"Your Majesty, it's time for Miss Yu to enter the mansion." Zhang Wanyin took the tea from the maid and brought it to Feng Lanxiu in person, with a generous and decent look on her face.
do not like."
Yu Lizhu is the empress's most beloved niece, so even Prince Duan's palace cannot keep a close eye on her.
Feng Lanxiu stretched out his hand and pressed his eyebrows. He really felt irritated. Things in the house were going on and on, and now was actually not the best time to let Yu Lizhu in.
"Can you please give me some advice? Concubine Yu is in very bad health right now. She can't sleep well either day or night. The imperial doctor told her to rest carefully."
Feng Lanxiu said angrily, "Concubine Xu just passed away. Isn't it too cool to marry the concubine in such a big way?"
Because after going to the backyard, Feng Lanxiu felt that the officials looked at him a little differently.
Although it shows that his behavior with the eldest princess was wrong, after all, Xu Anjiao did have something happen to her, and it happened during her own wedding.
Now when Feng Lanxiu heard about the "marriage", he felt that he couldn't get better.
"Your Majesty, this has been decided by the officials a long time ago. Even if you refuse, it won't last long." Zhang Wanyin discussed with Feng Lanxiu softly, "If Your Majesty really feels that now is not the time, I will go to the palace to ask the Queen for instructions."
, can I decline for half a month?"
Feng Lanxiu frowned, paused and said: "This matter... I will think about it again."
"Your Majesty, if you really want to refuse, I have to enter the palace now. Otherwise, the Yuxiang's Mansion has already been prepared. If our palace says we don't want to marry, the Yuxiang doesn't know what he will think of us." Zhang Wanyin lowered her head and said with an uneasy expression.
, it can be seen that there is some panic.
The object of fear is of course not the Prime Minister, but the Queen.
The queen plays an important role that cannot be ignored.
"Is it appropriate to come in now?" Feng Lanxiu calmed down and asked.
"It's actually not very appropriate to enter now. The prince also said that Concubine Xu is not only the concubine of the palace, but she has just gone there and the palace is marrying the concubine with great fanfare, which is too cool." Zhang Wanyin analyzed for him.
, all stood from Feng Lanxiu’s point of view, and the royal concubine’s dignity and propriety were fully demonstrated.
She is a royal concubine, but she has not yet had a bridal chamber, and it is extremely shameful to say it. She is now in charge of the backyard of Prince Duan's Mansion, but because she has not yet had a bridal chamber with Prince Duan, some of the servants in the mansion are still watching her.
, there are some things that cannot even be ordered directly.
Some things were ordered but not completed immediately.
"What do you think, Princess?" Feng Lanxiu asked after picking up the tea cup and taking a sip.
"Concubine... I have thought about the direction that is most beneficial to the prince, but no matter where you start, Miss Yu's marriage cannot be too big." Zhang Wanyin said gently.
This said in Feng Lanxiu's mind. Xu Anjiao was mourned. It would be really inappropriate for him to marry again. Even now, during the wedding of the principal concubine, the red in some places had been removed. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
It's just Yu Yuxi and Princess Duan in front of me.
"I can't help you." Feng Lanxiu looked at Zhang Wanyin and said gently.
Zhang Wanyin's eyes suddenly turned red, but then she turned her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "My lord, please don't say that. You are Prince Duan, and I am the princess. I am one and the same with you, no matter where I go."
I have to consider it for you. I have entered Prince Duan’s Mansion, which is Prince Duan’s Mansion, and I am the prince’s helper.”
Zhang Wanyin's words are as general as ever, and one can't say anything bad about them.
Feng Lanxiu nodded: "It is my blessing that the princess thinks so. From now on, the princess will be in charge of the inner courtyard of the palace for me. No matter which concubine is, if she commits something wrong, the princess will not care. I will always be by my side."
It can only be the princess, other people... are different from the princess."
Feng Lanxiu's words contained a lot of meaning, which made people feel comfortable. Zhang Wanyin showed a smile on her face, "Your Majesty, I understand that I will always put Your Majesty first, in the past, now and in the future."
Too!"
Feng Lanxiu reached out to hold her hand and patted it comfortingly: "I will spend the night at your place tonight, and we will have a good talk about Yu Lizhu."
Zhang Wanyin was stunned at first, then overjoyed, her face suddenly flushed, her voice was a little less dignified, a little more shy, her head was slightly lowered, and her voice was very soft: "Your Majesty, I understand."
She would not be considered a true Princess Duan without the bridal chamber.
"I feel sorry for you." Feng Lanxiu said with a smile.
"For the sake of the prince, I will not suffer any grievances. I am willing to do anything for the prince." Zhang Wanyin reiterated again.
Feng Lanxiu stood up: "You take a rest for a while. You are tired these days. I will go to the study to handle some official business."
"Farewell to the prince." Zhang Wanyin was just a shy little girl now. She stood up with a slightly red face and took a few steps outside.
Suddenly he said: "Your Majesty, if Concubine Yu sends someone to find my concubine, will I ask her to come to the prince?"
"No need. If something happens to Concubine Yu, the concubine will handle it herself. If she can't handle it, she will send someone to find the king." Feng Lanxiu pressed his eyebrows. He had paid too much attention to Yu Yuxi in the past few days. In fact, Xu Anjiao
The aftermath of his death has not yet been settled.
