A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 73 Changes in the situation
Duan Yunxin sighed softly: "Isn't this normal? If the master puts Zhenzhen in his heart, he wouldn't have divorced her so hastily."

"But if this is the case, what are the rules in the mansion?" Liu Xiangjun said displeasedly: "Those who made so many big mistakes first stayed in the mansion, and then they didn't even get punished, and they were favored by the Lord!"

"You've been in the mansion for a while." Duan Yunxin glanced at her: "Don't you still not understand that there are never any rules in this mansion, and it's the prime minister who has the final say."

"..." It seems that this is indeed the truth, but, if this is the case, if the master is partial to Gu, then this stone will not be able to be kicked away forever?
Liu Xiangjun was very worried. She chose to abandon Gu's family and seek refuge with this lady.But now that Mrs. Gu has turned over, she is even more favored, wouldn't it be a slap in the face for her?

Looking at her expression, she knew what she was thinking, Duan Yunxin smiled lightly, and said: "What are you in a hurry for? You can't go out when the wind is strong. This is the truth that everyone understands. Just wait."

Nodding slightly, Liu Xiangjun frowned, and supported her to continue walking.

The situation in the mansion was changing, and Shen Zaiye didn't know what to think. In the next half a month, he favored Gu, Qin, and Duan, but he never went to Zhengchun Pavilion once.

After Gu Huairou was favored, her complexion improved a lot, and her clothes and headgear became more luxurious.He just sat in front of Taohua with a worried look on his face.

"Did the lady offend the master somewhere?"

Taohua shrugged: "I don't know, I haven't done anything, and he suddenly doesn't want to talk to me anymore."

And they didn't even give her a chance to explain and ask, every time she went to Linwu Academy, she would be stopped outside.At first, Taohua felt wronged, but later she figured it out.He should be busy, but she can't help, and might ruin his affairs, so he is on guard against her.

But it's one thing to figure it out, and quite another to let it go.Originally, she thought that Shen Dushe was a person with a hard mouth and a soft heart, but now it seems that his heart is not soft at all.

He didn't want to see her, so she didn't need to keep tossing around, it's not bad to live a good life.

"That's not a solution either." Gu Huairou frowned: "How about I go and talk about it?"

"You just have to embrace your own favor, don't let me be unlucky." Taohua pursed her lips: "Now the house seems to be three-legged, do you still have the energy to worry about me?"

Gu Huairou was taken aback for a moment, very at a loss: "What are the three pillars?"

"Didn't you see it?" The corners of her mouth twitched, Taohua reached for the three small teacups on the table, put them together and said: "Qin Shi, Duan Shi, you, the three of you have now won the favor of the Prime Minister, Other people in the mansion also know the situation. For example, a few days ago, there was a servant who went to your yard to surrender, and someone chose the other two masters. The Meng family is gone, and the two-point situation in the mansion collapsed. If you have a seat and don't have a snack, you will definitely be squeezed out by the other two."

Gu Huairou was stunned, staring at the three teacups on the table, and murmured: "So those people who came to me earlier and said a lot of good things, did they want to follow me?"

"Otherwise, do you think they are in a hurry?" Taohua shook her head, "There are no real friends in this mansion. If you have similar interests, just stand aside. Conflicts of interests are enemies."

So, a few days ago, Taohua asked her to return gifts to someone, so it was considered an alliance with someone?Gu Huairou was speechless, she still didn't know anything, she was so focused on how to serve Xiangye, fortunately she was still there...

"Miss, do you think the attendants who came to see me are reliable?"

Taohua chuckled: "If it's unreliable, how could I ask you to return the gift? Go to the two servants in your yard, one is Wu, the daughter of the county magistrate of Quhu County, and the other is Feng, the concubine of the prefect of Changning County. Daughter, both of them are not from high backgrounds, but they are not bad, they just want to find a place to live, but they have no intention of stepping on your position."

Gu was dumbfounded: "How do you know?"

"They all have their life experiences on the roster, but don't you know how to look at them?" Taohua's eyes became strange: "When people visit you, what do you look at?"

"Looked at their clothes and gifts."

Peach Blossom: "..."

Both of them were silent, and reached a consensus in the silence - without Jiang Taohua, Gu Huairou would definitely not be able to get along in this mansion.

They discovered this problem relatively late, after all, the authorities were obsessed with it.Some people outside saw it early on.

"Rather than spending time on dealing with Gu, it's better to get rid of Jiang once and for all." Liu Xiangjun knelt in front of Qin Jieyu, and asked with a smile: "What do you think, lady?"

Qin Jieyu frowned, thought for a while and said, "Master has neglected her now, and we seem to have no other way to do anything to her."

"The solution always needs to be thought of by others." Liu Xiangjun said: "Our lady Jiang is very different from others. For example, she is a female family member, but she always meets Nanwang. You know, Nanwang used to be with Nanwang. Someone she was engaged to."

"Isn't that the master's acquiescence?" Qin Jieyu pursed his lips: "I also heard some rumors."

