Chapter 165: Too Obvious!
When night falls, at the appointed hour, the palace gate falls, and unless there is a particularly urgent official business, not even a mosquito or fly will try to get into it.
People in the palace can't get out, and people outside the palace can't get in.
So this news naturally can't be delivered.
Especially people like Ji Xue who sent people to stare at Ning Ze for a long time, if there is any trouble, they naturally want to know the news immediately.
Therefore, the people outside are dying, but they can only wait until dawn, and then go in to report when the palace gate is opened.
If you ask what is urgent, it is not because of the two words that Ning Ze said, proposing.
At that time, the lord of Qingming County and the prince were present, and they were so alone, and they all talked about proposing marriage tomorrow, and this prince mainly knew that he was angry and died?
Who doesn't know Princess Bao'an Ji Xue Xinyue Guanghan King?
But I know that there is no way, after all, you still have to stop the prince from marrying a daughter-in-law?
Inevitably, it seems too impersonal.
The next morning, a man of short stature followed the vegetable cart into the palace gate.
In less than half an hour, news came out of the palace.
Ji Xue was very shocked when she learned that Ning Ze might want to propose, Ning Ze's parents died, and if she wanted to propose, she would definitely come to the door alone.
If Ning Ze marries Qi Shu, she must marry a wife, so how should she deal with herself? Everyone in the world knows that she is happy with Ning Ze, if she can't marry her, but let Qi Shu occupy her place, how can she bear it?
Where is the face going?!
So Ji Xue has to stop him no matter what!
Maybe it's God's beauty, or maybe it's her luck, Ji Xue really thinks this is fate!
The reason why Ji Xue didn't go to the Prince's Mansion Flower Banquet was not because she had a dislike with Ji Nan and couldn't get along, but because she accidentally learned something when she went to ask for peace on the morning of the Flower Banquet.
So much so that Ji Xue was shocked on the spot, and went back to her palace directly, without coming out again, and without the heart to go to the banquet again.
In fact, Yan Mo has given permission, Ji Xue only cares about a carefree life in the palace, and there is no need to worry about anything else.
Of course, in addition to the lifelong event, Yan Mo has always refused to answer.
So Ji Xue has always been happy to be lazy, she will go when she wants to ask for peace, and she won't go when she doesn't want to ask for peace.
Sometimes because of something, Yan Mo summoned Ji Xue, and Ji Xue would go forward in a huff.
But that day, Ji Xue happened to be out of the palace for a walk, and went to the prince's mansion earlier.
So I wanted to meet my father, who I hadn't talked to for a long time.
Yan Mo is diligent in government, so he usually gets up early to go to the imperial study to deal with government affairs, and then goes to the court when it is time to go to the court.
Ji Xue has inquired about her father's habits, and naturally knows his general life trajectory well.
didn't hesitate much, just went straight to the imperial study.
That morning, the clouds were a little deep, and the sky was a little gray, giving people a gloomy feeling.
Ji Xue doesn't like cloudy days. Although it brings a slight breeze to drive away the summer heat.
I just hope that the weather is still sunny and not sunny, and the flowers are blooming fragrantly, preferably all year round.
Walking through the carved beams and paintings, walking through the long corridor with twists and turns, the buildings in the palace are majestic and luxurious. This is the palace of the previous dynasty, but later the world belonged to the Ji family, and this palace was naturally taken over by the Ji family.
The slender jade fingers caressed the scratches that seemed to have knife cuts, looked at the weather-beaten white jade railing, and then looked sideways at the magnificent building not far away, and then looked up at the imperial study in front of him.
I suddenly thought about it in my heart, if she was sitting in the imperial study, facing the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the people of the world, what would it be like?
Thinking about it, she was a little absent-minded, Ji Xue touched the railing with one hand and walked forward, and the rough feeling came from her fingertips was not pleasant, but when she drew it in her heart, she would imagine how the mother queen led the army to rush into the palace and slaughter the heroic scene of the former palace people.
This is all the country that the mother emperor has beaten down, but it is not the Ji family who is sitting on the throne now, even if this person is her biological father. Hurriedly shook his head, as if he thought of something that should not be thought of.
The imperial study is in front of him, but unlike before, Ji Xue approached and didn't find a palace person waiting outside, there were palace people in the past.
Strange, could it be that the father sent them all away? It's definitely not okay to have someone in the palace waiting by your side.
