Princess Changling was a capable person, and perhaps in order to keep herself busy and have less to think about, she went to the Regent's Palace with a list of names the next day.
When he was led by the steward through the garden of the Regent's Palace, he happened to see King Mu coming out of it in a hurry.
The relationship between uncle and nephew has always been cold. When King Mu saw Princess Changling, he just said lightly, "It's Xianyu. Why do you have time to come here?"
Princess Changling smiled slightly, "Isn't Uncle Mu Wang very empty too?"
King Mu snorted lightly, obviously feeling that Princess Changling did not respect him as an elder.
Princess Changling seemed not to have heard her and said, "I have something to discuss with Zhifei. Uncle Mu, please stay with me for a little longer."
King Mu looked at Princess Changling and said, "If you have time to spare, you might as well come and sit at Uncle Wang's house."
Princess Changling smiled and said nothing.
Although she and Zhi Fei are siblings, they have no feelings for the family in Prince Mu's house.
Because in the early years, King Mu was always secretly arrogant and eccentric, and those who didn't know it thought it was her father who had robbed him of the throne.
This means that he and his father, the emperor, have the same mother and father. They lost their mother when they were young. The father and the emperor protected the younger brother all the way and had a deep relationship. Although King Mu was mediocre in ability, he tried his best to help his brother when he was young. Although he has been acting strangely over the years,
But he didn't really do anything extraordinary.
Otherwise, if the two of them were born in the royal family from the beginning, the grass on King Mu's grave would be three feet high.
In the early years, his father was living in exile, and he was living a stable life in Shangyong.
His father, the emperor, and his brother Zhifei were fighting on the battlefield, and he was enjoying the glory and wealth in Shangyong.
Princess Changling really didn't know where he got so much dissatisfaction.
After bidding farewell to King Mu, Princess Changling walked into Xie Yan's courtyard. Xie Yan did not sit in the study to handle official duties, but stood alone outside the court with his hands behind his back, not knowing what he was thinking.
The breeze blew by, blowing a few sweet-scented osmanthus flowers onto his clothes and hair, adding a bit of loneliness.
"Uncle King Mu is here to cause trouble for you again?" Princess Changling asked.
Xie Yan turned to look at him, "It's just some commonplace talk, don't pay attention to it."
Princess Changling raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh? Do you want you to make Xie Chengyou the crown prince, or do you want you to marry one of his so-and-so to be his princess?"
Xie Yan said: "That's not true. He wants to marry Ruan Ting's daughter for Xie Chengyou."
"Xiang Ruan's legitimate daughter, Ruan Yueli?"
Xie Yan nodded slightly, and Princess Changling smiled slightly, "What a coincidence."
Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Princess Changling took out a scroll from her sleeve, waved it towards Xie Yan and said: "By order of the Queen Mother, I will give you the candidate for the future princess, and here is Ruan Yueli."
Xie Yan frowned, "Fantasy."
Princess Changling smiled and said: "It's not necessarily possible. Ruan Ting is an old fox. He will definitely be willing to marry his daughter to you as your princess."
Those who don't want the in-laws in the Regent's Palace to be too powerful are those who firmly support the emperor and are determined to protect the country conquered by the great ancestor and the late emperor. As for which faction Ruan Ting belongs to, I'm afraid it's hard to say.
In comparison, the Empress Dowager was very tolerant.
Not only did she believe in Xie Yan's character and feelings for the great ancestor Emperor, but also because she could see clearly.
If Xie Yanruo really wants that position, it doesn't make much difference whether they marry or not.
Cheng'er will not be able to achieve great success within at least ten years.
The throne of the Xie family is firmly held by Xie Yan. Rather than letting powerful officials take charge and causing chaos inside and outside the court, it would be better for Xie Yan to sit in that position.
At least he will definitely save Cheng'er's life.
Xie Yan said: "Take it back."
Princess Changling said: "I advise you to take a look. If you don't look at the Queen Mother, you will really mess up the relationship. It will be too late for you to regret it by then."
