Chapter 145 Xiao Changfeng
Chapter 145 Xiao Changfeng
King An was in a state like a rooster with fried feathers. Hearing that the other party had a knife, he was thinking of ways to smooth down his feathers.
Concubine Cui smiled and said: "Have you forgotten, the prince, that the army that Changfeng is in now is the same one that was under his command back then... Although it has been reorganized, how could the eldest princess not pay attention..."
What she said was cryptic, but King An already understood it.
After the powerful prince-in-law was killed by the Queen Mother's plan, his subordinates were also divided, and the border where Xiao Changfeng was located was the core of that team.
Even though so many years have passed, they are still at the border with no chance to come back. This is why the court is afraid of them.
If it weren't for the eldest princess, they would probably have been charged and executed together.
"Yes, I actually forgot."
He had no objection to Xiao Changfeng joining the army, but he, as a father, was always a little uncomfortable with it.
He knew that what happened back then was a knot between the eldest princess and all of them.
The death of the consort was the reason why she had been unwilling to forgive the Queen Mother for many years.
He used her marriage as a bargaining chip and used her to kill his consort. From the beginning to the end, he didn't give her any right to choose.
"In that case, you should have told me earlier..." King An complained.
At this time, Xiao Jinyao next to him reminded: "Why do you need Concubine Cui to remind you? Even we only know about this matter, and my aunt never informs us about what she wants to do."
King An knew that he was in the wrong, so he thought that since he was here, he should treat it as if he was really here to congratulate Concubine Cui.
"Since there is a happy event today, I will go with you to Cui's house."
Concubine Cui shook her head: "Your Majesty, it is better to keep a low profile at this time, and my brother has gone to the palace and will probably not come back until noon. He will probably be dissatisfied with some people if he becomes Minister of the Ministry of War. If your Majesty is interested, please help me." It’s better to reconcile.”
As Wang An was being held there, he thought of Wang He and Tian Dekun. One of them was an unassigned minister, and the other was a minister who had not succeeded in becoming a minister. How could they suddenly appear and snatch the meat they were about to get? Cui Shi must not have a good impression, and he may be tripped up in the future.
"Ah, that's fine, that's fine..." King An was clearly arranged, and he couldn't vent his anger, but instead burned himself to death.
Xiao Jinyao and Shu Yunzhao saw his dumbfounding look and felt that Concubine Cui had been able to survive Tian Concubine's calculations all these years. This ability was indeed admirable.
Not long after, Concubine Tian, who was supposed to be depressed, came unexpectedly, bringing rich gifts and her dignified smile. People who didn't know would really think that she was sincerely trying to make Concubine Cui happy.
"Sister, I'm here to congratulate you. We knew about such a happy event in a hurry. When the prince heard about it, he hurried back and told me to prepare gifts quickly. In a hurry, I don't know if these things are what you like. "
Shu Yunzhao glanced at Xiao Jinyao. She wanted to say that Concubine Tian was indeed of a high rank.
From the fact that King An didn't go back for a long time, we knew that he was convinced.
She prepared things, came here with sincerity, and gave the credit to King An. Not only did she show her generosity, but she also helped King An get out of the siege, completely regaining her face, and spreading the word could also help her win a favor. The reputation of being virtuous and not jealous.
In such a short period of time, she could find such a perfect entry point in the attack. This Tian Bianfei is really a good material to be a princess.
"Thank you, sister...and thank you, Your Majesty..." Concubine Cui accepted happily without any nonsense.
Since Concubine Tian wants to show off, she will cooperate. Anyway, the benefits have already fallen to the Cui family, so what can they do if this vain face is given to them.
King An was really pleased. In fact, for him, it was the same for Cui Shi to become the Minister of War. After all, he was the brother of his concubine. If the east was bright and the west was bright, it would be better than having to go through the Su family. The Wang family is much better.
He was also led by Su Yunxiu's words at that time, thinking that Concubine Cui had known about it for a long time and deliberately watched him working there and still laughed at his jokes.
Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, of course he will be fine.
As for Concubine Tian's loss of face, he had already thought about it. Anyway, she still had the position of concubine waiting for her.
He even felt that now that the Cui family had obtained the position of minister, and the position of concubine was given to Tian Rong, the two female relatives in his house could be considered a balance...
Seeing their atmosphere, Shu Yunzhao felt that there was nothing good to watch.
"Father, it's time for my husband to go back and take medicine. We won't be here to celebrate. You guys can talk slowly..."
This incident made Concubine Tian's heart skip a beat. It was already obvious who she was talking about.
Although they were so rude in the Su family, King An had nothing to say and could only wave his hand and let them go.
Out of sight out of mind.
"I have to say that Concubine Tian is the real master. She can endure all this and come back to it, as if she is really in love with Yourong. Over the years, my father has been manipulated by her. Even the Queen Mother is so satisfied with her as a side concubine and can’t wait to help her win the position of the main concubine. She is indeed really capable.”
On the way back, Shu Yunzhao said.
Xiao Jinyao nodded and said: "Even an ordinary person like Xiao Luofan can get opportunities again and again, but his third brother, who is better than him in every aspect, has to go far away to survive. This shows her methods."
Shu Yunzhao thought for a while and then said: "But the third brother actually went to that place and was still with the subordinates of the first prince-in-law. Wouldn't this make the court jealous?"
"Do the people in the palace really not know what the truth is about what happened back then? Since they are all sensible people, they should know what the general's position was back then. His subordinates have been divided into seventy-eight. After all, so many years have passed, and a generation has already changed, so what kind of disturbance can it cause?"
Xiao Jinyao's explanation is completely acceptable to Shu Yunzhao.
"So from the very beginning, my aunt knew when the third brother went to that place?" Shu Yunzhao asked again.
"He begged his aunt to send him there, so no one in the palace, nor even my father, dared to say anything."
Shu Yunzhao asked: "Didn't you say that no one knows his specific location?"
"Well, the team he belongs to is responsible for roaming investigation. They often have to chase for days and nights in the dangerous environment of the border just for the slightest suspicion."
Xiao Jinyao's words gave Shu Yunzhao a little more respect for this third brother whom he had never met.
"You are also a young master of the palace. The Queen Mother doesn't like you because you have the blood of Northern Jin people. I can understand this for a moment, but she doesn't like Changfeng either. She only prefers Xiao Luofan who has accomplished nothing. I really accept it. No."
Xiao Jinyao gave her a vivid example: "Then do you think my father has any real ability? Doesn't the emperor's grandmother prefer him to the emperor? As long as he talks sweetly, he will be more incompetent when he meets an unreasonable old man. The more favored you are."
