Chapter 456: Hitting grass just to startle the snake
Xian Zijian was startled, Xuan Yi seemed really angry.
"In the future, you should stop asking about these messy things, and try not to get involved in matters related to Xian Zi Ai. Her abilities and intelligence are enough for her to cope with the people and things she faces." Xuan Yi softened his tone and looked at
Xian Zijuan, he didn't want to have this anxiety of waiting again. She went to a place where he happened to be not, and he couldn't help at all.
In Guanfu, Xian Ziai's carriage drove into the courtyard. He hesitated for a moment and said slowly to the servant who helped her out of the carriage: "Has your husband come back? Is Aunt Chun okay? Is there anything wrong with my mother-in-law?"
Out of the corner of her eye, she could see Guan Yupeng and Guan Yucheng talking not too far away from her. Both brothers had serious expressions. They thought that Guan Yucheng was simply a despised man. If he married Princess Hanyu, he would have to hurry up.
When she went to the border to fight, what people outside saw was that Princess Hanyu was forbearing for the country. In fact, Princess Hanyu just used Guan Yucheng as a shield to avoid the comments of the world.
"The young master has come back and is discussing things with the second young master." The servant was a little curious about the whereabouts of the servant who followed Xian Zi Ai to the palace, but did not dare to say anything, "Aunt Chun has been staying in her own courtyard and has not come out.
.Mrs. Guan is okay, she takes care of her three meals a day with great care."
Xian Zi Ai nodded, then seemed to raise her head and saw Guan Yupeng not far from her. She immediately walked over meekly, and when there was still some distance, she slightly raised her voice and said, "Zi Ai has met your husband."
She looked at her toes so that the Guan brothers would not see the disdain on her lips.
"I'm back." Guan Yupeng immediately stopped what he was saying and looked at Xian Ziai. He was very satisfied with her caution. He was afraid of hearing something he shouldn't have heard, so he stopped from a distance and said hello respectfully, even though it was a small voice.
A woman coming out of a house does not break the rules. "How did things go?"
"Princess Hanyu is very satisfied with the wedding ornaments prepared by the Xian family shop for Princess Hanyu, and added some more items."
He glanced at Guan Yupeng and stopped talking.
Seeing Xian Zi'ai's nervous and uneasy expression, Guan Yupeng was a little puzzled. He frowned slightly and glanced at Guan Yucheng, signaling him to leave first. Then he approached Xian Zi'ai with a smile, pretending to be casual and asked: "Are you tired? Look at you.
His face looked a little tired."
Xian Zi Ai shook her head, glanced at Guan Yu Cheng's back uneasily, and said softly: "When Zi Ai was at Princess Hanyu's place, she overheard Princess Hanyu and the Queen Mother saying a few words. Zi Ai didn't know
Do you want to tell my husband?"
Guan Yupeng frowned and immediately said: "Of course I have to say it."
Xian Zi Ai still had a hesitant look on her face. After hesitating for a while, she slowly said: "Zi Ai heard from Princess Hanyu and the Queen Mother that their voices were very low. Zi Ai did not hear all the dialogue, but she vaguely heard
It seems to mean that I want my brother-in-law to go to the border."
Guan Yupeng nodded, "Yucheng already knows about this matter. It was secretly spread by our informants in the palace. The emperor also mentioned it to me personally, saying that Princess Hanyu did not want her husband to be raped.
It was said that she was a second-generation ancestor who relied on the imperial palace to survive. She specifically proposed to the emperor that her husband should go to the border to stay for a year and a half after getting married and then return to the capital. In this way, Yu Cheng could gain fame. That day
Didn't I already tell my mother in front of her? It's okay. I'm here to help you at the border. Nothing will happen to Yu Cheng. You don't have to worry too much. It won't affect our customs."
Xi Zi Ai immediately acted relaxed and said with a sigh, "That's fine. It's just because Princess Hanyu didn't want her brother-in-law to be ridiculed, so Zi Ai was overly concerned. When her husband-in-law and mother-in-law talked about it that day, she just thought it was...
My husband was angry and said it casually, and it turned out to be true."
Guan Yupeng smiled slightly and said, "You are now helping Princess Hanyu, and she seems to like you helping her. You should get closer to her more, so that we don't know the news too late."
Xian Zi Ai immediately nodded and said: "Zi Ai understands. By the way, my husband just said that you can help my brother-in-law at the border. But when Zi Ai heard Princess Hanyu and the Queen Mother talking about this matter, the Queen Mother seemed to mean that she only wanted her brother-in-law.
If you go to the border, you should stay in the capital."
"The Queen Mother said she wanted to keep me in the capital?" Guan Yupeng blurted out, his voice a bit sharp.
Xian Zi Ai seemed to be frightened, and said nervously: "Yes, Zi Ai heard it right. This is what the Queen Mother means. She said that the two young masters of the Guan Mansion cannot be placed at the border. Since Princess Hanyu
After marrying the second young master of the Guan family, you must cultivate him well, so that you can give the second young master a good reputation and future. As for the eldest young master of the Guan family, let him stay at the border to avoid the two brothers.
At the border, it is easy for disputes to arise."
Xian Ziai deliberately speeded up her speech, as if she was very confused, and expressed what she wanted to say directly and clearly.
Guan Yupeng's face suddenly became very ugly, and he said in a somewhat reluctant tone: "What else did the two of them say?"
"I didn't hear anything else." Xian Zi Ai said hesitantly, "Zi Ai didn't dare to get too close. The Queen Mother didn't seem to like Zi Ai too much. When she talked to Princess Hanyu, she was in the inner room. Zi Ai and
The two sisters, Zi Jian, had been standing outside. Zi Jian had stayed in the Queen Mother's courtyard and was familiar with some of the servants there, so she said a few words. Zi Ai had been standing there until she heard her husband's name being mentioned.
, I held my breath and listened carefully, but I only heard these few words."
"Go to the palace tomorrow and try to find out if there is anything else related to me." Guan Yupeng said immediately, "Find an excuse to go to the palace, or ask the Xian family shop to come up with a new style. Women like to be beautiful.
Xian's shop is specialized in clothing and accessories, so it shouldn't be difficult."
"This -" Xian Zi Ai was a little embarrassed and said softly, "There seems to be something important in the palace tomorrow. When Zi Ai passed by, the Queen Mother's spirit was not very good. She seemed to have caught some cold. I heard that the emperor will be going there tomorrow.
I will personally visit the Queen Mother and pray for her, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to get to the palace tomorrow.”
Guan Yupeng pondered for a while, "Where will they go to pray? Is it in the Queen Mother's Palace?"
Xian Ziai shook her head and said softly: "Princess Hanyu means that she will also go to pray for the Queen Mother tomorrow. It seems that it is in the royal temple outside the palace. That temple is very popular and attracts some dignitaries.
I will also go there to pray. Otherwise, tomorrow, Zi Ai will also go to the temple to offer incense, and maybe she can pretend to meet Princess Hanyu and the Emperor by chance."
