After coming out of Tianxiang Tower, Bei Tangjin pedaled slowly, still suspicious in her heart. Just now, Feng Xichuan and Hua Jianyue were just chatting casually and did not make things difficult for her. This made her very surprised. Feng Xichuan was really just...
Want to invite her to dinner? Is it that simple? This doesn't seem like this person's behavior.
After returning to Beitang Mansion, Beitang Feng informed Wang Yuanxiang of today's events in detail. Wang Yuanxiang smiled and said: "Beitang Jin is Afeng's sister. She has taken care of you since you were a child, so she naturally trusts you very much. Why is Afeng still worried about you?"
Have you doubted it?"
Beitang Feng always felt uneasy, as if something was unusual, but if he thought about it carefully, Beitang Jin had always trusted him very much, so he probably wouldn't doubt him, not to mention, he didn't reveal any flaws.
After listening to Beitang Feng's words, Bei Tang Ru covered her lips and smiled, with a certain amount of ridicule and a certain amount of comfort, and said: "Mom, my brother has never done such a shameful thing, so he feels guilty!"
Wang Yuanxiang rolled her eyes at Bei Tangru and said, "What do you mean by regret? We just want to get rid of the stumbling block!"
Hearing this, Beitang Feng glanced at Beitang Ru and said, "Aru is right, I do feel a little guilty. After all, she has taken care of all my food and clothing at the border for so many years." He said suddenly.
He lowered his head, but although he felt a little guilty, it was only for a moment, and he soon returned to normal.
Wang Yuanxiang said: "Why should A Feng do this? When it comes time to divide the family and make a prince, she may not give up the title to you. Therefore, there is destined to be a life and death competition between you. Isn't it useless for you to sigh now?
of?"
Beitang Feng said: "Afeng knows, mother, there is another important thing to tell mother today, that is, King Ming and Duke Qi also have contacts with Beitang Jin. Do you think what is going on?"
When Wang Yuanxiang heard this, he frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Bei Tang Jin is as beautiful as a fairy, and King Ming has always liked beautiful women. This is not surprising, but if Bei Tang Jin gets the favor of King Ming, it will be a big deal."
Alright!" King Ming is deeply loved by His Majesty. If even King Ming sides with Bei Tang Jin, then it will be extremely difficult and dangerous for them to get rid of Bei Tang Jin!
She thought for a moment and then said: "Even if we fail to assassinate, there is a better way. I don't believe that Princess Yongchang would associate with a woman with a bad reputation and a slutty woman." When she said this, there was a sharp look in her eyes.
Exposed, extremely ruthless.
When Bei Tangru heard this, she covered her lips and smiled. This plan was a series of tricks, tailor-made for Bei Tangjin. Even if she was born as a god, she might not be able to escape this disaster!
At this time, Beitang Jin was writing on the table. Her mind was a little confused. She was dictating the "Heart Sutra".
Recently, there are always some things that she can't figure out. One of them is Feng Xichun. Did he hear the conversation between her and Feng Chen? There is also the fact that the forces behind Feng Xichun are doing...
What is it for? He is just an idle prince, why did His Majesty the Emperor send him so many people? Plus the 400,000 soldiers and horses in Hua Jianyue's hands, it is enough to launch a palace coup, or...
Could it be that...
Thinking of this, she suddenly stopped writing and was horrified. Could it be that Feng Xichuan was the power left by His Majesty to protect the eldest prince? But His Majesty is now suspicious. How can he trust Feng Xichen so much? If this is not the reason, then what is it?
Woolen cloth?
Bei Tangjin racked her brains and thought for a long time, and suddenly she felt a little pain in her head, but what caused her more headache was Xia Sha. Yesterday Ling Shuang reported that Xia Sha came this time to prepare to attack her, she thought
Want to kill her.
But, with her wisdom, she won’t be able to use martial arts anymore, right? Moreover, in terms of martial arts, she is indeed far behind me! She can’t catch up in a year and a half, so she already has a perfect plan.
!Xiasha is the princess of Mandala Kingdom, what method will she use to deal with herself?
Bei Tangjin shook her head. Although she had some understanding of Xia Sha's temperament, she was perverse and uninhibited, and she couldn't figure out her thoughts for a moment.
