Chapter Forty-Nine: The Affair of the Court
It's just to make it easier for her to stay here in the future.
When Xie Yutang came in, there were still some guests in the house.
Chi Wan sat on the counter, looking down at the account book, Xie Yutang saw the hairpin on Chi Wan's head at a glance, and his heart was secretly happy.
He took out a box and sent it to her.
Chi Wan was stunned for a moment, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Xie Yutang's smiling face like a spring breeze.
"Why are you here?" Ji Wan asked in surprise, what time is it now, why are you here.
"Come and see you." Xie Yutang didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was obvious, I went to your house before, and I had to come here if I wasn't at home.
Ji Wan laughed, and then lowered her head and did her own thing.
Xie Yutang didn't care either, yes, they were like this when they met.
And he is also self-cooked, and sometimes when someone comes in the evening, he will also help greet guests.
Jinxiu and Tilting have not seen him, but Xiuxiu has seen them.
Tell them that this is a friend of the young lady.
When the two of them heard this, they all went to work obediently.
Xiuxiu wiped the cold sweat on her face, if they knew, Miss and him knew each other before, and there would definitely be some gossip.
In the backyard of the store, Chi Wan and Xie Yutang sat on a stone table drinking tea.
Chi Wan likes to stay here very much, it is very convenient and comfortable to live in her own place, and in Shangshu Mansion, every day is a deception, except for the third aunt, everyone wants to let her die.
"Tired or not?" Xie Yutang didn't wait for Chi Wan to speak this time, he stood up directly and massaged her shoulder.
Chi Wan was a little surprised, but his technique was still very good, and said with a smile: "If you can open a massage shop, you must make a lot of money." ”
"Massage parlor? What is that? Xie Yutang looked confused.
Chi Wan shook her head and said nothing, she forgot that this era is different from hers, and she must pay attention to proportionality when speaking.
Now that she thinks about it, she can't remember how long she's been here.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to come to see you these days, so be careful yourself." Xie Yutang received an order from the emperor to go out to do something, and I am afraid that he will not be able to come back for a while.
"Didn't you leave Zou Qi behind? Do whatever you have to do. Ji Wan closed her eyes and enjoyed it.
When Xie Yutang saw her like this, he worked even harder.
The movements of the hands are moderately soft and hard, they don't hurt, and the strength is enough.
Ji Wan felt more and more that he was suitable to open a massage parlor.
The two chatted for a long time before Xie Yutang left.
The next morning, Chi Wan looked sleepy-eyed, because she chatted with Xie Yutang too late, and as a result, she almost couldn't get up in the morning.
Xiuxiu saw that she was not energetic, and knew that she didn't have a good rest last night.
"Miss, you go and rest, just take care of the slaves and maids here."
Chi Wan shook her head and said, "You go and get busy, you don't have to worry about the things here." ”
Xiuxiu opened her mouth but still didn't speak.
Chi Wan didn't have any energy all morning, and she wasn't a little energetic until Zhao Wanru brought her.
After Zhao Wanru entered the door, she saw Chi Wan's appearance that she hadn't woken up, and couldn't help but be a little funny, and said, "Do you get up very early every day?" ”
Ji Wan had already discovered her and cleaned up her lazy appearance.
"Yes, you're here to buy clothes?" Ji Wan asked.
Zhao Wanru looked at her slightly, and her eyes flashed when she looked at her.
He nodded slightly.
Ji Wan felt a little strange, how could she look at her with such eyes?
Zhao Wanru walked in without waiting for her to speak.
Looking at the room full of clothes, my eyes can't see it.
Each piece is beautiful.
It's no wonder that the daughters of the eunuchs now come here to buy clothes.
It's beautiful indeed.
"If you like it, you can try it." Ji Wan suddenly spoke out in the back.
Zhao Wanru nodded, and went in with a pink dress, while Chi Wan waited outside.
There's no hurry.
If it weren't for her, she would have been finished with the princess before, so it was not impossible that she wanted to give her a set of clothes as a thank you gift.
Zhao Wanru walked out of it, and Chi Wan took a serious look.
is indeed very beautiful, Zhao Wanru is a lady. Any piece of clothing is beautiful to wear on her body.
"That's it." Zhao Wanru said to her maid.
The maid will go to the checkout.
Ji Wan stopped her.
"No, I'll give you this dress."
"What? Give it to me? Zhao Wanru didn't expect this to be the result.
Some were stunned and couldn't react.
"You know if you helped me, this dress will be considered a reward for you." Zhao Wanru knew what her thank-you gift meant.
It's just a trivial matter, and she really doesn't care.
"What is said to be for you is for you." Ji Wan knew that she was a stubborn person and was worried that she would really pay.
Zhao Wanru was embarrassed, this ......
But seeing Chi Wan's firm eyes, he also cared.
"Okay, I'll definitely come back with such beautiful clothes." Zhao Wanru asked the maid to come back.
Even if you accept it.
