"His Royal Highness Prince Yu will be getting married in three days. Do you want to attend?"
He knew very well what Zhou Yu's intentions were when he became friends with him. Over the years, the two of them had maintained the appearance of being brothers and respectful brothers. There was no reason for him not to go with Zhou Yu to marry his wife.
"Marriage is a means to expand power. I don't know what Prime Minister Shen's plan is."
Zhou Zhan said with a smile: "In this marriage, there are two princesses in Mr. Boge's house. There is a principal concubine and a side concubine in Prime Minister Shen's house. Mr. Baoge is the weakest. The marriage between Bao's house and Fifth Brother is Completely divide Bao Mansion into the fifth brother's camp."
"The remaining two powers are equally divided. My father will not allow any prince to become powerful and use marriage to test the power of powerful ministers. Can't Shen Panxing see through my father's plan?"
"Even if he promises to support us, how sincere can he be? We can preserve our strength and continue to stand by and watch."
Sappan should be.
"Tomorrow, you can go to the Si Mansion on my behalf to deliver a message."
…
There are too many bad habits in the Jinyi Guards. Si Yiluo has to personally deal with everything. He has also encountered several major cases and is very busy with official duties.
Shen Moran rushed out early in the morning. He didn't sleep well last night. He lay on the table with two dark circles under his eyes. He looked at the bill for a while and his eyes were swollen. He just lay down and squinted for a while.
Er Qiao ran over holding a box.
"Miss Shen, just now a young man came to give a gift. His surname seems to be Su. He didn't say what the reason was. He just put the box down and left. He said he would know when Mr. Si comes back and sees the contents inside."
Shen Moran opened the box and found a red silk handkerchief inside, with two cantaloupes wrapped in the silk handkerchief.
She looked at it for a long time and asked doubtfully: "What else did the person say?"
Er Qiao shook his head.
"Nothing said."
The surname is Su...it can't be Su Mu, right?
Zhou Zhan’s show of goodwill?
What did Aluo do last night?
When Si Yiluo came back at noon, Shen Moran brought the box up and asked, "What does Zhou Zhan mean by asking people to send these things?"
There are two melons wrapped in a red handkerchief. What kind of riddle are they playing?
Si Yiluo took out the cantaloupe and asked Bi Tao to wash it and cut it into pieces before handing her a piece.
"I went to ask him last night who he was cooperating with...he came to give me the answer today. The red color represents the middle palace, melons, sow melons and you will get melons and sow beans and you will get beans. It is probably His Highness King Chen, who is on good terms with King Chen. Yes, there is also King Chang."
"Last time His Royal Highness King Zhan fell into the water and was assassinated in Sacred Heart Lake, the people below found out that Gong Xichun had contacts with Zhou Chang, but there was no evidence to prove that it was Zhou Chang who instigated it. The same is true this time. If Gong Xichun was Zhou Chang, As a prosperous person, it is expected that he will use this matter to show off his talents."
Shen Moran thought back to her previous life.
"The battle between King Rong and King Chen ended in defeat for both sides, and this gave Zhou Chang and Zhou Yu a chance. Now that we know their ambitions, we need to make arrangements in advance."
There are too many doubts in the case, so Si Yiluo has left it to the people below to investigate. How to close the case depends on what the people below can find.
"how do you want to do it?"
Si Yiluo and Shen Moran were good at different things. Shen Moran spread white paper on the table.
"King Chen considers himself noble and thinks highly of himself. King Rong treats virtuous people and cherishes his feathers. Zhou Chang is good at instigating others and using the help of others to eradicate dissidents. Zhou Yu is good at disguising and hiding his ambitions. If he exposes Zhou Chang in front of King Chen How about letting the other three people see Zhou Yu's true face and his ambition?"
Si Yiluo said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it won't be easy. Zhou Chang is good at deceiving people, and Zhou Yu will not reveal his ambition easily."
Shen Moran sneered: "The Zhou family is naturally suspicious. Everyone has a million or so minds. We don't need to show all the evidence. We just need to make them suspicious..."
The ancestors of the Zhou family had a history of suspicion, which Si Yiluo did not deny.