After a while, she raised her head from the desk again. In a few days, it would be her grandmother's birthday. Let's get over this hurdle first and then think about other things. She thought like this, rubbed her brows, and suddenly felt extremely tired.
It's more energy-consuming than fighting a tough battle. She has met her opponent this time. It's a competition of mind and endurance. She doesn't know if she can cope with it.
Bei Tangjin was thinking about things. At this time, Qiu Rong came in from the outside. Looking at Bei Tangjin's tired face, he comforted him: "Miss, you should have a good rest these days. It will be the old lady's birthday in a few days, and Miss even more..."
I’m going to be busy for a while.”
Bei Tangjin nodded and said: "I understand, you should also have a good rest." She said that she was ready to remove makeup and cleanse her face, but Qiurong's face was a bit ugly and said: "Miss, why don't you
What about the people assigned by Madam?"
Bei Tangjin smiled, took the silk handkerchief from Qiu Rong's hand, and said, "You have been with me for so many years. I believe you will not disappoint me."
"But, miss!" Qiu Rong hesitated to speak.
Bei Tangjin looked at her with raised eyebrows and asked, "Why, don't you have confidence in yourself?"
Qiu Rong said frankly: "These people sent by Madam are all elites who have been trained for several years. Qiu Rong is really worried that there will be omissions, so..."
Bei Tangjin shook his head and said, "Why are you so scared? This is not like you!"
Qiu Rong has been with her for so many years and has long been able to stand alone. She doesn't need to worry at all, but the other party is obviously not confident enough in herself.
"Miss, slave..." Qiurong was still very embarrassed.
Bei Tangjin sighed and said: "That's all, in that case, you can tell me about the situation in the house in the near future." The other party was not confident, and she couldn't catch the duck.
Qiu Rong followed his instructions and told the secret actions of the maids and wives sent by Wang Yuanxiang. Bei Tangjin listened attentively and nodded from time to time: "You did a good job."
"But, miss, although I grew up in the Beitang family, I have been at the border for so many years. It is inevitable that I will have some oversights about the affairs of the inner house. I am afraid that..." Qiu Rong became more and more worried as he spoke.
Bei Tangjin said: "Although you are not very clear about these things, you must have kept them in mind now after being taught by grandma!" When Bei Tangjin entered the palace, he also brought Qiu Rong in and invited him.
The nanny of Princess Yongchang taught her some rules and regulations in the palace and the inner house. With Qiu Rong's diligence and intelligence, she should have kept them in mind by now. Why is she so uneasy?
"But..." Qiu Rong was still very worried. Her eyes had been twitching in the past few days, worried that her omission would implicate Bei Tangjin.
Bei Tangjin comforted him: "Okay, I understand. I will watch you from behind so that you don't have to worry all day long."
After hearing this, Qiu Rong felt relieved, nodded, finished washing Bei Tang Jin, and then left.
After taking a nap the next day, Bei Tangjin was called to the study by Bei Tang Xun. When she arrived, Bei Tang Feng and Bei Tang Xun seemed to have been talking for a while.
Seeing that Bei Tang Jin was wearing a snow-colored robe, Bei Tang Xun was stunned for a moment, her expression a little stiff. Bei Tang Jin knew that Bei Tang Xun was thinking of her mother, who loved snow-colored clothes and plum blossoms the most during her lifetime, and
The robe she wore today was embroidered with plum blossoms.
Bei Tang Jin lowered his eyes and pretended not to notice Bei Tang Xun's expression. Ying Ying prostrated and saluted, "A Jin pays homage to father."
His expression was stiff for only a moment. Bei Tang Xun quickly returned to his usual serious expression. But when he saw Bei Tang Jin coming, he was actually very happy. His daughter was smart and cautious, a hundred times stronger than a man. Having such a daughter
, he is naturally proud, especially when someone mentions it. Although he is humble on the face, he is extremely proud in his heart.
"As a father, I have something to do today, and I would like to hear your opinion." Beitang Xun went straight to the topic.
Bei Tangjin said respectfully: "Father, please speak." She had already sat down next to Beitang Feng while she was speaking, casually picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
Beitang Xun said: "What does Ajin think of the current political situation in the dynasty?"
