After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle
Chapter 144 You Took My Place
After Cui Ying left, Han Nian pulled Fu Guiyun to complain, "Sister-in-law, look at how proud she is. She doesn't even take you and my brother seriously before she even enters the palace."
Before Fu Guiyun could speak, Lu Linchu's eyes suddenly darkened: "Niannian, is it so difficult to just say sorry to them? Why do you have to make so many fuss?"
It was the first time that Han Nian saw her brother lose his temper with her. She suddenly felt a little scared. She leaned against Fu Guiyun's arms and said aggrievedly, "I...I wanted to apologize to her."
After saying that, she threw herself into Fu Guiyun's arms and cried bitterly: "Sister-in-law, look at my brother, he is biased towards Miss Cui. He clearly doesn't treat me as his sister."
Fu Guiyun did not indulge her this time: "Niannian, you did not do well today. Although Ying'er will not argue with you, you should know this in your heart. From tomorrow on, you will stay in your Tanhua Courtyard and reflect on your mistakes. Without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of the courtyard."
"Sister-in-law, even you are going to side with Miss Cui?" Han Nian looked up at her in disbelief.
Seeing that Fu Guiyun still had a cold face and was indifferent, she had to quickly look at Lu Linchu. To confirm that neither of them had any intention of compromising, she immediately got up and ran out sobbing.
"It's my fault for not arranging this matter properly today. Guiyun, don't be angry."
Lu Linchu frowned and said comfortingly: "I will go and talk to Ying'er in person another day."
After saying this, he stood up angrily and left Chuxian Palace.
Watching his lonely figure leaving, Fu Guiyun knew clearly that the prince was not angry because Han Nian did not apologize to Cui Ying properly, but because of what Han Nian said.
Lu Linchu was raised in the palm of the hand since he was young. He was arrogant and proud. He was trapped in the capital by Emperor Hui in the past two years and had long hated the emperor.
If it weren't for the situation, he would definitely not want to send Cui Ying into the palace.
In his eyes, both Cui Ying and Han Nian were just a pair of orphans whom he had taken in out of kindness. How could he watch these poor creatures whom he had taken in take advantage of the power of Emperor Hui to trample on his head?
Han Nian's seemingly unintentional words today, such as "worshiping Cui Ying like a god and praising her to the sky" and even kneeling down to beg for her forgiveness, were all meant to sow discord between Lu Linchu and Cui Ying, in an attempt to make Lu Linchu fear and hate Cui Ying.
By the way, she showed off her sense of superiority, making Cui Ying feel that she, Han Nian, was the person the prince cared about most.
No wonder Cui Ying emphasized from the beginning that she should only address her as sister-in-law. She is really a smart person.
Fu Guiyun would definitely not pay any attention to the jealousy among these women, but if it involved important matters in the palace, that would be a different matter.
No matter how well Han Nian flatters him, it will be useless.
After thinking for a while, it seems that I have to find a husband for this girl and marry her off as soon as possible.
She immediately called Cheng Kui over and asked thoughtfully, "Little Kui, I heard that Master Youxi also returned to Liyang City with the wedding delegation this time."
"Exactly."
Cheng Kui smiled and said, "The Crown Prince's Consort really didn't make a mistake in choosing the right person. Steward You has managed the Northern Palace very well. In less than a year, he has saved up 300,000 taels of silver for the palace, as well as 20,000 shi of surplus grain, which he sent to Liyang City."
Fu Guiyun nodded with satisfaction: "He does have some skills."
I didn't expect You Dian to be able to make Wangzhuang in Beifu profitable. As long as he didn't make a loss, it would be enough. I never expected such a prosperous scene to appear in the first year after he took over Beifu.
It seems that he has really mended his ways.
Fu Guiyun took the account book handed over by Cheng Kui, took a quick look at it, and then casually said:
"Now that he is the steward, he should not be too hard on himself, let alone on everyone else. When Master Youxi returns, take out three thousand taels of silver and one thousand five hundred rolls of newly woven Liyang Rain Flower Brocade from the treasury and let him give them to everyone according to their rank, so that everyone can have a prosperous year."
Cheng Kui replied, "Manager You asked Master Youxi to bring back a message that he has kept enough money for the palace and the mansion. As for himself, the manor that the Crown Princess left to Yulian and her daughter is enough for the family to live on, so the Crown Princess doesn't need to worry about it."
"He deserves it."
Fu Guiyun smiled and said, "Everyone has worked hard for a year, and we in Liyang City should reward everyone."
Only then did Cheng Kui accept the order.
Fu Guiyun stared at him for a long while before getting straight to the point: "Xiao Kuizi, Master Youxi is probably not married yet, right?"
"Young Master Youxi has not yet come of age. The prince values him highly, so I think he will have to wait for another two years."
The Crown Prince's Consort suddenly asked about this matter, and Cheng Kui had already guessed it in his heart: "Could it be that the Crown Prince's Consort wants to marry Miss Nian Nian to Master Youxi?"
Fu Guiyun did have this intention: "Do you think this marriage is suitable?"
"Miss Nian Nian is the descendant of a loyal hero, and she is also the adopted sister of the Crown Prince. If this really works out, Young Master Youxi will be marrying up."
Cheng Kui smiled and said, "I am afraid that Miss Nian Nian will look down on Master Youxi."
After all, the woman's mind is on the eldest and fourth sons.
Fu Guiyun thought for a moment and said, "I'll find a suitable time to discuss this matter with them first."
Cheng Kui was silent for a moment, and then said, "There is one more thing. Yin Cangyin, the governor of Dongyi City, came to Liyang City. He was beaten by the Lu family army's defenders as soon as he entered the city. He happened to be seen by the Fourth Young Master, who placed him in the post house first."
"Been beaten?"
Fu Guiyun was startled and raised his eyebrows: "Hong Qian is on the top of the city all day long, and no one is trying to stop him."
It is now the 100th day since the 300 generals suffered on the Li River. According to the agreement, Yin Cang should come to pay his respects.
Hong Qian and Huang Sheng both knelt before him and confessed their sins that day. It has only been a hundred days, so how could they have forgotten his warnings?
"Please prepare some small gifts and go visit Governor Yin in person on my behalf."
Fu Guiyun ordered: "When the snow stops, I will go with the prince to pay a visit in person."
"Yes."
After reporting the matter, Cheng Kui left Chuxian Palace.
Fu Guiyun rubbed her brows lightly. She had a headache because of these two things today. Fortunately, You Dian managed Beifu well, which made her happy.
Han Nian left Chuxian Palace in a hurry, crying all the way, and rushed around in the snow, scaring the servants on the road so much that their faces turned pale and no one dared to come forward to talk to him.
When passing by Muxiangzhai, he saw that the lights inside were still on. Thinking of what Chu Huaixi had done to him that day, Han Nian felt even more depressed and walked in straight away.
Han You and Chu Huaixi were sitting leisurely beside the charcoal basin, complaining that the prince had not returned to Muxiangzhai for a long time, when they saw a figure rushing in hurriedly.
Until they saw the person's face clearly, they were both frightened and quickly stopped talking.
"Miss Nian Nian, this is..."
Han You stood up blankly and subconsciously raised her hands to cover her cheeks.
Han Nian glared at Chu Huaixi, who was still sitting calmly, and coldly stretched out his finger, slowly pointing at the stool where she was sitting: "You took my place."
