"Little master, what is the matter with you summoning me?" Seeing that it has not changed because of the change in status, Huang Qiong is standing in front of him affectionately as always. The aunt Yao whose name is called Chen Yao, this aunt Yao who has brought up Huang Qiong since she was a child, also looked at Huang Qiong, who was eighteen years old in front of her, with three points of respect and seven points of doting eyes.

"Aunt Yao, how many times have I told you, don't call me why little master. I can say that you brought it up single-handedly, and apart from being unrelated by blood, your position in my heart is no different from that of my mother. Don't say that I'm just a county king now, that is, I will become an emperor in the future, I will still be me in front of you, and I will still be the Qiong'er who pesters you to eat. ”

"Besides, in this mansion right now, I don't even have a single relative around me except you. You will be my family from now on, and please ask Aunt Yao to call me Qiong'er like my mother. Hearing that Chen Yao was a little master, Huang Qiong would agree to this person who was also a mother and sister.

After putting Chen Yao on the chair and sitting down, Huang Qiong also said straight to the point: "Qiong'er came to you so late because there are some things to discuss with you. Qiong'er is now living alone away from her mother's side, but after all, Qiong'er has been living in a cold palace with her mother since she was a child, and has no experience of living alone. ”

"Now I don't even have a loved one around but you, or even someone I trust. In the future, Aunt Yao will still have to take care of the big and small things in the house. Those palace maids, eunuchs, and servants will be up to you in the future. You don't have to be afraid because they are standing behind the emperor or the crown prince. In addition, you are also in charge of the money in the house. ”

"By the way, Qiong'er went out to look for you today, and accidentally encountered an incident on the street and bought a person. I went to that inn because of the person who bought it. Speaking of which, Huang Qiong told Chen Yao in detail what happened and the people she met when she went out to look for Chen Yao today.

"Qiong'er, since the first meeting with the prince in the Wende Palace, to the subsequent contact, found that although the prince was very enthusiastic about me on the surface, he was far from the same in his heart. Qiong'er felt that the prince had not forgotten the events of the past, and his mind was quite thoughtful. Not only did I dislike it in my heart, but I even had some rejection or hatred in my bones. ”

"Now in this mansion, except for Aunt Yao, Qiong'er doesn't even have a confidant. The palace maids and eunuchs were all sent by the old man, and they were probably all sent with the purpose of three-point surveillance. As for whether there were any other concubines or princes among them, it is not known at this time. As far as I know, Concubine De, the mother of King Song, is currently in charge of the affairs of the six palaces instead of the seriously ill queen, and she can be described as powerful in the palace. ”

"Did she put anyone in it, I'm afraid she knows now, and the old man should know it, and only I don't know. And those guards chosen by the prince's side are more appropriate to spy on me than to protect me. Coupled with those servants, I don't know how to say anything about our house. ”

"Although we say that people are harmless and tiger-hearted, the prince's tiger may not be harmful. Compared with the crown prince or other kings, there are no people around Qiong'er, especially those who can consult with her, and can help Qiong'er with advice. The person Qiong'er saw today, although he was a little arrogant and arrogant, he was still a person with some ability. ”

Qiong'er pondered for a while, but decided to take him in first. After all, there are some things that it is better to discuss with one more person than to ponder by yourself. Can three stinkers be able to top one Zhuge Liang? However, there are some aspects of this person, and he still needs to taste another product before he can make a conclusion. Aunt Yao, what do you think? ”

"The little master is old, and the young lady is the first to come out, this understanding of people will definitely not be bad. These things, the little master can make his own decisions. As for the affairs in the house, I was ordered by the young lady to take care of the little master, so I will naturally do my best, and the little master can rest assured. ”

"But little master, you must pay more attention to a few keys when accepting people. One is that these people have to be faithful, and they have to be loyal to you. When we value the talents of certain people, we should also pay attention to their character. Sometimes people who are pulled out of suffering do not know how to repay their kindness. There are even some people who are more likely to be co-opted by others in the face of wealth and interests. ”

"Second, you must beware of some people deliberately taking advantage of your mind to insert people around you. None of the children of the Heavenly Family are good at stubble, and the intrigue does not need to be learned in the palace. The prince is not necessarily the only one targeting you. Compared to the prince on the surface, your brothers who are hidden in the dark are more terrifying. ”

"They don't care if you have any thoughts on the throne, as long as you are the emperor's son, you will be their natural opponent. Even as long as you exist, in the eyes of some people, it will become a stumbling block for them to ascend to high positions. They know better than anyone else the truth that the first strike is stronger, and then the first strike suffers. ”

"Even if you're not a threat now, they'll do better than anyone else if you don't have a chance. Although you are the first to be the first of the young lady, your age and experience are here, and you haven't really understood their methods. What you think, they think too. I understand your thoughts, and it is precisely because these people are more important to you that you need to be more cautious. ”、

"Whether it's the guards outside, the eunuchs and palace maids, or the servants, everyone knows that what they can really do is not much of a role other than monitoring you. Because you can't negotiate confidential matters with them, it's hard for them to be trusted by you. ”

"So no matter how many people those people send, they are just a group of pawns on the surface, and they don't play a big role. If you can get someone around you, even if you can't master all your secrets, as long as you can get to the core, that's the most fatal thing for you. People must be found, but how to find them needs to be carefully weighed. ”

For Huang Qiong, a child raised by herself, Chen Yao naturally doesn't have to be submissive like an ordinary palace maid. It's just that although the words are very direct, they have been sticking to their duties in terms of etiquette. Huang Qiong repeatedly asked her to call her nickname, but Chen Yao never agreed.

