“Father.”
Xiao Yi lifted her robe and walked into the study room, saluting King Zhennan behind the desk.
The King of Zhennan tilted his head slightly and looked at Xiao Yi with squinted eyes. This son has been at odds with me since he was a child and rarely comes to him. What’s going on today? Could it be that he caused some trouble outside?
Thinking of this, King Zhennan couldn’t help but have a little suspicion in his eyes.
Xiao Yi pretended not to notice, sat down and said: “Father, the Wuyin clan has become more and more arrogant recently. My son thought that he had to suppress it. Otherwise, where would your face be?”
You are the only one who is troublesome! The King of Zhennan glared at Xiao Yi with dissatisfaction. Although he felt a little dissatisfied with Xiao Yi’s trouble-making, he was right about one thing. The Wuyin clan was so flamboyant that it was clear that they did not take the Prince of Zhennan seriously. If all those small tribes follow the same example, where is the majesty of the royal palace? !
But it was Xiao Yi who brought up this matter, and King Zhennan couldn’t help but think a little more: Could it be that Xiao Yi, the rebellious son, wanted to take this opportunity to win over the people?
The more King Zhennan thought about it, the more likely it became that he felt it was possible. After coughing twice, he looked at him and said, “I don’t think you need to worry too much about a small tribe. In a few days, I will send troops to suppress it. ”
“What the father said is right.” Xiao Yi did not dwell on the matter and said with a smile, “Then the son can count on the father. But there is one more thing. Does the son think it is time to send someone to comfort him? Call the people in the southwest and tell them that the Zhennan Prince’s Mansion will protect them.” Seeing that the Zhennan Prince was frowning, Xiao Yi added, “It’s not the same thing that there are always refugees coming to Luoyue City, Yong Yang Grandma is still a guest in southern Xinjiang.”
The King of Zhennan looked solemn. He almost forgot that Princess Yongyang was at the Zhennan Palace.
If she returns to the royal capital and reports to the emperor that refugees are everywhere in southern Xinjiang and the Zhennan Palace cannot suppress them, I am afraid the emperor will have even more excuses to deprive her of the title of vassal!
This matter cannot be ignored.
The King of Zhennan pretended to think for a while and said: “Ayi, you are indeed acting like a prince recently, and I actually have this plan.”
Xiao Yi asked with a smile: “Who do you plan to order, father?”
The King of Zhennan couldn’t help but frown, and then heard Xiao Yi continue: “Speaking of it, this job is not bad. It’s not too far to the southwest, and with the help of the local government, it must only take ten days and a half. . The matter is done, this is also a military achievement…” After a pause, he suggested, “My son wants Tian Detao to go there. What do you think, father?”
Tian Detao is Tian He’s eldest grandson. Is Xiao Yi trying to take advantage of this opportunity to win people’s hearts? The King of Zhennan couldn’t help but feel worried. He knew that Tian He had a good relationship with Xiao Yi, the rebellious son. If Tian Detao got the credit this time and had the opportunity to be promoted, wouldn’t he be telling the veteran generals in the army that as long as they join Xiao Yi, they will be blessed? Descendants of Ze?
“No.” King Zhennan refused without hesitation, “I thought…” He couldn’t think of a suitable candidate for a while.
Xiao Yi chuckled lightly, picked up the paperweight on the table, played with it and said, “Father, don’t you want that good-for-nothing Fang Shilei to go?”
The King of Zhennan stared at him dissatisfied. The last time Xiao Yi refused to arrange Fang Shilei under his command, he was disgraced by his son and had not paid attention to Fang Shilei for a long time. He has not yet arranged any errands for him.
In this way, appeasing the refugees is a good job. After Brother Lei has won military honors, it will be more logical to arrange him into the army.
“I do think Brother Lei is good.” King Zhennan said flatly, “Let him go this time.”
“Father, are you sure?” Xiao Yi raised his lips slightly and said with a half-smile, “Fang Shilei, that guy who only knows how to bluff, dares to appease the people? He will only lose your face.”