Besides, if something really happens, you can just go to the imperial doctor. It won't be of much use if you go there yourself.
Hearing what Feng Lanxiu said, Zhang Wanyin smiled slightly, nodded and stepped aside.
After Feng Lanxiu left, Zhang Wanyin raised her head and looked in the direction of Yu Yuxi's yard. There was a coldness in her eyes. They must check, but she didn't believe that there was really no trace.
"Your Majesty, are you going to prepare anything?" the maid asked in a low voice, full of joy. If the princess doesn't consummate her marriage in one day, the servants in the house will say more than the princess will hear.
The position of the princess was unstable because of Concubine Yu.
"Get ready a little bit." Zhang Wanjian smiled, raised his legs and walked inside, "Continue to call people over for questioning."
The maid took a few steps closer and asked, "Princess, is it true that nothing can be found?"
The investigation has been carried out for several days, but still nothing has been found. In fact, it is not only the princess who is investigating, but also the Dali Temple, but nothing can be found.
"Continue to inquire." Zhang Wanyin sat down in the middle of the main room, and the corners of his lips curled up silently, "First from our house, and then from Xuanping Hou's house."
The maid was startled, hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly: "Princess...you...how do you check the Xuanping Hou Mansion?"
No matter how capable my princess is, she is only the princess of Prince Duan's palace.
"If I don't want to investigate, I can let Yu Xijiao investigate." Zhang Wanyin said disapprovingly, "Since Yu Xijiao agreed to my first request, of course she will also agree to the second."
If there is one, there are two. She doesn't believe that Yu Xijiao is not involved. This sounds like it is good for her, but it is not good for Yu Xijiao. It seems to be a win-win situation.
Yu Xijiao has retreated now. If she can take one step back, she can push forward ninety-nine steps. In the end, everything will be hers...
In the study, Li Xian is already waiting there. He is here today on behalf of the Yangshan Marquis Mansion, and also on behalf of the Seventh Princess.
Feng Lanxiu is the eldest brother of the seventh princess.
Li Xian was dressed plainly and came for a funeral. There would be lunch at Prince Duan's Mansion later. Although Prince Duan's Mansion didn't have any big events this time due to weddings and weddings, some people who were close to him still wanted to be invited. Of course, some people couldn't shirk it.
Come on, not many people actually stay for lunch.
Li Xian is not too eye-catching.
With the name of the Seventh Princess's consort, it seemed natural that Li Xian came here specially. After all, I heard that the Seventh Princess had the best relationship with Prince Duan, and among the several brothers, he was the closest to Prince Duan.
Because of this, many people were secretly more optimistic about King Duan, thinking that this was the Queen's intention.
Some of the people who came here to eat the funeral banquet today, some came early and went out of their way to deliver them, while some came late and came here specially to eat the funeral banquet.
The mourners have not returned yet, but some people who came here specially to use the funeral mats did come. King Duan had a distinguished status and did not entertain guests outside. Li Xian's identity among these people, and because of the relationship with the Seventh Princess, made people even more worried.
It was appropriate to take it seriously and be led inside by the steward of Prince Duan's Mansion.
Even if it wasn't for the sake of the Yangshan Marquis Mansion, for the sake of the Seventh Princess, King Duan had to give him a high look.
Hearing the movement at the door, Li Xian put down the tea cup in his hand and stood up. Feng Lanxiu strode in. Li Xian smiled slightly and saluted respectfully.
"You're welcome, Your Majesty." Feng Lanxiu waved his hand.
A chamberlain followed and stood behind him. Another chamberlain served tea and then stepped aside. Li Xian's servant also retreated outside the door.
Feng Lanxiu took a sip of water and put down the teacup.
"Your Majesty, have you found anything?" Li Xian asked after seeing him put down his tea cup.
Feng Lanxiu shook his head: "I didn't find anything. I asked the people at the door of Dali Temple. There were so many people coming and going that day. There were a lot of maids and mothers coming and going. There were so many from all the houses. The servants at the door couldn't remember.
So much to live in.”
The most difficult place to find out about this matter is here. If it were in the past, there would be no way it could not be found out.
It happened that it was my wedding day, and there were so many people coming to greet the guests that the servants couldn't remember them, let alone a mother-in-law, even some ordinary masters.
"Where is it in the palace?" Li Xian looked thoughtful, "Concubine Xu couldn't have thrown herself into the lake by herself."
Feng Lanxiu's breathing quickened for a few times, then he gritted his teeth and said firmly: "It's impossible for her."
With Xu Anjiao's temperament, she would never wrong herself even if she wronged others. If she was really allowed to do such a thing, something would happen to the entire Prince Duan's palace, and she would have no chance of survival.
Under normal circumstances, Xu Anjiao would cut off other people's lives.
"Your Majesty, it's impossible for Concubine Xu to have an accident on her own, so there are two possibilities." Li Xian silently held his hands and said slowly.
"You said." Feng Lanxiu asked.
"One is the matter in the inner court. It really has something to do with the princess, or the concubine Yu, and of course it may also have something to do with the second girl Yu." Li Xian analyzed.
"Yu Lizhu hasn't married yet." Feng Lanxiu reminded after a pause.
