"Rebel, when did you take refuge in the prince!" As soon as Jingbei Hou stepped into the door, the first thing he said was to roar angrily.

Facing the angry Jingbei Hou, Huo Sijin was still calm and light, and replied lightly, "What does my father mean by this, Changjin doesn't understand." ”

Jingbei Hou was full of anger, pointed at Huo Sijin's nose and scolded: "Don't pretend to be stupid in front of Benhou, you first saved the prince, and now you have become the chief of the East Palace, should you be blind to your father?" When did you take refuge in the prince, say! ”

Huo Sijin may have been an accident when he saved the crown prince Chu Zheng in the hunting ground, but the holy decree of this appointment was not an accident.

Marquis Jingbei was shocked into a cold sweat, if it weren't for today's holy decree, he wouldn't know when Huo Sijin had dealings with the prince. Although he doesn't value this "son", Huo Sijin is the only concubine of the Jingbei Hou Mansion after all, she took refuge in the prince, what will outsiders think of their position in the Jingbei Hou Mansion? How much did Huo Sijin say to the crown prince Chu Zheng about the secrets of the Jingbei Hou Mansion?

and so on, and this series of questions all came to Jingbei Hou's mind......

"Father was too worried. Didn't my father know very well why I was in the hunting grounds? ”

Huo Sijin hooked her lips and chuckled, the reason why she happened to appear in the hunting ground and saved the crown prince Chu Zheng was an accident from an outsider's point of view.

"As for the East Palace Changshi...... Huo Sijin looked calm and blinked his apricot eyes, "This is Your Majesty's will, Changjin doesn't know." ”

It is impossible for the Marquis of Hengzhu Jingbei to ask the emperor why he appointed Huo Sijin as the chief historian of the East Palace.

"You ......" Jingbei Hou was exhausted, "You think you can send Ben Hou away in a few words, let me tell you, Huo Changjin, you are from Jingbei Hou's Mansion, you don't want to take refuge in the prince." ”

Huo Sijin's eyes rose slightly, as if he had doubts, "Father, what do you mean by this?" The holy decree was issued by His Majesty, could it be that my father wanted to resist the decree of Changjin? Resisting the decree is a big crime, and the entire Jingbei Hou Mansion will be implicated. ”

Without waiting for the Jingbei Hou Mansion to speak, Huo Sijin immediately said: "Besides, even if Changjin becomes the chief of the East Palace and becomes the staff of His Royal Highness the Prince, there is nothing wrong with it, His Royal Highness the Prince is the prince of a country, Changjin follows the prince, and he will be able to shine on the lintel in the future, isn't this a good thing for the Hou Mansion?" ”

Chu Zheng is the rightful heir to the throne, if there is no Chu Li, it is naturally a good thing to follow the crown prince.

"Nonsense!" Jingbei Hou was furious, "It still shines on the lintel, do you think it ......"

The latter words were a disaster, and the Marquis of Jingbei immediately lowered his voice, "How can the succession to the throne be so smooth, you are also a person who has read history books, and I see that several princes have successfully ascended the throne." ”

It is true that in the previous dynasties, the change of the throne was all bloody, and the crown prince may not be the last person to sit on the dragon chair.

"Father, I can't say that." Huo Sijin hurriedly covered his mouth, showing horror on his face.

The affairs of the royal family, especially the change of the throne, such words are not something that can be said casually.

Huo Sijin lowered his voice, "Father, you can't talk nonsense if you have something, who can inherit the throne is up to Your Majesty, not for those of us who are courtiers to decide." ”

Hearing this, the Marquis of Jingbei frowned, looking at Huo Sijin's expression and the tone of his speech, it was clear that he wanted to be a pure minister and only do his duty.

Huo Sijin can be a pure minister, but there is only one son in Jingbei Houfu, and Zhou's birth is not male or female, if Zhou's birth is a daughter, then the family business of Jingbei Houfu can only be inherited by Huo Sijin in the future.

Jingbei Hou fell into deep thought, although this son is not his liking, but this son has a high chance of being the heir of Jingbei Houfu, if he is left alone, it will inevitably ruin his plan in the future......

After a while, the Marquis of Jingbei raised his head and said: "Changjin, our Huo family is indeed a courtier, but there are many kinds of courtiers, some courtiers have no power and power, and they have to look at people's faces everywhere, and they are inferior." And some courtiers are in power, and others still have the share of looking at his face, such as the Chengenhou Mansion. Changjin, do you want to do the first type, or the second type? ”

"Changjin naturally doesn't want to look at people's faces everywhere."

Huo Sijin said in her heart, it was precisely because she didn't want to look at people's faces everywhere that she wanted to take refuge in the prince.

Jingbei Hou nodded, "My son really has the heart to be motivated." ”

Listening to the comfort of old nostalgia in his tone, Huo Sijin wanted to laugh in his heart. Imagine if when the dust settled, she told Jingbei Hou that she was the advisor of Prince Chu Zheng from the beginning, I don't know what tone Jingbei Hou would use to speak at that time?

Unconsciously imagining the future scene in her mind, Huo Sijin suddenly had some expectations in her heart, and she was looking forward to the arrival of that time.