"Zhou Yu will get married in three days, let's set up a game..."
Shen Moran's eyes sparkled with light, Zhou Yu, you were unkind in your last life, don't blame me for being unjust in this life!
The twenty-fifth day of the seventh month is the day to get married and have children.
The wedding team rushed into Prince Yu's Mansion with great fanfare. Si Yiluo arrived early, and the whole house was filled with red.
Wearing festive colors on his body makes Zhou Yu appear more energetic and high-spirited.
Si Yiluo was drinking tea at the banquet, listening to the other princes who came to congratulate him and chatting with each other.
"Isn't the Yamen busy today? It's rare for Mr. Si to have free time, so he came so early!"
The weather at the end of July is perfect. The girl usually wears a crimson official uniform and an official hat, or a flying fish suit and a winged crown given by the emperor. Today she wore a sky-blue singlet, her hair was tied up high, and she wore a hat. A simple filigree silver crown reveals a smooth forehead.
It's less murderous and more feminine.
Zhou Chang opened his mouth to attract everyone's attention, and everyone realized that without the intimidating official uniform, the girl looked generous and heroic.
The servant brought a pot of fruit tea, and Zhou Chang gave Si Yiluo another cup.
There were all male guests in the front yard, and all the distinguished guests in the side hall. Si Yiluo, dressed in women's clothing, mingled among them, which was a bit eye-catching.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
She pursed her lips and smiled without saying another word.
"I apologize for the poor hospitality..."
Zhou Yu saw Si Yiluo at a glance, and Si Yiluo raised his head and smiled at him. Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with surprise, and he was about to step forward, but was entangled by Zhou Chen beside him.
"I'll give you three cups of punishment first!"
The others followed suit, and Zhou Chang kept looking at her in the corner of his eye. Si Yiluo recalled the method Shen Moran taught her, with a hint of sadness on her face. She looked away "lonely" and sat on the chair to continue drinking tea.
I don't know if this method is feasible or not.
Shen Moran used to use some destructive tricks, but she did know Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was a very good observer. He caught a glimpse of her expression from the corner of his eye when he was socializing with others. After getting away, he asked someone to give her a note.
Halfway through the banquet, Si Yiluo stood up and left the banquet.
Zhou Chang raised his brows and followed her back thoughtfully, waiting for her to walk away before he stood up and followed her.
Zhou Chang is very curious, and if he sees something unusual, he will definitely follow him out of curiosity to take a look.
I don’t know who muttered something during the dinner.
"Where are His Highness Prince Chang and Mr. Si? It's time to serve the main course soon. Should we wait for them to come back before using chopsticks?"
Si Yiluo attracts hatred because she has too much power, which makes people fearful and jealous. But at the same time, power is also a double-edged sword. There are many people who want to win her over and fawn over her.
Both Zhou Rong and Zhou Chen had extended an olive branch to her, but only Si Yiluo knew exactly what they had promised.
She and Zhou Chang left the table at the same time, which made people nervous.
Zhou Rong and Zhou Chen had a tacit understanding, and almost at the same time, they whispered to their confidants to leave the table and go find him.
Si Yiluo walked around the house and came to the place mentioned in Zhou Yu's note. It was relatively secluded under the rockery and not far from the banquet. The trees were lush and green, which was perfect for a "tryst".
Zhou Yu sent a servant to wait here.
"Master Si, please wait a moment, my Highness will be here soon."
Si Yiluo looked around. Zhou Chang, who was following him, was hiding behind a tree, and there were two people dressed as guards hiding on both sides of the rockery.
We are used to the methods used by officials. Although these methods of back-house officials are inconspicuous, the results may be better than expected.
"Awaited."
Si Yiluo had heard the footsteps a long time ago and refrained from turning around. When he was embraced by Zhou Yu's long arms that smelled of alcohol, he endured the discomfort in his heart and turned around and said softly: "Congratulations to Your Highness on your wedding."
Zhou Yu drank a lot of wine, his cheeks were red, and he walked a little unsteadily.
Today, when he saw Si Yiluo "dressed up" to attend his wedding and "lost his soul" at his wedding, he suddenly had some other thoughts...
