You can enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree!
Xie Mingxi never minds taking advantage of the situation.
It was certainly not an easy matter to persuade Queen Mother Yu. Xie Mingxi decisively lost her face and raised the banner of master... Queen Mother Yu and Gu Shanchang were still separated, but their deep friendship for many years was still there. They did not make things difficult for them.
Agree with the approval.
That’s why today’s episode came about.
It will not be easy for Zhao Changqing and Yin Xiaoxiao to take advantage of the situation and obtain Empress Dowager Yu's approval.
Emperor Jian'an did not want to let his brothers join the vassal, and Empress Dowager Yu also felt that it was a good thing for the vassal king to stay in Beijing.
Not to mention anything else, several talented, capable and powerful vassal kings were circling in front of him, which inadvertently added pressure and worries to Emperor Jian'an. It would not be difficult for Empress Dowager Yu to choose one of them to compete with Emperor Jian'an.
Simply put, the murky the water, the better.
If it weren't for the face of Chief Gu Shan, Queen Mother Yu would not have said this to Emperor Jian'an.
All the vassal princesses have their own thoughts and calculations in their minds, so there is no need to elaborate.
After paying their respects, everyone left the palace and returned home one by one.
"Seventh younger brother and sister, please wait a moment. I will go back home with you." A familiar voice sounded from behind.
Xie Mingxi slowed down slightly and turned to look at Yin Xiaoxiao: "That's fine."
…
Yin Xiaoxiao couldn't say much in the palace until she got out of the palace and got on the carriage, then she poured out all her words: "You are too unjust. You won't be able to talk to us about what happened today. Otherwise,
, we opened our mouths together, and the Queen Mother said no and agreed together."
Xie Mingxi glanced at Yin Xiaoxiao and said calmly: "If we open our mouths together, the queen mother will not pay attention at all. None of us can leave."
Yin Xiaoxiao was still a little sullen: "Now, it's just you who are gone. We're not just watching helplessly."
Xie Mingxi said: "It's good to leave first. After all, it has set a precedent. It will not be difficult to leave Beijing later."
There is some truth to this.
Furthermore, this kind of thing depends on everyone's ability. Xie Mingxi can persuade Queen Mother Yu to nod, what qualifications does she have to complain about Xie Mingxi who left the muddy mud swamp earlier?
After all, Yin Xiaoxiao is a cheerful and open-minded person. She quickly figured it out and laughed at herself: "I got into trouble for a moment. I didn't think about it and actually complained about you. Don't take it to heart."
Xie Mingxi obviously didn't mind, and smiled casually: "We have nothing to say between you and me. If you don't want to complain to me, you are out of touch."
Just like Zhao Changqing, he is always far away from them. No matter how dissatisfied he is, he will not complain that she took the first step.
Yin Xiaoxiao nodded, then sighed again and lowered his voice: "Sister Xie, I always feel a little uneasy. I always feel that something bad is going to happen."
It's a shame that I can't escape even if I want to, so I have to continue to be caught between the Queen Mother and the Emperor to survive.
Xie Mingxi took a deep look at Yin Xiaoxiao: "Everyone has instincts. Sometimes, you might as well follow your instincts."
Yin Xiaoxiao nodded again, and then said in a whimsical way: "Why don't I persuade His Royal Highness the King of Fujian to sneak out of the capital with me, and wait until we get to the vassal territory before ordering someone to return to the capital to deliver the message. By then, even if the emperor doesn't agree, it won't work."
Xie Mingxi: "..."
Xie Mingxi resisted the urge to roll her eyes: "You should give up this idea as soon as possible. Do you think it's just a joke?"
"The appointment of a vassal to a vassal is by no means a trivial matter. It must be proposed by the cabinet, the vassal king submits a memorial, and then the emperor personally issues the decree! Going to the vassal territory privately is tantamount to the crime of treason."
"Don't cause any trouble!"
Yin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips: "I just said it casually, I don't dare to act so recklessly. That's all, we just have to endure it for another two years."
…
Yin Xiaoxiao returned to the Prince of Fujian's Mansion with a gloomy expression.
Xie Mingxi was in a very good mood today. After returning to the Prince of Shu's palace, she fed A'luo well before telling Chief Gu the whole story of entering the palace.
Gu Shanchang's eyes were a little complicated, and he sighed after a while: "That's all, before I leave the capital, I will go to the palace to thank the Queen Mother again."
Having known each other for most of their lives, the friendship between her and Empress Dowager Yu was better than blood relatives. How could it be possible to completely separate them?
Xie Mingxi was a little apologetic: "I'm sorry, Master. In order to leave Beijing as soon as possible, I have to use Master as an excuse. Only in this way can I get the Queen Mother's nod to intercede."
Gu Shanchang said nonchalantly: "I am your master, and I should protect you from the wind and rain."
Then he smiled and joked: "If you feel guilty, just be filial to me from now on."
Xie Mingxi also pursed her lips and smiled.
That night, Sheng Hong was summoned by the emperor to the Yiqing Palace, but he still did not return.
Gu Shanchang was a little worried and whispered in Xie Mingxi's ear: "Why did the emperor summon the King of Shu alone to move the Qing Palace and didn't let him back for so long? Could it be that he deliberately made things difficult for the King of Shu because of what happened during the day?
!”
Considering Emperor Jian'an's small nose and small eyes, this is quite possible.
Xie Mingxi snorted coldly in her heart, but said with a smile on her face: "Master, this is too much worry. The emperor has already promised his mother, so he can't go back on his word. If he can't change things, it won't do any good to make things difficult for the King of Shu again."
"How could the emperor do such a stupid thing?"
…
Emperor Jian'an did not live up to Xie Mingxi's "expectations" at all, and he did such stupid things.
Emperor Jian'an first summoned Sheng Hong to the Yiqing Hall, and deliberately waited for more than an hour. Then he summoned Sheng Hong into the hall, and said apologetically: "I was busy reviewing the memorials, and for a moment I forgot that you were still waiting in the side hall. Arrive.
You haven’t eaten yet! I will order someone to go to the imperial kitchen to bring you some food."
Sheng Hong immediately smiled and said, "That's not necessary."
"Before I entered the palace, I expected that I would have to stay up late today. I bought two hot beef biscuits on the street outside the official office of the Ministry of Industry and ate them. While I was waiting in the side hall, I had no time to spare.
Then I drank half a pot of tea and ate a plate of snacks and fruits."
"Brother Chen is still feeling panicked."
Emperor Jian'an: "..."
It's interesting to see Sheng Hong being shameless towards others.
When it's my turn, the feeling...don't even mention it.
Emperor Jian'an resisted the urge to gnash his teeth and showed a friendly and kind smile: "It's good that I'm not hungry." Then, he sighed: "Old Qi, you really hurt my heart!"
"You and I are the closest brothers, and we always talk about everything. You are determined to seize the vassal, why don't you make it clear to me? Are you in front of your mother?"
"When my mother opened her mouth, it seemed that my brother was being unkind."
"Actually, I don't mean to hold you hostage. I just want to be closer to you and hope that you can help me manage the Ministry of Engineering, so I keep you in the capital."
Sheng Hong sneered in his heart, with an extremely touched look on his face: "I just found out today that the emperor is so close to me. I am really ashamed of my brother's heart for being a villain."
