In Shufang Palace, Concubine Yigui smiled openly, looking at the two people at the desk. Fan Xian was staring at Li Chengping copying the book. Not many people in the palace cared about the content of the book, but the key lies in the wording, the key lies in the teacher-student relationship between Fan Xian and Li Chengping.
Concubine Yigui is not a powerful nobleman who is good at calculating. On the contrary, in this gloomy palace, she has always maintained the openness and openness of Huanghua's girlhood. Because of her purity and sincerity, she is favored by His Majesty. The third prince was born.
Judging from the Qing Emperor's style of not caring about men and women, after the empress gave birth to the crown prince, I am afraid that she is not ready to have another child at all. From this, it can be seen that Yigui's disposition really mirrors that of the emperor.
Even the rest of the palace is the same. I always feel that this noble concubine from the Liu family is full of energy, charming and lively all day long, making people feel at ease just looking at her. The alternative in the palace, but her alternative is more likable.
Therefore, even though the empress dowager was not very close to the third prince due to the influence of the relatives of the Liu family's Fan family, she did not have any bad words for the concubine Yigui. The intention of harming others is the result of the palace's silent efforts over the past ten years.
But she is unwilling to make calculations and has no intention of harming others. It doesn't mean that Concubine Yigui really doesn't have plans in her chest. Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken advantage of Fan Xian's chance to save the third prince and asked the third prince to worship Fan Xian. As a teacher, and opened up all the resources in Shufang Palace to Fan Xian.
She knew the importance of Fan Xian to the Shufang Palace, so she always deliberately wins over when there is no one else. The royal family always keeps a strict eye on foreign relatives, but Fan Xian has a complicated identity between foreign relatives, courtiers, and the royal family. Fang Gong was in contact with Fan Xian, and the people in the palace couldn't say much.
——The more stable Fan Xian's position in the court, the more stable the position of Shufang Palace in the emperor's heart.
Only when thinking about Fan Xian's power and family occasionally, Concubine Yigui would always be a little surprised. His Majesty the Emperor spoiled his illegitimate child too much.
Because Fan Xian is extremely favored, it's not that Concubine Yigui has never been vigilant against a certain danger, but that kind of vigilance must never be publicized, so she blindly kept silent and remained cheerful and charming. She didn't really confirm it until Fan Xian returned to the clan. Fan Xian's thoughts were broken, and infinite gratitude surged from the bottom of his heart.
So at this moment, she was extremely pleased to see Fan Xian sitting side by side with her son at the desk.
…
…
"I heard that you met someone on the corridor at the back of the hall earlier."
Xing'er, concubine Yigui's close maid, received a rumor in the palace, and hurriedly told her master. Concubine Yigui's heart moved slightly, and she gently moved Fan Xian to the side room, opened her eyes, and asked seriously.
Fan Xian rubbed his sore fingers, and said with a smile: "That servant Hong Zhu, is becoming more and more presumptuous now. He is not polite when he sees me, and he looks at the road with his nostrils when he walks. I will teach him a lesson on behalf of His Majesty." one time."
Look at the road with your nostrils, this is a funny and playful description, and Concubine Yigui couldn't help laughing, but then she stopped her smile and said softly: "Little Eunuch Hong is now a celebrity in the palace, the chief eunuch of the East Palace, Moreover, His Majesty seems to love him very much, and is going to let him return to the imperial study."
She took a look at Fan Xian. Everyone in the palace had clearly traced Hong Zhu's promotion history through their own channels. They all knew that Hong Zhu was working in the imperial study, and when he was about to climb up, it was Fan Xian. A recital made by him caused Hong Zhu to lose his job and was driven to the East Palace.
Concubine Yigui knew that Fan Xian and Hong Zhu were not on the right track, but now that Hong Zhu had climbed up again in the East Palace, His Majesty seemed to regret the actions back then, so she had to remind Fan Xian that such a great eunuch, although he Don't be afraid, but as a foreign minister, you must always guard against the evil winds of these eunuchs in the palace.
