Chapter 675 Chess Pieces
Back from Aunt Chen's place, Lin Yuan was always in a bad mood, until she met Chen Shimei, who was dressed brightly at the gate of Xiangmanlou, Lin Yuan sneered, and finally found an outlet to vent her anger.
To put it bluntly, he was asking for trouble. He met his friends for dinner at Zuixianlou, but after seeing Xiangmanlou, he decided to humiliate Lin Yuan on the spur of the moment.No, as soon as they reached the gate of Xiangmanlou, they met Lin Yuan who got off the carriage.
Lin Yuan's eyes were stung by Chen Shimei's gorgeous dress, and she curled her lips coldly. Before she could speak, Chen Shimei on the opposite side said arrogantly: "Oh, shopkeeper Lin, I didn't expect such a coincidence today. I can still meet you here."
Lin Yuan shook the goosebumps on her body, and said calmly, "Isn't it a coincidence? You can meet people you hate no matter where you go."
Xu was hurt by Lin Yuan's dismissive expression, Chen Shimei frowned, and snorted with some dissatisfaction: "Lin Yuan, do you really think that you are still the owner of Fumanlou now? Huh, you Xiangmanlou There's a life lawsuit in Loudu, don't you know? In vain I was still thinking about my past friendship and wanted to give you a hand. You don't know how to be grateful, and you put on such an arrogant look, you really Do you think you are a star in the sky?"
"Are you here to help me? You obviously came to see a joke!"
Lin Yuan laughed angrily at this shameless guy, and said that she cared about the past relationship, not to mention that there was no relationship at all between them, even if there was, he was really a nostalgic relationship as he said people?It's ridiculous that people who don't even care about their own parents still talk about love without shame!
After being told by Lin Yuan, Chen Shimei felt uncomfortable for a moment, but in the past few months in Yecheng, his knowledge did not improve much, and his face was a lot thicker.
"Yes, since you noticed it, then I'll just say it straight, I'm here to see your jokes." Chen Shimei crossed her arms, relying on her height advantage, looked down at Lin Yuan with a high-spirited look: "You Isn’t he the boss who climbed up Fumanlou? Didn’t he look down on me just because he has a few filthy money in his hand? Heh, how about it, it’s all right now, something happened to Xiangmanlou, where is your lover? He ran away? Hehe, Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan, I thought you were a smart woman, but you are also a fool!"
Lin Yuan leaned against the carriage with a half-smile, crossed her arms, and quietly watched Chen Shimei say a lot about herself. After someone finally stopped talking, Lin Yuan picked out her ears and said with a smile: "Huh? Finished? Now, it's my turn."
Chen Shimei's mouth was dry and her cheeks hurt. She thought that Lin Yuan would either become angry after hearing these words, or burst into tears and snot with regret, but she didn't expect that this girl actually laughed!
She can still laugh!
"Say it!" Chen Shimei was so angry that her teeth itch.
Lin Yuan shrugged, and only said one sentence: "Mr. Chen, you don't need to worry about my affairs. You, you should worry about your parents. The place where they live now is dirty and poor. If others know that the parents of a big man like you live in such a crappy place..."
"Lin Yuan! Shut up!" Chen Shimei was ashamed and anxious, he was the one who was really angry!
Chen Shimei looked behind him nervously, Zuixianju was just across from Xiangmanlou, and they were surrounded by prominent figures in Yecheng, who were somewhat familiar with Chen Shimei.
Seeing a strange look from someone, Chen Shimei took a few steps closer, and threatened in a deep voice: "Lin Yuan, don't talk nonsense! I am an orphan, and I have no parents!"
When he approached, Lin Yi had already blocked Lin Yuan first.However, Lin Yuan knew that this Chen Shimei was just a strong outsider but not useful.
Signaling Lin Yi not to be nervous, Lin Yuan came out from behind him with a look of disappointment on his face: "Chen Zhuzi, don't you really think that changing your name will change your life experience? Don't forget that you are Where did you come from? Don’t forget that when you fled from your hometown, Aunt Chen and Aunt Chen sold their daughter in order to keep your only son! You are not alone in your responsibility, and Your dead and sold brothers and sisters! In the dead of night, don’t you feel chills running down your back? Huh, Chen Zhuzi, good and evil are rewarded, so do it yourself!”
Throwing down a sentence, Lin Yuan gave him a disgusted look, really thinking that she would never see this ungrateful villain again in her life!
Chen Shimei stood there stiffly, all she was thinking about was what she said just now, good and evil will be rewarded, good and evil will be rewarded...
In the private room on the second floor of Xiangman Building, Xia Zheng leisurely sat by the window and sipped tea, until someone walked in angrily, and couldn't help laughing: "Why, you scolded him bloody , I am so angry with myself. This is not like your style!"
Lin Yuan glared at him, knowing that this guy couldn't allow herself to be alone with Chen Zhuzi, seeing his grinning face.
