Chapter 216: Leeway
Hui Guifei's anti-decree originally wanted to scare and scare Xiao Junjuan, but instead gave Xiao Junjuan a reassurance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Resistance? She had never received any holy decree to keep her in the palace, not even a verbal decree, so there was still room for redemption, as long as she tried to get Emperor Taihong to take back her destiny before that decree came.
Arguing with Concubine Hui here will only be futile, and the top priority should be to find a way out, this matter is difficult to resolve by her alone, and she needs to find someone to help.
Xiao Junwan bowed lightly: "The slave understands, thank you for your kindness." ”
"You understand that this palace is for your good, and this palace is afraid that you will not appreciate it, and you will resent this palace in your heart."
"Slaves don't dare."
"Okay, you can move over today, this palace has ordered someone to clean up your residence, which is much better than the room you have in Yuning Palace."
"Can the slave move again tomorrow? His Royal Highness will leave the palace tomorrow, and there are still many things that need to be taken care of by the slaves and maids today, and the slaves and maids want to leave His Highness, so they have to explain a few words to His Highness, so as not to make His Highness uncomfortable. ”
"Okay, this palace is approved, since you are going back to let King Heng have a preparation, bring Fang Shangshi over, she is carefully selected from the young female officials in this palace, and she will definitely be able to take care of His Royal Highness King Heng." Concubine Hui instructed the palace maid: "Go and bring Fang Shang to serve." ”
Xiao Junwan suddenly remembered that she came to Concubine Hui to ask the reason behind Emperor Taihong's general's mansion, but she almost forgot about it when Concubine Hui made such a fuss.
"Niangniang, the slave maid still has something to ask Niangniang."
"What's the matter?"
"Niangniang, do you know where the mansion given by His Majesty to His Royal Highness King Heng is?"
"Of course I know, everyone in Sui'an City knows that the once beautiful Zhenguo General's Mansion is your uncle's house."
Even Concubine Hui had a slightly mocking chuckle on her lips when she spoke, which showed that this matter had indeed become a laughing stock.
The more this was the case, the more Xiao Junwan didn't understand, and asked with a frown: "Why did Your Majesty think of giving the General's Mansion to His Royal Highness King Heng as a palace?" ”
Concubine Hui replied nonchalantly: "You have to ask Su Xiang about this, it was his idea." ”
Su Xiang? Xiao Junwan's eyebrows frowned deeper, but the doubts in her heart gradually dispelled, she thought it was Emperor Taihong's own idea, which was incomprehensible, if Su Xiang was making trouble, then giving the General's Mansion to Qin You would be able to figure it out.
She pulled the mother and son off the horse, which has made Su Fu hold a grudge, hate the house and Wu, how could Su Xiang hope that Qin You would be better.
Although this case has long been rehabilitated, it is a scar for Emperor Taihong, even if Emperor Taihong was deceived by Zhou and planned to kill Qu Feng, but in the eyes of the people of Qi State, he is more or less suspected of killing Zhongliang by mistake.
Su Xiang asked Qin You to live in the General's Mansion, because he wanted to uncover the scar that Emperor Taihong was afraid of from time to time, as long as Emperor Taihong went to the Hengwang Mansion, he would inevitably touch the scene, and he would think of Qu Feng, who had high achievements in the past, and remembered the doubts of the people of Qi State, so that Emperor Taihong would not go a second time if he went once. So Qin You, who lived in the General's Mansion, would be forgotten by his father again.
As for why Emperor Taihong agreed, Xiao Junwan could also guess one or two. The more Emperor Taihong was afraid of revealing his scars, the more he wanted to calm down the turmoil of the Qu family's unjust case, but the vacant general's mansion invisibly became a witness to the unjust case. In Emperor Taihong's view, only by letting the mansion change hands can the people of Sui Ancheng gradually forget the past of the mansion.
The method of changing hands seems easy, but it is difficult for anyone to live in that mansion and change to anyone, presumably Emperor Taihong has long been at a loss for this, Su Xiang mentioned it, in the eyes of Emperor Taihong, Qin You has undoubtedly become the most suitable candidate.
