Chapter 44: The Test of the Art of War
"Could it be that Madame is just coaxing me? Or does the lady think that her husband can't protect you? ”
Sheng Zi'an listened to his words, vaguely grasped the tail of a little thing, she was also willing to say something straightforwardly, not sloppy, so she asked: "His Royal Highness the Prince is talking about, the matter of Princess Guide?" ’
"Pretend to be confused!" Xiao Jue was really in a weird mood, but he suddenly laughed when he saw Sheng Zi'an.
"The courtiers thought something was going on! Your Royal Highness, you misunderstood...."Sheng Zi'an poured a cup of tea for His Royal Highness the Prince with his own hands, and pushed it to Xiao Jue's side, smiling.
"Your Royal Highness, drink some herbal tea, dissipate your anger, and slowly listen to the courtier's explanation to you."
Xiao Jue was as good as a stream, really picked up the teacup, drank half a cup of flower tea specially brewed for women, summer heat, and continued to stare at Sheng Zi'an: "I'm done drinking, Madame can start explaining." ’
Sheng Zi'an sighed, and his tone was very light: "His Royal Highness, the courtiers really didn't regard Princess Guide's matter as a great matter. ”
Xiao Jue suddenly understood poorly, Princess Guide was rushing, but the little woman in front of her showed that she didn't care at all, was she really taken away the marriage contract by Princess Guide, and she didn't care?
So what's the use of paying for so long?
Isn't there a little bit of impressing her?
His Royal Highness the Prince has been cold-hearted and cold-hearted for so many years, and it is rare to meet a woman who agrees with her heart, for so long, she thinks she is considerate and careful, but she is so ignored, and the emotions in her heart are even greater.
As soon as Sheng Zi'an saw his reaction, he knew that he had misunderstood, and continued to explain.
"His Royal Highness listened to the courtiers slowly, outsiders don't know, but the emperor and the queen mother all know that His Royal Highness is embarrassed, so Princess Guide is the only youngest daughter of Princess Anyang, no matter what, they don't want Princess Guide to get involved in this matter."
"If the courtiers didn't guess wrong, Princess Guide is so favored, but she left Beijing a few years ago and went to the fief with Princess Anyang, which also has something to do with this matter, right?"
Xiao Jue didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.
"When Princess Guide came back this time, she first came to the courtiers to make a big fuss, but then she used this way, to be honest, the courtiers didn't think that she could change anything, how could the emperor's golden mouth be easily changed?"
"It's just that Princess Guide is favored, and the Queen Mother allows her to be willful."
"If Princess Guide really caused harm to her courtiers, even if His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't say it, I can't sit still, and I can't wait to sue immediately!"
"At this time, the emperor and the queen mother must be staring at what the courtiers are doing, if it is a little thing, the courtiers will be known to everyone, so it seems that the courtiers are not worthy of you!"
When Sheng Zi'an was coquettish, she also looked bright and natural, without those pretentious postures.
Xiao is by no means an unreasonable person, and after listening to her, he also knows that he is reasonable. But more or less, that feeling of uselessness still made him strain.
"Okay, Your Royal Highness, don't be so stingy...."Sheng Zi'an reached out and pulled the corner of his clothes.
Xiao Jue had never seen such a smart woman, but she was not easy to deal with, and as soon as she pulled her, she let go.
"Madame is eloquent, and she is willing to bow down for her husband."
"His Royal Highness said this." Sheng Zi'an pretended to be displeased: "Does His Royal Highness think that the courtiers are the kind of soft persimmons that are allowed to be tribulated?" ”
Naturally not, Xiao Jue replied in his heart.
"Princess Guide dares to worry about the courtiers, and the courtiers are not willing to give up! Otherwise, in the future, will everyone remember it? Sheng Zi'an had a grudge face.
"To put it mildly, even if Princess Guide doesn't come to trouble the courtiers, the courtiers still want to meet this Princess Guide!"
These few words successfully made Xiao Jue laugh, his eyes were full of smiles, and his beautiful eyes looked at Sheng Zi'an with a good mistake.
"Madame is so ambitious, and she thinks it makes sense for her husband!"
What Sheng Zi'an said can be regarded as what she said in her heart, she was simply and clear-hearted, but because of the experience in her previous life, she was a little more restrained.
Who knows, it just showed his heart, but it amused His Royal Highness.
"Madame, you have to take a good look at your husband, don't let people steal it...."Xiao Jue's hand, which has always been distinct, rubbed Sheng Zi'an's head twice, and his hair was soft and cold.
"Your Royal Highness, rest assured, the courtiers have their own way..."Sheng Zi'an saluted playfully.
Xiao Jue hummed angrily when he entered the door, and when he went out, he was coaxed by his little lady to be refreshed, and the little guy on the side was speechless.
His Royal Highness has always been thoughtful, and his joy and anger are invisible, and the princess is really capable.....
His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has not been in a good mood today.
Sheng Zi'an is really not bragging, how can he be a modern person, how can he not compare to an ancient little girl, and the current women don't read much.
On the day he entered the palace, Sheng Shangshu gave up his carriage to go to the court, looked at the back of the carriage leaving, and felt half cold in his heart.
