Just as Huai Moran guessed, about an hour later, news came from the palace: Liang Yecheng, the former Minister of Household Affairs, was dismissed from his official position and returned to his fields. But what they did not expect was that the new Minister of Household Affairs turned out to be the prince's man.
The emperor is not a fool. Over the years, he can naturally tell who is the princeling and who is the three princes. But no one is wrong. Everyone knows it well and lives in peace. So, Huai Moran analyzed it,
It is not difficult to draw a conclusion: the emperor is weaving a conspiracy.
"The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is in charge of financial transactions. If he makes any mistakes, the emperor will naturally hold him accountable. When the time comes, he will find someone to... connect him with the master. Then, the master is finished." Ye.
Si Ningmei expressed his opinion.
Leng Ao's expression was also a little serious. He thought about it and said calmly: "It seems that I have to go and talk to Mr. An." This Mr. An is naturally the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue at this time, An Zhixiang.
After the two of them finished talking, they waited for Huai Moran to express her opinion. However, they did not wait until she spoke. They couldn't help but raise their eyes in surprise, only to find that she was sipping tea calmly at this time, seemingly not paying much attention to this matter.
care.
Seeing that both of them were looking at her with disapproval, Huai Moran couldn't help but laugh, and said lightly: "Don't look at me, I'm just thinking about many things, which are beautiful but may not come true."
"What do you mean?" Leng Ao and the two said in unison.
Huai Moran said calmly: "Since the emperor did this, he naturally understood that we would think so. He is not stupid and would not know that this would only arouse our vigilance and disgust. Do you think that he would blatantly declare war on me at this time?
?”
Leng Ao and the two did not speak.
Huai Moran sneered: "He is not a fool. I didn't say how many shops my Chongzi Villa had that day. He naturally understood that I had reservations in my words. He didn't dare to touch Chongzi Villa because there was no reason and no reason.
Afraid of public dissatisfaction, if that’s the case, if Zhongzishan Villa has a good relationship with Mr. An and provides free regular funding to the Ministry of Household Affairs, do you think... the emperor will still deal with Mr. An? "
Leng Ao's eyes lit up, and he said with some surprise: "You mean, the emperor knew that we would think so and anticipated our solution, so he deliberately pushed Mr. An to this position."
There was a touch of contempt on Huai Moran's face, and her eyes were full of sarcasm. She yawned and said funnyly: "It's just asking us to pay for Chongzi Villa."
"Why not let Mr. An be careful every step he takes, and then we also arrange for people to monitor those who are unfavorable to him?" Ye Si said somewhat unwillingly.
Huai Moran rolled his eyes at him, "Do you think the emperor will give you this opportunity? Mr. An became the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but at the same time, no one in the Ministry of Revenue except Mr. Liang has changed. What does this mean? What does it mean?
He is the only 'enemy' in the entire household department. The others are all the Third Prince's lackeys. Can you target one or all of them? Even if Chongzi Villa has this ability, we still have more important things that cannot be consumed.
If you don’t have this energy, you may be able to scare the snake away and get bitten back.”
Ye Si stopped talking. He naturally understood that Huai Moran was not joking, so he became a little irritated.
Huai Moran said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't just suffer the loss of being dumb. The people will know twice as much as how much we give to the emperor at Chongzi Villa. At the same time, if Chongzi Villa wants to lay off a few employees, the people will only feel it."
, Chongzi Villa is so loyal and patriotic, but for the sake of the country, he had to wrong himself. This kind of behavior is so noble, and so on. They may even feel that the royal family is too bullying and weak, otherwise how could they let a little
How can the villa bear such huge financial support?"
"What's more..." Huai Moran smiled slyly, "Didn't I ask you to implement a 'shareholding' system? Those ministers will not wait to suffer losses."
Ye Si was a little excited and said: "Master, this is really a wonderful trick."
Huai Moran smiled lightly and didn't say much. She came from the 21st century. Although she had a job that didn't reveal her identity, she also had some hobbies of her own, which was reading ancient books. Because of this, she couldn't help but flip through the files.
It would be so strenuous. Unlike novels, the "palace battles" recorded in ancient books are more exciting and realistic. With the royal thoughts, she saw the late Qing Dynasty from the Xia, Shang and Western Zhou Dynasties, and it was impossible to understand it.
After reaching the conclusion and countermeasures, Ye Si left the Prince's Mansion excitedly, while Leng Ao looked at Huai Moran with a faint look, staring directly at the hair on the latter's body. He looked back and said lightly: "Mo Ran, I suddenly realized that you
You were born to live in this environment. No one can win you over politically."
Huai Moran was slightly startled. Apparently she didn't expect Leng Ao to "praise" her so much. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said with full displeasure: "Ao, are you saying that I am very scheming?"
Leng Aoqing smiled lightly, shook his head and said: "Of course not, I just feel that when you are playing with power... you have a kind of brilliance that makes people fascinated and impressed."
Huai Moran smiled, cupped her hands and said, "Oh, thank you for the compliment. With your compliment, I will definitely be able to have a good sleep." After saying that, she yawned again, Leng Ao stood up hurriedly and said calmly: "
Then have a good rest, and I will call you when the time comes for dinner."
Huai Moran nodded repeatedly, stood up and stretched out, and then said in a strange tone: "Of course I have to scream, I also want to eat well so that I can go to the 'war' in the evening."
Leng Ao naturally understood what she meant and didn't point it out. He just quietly exited the room.
Huai Moran turned around the moment he exited, and the smile on her face disappeared at the same time. Every day she stayed with Leng Ao, she was very happy and felt extremely relaxed. She even felt that they seemed to be born to be brothers and sisters. This kind of
The illusion made her almost forget Leng Ao's feelings for her.