Fan Xian shook his head and said with a sneer, "How can it be so easy for such a little servant who allows his brother to dominate the people's property to return to the imperial study?"
After thinking about it for a while, she said softly: "Why do you bother with a servant? If he really goes back to the imperial study, the two sides will have deep grievances, and I'm afraid it will be inconvenient... Besides, there are rumors in the palace that this little eunuch Hong is Who is your father-in-law, you are a courtier after all."
The eunuchs in the Qing Kingdom have always had little status. Since the founding of the country, eunuchs have been strictly prohibited from interfering in government affairs. The mild ones were expelled from the palace, and the severe ones died on the spot. It’s just that in the decades since the founding of the country, there are always one or two outliers, and they have always rested outside the Hanguang Palace The old eunuch Hong was naturally such a special person.
This old eunuch has stayed in the palace for an unknown number of years, and he has won the trust of the Queen Mother and His Majesty, and he is also an extremely mysterious and strong man. If Hong Zhu was really the old eunuch Hong, I'm afraid Fan Xian would be a bit afraid, but of course Fan Xian knew the reason and couldn't help laughing, but it was impossible to tell Concubine Yigui, so he could only smile. Said: "Auntie, don't worry about it, I have my own measure."
Concubine Yigui saw that he didn't care, so she couldn't help persuading him a few more words, but seeing no effect, she resignedly went to the back bed, and talked to this stubborn child of her mother's family again lazily.
Fan Xian leaned over to the third child's table and said a few words, then left Shufang Palace under the reluctant eyes of the third child.
Today Wan'er was going to stay overnight in the Empress Dowager's Hanguang Palace. She didn't know how many days she would stay here. Fan Xian and his wife entered the palace, but they had to go back alone. , looking at the blurred shadow behind her, feeling very unhappy. On the one hand, she felt that Wan'er was really favored by the royal family, and on the other hand, she was cursing secretly. The young couple also reunited after a long absence.
He walked out of the palace full of displeasure, but seeing His Highness looking at him with a smile that was not a smile, he couldn't help saying angrily: "Since the founding of the country, there are not many people who are the commander of the imperial army and the minister of guards like you every day. The gate of the palace... this is not a time for marching and fighting, this is a time of peace and prosperity, guarding the gate of the palace, who are you going to laugh at?"
The eldest prince suppressed his smile, snorted coldly, and said, "What jokes do you have to read? Do you think it would be embarrassing for Miss Chen not to go back home with you? Don't forget, my sister grew up in the palace since she was a child. Already forgot about that."
After Fan Xian returned to Beijing, he met the eldest prince two or three times, but there were always outsiders around him, so it was hard to talk privately, and although under the kind care of Chen Pingping and Ning Cairen, the two brothers had already formed an unspoken bond. Form an alliance, but after all, the position of the eldest prince is different. He is the elder brother of all the princes, and he does not want to see His Royal Highness and the second child being played down step by step by Fan Xian, so there is still some estrangement between the two. .
"I won't talk to you today, I'm in a hurry to go back home to handle business." Fan Xian looked at the expression of the eldest prince, and knew that this military general and political virgin was going to say something to him, and waved his hands repeatedly.
The eldest prince reprimanded in a deep voice: "I don't plan to teach you about girl Chen today, but what is the woman to the north of you going to do with it?"
Fan Xian was taken aback, only then did he realize that it was another household chore, he couldn't help but smiled wryly, and said, "Your Highness, this is a servant's household chore. Since Wan'er is married to me, you don't need to worry about it anymore." gone."
At first, he was slightly jealous of the closeness between the eldest prince and Wan'er, but now he took the opportunity and coldly fought back.
The eldest prince was furious, suppressed his anger forcibly, and said: "Who bothers to care about you? It's just that the princess said that you haven't come to sit in the palace after the year. Let me ask you if you don't plan to come."
The princess is naturally the Northern Qi Princess who was personally escorted south by Fan Xian. Fan Xian rubbed his head and said, "Your Highness's residence, of course I am going, probably in the day after tomorrow."