The palace is majestic, Sheng Zi'an is the first time to enter, the red walls and green tiles, the palace walls are magnificent and strict.
Sheng Zi'an was directly led to a side hall next to the Queen Mother's bedroom.
There is the courtyard in the palace before Princess Anyang got married.
As soon as she entered the house, Princess Guide was already sitting in the hall, and there were several women around her who looked not young.
"The courtiers have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess..."Sheng Zi'an saluted in a proper manner, her eyes were not messy, and she looked very steady.
Princess Guide didn't call Sheng Zi'an to get up for a long time, Sheng Zi'an was not annoyed, knelt there quietly, and then saw several women sitting there, their expressions were a little strange.
Princess Guide obviously noticed it, so she casually let Sheng Zi'an get up.
"Sheng Zi'an, do you know what the princess called you into the palace for today?"
"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the courtiers don't know." Sheng Zi'an didn't have the-for-tat that day, and spoke very respectfully, so that Princess Guide couldn't grasp the mistakes.
"If you don't know, you dare to come, are you quite bold..."Princess Guide said nonchalantly.
"The princess summoned the courtiers into the palace, how dare the courtiers disobey?" Sheng Zi'an replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"You!" Princess Guide wanted to get angry, but she looked at the ladies on the side, but she still held back.
"Do you know that this princess and my brother have grown up together since childhood, and my brother treats me very well, but I didn't expect that as soon as this princess comes back, my brother will get married, but this is a candidate for marriage, and this princess will help my brother to test it well."
After she said this, she was like a big rooster who had won a battle: 'The imperial uncle and the imperial grandmother also agreed, this princess has prepared three rounds of exam questions for you, if you fail one of the exams, you should honestly stay away from your brother, otherwise this princess will want you to look good!' ’
"Whether or not to leave His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is not something that the courtiers can decide, everything depends on the emperor's will."
"But since the queen mother and the emperor both pity the princess for her hard work, and the courtiers are willing to accept such a test, I wonder what Her Royal Highness the princess is ready to test the courtiers?"
Princess Guide didn't expect Sheng Zi'an to agree so simply, she thought that Sheng Zi'an would shirk in every possible way, and after she humiliated her, she was disgraced.
Now you can see what you do.
"Do you know these ladies?
"The courtiers don't know."
"I think I've never seen a lonely person like you, these are all my general's wife!"
"This is General Yang's wife!"
A woman in a crimson command dress stood up and nodded to Sheng Zi'an.
Sheng Zi'an has really heard of this lady, this lady is a typical example of a woman who does not let her eyebrows, when the emperor was on the throne, the frontier was unstable, and the war situation was frequent, she went to the battlefield with General Yang.
When General Yang's life and death were unknown, he led the Yang family's army, broke the enemy army, and left his name in history.
"Princess Ben, today, I will test your art of war!" Princess Guide said proudly.
Sheng Zi'an raised his eyebrows, and he was crooked, he used to be a war doctor, and he was quite familiar with these things, but he didn't know what the difference was in this cold weapon battle.
"Uncle Yuwang is in Shudi, not far from the border, if Brother Jue really goes to the battlefield in the future, how can you not understand the art of war at all?" Princess Guide laughed viciously and forcefully said.
Sheng Zi'an nodded calmly: "The courtiers feel that what Her Royal Highness the princess said makes sense, although the courtiers have not been in contact with it, but they are willing to try, I don't know if this Mrs. Yang is the problem?" ”
At this time, even General Yang's wife looked at Sheng Zi'an with some strange eyes.
She entered the palace at the behest of the Queen Mother, no matter how Her Royal Highness the princess tossed, it was not something she could care about.
So she nodded: "It's the courtier's wife who made the question, and I ask Miss Sheng to listen clearly." ”
"Madame, please."
"Our Korean army encountered the enemy army in Shudi, the enemy army is 70,000, and our army is only 30,000 soldiers, this confrontation, may I ask Miss Sheng, what is the way to try your best, and the best chance of winning?"
Sheng Zi'an didn't expect that it was actually a practical topic, so he frowned and thought about it.
Seeing her pondering, Princess Guide thought that Sheng Zi'an Qian's donkey skills were poor, and she was just pretending, so she sarcastically said: "If you don't know, you don't know, admit it as soon as possible, and get out of the way of Brother Jue, so as not to waste Princess Ben's time here!" ’
Sheng Zi'an ignored her and grasped a key point.
In the title just now, the region of "Shudi" was deliberately emphasized.
When Xiao Jue was chatting with Sheng Zi'an, he would more or less talk about the situation in Shudi, Sheng Zi'an felt that he had grasped the reason for the matter, and asked.
"Dare to ask Mrs. Yang, when is this campaign?"
Mrs. Yang didn't expect her to ask a question, she was a little surprised, and smiled: "July." ’
"But on the north side of Shudi?"
"Yes." General Yang's wife was even more surprised, and her face showed interest.
"Enemy troops can camp near the woods?"
"Yes, it's easy to hide."
After Sheng Zi'an heard what she said, a smile appeared on her face......
