Because he was worried about Yang Ma and the others, Xu Changan also had no intention of learning to ride horses, and had been in his yard, anxiously waiting for Xiao Qingyan to come back.
After reading the booklet that the princess planned to serve, Butler Zhu wanted to remind the princess that he was too much. He was a virtuous princess. How could he only arrange two days for himself? Even if he was a man, he was afraid that the prince would not like it. Take ten days. However, Butler Zhu did not speak in the end. He expected that his lord would not agree to this arrangement, and also wanted the princess to identify himself through this matter. Sometimes it is not a good thing to despise himself and facilitate others.
If nothing happened in the court, Xiao Qingyan would return to the mansion very early. Xu Changan told the girl to pay attention early, as long as the prince returned to the mansion, he would immediately tell him.
"Princess, the lord is back."
"Let's go to the study, right?" Xiao Qingyan would not go to the backyard first when he returned to the mansion. Hearing from the girls, he would not even go to the backyard once for several days before, and Xu Changan would sometimes think curiously, Xiao Qingyan, how could a big man prefer to sleep in a cold study room rather than go to his concubine? Is there something wrong with his body
"My lord, you seem very happy today." Zhu Quan would follow Xiao Qingyan to the palace every day, but he could only wait outside. He didn't know what happened to the court.
Today, when his prince came down to court, he noticed that the prince was in a good mood today, and he didn't know if something good happened.
"The eyes are good, this king is really in a good mood today." Xiao Qingyan really didn't expect that the matter of the Xu family would have unexpected results.
The officials in the DPRK and China are all sanctimonious, and what they look like when they return home, but only their family members know. As soon as the incident of the Xu family happened, many officials who favored concubines and killed their wives with moral problems were involved in succession, and most of these officials were the power of the successor's family.
Xiao Qingyan has already recognized his own destiny. Although his father has excluded him from the imperial power, he has no complaints against his father. Since he was a child, his father has given too many things, and he really has no resentment.
But! He won't fight for the crown prince again, it doesn't mean that he will stand by and watch from now on. The grievances between him and the successor faction are not overnight, the grievances and grievances have been accumulated over the years. If the second prince succeeds in the future, he will definitely not be as good as him and Qingyu. Now he can only try his best to help Qingyu.
As long as the second prince does not have the support of the forces in the DPRK, there is nothing to be afraid of.
"Your Highness, the Fourth Highness hasn't come to the mansion for a long time, do you want to send someone over to take a look?" Xiao Qingyu has not yet been crowned king, and he is still the youngest son. His temperament is still lazy and casual. He has been living his own little life leisurely, only coming to Xiao Qingyan from time to time to hang out, and now it is true that there are many days that have not come.
"No news is good news, don't worry about him." He said that he didn't care, but Xiao Qingyan was already thinking in his heart, how to catch the unpromising guy back. In the past, he had himself, and he could be the idle prince according to his own wishes, but now he can no longer.
But…
"You go to the mansion of the Fourth Highness in person tomorrow, no matter what method you use, you must bring someone to me." If it really doesn't work, only... If the person who succeeds the throne in the future is King Jing, it will be easier for their brothers. The second prince.
Xiao Qingyan knew in his heart how much weight his younger brother had, and where he was thinking. Now that things have come to this point, he can only talk to him about opening the skylight. If he really wasn't interested in that position and had no intentions at all, he would have to fully support Prince Jing to ascend to the throne.
King Jing's mind is simple, and he has always been on good terms with himself. Concubine Zhou and his mother have no old grudges. If King Jing ascends the throne in the future, he and his younger brother should be able to live a peaceful life.
"Yes, my lord. By the way, my lord, my father brought over the roster that the princess made up today and put it on the table. Did you see it?" When he was a child, he still couldn't react a little, but it took a while to react, which is what he should be. In the past, the lord didn't get married, and he didn't even have a concubine. The two palaces sent girls who were familiar with people's affairs. Now that the concubine and concubine have both, I am afraid that in the future, new people will be added one after another. It is time to raise the rules.
Hearing Zhu Quan's words, Xiao Qingyan still didn't believe that Xu Changan would do this
When he walked to his usual office, he saw that there was a booklet on the table, Xiao Qingyan was about to open it, and Xu Changan asked to see him outside.
Looking at the things in front of him, Xiao Qingyan took it for granted that Xu Changan came here because of this, but he did not expect that he came for a few slaves.
