The south is surrounded by the sea on one side, and the north of the port is the main transportation artery of the south and the main economic source to other countries.
Leaving the country and relying on the weakness of the southern country, he wanted to attack the idea of Hong Kong and the north. But Leng Zixiu came to the south for a few days, but he still couldn't negotiate. The main reason is that An Guo also took a fancy to this piece of fat, and the emperor of the southern kingdom also took advantage of this to make them fight against each other.
After all, Yue Lingran is a daughter's family, although she doesn't understand what the strategic situation map is for, but in the end, she also understands that it has a deep relationship.
If she stole this thing from the Xiwang Mansion, then it was really a collaboration with the enemy and treason.
Rose, who has received patriotic education since she was a child, is also a little hesitant at this moment. Although he hates the emperor of the southern kingdom, will the people of the southern kingdom be implicated? If she starts a war because of this, will she become a sinner for the ages?
Seeing her hesitation, Leng Zixiu also felt that it was difficult for a strong man, but he still couldn't bear to let go of this chess piece, so he explained in a rare voice: "Now, this palace and the prince of Anguo are fighting for the treaty port in the north of Hong Kong at the same time, no matter which of us gets the north of the port, you in the south will inevitably have to hand over part of the economic rights and interests there." That's the way it is, so you don't have to worry about whether you're going to be a sinner. It's just that between Anguo and leaving the country, you chose me. As far as I know, Prince An has just entered the imperial city, and you have never known him all your life, how can he help you? Only I can help you get what you want. The premise is that I also want to get what I want. β
Yue Lingran's hand clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and the mandarin ducks on the handkerchief were also a little wrinkled and deformed because of her exertion.
"Are you serious?" Yue Lingran's hands trembled a little, and she hid them in her sleeves, she tried her best to keep her composure, and she couldn't let people look down on her. Now she is weak, and there is no one around her, so she can only fight this time.
"This hall guarantees with personality that what I just said is absolutely true." Leng Zixiu suddenly said seriously.
Leng Zixiu is a person, and he is still credible in the end. In her previous life, her brother also said more than once that the second prince who left the country was a man who stood up to the sky and the earth, and he would definitely do great things in the future. It's a pity that his sister only likes Qi Tianling.
Yue Lingran suddenly let go of the handkerchief, nodded at Leng Zixiu, and asked, "If I get the strategic situation map, how can I contact you?" β
Leng Zixiu groaned slightly, and only after half a sound did he speak: "If you get it, you will hand it over to the housekeeper of your Xiwang Mansion." β
Yue Ling was taken aback, in her previous life, she and Qi Tianling both trusted Feng An, the housekeeper of the Xiwang Mansion, very much. Feng An is honest and kind, calm and reliable, and has been by the side of King Xi for more than ten years, conscientious and diligent. Zuo Luo and Qi Tianling both trusted him very much, and they also handed over the key to the head of the house to him to deal with.
Ten years ago, she hadn't entered the palace, so when did Leng Zixiu install this eyeliner? Ten years ago, Qi Tianling was still an unfavored prince, why would Leng Zixiu be interested in him.
Seeing that she was a little hesitant, Leng Zixiu smiled and said, "This palace is willing to tell you about this, and naturally I can trust you, Concubine Yue, what do you say?" β
Yes, Feng An does hold the lifeblood of the Xiwang Mansion, if she can get rid of Feng An, it will indeed eliminate a major disaster. There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people, since Leng Zixiu is willing to tell her about this, there is indeed some sincerity.
Yue Lingran's mood eased a lot at once, a relaxed smile on his face, and he slowly spoke: "This is natural, the Second Highness is so atmospheric, I should naturally do my best." β
In the last four words, Yue Ling Ran worked extra hard, as if he had made a great decision.
Leng Zixiu nodded slightly, and said, "It's not too early, and it's inconvenient for you and me to stay here for too long, so the main hall will leave first, waiting for the good news of Miss Yue." β
Yue Ling Ran is a blessing and sends it as a gift.
When Yue Lingran returned home, it was already noon, and Urran was busy in the palace, and Feng An was also there, and she and Urran didn't know what they were discussing.
Seeing Yue Ling Ran coming back, Ying Lan hurriedly greeted her, and said happily: "Niangniang, the slave maid and the housekeeper discussed the etiquette of your return to Ning tomorrow (that is, returning to the door, also known as returning to the mother's house~), Steward Feng is really powerful, and everything is very thoughtful." β
She and Qi Tianling have been married for three days, and although they are side concubines, this gift of returning to Ning naturally cannot be neglected. In her previous life, it was Feng An Zhang Luo, and her father also praised Qi Tianling for being considerate and thoughtful, which had most of Feng An's contributions.
Such a hard-working housekeeper actually γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
Feng An naturally heard about Yue Lingran's temperament, although it was the new master who entered the mansion, he did a good job of being thoughtful, but just when he raised his eyes and saw Yue Lingran's inquiring gaze, he felt a sudden in his heart, did he not do enough in some places?
Yue Lingran quickly retracted his gaze and said to Feng An gently: "Steward Feng has a heart, I have just entered the mansion, and I don't understand some things very well, and I still need Steward Feng to mention more in the future." β
Feng An was flattered and replied: "Where is the mother, these are all things that villains should do." β
Yue Ling nodded, raised her eyes and signaled to Urryan, Cherryan hurriedly took out a silver ingot and handed it to Feng An's hand, "You will do your best in the future, our mother is very generous." β
Feng An naturally knew that the weight of the silver was not light, and he had already heard that Yue Ling was generous, and hurriedly thanked him: "Niang Niang is too polite, she has tormented the villain." β
Yue Ling smiled kindly and said nothing more.
In the evening, Qi Tianling came back. Yue Lingran heard the movement, and hurriedly took the rare black rice porridge that Urryan had prepared early in the morning and brought it to Qi Tianling's study.
Yue Lingran has been having trouble with Qi Tianling since she got married, and now she takes the initiative to show goodwill, which makes Qi Tianling a little uncomfortable.
"Why did you remember to come to the king's study today?" Qi Tianling asked lukewarmly.
Yue Lingran smiled gently, looking virtuous, which made Qi Tianling slightly in a trance, he still knew something about Yue Lingran, he was used to being rude and willful, and now like this, it seems that there is nothing good.
"These days are not concubines, the queen mother has advised the concubine to serve the prince well. Therefore, the concubine asked Urryan to prepare a rare black rice porridge, I heard that the prince has not had a good stomach recently, this porridge has the effect of strengthening the spleen and warming the liver, nourishing the spleen and stomach, and the prince should also appreciate his face and eat more. β
Qi Tianling picked up the bowl of porridge suspiciously, and muttered for a long time, but he didn't drink it after all. He suddenly remembered what Qiandao told him when he left the palace todayγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
Qi Tianling put down the porridge, raised his eyes to look at Yue Lingran, and asked suspiciously: "I heard that you talked to Leng Zixiu for a while in the garden of Qiankun Palace today, what did you say?" β
Yue Lingran's hand under the corner of the table tightened, how much did Qi Tianling know about the conversation between her and Leng Zixiu today?