Seeing that he agreed, the eldest prince nodded and ignored him. Fan Xian suddenly thought of Yichun, and said, "I'll bring Hongcheng along."
The eldest prince was slightly surprised, he glanced at him twice, thinking that that kid Hongcheng was grounded because of you
Fan Xian didn't explain, but just frowned and said, "Speaking of which, do you still want the house in Yangonion Alley? A majestic princess of the Hu family can't just leave it in the yard to get moldy?"
The eldest prince was suffocated and was speechless for a long while.
Looking at this scene, Fan Xian confirmed that on the way back to the capital from the Western Expeditionary Army, His Royal Highness must have had countless stories with that Hu princess Ma Suosuo, but it was not good to stab each other again. After arching his hands, he got into the black carriage.
…
…
After returning to Fan Mansion, he entered the most secret study room in the triangular area of the garden, and confirmed that there were no eyes and ears around. Even the Tiger Guard and the emperor's servant who was buried in Fan Mansion were far away from this study room. Only then did Fan Xian spread his legs apart and lay comfortably on the low couch. He put a pair of feet wearing pure wool socks made in the inner library facing the door of the study room, let the heat steam up, and made his sore feet happy. .
The boots lay under the couch.
The note was already in his hand.
No one knows about his relationship with Hong Zhu, not even Chen Pingping and his father, even Su Wenmao, who personally handled the Yingzhou incident, doesn't know that he is avenging Hong Zhu, so he can't guess In this regard, Hong Zhu can be said to be the deepest nail Fan Xian buried in the palace.
It was also because of this that the two parties did not dare to take the risk of establishing a conventional intelligence system, and it was difficult for Hong Zhu to pass any news out of the palace.
Of course, the general news in the palace is handled by the eunuchs Yigui and Fan Xian who have made good friends, so they are not afraid of being ignorant. Since Hong Zhu took the risk to pass the news to him, then this news is worthy of attention, not to mention the trace of fear seen by Hong Zhu when he entered the palace years ago, which made Fan Xian a little curious about the content of this note.
…
…
Fan Xian looked at the note, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly. When he saw the end, he couldn't suppress the horror in his heart, and sat up directly from the couch!
When he first read the note, he still didn't take it seriously, thinking that Hong Zhu was taking too much risk, but at the end, he finally understood the hidden meaning of Hong Zhu's words, and he was so scared that he couldn't lie down anymore.
The note was written in a very simple way. The names of the specific characters were also used in some cryptic terms that Fan Xian had discussed with Hong Zhu at the beginning. Fan Xian understood it very clearly.
The first paragraph is about a strange habit of the prince when he is in bed. He always likes to lift up the clothes of the maids and concubines, cover their heads, and only expose their naked lower body.
In the second paragraph, the handwriting was a little trembling, and it was obvious that Hong Zhu was also afraid when he wrote it.
It said that during the year Fan Xian left the capital, the crown prince's health gradually improved, and the disease of willows and flowers seemed to have been cured, but the habit of intercourse remained unchanged, and there were a few times when the crown prince drank a little bit drunk. , vaguely listening to the moment of ecstasy, shouted the word aunt.
aunt
aunt!
If it is limited to these two paragraphs, Fan Xian can only use this information to confirm that His Highness the Crown Prince has unlimited imaginations about the beautiful face and perfect body of His Highness the Eldest Princess. For Fan Xian, it was really nothing.
What really scared Fan Xian to jump up from the couch was the third paragraph written in Hong Zhu's letter, which was only one sentence.
He said that in the past few months, the prince has rarely been close to the maids and concubines in the East Palace, and he is in good spirits.
…
…
It's very simple. Even the last sentence, which is considered boring by ordinary people, scares Fan Xian very much. Although this piece of paper is written in a taboo manner, in the eyes of caring people, they still know who they are talking about. Hong Zhu must have seen it. What, or heard something, but dare not write on paper at all...
aunt? Fan Xian hurriedly walked around the study room several times, his lips were a little dry, and finally stood still before the collapse, rubbed his hands together and destroyed the piece of paper, his face was extremely strange, and after a long time, he cursed in a low voice: " You fucking think you are Yang Guo!"