Beitang Jin frowned, thought for a moment, and said cautiously: "My daughter feels that the current political situation is stable and the power among the various families is very balanced."
When Beitang Xun heard this, he shook his head and said, "Ajin knows that this is not what my father is asking. What I want to ask is, what do you think of the princes in the court?"
Beitang Jin's brows deepened. It's just that she is a woman and should not discuss these important matters in the court. However, Beitang Xun has always raised her as a son. Furthermore, with her military exploits, if Beitang Xun has any marquis in the future,
It would also be passed to her, so she would not shy away from it, and said bluntly: "Could it be..." When she spoke, she carefully observed Beitang Xun's expression.
Beitang Xun liked this about Beitang Jin, and his nerves were extremely sharp. He said: "Both the seventh prince and the fifth prince have asked for a father, and promised him important positions in the court."
Beitang Jin shook his head and said: "But, His Majesty the Emperor's preferred candidate is the eldest prince Fengying. Father, why do you..."
"You are right. Your Majesty does want to pass the throne to the eldest prince. However, if Fengying is still good at playing the piano and painting, if she is made emperor, I am afraid she will not be as good as the fifth prince Feng Ying."
Beitang Jin knew that Feng Yu must have promised Beitang Xun an extremely important position in the court, otherwise, he would not be so shaken.
However, she was not prepared to help Beitang Xun, nor did she want to say anything substantive. She just said: "The Rongguo Palace and the Xinguo Palace are equally powerful. My daughter feels that her father should wait and see for a while."
After listening to this, Beitang Xun finally sighed and said: "As a father, I naturally know that I have to choose the best, but when the dust settles, it will be too late to choose. How can the icing on the cake be the icing on the cake?
?”
Bei Tangjin nodded and said, "My daughter is stupid."
It was the worry that he would miss the best opportunity that made Bei Tang Xun so sad and depressed, not knowing how to make a decision. However, calling Bei Tang Jin here did not help him, but made him even more worried.
However, he turned around and said: "Father, I heard that you and Prince Ming have been in contact recently, is it true?
Bei Tang Jin knew that Bei Tang Xun would ask about this matter. After all, everyone wanted to win over King Ming. Bei Tang Xun was just having the same thoughts as other officials.
Jin said in the Northern Tang Dynasty: "His Royal Highness Prince Ming went to Yumiao Palace from time to time to study piano music with Princess Yongchang. Therefore, my daughter had the honor to talk to her several times." What she said was indeed true. Prince Ming went to Yumiao Palace twice, and he also went to Yumiao Palace twice.
Therefore, there is no loophole in what she said.
However, Beitang Xun was a little disappointed when he heard this and said: "King Ming is a weirdo and a thief. He has a perverse temperament and is elusive. A Jin should be careful when dealing with him." King Ming is known to like to make things difficult for others.
One year, when King Ming attended the Queen Mother's birthday, a military officer gave the Queen Mother a picture of Magu celebrating her birthday. King Ming saw it and asked him in public how to interpret the meaning of the picture.
The military attache did not expect Feng Xichun to ask him, and he only heard that this picture was personally made by Ren Fan of the previous dynasty. It was already extremely rare at this time, so it was very precious, and he had to buy it with great difficulty.
Yes, his adviser told him that if he gave this picture to the Queen Mother as a birthday gift, the Queen Mother would be very happy, because the Queen Mother liked Ren Fan's painting style, which was delicate and expressive.
The military attache did not know the meaning of this picture of Magu celebrating her birthday, so he said: "This picture is a good thing to celebrate her birthday."
The emperor, the concubines in the harem, and all the ministers in the court were all present, and they all laughed when they heard what was said. But the military attaché was confused. What was wrong with his answer?
There was a little princess who was smart and favored by the emperor. She was still young, but she had been educated by the royal family since she was a child. She was very smart. She told the general: "What you said is not wrong, but the lips of a donkey are not good for a horse."
It’s just your mouth!”
The military attache reacted slowly and was still puzzled. Seeing the confusion on his face, everyone laughed uncontrollably.
Feng Xiling asked him again, "Who is the woman in this picture, where is she from, and where is she practicing Taoism?"
The military attache did not answer the question just now. When this question came out, he was even more confused and shook his head and said he didn't know.