Ji Xue planned to push open the door directly and go to the imperial study to see what was going on, where did his father go?
Unexpectedly, when she first approached the imperial study, there was a small voice from inside, which was just enough to be heard by Ji Xue.
It's the voice of the Father!
Somehow, Ji Xue suddenly stopped, wanting to hear what was being said inside.
The voices inside were loud and small, and there seemed to be other people's voices, but they didn't sound very familiar, and I didn't know who it was. Ji Xue subconsciously didn't dare to get too close, for fear of being discovered.
Still listening intermittently, Ji Xue listened for a while and felt as if she had heard something, and as if she hadn't heard anything, one moment it was the Dian Kingdom, one moment it was the Zhao Kingdom, one moment it was a marriage or something, what are these and what, completely unrelated things, why do you get together and say it?
Ning Ze? No, when Ji Xue heard the word Ning Ze, she instantly became nervous, she didn't think that her father would talk about Ning Ze, what does this have to do with Ning Ze?!
"What!! Are you trying to let my right-hand man, the minister of Wei, join Zhao to be my son-in-law?! Yan Mo's voice suddenly became louder, losing his previous calm and reason, and the voice was so loud that Ji Xue, who was standing outside, also heard it.
What the?!! Ning Ze is going to Zhao Kingdom?! Cumbersome?!
Ji Xue immediately panicked, and hurriedly wanted to push open the door of the imperial study and rush in to stop it, but before she could leave, another sentence came from inside: "What if Zhao Huanting marries into the Wei Kingdom?" ”
That won't work either! She is the most noble princess of the Wei Kingdom, and she can't let Ning Ze marry her, this is another Zhao State marriage? Why! Absolutely not!
"Your Majesty, isn't this a letter from Zhao Guolai? It's nothing, you don't press it first, Weichen heard that the prince seems to have a favorite person.
If you propose to someone at any time, then the marriage will not be negotiated. Your Majesty Since you don't want the prince to leave Wei, and you don't want Zhao Huanting to come to Wei, dragging it is the best way, not to mention that there is only one princess in Zhao Kingdom, and she should not agree to Zhao Huanting coming to Wei, so the marriage between the two countries will be delayed. ”
The man expounded his point of view in an unhurried tone, and actually comforted Ji Xue's heart strangely, no longer so restless, and the hand attached to the door that was about to be pushed away also let go and fell.
It seems that this may not be possible.
Later, Yan Mo seemed to say something in a low voice, and it seemed that it was why Zhao Guo proposed a request for marriage, as if Zhao Huanting, the princess of Zhao State, stayed in Shaoliang for a while when she passed by Wei State, and happened to meet Ning Ze.
Ji Xue couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard this, this man who is full of young Liang women hates to marry, how bad can it be?
After a while, Ji Xue heard that there seemed to be no sound inside, probably because the conversation was over, and after thinking about it, what she was eavesdropping on here could not be discovered.
So, Ji Xue hurriedly tiptoed away.
After all, it's the first time to do this kind of eavesdropping, I don't know why, Ji Xue actually feels a little weak-hearted, thinking that her various styles on weekdays are unscrupulous, obedient and willful, and no one dares to say a word, maybe she never thought that she would eavesdrop in the imperial study one day.
Such a major news made Ji Xue walk back to her Changle Palace in a panic, as if she had been pricked with a needle, and no one could touch it. Even the two maids saluted and greeted, and Ji Xue asked someone to drag the two of them out.
Lin Chaowen waited inside, and when he saw the princess's panicked and frightened look, he was slightly surprised in his heart, didn't he say that he would go to ask His Majesty for peace, and then go straight to the Prince's Mansion? The attendants had already gone to wait next to the palanquin at the entrance of the palace.
Although it is strange, with Lin Chaowen's understanding of Ji Xue, if Ji Xue's behavior is very abnormal, it is best to not move like a wooden stake, otherwise, even a small movement will attract Ji Xue's attention, and then he will be greeted with crazy and cruel punishment.
Sometimes Lin Chaowen also wants to ask himself, why not a hundred? Are you willing to let Ji Xue be called here?
After Ji Xue returned to her familiar inner room, smelling the rich incense in the air, a heart she was carrying gradually returned to her stomach, and her expression became relieved from tense and nervous.
Suddenly, he frowned, he was in too much hurry just now, and his expression was pale, I don't know if anyone saw it? Thinking of this, Ji Xue didn't feel a little annoyed, but now it's too late to regret it.
