Chapter 281: Illusion
It would be false to say that you are not disappointed.
Although Sister Lan's affairs didn't like Yunxiang's family at the beginning, it was still very good to the fourth master's family overall. Especially for the fourth master, Yunxiang's family has always kept in mind the kindness of sending charcoal in the snow at the beginning.
And the fourth grandfather's family, relying on the half-day idle life sent by Yunxiang, jumped from a rich peasant to a well-known landlord and wealthy household in a mountain village and even Qunshan County.
"What, do you suffer a lot to recognize me as a cousin?" Zhao Xian said it with a smile, but there was a faint threat.
Yun Xiang glanced at Zhao Xian and laughed, "Since His Royal Highness has found out about our family, then you should also know that the Liu family's branch in the backing village is not just us. And we, who were separated from the grandfather of the fifth room, even broke off our relatives. Now some people are in Zhaoling County, and there is a vein, which is in the mountain village. There is also the Liu family in Dongxuan Mansion. There are so many people waiting to confess to His Highness. ”
The fifth prince only felt a little bad when he thought of this. According to the people who went to investigate, he only felt that his head was big, "His Royal Highness will not let them enter Beijing easily." ”
Yun Xiang pursed her lips and looked at His Royal Highness Fifth seriously, "We are a family, my father is honest, it's okay for him to bow his head and do things, but nothing else." Even if the elder brother succeeds in the first class, he is just a hairy boy who goes in and out of the house, not to mention the younger brother, who is still a half-grown child. Although I carry the name of a county lord on my back, I really have no background. Your Highness is trying to ask me to admit my identity, to you. What's the use? ”
The fifth prince slowly put away his smile, "What you said is good, but you missed out that you are a disciple of Master Chengtian." There is the senior brother of the national teacher of Xihua Kingdom, and the second senior brother who is known as the divine doctor, and you alone can know about natural disasters and understand agricultural affairs. It is impossible for Master Chengtian to give you only these, as a closed disciple, I have reason to believe that your ability is more than that. And your father. But in his hand is the secret recipe for improving the grain seed! ”
"So what?" Yun Xiang sneered, "Second Highness, doesn't it know that many people who beat me or my family's idea ended up honestly putting away their claws?" ”
The eyes of the five princes gradually deepened. "I've been suspicious for a long time, and now that I'm so sharp-toothed, I'm sure of it." Seeing Yun Xiang raise his eyebrows, he continued, "At the beginning, Li Jingrui was a loyal dog of the second brother. But since I met you. I gradually stopped listening to the commands. You say, "Did you rebel against him?" ”
Yun Xiang didn't pay attention to the image and rolled her eyes, "I've met that person twice, but he came to trouble me!" I'm idle, what do I do against him? Saying this, Yun Xiang's voice suddenly lowered, "I advise Your Highness to be more careful when you speak," she pointed to the sky. "It's still there!"
Zhao Xian's expression was interesting and cracked, and he was silent for a long time. Cai said, "Actually, you don't have to worry about what will happen to me." What the mother concubine cares about most is the Liu family, and she will never allow me to do anything to endanger the Liu family. The reason why I want to make it clear to you is just to remind you. The background of your family cannot be hidden. Now most of the people in the Liu family already know, and my mother also knows. But they didn't plan to make it public, but only exchanged tacit understanding in private, and they wanted to protect you in secret. ”
This Zhao Xian obviously changed his strategy again, Yun Xiang sighed secretly, this young man grew up in the palace, where will there be fewer eyes! So he smiled and said, "Then thank you for your understanding." Our family does not have the intention of clinging to wealth, and please don't worry about being relied on by poor relatives like us. ”
Zhao Xian choked, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh. Well, he's going to take the family for his own use. However, compared to those important ministers in the DPRK, Liu Yunxiang's family is really nothing. The only thing that he values is Liu Yunxiang's identity as a disciple of Master Chengtian.
But looking at Liu Yunxiang's current attitude, it is obvious that she doesn't want to wade into this pool of troubled waters. The eldest prince and the second prince have both suffered under her, so it's better for him not to be bored. As long as she doesn't help each other, it's the best situation.
"That's it! Admit it or not! It's really funny! The fourth prince flicked his sleeves, "Remember, you will be covered by me in the future!" If anyone bullies you, give me my name! ”
Yun Xiang blinked, watching a scheming boy turn into a righteous, arrogant, and grinning silly boy in seconds. I really can't help but want to award Zhao Xian in front of me an Oscar statuette.
"Thank you, Your Highness! If nothing happens, please forgive Yunxiang for retiring. Yun Vanilla bowed and took a few steps back.
Zhao Xian pouted, he had offended this cousin. Wasn't he also trying to test her? Compared to her distrust, he is more cautious now. The eldest prince relied on his old age and faintly regarded himself as the crown prince. And the second prince born to the queen is a serious heir.
It is said that with the tradition of the Great Xia Dynasty, the eldest prince is no match for the second prince no matter what. But in this, there are some unclear ways.
Today's imperial concubine is the wife of the emperor before he ascended the throne, and she is a serious wife. And the eldest prince, from birth, is the identity of the son-in-law.
Later, the emperor and several brothers who were also descendants competed for the throne, and in order to gain the support of the northern clans, he made a promise that he would marry the Wei family as the empress after ascending the throne.
In this way, the original wife can only be subordinated to the position of the imperial concubine. If this happens in other families, it is a degrading wife and a concubine, and it is punishable.
But what happened in the emperor's house, who dared to say more? The imperial concubine's mother family is a noble family, and she did not make a lot of effort when the emperor seized the throne. Later, although the official worshiped the scholars of the palace, he could not change the established facts.
The emperor owes something to the imperial concubine and the eldest prince, so he also favors the eldest prince very much, which makes some people start to waver, so the matter of the prince has been delayed again and again to this day.
In other words, strictly speaking, the eldest prince and the second prince are both concubines. Although the names are different now, there is no difference in the emperor's heart. In this way, the two have already regarded each other as opponents, not obvious on the surface, but secretly they are pinching happily.
Yun Xiang walked all the way back to the banquet, and at this time, only a few of the ladies left did not go to perform. She is one of them.
As soon as he sat down, he saw that the four princes opposite also returned to their seats with a smile. That heartless look, I don't know how many people I deceived. (To be continued.) )
