Chapter Ninety-Six: Checks and Balances (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Wei Lu looked at Chu Bei's hand and said, "If King Anjun really robs him, he can't rob him." β
Wei Lu poured cold water with one hand, and the angry Wei Feng almost beat him.
But it cannot be denied that Wei Lu is telling the truth.
Chu Bei is just a concubine from the outer chamber of the Zhennan Hou Mansion, if it weren't for the Zhennan Hou Mansion, he would have no power or power.
King Anjun is the son of the former prince, the emperor's nephew, and the eldest grandson of the queen mother.
The most important thing is that so many doctors in the Tai Hospital know that the poison in the body of the master will die soon.
The third girl is smart and bold, marrying the master, in everyone's opinion, it is a flower inserted in cow dung.
The more Wei Feng thought about it, the more angry he became, why did King Anjun like to rob people and things so much.
The crown prince, he wants to grab it.
Lord's woman, he also wants to rob it.
Feeling that his body was a little cold, Wei Feng shivered and looked at Chu Bei.
Chu Bei was wearing a mask and couldn't see his face clearly, but his lips were pursed into a line, and his eyes were cold and murderous.
A few of the guards didn't dare to move, and they didn't dare to say anything.
After a while, Chu Bei stood up.
Wei Feng hurriedly asked, "Master, where are you going?" β
Chu Bei didn't speak, jumped up, stepped on the lake, and left Jinmoju.
Wei Feng was in a hurry, but the third girl had told her that she should take care of her body with peace of mind, and she couldn't use force casually, so why don't you die?
Chunhui Temple, main house.
Qingyun sat in a chair, and the magpie stood behind her, holding the brocade box in her hand.
The brocade box contained the beauty cream sent by King Anjun.
This box of beauty cream, Bofu is not good for King Anjun to return back, plus Qingyun mentioned the secret guard of Zhennan Hou's Mansion, so the old lady asked Qingyun to hand over the beauty cream to the dark guard, and let the dark guard take it back to Zhennan Hou.
How this matter is finally resolved depends on the meaning of Zhennan Houfu.
Qingyun took the brocade box and didn't leave in a hurry, she had to wait for Mother Sun to come back.
Waiting left and right, waiting for Qingyun felt that her ass was stiff, and Mother Sun came back.
She came in. Without waiting for her to see the ceremony, the old lady couldn't wait to ask, "Did Old Lady Jiang really make a couplet?" β
Mother Sun shook her head and said a little angrily. "No, Mrs. Jiang didn't make a connection at all, I don't know why there are such rumors on the street, and besides, when the slave maid went to Jiang's house. Zhennanhou is also there. β
Hearing that Mother Sun said that Old Lady Jiang didn't make the next couplet, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief, and then said angrily, "Who is chewing the root of the tongue indiscriminately, saying that the old lady Jiang is out of the lower couplet, and it is in vain to worry about my uncle's house!" β
Zhou Ziting sat next to the old lady and helped the old lady say, "Talking nonsense, spreading rumors everywhere, sooner or later you will have a rotten tongue!" β
Listen to her. The eldest lady's face turned blue for a moment.
But soon, she returned to normal, and said with a smile, "Since it is a rumor, it means that no one has anything to do with it, and the daughter-in-law has something to do, so she will go down first." β
The old lady was relieved, waved her hand and said, "Don't be here, what should you do." β
Qingyun stood up. and Mu Qingzhi and the others saluted the old lady and said goodbye.
When she withdrew, Mu Qingzhi gritted her teeth and gouged Qingyun, "I have no face in front of my grandmother, you are ruthless!" β
She jumped out word by word. It seems that he has a deep hatred with Qingyun.
Qingyun glanced at her coldly.
Mu Qingzhi seemed unwilling to talk to Qingyun more, turned her head and left.
After she left, Mu Qingxue looked at Qingyun and said, "Third sister, although we all know that you are telling the truth, you have also suffered a lot of grievances. But such a blatant demolition of the second sister's stage and going against the eldest lady is not good for you, if I were you, even if I was wronged and unbearable, I would have to endure it, and now I want to remedy it, maybe I can also dissipate the anger of the eldest lady, and I will not blame the past. β
Remedy?
Qingyun smiled, and the words were all spoken, how could she remedy it?
At this time, go back and beg the old lady, will you be exempted from Mu Qingrou's punishment?
She didn't have that idleness.
Qingyun casually picked a delicate moon season that bloomed, and said with a smile, "Fourth sister, do you really think that if I go back to intercede with my grandmother and let go of my fifth sister, the eldest lady will not be guilty of the past?" β
Mu Qingxue was dumbfounded.
Qingyun smiled lightly, "Even you don't believe it, why bother to be this lobbyist, I understand your difficulties, but I'm not your stepping stone, everyone doesn't violate the river water, and they are naturally safe, but whoever wants to take me as a fool, if you want to calculate, you can calculate, I don't mind asking her to try my methods." β
Qingyun's words were gentle, but the momentum made Mu Qingxue stunned.
When Mu Qingxue came back to her senses, Qingyun had already turned around and left.
Looking at Qingyun's back, the corners of Mu Qingxue's mouth hooked up with a sneer.
She was confident, and she didn't see if she really had such means, if she really had the means, how could she be punished by the eldest lady and the old lady to stay in the Buddhist hall for two years, and even the maid dared to show her face, and swallowed the embroidery needle, and almost became dumb.
It's just that there is the backing of Zhennanhou Mansion, and the back is against the big tree to enjoy the shade.
She originally wanted to advise her, don't underestimate the eldest lady, the eldest lady is enduring it now, but she just wants to ask the Zhennan Marquis Mansion to help restore the Marquis of the FΓΉ Bo Mansion.
Once the Marquis of Palfu is restored, her death is not far off.