Chi Wan took Zhao Wanru to the backyard to sit down, Zhao Wanru looked at the stone table under the shade of the tree and smiled slightly: "You are very good at enjoying it, no wonder the princess is so happy by you." ”
"I was also framed by Chi Xia before the princess, and the last time the princess came, I was really worried, I didn't expect it to have such an effect."
Zhao Wanru knew she was referring to clothes.
Isn't it, many people wear such clothes to various banquets nowadays.
The princess will always be the one who first comes into the limelight.
"Chi Wan......" Zhao Wanru suddenly remembered what happened to Mu Zhufeng before.
But Ji Wan didn't seem to know what was going on.
Ji Wan frowned, she was like this when she came in before, her eyes were always flickering, did something happen.
"Miss Zhao, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Chi Wan took a sip of tea, her face calm.
Zhao Wanru turned her head sideways to look at Chi Wan with an indifferent face, and suddenly found that Chi Wan was even more beautiful than before, and she had a different temperament from them, just like a fairy.
They will never be able to compare.
"Do you know about General Mu going to your house to propose marriage?"
Chi Wan's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, her eyes were instantly dyed with anger, and she quickly regained her calm.
He remembered why Mu Zhufeng suddenly came to her before, he must have been to Shangshu Mansion before.
And Chi Fangrui was also very unceremonious to give a dowry.
"I don't know." Chi Wan said very calmly.
Zhao Wanru's eyes were gloomy, and she smiled bitterly: "I liked General Mu very much before, he was heroic, he was a man among men, thinking that he was a general, much stronger than all noble children." ”
Chi Wan didn't speak, and continued to listen to her words, but her heart was already overturned.
I can't wait to rush back now and ask that father who has no conscience.
Why did you marry her off like this?
"Later, I learned that he was going to marry you, so I would trouble you at the banquet, but what I didn't expect was that you would repay my grievances with virtue and save me."
Zhao Wanru looked at Chi Wan after speaking.
Seeing that she was even more calm, I had a little more admiration for her in my heart.
As a woman, she is far inferior to her.
Even the others are better than her.
"It's your duty to save someone's life, you are too worried." Chi Wan said lightly.
Zhao Wanru didn't think so, if it was her, she would definitely not come to save her. Wouldn't it be better to die, so that there is no need to marry General Mu.
"Maybe, but if it were me, I wouldn't have saved you." Zhao Wanru said jokingly.
But Ji Wan knew that she was telling the truth.
If it weren't for Chi Xia splashing dirty water on her, she wouldn't have saved her, she didn't have such noble sentiments.
Zhao Wanru looked at the hour, and she was about to go back if it was not early.
"If you go back, I'm afraid Lord Shangshu will ask you about your family." Zhao Wanru said that it was false not to be heartbroken, no matter how she said it, she was her sweetheart, but she married someone else, who could accept it.
"I will." Ji Wan really wants to go back now.
But she had to be calm, and she would get no answer when she went back to question.
The words of the matchmaker of the parents.
Who can resist.
It was getting dark, and Chi Wan was very upset because of this matter, so she asked Xiuxiu and the others to go back first, she wanted to be quiet alone.
She didn't know why Mu Zhufeng suddenly came to propose marriage, but Chi Fangrui agreed so happily, there was only one possibility, and that was for promotion.
She still remembered that at the banquet, the prince once said that he was very familiar with Mu Zhufeng, that is to say, Ming Mu Zhufeng was his subordinate.
Chi Fangrui chose to marry him at this time, that is, in order to be able to enter the Taiwei faction with the help of Mu Zhufeng, so that in the future, the crown prince will ascend the throne and become the emperor, and he will be the biggest hero.
Gold and silver treasures are inexhaustible.
However, once the power of the crown prince increases, then the balance above the court will definitely be lost, and the emperor's position will be unstable.
At that time, it will be the prince's world, and it is up to the prince to decide when he will ascend the throne.
The emperor's throne will also be shaken.
Wait a minute.
Ji Wan suddenly remembered something
If that's really the case, then the emperor will definitely find someone to weigh the matter.
There will definitely be some shaking in the court.
Will definitely reshuffle.
The more Ji Wan thought about it, the more nervous she became.
Now he is more and more worried that if the crown prince ascends the throne, will the people of this world still have any happiness at all?
It's not that she doesn't like the prince, but it's really not good.
Treacherous and cunning, but also a ruthless person, such a person sits on the world, that is not the same as sending the people to hell.
No, she should have a good talk to Xie Yutang.
There should be more than one son of the emperor.
If the current emperor knew, he would definitely be looking for a prince to compete with the crown prince.
Ji Wan was really a little speechless.
The eldest son was named the crown prince.
The other princes will definitely not be happy, maybe before the emperor speaks, there are already people who share power with the prince.
Chi Wan can only think like this now, she would rather someone else sit on the throne than the crown prince.
Seeing that the people on the street were closing their stalls and preparing to go home, Chi Wan sighed, let's go back first. How could the matter of imperial power be solved by her alone.
