Chapter 348 Ask the Princess to Appreciate the Plum Blossoms
Waiter Feng ordered it till the end.
This kind of trouble-making work is enough to talk about here. In his opinion, His Highness has already listened to it.
As for His Highness's thoughts on how to test Duke Fu, that is His Highness's business. He, the servant Feng, will not sharpen the knife, hand it to him, or even use it himself.
There's no need for that.
As soon as his eyes turned to Li Shao, Feng Neishi also looked back.
The cold wind blew towards his face and made his forehead hurt. He thought about Duke Fu.
Speaking of which, the Duke was also very interesting, pretending to be injured!
When Chamberlain Feng first heard the news, he couldn't believe it, but the news couldn't be wrong.
The message handed over by the master was conclusive. Although none of them saw how healthy the legs of Duke Fu were, the message from the master was unmistakable. Someone must have found definite evidence.
The Duke of Fu, who had recovered greatly from his injuries, still pretended to be injured and suggested that his Majesty let the prince go to the six departments to observe the government. There must be a deep meaning behind this.
As for the matter of exposing Duke Fu, it would definitely have to come from the crown prince.
Li Shao didn't know what the waiter beside him was thinking. He couldn't bear to let the wind blow, so he continued walking forward.
When going down the steps, he tripped without paying attention and stumbled a few steps.
Of course he didn't fall, but his face became even more ugly.
After taking two steps, his feet hurt slightly, causing him to take a breath.
As a last resort, he could only stop, move his ankles twice, and attribute the problem to his boots. Bad boots made the road difficult.
When I step on the ground again, the landing is still uncomfortable.
Li Shao's brows wrinkled.
With good legs and feet, it shouldn't be difficult to pretend to be injured, especially since Xu Jian has experience in injuring his legs, so he is very familiar with it.
But if the leg is still injured, it seems to be quite difficult to pretend. It feels like stepping on a knife when it lands. How can there not be clues?
Thinking about it this way, it is probably impossible for Xu Jian to pretend that her legs are not good enough.
"You," Li Shao looked at the servant Feng, "you suspect that his leg has healed a long time ago, but what did you hear?"
Waiter Feng shook his head quickly, and after finishing shaking, gave Li Shao a sly smile.
Meaningful.
Li Shao didn't press any further, but he already got the answer in his heart.
I'm afraid that Feng's wife heard some rumors and suspected that Xu Jian was pretending to be injured.
On the other hand, if there are rumors, it shows that someone noticed that Xu Jian was "healed".
Based on his personal experience just now, if he can't pretend to be good when he is not well, it must be because Xu Jian is not pretending to be well after he is healed.
Ah!
It seemed that he and Xu Jian disliked each other.
Li Shao was not surprised by this result. He was already annoyed with Xu Jian, but what about Xu Jian? Xu Jian wanted to overpower him!
Let him go to the Six Ministries alone to observe the government, make him anxious, and make him, or let his father, the three orphans, and even the Six Ministries officials think that it is more effective for Xu Jian to follow him. This is Xu Jian's purpose.
Li Shaoxin said, he already understood it, how could he let Xu Jian be satisfied?
He and Xu Jian were wrestling with each other. He was so annoyed with Xu Jian that he didn't dare to express his attitude of "hating him" and "it's best not to follow him" in front of his father. He could only obey his father's arrangements honestly.
Why would Xu Jian dare to defy the public?
Exposing Xu Jian's feigned injury proves that Xu Jian deliberately did not follow him. Xu Jian should explain the reason to his father himself!
The first step to debunk is, of course, testing.
Li Shao narrowed his eyes. He had to think of a good way to try.
The next day, Li Shao went to the Ministry of Rites to observe the government again after several months.
This time, without the stacks of documents prepared by Xu Jian, Li Shao felt a little idle looking at them in the yamen.
Of course, the entire Ministry of Rites did not dare to leave him too idle.
Recently, the yamen has been busy summarizing and planning for the coming year. Everyone is busy.
Feng Shangshu thought for a while and asked Li Shao to follow him, listen to him communicating with his subordinates, and analyze the situation one by one.
After all, Xu Jian had been forced to look through so many old documents, and the three orphans had taught them a lot. Li Shao was not in a fog, but just a little absent-minded.
Feng Shangshu saw it.
But he is a minister, not a sangu, so how can he do one thing and ask the prince a few questions? It's just teaching, and it's just a matter of cooperation from the students. Now the students are obviously not very cooperative.
Feng Shangshu didn't want to get into trouble on the first day, not to mention that he was busy, so he took the time to have a few words with Li Shao.
The servant Feng who was waiting on the side also noticed that Li Shao was distracted. He did not remind the prince and only looked for Feng Shangshu during lunch.
Feng Shangshu did not want to offend the prince, let alone the servants around the prince.
The king of hell is easy to deal with, but the devil is difficult to deal with.
There is no need to offend.
What's more, at noon today, my grandson brought food. It tasted home-cooked, was packed tightly, was slightly hot when opened, and was all his favorites. Feng Shangshu was in a good mood, so he said: "You are so polite, father-in-law. Speaking of which, we
They are all surnamed Feng, and they were the same family a hundred years ago."
