"The villain dare not lie to His Highness!" Zhao Banxian's heart skipped a beat, wondering if his words were wrong.
Judging from the tone of His Royal Highness the eldest princess, it seems that it is not very good.
"The girl knows about this palace?" Princess Ruoshui was sitting on the grand teacher's chair, but suddenly got up, and there was a storm surging in her dark eyes, "Listen to what you said, take out of this palace. It was only the girl who convinced the girl, so it can be seen that I knew this girl very well that day, which is beyond my expectation!"
After hearing this, Zhao Banxian was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the ground.
It really is true that accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger, but this is not the king of a country, he can't stand the anger of the eldest princess.
It was Eunuch Huang who intervened to relieve him.
"Your Highness, I think it's because of His Highness's high prestige!" Eunuch Huang approached Princess Ruoshui a few steps, and said respectfully, "Those villagers in the countryside are thinking of His Royal Highness's respect for the Great Wei Dynasty." Who doesn't privately praise His Highness for loving the people like a son?"
In other words, it was normal for Lin Fufu to know Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess and be overwhelmed by her prestige.
Everyone likes to listen to good words, even Princess Ruoshui. Her face softened a little, but the sharpness between her brows did not fade away.
However, before she lost her head, she turned her head and glanced at Eunuch Huang, who was pleasing to the eye, and reprimanded him in a cold tone: "Eunuch Huang, did you even forget the rules after following me out of the capital? Great Wei is still Your Majesty." The Great Wei, this palace is just managing it on behalf of us, and the prestige and everything belong to our Majesty, we must not say such unruly words in the future!"
Eunuch Huang knew that His Royal Highness the eldest princess was only talking superficially, and didn't really reprimand him, but he still pleaded guilty and admitted his mistakes like a good one.
Princess Ruoshui then sat on the grand teacher's chair again, stretched out her hand to bring the tea, lifted the lid of the tea cup and gently blew the tea in the tea cup, her movements were elegant and noble.
"According to Mr. Zhao, how is that girl now compared to when she was a child?" Princess Ruoshui took a sip of tea gracefully, and raised her eyes to glance at Zhao Banxian faintly.
Zhao Banxian's mind turned quickly when he heard the words, but for a moment, he cupped his hands and replied: "Returning to Your Highness, Miss Lin didn't have much talent when she was young, but it was Lin Laosan who taught her a little bit of boxing and embroidering legs. As for her mother I haven't seen anything to teach her, it's normal!"
"Yeah." Princess Ruoshui heard him say a lot of Lin Fufu's performance when she was a child, and she had an idea in her heart, "What about now?"
Zhao Banxian saw that His Royal Highness was not dissatisfied with what he said earlier, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart, and then he continued cautiously: "Speaking of it, it was really after her mother passed away that she became astonished. For example, she was so small that she dared to use scissors to cut open the belly of her dead mother and forcefully deliver the child... "
Princess Ruo Shui frowned slightly, as if there was something worth remembering from the past being remembered.
Finally, it turned into a sigh.
Her beautiful eyebrows slanted into her temples frowned slightly, and said softly: "She knows how to heal... I believe that her mother also has superb medical skills." It seemed to be whispering softly, "Sometimes, Talent is really something that will be passed down from parents.”
"Your Highness said so." Zhao Banxian also responded softly.
But in the next moment, Princess Ruoshui raised her voice a lot, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, making her face even more majestic, "I just didn't expect this girl to be so courageous! This... is younger than her mother." It was many times stronger when it was done."
She seemed to smile slightly again, "I remember that when her mother was young, her master lost a wounded little rabbit and asked her to sew up the little rabbit's bleeding hind legs, and she was so frightened that she cried."
Neither Eunuch Huang nor Zhao Banxian dared to answer these words.
Both lowered their heads even lower.
"It's unbearable to look back on the past. I didn't expect that she would still not tolerate me..." The nostalgia between Princess Ruoshui's brows was gone, replaced by anger.
"Your Highness, the past is over. Your Highness and Da Wei are helping His Majesty, don't think about those bad things." Eunuch Huang stepped forward to persuade him at the risk of being blamed by Princess Ruoshui.
Some things can only be persuaded by him, an insider.
