Chapter 12: A Surprising Discovery
When I returned to the room, Ying Hongxian had already gotten out of bed and sat at the table to eat, and the little girl was chattering on the side.
Although things have calmed down for the time being, it seems to be an accident, but Ruoxin always feels that things are not so simple.
Mrs. Xiyuan likes to eat seafood, although seafood is rare in Donghengli, but there are fish, shrimp and crab shells in the meals of Yingning Wangfu. Ruoxin has read the medical records, and remembers that the book mentions that hawthorn and the seafood are mutually restrictive, and if eaten at the same time, it will cause diarrhea and vomiting, although it will not harm people's lives, but it looks terrifying.
Not everyone knows about the contradiction between the two, but what if anyone knows about it and does it on purpose?
What if this time it wasn't an accident, but someone set up a trick for Ying Hongxian to drill?
Jealousy and cruelty to the younger brother is extremely despicable in the eyes of anyone.
The three of them became tigers, even if Ying Hongxian was really innocent, many small things that were not conducive to him accumulated, too many people said it, and it seemed to be true, no matter how white and pure things were, they would be tarnished by those remarks.
If Ying Hongxian loses the favor of King Ying Ning, who is the most profitable?
From ancient times to the present, there are few people who are rich and content, and the more people have a certain status, the greater their desire for power. Whether it is officialdom or the backyard where women compete for favor.
Sitting at the table, looking at the little boy who was holding on to chopsticks and bowing his head to eat quietly, thinking that such a humble and sensible child might be being pulled down the abyss of power step by step, Ruoxin sighed lowly.
Ying Hongke got in front of Ruoxin, Ruoxin reached out and took her to sit on her lap, while smoothing the obedient hair behind Hongxian, after thinking about it, he still said: "Ah Xian, you should pay more attention to your actions in the future, but keep a distraction when you meet people, and you must not believe what others say, and you must not believe it." Think before you act. ”
Ying Hongxian raised his head, his eyes seemed to understand or not, and after a while, he spoke: "Sir, the master once told me that the most important thing is to be honest when you have friendship with others, if you don't have sincerity, how can others treat you sincerely." ”
"Ah Xian, Makoto can only talk about it when there is no conflict of interest, or when both parties have the same heart. You are still young, and my husband can only tell you that not everything in the world is as righteous as you see with your eyes. Just like your father said, you were born in such an environment, revealing your true heart one by one will only give opportunities to those who have the intention to take advantage of it, if you don't know how to protect yourself tactfully, you will lose in the end. ”
Ying Hongxian was silent for a long time before he said: "Then according to Mr. 's words, can't Xian'er even believe Mr.?" ”
Ruoxin smiled: "It's always good to pay a little more attention." ”
Ying Hongxian looked at Ruoxin for a long time, and said in a low voice: "But Xian'er doesn't want to even suspect Mr., so she is on guard." ”
Ruoxin was stunned, then touched his hair with a smile, and asked again, "You made the prince angry again yesterday?" ”
Listening to Ruoxin's question, Ying Hongxian put down the chopsticks in his hand, and the expression on his face was gloomy, "Sir, a while ago, the father brought back another person, do you know?" It's that concubine. ”
"Uh......" She didn't pay attention to King Yingning's private life, and she didn't know if she brought back the newcomer, but she seemed to see that the expressions on the faces of several ladies in the backyard were not as happy as they were a while ago. But that concubine, Ruoxin seems to have a little impression, she has seen it from afar once, I remember that the woman has a bewitching and seductive temperament, a smile, full of romance, I am afraid that the saint is also a little unable to control it, no wonder the merry King Yingning.
"How did you get her?"
Ying Hongxian's handsome little face tightened, with a serious expression like a little adult, "Father has lingered with her since he went south to the Circuit Mansion, and he hasn't been in the morning court for six days. ”
Micro service patrol?
Ruoxin smiled, although it was a little immoral to slander him in front of his children, Ruoxin still couldn't help but say, "I'm afraid your father himself is not happy." ”
"Sir, don't say that about your father." Ying Hongxian was obviously a little embarrassed, "Actually, my father is very good." ”
Looking at Ruoxin's smiling face, Ying Hongxian said emphatically: "Father is amazing. A pair of eyes were shining, full of divine light, he straightened his thin little back, and said skillfully like an endorsement: "Father is now the Zhongshu Order of Dongheng Kingdom, and Uncle Zuohuang is in power, dealing with the important affairs of the court. A month ago, the emperor's uncle also made his father the king of Shangshu Order, taking charge of affairs and commanding hundreds of officials. Not only that, but his father is also the only Prince Ning in Dongheng. ”
Ying Hongxian, who is humble on weekdays, is now also proud, and his childish little face is full of admiration and yearning for his father.
Rubbing Ying Hongxian's head, should he tell him that although his father's official title is very large, he is an empty title, and it seems that he has not really fulfilled those important positions.