When Feng's servant heard this, he smiled happily, and of course he said modestly: "Master Shangshu really praises the younger ones. People like the younger ones, oh..."
Who wants to be the master of a eunuch?
Unless he is a great eunuch who covers the sky with one hand and is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
He is far from being a chamberlain.
But the words are nice, which shows that Feng Shangshu is on the right track.
"His Highness said that the last time the government tour ended in a hurry, it caused a lot of trouble for the adults. This time, I still need to ask for more guidance from the elders."
Feng Shangshu said a few words of humility. Even if you listen to such words, it is not the first day he has become an official.
Of course, it was impossible for him not to give advice to His Highness, even if His Highness had to prepare snacks himself, he was always distracted and would not even dare to give advice.
Feng's servant still wanted to serve Li Shao, so he exchanged a few words with Feng Shangshu and then returned to His Highness.
Li Shao also wants to eat.
Waiter Feng was waiting to set the table and said casually: "Master Feng's place is his family's rice. It's hot and includes all the meat and vegetables. It looks delicious."
Li Shao didn't take it seriously and took the chopsticks.
Feng's wife added: "His grandson came to see him off. He is young and is very familiar with several adults in the Yamen. He left after seeing him off."
Li Shao raised his eyebrows.
In the spring, I seemed to have seen such a person, who came to give something to Feng Shangshu and was standing in the yard talking.
Li Shao saw it from the window. It was impossible for him to go out and say hello to irrelevant people. He didn't have the leisure to take a look and ignored it. The other side didn't pay attention to this and didn't know about it.
"It sounds like he is very filial," Li Shao commented.
Attendant Feng just said it casually and didn't care what the prince's reaction was.
Li Shao, on the other hand, smiled in a nonchalant manner.
It is good to be filial.
In this world, filial piety is the best thing to do.
Just like himself, as long as he is filial, his father will pamper him.
"Xu Jian's place..." Li Shao said. Seeing Feng's lower eyebrows, he said again, "It's okay."
He liked Feng's wife and was willing to let the eunuch follow him, but Li Shao didn't think he had the ability to do things.
Don't worry about causing trouble for Xu Jian. Send a few people to keep an eye on him. I'm afraid Feng's servant doesn't even have any connections.
Li Shao didn't mention it to him.
But after thinking about it, he himself has no useful people nowadays.
The guards who were replaced didn't seem to listen to him honestly.
In this case, Li Shao could only take a step back and said to Feng Neishi: "I want to find someone to follow Xu Jian. I can also give some clues about whether he is healed or not. Do you have a suitable person?"
Waiter Feng looked embarrassed.
The master is definitely not short of manpower, but he would never dare to expose that matter to the prince.
"Give me some time and I'll think of a solution," said Feng Neishi.
The people kept by the master cannot move their hands, but those who are not in front of the master and are placed on the outside can still do something so easy.
Li Shao handed over this matter to Feng Neishi.
When he first arrived at the Ministry of Rites, even if he was undecided, he pretended for a few days and returned to the East Palace after going to the Yamen.
After waiting for five or six days, Li Shao's old problem appeared again.
In the study, Xu Jian listened to Xuan Su's words.
Xuan Su has been staring at Li Shao recently.
"I went to have a drink and got back before the palace door closed."
Xu Jian was not surprised by this.
Li Shao has come and gone, but he still understands how to proceed step by step.
Eunuch Guo belongs to Eunuch Cao. If Li Shao doesn't return to the palace, Eunuch Guo may file a lawsuit.
And Li Shao probably won't sleep in Prince Jin's Mansion like before. Firstly, Prince Jin blamed him for being dishonest and causing trouble. Li Shao couldn't have no grudges. Secondly, regardless of whether Prince Jin is the person behind the scenes or not,
He was not stupid. He allowed Li Shao to stay overnight in the Jin Palace. He would not be able to explain what happened later.
Li Shao is still in the trial stage of making trouble, so he has to be honest for a few more days.
"The two people you found," Xuan Su added, "are minor officials working in the General Affairs Department and are not in the mainstream."
Xu Jian chuckled.
Those two people showed up yesterday, and their ability to deal with people is actually pretty good.
If it were with ordinary civil servants or usually ambitious generals, it would be considered silent, but Xu Jian was cautious and Shen Chen was also keen, and they would have discovered it if they showed the slightest trace.
Xu Jian still saw through but didn't tell the truth and let others follow, leaving Xuan Su to dig up the background.
Is that where the General Affairs Department is?
The person behind the scenes has "magnificent powers". Xu Jian would not be surprised if he extends his hand from anywhere. However, the other party has a complete staff. Even if Xu Jian thinks it is impossible, compared with Wang Qi and Dao Heng,
In fact, the abilities are quite good.
There are so many people nearby, and I saw him climbing over the wall last time, so it's not supposed to be someone hiding in the General Affairs Department again.