Staring at the vase on her table for a while, Ji Xue completely calmed down.
When she came to her senses, she found that there were only her and Lin Chaowen in the inner room, and she just wanted to call two playthings to come over and accompany her to drink or something, but then she remembered that she seemed to have asked Lin Chaowen to dispose of all the playthings she raised.
But after thinking about it, I raised so much, shouldn't it be gone?
"None left?" Ji Xue suddenly burst out of a sentence.
Lin Chaowen was still staring at his toes intently, when he suddenly heard Ji Xue's question, he was stunned before he reacted, and then hurriedly said, "Yes." ”
"It's too fast, don't leave the handle behind." Ji Xue frowned. The beautiful little face was a little red, and her expression was a little distorted.
"Properly disposed of."
Ji Xue was silent, she knew that Lin Chaowen did not drag his work at all, and he had always been clean. That's why she is relieved to give him a lot of things to do, of course, Lin Chaowen's weaknesses are still caught by her, and he won't and dare not challenge Ji Xue.
"Bring me the wine."
Lin Chaowen said with some hesitation: "Since His Royal Highness fell ill, His Majesty has strictly forbidden you to drink alcohol, not to mention that His Royal Highness rarely touched alcohol before, and if you go to the Prince's Mansion today and find that you are slightly drunk, it will be inappropriate." ”
He also knew that he shouldn't talk too much, but now that he reminded him, it was much better than Ji Xue making trouble for him afterwards, although Ji Xue could always find all kinds of reasons to punish him.
Sure enough, hearing Lin Chaowen's ramblings, Ji Xue snatched an eagle wood carving from the table next to the chair she was sitting on, and then smashed it at him.
Lin Chaowen didn't dodge, this is the rule.
When the princess is smashing people with something, no one can dodge it, no matter what she smashes, as long as Ji Xue can hold it at hand, she will use it to vent her anger. Even if the other party's head was smashed and bleeding, she would not be moved in the slightest.
Ruthless to the extreme.
But Lin Chaowen is white, the current Ji Xue's wings are not very hard, and the means are not very clever, what she can rely on is nothing more than the power left by the first empress and a few veins that support her, what else can she have? She can only bully the people who bully herself, and she can't bully the people in the world.
But what made him anxious was that the subtle changes that gradually took place in Ji Xue made him guess that Ji Xue's mind was no longer simply in Changle Palace.
Ji Xue began to stop killing palace people at will.
Ji Xue asked him to dispose of all the male pets she raised, and he would never be able to appear in front of her.
Ji Xue began to understand the ministers in the court, and whose forces they belonged to when there were many factions, and she was no longer satisfied with just planting an ear on top of the court.
Lin Chaowen suddenly had a thrilling idea in his heart, but he didn't dare to be sure of this idea, after all, for the current situation in the court, His Majesty's throne is stable, and the situation of national peace and security is very good, the prince has been an adult for several years, and the period of succession is approaching, and the prince relies on the strong backing of the old prince Ji Ci, and his strength is strong.
Fighting with any of them with Ji Xue's current strength alone is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.
And all the changes began to become the beginning of practical actions, and it was still from Nalan and Shaoliang in the Dian Kingdom that Ji Xue began to pay special attention to him.
Let him arrange sufficient manpower, keep an eye on his every move at all times, and be sure to find some clues, so that it will be convenient for her to find the reason for Nalan and He to come to the palace at that time.
It seems that Ji Xue thinks that the Dian Kingdom, which has experienced a great injury from the war, can become a big help for her, just see how Ji Xue uses it at that time.
On the surface, the Dian Kingdom is now well governed by Nalanda, but in fact, most of the courtiers are attached to Nalan and He, who is not only the heir and prince of the Dian Kingdom, but also the controller of most of the military power of the Dian State.
Ji Xue's hand will never reach the center of military power of the Wei State, perhaps as it should be, Ji Xue will feel that Nalan and He will be used by her.
Lin Chaowen saw Ji Xue's tricks very clearly, Imperial Physician Lu was Ji Xue's person, so he would naturally act according to Ji Xue's orders, and when he took the lead, he considered that Nalan and He might not make any moves at the flower banquet, which was too obvious.
If Nalan Hehe doesn't do it, then Ji Xue will use wealth and the like to buy Nalan He, after all, in Ji Xue's cognition, except for Wei, other countries are poor and can't open the pot.
