Chapter 144: Consultation
Cui Shu watched the carriage gradually disappear into the distance, and then lowered his head to look at the box that the caretaker was holding in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Lang Jun, will you go back?" The attendant asked in a low voice.
"Come back......," he sighed, and then he got back into his carriage.
This congratulatory order Jiang returned to the He Mansion, and informed He Xiangshan of the fact that the eldest princess had specially summoned her in the past.
Sure enough, just two days later, He Yan invited He Xiangshan to tea.
He Xiangshan got off the carriage, looked up at the teahouse in front of him, the surrounding environment of this teahouse is very quiet, all the way, the shadow is sparse and sloping, the flowing water is shallow, the tip of the nose is hidden in the plum blossom dark fragrance floating, it is a good place to drink tea.
However, He Yan was called to him this time, and it must be as simple as drinking tea.
He Xiangshan entered a small courtyard under the guidance of the servants, and as soon as he entered the tea room, he saw He Yan kneeling in front of the small table to make tea.
He quickly swept the room, the small tea room, the decoration is extremely elegant and simple, only a screen is not far away, covering the situation behind it, so that people can't see it really.
His gaze paused slightly on the screen, and then he turned around calmly and bowed slightly to He Yan: "Horse." ”
He Yan smiled and called his words: "Boyu, you are like this to see me." ”
He stretched out his hand and pointed to the other side: "The tea is ready, sit down and taste it." ”
He Xiangshan smiled and sat down according to his words: "Why did you remember to invite me to tea?" ”
He Yan raised his eyebrows: "What is this saying?" Can't I have tea for you? ”
He Xiangshan lowered his head to taste tea, smiled and said nothing, if he invited him to drink tea, it was natural, but he didn't have to find such a remote and quiet place.
He had just walked all the way, and saw that there were no tea customers here, and there were people guarding the courtyard.
is so cautious, he naturally knows the purpose of He Yan's trip.
After a cup of tea, He Xiangshan glanced at the screen: "The eldest princess doesn't come out to sit?" ”
There was a laugh from behind the screen, and then the eldest princess, dressed in casual clothes, turned the screen and walked out: "He Zhongcheng is really keen. ”
He Xiangshan got up and arched his hand: "The eldest princess is too famous." ”
The eldest princess sneered, sat down in front of the small table, raised her hand and straightened her sleeves slightly: "I haven't praised you." However, after many years, He Zhongcheng has become more and more thoughtful and scheming! ”
Here it comes!
He Xiangshan knew it in his heart, but his face was still puzzled: "What does this mean, princess?" ”
The eldest princess raised her eyebrows and looked at him sharply: "You don't have anything to say about Ling Jiang?" ”
He Xiangshan said suspiciously: "Ling Jiang is the daughter of my He family, what does the eldest princess want to know?" ”
The eldest princess had a slight cold on her face, and said coldly: "He Xiangshan, since I asked you now, I naturally checked everything clearly, and you don't want to fight with me here again." ”
As she spoke, she had already found out a lot of things.
"I already have a guess in my heart about this, and I came here today just to hear a letter from you."
He Xiangshan's face condensed slightly, and said solemnly: "What if the eldest princess insists on asking for a quasi-letter?" Could it be that you still want to let Ling Jiang return to the royal family? ”
As soon as these words came out, the heart that the eldest princess was hanging from finally settled, and he admitted it.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "Why not?" Since Jiang is the daughter of my royal family, she should naturally return to the royal family and be a princess again. ”
"Do you really think that it is better for Ling Jiang to be the royal princess now than to be the seventh lady of the He family?" He Xiangshan asked rhetorically.
The royal princess, who may sound infinitely beautiful, can make Jiang have no grandmother behind him, and he is the only heir of Prince Yiwen, and she is also embarrassed in the court.
It's okay if this person is generous now, but if he is kind to her, life in this court is not so easy.
What's more, Ling Jiang is now in order, once she returns to the royal family, her marriage will be decided by that person, and it is difficult to say what kind of person she will point to at that time.
But if it was in Hefu, he would not have disregarded Ling Jiang's intentions in vain, it was the one who intervened, if she didn't want to, he, who was a grandfather, could also fight back to block it.
The eldest princess naturally wouldn't be unexpected, but she was unwilling to let Ah Ran's only daughter recognize someone else as her father like this.
Ah Ran grew up under her watch, and after the palace change, she also almost went with a serious illness.
Now that she knows that Ah Ran still has an heir alive, she thinks that she can ask this child to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and Ah Ran's branch can be regarded as leaving a bloodline inheritance.
And if Jiang Ruo is just an ordinary or slightly capable little lady, she can naturally be stable for a lifetime when she is raised in the He family, but now look at her, how can a He family be able to raise her?
She looked at He Xiangshan and said, "I naturally understand He Zhongcheng's worries. ”
"It's just that although the He family is a hundred-year-old family, Jiang will be raised so well for so many years, but in this Yingdu, it is not as good as it was back then...... You see, Ling Jiang is obviously born noble, but she has to bow to those clan children who are far inferior to her. What is the feeling in my heart as an aunt? ”
"What's more, He Zhongcheng really thinks that today's Ling Jiang can be protected by a He family?"
He Xiangshan's heart couldn't help jumping, yes, even he had asked himself many times, how long could the He family protect Ling Jiang?
If Jiang enters the division and is involved in government politics, there will be a lot of complicated things, and it is difficult to dodge with open guns and hidden arrows. With today's He family alone, she can't be made worry-free.
Because of this, he thought about asking the He family to stand more steadily above the court, and more steadily. At that time, whether it is the He family or Ling Jiang, the one above will not move easily.
However, even if it is a hundred-year-old clan, it is difficult to resist the blow of the gravity of the imperial power.
The eldest princess looked at him and slowly persuaded: "Ling Jiang is not an ordinary girl after all, although the He family can protect her for a while, but they can't protect her for a lifetime." And although there are many drawbacks in the royal family, if they are available, they may not be able to help her. Standing tall and steady enough, it is good for Ling Jiang and He's family. ”
"And Ling Jiang's ability, the emperor now looks at it very much, but the He family and Ling Jiang are just a knife to him. What should happen after the Divine Palace is exhausted? ”
"But if Jiang returns to the royal family at this time, it will be different." The eldest princess doesn't know all about the emperor's thoughts, but it's almost the same.
"She's just a little lady in the end, not a son, even if the emperor has a grudge against her, he won't be too much. Taking advantage of the emperor's desire to use her, it is the right time to restore her identity at this time. ”
"As long as Ling Jiang does not endanger his throne, having such a princess is just an extra decorative pearl for him."
"As for the ......future," the eldest princess's eyes were slightly deep, "As an aunt, I naturally want to protect her from worry." You can rest assured, as long as she doesn't want to, I won't ask someone in the royal family to embarrass her about marriage. ”
Seeing that He Xiangshan was about to speak, she waved her hand to stop his words and continued: "I'll tell you the truth. Ah Ran still had some old ministers in the court in the past, and for so many years, although Ah Ran is gone, they still remember the friendship in the past. ”
"With me and them, Ling Jiang is not alone. Compared with your He's instability, it is most appropriate for her to return to the royal family and have someone secretly protect her. ”