Although Zhao Banxian knew a lot, he couldn't say much.
"Well, you're right. The Sri Lankan has passed away, so it's useless to say anything else, and I'm already in charge." Princess Ruoshui stretched out her hand and stroked her forehead, seeming a little tired again.
Eunuch Huang couldn't bear it for a while, he couldn't bear it in his heart, he said so, he persuaded him... But in fact, the incident sixteen years ago was like a nightmare, tormenting his elders all the time. your Highness.
"Your Highness, in fact... this old slave has been rescued by an eminent monk from Xiaoxiangguo Temple in private, so you don't have to worry about it..." Eunuch Huang thought about it, and told the story while His Highness was away.
After hearing this, Princess Ruoshui suddenly raised her head and looked at Eunuch Huang sharply.
Of course she knew what Eunuch Huang was talking about.
"You also think I did something wrong back then?" Princess Ruoshui suddenly became angry without warning, her dark eyes fixed on Eunuch Huang.
Even Zhao Banxian could feel His Royal Highness' eyes poking at him like countless icicles.
At the same time, he felt a little helpless in his heart. The incident sixteen years ago really haunted His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess for the rest of her life...
Even if he can see some people who can see the reincarnation of heaven, it is not clear now, is it luck or misfortune
"Your Highness, you did nothing wrong! Everyone is wrong, but you can't be wrong!"
Before Zhao Banxian came out of his thoughts, Eunuch Huang knelt on the ground excitedly.
"Everyone is wrong, but this palace is right?" Princess Ruoshui squinted at Huang Gonggong who was kneeling on the ground, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, showing a smile that was not a smile. Those powerful officials in the hall are still dissatisfied with my palace? Those princes who have ulterior motives secretly want to use that incident to force this palace to give up military and political power to the court? And your majesty's concubines, who do not curse this palace? Die early?"
It seemed that she wanted to shout out all the grievances in her heart. This was the first time Princess Ruoshui lost her composure like this.
Such a gaffe, perhaps when she mentioned or faced the orphan of that person, she finally couldn't hold back.
At this time, Eunuch Huang didn't know what to say. He knelt on the ground and gave Zhao Banxian a look for help.
Zhao Banxian also knew that His Highness the Eldest Princess could not continue to be immersed in that bad mood. He thought about it and said to the Eldest Princess: "Your Highness, you really don't have to think too much, this is fate! You didn't do it back then. Wrong, if it wasn't for you back then, Dawei's hundreds of years of foundation would have changed hands long ago! And, don't forget, you are the destiny to return the phoenix to the sun!"
From the point of view of political metaphysics, the red phoenix returning to the sun means that women are involved in politics, and it is the destiny to protect the country.
Princess Ruoshui immediately calmed down after listening to Zhao Banxian's words, and regained her majestic and wise expression.
"Stop this matter." She coughed lightly, and glanced at Zhao Banxian faintly, "Why doesn't this palace know? It's just... if I can do it all over again, I don't want to choose like I did before."
Zhao Banxian smiled wryly, how could there be a chance to start again? Wouldn't that be a mess
"Since that girl agreed, I will return to the capital as soon as possible. I have been diligent in coming to the north in the past two years. I don't know what kind of trouble will be caused by those careless people in Beijing this time." Princess Ruoshui sneered.
Zhao Banxian hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, the villain and Miss Lin have made an appointment, and I will pick her up to go to Beijing tonight."
"En." Princess Ruoshui nodded, and suddenly asked Zhao Banxian, "I heard that the young couple Cai Zijun and Feng Lan also left a pair of twin girls to that girl to raise. Do you know about this?"
Few people know about this matter, even Princess Ruoshui heard it from Feng Lan herself. At that time, she was stunned, not knowing whether it was a coincidence or fate.
The Feng family and the Cai family have one civil and one martial arts, the heads of the two families are both ministers of the humerus of the Great Wei, and the children of the two families have made many achievements...
That girl is just a commoner, but she has the opportunity and ability to suddenly become the benefactor of their two families!
This can't help but make her think too much!
Of course, Princess Ruoshui is also curious about how the girl did it.
Seeing that His Royal Highness Princess Chang was interested in this matter, Zhao Banxian, who knew a little about the truth, also happily told her about it.
