Wei Yuanjia jumped out of the carriage, walked through a willow shade, and boarded the Ronghua Nunnery where Yuan Jie lived. The nuns in the temple were already lined up outside the nunnery to greet them.

Yuan Jie held Yuan Jia's hand and slowly climbed the steps: "Eldest sister, there is also a temple near my home, why do you want to come here to worship the Buddha?"

Yuan Jia glanced at her, disdainful of answering her stupid question. Presumably, she was only concerned about eating the plate of roasted venison at the dinner party yesterday, and she didn't pay attention to what Prince Duan said. It's no wonder that she is still a daughter who has not been out of the cabinet, and she has no brains, so she naturally doesn't know what to say.

Yuan Jia glanced up, this Ronghua Nunnery was really magnificently repaired, and even felt like a royal temple. The prince said that even the ladies and wives in the palace would come here to pray for blessings.

Shi Taijing wanted to ask someone to arrange Wei Yuanjia to live in a side room, Yuan Jie's eyes lit up, this was actually the place where she used to live, and even the furnishings in it had not changed. Yuan Jia was quite dissatisfied in her heart, and asked herself to live in Yuan Jie's room, which seemed to belittle her status as an aunt in the palace.

Although Buddhism says that all beings are equal, after all, Mrs. Shi has received many prominent figures, and she also knows that these people can't put down the pomp and circumstance at any time, so she is also contaminated with red dust, treats people with dignity and humility, and calls her the master a guest.

Yuan Yue lived next door to Yuan Jie, and Yuan Jie didn't care much, because in this way, she could occupy the big bed alone.

After settling the luggage, Yuan Jie sat in the room without incident, remembering that Yuan Jia's room had good snacks brought by the house, so she went to her room. When he went, Yuan Jia was sitting alone in the study, and the little girls went to help the nuns boil hot water and prepare for Yuan Jia to bathe.

The floor was littered with crumpled gold sprinkling rice paper that he had thrown away. When I got closer, I saw her writing on the paper: The grasshopper shakes the tree, and the mantis arm is used as a car.

Yuan Jie couldn't help laughing.

Seeing her laughing, Yuan Jia put down his pen and asked sideways, "What are you laughing at?"

Yuan Jie withdrew her hand and picked up a white porcelain tea cup on the case: "This tea is cold, I'll go and change it for my sister." ”

Yuan Jia pressed her hand and pushed a plate on the table down in front of Yuan Jie: "Don't be busy, tell me, what are you laughing at?"

Yuan Jie put down the teacup and pulled Yuan Jia's words: "Sister is laughing...... My sister was frightened by Wei Yuanxi. ”

Yuan Jia chuckled in his heart: "What?"

Her fingers stiffened, her fingertips stopped under the earrings, and the jade beads that were slipping wantonly on her fingertips lost their fulcrum in an instant, and the beads took off their hands, paused under their ears, and returned to calm. She turned around and looked at Yuan Jiehui: "What do you say?"

"Isn't my sister here to hide from her?" Yuan Jie took a bite of the snack and sat at the table: "Sister is saying that I will work against her at this time, like a mayfly shaking a tree, and a mantis arm as a car." In fact, my sister is right to think so, now the third sister is no longer the third sister in the past, she is the Donglin sect master of the imperial court, and there is a Prince Duan behind her, who can afford to provoke her?"

Yuan Jia was dissatisfied with the boss in his heart, how about the sect master, and what about Prince Duan? Who is afraid of whom! Just by calling Yuan Jie, he couldn't help but feel empty in his heart, too, if he didn't come out under the pretext of praying for the child in his womb, he would have to face Wei Yuanxi at home all day long. It's not that I'm afraid, I just feel awkward and don't bother to pay attention to her.

Yuan Jia raised his chin slightly: "Who said that?"

"Sister, do you still need to ask? You came back and wanted to live in your parents, but as soon as Wei Yuanxi came back yesterday, you came out to pray for blessings, and a fool can see it. ”

Yuan Jia glanced at her coldly, she really saw it.

Yuan Jia sat down angrily, drank tea silently, and held his stomach with one hand: "Then what should I do? You can't see your grandmother's face, it's like a different person, as soon as Wei Yuanxi comes back, he looks like he is in good spirits, let's come back, it's just two more dishes in the kitchen." ”

"If you want me to say, my sister shouldn't hide out, otherwise she will think that her sister is afraid of her!"

Yuan Jia sighed, that's it, more is better than less. Xiao Rongshen has not been in the palace for the past few days, and I heard that he and Gao Bingyan went somewhere to talk about things secretly. Now that Donglin Prefecture has opened a gold mine, Donglin Qinwei also has a rudimentary form, which is a well-known thing to the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty, even Gao Xiangguo couldn't sit still, and asked Xiao Rongshen to discuss countermeasures overnight.

"I heard that Wei Yuanxi raised 100,000 personal soldiers for the imperial court, in fact, even Prince Duan had 30,000 soldiers and horses under the Ming and Sanwei, and his strength should not be underestimated. Our prince doesn't have a sacred heart in the court, so why should I go to find Wei Yuanxi's bad head?"

Yuan Jie was taken aback: "Minghe Sanwei, didn't you say that the prince was not allowed to raise his own guard?"

"So what? Last time, someone poked this thing out, and was suppressed by the emperor again, and I heard that even the letter was burned. You still don't understand, the emperor is biased towards Prince Duan. ”

Yuan Jie sighed, there are many injustices in this world, and the preference is Wei Yuanxi's.