Feng Xichun then said: "I asked you three questions, but you shook your head and said you don't know. What should I do?" He smiled gracefully as he spoke.
Later, the allusion of "I don't know" changed its meaning to mean that a person is stupid, stupid, and doesn't know anything.
After this incident, the military attache was often laughed at, and other officials did not dare to offend King Ming, for fear that the other party would be unhappy and they would be like this military attaché. Therefore, when they saw King Ming's bicycle frame on the street, they
He had to give way three feet away, and when he met Prince Ming in the palace, he had to salute from a distance, for fear of being accused of being disrespectful by Prince Ming. At that time, everyone from the prince to the ministers in the court were afraid of Prince Ming, so at that time
To this day, when King Ming is mentioned, people are filled with fear and worry.
Therefore, Beitang Xun reminded Beitang Jin in this way, which was indeed his concern for the other party. Naturally, he was also worried that Beitang Jin would offend King Ming and bring trouble to Beitang Mansion.
Beitang Jin said: "Father, please rest assured that my daughter will be careful in her words and deeds and will not be found guilty of any mistakes."
Beitang Xun nodded and said, "Okay, you all go back."
Beitang Feng and Beitang Jin resigned.
When going out, Beitang Feng asked Beitang Jin: "When will sister prepare to give the gift to grandma?"
Bei Tangjin naturally knew that Beitang Feng was very worried that she would change her mind midway. After all, that was one of their strategies. If she really changed it to another gift, the effect would be greatly different.
In order to reassure Beitang Feng, Beitang Jin said with a smile: "It's only been a few days, has Feng'er found a gift for grandma?"
Beitang Feng shook his head and said: "I have been out for many days, but there is nothing to like. I still bother my sister to take a look at it for Feng'er."
Bei Tangjin knew that Beitang Feng had chosen the gift a long time ago. The reason why he said this was not to let her know what gift he had given her, so she said with a troubled face: "Sister, I also want to see Feng'er, but
Recently, Princess Yongchang invited Sister to play chess again. Sister, I am really ashamed of Feng'er."
However, Beitang Feng seemed very considerate and comforted: "My sister is trying to please Princess Yongchang for the sake of Beitang Mansion. How could Feng'er spoil my sister's important affairs? Therefore, my sister does not need to blame herself. Besides, Feng'er has grown up.
Sister, you must have confidence in Feng'er!"
Bei Tangjin looked at Beitang Feng's well-behaved appearance and thought to herself, I'm afraid you have already thought of ways to destroy the relationship between me and Yongchang. However, she was slightly angry in her heart, but her face was still soft, and she said softly:
"Feng'er has grown up, so I can rest assured."
While the two were talking, a burly general came towards him, saluted Bei Tangjin and said, "Zang Feng pays homage to General Yurong."
Bei Tangjin smiled and said: "I am the young lady in the boudoir at this time, you don't need to salute me anymore."
Zang Feng still shook his head and said: "Although the general is recuperating at home, he is still a general and Zang Feng's general."
Beitang Jin knew that Zang Feng was honest and stubborn, so he smiled and said, "That's fine, you can worship me if you want."
Zang Feng nodded towards Bei Tang Jin and turned around and entered Bei Tang Xun's study, as if it was an important matter.
Bei Tangjin looked at the other party's back and smiled softly. Bei Tangfeng saw Bei Tangjin laughing suddenly and was surprised and asked: "Sister, why are you laughing?"
Bei Tangjin asked, "What do Feng'er think of Zang Feng?"
Beitang Feng didn't know why the other party asked, so he said: "Zang Feng has a kind and honest personality, but is a bit stubborn. He has great martial arts skills and is a rare general."
Bei Tangjin smiled and shook his head, saying, "That's not what I'm asking. What I'm asking is, what if Su Tao is betrothed to him?"
Beitang Feng suddenly realized, and said thoughtfully: "Feng'er feels that this person will definitely live up to what Sister has entrusted him to do!"
Bei Tangjin nodded, with a rare knowing smile on his face.
However, Beitang Feng said this, but he was thinking about another thing in his heart. Beitang Jin wanted to bring Su Tao and Zang Feng together. If this was the case, he could take advantage of it.
"What are Feng'er thinking about?" Beitang Jin saw Beitang Feng thoughtful and asked softly.