“Ayi.” King Zhennan said in a displeased tone, “Brother Lei is your cousin after all. How can you say that to him?”
The smile on Xiao Yi’s face grew wider, like a fox, he narrowed his eyes and said, “Father, if you don’t believe it, why not make a bet with your son…”
……
Half an hour later, Xiao Yi walked out of King Zhennan’s study. At the same time, a military order from King Zhennan was also sent to Fang Mansion in Luo Yue City.
Fang Shilei was ordered to serve as deputy envoy of Xuanfu and go to the southwest border to appease the people.
This appointment caused an uproar in the Fang Mansion. Everyone knew that the southwest was in chaos, and the Wuyin tribe was like a ferocious wild wolf, invading one village after another. Let Fang Shilei go to the southwest to appease the people? Isn’t this going to die?
The royal palace chief who came to deliver military orders followed him away, but Fang Shilei was so frightened that his face turned pale and he was at a loss.
He wanted his uncle to arrange a job for him so that he could easily earn some military merit, but why would his uncle let him go to the southwest border?
Fang Shilei’s heart suddenly shrank, he hesitated for a moment, and quickly ran to his mother, Mrs. Fang San, for help.
So, the next day, there was an uninvited guest in Xiao Fang’s house…
“Auntie, you must save Brother Lei!” A woman wearing a green official gown with colorful flowers begged to little Fang with red eyes. She held a handkerchief in her hand and wiped it with her from time to time. The tears in the corners of her eyes were none other than Mrs. Fang San.
Sitting on the couch, Xiao Fang frowned and asked hurriedly: “Third sister-in-law, what happened to Brother Lei?”
“Auntie, Brother Lei is going to be sent to the southwest…” Mrs. Fang San burst into tears and sobbed, “Your Majesty… Your Majesty, he has asked Brother Lei to be the deputy envoy of Xuanfu and go to the southwest. Appease the people who were robbed by the Wuyin tribe!”
“What?!” Even Xiao Fang was shocked.
Although Xiao Fang has been “recuperating” at home recently, the incident on the southwest border has been so big that even she has heard about it!
Fang Shilei is her brother’s only legitimate son. How could he go to such a dangerous place? What if there is an eventuality…
Little Fang barely dared to think about it any more.
Seeing that Little Fang was silent, Mrs. Fang San sobbed and said: “Auntie, the military order only allows Brother Lei to lead fifty soldiers. How can these fifty soldiers be used? This is not what Lei is allowed to do. Brother, go, go…” Mrs. Fang San did not dare to say the word “die”, and looked at little Fang with pleading eyes, “Auntie, please save brother Lei! Only you can save him now. It’s over!” As she said this, Mrs. Fang San began to cry again.
Xiao Fang frowned slightly, wondering how King Zhennan could make such a decision.
At this moment, Nanny Qi on the side thought of something and said hesitantly: “Princess, I have something that I don’t know whether to say or not…”
Little Fang glanced at Mrs. Fang San and said, “Sister-in-law San is one of our own, there is nothing we can’t say!”
Ms. Qi then said: “I heard that the prince went to the study room yesterday to find the prince, and then the prince sent someone to his uncle’s house…”
Hearing this, Mrs. Fang San almost jumped up and said with hatred in her heart: It turns out that Xiao Yi is causing trouble behind her! No wonder the King of Zhennan was such a good person that he actually gave her Brother Lei this ridiculous job!
Little Fang frowned and said in a deep voice, “Third sister-in-law, don’t worry, I will send someone to invite the prince…”
Speaking, Xiao Fang gave Nanny Qi a wink, and Nanny Qi hurriedly took the order and left.
After burning the incense, King Zhennan walked in.