Xie Yan ignored her and turned around and went into the study.
Princess Changling was not in a hurry and followed in slowly.
Putting the file in his hand on the desk, he said with a smile: "I went to the Luo family specifically yesterday. Why didn't you notice it earlier? The little girl from the Luo family is quite cute."
Xie Yan looked at her indifferently, as if saying she was bored.
Princess Changling sat down comfortably, "The queen mother said that she also wanted to meet the girl of the Luo family. I also made a special trip this morning to send a makeup to the eldest girl of the Luo family. The lady of the Luo family has always been a
Smart man, do you think she can guess what I mean?"
Xie Yan frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Sister Huang, don't do unnecessary things."
Princess Changling curled her lips and said: "Don't be sentimental, am I saying it for you? Zizhen of the Lingchuan Hou family has not yet been found, and Mrs. Lingchuan Hou has complained to me for a long time. After all, I
She is also his cousin, why should you worry about him?"
"Wei Changting?"
Princess Changling smiled and said: "No, Zizhen is also twenty-four years old. I have delayed my marriage with you all these years in the border area. If you don't want to get married yourself, why don't you want to delay others?"
Xie Yan said: "They are not suitable."
Princess Changling smiled like a flower, "What's inappropriate?"
Xie Yan was silent.
Princess Changling smiled even more cheerfully. Seeing that Xie Yan didn't speak or urge her, she stood up and said: "Brother, don't say that the imperial sister doesn't love you, take a good look for yourself. As the saying goes, if a family has a girl, hundreds of families want her to be beautiful.
She is a lovely girl with a good family background, but she never worries about getting married. If you start late, it will be too late to regret."
After that, he ignored what Xie Yan wanted to say, turned around and walked outside.
"..."
His Royal Highness the Regent, who has been away at war all year round, cannot understand the thoughts of the Empress Dowager and Princess Changling, the two women closest to him.
After taking a look at the scroll pressed on the file by Princess Changling, Xie Yan wanted to throw it away, but paused slightly when his hand touched the scroll.
With gentle force, the thin scroll slowly unfolded on the table.
Princess Changling was extremely well prepared. On the scroll were the profiles, names and family backgrounds of several women.
There are not many candidates worthy of being regent. Princess Changling is in a hurry, and there are only four people on the list.
Among them, the first one is Luo Junyao.
Xie Yan looked at the lifelike portrait and was a little dazed for a moment.
He quickly shook his head and chuckled, rerolled the scroll and put it aside, and continued to read the official documents in front of him.
"Your Majesty, the envoy from Gaoyu handed over a message asking for an audience." Prince Zhu Siming came in and made a respectful report.
Xie Yan didn't even raise his head, "What's the matter?"
Zhu Siming said: "I want to ask Divine Doctor Xue to treat Princess He Ruo's injuries."
Xie Yan raised his head and said: "Mr. Xue is not under the command of the Prince of Chu, nor is he a member of the national army. If the people of Gaoyu want to seek medical treatment, they can go to Dr. Xue."
Zhu Siming said: "Mr. Xue came and went without a trace. They had no choice but to seek help from the prince."
Xie Yan said: "Doctor Xue said the day before yesterday that he wanted to study a strange disease. He left Beijing to look for clues. He is not in Shangyong right now. If they want to seek medical treatment, they can go to Bingzhou to find him."
Zhu Siming secretly said: "Even if Divine Doctor Xue really returns to Bingzhou, when the Gaoyu people arrive in Bingzhou to find Divine Doctor Xue, He Ruoya will probably be unable to save his life."
But since the prince said so, Zhu Siming naturally responded to Gao Yuren in the same way.
The people of Gaoyu were aggressive in negotiating alliances, which made the prince very unhappy. He didn't know how to restrain himself from looking for trouble, but now that something happened, he didn't feel embarrassed at all.
Do you still think that their allies are so prosperous that they are spoiled by them?
Zhu Siming immediately bowed and excused himself, "Yes, Your Majesty."