In fact, in Ruoxin's heart, King Ying Ning is indeed a good woman and a prince who is greedy for pleasure. Cats are not afraid of fish, and King Ying Ning is only afraid that the more women, the better. What people see is different. It is not surprising that the children worship their father, Ruoxin did not say anything more to fight Ying Hongxian, who worshiped his father, so he nodded and said, "In this way, King Ying Ning is really amazing. ”
"Yes, it's just that my father was temporarily confused by that woman." Speaking of this, Ying Hongxian lowered his head again, "That's why Xian'er couldn't help but remind his father yesterday, hoping that his father can stay away from adulterous ......"
"Brother did the right thing." Ying Hongke also muttered in Ruoxin's arms: "Hmph, Ah Ruan doesn't like her either, vixen." ”
Ruoxin laughed out loud and nodded her pouting mouth, "Little ghost spirit, where did you hear this?" Do you know what a vixen is at a young age? ”
"A few days ago, when Ah Soft was playing in the garden, I heard a few aunts talking, and Ah Soft heard it." Ying Hongke raised his head and complained to Ruoxin, the expression on his face was very dissatisfied, "It's all that fox spirit, and now my father rarely comes to see Ah Soft and my brother." ”
Ruoxin smiled and said, "King Yingning is your father, but he is also a prince, and the environment in which he has lived since he was a child, people have groveled to him and made promises. You bluntly said that his mistakes not only violated the majesty of his prince, but also made him lose his father's face. People will also say that the matter in the father's backyard will not allow the son to point fingers. ”
"But how can I see that woman so flattering to my father?" Ying Hongxian straightened his waist, and his small face was full of righteousness.
Ruoxin smiled, and then said slowly: "Ah Xian, it's not that you turn a blind eye, it's just that the ancients have a saying, and those who are not tricky will doom." You are in the royal family, and you should know how to entrust the snake to the strange arts. In history, those direct ministers who dare to violate the strict face of the lord and speak the mistakes of the lord, unless the monarch is sage, otherwise, most of them will not have a very good end. Instead of losing the original purpose because of ignorance and straightforwardness, it is better to learn from the advantages of traitors and slanderers, and achieve their goals by tactful means. ”
Judging from the current situation, King Ying Ning still seems to like sweet-mouthed children, with Ying Hongxian's personality, and a few more indiscriminate collisions, I am afraid that no one will set up a trick, and Ying Hongxian will push himself farther and farther.
Looking at Ying Hong's inquiring and surprised eyes, Ruoxin knew that her remarks were contrary to the orthodox education he received on weekdays, so she covered her mouth and coughed, and continued: "There have been many traitors and slanderers in history who have tilted their power into the government and the opposition, turning clouds and rain. In addition to those insidious and dirty methods in private, but we cannot deny their resourcefulness, wisdom is enough to disguise wrong, argument is enough to act, and it is also a talent, if you can absorb their ability, it can not only make people happy, but also make him adopt and accept your opinion, isn't it better than annoying the other party, but still achieving nothing? ”
Ruoxin said something different from what he listened to the master of Guozijian on weekdays, Ying Hongxian's eyes widened.
The master taught him to be upright, but the master told him that he could be treacherous and tactful in dealing with the world; The master often taught him to dare to make mistakes and speak straightforwardly, but the gentleman said that he could learn from traitors and slanderers; The master said that since ancient times, people with lofty ideals killed themselves to become benevolent, sacrificing their lives to take righteousness, but Mr. once told him to endure the anger for a while, rather than die before the thing is done, it is better to stay in the green mountains and become his day.
Ying Hongxian was slightly confused, frowned two delicate eyebrows, and felt that Mr.'s words were also reasonable, and finally nodded as if he didn't understand.
"Don't be in a hurry." Ruoxin smiled lightly: "It's still a long time, you will understand it slowly in the future." ”
Outside the closed door, Qingyun stood thoughtfully for a while, then quietly left, heading towards Qinxin Garden, where King Yingning lived.
......
The night is as light as water, and the moon is as silver as silver.
It was past midnight, Ruoxin changed into a night suit, left the room that the backyard housekeeper had allocated to her, and sneaked into tonight's destination.
In the dead of night, there were occasional night guard guards walking through the corridor, but because of the strict guard outside the palace of King Yingning, the guards patrolling the palace were more or less relaxed.
Ruoxin avoided the guards of the night watch and came to the West Garden.
The West Garden is the only one in Yingning Palace, which has not been renovated, with a total of eight courtyards, and the Sorrowful Mirror Pavilion is the most secluded one.
The name of the sad mirror Xuan was started by the first emperor, this Xuan never stayed in any wife and concubine, according to legend, he left for mourning a concubine, but I don't know who is sad, and who I want to see from the mirror. Because of its tragic name, after King Yingning moved in, he didn't move in anyone, until King Yingning's former concubine Xie Huaiyun was left out in the cold, and he was ordered to move here from Beiyuan.
Not only is the sad mirror Xuan Xiaosuo, but the entire Xiyuan is deserted, and the concubines who have fallen out of favor are all living there. People rarely come here.
Ruoxin searched in the study of Sorrowful Mirror Xuan for nearly half an hour, but she didn't find the Soul Suppression Stone, but she saw something that surprised her.
She found a seal in an inconspicuous dark grid, a simple black jade, with a strong atmosphere, and a smooth and unreal appearance, what surprised Ruoxin was the name on the seal - Yu Xinning.