Mrs. Fang San saluted to King Zhennan, and after King Zhennan sat down on the armchair by the window, Mrs. Fang mentioned Fang Shilei’s trip to the southwest with a sad look on her face…
“Your Majesty, I heard that A Yi came to see you yesterday, but A Yi asked Brother Lei to go to the southwest?” Xiao Fang continued.
The King of Zhennan raised his eyebrows, not understanding why Xiao Fang asked such a question.
Xiao Fang carefully looked at the expression of King Zhennan, and saw that he frowned and said nothing, thinking that he acquiesced, and sighed: “Your Majesty, how can A Yi be so cruel… After all, Brother Lei is too How could his cousin send Brother Lei to such a dangerous place!” Xiao Fang’s voice was full of sadness and worry, “Your Majesty, I know A Yi misunderstands me now, but even if he complains again I, no matter how much you hate me, I shouldn’t vent my anger on Brother Lei! Ayi asked Brother Lei to go to the southwest border, doesn’t that mean he is asking Brother Lei to die! Your Majesty…”
“That’s enough!” King Zhennan placed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table beside him, and raised his voice in displeasure, “It was me who proposed Brother Lei to go to the southwest. What does the king mean? Do you also think that I want Brother Lei to die?!” Thinking of the bet between himself and Xiao Yi, King Zhennan’s eyes were cold and there was a chill in his voice.
How come? ! Xiao Fang was shocked and thought to herself that it was not good. how so? Could it be that Xiao Yi deliberately attacked Brother Lei because he wanted to take revenge on himself and Mrs. Qiao San?
Little Fang and Mrs. Fang looked at each other.
Little Fang subconsciously wanted to test something, “Your Majesty…”
Zhennan Wang Huodi stood up, flicked his sleeves, and said in a cold voice: “A woman’s view is truly a woman’s kindness! What a good man, just when he should go out to explore, you blindly restrain him What’s going on around me?!”
The good job here allows Fang Shilei to accumulate connections and military exploits without having to go to the battlefield or lead troops to fight. If Fang Shilei hadn’t been his nephew, how could he have snatched such a good job from Tian Detao and given it to him! Unexpectedly, Xiao Fang and the others would not thank themselves, and even said that they had sent Fang Shilei to die!
The more King Zhennan thought about it, the more displeased he became. The year before last, he had given Xiao Luan such a good opportunity to bring reinforcements to Fuzhong City to support Xiao Yi, but what was the result? ! Xiao Luan made such a big joke and kept saying never to go to the battlefield again!
He glanced coldly at the two women in the room and said with disgust: “A loving mother often loses her son!”
As he said that, he strode out of the house. When he reached the door curtain, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and said in a strong tone to the third lady Fang: “I think the fifth niece is not young at all.” Well, third uncle and sister-in-law, you’d better settle her marriage as soon as possible, so as not to damage the reputation of the royal girl!” At this point, his face became extremely gloomy, and his tone was like ice cream.
The King of Zhennan received a report early this morning, saying that there was a rumor in the city that a girl from the palace fell into the water and was rescued by a man, and it spread like wildfire. King Zhennan hurriedly sent people to investigate, and then he found out that it was the fifth girl from the Fang family who fell into the water in Anlan Palace… I don’t know how it was spread that it turned out to be a girl from the prince’s palace who fell into the water.
The King of Zhennan was so angry that smoke was rising from his head. Fang Zimo had ruined his reputation and caused a stir in the city, but his daughter was also implicated. What the **** was this?
The King of Zhennan didn’t explain clearly what was going on. Mrs. Fang San was confused and didn’t dare to ask, but she was at least sure that that little **** Fang Zimao had done something wrong. , angered King Zhennan!
Mrs. Fang San’s face turned even uglier. She felt that Fang Zimo was simply a pest! Maybe King Zhennan was angry with Brother Lei because of this matter!
The King of Zhennan glanced at Xiao Fang and Mrs. Fang San with his cold eyes, snorted coldly, and left the room without any hesitation.
In an instant, Mrs. Fang San seemed to have lost her energy, and collapsed softly on the pear wood chair. Her eyes filled with tears again, and she cried loudly.
