Chapter 166 Pei Lin asked secretly
Let's say that Pei Yingxue returned to the mansion, she was full of joy, and Pei Lin and Pei Lin were also overjoyed, knowing that she had won Xiaohan's favor; Pei Lin waited for Pei Lin to ask a few words, and then pulled Pei Yingxue to the study, obviously asking her secretly.
"Grandfather, what's the matter? Can't you let Daddy know about them?" Pei Yingxue frowned.
Pei Lin smiled, looked at her again, and then said, "How does it feel to enter the Taiping Mansion on the first day? That little girl in Taiping didn't bully you, right? Han'er, did you make any excessive moves? That kid can do anything! I thought he wouldn't let you come back tonight!"
"Grandfather, what are you talking nonsense, although Brother Han is uninhibited on the surface, he is still very polite to me and Wan'er, but he is a little presumptuous to the children of the rivers and lakes, grandfather can rest assured!" As she spoke, Pei Yingxue's face turned red again, obviously remembering Xiao Han's excessive actions again, but she liked it very much.
When Pei Lin saw it, he knew that this girl really liked Xiao Han, and Xiao Han also treated her well, so he unconsciously showed a look of relief: This grandson-in-law didn't say it, it seems that there is no mess with the mandarin duck spectrum, this girl is obviously dead to Xiao Han!
Pei Yingxue thought about it, and felt that it was necessary to tell her grandfather what happened today, but she wanted to stop talking, but the matter was so important that she didn't know where to start; besides, can Brother Han's true identity be exposed? Do you want to tell your grandfather?
"Yingxue, what do you want to say?Did something big happen today?" Pei Lin knew that something was wrong when he saw it.
Pei Yingxue sighed and said, "Grandfather, the affairs of this court are really complicated, alas, I can see it today, fortunately, Princess Taiping and Sister Wan'er handled it properly, otherwise, that prince might be over today!"
As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Pei Lian, but he didn't see the slightest surprise: Could it be that grandfather didn't care about Prince Hong? Could it be that the abolition of the prince is really everyone's common wish?
Perhaps, this is already the tacit understanding of the imperial court? Could it be that the crown prince is really not up to the task? The more Pei Yingxue thinks about it, the more puzzled she becomes, isn't the prince only sitting in the court for more than ten days?
"Yingxue, is the prince nervous again today? Could it be that he went to the Taiping Mansion to play some tricks again?" Pei Lin asked casually: Since the incident with the victims, he is not optimistic about the prince;
Pei Yingxue hurriedly recounted what happened today to Pei Lian one by one, and said: "It's really strange, how did this prince learn this skill? He still wants to play Xuanwumen again, but with his ability, is it possible? The strangest thing is that he dares to steal the names of Princess Taiping and Brother Han, trying to use them to deceive the trust of the two marshals Qin and Xue, and even drag Princess Taiping and Brother Han into the water; it's so stupid, as soon as everyone meets, won't the truth be revealed? Doesn't the prince even have a little wisdom?"
"Yingxue, you don't know this, the prince's move is obviously to prepare for the last fight, it seems that he already knows that his crown prince position is not guaranteed, so he wants to take the last step; but he obviously has no ability, only to get the throne by luck; The two marshals Xue, fortunately, they didn't speak excessively today, otherwise, I'm afraid that something big will happen!" Pei Lin immediately explained the key to it, and understood the intentions of Princess Taiping and Xiao Han.
Pei Yingxue thought about it, and then she understood, but she couldn't help but worry about them: "Then, grandfather, will the queen mother be dissatisfied with the actions of Brother Han and Princess Taiping, will she deal with them?"
"No, I see that the emperor and queen are the best to Xiaohan and Princess Taiping, it seems that their attitude is the attitude of the emperor and queen to deal with things, and I can't figure out the key to this;
Do you want to tell your grandfather about Brother Han's life experience? Pei Yingxue didn't think about it.
"Yingxue, is there any secret? Can you tell me?" Pei Lin saw through Pei Yingxue at a glance.
Pei Yingxue sighed before saying, "Grandfather, this matter is very big, I don't dare to reveal it, Brother Han said that even grandfather can't tell me, so I can't tell you!"
"Then listen to your brother Han, but does Shangguan Wan'er have any special explanation?" Pei Lin obviously wanted to make a meritorious service.
Pei Yingxue smiled, it seemed that she had only understood the situation in the DPRK at this time, and said: "Not yet, it's just that Yingxue wants to know, if there is something, will grandfather listen to Brother Han and Princess Taiping, or will he make his own decisions?"
