Chapter 23: This little Taoist still wants to calculate me
As the eldest daughter in the Prime Minister's Mansion, not only was she taken away, but she also let an unfavored concubine and a distinguished guest like the Nine Emperors eat at the same table.
It is equivalent to 'slapping' her in public, making her face as the eldest daughter lose all her face, not to mention it, and other people in the prime minister's mansion will speculate and wonder if she has lost the favor of the eldest daughter.
Even Hanyun felt that she was going to turn over soon.
Only Yu Zixuan felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.
Everything came too suddenly today, maybe the old lady had already discussed with Yu Hongcai in private, and planned to push her to the people in the General's Mansion early to win some favor, or to test her, to see how much ability and ability she has, whether she is a good chess piece that can be controlled.
So from the moment she saw Yuhong, she reined in her usual edge in the prime minister's mansion and became a well-behaved and obedient daughter, not wanting to have any more trouble when her wings were not full.
Tonight, Yu Hongcai also seemed to be very satisfied with her performance, and there was a look of approval in his eyes from time to time.
"Miss, the slave maid is going to prepare hot water for you to bathe, by the way, today the third aunt sent someone to send a good piece of new pattern of materials, saying that it was for the young lady to cut clothes, and some jade bracelets and jewelry, the slave and maid have been put on the young lady's dresser."
"Okay." Yu Zixuan bowed slightly, and glanced at the dresser, which had six more mahogany brocade boxes on it.
The box carving is fine, and it is from a famous artist at a glance.
These three aunts have a lot of ability to change the rudder when they see the wind, and their movements are fast enough, and their shots are even more generous.
Who would have thought that an aunt in Xiangfu would be able to come up with such a good thing as a favor?
She picked a few things that were pleasing to the eye and left, and let Hanyun pack up and store the rest.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, the little maid next to Yu Hongcai came to pass the word and asked her to go to the study to talk.
Yu Zixuan finished her breakfast, so she went to the study unhurriedly to say goodbye, but she didn't expect that in addition to Yu Hongcai, Yu Fu was also there.
As soon as they met, they felt Yufu's hatred, and their eyes seemed to be about to eat her alive.
She stood aside as if she was blind, and said softly: "I don't know if the father asked his daughter to come, is there something to order?" β
"Father, I heard your eldest sister say that after you came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, you have done a lot of disproportionate things, what's going on?" Yu Hongcai asked with a serious face.
Yu Zixuan had long expected that Yu Fu's temperament couldn't help it, and she would definitely make a small report.
Sure enough, I was impatient, thinking that in this way I would be able to lose my favor in front of Yu Hongcai, and then be punished?
What a naΓ―ve and foolish idea.
Even if Yu Hongcai left the Prime Minister's Mansion to do errands outside, how could he not know anything about what was happening in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Even if someone he trusts guards the report, the old lady is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Now I specially asked Yufu to come to the study with her, and mentioned these things, which is nothing more than to give an explanation to the long room, and it will not let the backyard 'catch fire' and affect the 'peace' of the Prime Minister's Mansion all along.
If she wants to be a 'good' daughter, she will naturally cooperate to the end, and said with a somewhat aggrieved tone: "My daughter is used to being free outside, and she just returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there are indeed many places where she doesn't know the rules, and she doesn't do it well, which makes the eldest sister angry." β
Yu Fuqi gave her a white look again, she really knew how to pretend.
The ruthless energy of beating people before is hidden!
She thought about it again, and Mama Li reminded her that even if she had to tell her father that Yu Zixuan's was not good, she couldn't be too impatient.
After all, the person who proposed to let Yu Zixuan return to the Prime Minister's Mansion was the eldest lady, and if she targeted it too much, it would cause her father's disgust.
She could only hold back her anger and shook her head with a generous smile.
"It's good that the sixth sister knows what's wrong, my sister just hopes that you can grow up, otherwise if you marry into the General's Mansion, where you don't do well enough, you will be rejected by the people of the General's Mansion, but you will be impressed by the long-term friendship between the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"The eldest sister taught you a lesson."
"Daddy, I think the sixth sister is still sensible and sensible, so there is no need to punish her, but if you don't learn the rules in the Prime Minister's Mansion well, it's better to let Mama Li teach it herself, right?" Yufu stepped forward, grabbed Yu Hongcai's arm and begged: "It's pitiful enough that the sixth sister was sent out before, and my daughter can't bear to see her being disliked by her in-laws in the future." β
Yu Hongcai glanced at Yu Zixuan with a cold expression, this daughter who doesn't have much father-daughter affection, at first glance she is indeed well-behaved and lovely, and she is naturally beautiful, and her appearance is captivating, she is indeed a good chess piece that can be used more.
If you use it properly, you will definitely be able to do a lot of things for him in the future.
Especially the prince has seen so many famous ladies, and he is disdainful, but he is very interested in Yu Zixuan, and he has been in front of him several times, wanting to accept the meaning of Fujin.
If you want to be the prince's side Fujin, you must at least be a concubine, so it can be seen that the prince's love for Yu Zixuan is extraordinary.
However, compared to sending Yu Zixuan to the crown prince, he still felt that it was more valuable to let Yu Zixuan go to the General's Mansion.
