Watching Xian Zijuan leave, Princess Hanyu looked at Xian Zijuan and said in an indifferent tone: "I heard that you just took a concubine for Guan Yupeng, or is she a slave of your Xian family?"
Xian Zi Ai was not surprised at all that Princess Hanyu knew about this matter, but it was a bit strange that Princess Hanyu would ask about such a trivial matter, and expressed her anger, and replied respectfully and submissively: "Yes, Zi Ai has chosen a person for the Prime Minister."
The concubine is indeed a slave of the Xian family. She was originally Xiaochun, a slave who served Zi Ai's mother, and was later given away by her mother to her beloved princess. Xiaochun's mother was also the dowry girl of Zi Ai's mother back then. Now Xiaochun's mother is the son of the housekeeper of the Xian family.
's daughter-in-law."
Princess Hanyu stared at Xian Ziyi, "Do you care about Guan Yupeng?"
"He is Zi Ai's husband. It is Zi Ai's duty to serve her husband well and make her husband happy. Zi Ai has to think about her husband. He is the person Zi Ai will rely on for the rest of her life." Xian Zi Ai answered seriously, feeling in her heart
After weighing it all the time, Xian Ziqian said rightly that Princess Hanyu must never be able to detect her so-called admiration for Prince Yu. The only way is to make Princess Hanyu believe that she is sincere and caring about Guan Yupeng.
"Do you care about finding a beautiful girl for your husband?" Princess Hanyu said sarcastically.
Xian Zi Ai sighed softly and said slowly: "Zi Ai does not dare to compare with Princess Hanyu. Princess Hanyu is the Empress Dowager's treasure and the daughter of the current emperor. She is an extremely noble person. Zi Ai is just another person."
Xiaojia Biyu is just ordinary, and my mother-in-law doesn’t like it, so I can only do this, as long as my husband never gives up Zi Ai.”
Princess Hanyu's expression was still indifferent, but it was no longer as cold and ruthless as before, "Didn't you already put Mrs. Guan under house arrest? And I believe that you will never let Mrs. Guan stand up again. However, I still want to fight with you.
Tell me, if I ask you to trade Guan Yupeng for your life, will you do it?"
Xian Zi Ai was stunned for a moment, thinking quickly in her mind, and then said with a surprised look on her face, "Zi Ai doesn't understand what Princess Hanyu means, why would she exchange her husband's life for Zi Ai's life?"
Princess Hanyu took a sip of tea and seemed to appreciate the panic on Xian Zi'ai's face. She said slowly: "Xian Zi'ai is not here. It just so happens that I can talk to you more freely. When you marry into the Guan family, you should listen more or less.
I have talked about the relationship between the Guan family and the old Shen Motou. The Guan family was Shen Motou's old subordinate. He had betrayed Shen Motou to get his current status and was appreciated by the emperor. However, he has never been willing to obey the emperor and his grandmother's arrangements all his life.
He is bent on usurping power. In the past few days, an informant has received a report saying that Guan Yupeng has been secretly contacting Shen Motou's old department with the intention of rebelling. You said, if Guan Yupeng really wants to rebel, you will be with your husband-in-law.
To be executed, or to catch Guan Yupeng early and make him commit suicide in exchange for his own life?"
"Zi Ai doesn't know." Xian Zi Ai lowered her head. This was the first time she heard about this matter. It turned out that Guan Yupeng had such ambitions. She really couldn't tell at all. She hid her doubts and said with fear, "
Zi Ai really doesn’t know. Zi Ai only knows and obeys Princess Hanyu’s arrangements. Zi Ai can do whatever you want her to do. This is the only possibility for Zi Ai to survive.”
Princess Hanyu seemed to be quite satisfied with Xian Ziai's answer. She softened her tone and said with an attitude towards a loyal servant: "Well, in this case, I will not treat you as if you don't exist. I may encounter you."
You don't care about anything, but the premise is that you must keep a close eye on Guan Yupeng for this princess so that he cannot do anything treasonous."
Xian Zi Ai breathed a sigh of relief and slowly raised her head. The expression on her face was one of fear and uneasiness. She stared blankly at Princess Hanyu and said stupidly: "Zi Ai really doesn't know how to keep an eye on her husband and take care of a good relationship."
The government has already made Zi Ai feel uneasy, how can we inquire about my husband's affairs under such circumstances?"
"It's very simple. You don't have to think too much. I will tell you what to do. In my eyes, he is really a good chess piece given by God." Princess Hanyu smiled slightly and said with determination, "First
Step, this princess will let Guan Yucheng guard the border for Guan Yupeng. Of course, the premise is that this princess needs
You give Mrs. Guan a dose of medicine to make her confused. This old woman is the most hateful. Then I will ask my grandmother to tell my father that Guan Yupeng should stay in the capital to take care of his mother in recognition of his many years of hard work at the border.
This princess will set an example and let Guan Yucheng go to the border in place of her brother, without missing the love between her children."
Xian Ziai's face was still blank. After listening to Princess Hanyu's words, she seemed to understand somewhat and said: "Oh, this means that he cannot have the power at the border, so there is no way, right.
Just like the current mother-in-law, although she is still the head of the Guan Mansion, Zi Ai is only temporarily handling the matter for her.
Regarding matters at home, she was only temporarily under house arrest in her own courtyard. According to the palace's requirements, her mother-in-law still had to help her brother-in-law prepare for the wedding. However, she actually had no power at all. Princess, you are getting married.
It's not her turn to come forward, the palace will prepare everything."
Princess Hanyu nodded, sneered and said: "I will ask my father to declare to the public that although I am the emperor's beloved daughter and the most beloved granddaughter of the Queen Mother, I am not willing to use my status to bully the elders of the Guan Mansion.
The young master and his wife would rather let their husband, Guan Yucheng, the second young master of the Guan family, go to the border, leaving Guan Yupeng, the eldest young master of the Guan family, to stay at the border to take care of them.
She took care of the sick Mrs. Guan, and sent the palace doctor to check on Mrs. Guan's condition every day. She forced Guan Yupeng to stay in the Guan Mansion and could not leave, cutting off his contacts with those who secretly interacted with her. When the opportunity is right, I, the princess, want to
Use him to not only deal with all the people who hinder Brother Yu, but also use him to put Brother Yu on the throne! Then you will need to kill your relatives out of justice."
Xian Ziai lowered her head and said nothing. In the eyes of Princess Hanyu, she was just a chess piece. Now she had to pretend to be a stupid chess piece who didn't understand anything. The mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole followed. Who won in the end was all that mattered.
Hearing footsteps outside, it must be Xian Zisu's return. Princess Hanyu raised her head and looked outside. There was a vague figure walking towards the door. As the footsteps got closer and closer, the figure became clearer and clearer.
It was Xian Ziqian who had just left. She was casually admiring the surrounding scenery while walking.
"I'm back." Princess Hanyu greeted her not too politely, "Mr. Xuan, are you worried about your staying here? Tell him next time, don't overact the show!"