Beitang Feng smiled and said: "Feng'er was thinking that it would be extremely interesting for such an honest and stubborn person to meet someone as adventurous as Su Tao!"
Bei Tangjin flicked Bei Tangfeng's forehead with her slender fingers, and teased Bei Tangfeng angrily: "When you reach the age of marriage proposal, be careful to be teased too!"
Beitang Feng's handsome eyebrows furrowed, his lovely noses wrinkled together, and he said aggrievedly: "Sister, I bullied Feng'er again!"
Bei Tangjin smiled and shook his head, comforting, and said, "Okay, it's not my sister's fault anymore, so why are you upset?"
Bei Tang Feng finally laughed after hearing this. At this time, Bei Tang Ru was standing behind the blooming plum blossoms and saw this scene. Her heart became more and more angry. She must tell her mother about this. Bei Tang Feng said that she wanted to deal with Bei Tang Jin, but she
It was obvious that he and Bei Tangjin were as close as one person!
Early the next morning, Bei Tangjin went to greet Helian. At this time, she was alone, and Wang Yuanxiang and others had not arrived yet.
Helian's face was still as rigid as usual. She asked Bei Tangjin to get up, and then ordered someone to pour tea for Bei Tangjin, and then asked: "I heard that you want to betroth Su Tao to General Zangfeng?"
When Beitang Jin heard this, he looked surprised and said respectfully: "Ajin does have this idea."
Helian seemed to be in a good mood today and said, "I heard that Zang Feng is an honest and honest person, but a bit stubborn. As Su Tao, I won't wrong her."
In Helian's eyes, Su Tao was just a maid, and she was lucky to be betrothed to a general.
Beitang Jin understood what Helian meant and said, "Grandma is right, but Ajin is very puzzled. How did grandma know about this?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Yuanxiang opened the curtain and came in, saying, "Even the little maid Sasao knows about this!"
Bei Tangjin heard what the other party meant. He was blaming her for speaking carelessly, which everyone knew.
Bei Tangjin stood up and saluted Wang Yuanxiang and said: "So that's it. But Ajin has been bored in the house all day and doesn't know much about what's going on outside. It's just that it would be a happy event if Su Tao could marry General Zangfeng.
, she herself is very willing!”
Bei Tangjin said it very respectfully, but what he actually meant was that it was a happy event for Su Tao to promise Zang Feng, so what if everyone knew about it? Shouldn't the more people know about a happy event, the better?
Wang Yuanxiang smiled and said: "Ajin is right, this is a great joy."
After she finished speaking, she bowed, and they all had tea together. Wang Yuanxiang continued: "Since Su Tao has reached the age of proposing marriage, Ajin needs someone to teach her the rules, so as not to do something wrong.
The Beitang family is not strict with its servants, and they no longer know how to discipline their servants."
Beitang Jin didn't like to listen to Wang Yuanxiang's words, but what the other party said didn't make sense, so he said, "What mother said is true, and Ajin has written it down!"
At this time, Helian also said: "You have to go to the palace to accompany Princess Yongchang to play chess all day long. Please teach your mother about this matter."
Beitang Jin didn't know why Helian had such an idea, and felt worried. If he handed Su Tao over to Wang Yuanxiang, wouldn't it be harming Su Tao? How could Wang Yuanxiang teach Su Tao well?
However, Helian spoke, and Bei Tangjin could not refute, so he had to obey, saying: "What my grandmother said is that my mother has been in charge of Zhonggui for many years, and there are many experienced grandmothers who taught Su Tao to my mother.
Jin is very relieved, Ajin thought, after being taught by her mother, even though Su Tao is stupid, she will definitely not lose the face of the Beitang family after leaving Beitang Mansion!"
Her implication is that if Su Tao loses the face of the Beitang family in the future, it will be a problem with Wang Yuanxiang's teaching. Therefore, for this reason, Wang Yuanxiang does not dare to play any tricks.
However, Wang Yuanxiang said: "My mother disagrees with Ajin's words. It is said that the master leads the door and the practice is up to the individual. If Su Tao is really stubborn, the gods will come and it will not help!" It means that I only discipline,
As for how much Su Tao can understand, it is not something she can control.
