After rebirth, I made the princes cry

The maidservant who was forcefully placed by the emperor beside Wang Qing'e was named Xiyuan. Wang Qing'e naturally was not bold enough to change the emperor's person's name according to her own will, and of course she did not dare to really treat Xiyuan as a maid. She did not know that the emperor had already instructed Xiyuan to keep Yingsong safe.

Yingsong was punished to kneel, and Xiyuan saw it.

That night, Xiyuan and Yingsong had a conversation. When he learned that Yingsong was punished for such a small matter, his eyebrows stood up: "Even His Majesty would not be so harsh on a palace maid. In order to keep things quiet, you were unwilling to tell the truth and had to take the blame yourself. But what kind of fault is this? Wang Shaojun should understand that she is now living under someone else's roof. How can she feel like she is at home? You are not like those of us who practice martial arts. It doesn't matter if you kneel for a few hours. Today you have been tortured!"

Yingsong forced a smile and comforted Xiyuan instead.

What kind of torture is this? In her previous life, she was sent to the manor by Lady Yao. If she was not beaten and tortured every day, she almost thought she would not live long. Thanks to Wu Niang who saved her from the sea of ​​suffering, she was able to live like a human being.

Yingsong didn't know that her disaster was just beginning.

Wang Qing'e didn't get to eat the dish she wanted the day before, and she was still thinking about it the next day. This time Yingsong learned his lesson and endured Keshi's cold eyes. He opened the food box in front of her and checked. There was still no "stewed raw croaker". Keshi sneered: "The maid didn't tell Wang Shaojun that he had such instructions."

Yingsongqing knew that this time it was not just a simple punishment of kneeling.

She had no choice but to tell the truth.

Wang Qing'e was furious: "I told you many times to take care of the servants in my uncle's house, and you can't even do such a small thing? Yes, it's obvious that the guest lady is deliberately making things difficult for you, and you even said you don't know why. You don't even know when and why you offended her!!!"

Wang Qing'e personally punished Yingsong and whipped her calves until they were swollen. She also warned that if she failed to please Keshi, she would be punished more severely.

Xi Yuan was also furious: "His Majesty has ordered that you, Yingsong, must be kept safe. Wang Shaojun is unreasonable, I can't just sit there and watch, I will go and warn her..."

"You must not do this, maid." Yingsong endured the pain and pulled Xiyuan to his side. "If a maid comes forward to protect me, I can be safe, but I will never be able to gain the mistress's trust. Wu Niang even asked for your majesty's protection to protect me. I cannot let Wu Niang down."

Yingsong was determined to find a way to resolve the crisis herself. The next day, she could only beg Keshi. Who knew that Keshi would still turn her face and ignore her in front of many servants in the kitchen: "The maid is too rude! It was obviously my own fault, but she acted like this. In the eyes of others, wouldn't it be that I deliberately made things difficult for the maid and deliberately neglected Wang Shaojun?! I really don't understand how I offended the maid and caused her to slander and vilify me... The maid, please be kind, we are all servants, no one should be blamed by the master, the maid, please let me go."

Yingsong was at a loss as to what to do, feeling extremely anxious. At this moment, he heard a man's voice: "What's going on?"

Yingsong looked back and recognized it was Manager Yan.

Of course, Ke Shi would know Yan Kang and she rushed to tell him about Yingsong's misdeeds. Yingsong could only lower his head and dared not say a word in defense.

Wang Qing'e was not completely without self-awareness. She did not dare to offend the servants of the He family and issue orders to them in a domineering manner. Yingsong certainly did not dare to "prove" that Keshi was the one at fault. She had already prepared herself to accept Wang Qing'e's more severe punishment after returning empty-handed. Fortunately, Wang Qing'e did not trust the other maids, and she was still of some use, so she would not be beaten to death. She just had to swallow her anger and endure this ordeal.

"It's just a small matter, is it worth being so persistent?" Yan Kang frowned tightly, but stared at Ke Shi: "No matter whose fault it is, you can't neglect Wang Shaojun. It's just a dish, right? If you don't prepare lunch, can't you prepare dinner well? If Ke Shi still insists that it is someone else's fault and deliberately framed you, then it's easy to deal with. I will report it to the lady and transfer someone else to replace you."

Ke Shi was speechless.

Yingsong let out a long sigh and of course wanted to thank Yan Kang.

She knew that Manager Yan was not He Xiao's servant, but a subordinate and a good person, who was highly valued by He Xiao.

"You don't have to thank me, maid." Yan Kang treated Yingsong with a pleasant face. "I got into this dispute today because the master was planning to host a banquet for several colleagues. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that Keshi, a servant who has been doing old work, would be so arrogant. The master regards Liulang and Jiulang as his own nephews, so he will definitely not indulge a mean servant to neglect Liu Shaojun and Wang Shaojun. But, do you know why Keshi would make things difficult for me?"

Yingsong was of course very confused.

"My lady never took care of the affairs here before. The internal affairs here have actually always been managed by my niece." Yan Kang just reminded her.