"It's just a few slaves. If you don't understand the rules, you must let them know the rules. You are a princess, and since they are yours, they should be punished more severely. You dare to come and ask for mercy."
Xiao Qingyan's tone was not good, Xu Changan didn't dare to look at his face at all, so he could only quickly kneel down and apologize, but he continued: "My lord, what happened yesterday has nothing to do with them, I insisted on pulling them to drink with me. Yes, a few of them don't dare not to listen to me before they make mistakes. After all, it's all my fault. I broke the rules.
"Presumptuous! As a princess, you actually knelt down and begged for a few servants!" Unexpectedly, Xu Changan knelt for a few servants, Xiao Qingyan suddenly felt a nameless fire in his heart, and stopped looking at the kneeling people With a glance, he directly instructed Zhu Quandao beside him: "Go on, throw those slaves and maids who are dead and thrown out of the palace. If they are still alive, they are not allowed to return to the main courtyard to serve the princess, and they all rush to the firewood room to work."
Xiao Qingyan's words were full of anger, and his tone was unbearable. Xu Changan was so frightened that he sat directly on the ground, his face immediately turned pale, and his hands almost lost the strength. He never thought that the matter would be so serious, he thought they would be released after being locked up for a few days at most.
How can this happen, how can this happen
"Your Highness, Your Highness! Your Highness... I beg you, I beg you..." I always knew that when I became a royal, I would always be by my side in life and death, and if I was not careful, my life might be lost. However, Xu Changan couldn't think of anything else at this moment. He only knew that Mammy and the others suffered today's disaster because of his momentary indulgence. He should be damned, damned!
Not daring to stay here any longer, Zhu Quan hurried out and closed the door when he went out. It's best not to let others see the appearance of the princess and the prince.
"Humph!" Thinking of the two little girls who were like flowers and jade beside Xu Changan, and looking at Xu Changan's current state, Xiao Qingyan didn't think about it at all. He could only think that those two girls and his princess were not the only masters. Servant relationship!
"His Royal Highness!" Xu Changan no longer cares about shame or shame! After kowtowing to Xiao Qingyan three times, he slowly straightened his body, instead of closing his eyes, he tried to keep his eyes clear, looked directly at Xiao Qingyan, and said word by word, "They are not just my maids. "
"This king is..."
"They are still my saviors." In those days on Zhuangzi, if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be alive to this day.
"My mother died three years ago. My father said to the outside world that I was going to guard my mother's tomb. In fact, I was expelled from the house by my father and locked in the farm. The reason my father did this... was that I discovered that my mother did not die of illness. Instead, he was poisoned to death... It's ridiculous and hateful to say!
My mother was poisoned to death, my father not only shielded the murderer instead of avenging her, but also drove me out of the Xu family who knew the truth! My mother passed away, and my heart was sad, and my father's attitude made me despair. After I went to Zhuangzi, my health has been bad, and the servants deliberately treated my body harshly, and I have not been able to recover.
In those three years, I suffered from many illnesses, and the medicine I drank was either the money they posted, or Dong Xue who went to the mountains to pick it up for me. At that time, the food I ate was not as good as that of other people, so mammy and the others saved their rations for me.
Your Highness, I beg you, please don't beat them, just drive them out of the house. It's me who broke the rules, so beat me. Anyway, without them, I wouldn't be alive till now. "I still have my mother's property in my hands. If they go out, it's better than being in the palace. But now that I have a great revenge, I have nothing to worry about. Isn't it just a life? One day toward death, there will be that day anyway, as long as there is no regret in the heart, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Xiao Qingyan never thought that he just wanted to deal with a few slaves, but he heard what he had already guessed, but the truth was more shocking than he thought! snort! There are such vicious people in this world, it seems that Xu Yongnian's fate is still too cheap for him!
"Come on!"
"My lord! My lord, someone is looking for the wangfei outside. It seems that someone from the princess's family has come to let them in..."
"No need! Wait, who's the person here?" Since it was automatically delivered to the door, what if you didn't treat him well.
"It seems to be the princess' father and concubine sister."
"Zhu Quan, the princess is not feeling well. You send the princess back to rest. As for the guests outside... bring them in and let them wait in front of the princess' courtyard." Xiao Qingyan didn't understand why she wanted to vent her anger for this person who ruined her life. When the person left, he said with a bit of disappointment: "Maybe it's because... He is no different from himself."
Since his mother's death, he has tasted the warmth and coldness of this world. He wants to remember his mother's hatred and try his best to protect his young and ignorant younger brother.