Fan Xian is stupid, he is completely stupid, although Mr. Jin and Mr. Dumas have taught him that the two dirtiest places in the world are palaces and brothels, and the history of his previous life has also been given to him with the words "dirty Tang stinky man" Some psychological construction, but he, the owner of the largest brothel in the Qing Kingdom, still couldn't help being dumbfounded and shocked when he really knew the things in the palace!
He walked to the table and drank a cup of cold tea, extinguishing the shock and sense of absurdity in his heart, and finally calmed down. He finally knew where Hong Zhu's fear came from. Anyone who knows For such a **** story that cannot be tolerated by the world, the first reaction is the fear of being killed and silenced.
At the same time, he also knew why the prince had been so calm recently, so confident. It turned out that... he was sure that the eldest princess would really abandon the second prince and support him instead.
But... what if the eldest princess is playing with the Prince's Palace
Fan Xian suddenly thought of this, shook his head immediately, and slapped himself lightly. What was he thinking about such a big matter? Do you still have to think about the second child? It is true that I must get the most benefit from this news.
But he still couldn't help but see the scene in Guangxin Palace, and couldn't help shivering.
He really felt uncomfortable. On the one hand, he was inexplicably worthless for the eldest princess. How could the number one beauty in the Qing Dynasty, a peerless beauty who hadn't shown any signs of fading, use her body as a weapon? Even though there have been rumors that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has raised many face heads, Fan Xian still subconsciously does not want to believe this.
The second reason for my displeasure is that, no matter what, the eldest princess is my mother-in-law, and the little bastard, the prince, actually has an affair with his mother-in-law. What about my old father-in-law hat in Wuzhou? Myself... what the hell is it!
Fan Xian stood by the table and clenched his fists slightly, feeling an unreasonable anger in his heart. It was obviously a piece of news that he could make a big fuss about and directly bring down the prince, but it didn't make him happy at all. , I always feel that I have been taken advantage of by the prince.
At the same time, he was also a little annoyed at Hong Zhu's audacity. He didn't know if the little eunuchs who were kneeling on the ground saw a piece of the paper that was stepped on under the boots. It is also difficult for Xian to keep him.
He was silent at the table for a long time, finally got rid of the absurd feeling of failure and anger, took two deep breaths, and decided to make good use of this shocking news.
only…
If you can't talk to Hong Zhu face to face, if you start from the inside of the palace, there is no way to maximize the impact of this matter, and it is impossible to let the eight departments of the Overwatch Council go to the market to spread rumors.
The eldest princess had an affair with the prince? Fan Xian didn't want to risk His Majesty's wrath, the Empress Dowager's embarrassment, and the risk of checking the Overwatch Council to throw out these rumors. He had to let the Emperor or the Empress Dowager discover this scandal in the court himself!
He made up his mind to make a good plan, and at the same time, before leaving Beijing, he and Hong Zhu agreed on all the details of the plan's implementation.
When it comes to words such as plans and conspiracies, Fan Xian, who is good at sniping and small tricks, does not have much confidence. He immediately thought of his most capable assistant, the young man in white clothes, so he immediately walked out of the study and directly put on the clothes. After getting into the carriage in the back garden, he didn't even hear the sound of the announcement from the front house of Fan's mansion.
—————————————
The carriage drove to the gray and black square building of the Overwatch Council, and Fan Xian jumped out of the carriage in a hurry, his leather boots slamming on the snow piled up on both sides of Tianhe Avenue.
Walking all the way to the courtyard, the Overwatch Council officials bumped into them head-on, saluted and gave way with shock on their faces. Seeing Lord Tisi's gloomy face and hurried steps, these officials were all thinking in their hearts that some important person in Beijing is going to be unlucky again.
Pushing the door open and entering the secret room, I was not surprised to see a young official in plain thick clothes sitting behind the table next to the black cloth by the window. In the entire Overwatch Council, I don’t like to wear official uniforms, and I have the right not to wear official uniforms. Yes, only the current four bosses, the authorized agent of the Overwatch Council, Yan Bingyun, and Mr. Xiaoyan.