She was curious if the secret guards of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan had the ability to protect her.
In the house, the old lady sat on the Luohan couch and played with the Buddhist beads in her hand with a calm expression.
Mother Sun brought the tea, the old lady stretched out her hand to take it, and sighed, "In the past two days, I have become more and more suspicious, and I am not as good as a girl in Qingyun, who thinks about things well, and almost blames Mrs. Jiang." β
Mother Sun smiled and waved her hand to let the other maids in the room withdraw.
The old lady was drinking tea, and when she saw Mother Sun's move, her eyebrows unexpectedly furrowed, and she smiled, "What do you want to tell me secretly?" β
Mother Sun walked behind the old lady, helped the old lady pinch her shoulder, and sighed, "There is something, the slave maid feels the need to sue the old lady." β
The old lady put down the teacup, wiped the corners of her mouth lightly, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?" β
Mother Sun glanced around, leaned into the old lady's ear and muttered a few words.
The old lady was stunned, she turned her head to look at Mother Sun, and said in disbelief, "Really kneeling?" β
Mother Sun nodded, and her voice choked up, "For the sake of the third girl's family, Old Lady Jiang has sacrificed too much, and now that the Bofu can restore the Marquis of FΓΉ, even if he can make the next couplet, I am afraid that the knife is on his neck, and he will not say half a word." β
The old lady's heart sank, she never thought that the Zhennan Hou Mansion was willing to marry Qingyun, it was the Zhennan Hou who the old lady Jiang knelt down and begged.
Such a proud Wenchen, for the sake of his granddaughter's relatives, came to the door in the middle of the night to ask for a meeting, and even did not hesitate to kneel down to beg each other...... Even if Zhennanhou is an iron heart, I am afraid that it will be soft.
The old lady slowly turned around, and Mother Sun continued to help her squeeze her shoulders.
"The slave maid also overheard it, today Zhennanhou went to Jiang's house to make amends to the old lady Jiang, and the old lady Jiang avoided her body and refused to let her, so the Zhennanhou smiled and said, 'What's the matter, do you want the old man to kneel back for you?' The old man said it bluntly, don't kneel! You really want someone to kneel down for you, and let Bei'er come and kowtow to you a few times." β
"At that time, Mrs. Jiang said angrily, 'I'm not dead yet, what kind of head is he kowtowing to me?!' Zhennanhou was not angry, only smiled and said, "Of course it is not for nothing, Bei'er is smart and agile, but over the years, he has been sick for a long time, I am afraid that he will be sad and sad, and I have not invited him to Mr., he reads books by himself, you are idle and idle, so I reluctantly teach Bei'er the truth of how to behave in the world, this grandson-in-law is not satisfied, you see for yourself." ββ
Mother Sun learned to talk to Zhennanhou and Mrs. Jiang, and she learned it well.
The old lady sighed, "Young Master Chu is sick, he couldn't work hard before, but now he can?" β
Thinking of yesterday, Chu Bei rescued Qingyun and vomited Qingyun's blood, and the old lady couldn't be happy.
It's not worth it for Mrs. Jiang.
Old lady Jiang is the prince, the prince has to bow respectfully when he sees him, and when he sees the emperor, he can not kneel, but kneel down to the town of Nanhou, let go of his dignity, and exchange it for such a family matter, if she is old lady Jiang, she can vomit blood.
Mother Sun shook her head, "This slave doesn't know, Zhennanhou firmly believes that Young Master Chu's illness can be cured, so let Old Master Jiang be harsh with Young Master Chu, he should be beaten, he should be scolded, and he should not feel distressed." β
"If it can be cured, it is naturally good," the old lady's voice was full of regret.
Mother Sun continued to help the old lady pinch her shoulders, talking, and passing the time.
The old lady listened with her eyes closed, and when she heard something, the old lady's eyes widened suddenly, and she asked, "What did you say that Zhennan Hou asked Old Lady Jiang to teach Young Master Chu?" β
The old lady suddenly spoke, startling Mother Sun, and she hurriedly replied, "The art of checks and balances." β
The old lady was shocked in her heart.
The way of the emperor, the art of checks and balances.
The purpose of checks and balances is to stabilize the imperial power, which is something that the future prince will learn.
How did Zhennanhou ask Old Lady Jiang to teach Young Master Chu to learn this?
The old lady wondered in her heart, so she listened to Mother Sun continue, "Zhennan Hou originally wanted the old lady Jiang to teach the eldest prince, but he was demoted and couldn't enter the palace, and the eldest prince couldn't leave the palace every day, so he taught the eldest young master Chu that in the future, he would support the eldest prince, be a counselor to the eldest prince, and seek a dragon merit, and the king is not a problem, Zhennan Hou thought very well, but was laughed at by the old lady Jiang, saying that he was a grandfather, and his grandson had not learned to climb yet, so he used a whip to drive him away." β
The old lady suddenly heard this, "I see, it's just that why didn't Zhennanhou let Old Lady Jiang teach Second Young Master Chu?" β
Mother Sun covered her mouth and smiled, "Second Young Master Chu is the grandson of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan, but who made Young Master Chu the future grandson-in-law of Old Lady Jiang, there is a difference in intimacy." β
The old lady also smiled, "If Young Master Chu's illness can be cured, and he can learn a few skills from Old Master Jiang, plus the power of the Hou Mansion in Zhennan, why worry about not being able to gain a firm foothold in the court?" β
Mother Sun was also laughing, "It's all good, it's just that Old Lady Jiang doesn't accept students casually, if Young Master Chu is not satisfied, he is afraid that Zhennanhou will kneel for him, he may not be taught." β
The master and servant chatted in the room.
I don't know how long it took for a knock on the door.
"Old lady, King Yijun asks to see the third girl."