Although the northern kingdom has always been the candidate for the emperor, the current emperor is very partial to the Nine Emperors, and almost most of the government and the opposition are biased towards the Nine Emperors, which can be said to be a fight with the crown prince.
He has been in officialdom for decades, and he is more optimistic about the Nine Emperor Princes in his heart.
The Nine Emperors have a close relationship with the General's Mansion, and once the prince knows that Yu Zixuan has become the daughter-in-law of the General's Mansion, then he will definitely find a way to target the General's Mansion.
At that time, he can sit on the profits of the fisherman and watch the two forces fight for a woman.
He patted Yufu's arm and said in a deep voice: "What Fu'er said, your grandmother has already mentioned it, just let Aunt Qin teach it herself." β
"Aunt Qin? Grandmother is old, and only Aunt Qin is relieved by her side, so let Mama Li come. Yufu gritted her teeth, but still refused to give up.
She could see how much her grandmother helped Yu Zixuan before, and it was impossible for her to suffer if she really let Aunt Qin teach her.
She just didn't understand, what was so good about this Yu Zixuan, it was really hateful to be able to coax her grandmother to protect her like this.
"Now your mother is not in good health, and she can't do without Mama Li." Yu Hongcai's tone couldn't help but increase a little.
"Yes, since it is my father's intention, then let the sixth sister follow Aunt Qin to learn the rules." When Yufu saw that his face sank, she didn't dare to say anything.
Yu Hongcai said again: "Next month's birthday banquet in the palace, your six sisters will go together." β
"What?" Yufu was so surprised that she already exhaled softly.
She glanced at her father in front of her in disbelief, even if she wanted to take the concubine in the house, it shouldn't be Yu Zixuan's turn.
Even if she brings her fourth sister Yuyun, she won't be so irritable.
But Yu Hongcai's meaning, that has already been decided, said it is just to inform her, and she can't refute it.
The grievances in my heart were uncomfortably tight, my pursed lips moved, and I finally nodded: "Yes, my daughter will mention the sixth sister more." β
"Very good, this is what the eldest sister should look like, Fu'er has grown up and is much more sensible now, not as arrogant and willful as before."
"Father said this because he felt that the old Fu'er was not good enough." Yufu said angrily.
"It's all good, I like it for my father." Yu Hongcai raised his hand and rubbed her head: "For my father, I still have something to say to your sixth sister, so go back first." β
"Yes." Yufu exited the room, and when she closed the door, she couldn't hide her anger on her face.
Just as two maids walked by, she twisted her backhand at one of them.
The maid was so frightened that she fell to her knees, and she didn't dare to cry out in pain, and trembled.
Yufu was still angry and had no place to vent, so she kicked her several times before walking away without looking back.
In the study, Yuhong sat on the chair, leaned back in the chair, and asked in a fatherly tone: "Xuan'er, I heard Aunt Qin mention that you have suffered a lot of grievances in the house, but Fang Cai didn't mention it, are you afraid that your eldest sister will be reprimanded?" β
Yu Zixuan lowered her eyelids, and a cold color flashed under her eyes.
Sure enough, it was an unfathomable old fox, and now he was testing himself again.
The suspicion is so serious, I'm afraid that in this prime minister's mansion, except for the old lady, he doesn't trust anyone.
She hooked the corners of her lips and said softly: "The eldest sister is also very demanding for the good of her daughter, after all, her daughter is a young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and she must be cautious in her words and deeds so as not to be criticized by outsiders." β
"You are a wise child, and now that your grandmother likes you very much, and has the heart to teach you well, you will move to the orchid garden and live with your grandmother." This is not what Yu Hongcai meant, it is what the old lady meant.
"Yes, my daughter will let someone clean up and move over when she goes back later."
"Well, in two days you will go to a tea party with your father."
"My daughter knows, but I don't know if my father can tell me if the tea party is important, and my daughter should prepare as early as possible so that she won't lose her appearance."
Yuhong saw that she answered every sentence fluently, without losing measure, and nodded approvingly: "The tea party held by the prince, when all the major officials in Kyoto will bring their children to attend, and the general's mansion will also send people to come, it is a good opportunity for you to perform." β
"Yes, that daughter went back to prepare first."
"Go ahead."
Leaving the study, Han Yun greeted her and told her about the fact that he had just seen Yufu tossing the maid.
A sneer escaped from the tip of Yu Zixuan's nose, she had been reduced to finding an innocent minion to vent her anger, it was really ridiculous.
Do you still want Mama Li to teach her the rules?
Wish for the moon.
β¦β¦
In the afternoon of the same day, Han Yun and Le An simply packed up their things and sent them to Lanxiang Garden together.
The old lady did not deliberately arrange Yu Zixuan in a remote location where the winter was cold and the summer was hot, like the long house, but asked Aunt Qin to specially arrange a good room, and you could see the lake scenery when you opened the window.
When Aunt Qin led Yu Zixuan over, she said to her: "The Lanxiang Garden is too big, and there are many vacant courtyards that no one lives in, but they have always let the people clean them. β
"It's not too early today, and when I go to greet my grandmother tomorrow, I'll thank my grandmother for her kindness." Yu Zixuan replied with a smile.
"Well, today's toss, Miss Six is also tired, the meal has been prepared, just pass the meal later, and the old slave will go back first."