Fan Xian threw the lotus robe on the chair, closed the door, frowned at the black cloth on the window, walked directly to the window, and tore off the black cloth.
The light from the outside sky and the reflection of the remaining snow suddenly poured into the gloomy room, making it bright. The sudden intensification of the light caused Yan Bingyun's eyes to be stabbed, and he subconsciously raised his hand to block it.
"You're not Dean Chen." Fan Xian frowned and said, "There's no need to hide yourself in the dark all the time."
Yan Bingyun put his hand down, and shook his head helplessly. This piece of black cloth has been placed on the window of this secret room for many years, and it has become the most unique scenery of the Overwatch Council. Who would dare to touch it easily? Only the chief executive would not take Dean Chen's intentions to heart.
Fan Xian looked at Yan Bingyun's pale face and haggard expression, and couldn't help but shook his head. Chen Pingping doesn't take much care of the current Overwatch Council, and she doesn't bother to take care of it. Everything is piled on Yan Bingyun alone. Look at him With this appearance, Fan Xian felt a little apologetic for not getting a good night's sleep for many days.
He walked to the window, squinted at the imperial city in the distance, and said, "What does the dean mean by covering it with such a black cloth?"
Yan Bingyun didn't speak.
Fan Xian looked at the majestic palace city in the distance, and suddenly had some doubts about his decision to come to the Overwatch Council to find Yan Bingyun. That matter involved the dignity of the royal family and the future of the Qing Kingdom, and Mr. Xiao Yan always acted in the interest of the court. as the highest standard.
He turned his head and glanced at Yan Bingyun, he really didn't dare to take the risk.
…
…
(There are two flaws, the previous two idle words were wrong, it should be that Chen Pingping is older than the emperor, and Prince Jing is older than Yunrui, but a little older, I apologize with a shy face.
Regarding the issue of the crown prince not entering the prince sequence, I have set it like this before. As for whether this setting is good or not, it is another matter. It’s just that I like to play like this, and it doesn’t exist at all. With regard to the prince's question, there are only four counts in total, and I have five fingers, so I can count them... Maybe it's unreasonable, but I don't care.
Besides, Li Yunrui, as I said before, Yunrui gave birth to Wan'er at fifteen... When the Kyoto incident happened, Yunrui was only twelve or thirteen years old. I think all little girls are pure pearls.
As for Prince Jing's talk about hide-and-seek, it was just nonsense. Of course, something as big as that could not be overheard by playing hide-and-seek in the palace. As the royal family, the difficulty of Prince Jing is that he is the most helpless person. He only reminds Fan Xian about the Qin family, but it is impossible to tell Fan Xian everything.
... Prince Jing just needed a reason to tell Fan Xian, and Fan Xian accepted this reason knowingly. A smart person should not ask too many questions. I wrote this very carefully, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Prince Jing is not very old now, and some friends said that it doesn’t match the impression of the old flower farmer at first, and it doesn’t feel right. That’s another problem I set up. In the beginning, I wanted to write about such a decadent prince who lost his first love early. Just indulge in sensuality, give birth early, give birth early, give birth early, and give birth to old age early
... It can be seen from this that men should cherish their affection and essence, and everyone should not fall in love early.
There must be a lot of flaws in the book, this must be admitted, but I just admit it... I am afraid that I will not have time to correct it. After all, I am not writing a thesis. I don't have the ability and energy. I have to write every day, which is very hard. Please be considerate, thank you very much, thank you for your corrections and understanding all the time.
After writing so much nonsense, it would be a bit stupid not to solicit votes. I stretch out my right hand, love China, love monthly tickets, please vote monthly!
PS: This paragraph does not count the number of words.
Another PS: This chapter was originally intended to be called Shocking Secrets, but later I felt that it was too boring, although I was very awkward in the first place.
Another PS: The Philips color TV that has been with the family for 14 years in my living room is finally useless. Am I habitually crying poor
