When we returned to the Princess Mansion, the sky had already turned dark.
Yun Zishu looked up at the sky, where a bright moon hung high: "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight. Sicang, I don't have enough energy to enjoy the moon at the eldest princess's mansion. I will ask Leng Yue to prepare some moon cakes and scented tea later. Let's have a good time tonight."
Enjoy the moon."
Si Cang snorted.
"There will be a beautiful man in my palace soon..." Yun Zishu turned her head and looked at Sicang, raising her lips playfully, "Sicang, what are you thinking at this time?"
Sicang pursed his thin lips slightly: "Will His Highness fall in love with him?"
Hearing this, Yun Zishu muttered: "Mr. An was born as beautiful as a flower, and I feel pity for him..."
Si Cang's expression tightened and he pursed his lips unconsciously.
"But what I like is a man who is unparalleled in strength." Yun Zishu raised a smile on her lips, looked at Sicang's nervous expression, raised her eyebrows, and had a sly smile in her eyes, "So she probably won't like him."
Si Cang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that he was too restless. After adjusting his mentality, he lowered his eyes slightly and said, "I don't have any ideas about that humble position."
Leng Yue and Leng Shuang looked up at the full moon in the sky, secretly sighing that the moon was so round and the air was so sweet.
Ever since the Xiao family was ransacked, their highness's mood was getting better and better day by day, and she joked more and more, making people suddenly realize that she was actually still a little girl waiting to bloom.
She was infamous outside and hated by the world, but when she returned home, she turned out to be a smart, wise, and thoughtful woman. The pressure between her eyebrows and eyes was the natural magnanimity that a royal princess should have. Her words and deeds were all out of line, she was fair in her actions, and her rewards and punishments were clear.
Be broad-minded and tolerant of others, and have an open mind and a big picture.
Leng Yue felt that the world's people were short-sighted and misunderstood the princess deeply. They only saw the most superficial aspects of people and things and were unwilling to understand the truth. They only believed what they wanted to believe. They were really ignorant.
However, there is nothing wrong with a little more misunderstanding. It just makes people less defensive about His Highness.
The more they underestimate the enemy, the easier it will be for His Highness to plan the plan.
After returning to the dormitory to take a simple bath, Yun Zishu changed into comfortable light blue clothes. The maids had already set up tables and chairs in the courtyard. The tables were fully stocked with fruits, snacks, scented tea, and essential tea.
moon cake.
"It's much more comfortable to stay in your own place than in other people's homes." Yun Zishu sat down at the table and looked up at the sky, "Even the moon looks a bit more beautiful."
Leng Yue nodded: "My subordinates think so too."
"The moon is full tonight. You don't have to wait on me. Get some moon cakes and scented tea, and find a place to enjoy the moon by yourself." Yun Zishu said, "I and Sicang will be alone for a while."
Leng Yue joked: "Yes! I will not disturb Her Highness the Princess from whispering to the Commander."
Yun Zishu ignored her teasing. She used to occasionally say, "This Leng Yue is getting more and more unruly." Later, she learned that Sicang would take this sentence seriously and might even really throw Leng Yue away.
After going to the Shadow Pavilion for retraining, Yun Zishu felt that there was no need to take risks and challenge Sicang's methods.
"My father said that he wanted to grant a marriage, but the imperial edict has never been issued." Yun Zishu pondered, "On the other hand, the eldest princess Jinning has been making frequent moves, which makes me unable to keep quiet even if I want to."
Princess Jinning was standing up for Wu Jingyi and tried to prevent Yun Zishu from marrying Wu Yuxiao by any means, but they always felt that they could predict the will of the Holy Spirit.
Doesn't the emperor know what kind of person his daughter is?
Even if she didn't know it before, she has learned it clearly during this time. Yun Zishu's reputation has long been unspeakable. If the marriage had been granted in the past, Taifu Wu could have fought against the emperor - if the prince had not had an affair with Concubine Lian, Concubine Wu had not been
If you demote it.
With Taifu Wu's weight in front of the emperor, and with his status as the emperor's highly respected teacher for so many years, he could clearly decline the emperor's idea of proposing a marriage. However, the emperor deliberately chose a situation that he could not refuse, and even used threats to force him to do so.
He agreed.
Under this situation, even if Yun Zishu really raised a male favorite, which was disgraceful and her reputation was ruined, as long as the emperor thought she could marry Wu Yuxiao, the Wu family would still have no room for objection.
After all, their wealth and glory rested on Concubine Wu and the Crown Prince, while the fate of the Crown Prince and Concubine Wu was in the hands of the emperor.
So the result can be imagined, the matter of granting marriage depends only on the emperor.
But Princess Jinning obviously didn't think so.
So tonight's plan seemed to Yun Zishu to be a useless effort.
"Anli is a person who can be used." Yun Zishu picked up the teacup and said in a calm voice, "Princess Jinning wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, but she didn't know who the knife would kill in the end. Based on Anli's life in the An family these years
The days and the grievances he suffered, I don’t believe that he is really willing to be used by Yun Zijiao, unless there is an exchange of benefits."
But the benefits Yun Zijiao can promise him must come from Princess Jinning, and what Princess Jinning can give, Yun Zishu can also give, and can make Anli a hundred times better than before.
"I asked Leng Shuang to investigate An Li." Sicang said, "As long as he is available, it will not be difficult to make him use His Highness."
Yun Zishu sighed softly: "Wu Jingyi made so many moves because she was afraid that marrying her brother would ruin her brother's life, but she didn't ask whether I could like her brother."
It's really pretentious and used in the wrong way.
"Your Highness is very good." Si Cang raised his eyes, his gaze fell heavily on her face, the color in his eyes was gentle and tolerant, "The world is short-sighted, Your Highness does not need to care about their opinions."
Yun Zishu didn't care what those people thought. She even felt that those people should look down on her. The lower they looked down on her, the better. The more people underestimated their enemies, the easier it was for them to make big mistakes. This was an eternal truth.
"Sicang, you are the only one in this world who has a sharp eye and knows pearls." Yun Zishu smiled with her eyes bright, "This is enough."
At that moment, Sicang's usually stern face melted slightly like ice and snow melting, his eyes were very bright, and his usually calm and dull eyebrows gradually opened up, and he couldn't stop smiling.
"Pay attention to maintaining your image of being cold and taciturn." Yun Zishu reminded lightly, then picked up the tea cup in front of her and took a sip of scented tea. "Those who achieve great things must be able to keep their joy and anger invisible."
Si Cang hummed softly, but the corners of his mouth were still raised.
Everyone in the world is blind, but he is the only one who can discern pearls.
This feeling... is pretty good.
It was as if she was just his treasure and not allowed to be touched by others. It made him feel that his whole heart was filled to the brim, with an indescribable joy and fulfillment.