From this point of view, the person who wants to find out the details this time is probably from another lineage, that is, Li Shao.
Since Feng's servant was placed next to Li Shao, it is reasonable for him to deliberately lead Li Shao into a "leg injury" when he was making trouble.
After all, jumping over the wall that day was also a clue that Xu Jian deliberately "sold" out.
Li Shao was hesitant, but he didn't have the right manpower right now, so he handed it over to Feng Neishi.
It makes sense for Feng's wife to want to add fuel to the fire and ask people from the General Affairs Department to follow.
Xu Jian straightened her comb, got up and left the study, heading to the main courtyard.
Lin Yunyan is arranging the porridge donation.
Most of the money was given to her mother's family. She just provided money to support two people here. It was easy, but after all, it was the first thing she did after she got married. Every family built a shed side by side at the gate of the city. More or less, Fu Guogong
The house also needs to have some appearance and not be too casual.
As soon as she handed over to the two nuns, she saw Xu Jian coming in.
The nuns hurriedly stood up to say hello, and then left after finishing the conversation.
Xu Jian sat down next to Lin Yunyan and said, "How about going to Zhangping Garden? Please invite the princess to appreciate the plum blossoms."
Lin Yunyan glanced at him.
There is no shortage of plum blossoms in the Duke's Mansion. They are blooming fragrantly in the backyard. I even broke off two branches to put them in the vase.
Xu Jian was nursing a leg injury, and it was so cold that there was really no need to go outside to see the flowers.
Lin Yunyan asked directly: "What's the reason?"
Xu Jian knew that he couldn't hide it from her, so he didn't intend to hide it. He roughly told Li Shao what happened there.
Lin Yunyan:......
The ecstasy array deployed before must yield some results.
Lin Yunyan naturally knew this truth, but after all she felt sorry for Xu Jian's legs, and her tone added a bit of complaint: "You are asking for trouble."
Xu Jian smiled and accepted the words.
"I don't mind going to Zhangping Garden," Lin Yunyan added, "but the Holy One also knows that your legs are uncomfortable. He doesn't ask you to follow the prince because he just wants you to recuperate. You don't rest, but you go to enjoy the plum blossoms."
"You are a newlywed. There are so many legitimate reasons to please your wife." Xu Jian said.
Lin Yunyan scolded him: "Everyone says it's fair, but there's something wrong with you and me. Your Majesty saw me falling down in the Cining Palace with your own eyes, just to prevent you from kneeling for a while longer. I can still pull you to enjoy the cold wind."
plum?"
"It's not like you enjoy plum blossoms every day," Xu Jian comforted her, "the sun is not bad today, it's just gone."
Lin Yunyan kept her mouth shut, but she knew in her heart that she had to go on this trip.
Raising her hand and landing on Xu Jian's right leg, she pressed it gently and gently: "I'll let the doctor take a look when I get back."
Xu Jian agreed.
In the afternoon, the carriage came out of the Duke Fu's Mansion.
It's still Lin Yunyan's gorgeous car, which is particularly conspicuous under the sun.
Xu Jian lifted the curtain, exchanged a few words with Xu Bai who was escorting him out, and then the carriage slowly drove away.
When we arrived at Zhangping Garden, we still walked to the back garden. This time it was not reserved for the ladies to play, it was not reserved, and ordinary people could come in and out.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian got off the car one after another.
In the cold winter season, which is also the busiest month of the twelfth lunar month, only a few people have the leisure and grace to stroll around the garden.
Lin Yunyan took Xu Jian and walked away.
She didn't need Xu Jian to remind her. She felt that someone was watching from a distance. After all, she was someone who had escaped. She still had this sensitivity.
The two of them pretended not to know anything and walked all the way to the depths of the garden.
The two people didn't dare to follow too closely. Fortunately, the bright red snow coat was easy to recognize, and it was still noticeable from a distance.
Watching Xu Jian and Lin Yunyan go up to the rockery, the two exchanged glances, one continued to follow, and the other walked around to the other side of the lake, just in time to have a clear view of the situation on the rockery.
Therefore, those who followed saw Duke Fu's steps steady and light. People on the other side saw the princess walking down the mountain to the water side first, and somehow slipped and fell to the ground. Duke Fu immediately Run down quickly and help the princess up.
this……
It's not like there's an injury on the leg, making it difficult to exert force.
I wanted to observe more, but unfortunately the princess soiled her snow coat and lost interest, so she went back home.
The two people who followed had gained something, and couldn't help but want to receive the reward, so they circled back to Qianbu Corridor and went to the Ministry of Rites to find Feng's wife.
Waiter Feng found a deserted place: "Why are you here? Someone saw you..."
One person said: "Fu Guogong's leg must be healed."
Waiter Feng curled his lips.
Of course he knew. The master had already sent someone to tell him, but what was missing now was the evidence for the prince to believe it.
"The couple went to Zhangping Garden."
"It was a smooth climb up the mountain, but the princess fell, and Duke Fu ran to help her."
"Yes, there is a way to go. It's still down the mountain road. Fu Guogong took three steps and then two steps."