She snorted indifferently: "Sister, haven't you heard of it?" The third sister actually has been with Prince Duan for a long time...... That one. It's still Prince Duan that the third sister is looking for, I really don't know what Prince Duan's eyes are, but he actually fell in love with the third sister, not to mention the eldest sister, even the second sister's appearance is better than her. ”

"That's it, let's talk less, I don't know the truth that the wall has ears?" Yuan Jia took a sip of tea: "A few days ago, the prince personally told me that there was civil strife in Lu, and I heard that the old emperor was almost a few years old, and the ministers in their court thought that the crown prince Baiquan was too young to take on a big job. On that day, the emperor wanted to send troops to help Baiquan ascend to the throne, but Lord Gao said that the battle was just a waste of national strength. When the emperor heard this, he was annoyed and walked away. ”

Annoyed? Yuan Jie's heart was anxious when he heard this, the Ninety-Five Honor, shook his hand away, this is not a trivial matter. Yuan Jie sipped the veil slightly between her forehead, and the cold sweat dipped into the texture of the veil, which was sticky.

I heard that at the beginning of the year, Wang Yuanying of Zhongshan of Lü State was still fighting with General Pingdong on the Guiyun border of Dachu......

Yuan Jie looked at Yuan Jia, and offered a cup of tea with both hands: "In my opinion, Lord Gao should not object, the battle on the border of Guiyun, our Dachu is a miserable victory." The emperor was still defeated in a disastrous victory, could he not hold his breath in his heart? Then Yuanying, the king of Zhongshan, was also a fierce rival of the crown prince of Lu, and the emperor would definitely want to take the opportunity to kill his prestige. ”

Yuan Jia took the tea and looked at Yuan Jie suspiciously, this girl has read a few more books now, and her head is not as empty as before.

It was these words that after the emperor retired from the court, he also scolded Gao Xiangguo. The emperor seems to be looking down on Gao Xiangguo and them more and more. ”

Yuan Jie looked at her in astonishment: "What does my sister mean that the emperor wants to get rid of Gao Xiangguo?"

"But no, the emperor has been thinking about it for more than ten years, don't you know? When the emperor gossiped with Xu Wenliang in private, he called the prince and Lord Gao the old school, and Prince Duan and Wei Yuanxi called the new school, you must know that the emperor believes in the principle of removing the old and welcoming the new. ”

This is too terrible, Yuan Jie had no intention of tasting tea for a while, and only put the tea cup aside: "What my sister said is not unreasonable, it seems that my sister has to persuade the prince to strike first." ”

Yuan Jie blew a whirlwind in his heart, if he and the king of the county fell, Wei Yuanjia would definitely be finished, and then his future and marriage would be over. Wei Yuanxi's revenge temperament will never take care of her own affairs, even if she goes to her at this time, she will not believe it.

Can't let the king of Hejun fall!Yuan Jie secretly made up his mind.

"What does my sister mean?" Yuan Jia looked at her in confusion.

"Sister, if the people of Lu State attack the Guiyun border again, then the emperor will definitely send troops to resist the enemy. Since the emperor is abolishing the Gao Xiangguo, he will definitely not dare to use the generals of the Gao Xiang's faction, speaking of which, my sister guesses who the emperor will send to fight?"

Yuan Jia frowned: "You mean, Prince Duan?"

Yuan Jia disagreed, although Prince Duan's martial arts and riding skills were not very exquisite, he was definitely a good hand in the deployment of troops, and he had a brother Xiao Rongrun who grew up in the military camp, which was like a tiger with wings. If he wants to win this battle, it's just hand-to-hand, isn't this tantamount to laying the foundation for the opponent?

Yuan Jie saw that she didn't pay attention to it, so she shook her head and said with a wry smile: "My sister must have misunderstood what my sister meant, my sister is saying that Prince Duan is fighting on the front line, and he will definitely not be able to take care of the rear, and when the time comes, the affairs in the capital will not be decided by the king of the county alone?"

Yuan Jia was shocked, if Wei Yuanxi and Xiao Rongzhan were sent to the border to fight, Xiao Rongshen could take this opportunity to attack the emperor, or even usurp the throne!

Unexpectedly, such a thoughtful plan was actually thought up by the silly Yuan Jie. Yuan Jia felt incredible: "Who taught my sister to say this?"

Yuan Jie grinned: "Is my sister praising me?"

Yuan Jia nodded: "This is a good idea, but when will there be war on the Guiyun border?"

Yuan Jie said with a smile: "This is naturally the final say with the king of the county, as long as the prince is willing, he can call the hundred and ten people casually, and burn and kill and smash in Guiyunzhou under the banner of Lu Guo, and then let Guiyun Zhizhou make a break and fan the flames, and the emperor will naturally believe it." ”

"That's a good idea!"

There was a sudden cheer outside the door, and Yuan Jia and Yuan Jie bounced up in panic.

Pushing the door in, it was Xiao Rongshen, the two sisters breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Rongshen looked Yuan Jie up and down: "Sister's idea is really wonderful, I don't know how my sister came up with it?"

Yuan Jie was praised by him, and her face was a little crimson: "Back to the prince's words, the people's daughter is seen in books, and she is just learning and selling now, and it is really an honor for the people's daughter to be able to enter the ears of the prince." ”

Xiao Rongshen looked down at this mediocre woman: "I don't know what reward my sister wants for this wonderful plan for this king?"

"Reward?" Yuan Jie looked up at Yuan Jia, seeing Yuan Jia nodded, Yuan Jie was a little ashamed: "Women, they all want to have a good home, and my sister's requirements are not high, just be right." ”

Xiao Rongshen smiled, if you have a desire, you can hope for it, and what you are afraid of is someone who is smart and has no desires. Wei Yuanjie's request was very reasonable, even a little silly, she could have offered a higher price. Even if she said that she wanted to be the concubine of the palace, Xiao Rongshen would definitely agree to her.

"My sister is a real person. ”