The naked tenderness in Leng Ao's eyes when he looked at her just now made her a little unable to resist, so she could only find an excuse to let him leave.
However, I finally got some free time, so let’s take a nap.
With this thought in mind, Huai Moran came to the bed, threw himself down on the bed safely, covered with a warm and fragrant quilt, and fell into the fragrance of dreams for a moment.
In the dream, she stood on a high beacon tower and looked into the distance, hoping to see her lover leading the troops to fight. However, she was the only one watching from the beginning to the end. The person she was waiting for seemed to be far away.
It has appeared before, but it seems that... it has never appeared.
Huai Mo Ran was forced to wake up by Liang Chen. It was not that Liang Chen was too bold, but Huai Mo Ran had a nightmare. She dreamed about the thing she was most afraid of, dreaming that he might be buried in the other party's flames, and she burst into tears.
Huai Moran wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes in embarrassment and said awkwardly: "I had a nightmare."
Liangchen raised his eyebrows and said worriedly: "My Lady, you really don't need to worry about the master. The master is blessed with good fortune and will definitely return safely."
Um? Huai Moran looked at Liangchen inexplicably. Liangchen took a long breath and said: "Have you forgotten? In your nightmare, you have been shouting, 'Ye Heng, come back', but you are worried that I will die. Madam, what have you done?"
Nightmare, so scary?"
Huai Moran didn't say anything. She lay there and let Liangchen wipe the cold sweat from her forehead with a wet handkerchief. She said feebly: "It's not a dream, it's just..." She couldn't find him, that's all.
.
"That's it..." Liangchen repeated with a frown, but when she saw Huai Moran looking distracted, she stopped asking questions. After straightening the curtains, she asked: "Your Majesty, are you still going to Miss Xiaoxiao tonight?"
What? How about I go back to the girl, tell her that you are not feeling well, and ask her to come over, or go over to visit her tomorrow?"
Huai Moran rubbed her temples, and then she remembered that she had made an appointment with Xiaoxiao. She shook her head and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, you have someone prepare hot water, and I'll go there after I take a shower."
"Don't you need dinner? It's about time." Liangchen reminded.
Huai Moran raised his eyes and realized that the room was already lit, and it was dark outside the window. Only a few glazed palace lanterns were lit alone. He didn't expect it to be so late. Huai Moran shook his head: "That's all, come back later for supper, you
Get someone ready quickly, my body is cold and sticky, I feel really uncomfortable."
Liangchen hurriedly agreed, and after a while, the servants prepared the hot water. After Huaimoran hurriedly took a bath, tidied up, and then took Liangchen to Xiao Xiangyuan.
The sound of the piano is like the waves on the river, and like the moonlight in the sky, it has its own kind of light, which is fascinating. Huai Moran listened quietly, remembering that the first time he saw Xiaoxiao, he left because of the sound of the piano, but at that time,
That Xiaoxiao was still the gentle and lovely hostess in everyone's hearts, but now...
Now, she is standing in front of the gate of Xiaoxiang Garden, feeling amused by her own thoughts. She is still the mistress of the Prince's Mansion, because Baili Yeheng still loves her the most.
Thinking of this, Huai Moran was a little disappointed, so she knocked on the door in good time. After a while, the black girl opened the door in the afternoon. When she saw it was Huai Moran, a smile suddenly appeared in her tearful eyes. She was so excited.
He knelt down and said: "Your Majesty! Welcome Your Majesty!"
Seeing that one of her cheeks was red and swollen, Huai Moran naturally knew how she was treated. He frowned and said softly, "Get up." After that, he walked around her and walked into the Xiao|Xiang Pavilion.
It is strange to say that there are many crabapples in Xiao|Xiang Pavilion, but they are named after Xiao|Xiang. On the other hand, there is not a single crabapple in Huai Mo Ran's other courtyard, but it still has such a common name. But Huai Mo Ran thought about it again, originally
This Haitang Garden is the residence of the Crown Princess. Baili Yeheng must have thought about this a long time ago before he named it. He was just waiting for Xiaoxiao to move in. Unfortunately, one of them came out and took theirs away.
All plans were disrupted. Thinking of this, Huai Mo Ran felt a little inexplicably irritable.
All the way to the main hall of Xiao|Xiangyuan, Huai Moran saw Xiaoxiao put away the piano from a distance, stood up and saluted with a smile.
"No need to be polite." Huai Moran waved his hand "generously", but had no real intention to help him forward.
Xiaoxiao didn't expect Huai Moran to be like this, and immediately it was the same as last time, neither getting up nor getting up. Huai Moran raised his face, and Liangchen hurriedly stepped forward to help Xiaoxiao up. Xiaoxiao's face was red and white, and her eyes were
There was a bit of anger in her, but she buttoned her sleeves tightly and held back.
Huai Moran smiled gently and said calmly: "You all can go out."
Liangchen immediately took the black maid out of the door, and then closed the door. The moment she closed the door, she nodded slightly to Huai Moran, and then disappeared into the darkness silently.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. Huai Moran sat at the top and looked at Xiaoxiao with a smile. Xiaoxiao stepped forward, her lips under the veil slightly raised, and said leisurely: "The tea sent by sister Moran smells so good. It is indeed the emperor's
Rewarded."
Huai Moran took the tea and said calmly: "As long as you like it, I still have some. I'll ask Liangchen to bring it to you tomorrow."
Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "Then why are you so embarrassed?"
Huai Moran waved his hand and said leisurely: "Whatever you like, I will naturally give it to you. Otherwise, when the prince comes back, why don't you blame me for bullying you?"
Xiaoxiao's face turned cold under her veil, but Huai Moran continued to drink tea casually.