After hearing what Zhao Banxian said, Princess Ruoshui smiled lightly, "So it's another delivery! It seems that her mother's teaching her medical skills really makes sense!"
Zhao Banxian didn't dare to guess if there was any other meaning in Princess Ruo Shuichang's words.
He knew that His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess had great trust in General Feng Yi, so he said in a pleasant way, "The villain heard that the twin girls were raised by Miss Lin. They are white, fat and cute. I am afraid that Mr. Cai and his wife will not recognize them when they come to pick up the children. Got a baby."
"It's only been a few days since I gave birth to the baby, and it's been a few months? See you again, of course I don't know each other." Princess Ruoshui smiled softly for the first time.
It seems that no matter how much power or status, when it comes to delicate and soft children, maternal love will overflow.
"By the way, Amu, how are Feng Lan and Cai Zijun husband and wife doing now?" Princess Ruoshui turned to look at Eunuch Huang.
Eunuch Huang also smiled and reported, "Reporting to Your Highness, General Feng Yi has been rescued by Mr. Cai from the hands of the barbarians to our Western Expedition Army camp. Now Mrs. Cai replaces General Feng Yi to lead our soldiers They are fighting!"
Princess Ruoshui nodded after hearing this, then suddenly turned her head to look at Zhao Banxian and asked, "At the end of the year, do you still remember the most rebellious thing you said to me when you were young and young?"
Zhao Banxian was startled.
Unexpectedly, Princess Ruoshui suddenly asked him this question.
A trace of nostalgia quickly appeared in his eyes.
Although he was submissive in front of her today, he used to be very high-spirited and vowed to contribute to the Great Wei, a young man of ambition...
"I remember." A dreamy smile appeared on Zhao Banxian's elegant face, and then his tone became agitated, "I once said in front of His Highness that it is God's will that the Great Wei's yin prospers and its yang declines. It won't fall!"
Zhao Banxian will now call himself "I". When he said this at that time, he was forcing the dignified and majestic woman in front of him to make up his mind to be the regent.
At that time, she was still a young girl like a flower. Although she was very imposing and daring, she was far inferior to the majestic lady who can make people prostrate on the ground with just one look.
Regarding Zhao Banxian's nostalgic expression, Princess Ruoshui also smiled lightly, and said softly, "Yes, I didn't believe what you said at the beginning, but now you see? Bengong stands as a woman At the highest place in the Great Wei Dynasty Hall, one person is under one person and over ten thousand people. Feng Lan, the daughter of the married general Feng Yi, can command thousands of troops to fight on the battlefield. She has the demeanor of a female commander. Don't you believe me?"
There is another sentence at the end, what about Lin Gospel, who has the fate of the phoenix Nirvana, in the end
Zhao Banxian knew that Princess Ruoshui didn't finish what she said later, but he was no longer the high-spirited young man at the beginning. The hard first half of his life had taught him how to protect himself and his family.
"Your Highness, I don't know that Miss Feng Lan is fighting on the front line. Does anyone in the court know?" Zhao Banxian first wanted to know, and secondly, he also wanted to divert Princess Ruoshui's attention.
He didn't want Princess Ruoshui to keep staring at Lin Fufu now.
At this time and at that time, if he had stood firmly beside Princess Ruoshui and thought of her everywhere... Now, he should be destined to protect another person.
Princess Ruoshui didn't know that Zhao Banxian had already had a double heart. She was always confident that as long as the people she subdued would not have a double heart.
So I didn't think too much when I heard Zhao Banxian's inquiry.
"Hmph, the fact that Feng Lan went to the battlefield in place of his father is of course suppressed. If those people in the court know about it, I don't know how to make trouble!" Princess Ruoshui thought that there were people in Wei who disregarded the interests of the country and colluded with foreign countries to frame her Her loyal minister, Liang Jiang, the fire in her heart was burning loudly, and now her beautiful eyes were full of raging anger.
But Princess Ruoshui who was so angry didn't make Zhao Banxian feel scared.
The corners of his lips twitched, and he said sincerely, "Your Highness, don't be angry. Those people are all for their own interests after all. Fortunately, there are still many loyal and capable people in the Great Wei Dynasty Hall!"
