King Yan glanced at Eunuch Yang, nodded slightly, indicating that he knew, but did not get up in a hurry.
He was talking to Princess Yan. No matter how important the matter was, he had to go to the back.
Princess Yan didn't notice Eunuch Yang's little move, and said enthusiastically: "Yun'er's wedding is coming soon, and I'm also looking forward to Min'er coming over soon. From now on, you and your son will go to court on errands, and there will be someone in the inner house to accompany me."
Speak."
The Miner mentioned by Princess Yan is Yuan Min, the daughter of her elder brother Yuan Hai.
The Yuan family has prosperous heirs. General Yuan has five sons. When it comes to grandchildren, the total number of direct descendants and concubines is twelve. Yuan Min is the only granddaughter. She is favored in the Yuan family to a greater extent than Princess Yan was when she was young.
Nothing worse than that.
However, Yuan Min's temperament is completely different from that of her aunt Princess Yan. Princess Yan was born frail and carefully raised, and she is innocent and naive. Even in her thirties, her temperament has not changed.
Yuan Min has been practicing martial arts since she was a child. She is in good health and is far better than Princess Yan. Her appearance is bright, cheerful and generous, yet thoughtful and careful, which makes her very popular with her elders. No matter where she goes, she is the center of attention.
Zhu Yun and Yuan Min are direct cousins. They grew up together since childhood. The friendship between childhood sweethearts naturally turned into a relationship between a man and a woman when they were young.
This marriage is a matter of course.
Two years ago, Emperor Long'an personally issued a decree to grant a marriage to his favorite grandson. He also personally said to General Yuan: "You and I were originally related to each other, but now my grandson wants to marry your granddaughter. It can be said that we are married to each other."
Got a kiss."
General Yuan, who has made numerous military exploits throughout his life, was not submissive in front of the emperor. He said with a smile: "I have a granddaughter who has been in my hands since she was a child. If the prince fails her in the future, my grandfather will definitely come to visit him personally."
Support your granddaughter."
This is a joke between the monarch and his ministers, and it also shows the domineering attitude of General Yuan in protecting the calf.
When King Yan married Princess Yan, General Yuan also said the same thing.
Emperor Long'an didn't take it seriously and laughed it off.
Zhu Yun made a special trip to Yuan's house because of this incident, and solemnly swore to his grandfather who loved him that he would never let down his cousin.
With King Yan Zhuyu in front of him, Zhu Yun's oath is particularly credible.
Everyone in the Yuan family was very satisfied with the marriage. However, General Yuan was reluctant to let his granddaughter get married early, so he postponed the wedding for a year.
Seeing how happy Princess Yan was, King Yan softened his eyes and joked with a smile: "After Min'er passed the door, as a mother-in-law, are you willing to let her set the rules?"
Princess Yan thought for a while and said: "The rules that should be established must always be established. Otherwise, everyone will point fingers behind their backs."
Yuan Min has been smart and thoughtful since she was a child. Once Yuan Min comes in, she will have to rely on her to support the inner chamber of Prince Yan's Mansion.
Princess Yan talked about the preparations for the marriage again.
The wedding of the emperor and grandson has its own rules. The Ministry of Rites sets the rules, and the people who do the errands are all people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Princess Yan, as the mother-in-law, also has to worry about it.
King Yan was not impatient at all. He listened to Princess Yan for half an hour before he said: "I still have some official business and need to go to the study. You go to bed first, there is no need to wait for me."
Princess Yan was indeed a little tired, yawned and nodded.
…
After entering the study, King Yan's smile faded and he looked at Eunuch Yang: "What's the matter?"
Eunuch Yang presented the bamboo tube and whispered: "This is the news from Feng San'er. Xue Pan, who was guarding the palace gate, went to Prince Qin's Mansion tonight and stayed in Prince Qin's study for more than an hour before leaving.
"
Xue Pan?
A chill flashed through King Yan's eyes.
The private exchanges between the Xue family and the King of Qin did not happen overnight. As the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Xue Lin was a confidant of the emperor and commanded tens of thousands of Jin Yiwei. This power should not be underestimated.
Xue Pan is Xue Lin's cousin. He is on duty in the palace, guarding the palace gates. His official position is not high, but it is an extremely important job.
When Xue Pan went to Prince Qin's Mansion, was he going to show his loyalty, or was he secretly plotting something else?
Regardless of whether it is the former or the latter, one must be vigilant.
King Yan opened the bamboo tube, took out the note, read it several times, and placed the note on the candle flame. The strong flames quickly devoured the note and quickly turned it into ashes.
"Feng San'er has made another great contribution," King Yan seemed to be saying to himself.
A girl turned into a chamberlain and stayed in Prince Qin's palace for more than half a year. Not to mention how many achievements she made, her caution and tact were enough to impress people.
It’s hard not to use such a useful subordinate!
Eunuch Yang answered the question quickly: "It is also her blessing to be able to serve His Highness."
King Yan came back to his senses and glanced at Eunuch Yang with a smile: "San'er is also very lucky. With you as a foster father, she always helps to speak. Even if I want to forget her contribution, I will not succeed."
Eunuch Yang smiled with a thick face: "Your Highness, please don't misunderstand me. I just said that casually and had no intention of helping San'er claim credit."
King Yan smiled, and all the emotions in his heart were quickly forgotten.
Those who achieve great things know how to use others well.
Feng Shaojun has transformed into thousands of people, swimming in the dark night like a fish in water. With such ability, how can he be worried about her just because she is a woman?
I will reward you based on my merits in the future.
As for the layer of guilt in my heart that cannot be expressed, let alone mention it.
Shen You, whose surname is Shen, will always be Shen Rong's "son". Feng Shaojun is also the future daughter-in-law of the Shen family.
"Send someone to keep an eye on Xue Pan," King Yan ordered in a low voice: "Also, send someone to keep an eye on Xue Lin. If there is any abnormality, come and report to the king immediately."
Eunuch Yang calmed down and retreated to make arrangements for the manpower.
King Yan summoned his staff into the study to discuss matters, and it was only after midnight that things were settled. By this time, Princess Yan had already fallen asleep, so King Yan took a rest in the study.
At this time, King Yan's royal guards changed again.
Shen You happens to be on duty tonight.
Being on night duty is the most difficult. Especially in the second half of the night, it is the sleepiest time of the day. It was the turn of the guards who were on night duty, and they had already slept during the day. At this time, there were more than ten guards, all of whom had bright eyes.
.
They are the elite of the personal guard, and they are also the confidants of King Yan.
In the future, when King Yan is established as the crown prince and the great treasure, they will also leap over the dragon gate and become the real powerful figures in the Jin Yiwei. A bright future is just around the corner.
At dawn, the guard changed again.
The guards who work as night guards have a full half-day to rest. Most of them go to catch up on their sleep.
Only Shen You quietly left Prince Yan's Mansion through the side door and did not return until noon.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Shen Jia lying on his bed, with his left leg crossed and his right leg shaking. Hearing the sound of the door being opened, Shen Jia immediately turned over and went to bed: "Fourth brother, you were on duty last night and won't sleep today.
Where did you go?"
Shen You resisted the urge to touch the hidden bag and said casually: "I went to the weapons shop and took a look at a long knife. I will buy it when you pay me back."