It’s all over now!
Her sister Teng has been reduced to a concubine, and her brother Lei is going to die… Why is her life so miserable!
“Stop crying.” Xiao Fang said with a serious face, “What do you mean by the prince’s words?!” She also has a daughter, how can she let her daughter’s reputation be affected!
The cold voice startled Mrs. Fang San. Brother Lei was still pointing fingers at Xiao Fang, but she must not offend her again now. Mrs. Fang San quickly wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief and said, “Auntie, I’m going to go back and ask Sister Mo. I have to give my aunt an explanation!”
Seeing that her expression didn’t seem to be fake, Xiao Fang’s face softened slightly and dismissed Mrs. Fang San on the pretext of being tired.
Mrs. Fang San hurried back to the house. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she immediately ordered a sallow-faced nun to call Fang Zimo over.
As soon as the nanny heard Mrs. Fang San’s tone, she guessed that Fang Zimo was going to be in trouble, and she hurriedly responded respectfully.
After a while, Fang Zimo arrived in style. She had a loose bun on her arm, a pomegranate bead flower on her head, and a moon-white plain-faced flower gown, which was delicate and charming. A hint of weakness.
“I’ve met my mother.” She respectfully saluted Mrs. Fang San.
Mrs. Fang San didn’t call out for a long time. Fang Zimo cautiously raised her head and glanced at her aunt, and saw that her face was dark, and she couldn’t help but feel a thump in her heart.
She didn’t dare to tell anyone about what happened yesterday, not even her aunt! Anyway, no one should know that she is a girl from the Fang family. After a while, things will naturally calm down. But judging from the look on her aunt’s face, could it be that she already knew?
Mrs. Fang San looked at this charming concubine with cold eyes. She originally thought that this concubine’s outstanding appearance would definitely be of some benefit to the other party’s family. Therefore, she usually had some small thoughts and pretended to be deaf and dumb. Unexpectedly, On the contrary, her heart was raised, and she didn’t know what she did behind her back, but she actually angered King Zhennan!
“Pa——”
Mrs. Fang San slapped the case hard and said sarcastically: “You still have the nerve to come see me, what good things did you do yesterday?! You have almost lost the face of our Fang family!”
Fang Zimo’s feet softened and she immediately knelt down. Her pretty face turned pale slightly and she said calmly: “Mother, I am doing it for the Fang family…” She murmured intermittently and vaguely what happened in Anlan Palace yesterday. He said it vaguely.
Mrs. Fang San’s expression became more and more grim. When she heard that Fang Zimao was rescued from the water by a big man, skin to skin, she fell back in anger. What a courage! This little **** is so brave, how dare she do such a thing without telling her!
Nangong Yue did not accept her that day, and Mrs. Fang San originally thought that she could find another opportunity. Fang Zimo is very good-looking, and Mrs. Fang San believes that Nangong Yue’s refusal to accept her must be to prevent her from gaining favor. Once Xiao Yi, that brat, meets someone, he will definitely be tempted. But she didn’t expect that before she could make a plan, this little **** would dare to take matters into her own hands and cause such a disaster!
The more Mrs. Fang San remained silent, the more frightened Fang Zimo became in her heart. She hesitated to defend herself: “Mother, my daughter also wanted to share her mother’s worries. Then… I didn’t expect this to happen.” After a pause Finally, she hurriedly added, “Mom, don’t worry, no one knows that I am a girl from the Fang family.”
Share the worries for yourself? ! Mrs. Fang San was so angry that she threw the teacup in her hand. It was obvious that this little **** was getting jealous and wanted to get on Xiao Yi herself!
The tea cup fell on Fang Zimo’s shoulder, and the hot tea spilled on her delicate skin. Fang Zimo let out a cry of pain, but she didn’t even dare to wipe it.