For the royal family, Qin You is lonely, no one will speak for him, and no one will have any objections to the mansion, Qin You can live if he can't live; For the people, Emperor Taihong let his son live in Zengqu Mansion, which also shows that he is open in his heart and does not believe that Qufu has been wronged and resentful.
Xiao Junwan raised the corners of her lips, although Su Xiang's revenge move was beautiful, it was not a powerful move, so that she would lose the whole game. For Qin You, being forgotten by Emperor Taihong in his mansion will not only not be miserable, but on the contrary, he will be able to live a stable life.
"See Niangniang, Lord Shangyi."
When Xiao Junwan was pondering, she heard someone saluting, and when she looked sideways, it was a female official of the same age as her, presumably Fang Shangshi mentioned by Concubine Hui.
Although the female officials in the palace are already higher than the palace maids, there are very few who can become maids at this age. At the beginning, Xiao Junwan was able to be a waiter because Emperor Taihong wanted to play a play of grace to the Xiao family among the people, and this woman could be a waiter, if she was not from an outstanding family background, she would have the support of nobles.
Xiao Junwan looked at Hui Guifei, and had a number in her heart, Fang Shangshou was Hui Guifei's person.
Although she and Concubine Hui have not completely parted ways now, they cannot allow Concubine Hui to plant power in King Heng's Mansion.
Xiao Junwan didn't shirk on the surface, only because she got out quickly and left Concubine Hui's sight to think about countermeasures.
Concubine Hui asked Fang Shangshou to go back with Xiao Junwan, so that Fang Shangshou could familiarize himself with the environment of being an errand by Qin You's side in advance.
This is just the reason why Hui Guifei told Xiao Junjuan, and Xiao Junhuan had already guessed Hui Guifei's true thoughts, Hui Guifei just let this Fang Shangshou stare at her, beware of any tricks she played, so that Hui Guifei's plan to trap her would fall short.
Qin You is not a big person, and she is not worthy of Hui Guifei's beware, Hui Guifei does not need to send capable people to Qin You's side, so this Fang Shangshi should be an extremely mediocre person, or she is just a pair of eyes of Hui Guifei, and she can't be a brain.
Xiao Junwan glanced at Fang Shangshi, who was walking behind the side, this woman didn't look scheming, but since it was Concubine Hui's eyes, she had to guard against it.
Xiao Junwan retracted his gaze and asked lightly, "What's your name?" ”
"Back to my lord, the slave is called Ruoshui."
Xiao Junwan looked back at Fang Ruoshui again, as his name suggests, even his words are as gentle as water
"When you get to Your Highness in the future, you have to take good care of Your Highness, Your Highness is different from other masters, you have to pay more attention, and the rest will wait for you to get to Hengwang's Mansion and then slowly understand."
"Yes, slaves and maids remember the teachings of their lords."
Fang Ruoshui didn't have any city government, and what Xiao Junwan said was enough to make Fang Ruoshui relax her vigilance against her.
Xiao Junwan was still a little rusty when she saw Fang Ruoshui's saluting just now, so she looked at her and asked, "You, just entered the palace?" ”
"Hui sir, yes."
Xiao Junwan smiled: "You can become a waiter just after entering the palace, it seems that the concubine Niangniang is very important to you." ”
"Niangniang is also for the sake of the slave's father's loyalty to the general."
"Who is your father?"
"It's the adjutant of the Great General."
The general Fang Ruoshui said was the elder brother of Concubine Hui, one of the few capable generals in the Qi Kingdom. Fang Ruoshui was promoted to be a waiter by Hui Guifei but was sent to Qin You's side by Hui Guifei, which seemed to be a heavy promotion, but in fact it was treated perfunctorily. Concubine Hui obviously didn't want Fang Ruoshui to take more care of her, but for the sake of Fang's father, she promoted Fang Ruoshui to a waiter to show her grace, and then found a random place to send Fang Ruoshui away.
