Chapter 142: Scheming
A hint of cunning flashed in He Yuan's eyes, and at this time, she was no different from a cunning fox in Su Yang's eyes.
But looking at the world, there are very few animals that can be as smart as foxes, so when their lives are in danger, only foxes can protect themselves from death, which is the ability of foxes.
What Su Yang needs most at the moment is such a character to help her solve her predicament.
"This matter is left to you, this palace is naturally relieved, but you must remember not to hurt Gao Gongzi. ”
Even if Gao Qixuan brought her the current predicament, Su Yang still couldn't be ruthless to him, after all, carefully speaking, everything was not his fault.
"Yes, slave and maid obey. ”
After He Yuan finished speaking, he hurriedly retreated.
Leaving the Moon Shadow Palace, she came to the outside of the imperial study and found Xianglan who was on duty.
"Sister Xianglan. ”
She stepped forward to give a blessing.
Xianglan turned around when she heard the sound, only to see that it was He Yuan, who was beside Su Yang, and greeted her with a smile: "Why is the girl here?"
He Yuan shook his head, reached out and grabbed her white and tender little hand, and stroked it gently: "No, I came to you myself." ”
As she spoke, she glanced at the closed door, quietly leaned into her ear, and whispered: "Now the emperor has no orders, why don't we go to the imperial garden together?"
"Yes...... Later, the emperor couldn't find anyone when he was done, but he had to blame. ”
Xianglan also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to go out and relax secretly, but after thinking about it carefully, with Murong Jue's character, she was afraid that she was going to blame her, He Yuan could see her concerns, so she smiled and said: "You are stupid, it will be time to change shifts in a few hours, and now you are the palace maid in front of the emperor, and the person who replaced you will come earlier, and she doesn't dare to say anything." ”
He Yuan's method is indeed good, but when Xianglan first entered the palace, the foundation was unstable, and if he did such a powerful thing again, he would be afraid of being looked down upon, and when the time came, he would really not be able to gain a foothold in the palace.
"This ...... Forget it, since we are in the same harem, it will be the same to go back in a while. ”
"Sister just promise me!"
He Yuan took her hand and lied coquettishly, which made Xianglan hesitate.
"Sister, don't worry, if anyone dares to bully you, I will definitely teach her a hard lesson for you!"
Seeing He Yuan say this, Xianglan couldn't refuse, so she could only nod and agree, found the palace maid who took over her class, came here in advance to guard, and then followed Xianglan to the imperial garden.
Although the palace on the outskirts of Beijing is the place where the emperor took refuge in the summer before, and it is the place where the Empress Dowager lives again, and it is very extravagant and pleasant after renovation, but in the final analysis, it is still inferior to the palace, such as the scenery of the imperial garden Qianli Pond, the palace can never be compared, and it cannot be copied.
The two walked across the bridge, came to the pavilion in the center of the lake, sat on the railing, and looked at the koi playing happily in the lake, and couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
"Sister, look at this fish, how happy. ”
"Yes, sometimes I envy these fish, who can play merrily and have nothing to think about. ”
Xianglan looked at the pond fish, and couldn't help sighing, born in a poor family, she couldn't help herself, she was adopted by the Empress Dowager Zhen, and she was a personal maid for more than ten years.
"Actually, my sister has a chance, doesn't she?"
As soon as He Yuan's words came out, Xianglan couldn't help but feel puzzled, and looked up at her, her eyes full of puzzlement.
"My sister heard that the emperor promised my sister to find a good marriage for my sister, but is it true?"
Xianglan didn't think much about it when she heard her question, and nodded.
"It's just that this marriage is a big deal, how can it be said that it will be decided? I am here, it can be said that I am not familiar with the place, and I don't know anyone, and I can only stay in the palace for a while. ”
"It's been a few days since my sister entered the palace, and during this time, the ministers in the imperial study have come and gone, and my sister hasn't taken a fancy to it?"
Xianglan shook her head.
On weekdays, she is just a palace servant, where did she have the courage to look directly at these ministers? What's more, now that most of the ministers in the court are old ministers, although she is a palace maid, she is also in her prime, how can she be committed to a man who can be her grandfather?
"But I think that the county magistrate who came today is very promising. ”
Xianglan couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard He Yuan mention the man who entered the palace today, "Did my sister know him?"
"I'm not, but my mother is. ”
He Yuan's tone was very strange, which made Xianglan a little confused: "Your mother and he are old acquaintances, what does this have to do with me?"
"Our mother said, this son is a promising person, sister, do you want to consider him?"
As soon as He Yuan's words came out, Xianglan couldn't help laughing, he looked at He Yuan's serious look, and shook his head: "Sister, you are still too young, the son is now just a county order, and he can get the favor of the emperor, it can be seen that he is indeed very favored by the emperor, but this is also a disadvantage, now the court is full of old ministers of the previous dynasty, and such a young person is favored by the emperor, which is equivalent to turning himself into a live target." ”
As soon as Xianglan's words came out, He Yuan knew that his thoughts were in vain, but Xianglan's next words made He Yuan see a glimmer of hope again.
"However, if Niangniang wants me to marry Gao Gongzi, I will also agree. ”
He Yuan felt very strange after hearing this, and couldn't help but slander: What does Niangniang think, what does it have to do with whether he agrees or not?
"You don't have to be surprised, I can't help myself all my life, Niangniang is my savior, I will definitely help him, so as long as Niangniang speaks, I will definitely do it. ”
Xianglan's words made He Yuan couldn't help but be impressed by him, since he said so, she didn't continue to detour around the corner, and directly expressed her thoughts about coming this time: "Actually, this Gao Gongzi and Niangniang are old acquaintances, and they also have some thoughts about Niangniang, you also know, the emperor is very good to Niangniang, and Niangniang naturally does not have this person in her heart, but if the emperor knows these things, I am afraid that there will be an estrangement with Niangniang, so I ......"
"So you want me to marry him so as to dispel the emperor's doubts about Niangniang, right?"
Xianglan is also a smart person, the so-called Three Treasures Hall has nothing to do, and when she saw He Yuan coming to visit, she guessed her thoughts.
"My sister is a smart person, my sister won't go around the bend with you, just say yes or no. ”
"I'll agree, of course, but I can't just put it up and say I'm going to marry him, right? ”
Xianglan's concerns are also reasonable, after all, as a woman, she still needs to be reserved, otherwise she will be looked down upon by her husband even if she marries.