Yingsong understood a little bit in his heart, but naturally he would not discuss the dispute between wives and concubines in He Xiao's family.

"So what I suffered was an unprovoked disaster. I happened to be there today, so I shouldn't sit idly by. Although the master often lives in Qixuan Street, it's not because he dislikes his mistress. The maids are not without self-awareness, but these maids will inevitably have some stupid ideas. However, I didn't expect them to be so blatant. The maid doesn't need to worry. If you encounter such a thing again in the future, just tell me and I will deal with it. However, this time I warned Ke Shi, which should have played a deterrent role. In front of Wang Shaojun, I hope the maid can help him turn things around and don't let Wang Shaojun have any resentment in his heart."

Yan Kang was still leisurely and bowed to Yingsong.

Wang Qing'e ate the "stewed raw pound" that she had been craving for, and didn't ask about this matter at all.

But on this day, Sha took the initiative to visit Liu, with a smile on her face: "Last time I listened to your advice and acted as a matchmaker. Yan Kang really wanted to marry the daughter of the Cao family, and Cao Wuyong really looked down on Yan Shen's boy, so he agreed to the marriage without saying anything. I was the matchmaker, and Yan Shen didn't dare to say anything... But after Yan listened to her, he really said some ulterior motives in front of the A family, trying to instigate the A family to stop the marriage. But this time your uncle didn't listen to Yan's instigation, and said that I acted well as a matchmaker this time."

"If Yan Ming was still alive, the Grand Master would not have taken Cao Wuyong seriously, but Yan Ming is dead. Although Yan Shen is still a subordinate of the Grand Master, he is not as experienced as Cao Wuyong. Cao Wuyong's daughter, although she was also born out of wedlock, was no longer under the control of her mother when she was born. Cao Wuyong regarded her as the apple of his eye and gave in to her in everything.

Although Yan Shen's eldest son is a generation younger than Yan Kang, he is more than ten years older than the daughter of the Cao family and is also a widower. Yan Shen wants to marry Cao Wuyong in order to win the attention of the chief clan leader. However, in the eyes of the daughter of the Cao family, marrying Yan Qi is a second marriage, and there are parents-in-law to serve. Although Yan Kang is a bastard, he is handsome and suave, and has long been interested in her. Now that her uncle is valued by the chief clan leader, it is no longer the same as before. As a subordinate of her uncle, is Yan Kang afraid that he will not have a chance to make a name for himself? "

Sha smiled from ear to ear: "We have already taken Yan Kang in. No matter how Yan tries to please Ah Jia, your uncle will not listen to her. I don't need to worry about Yan either. But why did you let Ke Shi deliberately make things difficult for Yingsong and asked me to ask Yan Kang to pretend to see injustice and help him?"

"Aunt, Xiyuan who was beside my wife was originally an eye and ear planted by your majesty, and he has been monitoring my wife the whole time."

"Is there such a thing?"

"As it concerns the palace secrets, my wife dared not reveal too much, and only told me this. I thought that if Wang Yingshu could not come back from this mission, it would be fine. But if she was lucky enough to come back, considering the trust Your Majesty has in her, she has already been given the title of Shangshulang, and who knows how much more she will be rewarded in the future.

Difu is a thorn in Wang Yingshu's side, so I must think more about Difu. Since His Majesty has placed someone next to Difu, I think we should also place an eye and ear next to Wang Yingshu, and Yingsong is the right person."

"Yingsong is Qing'e's maid, how could Wang Yingshu trust her?"

"Yingsong is the maidservant that came with Difu as a dowry. Although her marriage contract is in Difu's hands, her parents and family are still in Wang's family in Linyi. Duke Linyi has now stopped Difu from entering the house. Difu cannot even see her biological parents if she wants to. It is obvious that Duke Linyi does not regard Difu as his granddaughter, but only regards Wang Yingshu as a rare treasure.

I watched coldly. Yingsong is indeed an honest man who values ​​friendship and loyalty, but the character of the concubine...she doesn't know how to win over servants. It is precisely because of the concubine's shortcomings that Wang Yingshu felt that there was an opportunity. This time I also took Xiyuan into account. This time Yingsong suffered, Xiyuan saw it, and he would definitely report it to His Majesty. If His Majesty knows about it, Wang Yingshu should also know about it.

If Wang Yingshu survives to come back, I will tell Difu again and let her find fault and simply send Yingsong back to the official position. However, I will ask my uncle to arrange for Yan Kang to be sent abroad first. Without Yan Kang as her support, Yingsong will have nowhere to turn to for help. Even if Wang Yingshu helps her, I will keep her for my own use so as to find out something against Difu.

Although Yingsong hates Difu, he has to be affectionate to Yan Kang and not listen to Difu's orders. He has to listen to Yan Kang's instigation. Then Yingsong will be of great use."

Now in Sha's eyes, Liu has become an extremely smart person surrounded by a halo. All of Liu's plans are brilliant plans, and all of Liu's strategies are the best strategies. She should listen to him and follow his advice.

