"Please also rest assured that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will go to the mountains to cultivate for a period of time at this time of year, and I am afraid that she will not return to the house until the end of the year." Xinzhi continued, "Now the servants in the house are all henchmen, and the slaves and maids have already told the steward, so they will definitely not be able to make a mistake." ”

"I know that you have always been the most meticulous, and you must be afraid that I will be involved in the battle between the imperial concubine and the second lady of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion." The Lord of Liuyun County paused, and said, "Don't worry, the reason why Xiao Er placed the Bixue girl next to the general in our eldest princess's mansion is because there is no safer place in the entire imperial capital than the princess's mansion, and the other is because Bixue is the general's confidant, and I just took in Bixue in front of the general, and I will not interfere in the battle between them and the imperial concubine." ”

"What is the relationship between the prince and the county lord, he will not put the county lord and our entire eldest princess mansion in danger and ignore it." Although Xinzhi is not as impatient as Mu Feng, he knows the affection of the Liuyun County Lord for Shangguan Hanyue, and now seeing Ning Zhixuan and Shangguan Hanyue walking so close, his heart is naturally a little unhappy, "County Lord, Xinzhi knows your intentions for the prince, and I don't object to you helping the prince protect the people he cares about, but the slave maid just can't get used to that Miss Ning Er getting your favor, and she has to compete with you for the prince, she has only known the prince for more than a year, But the county lord has been supporting each other with the prince for many years, why should she compete with the county lord for the prince! ”

When the lord of Liuyun saw that Xinzhi, who had always known how to be measured, told the truth for the first time, he knew that these words must have been held in her heart for a long time, and he didn't annoy her at the moment, but smiled at her and said: "You have been holding these words in your heart for a long time, I know that you and Mu Feng are both dedicated to protecting me, which will make Miss Ning Er hostile, but after all, she is the person that Xiao Er cares about, Xiao Er rarely asks me for anything, only Miss Ning Er is the person he cares about, and I naturally want to fulfill his wish." ”

"The prince is bent on maintaining Miss Ning Er of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, and the county lord is bent on fulfilling the prince's wishes." Xinzhi felt aggrieved for the county lord of Liuyun in his heart, "Then who will fulfill the county lord's heart, and who will feel sorry for the county lord?" ”

"Xinzhi, born in the eldest princess's mansion, as the only daughter of the eldest princess's mansion, since I was born, I have been destined to be different from other boudoir women." Lord Liuyun's eyes dimmed for a moment, and then brightened up again, "Since I was born, I have been carrying my mother's hope and the honor and disgrace of the entire eldest princess's mansion, this is my fate, and no one can bear it for me." ”

"County Lord, those people outside are envious of your noble background, and envy that you can be born in the Eldest Princess's Mansion of Emperor En's eternal life." The more Xin Zhi spoke, the more aggrieved he became, and there were already tears in his eyes, "But how do those people know the bitterness in your heart, the county lord, Xin Zhi has always been by your side, since you returned to Beijing from the north, Xin Zhi has never seen you show a sincere smile on your face." ”

Seeing that Xinzhi was more and more aggrieved the more he talked, the Lord of Liuyun County wanted to stop her, but was interrupted by Xinzhi kneeling on the ground and knocking his head hard.

Xinzhi knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Liuyun County Lord in front of him and said: "County Lord, since you returned to Beijing from the north, Xinzhi has never seen a smile on your face, if it weren't for the fact that you met the prince later, if it weren't for Xinzhi personally watching you and the prince support each other through the most difficult years of life, the slave would really think that the county lord's life can no longer tolerate a little joy except for the honor and disgrace of the family." ”

"Xinzhi ......"

"County Lord, please let Xinzhi finish speaking, if you anger the county lord because of this, Xinzhi is willing to bear all punishments." For the first time, Xin Zhi disobeyed the meaning of the Liuyun County Lord, and continued Fang Cai's words, "County Lord, Xin Zhi knows that you are not those women with small bellies and chicken intestines in the imperial capital, and you only know that you are jealous all day long in order to snatch your husband's favor, even if you know that Miss Ning Er has robbed the prince, you will not fight with her." Xinzhi had already kneeled to the Liuyun county lord as he spoke, pulled her skirt and said: "If the county lord does not return to the imperial capital, if the county lord does not meet the prince, if the county lord can really get what he wants, follow the ancients Mulan to protect the family and defend the country for his father, Xinzhi followed the county lord and you died on the battlefield without any complaints, but the county lord, you are now trapped by the emperor in the imperial capital, trapped in the world of the eldest princess's mansion, the prince is the only little joy in your life, Xinzhi asks the county lord to fight for himself!" ”

"Xinzhi, you get up quickly." The Liuyun County Lord bent down and helped Xin Zhi up, "I have listened to what you just said in my heart, if you think about everything for me like this, I will naturally think more about myself in the future." ”

The reason why the Liuyun County Lord said this is just that she can't bear to see Xinzhi too disappointed, although Xinzhi is serving the Liuyun County Lord closely, she is also smart and clever, and she is also loyal to the Liuyun County Lord, but in the end, she also does not have the insight of the Liuyun County Lord and Ning Zhixuan, and she does not see through the cold heart of the Son of Heaven who is high above.