"Why don't I know what you're talking about?" Princess Ruoshui frowned when she thought of the complicated and treacherous court battles, and the tired look on her brows returned, and she said, "Although you have Since I invited you to the countryside to help me monitor some people, but you also know that some corrupt ministers in the court will not let go, those loyal and capable low-level officials in the prime of life How can I come up?"
This is the disadvantage of the gentry's control of the court. No matter how powerful, smart, and decisive Princess Ruoshui is, she still cannot suppress them from the root.
So now, the Great Wei Dynasty Hall is just a terrible undercurrent hidden under the calm surface. Once this undercurrent surges, it may be a landslide and tsunami.
This has always been the worry of Princess Ruoshui.
She has worked hard for the Great Wei for more than ten years. When she was a teenager, she was high-spirited, and she didn't feel anything. She believed that she would be able to settle the power of those nobles, but after more than ten years, she finally saw it clearly.
She also admitted very sadly and angrily that she couldn't beat them after all!
No matter how hard I tried, I could only turn the situation into what it is now.
"The last years." Princess Ruoshui called wearily, and Zhao Banxian looked up subconsciously, with a sore look in his eyes, the face of His Royal Highness, the most honorable and capable Princess of Great Wei, seems to have aged ten years all of a sudden Same.
"Hey, Your Highness." He agreed sourly, with helplessness and grief in his heart, but life still has to go, and the road still has to go.
"Tell me, if Ben Gong also falls, who else can I hand over to this great Wei?"
No one dared to answer these words.
"Just say it, I forgive you for your innocence." Princess Ruoshui stretched out her hand to caress her forehead, feeling a little sad in her heart. She used to be one of the best friends. At that time, she said everything, so she didn't care what was broken. Rules, what words will be ransacked and exterminated if someone hears it.
But now that I am middle-aged, I dare not say anything.
Zhao Banxian really didn't dare to say anything, even if he was forgiven for his innocence.
Because before that step, even if he can measure and calculate, he dare not draw conclusions now.
"Your Highness, don't think too much, you have to take care of yourself and take good care of your body, this great Wei cannot do without you!" Zhao Banxian thought for a while, and pulled out this panacea.
Although panacea, it is also true.
The current His Majesty is not in a good state. There are only three or five children in the harem, and half of them are princesses. Two of the princes are exactly the same as His Majesty when he was a child, or even worse.
If it wasn't for the medicine to keep it, it might be gone someday.
In the Great Wei Dynasty, the one who can really keep it now is not the eldest princess!
Of course he hoped that Princess Dachang would last forever and support Great Wei and the tens of millions of Li people in Great Wei.
"Your Highness, how is the battle in the west going?" Zhao Banxian didn't want Princess Ruoshui to be immersed in bad feelings for a long time, and began to look away again.
Speaking of this, Princess Ruoshui's expression became much more relaxed. She snorted coldly, "Feng Lan's military command ability is no less than her father's, and he is even better than Lan. Now victory in the west war is just around the corner."
Zhao Banxian's eyes rolled, Feng Lan and his wife will be good or bad in the future, but it also has something to do with Lin Fufu...
After thinking for a while, he bowed his hands, "His Royal Highness, if Feng Lan wins the Western Expedition on behalf of his father, it means that General Feng Yi's father and daughter have made great contributions to Wei! I hope the court will rehabilitate General Feng Yi and give Feng Lan affirmation." reward!"
"Well, you don't need to say this, I have naturally considered it. It's just that in order to protect General Feng Yi's family, it is also kind of me to imprison them in the prison. When Feng Lan and his wife and General Feng Yi return to the court, I will The palace will naturally ask for rewards for them."
As for Feng Lan's current commanding power, Princess Ruoshui had long ago requested His Majesty's handwriting to let her be in charge of the commanding seal.
Although the emperor's order will not be accepted, but with the protection of this emperor's order, when the class teacher returns to the court in the future, he can also stand in a favorable position in the court.
Princess Ruoshui sighed again, women are not easy!
Even if it is for the sake of the country, in the eyes of those old immortals, it is still an unforgivable sin for a woman to go to the battlefield to command a man to fight.
But so what