Mrs. Fang San sneered and said angrily: “Didn’t you know you were a girl from the Fang family? Now this matter has spread all over the city, and even the prince knows about it! You are really very capable!”
What? ! Fang Zimao’s eyes widened in disbelief.
This, how is this possible!
Fang Zimo’s delicate body shivered like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind.
Mrs. Fang San looked at her with disgust and said without refutation: “Go back and prepare for marriage! I will ask your savior to come to propose marriage… and we will get married in three days!”
Fang Zimo was so frightened that she almost collapsed. She walked over in embarrassment and begged: “Mother, please, why can’t my daughter marry such a rough guy…”
Mrs. Fang San snorted coldly and said, “You have to marry even if you don’t want to! It’s useless even to beg your father, this is what the prince wants!” Even if Mr. Fang San still loves this concubine, He won’t offend King Zhennan because of her!
How could this happen? ! Fang Zimao’s face was ashen, and all the strength in her body seemed to be drained out in an instant, and she collapsed on the ground, her eyes empty. She really couldn’t understand how she could end up like this with her stunning appearance.
“Take it down.”
Mrs. Fang San waved her hand impatiently, and immediately two women came up to lift her up, one on the left and the other on the right, and dragged her down.
The room became quiet again, but Mrs. Fang San became even more irritable.
If the prince refuses to take back his life, what will her brother Lei do… Is there really no other way? !
Mrs. Fang San unconsciously clenched her fists, her brows were furrowed with worry, and she murmured: “No, I can’t let Brother Lei die…”
“Madam,” the nanny beside her said cautiously, “I have an idea…”
“What’s the idea?!” Mrs. Fang San suddenly came back to her senses and looked at the nanny eagerly.
Mammy narrowed her cloudy old eyes and whispered to Mrs. Fang San.
Sparks ignited in Mrs. Fang San’s eyes again, and she nodded frequently…
As a result, the Zhennan Palace received a report from the Fang family the next day, saying that Fang Shilei, the sixth son of Fang, accidentally fell off his horse and broke his leg.
When the steward of the Palace Affairs Department truthfully reported the matter to Queen Zhennan, she keenly felt that her prince’s face was getting increasingly ugly…
Is there something wrong with this news? The steward thought uneasily and remained silent.
In contrast, Xiao Yi, who was sitting by the window drinking tea, seemed to have heard some interesting joke, with a smile on his face, which was in great contrast with the expression of King Zhennan.
The King of Zhennan waved his hand impatiently and sent the person away. The steward was relieved and quietly retreated outside the study.
Xiao Yi slowly put down the teacup in his hand, looked at King Zhennan with a half-smile, and said, “I am willing to admit defeat. Father, do you want to admit defeat?”
Hearing the provocation in Xiao Yi’s tone, King Zhennan’s face turned even more ugly, but he didn’t want the traitor to be so proud, so he held on and said: “There are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, this is just an accident!”
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows. He had known that King Zhennan might make such excuses, so he added: “Father is right, this is not impossible. How about this? Father, let’s bet one more time. ?” His dark eyes burst into cunning light.
“What do you say?” King Zhennan looked sideways at Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi answered the question incorrectly: “Cousin Yu from my eldest aunt’s family came to the military camp the day before yesterday and wanted to ask my son for a job, but my son refused.”
The King of Zhennan frowned slightly. He naturally remembered what happened that day. Ayu just wanted to join the Xuanjia Army and become a captain. He also agreed to it, but he was actually rejected by this traitor. Rejection does not count, Xiao Yi also used the same rhetoric, saying that his subordinates did not want waste.
Xiao Yi said with a smile: “Don’t you think Cousin Yu is good, father?”
King Zhennan immediately realized it and thought to himself: Ayu has always been a good person, and he is even more respectful to himself, unlike this rebellious son! And the eldest sister is not like Mrs. Fang San, a shallow-eyed shrew… she will definitely understand her feelings.
The King of Zhennan nodded decisively and said, “Just bet!” He didn’t believe it!