Although Emperor Qi is because the queen prefers Shangguan Hanyue, but also because of the Xiao family and rely on Shangguan Qingyu, Emperor Qi, as the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as early as the day he stepped on the bones of his brothers to ascend to the throne, he chose to cut off all the affection in his heart, since then he and Shangguan Hanyue are first monarchs and ministers and then father and son, everything is just for the sake of the Great Zhou, the so-called father-son relationship is also more important than the thousands of miles of the Great Zhou, the emperor is not able to tolerate the family affection that ordinary people are most accustomed to, The emperor of Qu Gao and the widow has always been best at the art of checks and balances, which will have the current equal distribution between Prince Heng of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Prince Yu, and after King Gongjun gave birth to the only eldest grandson of the Great Zhou, the situation in the court is faintly formed a three-legged trend.

The three-legged stand restrains each other, and checks and balances each other, this is the emperor's trade-off technique, this is the ruthlessness of the emperor's family, first the monarch and then the father and son, the first the monarch and then the husband and wife.

Emperor Qi also saw through the coldness and ruthlessness of the emperor's family, and knew that the so-called father-son relationship of the emperor's family was important even if it could not be matched by the thousands of generations of the country, so he dared to compete for the throne with his brothers, and only then did he dare to kill all his blood relatives in the process of competing for the throne.

When Emperor Qi killed his brothers and sisters, he had already cut off the father-son relationship with the first emperor with his own hands, but he understood the ruthlessness of the heavenly family in his heart, and also understood that the first emperor's favorite prince and the first emperor were first monarchs and ministers, and then father and son. In the end, Emperor Qi was finally put on the throne of the emperor.

"The county lord, although the royal family of the Heavenly Family is destined to be ruthless, the slave can see that the prince is a loving and righteous person, and he is also affectionate with the county lord." Seeing that the county lord of Liuyun was relieved, Xin Zhi was already happy and said, "If the prince is by the county lord's side, the county lord will have something to rely on in this life." ”

"Dependent?" The lord of Liuyun repeated what Xinzhi said about "depending", but what he thought of in his heart was the past between Emperor Qi and Concubine Rong, although the matter of Concubine Rong was a taboo in the palace, but Lord Liuyun County had heard some rumors from the eldest princess, knowing that Emperor Qi and Concubine Rong were childhood sweethearts, and the two grew up together, knowing that Emperor Qi was interested in Concubine Rong when he was young, I am afraid that Emperor Qi treated Concubine Rong at that time, and the current Shangguan Hanyue treats Ning Zhixuan is not too much.

"If he can really treat her with deep affection, he will not be blinded by the power and wealth in the future." Shangguan Hanyue, dressed in blue and black hair, appeared in the mind of the Liuyun County Lord, and the corners of his lips were already unconsciously pulling up a smile, "If this can be the case, Xiao Er is really different from the emperors of the past who can't tolerate true feelings." ”

Xinzhi was also a little confused at first when he heard the words of the Liuyun County Lord, but after several rounds of thinking in his heart, he realized that the "she" in the mouth of the Liuyun County Lord was referring to Ning Zhixuan of the Zuo Xiangfu.

"County Lord, you are also sincere to the prince, why do you always think about fulfilling the prince and Miss Ning Er?" Xinzhi said a little anxiously, "You also promised the slave that she would think a little more about herself." ”

"Xinzhi, I know you're all about my good." The county lord of Liuyun knew that Xinzhi had always been meticulous, and she didn't want to hide it from Xinzhi, she waited for Shangguan Hanyue's heart, so she explained, "It's just that the most sought in this world is not available, and the most incompetently is the hearts of the people, even if they fight for people, they can't win their hearts." ”

"The prince treats the county lord with affection, as long as there is no Miss Ning Er in the middle......"

"Shut up......" Lord Liuyun had already scolded Xinzhi Dao, "Even if I know that you are dedicated to my good, I can't tolerate your thoughts of harming people's lives, if you let me know that you have such thoughts, don't blame me for not being able to keep you in the eldest princess's mansion." ”

Xinzhi saw that Liuyun County took the initiative to be really angry, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "County master, the slave and maid know that they are wrong, the slave and maid are only in a hurry and will not choose to speak, and the slave and maid do not really want to harm Miss Ning Er." ”

The lord of Liuyun County understands Xinzhi's temperament, and knows that she is kind by nature, and it is impossible for her to have a harmful heart, so she is only blinded by lard for a while, so she will have the wrong idea.

"Get up." Lord Liuyun motioned to Xinzhi to get up and said, "This time, Xiao Er wants to save Miss Ning Er, although it is inconvenient for me to come forward directly, but if I can help him in his place, I will naturally try my best to help him." ”