"Why did the Lord acquiesce to us? I don't know, but Mrs. Jiang, as a female family member of the Xiangfu, must have some taboos." Lowering her voice, Liu Xiangjun looked at Qin and said: "My lady is so smart, she must have a way."

After pondering for a moment, Qin Jieyu raised his head and glanced at her: "Your mouth is quite good at playing tricks."

"The lady is so rewarding, the concubine just wants to do something for the lady so that she can continue to survive in this mansion." Liu Xiangjun smiled, got up slowly and said: "The idea is given, how to do it specifically, the concubine also wants to do something. I can't point fingers in front of you, you'd better do it yourself."

Qin Jieyu smiled, watched the person in front of him salute and went out, and thought for a while with his eyes downcast.

It was the day when Nanwang was going to the mansion again, Shen Zaiye waited at the door with a calm face, and when he saw Mu Wuxia coming, he saluted: "My lord."

Mu Wuxia glanced at him curiously, and then walked inside: "There is a sentence that the king has wanted to ask the prime minister for a long time—is the prime minister sick recently?"

"No." Shen Zaye glanced at him: "Why would the prince ask such a question?"

Mu Wuxia said earnestly: "Your complexion looks too bad, and you don't seem to smile much recently. Even the emperor is asking today, whether there are too many things for you, and you are tired."

Shen Zaiye pursed his lips, ignored his question, and asked him instead: "When did the emperor ask? Are you there?"

"Didn't the decree be issued today for brother King Jing to supervise the country?" Mu Wuxia said: "All the princes are listening to the training in the imperial study, and the father just mentioned that."

With a slight movement in his mind, Shen Zaye looked at the person next to him: "Heard the news that King Jing is in charge of the country, what does the prince think?"

After a pause, King Nan glanced at him sideways: "What can you think? This king may not be worse than brother Jing, but my father has a prejudice against me, and the idea of ​​​​governing the country is different from mine. Let brother Jing supervise the country." ,is normal."

There was no one around, so Shen Zaiye invited him into the gazebo in the garden, sat down and looked at him and said: "If King Jing's supervision of the country is facilitated by a humble minister, will the prince rely more on the humble minister?"

His face darkened, Mu Wuxia frowned and said, "What are you planning?"

"After all, it won't be a plan to harm you." Shen Zaiye slightly curled his lips: "But the prince has been unwilling to cooperate with this minister, and this minister is also a little distressed."

"Prime Minister." Mu Wuxia looked at him, and asked seriously: "Do you think that if a person has to rely on others to help him to the point where he doesn't have to do anything, if that person ascends to the throne of God one day, will his seat be stable?"

"You don't need to do nothing." Shen Zaiye pursed his lips: "Just study the emperor's way of governing the country."

A little anger appeared on his face, Mu Wuxia got up and flicked his sleeves, and looked at him with eyes like arrows: "The prime minister treats Wuxia as a tool, a puppet, and never considers Wuxia's true feelings. It's true that you want me to rely on you like this. Idiots talking about dreams!"

The atmosphere became stiff instantly, Shen Zaiya's face darkened, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.According to his arrangement, King Nan will be able to ascend to the East Palace within two years.But now if he doesn't cooperate, he will have to take a lot of detours. Why doesn't he understand?

"Did Jiang get injured last spring hunting?" Mu Wuxia turned her head and said, "I want to see her."

Speaking of peach blossoms, Shen Zaiye's mood was even worse, and he said in a muffled voice: "It's been so long, the wound has healed long ago, what else is there to see? She is a concubine after all, it's better for the prince to be rare."

"This king just treats her as a sister." Mu Wuxia said, "Can't we even meet each other?"

elder sister?Shen Zaiye sneered, his sister was not as scheming as Jiang Taohua.

A stalemate started on this side, and Taohua had just dressed up in Zhengchun Pavilion on the other side.

Nan Wang is here, and it stands to reason that even if Shen Zaiye doesn't want to see her, the little prince will want to see her, so he still dresses up and gives the little prince a pillow that has just been embroidered.

"Ms. Jiang." After a while, someone from outside came to send a message: "Master Xiang, please send some snacks to the garden."

"Okay." Taohua nodded, let Qingmoss hold the snack, hugged a pillow by herself, and happily went to the imperial garden.

What Shen Zaiye wanted to stop, even Nan Wang couldn't handle it.Mu Wuxia was so angry that she wanted to leave, but she heard someone shouting at the gate of the garden: "My lord!"

As soon as his eyes lit up, he looked up, and saw Jiang standing at the door with something in his arms, smiling at him.

Shen Zaiye's face turned black, he stood up and looked at Jiang Taohua who was walking over, his eyes were sharp.

In fact, he hasn't seen her for more than half a month. At first glance, she seems to be thinner and her body is thinner. I don't know if she hasn't eaten well.

But now is not the time to think about these things, he didn't summon her, how dare she come to see Nan Wang without authorization?

"My concubine, Lord Nan, please greet me!" With a bright smile on his face, Taohua held the pillow and handed it to Nan Wang: "This is a thank you gift for the prince. I sewed it with my own hands. Don't dislike me, prince."
