The shiny black lacquer gate on three sides is open, and dozens of small servants stand inside and outside waiting for the master's homecoming, and this magnificent mansion is the Zuo Xiangfu.

The sun shines into the main hall, covering the bright and broken light all over the place. The left minister above the court of the ancient Cangguo is at the extreme, and in addition to the right minister, he is the Son of Heaven.

Right Xiangyuan in the reign of the first emperor, has been in the imperial court, only at that time was still a mediocre hairy boy, the official residence of the five products, and later the emperor ascended the throne, then also with the right minister all the way to the official into the lord to sit in the current position, his sister followed into the harem for the queen, it is really particularly favored.

Zuo Xiang is different, his Shangguan family is deeply rooted in the ancient Cangguo, and his ancestors have not exported the Lin family of the emperor, and Zuo Xiang himself is even more talented, and he has won two imperial examinations in a row, so he can be worthy of entering the ranks.

"Xiangye, please have tea."

"Yes."

Zuo Xiang sat on the Taishi chair, his brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and when he saw the maidservant girl on the side coming to add tea, he looked down at her shallot-like fingers, and his mood suddenly eased a little.

"How old are you?"

"Hui Xiangye, nineteen."

Zuo Xiang just nodded after listening, didn't say anything and continued to lean on the back of the chair, the servant girl secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it is not easy to be the subordinate of this prime minister's mansion, especially the maidservant, this is what she was taught to her by the previous person when she entered the mansion a few days ago.

However, she has only recently understood, and she is from the appearance of Zuo Xiang's occasional inadvertent appearance, so the maidservant girl deeply feels that a person's level of knowledge really cannot be used to cover up a person's character.

"By the way, what about the crown princess?"

"The Crown Princess.. It was in the eldest lady's house. ”

The maid had already shrunk her neck when she spoke, and sure enough. Hearing this, Zuo Xiangyan threw the teacup in his hand on the table, Qingyu's teacup never turned steadily, fell to the ground and shattered, and the maid shouted helplessly, trembling and kneeling on the ground.

"Xiangye is angry."

"Go get her!"

There was a hint of arrogance in Zuo Xiang's eyes, this maid has not yet got the current Mrs. Zuo Xiang*, she only knows that Mrs. is not the biological mother of the crown princess, and every time the princess comes back, she always stays alone in a room in the backyard that Zuo Xiang does not like very much, and no one dares to disturb her.

"Father."

"Here, sit."

After a while, the maid followed the princess back, and only standing behind her could feel the coldness around her, everyone was accustomed to it, even the left minister, and the maid could only not always make such a quiet fuss.

"How's your health lately?"

"It's good."

The crown princess spoke indifferently, and the maidservant girl got a straight eye when she served tea, and shouted kindness in her heart. However, anyone can hear that Zuo Xiang is referring to something else, but the princess is too lazy to answer, and in the matter of the heir, when asked by her family, she feels more mean to the princess than the concubine's mother-in-law.

Zuo Xiangqing coughed to hide the embarrassment on his face, waved his hand impatiently, and all the maidservants in the main hall withdrew.

"My father called you back today because I wanted to ask, that Ying Fang Concubine in the East Palace..."

"It was made by Hongu."

The corners of the crown princess's mouth crossed an imperceptible sneer, seeing that Zuo Xiang's eyes were full of light, and he was also curious, so he said bluntly with a heavy gaze, Zuo Xiang was stunned when he heard it, he didn't expect his daughter to be so bold, so bold that he didn't hide it at all.

"Don't say this again, and you're not afraid of that King Yu."

"If King Yu supports Concubine Ying, won't the palace also have a father?"

The crown princess was wearing a long black gold dress, this color deserves her to be a little old-fashioned, but at the moment she is dressed up with a smile, but it makes Zuo Xiang's heart a little chilly, what kind of heart is the princess, he is more and more incomprehensible, but he is also relieved, such a means are not afraid of the future..

"What about Zhou Weizhen? How did you convince him? ”

"Weizhen? That kid was shrewd, Hongu didn't say a word, just one look at him, and he knew what to do. ”

The crown princess smiled warmly, but Zuo Xiang still felt uneasy, staring deliberately, as if he was blaming the princess for acting recklessly, Zhou Weizhen is the nephew of the concubine, and if he can't keep it, he will say it all, but the princess is so confident.

"For the sake of my father, the concubine may not believe you."

"With her father here, she has to believe it."

The crown princess's eyebrows and eyes maintained a just right arc, and then took a sip of tea, Zuo Xiang's gaze couldn't help but fluctuate slightly, it seems that since the year the crown princess married to the East Palace, every day after that, she has been growing and changing at a speed that ordinary people can't match.

"Well. How has the prince been doing to you lately? ”

"The prince's heart is all in Ye Ruyan's body.. What about my daughter? ”

The crown princess straightened her back and smiled brightly, on the surface, she didn't seem to care about her husband to pamper the woman next to her, but in the eyes of Zuo Xiang, this was clearly a stubborn and hard-mouthed child, and she didn't know how to be coquettish when she was young.

"The prince really doesn't remember to eat!"

"In the end, it's up to the crown prince."

Zuo Xiang has been in the officialdom for many years, and he is indeed a frivolous person when he speaks in private, and the crown princess is even more special, she can see this matter better than Zuo Xiang, and she can understand men better than ordinary people, but this is a bit of a grievance in Zuo Xiang's eyes that he broke his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach for the sake of face.