Liu smiled like a bodhisattva.

She didn't care which prince could seize the throne, she only wanted to kill these two people. She really believed that Yingsong was a man who valued friendship and loyalty. Wang Yingshu had only given Yingsong small favors in the beginning, but Yingsong was willing to risk his life to protect the bastard born by Wang Yingshu!!!

This time, she took the initiative to give favor to Yingsong.

And he used Yan Kang.

Although Yan Kang is from a poor family, his appearance is not inferior to that of aristocratic families. A poor family is still noble in front of this servant. Yan Kang treats him warmly, how can a servant not be moved? Liu never thought of personally coming forward to win over Yingsong, because her target is not just Wang Yingshu!!!

The entire Wang family of Linyi must pay the price.

The moment the delegation set out from Yongchang Ferry, Jiang Mo, the King of Zhenyuan of the Northern Han Dynasty, was destined to never return to Taipingguan.

His Majesty the Emperor wants to host a banquet for him and temporarily let Jiang Mo live in Jingyan Palace within the palace city.

Of course, it is impossible that Jiang Mo is the only leader of the Northern Han delegation. The deputy envoy has already returned with the Dayu delegation, leaving behind only Jiang Mo as a hostage. But after all, Jiang Mo's personal guards, a total of sixty people, should be left behind. Although the sixty Northern Han guards are unlikely to cause trouble in the palace of Dayu, if His Majesty the Emperor keeps Jiang Mo in the palace, it would be tantamount to advertising to everyone that Jiang Mo is actually a hostage.

The establishment of diplomatic relations with the concept of hostages is somewhat ridiculous.

Compared with the Yi tribe, Dayu is a country of etiquette, so it cannot be criticized by the Yi tribe for its mistakes in etiquette.

But leaving Jiang Mo in Taiping Pavilion like this is indeed worrying. Are Jiang Mo's personal guards all trustworthy people? Are there assassins hidden among them? This has made the monarch and his ministers of Dayu nervous and they cannot completely rule out the risk, not to mention they have to guard against spies from Northern Zhao and other countries taking the opportunity to cause chaos. In addition to these "external factors", officials such as Lu Yuan and Cui Yan are worried that He Ao will do bad things and put the blame on the prince, Zheng Bei and his gang are worried that the prince and the second prince will do bad things and make the third prince never return, and He Ao and his gang are also worried that the prince's party will take the opportunity to make a desperate attempt to survive.

In short, whether it was the emperor or the court officials, their opinions this time were unprecedentedly unanimous. They believed that it would be best to place Jiang Mo in Taicheng. In comparison, Taicheng was much safer than Taipingguan, and they could also legitimately leave Jiang Mo's personal guards in Taipingguan - the prince of Dayu cordially invited Prince Zhenyuan to temporarily stay in the prince's mansion, which would naturally guarantee Prince Zhenyuan's safety. Prince Zhenyuan would only choose a few trusted confidants from among the princes to serve him, thus eliminating the risk of being assassinated by "his own people".

But which prince's palace does he live in?

The third prince was on a diplomatic mission, and Zheng Bei couldn't possibly make the invitation on his behalf, so he withdrew from the competition out of reluctance.

It was even less likely that Qiao Zizhan would stand up for Nan Ci.

Sikong Yuehu was wholeheartedly focused on promoting the surprise attack plan and had no intention of joining the competition. To realize this top-secret plan, putting the Northern Han people into Xinsu Mansion would be asking for trouble, and Sikong Yuehu would not compete with the prince.

Therefore, only the Prince's Party and the Second Prince's Party were at a stalemate.

The Crown Prince actually did not want to shoulder such a heavy burden, but Lu Yuan and Cui Yan, as his right-hand men, agreed that Ziwei Palace was the safest place. If he behaved too negatively, wouldn't it show that he had ill intentions? He was hoping that something would happen to Jiang Mo, so that the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries would come to nothing. Not only would the Second Prince's busy work come to nothing, but he would also be very likely to get himself into trouble.

Even if you are a prince, you have to pretend to fight for it.

The second prince was even more confident. He sincerely hoped that the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries could be achieved smoothly this time. Even if the King of Northern Han went back on his word and detained the delegation of Lord Shenyuan Palace, he would strongly advise his king to calm down and put forward other conditions, whether it was to get all the taxes and profits of Beidu Market, or to let Northern Han pay tribute, or even to ask Northern Han to cede Wudu to Dayu for management. As long as Northern Han made a slight concession, the King of Zhenyuan could be sent back unharmed. Compared with actual interests, it didn't matter whether Xuan's daughter and Wang Yingshu could return to Dayu. As for Sikong Mujiao and Sikong Nanci, failing to complete their mission was a serious crime, and it was reasonable for them to die in Northern Han.

The Crown Prince and the Second Prince were fighting fiercely. Under such circumstances, only His Majesty the Emperor could make the decision.

Of course the emperor had to discuss this with his son Sikong Yuehu in private.
