Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 529

"Oh?" Zhao Xiwei was a little curious.

Suyu said slowly: "Hard mouth means that he speaks very straightforwardly and never tactfully; tough hand means that he is very good at doing things. If he has money that cannot be allocated, even His Highness can only give up; and this His bones are tough, which means that he is too stubborn in life, once he angered His Royal Highness, and wanted to kill his head, but he didn't even bat an eye."

In just a few words, he has already outlined a strong and firm courtier.

"Princess Concubine..." Suyu sighed lowly, and persuaded: "Such a person who doesn't want to get in, you'd better not argue with him... If he backs down, it's okay, if he refuses to back down, isn't it? Want to charge you with extravagance and waste?"

He hesitated again, and said after deliberation: "You are now banned from the other garden, and you don't know when you can move back... If you are unhappy with His Highness at this juncture, you—"

Kneading the fingers on the shoulders, there was a pause, and she was a little worried: "I dare to say, you are the princess, how can you not see His Highness the Crown Prince? Although His Highness is not as erotic as other men, it is hard to guarantee There will be no one who has any intentions, deliberately trying to force people into the Eastern Palace..."

Zhao Xi was slightly taken aback, raised his eyes and took a deep look at Suyu: "You mean?"

"Hmm..." Suyu nodded slightly and said, "You forgot that He Kui has a daughter..."

Zhao Xi frowned slightly, but didn't answer the words.

He Kui's daughter is He Manzhi.

As early as when she was still acquainted with Li Xuanye, she had heard discussions from the noble ladies in Beijing that He Kui was just such a daughter, and they were bent on paving the way for her to send her to the East Palace.

With He Kuizhi's degree of trust, this is not a difficult task.

Su Yuyu's earnest words sounded in my ears again: "Crown Princess, you haven't conceived an heir yet, and you are surrounded by powerful enemies, so you can't relax for a moment..."

"..."

What Su Yu said was not unreasonable.

Zhao Xiwei still has a clear understanding of his situation.

Although she didn't think about what means to use to fight for favor, she knew better than anyone that she didn't have much qualifications to be willful.

Now she has fallen out of favor and is confined to a remote courtyard.

Isn't it the best opportunity to present a beauty to His Highness the Crown Prince at this juncture?

But, because of this possibility, is she going to bear the humiliation as hard as she can?

Zhao Xi smiled slightly, but did not speak.

It's not that she can't do it, but she doesn't think it's necessary.

It is a very unwise and passive move to tie the honor and favor of a lifetime to a man.

Suyu was impatient when she saw it: "Princess Concubine, this servant is for your own good—"

Zhao Xiwei held her wrist and said softly: "I know you are doing it for my own good, and I haven't forgotten my situation. But I know..."

She pursed her lips and smiled, speaking slowly, with a natural indifference: "The most indispensable thing in this palace is women. If I do well today, someone will be better than me tomorrow. Today I dress up well." Beauty, tomorrow there will be someone who is more beautiful than me, if I use tricks today, tomorrow there will be someone with more tricks..."

"Day after day, the only purpose of my life is to revolve around him, to keep his heart, to fight openly and secretly with all women, to win his favor, to become an unscrupulous woman..."

Her eyes were calm, she looked at the subordinate who was half her age in front of her, and said, "But can we win in this way?"

Shaking her head, she smiled lightly: "Favorite is in a man's hands. He can give it to you if he wants to, and take it back if he doesn't want to. You can calculate all your schemes or endure humiliation, the final result is no longer in your control." In the middle—if this is the case, what is there to seek?"

Suyu was speechless: "Prince Princess..."

"Don't worry." Zhao Xiwei smiled again, but instead of the previous indifference and coldness, some were just confident and calm, "No matter how His Highness treats me, I will take care of myself and not let myself fall into a desperate situation."

"It's just...you can't even see the prince's face now..." Suyu was still worried, "Why don't I help you think of a way to let you meet His Highness?"

"..." Zhao Xi smiled, "How do you want me to see him?"

Suyu thought about it for a while, and finally made a plan: "Why don't you cook a pot of fragrant tea and send it to the study room? Your Highness will definitely think of you after drinking your tea... ..."

"Puff!" Zhao Xiwei couldn't help laughing out loud.

Suyu didn't know, so she asked, "Crown Princess?"

Zhao Xi finished smiling, then shook his head, and said frankly: "You don't have to worry about this for me, I know it well."

No one can master another's feelings.

No one can completely grasp another's sincerity.

And the real wise man never masters others, only masters himself.

At this time, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, and a court lady preached: "Crown Princess, Lord Deng is here!"

As soon as Deng Jin stepped into the door, Zhao Xiwei froze for a moment.

Unexpectedly, this so-called hard-boned person is so young...

He was only 27 or [-] years old, dressed in a crimson official uniform, with his back straight when saluting, his chin drooping slightly, and his face was full of fear of power.

Zhao Xiwei is really not sure about such a person.

If it's really someone who is following the trend, pushing the high and stepping down, it's better to suppress it.

I'm afraid of this kind of real toughness.

"Your official Deng Jin, I have seen the Crown Princess."

Zhao Xiwei accepted his gift and motioned Suyu to watch tea.

Deng Jin cupped his hands and saluted again: "Thank you, Crown Princess."

He brought the tea, but before he drank it, he opened his mouth first: "The Crown Princess summoned the officials to come, but for the money to raise the cat?"

Zhao Xi glanced at him slightly, but before he could speak, he put on a stern face again, and said solemnly: "The lower official is originally a commoner, and only because he was appreciated by His Royal Highness, he was able to enter and leave the Eastern Palace and take care of money and accounts for His Highness. Regarding the transfer of the silver, please ask the Crown Princess to discuss it with His Highness."

Zhao Xiwei didn't expect this person to be so strong, and he was choked on the first strike when he came up.

Deng Jin didn't wait for her to respond, and continued: "Even if His Highness agrees, I still have a few words to persuade the Crown Princess. You like keeping cats, that's your own business, you can pay for it yourself, and It’s not that the treasury will allocate additional money. You know that the war ahead is tense, and every time you reach out, you are asking for money and food. Discuss countermeasures, and as a princess, how can you waste people's fat and people's anointing for a mere beast!"

"..."

Zhao Xiwei was stunned again.

Didn't she just raise two cats, how did she become a waste of people's fat and people's anointing?

This person will really occupy the moral high ground!