"It's hard for you to be so transparent, just because my father really can't understand the concubine and the prince recently, what do the two mean in the marriage of King Yu?"

"The noble concubine is jealous of King Yu, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is jealous of King Mo.."

I am afraid that this is the real purpose of Zuo Xiang to call the crown princess home, the princess's voice is inaudible, and she also understands that what Zuo Xiang cares about most is the glory of the entire Shangguan family, and the future position of the crown princess, that is, the future status of Zuo Xiang...

"Then the father doesn't understand it even more.."

"Father still remembers His Royal Highness the Second Prince, but he still remembers the emperor's attitude towards King Mo... The meaning of the concubine is obvious, she wants to use that marriage to cut off King Yu, and it is best to bring the Mo Wangfu together."

Zuo Xiang's heart was a little more relieved when he heard this, he could almost guess the concubine's thoughts, but he was not as big as the concubine, and General Su's No. 1 person was indispensable on the border, especially, the emperor was obviously so disgusted with King Mo, and the Wanshou Festival banquet was not allowed to come out to deter Xuanyuan, and she was so fond of pushing a wheelchair out to be looked down upon by others.

"As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it's nothing more than wanting to protect King Yu, and he likes it."

"What!"

Zuo Xiangting's heart was on fire, and he suddenly got up and grabbed the teacup and smashed the place that had been cleaned up again, look at what the princess said, there are three sisters in a row, married one, spoiled one, and now you like one? The prince's eating appearance is ugly for everyone.

Zuo Xiang stared at the faint and difficult face of the crown princess, and sat back in the chair as soon as he fell, how could he not be surprised, how could he not be angry, thinking that Xuan Chen spoke lightly on the Wanshou Festival that year, Zuo Xiang was angry and wanted to clarify that Fang Xing had a marriage contract with King Mo, wasn't he afraid that she would shake the status of the crown princess in the East Palace!

At this time and that time, I don't know who should be grateful to Zuo Xiang for pointing out the marriage contract for the first time, but the concubine's attitude towards Fang Xing was completely different from now, and the prince is even more, this mother and son are really biological.

"What about the concubine, what do you say!"

"The concubine Niangniang's attitude towards King Yu is resolute, but I'm afraid that she can't beat the prince, fortunately... and Master Lin, I don't like King Yu very much. ”

Zuo Xiang's brows furrowed, the mustard in his heart was difficult to eliminate, the princess's words were reasonable, and things were sorted out very smoothly, but Zuo Xiang felt otherwise, it was really difficult, the concubine must not be able to resist the prince, maybe it was difficult now, what about the future..

Besides, Zuo Xiang looked at Lin Lao, that is, he had been away from officialdom for many years, and he was just a stargazing and fortune-measuring god before, he would help the concubine attack Bai Yumo and Fang Xing, that was completely brainless, who didn't want Fang Xing such a daughter-in-law, he was like this, but he gave the prince a chance, didn't he!

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is guilty of Concubine Ying's falling into the water, Ye Ruyan has had a deep affection for the prince since he was a child, and King Yu is really blessed to have such a few sisters.."

"It seems that the idea of cutting off the prince is the first to bear the brunt, King Mo can't do it, the emperor really doesn't work, it's still the Lin family! The Lin family is the best.."

Zuo Xiang nodded uncontrollably, nodded for a full half a moment and didn't come to his senses, according to Zuo Xiang, Fang Xing and Lin Qing looked like they were in love, this road is the fastest, especially the power of the Su family and the Lin family is not small, what the concubine cares about, just Zuo Xiang also cares, think about the future.. If he wants to compete with the strength of these two families, will the new emperor choose to reuse the Shangguan clan?

In the end, Zuo Xiang promised to settle the matter, and the crown princess did not disturb his plan, standing in the courtyard facing the sun and comparing the nails to Kodan, a chill surged in his heart, and a trace of schadenfreude quickly flashed in his eyes.

"Shun Ying is leaving?"

"Hello Mrs. Zuo Xiang."

Mrs. Zuo Xiang's tone was particularly gentle when she met the crown princess, but her voice entered the ears of the crown princess, and it was immediately like a red-hot coal, smashed into the water, causing a burst of boiling. And the crown princess's face was suddenly dyed with a bit of haze, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were full of disdain that could not be hidden.

"It's better to stay at home and eat before leaving.."

"Not necessarily."

Knowing that Mrs. Zuo Xiang deliberately spoke to her in the tone of the master's family, knowing that she should not be angry, the princess's face still couldn't help twitching, and she forcibly suppressed all the resentment in her heart.

"Why are you in a hurry, Mrs. Ben asked for a statue of Guanyin for you two days ago, do you bring it?"

"It's okay for Mrs. to burn incense idle, but don't go to worship any Guanyin Buddha, you should ask Lord Yama to take this palace as soon as possible, otherwise this palace is alive, and you will die sooner or later."

The crown princess whispered in the ear close to Mrs. Zuo Xiang, her voice was hoarse because of ferocity, and there was sadness in it, Mrs. Zuo Xiang couldn't help but tremble when she heard her tone like a ghost, and she staggered back and didn't want to be deliberately tripped by the princess, so she suddenly fell to the ground, embarrassed.