"Of course I listened to them, Yingxue, if there is something, you can reveal it in advance; I believe that Han'er and Princess Taiping will not blame you; maybe, they want me to take the initiative to do something, hehe, the two of them are the most powerful characters; perhaps, they are the key to solving the current predicament of the imperial court, I hope that this time there is no need to engage in Xuanwumen or anything like that!" Pei Lin said.
Pei Yingxue thought for a while, and then said: "I see that people are very disgusted with the palace change in Xuanwumen at present, and they are trying their best to avoid this kind of thing from happening; don't say that Brother Han and Princess Taiping are disgusted, even the emperor and queen mother seem to just want the prince to take the initiative to resign from the crown prince, instead of forcing him to take risks; now, the two marshals Qin and Xue don't dare to talk nonsense, I see that they are very well-behaved in front of Brother Han, and they seem to be more well-behaved than in front of the emperor and queen mother, why?"
"The main reason is that your brother Han has a special identity, he is the prince of the former Prince Chengqian, so people naturally respect him; moreover, Xiao Han's talent is also very outstanding, I am afraid that even Emperor Taizong is not as good as him, but I don't know why, he just doesn't want to fight for that position; otherwise, I'm afraid that as long as he raises his arms, the world will really respond!" Pei Lin said regretfully.
"Why? Is Brother Han so powerful? I see that he just likes to play, as he himself said, he likes swordsmanship and beautiful women, and he doesn't seem to care about other things at all, a bit of a self-conscious man, why does everyone think he is amazing?" Pei Yingxue couldn't figure it out.
Pei Lin smiled, and then said: "Yingxue is still young after all, the biggest characteristic of Prince Xiaohan is that he solves all the things quietly, and he is quite thoughtful; Also, Princess Taiping is also obedient to him, and the two of them join forces with no one in the world to resist, not to mention Xu Jingye and Cheng Biting Jin, even if the ministers join forces, they can't play with them; and Shangguan Wan'er, their thoughts and strategies are superior to others; therefore, their combination is the most powerful, and this is also where the ministers admire them the most!" I just don't understand why the scheming queen doesn't guard against him, and he seems to trust him so much, why is that?"
Only then did Pei Yingxue understand Xiao Han's position in the hearts of the ministers, it turned out that he was so good, no wonder, the queen mother valued it so much, and now, I am afraid that she has no heart to take precautions.
"Grandfather, Brother Han just wants to be the king of Xiaoyao, and he likes Taiping, he has no ambition to fight for the throne, so the emperor and queen are very relieved; even the queen mother said that the Taiping Mansion is the center of the current imperial court, and she herself likes to live in the Taiping Mansion!" Pei Yingxue hurriedly explained.
Pei Lin thought about it, maybe this is really the case? However, there should be a deeper reason! And Yingxue was reluctant to say, it seemed that it was better for him not to know; many years of experience in the court told him that the less he knew the so-called secret, the safer he was!
"Yingxue, tomorrow Wan'er will definitely ask you about my conversation with you tonight, how are you going to reply?" Pei Lin tested her.
Pei Yingxue thought for a while before saying, "Grandfather, we don't have any secrets in Taiping Mansion, I will tell the truth, I believe this is the best attitude, Brother Han likes it the most!"
"Yes, Yingxue, you have grown up, remember, everything has to be obeyed by your brother Han, his orders are the best, do not make claims in everything; honesty is your best attitude, in front of them, you can't play tricks, that can get Han'er's like; it seems that I seem to be worrying too much, you are more stable than I imagined, okay, our Pei family depends on you, haha!" After speaking, Pei Lin couldn't help laughing.
Unexpectedly, Pei Yingxue, who was usually inconspicuous, is now so promising; before, he thought that Pei Xuan was the pride of the Pei family, but now it seems that Pei Yingxue seems to be better!
When they talked secretly, Pei Xuan's expression became even more concerned: "Sister, how is my matter?
"Xuan'er, you'd better not ask about this kind of thing, as long as there is a will, you will take office; Also, about your sister's affairs, you'd better not ask; remember, Prince Xiaohan and Princess Taiping's orders are the most accurate, and other people's orders, including Wu Sansi's orders, can be ignored;
"Ah!" When Pei Xuan heard this, his head immediately became bigger: Why, why did grandfather explain it like this?
"Yes, grandfather, don't worry, I will!" Pei Xuan hurriedly nodded and promised.
Pei Xuan's face was already respectful and meek, as if Xiao Han and Princess Taiping were already in front of him, and he was promising to be loyal to them!
This is exactly what Pei Lin wants to see, and it is also what Pei Yingxue wants to see!
