Chapter 81
Li Xin'er returned to King Zhao's Mansion as soon as she returned to King Zhao's mansion and took the blessing strip sent by Ouyang Lingling to King Zhao's courtyard.
The guard guarding the door stepped forward and blocked her way.
Since the Ouyang clan allowed Li Xin'er to enter and leave King Zhao's courtyard freely, the people in King Zhao's courtyard learned of her status in King Zhao's heart, and the subordinates were very respectful to her, and they hadn't tried to be intercepted for a long time.
"Lord Xia, what does this mean?"
Li Xin'er looked at the guard who was coming out in front of him, the guard was in his thirties, wearing brocade clothes, with a knife hanging from his waist, and the whole person was very tough. This is King Zhao's personal guard, Xiahou Yuan.
Xiahou Yuan glanced at Li Xin'er, who was dissatisfied, he looked like he was doing business, and stepped forward to ask for peace: "The prince has a life, so the last general will not dare not do it." ”
The two guards who stopped Li Xin'er were relieved when they saw Lord Xia come out to help them break the siege, you must know that Li Xin'er is the person on the tip of King Zhao's heart, and they don't want to offend her.
Xiahou Yuan opened the two guards and talked to Li Xin'er alone.
Xiahou Yuan is in his thirties, and he has always been one of King Zhao's many bodyguards, without a special official title. He's not a man without ambition, he's just missing a chance all the time.
Now that he sees Li Xin'er, he knows that his opportunity has come.
Li Xin'er basically has no backer in Shang except for King Zhao, if he takes refuge in her, she will not be able to do without him in the future, at least she can speak in front of King Zhao and help him a little, and now he doesn't mind helping.
Li Xin'er saw that Xiahou Yuan deliberately set aside the guards, and knew that he had something to say to her.
King Zhao had never let anyone intercept her, and today's behavior, coupled with Ouyang Lingling's words, couldn't help but make her wonder if something had happened.
"Miss Li, in fact, the prince doesn't want to do this to you, but, alas, the prince is also a last resort, Miss Li must be considerate of the prince." Xiahou Yuan sighed and said silently.
"Lord Xia, you might as well say it directly, what's the matter?"
Li Xin'er had a rough idea in her heart, King Zhao sent someone to intercept her, probably because she didn't want her to hear the conversation inside, and the content of the conversation must be her. Now the whole Shang country is spreading about her and King Zhao's affairs, many of them are not very good, at first it was good, and then King Zhao sent people to suppress it, after suppressing it, it was quiet for a while, they thought that this matter was over, who knew that the more they said it later, the more they said it, the more ugly it became, and even some theaters used their stories to make up plays.
Xiahou Yuan knew that this Miss Li was not as weak as she appeared to be, how could a really weak woman follow King Zhao back to her house, and still let King Zhao, who had always been filial, confront the Ouyang clan? This Miss Li is a scheming person at first glance.
It is because she is such a scheming person that he is willing to show favor to her, otherwise it is unknown whether those soft-hearted people will survive or not, just like Qin Siyu, although King Zhao found so many doctors for her, it was not to be able to marry Li Xin'er as much as possible.
"The people of Shang are a little prejudiced against the people of the Great Zhou, Princess Zhao is a native of the Great Zhou Dynasty is already a pain in the hearts of those officials, and now if even the side concubines are from the Great Zhou Dynasty, how can those officials bear it, so today, they will discuss this matter with the prince, but Miss Li rest assured, King Zhao's heart for Miss Li can be for Mingyue, and the prince will definitely marry Miss Li." Xiahou Yuan said.
Early this morning, Li Xin'er just left the palace, and those officials came to the palace, during this time, King Zhao had not recovered, and his body could not move, so he just listened to the excerpts, criticized the folds, and did not go to court.
Later, led by Ouyang Guoshi, dozens of ministers came over, and even knelt at the door, asking King Zhao not to set up Li Xin'er as a side concubine, but to be a concubine without a name.
How could King Zhao be willing to treat the women he loved the most like this, so he was so angry that he didn't meet them.
Under the scorching sun, dozens of ministers knelt in front of the door like this, bluntly saying that they would kneel until King Zhao was willing to see them. King Zhao has always refused to meet, until later, Concubine Ouyang sent someone to spread a word, King Zhao even smashed the cup, all the things that could be smashed in it, and then summoned the ministers, and the ministers did not come out again after they went in, and it had been half a day.
Li Xin'er immediately understood that as a ruler, if it was for the sake of a woman, regardless of the opinions of so many ministers, it would be a faint monarch. She knew that King Zhao would not, and King Zhao had his ambitions.
"Thank you, Lord Xia, Xin'er accepted your kindness, and she will repay your adult well in the future." Li Xin'er made a false salute to Xiahou Yuan, who hurriedly knelt down and said, "Miss Li will be the master of the palace in the future, and it is right for the general to do this." ”
Li Xin'er nodded, she understood Xiahou Yuan's thoughts, now she has no status in the Shang Kingdom, the only thing she can rely on is King Zhao's love for her, this love is still blocked so much, Xiahou Yuan chose to pull her now, that is, she is willing to be her person and do things for her, which is a good thing for her.
"Well, I will do what I need to do, and Xin'er will trouble Lord Xia in the future."
Both of them are smart people, and they don't need to be explained, one is to take refuge, and the other is to accept and promise.
"Actually, the prince really has a lot of heart for Miss, he didn't want to see these ministers at first, I hope Miss can understand."
Xiahou Yuan specially spoke for King Zhao, hoping that she would not rely on King Zhao's love for her and wait to make trouble with King Zhao. Because King Zhao still felt guilty about her at the beginning, if she made a fuss, no matter how much guilt she had, it would slowly fade.
"Thank you, Lord Xia, for reminding me, Xin'er understands."
Li Xin'er didn't say anything, turned around, but did not leave King Zhao's courtyard.
"I wonder if Lord Xia can take Xin'er to the kitchen?"
In the palace, there are only King Zhao and the two side concubines, as well as Qin Siyu, who have a small kitchen, and of course Li Xin'er will not have it. Besides, she won't go to the Ouyang clan and Qin Siyu's side, and the only ones left are the Ling clan.
But she didn't want to beg the Ling family for everything, after all, although the Ling family was good with her, she was scheming.
There is no better place than King Zhao, so that everyone can see her sincerity towards King Zhao.
Wait a minute, if King Zhao wants to tell her something, seeing that she is so busy for him, how can he take care of her, and he will always remember the old feelings.
Xiahou Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "It's rare that Miss Li has a heart for the prince, and the prince will definitely be very happy when he knows it." ”
King Zhao sent someone to guard the door to prevent Li Xin'er from entering, so if Li Xin'er wanted to go inside, he needed Xiahou Yuan's help. Of course Xiahou Yuan was willing, and when he saw Li Xin'er doing this, he was even more sure that his judgment was correct.
This Li Xin'er is really not stupid, a woman, you have to know how to take advantage of a woman's weakness. Although men look at it again and see a woman's hard work for themselves, they will not be able to bear it after all, and it is easy to arouse men's old feelings when they say food.