Hearing Chen Yao's words, Huang Qiong stood up after pondering for a while, and bowed deeply to Chen Yao: "Aunt Yao's reminder is really Lao Cheng's words for the country, and Qiong'er has been taught." Please rest assured Aunt Yao, even if Qiong'er is not for herself, she will definitely be careful for her mother and Aunt Yao. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Qiong changed the topic and said: "Aunt Yao, although you are not Qiong'er's mother, but for so many years, the relationship between you and me is no worse than that of a real mother and son. You had concerns by your mother's side before, but Qiong'er didn't dare to force you. But now that you are out of the palace, there is only one of your relatives left by Qiong'er's side, you must not be a little master, isn't this trapping Qiong'er in injustice? ”

Chen Yao's insistence made Huang Qiong a little helpless, and once again persuaded Chen Yao to change her mind. It's just that after Chen Yao listened to Huang Qiong's pleading again, she sighed slightly and said, "You were brought up by Aunt Yao, how can Aunt Yao not understand your thoughts?" But this is in the palace, not in the palace Tingxue Xuan. ”

"Right now, it's such a situation in the house, our every move is under the noses of others. In your royal family, the master is the master, the slave is the slave, and the rules are very strict. If I exceed even half a point, I will give some people who have a heart to give the truth. ”

"Those people, especially the crown prince, are afraid that they want to rectify you right now, and they are worried that there is no excuse. In their eyes, it doesn't matter if you're a threat or not. As long as your brother exists for a day, he will become even a potential threat in their eyes, find an excuse to rectify you, even if it doesn't bring you down, but cut off even the only personal person, they will be happy to see it. ”

"It doesn't take much, a crime of not governing the family strictly and conniving at subordinates above the master is enough for you. In extraordinary times, let's be cautious. Your mind Aunt Yao has received it, but the things that can be called are not important. For Miss and Aunt Yao, you live peacefully, and it is more important than anything else to be able to start a family and have children in the future. ”

After Chen Yao finished speaking, Huang Qionggang wanted to say something. A faint, almost inaudible sound came from outside the door, which made Huang Qiong quickly stop the topic. Huang Qiong found that there were people outside, and Chen Yao, who had followed Huang Qiong's mother for many years and was naturally not weak in martial arts, also heard the same.

Chen Yao, who stopped Huang Qiong from going out to take a look at the uninvited guest outside the door, sat back on the chair and sighed outside the door, "I know you will definitely find it." Now that it's here, there's no need to hide it. Come in, there are no outsiders here. ”

As Chen Yao's words fell, the closed door of Huang Qiong's study was pushed open, and after a person walked in quietly, he hesitated and turned around and closed the door again. Seeing the person who walked in, Huang Qiong was slightly stunned, and at the same time, her eyebrows wrinkled a little without a trace. But in his words, he smiled and said, "Did you send this account book a little early?" ”

And the person who came in, after being stunned for a moment for Huang Qiong's ridiculed words, then bowed his hand slightly and said, "I've seen the King of Hejian County below." I came uninvited and took the liberty to disturb the door, not to send the account book to the prince, but to meet the old man back then. ”

"It's just that your county palace is heavily guarded, and you can't afford to climb it up to the next level. If you want to enter through the gate of the palace, I'm afraid you can't do it below. And in the next eagerness to meet the old man, so he took some extraordinary measures, and if there was any offense, he also asked His Royal Highness Haihan, the king of Hejian County. ”

It turned out that the person who came to Huang Qiong's palace in the middle of the night was none other than the innkeeper who Huang Qiong saw in the small inn during the day when Huang Qiong was dealing with Jia Quan's father's funeral. And this wanted to peep, but was caught by a current shopkeeper, and when he saw that he was discovered, he was generous and simply made clear his intentions.

Obviously, he didn't want Huang Qiong to misunderstand. After all, Huang Qiong's status is there, if he offends this Hejian County King who is still the first time he has heard his name. Even if he himself is not afraid, it is a troublesome thing after all. A county king may not be anything to those high-ranking officials and dignitaries, but he is still very scruples about ordinary people like him.

"Oh, visiting an old friend? I really didn't know that in the county king's mansion on the first day out of the palace, there was still an old friend of the shopkeeper Fang. If there really is, it would be an honor to be in the next place, and there is still such an old friend of the righteous and thin cloud people in my house. Although after Aunt Yao appeared in the inn, this guy's expression at that time had already betrayed who his old friend was.