In the Gaoyu embassy, He Ruoya immediately exploded when he heard the news that his subordinates had come in to reply.
Her wrists were still wrapped with white gauze, and two days later the injury on her wrists was still causing her trouble sleeping and eating.
What made her even more devastated was that both the imperial physician of Dasheng and the accompanying doctors said that she would no longer be able to use her hand after it healed.
When he thought that his right hand was useless, He Ruoyasu wanted to tear down the entire Shangyong Imperial City.
"People in Dasheng are lying! They just don't want me to get better!" He Ruoya looked crazy, and she still looked like the heroic Princess Gaoyu from before.
Seeing her appearance, He Ruoqiuti, who was sitting on the side, frowned in disgust, "Whose fault is this? Who asked you to sneak attack others when you have nothing to do?"
He had been ridiculed twice in the past two days for such a disgraceful thing as a sneak attack.
Those Dasheng civil servants were concerned about decency and etiquette and would not say anything to their faces, but those military generals were not so particular.
"Second brother!" He Ruoya said angrily: "Where are you from?"
He Ruoqiu asked: "What does this have to do with which side I am from? Do you think that if you were in Gaoyu, you wouldn't be scorned by others?"
The people of Gaoyu hated her even more for her villainous behavior of sneaking up from behind.
"Brother!"
He Ruomuti said in a deep voice: "Okay, you two, stop arguing."
As soon as he opened his mouth, the two people who were originally arguing with each other immediately shut up and just stared at each other with their eyes.
Heruomuti said in a deep voice: "Don't forget the purpose of our trip. The negotiations with Dasheng have not made any progress. How will we explain to our father when we return?"
He Ruoqiuti curled his lips disapprovingly and said, "Dasheng people are totally unsincere. What can we do if we can't reach an agreement?"
He Ruomudi glanced at him lightly. The interests of both parties were related. Who wouldn't?
He Ruoyashu couldn't listen to what the two said, and waved her uninjured hand wildly, "I don't care about this! I want a miracle doctor! I don't want to become a cripple! I want to kill Luo Junyao!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence in the hall.
He Ruomuti's sharp eyes fell on He Ruo Yashu's face, and he said coldly: "If you dare to ruin Gao Yu's plan, even your father can't protect you. From today on, you are not allowed to leave the post house.
Second brother, look at her."
He Ruoqiuti looked a little disgusted, but did not refuse.
"Yashu, please calm down. The doctor will naturally find you. What's the use of you yelling here?"
He Ruoyashu's face was full of defiance and anger, but He Ruomuti never gave her a chance to speak again and said in a cold voice: "Come here, send the princess back to her room! No one is allowed to let her go without my order."
Get out!"
"Yes, the eldest prince." Soon two Gaoyu guards came in and asked He Ruoya to go back to the room.
He Ruoya glanced at her two cousins with a look of resentment on her face, then followed them away with a gloomy face.
After she went out, He Ruoqiuti sneered and said, "Brother Wang wanted her to marry Gao Yu before. Are you sure that her character is not a grudge against Da Sheng?"
He Ruomuti also looked very ugly, and said coldly: "It's my fault this time, I shouldn't have brought her here."
The Gaoyu royal family didn't have any suitable candidates except He Ruoyashu, and bringing her along was just to test Da Sheng's attitude.
Who would have thought that she would be so unable to withstand a blow? It was just because she lost to others in a competition that she ended up like this?
He Ruoqiuti said with some schadenfreude: "If she really does something happen in Dasheng, Brother Wang, your big plan will be in vain."
He Ruomuti's face darkened and he said coldly: "I won't let this happen."
"What should we do about her injury? We are weak in Shangyong. Xie Yan said that the miracle doctor is not in Shangyong, so can we just forget about it?"
He didn't care, he was just afraid that He Ruoyashu wouldn't stop, "Are we going to find that old fox, Prince Ning?"
He Ruomu said: "No need, that old fox owes a lot of favors. Since she caused the trouble herself, she must bear the consequences herself."