"Changjin, although the crown prince is a legitimate prince, but if he succeeds to the throne in the future, you may not be able to get the first credit, but the third prince is different, he is your aunt's son, and he has the blood of our Huo family in his body, if he is ......"

Marquis Jingbei didn't dare to blatantly say the words of Chu Li's succession, he paused, and glanced at Huo Sijin, "Changjin, think about it carefully, who is the next emperor in the end, which is more beneficial to our Huo family?" ”

Huo Sijin's eyes were stunned, "This ......" She was stunned and speechless.

The Marquis of Jingbei was in a hurry, and he didn't wait for her to speak, and said bluntly: "Changjin, the third prince is your cousin, since you have entered the officialdom, help your cousin, and your benefits will be indispensable in the future." ”

Huo Sijin's eyes drooped slightly, and her long and thick eyelashes covered her eyes, so Jingbei Hou didn't see the sarcasm in her eyes. Her benefits are indispensable, yes, so in her previous life, Chu Li gave her a bowl of poison, and then buried her beautifully.

Help a bunch of Chu Li? How can it help?

Jingbei Hou wants to use her identity as the chief of the East Palace to make a fuss, she is Chu Zheng's staff, and she will definitely come into contact with many things in the East Palace, Jingbei Hou wants to provide information to Chu Li to help him succeed.

"Changjin, you should understand what your father means, right?" The Marquis of Jingbei meant something.

Huo Sijin pinched her palm tightly, her nails entered the flesh, the pain came from her palm, her heart was horizontal, and she said in a low voice: "Changjin tried her best to ......"

She is not Prime Minister Huo Changjin now, she is only the chief of the East Palace, and the crown prince Chu Zheng may not fully trust her, and now she has no ability to fight against Chu Li and the Jingbei Hou Mansion, so she has to be with the snake for a while.

Just bear with me, the opportunity will come soon......

Huo Sijin's "twisting and pinching" appearance made Jingbei Hou feel a lot more at ease, he had never told Huo Sijin about supporting Chu Li, Huo Sijin and Chu Li had never had any dealings, if she agreed immediately, Jingbei Hou would not be at ease.

With the word "do your best", Jingbei Hou was relieved, and left without saying anything.

Mama Xi happened to bring tea over, listened to the conversation between Jingbeihou and Huo Sijin, and when she saw Jingbeihou leaving, she hurriedly said: "Young master, should you really do what the master said?" ”

Be Chu Li's eyes and ears and deliver news to him, if it is discovered, what will happen to Huo Sijin?

Mama Xi's face turned pale, and she almost didn't dare to imagine it.

Huo Sijin sneered, "Of course I won't, he wants to support Chu Li, that's his business, what does it have to do with me." It's also that my foundation is still shallow, and I still need to perfunctory him. Be Chu Li's eyes and ears? Think beautifully! ”

"Young master, I'm afraid that Master Hou is not a person who is easy to fool." Xi Mama frowned, the holy decree had just come down at this time, Huo Sijin hadn't even entered the door of the East Palace, and he could still say a few perfunctory words, but what about the future?

It can't always be a perfunctory, suspicious person in Jingbei Hou.

Huo Sijin nodded, "Mama reminds me that I really can't keep fooling around like this, I have to find something to do for my good father, and I can't let him keep an eye on me." ”

"Mama, have you ever met Huan'er these days?" Huo Sijin asked.

Mama Xi replied: "I have met it, and I have met it several times, in the corridor between Qingzhi Garden and Moyun Pavilion. ”

As she expected, Huo Sijin smiled with satisfaction, "What did she say?" ”

Mama Xi thought for a while, "I didn't say anything, I just met and said hello, and I just said some words of thanks to the young master." Young Master, you told me not to be nice to her, so I didn't say much to her. ”

The corners of Huo Sijin's lips raised slightly, "After hanging the ring for so long, it's time to give her more sweetness." Mama can take more care of her on weekdays, especially when she is bullied. ”

Mama Xi was originally a shrewd person, and immediately understood what Huo Sijin meant, "Young Master, is this trying to win over Huan'er?" ”

"It's not about wooing, it's just to help her grow faster." Huo Sijin smiled lightly, if it was according to the trajectory of her previous life, it would be too slow, and she couldn't wait, so she had to pull the ring to make the Jingbei Hou Mansion lively as soon as possible.

Jingbei Houfu was annoyed, and Jingbei Hou's energy was naturally scattered, so there was no need to stare at her every day, and she could also spend less effort and be false with him.

In the next few days, Mama Xi really took good care of Huan'er, Huan'er was a rough maid in the house, with a low status and was always bullied, and at this time Mama Xi stepped forward and saved her in time. Huan'er is grateful for this, and on weekdays, whenever she meets Mama Xi, she is even more respectful and grateful.

On this day, when Huan'er was thanking Mama Xi, Huo Sijin happened to walk by.

"Mama Xi, what's the matter?" Huo Sijin stepped forward curiously.

Mama Xi took Huan'er's hand and replied with a smile: "Young master, this is Huan'er, I went to the big kitchen a few days ago, and I happened to see her being bullied, I saw that she was pitiful, so I helped a few words, this girl has been remembering, is thanking me, and said that she wants to repay me." ”

"Huan'er?" Huo Sijin looked at her, nodded and smiled, "It's a person who understands Entu Bao." ”