"Hmph, this seems to be your style, watching us quarrel with cold eyes, if we are not quarreling, but flirting, dare I ask Mr. Xia, would you jump off here in a hurry?"
Lin Yuan sat down on the chair, snatched the teacup from Xia Zheng's hand and drank it with her head up. After drinking, she still felt puzzled: "Have another cup!"
Xia Zheng raised his eyebrows, filled her cup obediently, and smiled seductively: "I, I shouldn't let you drink this kind of tea, I should go to Mrs. An's and ask for some chrysanthemums, so that you can drink it well." Go to the fire."
Knowing that he was deliberately teasing herself, Lin Yuan glared at him, and while drinking tea, hummed: "How can I ask for some, you have to sun-dry some chrysanthemums for me by yourself. Look at An Jie's wife, yes He is so kind, even the chrysanthemums are picked and dried by himself!"
"In your opinion, this is called affection?" Xia Zheng raised his eyebrows suddenly, and asked a seemingly inexplicable question.
Sure enough, Lin Yuan was dizzy by him: "Why, isn't it?"
"You are a woman, what do women think, why do you ask me?" Xia Zheng took the empty teacup from her with a smile, poured out the cold residual tea, and refilled her with a new cup of tea.
"This, this."
Lin Yuan scratched her hair in embarrassment. To be honest, she really didn't know. In her previous life, she devoted herself to gourmet food, and even ignored family affection, let alone love.In this life, I have met the man I like, but if Xia Zheng hadn't taken the initiative to attack, I'm afraid Lin Yuan would still be ignorant of what love is this time!
Seeing her really stumped, Xia Zheng shook his head helplessly, and decided to give up this topic.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Lin Yuan looked around in embarrassment, and found that shopkeeper Wu was not in Xiangmanlou, so she couldn't help asking: "Where is shopkeeper Wu? Was it really taken away by Tang Qing?"
It's no wonder Lin Yuan was worried. When someone asked her to leave, Tang Qing's smiling tiger came in.
Xia Zheng rolled her eyes at her, and snorted angrily: "Is the master so useless? Just come and take someone away from the master?"
Hearing what he said, Lin Yuan felt relieved.
Xia Zheng added: "We can't get involved in the affairs of the An family members, but shopkeeper Wu has been in Yecheng for many years and has a lot of contacts. My master asked him to inquire about the affairs of the An family members."
So that's the case, Lin Yuan nodded. Although she didn't think it was poisoned by the An family members, it's better to check just in case.What made them even more puzzled was that no one knew what kind of poison An Jie was poisoned by.Lin Yuan suspected it was food poisoning, but he wasn't the only one who ate the food that day. She had never seen anyone who had food poisoning alone.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but said: "Let Lin Yi bring Lao Fan here. With him here, at least we can find out what kind of poison An Jie has."
Xia Zheng nodded. Anyway, he was protecting Lin Yuan in Yecheng, so let Lin Yi go to Zhuma Town.
In a small courtyard of Tang Qing's mansion, a man in a blue robe was feeding the koi in the pond leisurely.Those groups of fat and beautiful koi are fighting for a piece of food, so lively.
Tang Qing walked over quickly and saluted respectfully: "The next official pays homage to the second prince."
Youzai Youzai is the second prince Zhao Hongsheng who feeds the fish.
Zhao Hongsheng threw down the last piece of food in his hand, looked at the picture of the fish scrambling for it, and smiled comfortably: "How is it? Does it make you look ugly?"
Tang Qing became more respectful, without the slick smile he had when he was in Xiangmanlou just now: "It is the blessing of the lower official to be able to serve the second prince. complain."
Zhao Hongsheng chuckled, turned around and helped Tang Qing, who was still saluting, with his own hands, and said meaningfully: "Master Tang's words are serious, my prince doesn't care about your head, what this prince wants is your daughter."
It has to be said that Zhao Hongsheng really has a skill in winning people's hearts, and with just a few words, he tied Tang Qing tightly to his side for his use.
As soon as they bowed together, Tang Qing's mood was very different, and he became a little more loyal in his loyalty: "The second prince really knew things like a god, and Mr. Xia did not suspect that person. Even if they found out the poison My lord, this Xiangmanlou is definitely going to collapse. If one of them collapses, are you afraid that the other branches won’t collapse? When the third prince loses his source of income, how can he compete with the second prince?”
The more Tang Qing talked, the more excited he seemed to have seen the scene where Zhao Hongsheng ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and his daughter was the queen, but it was still unknown whether his dream of being the head of the country would come true.
Zhao Hongsheng curled his lips into a smile, and said again: "Did you see that woman?"
"I see." Although he didn't specify who it was, Tang Qing also understood that he was talking about Lin Yuan next to Xia Zheng. "That woman looks ordinary and inconspicuous. I will be attracted to her inexplicably."
This feeling made him very disgusted, and there was one more thing he didn't say, that is, this woman was very smart and courageous at first glance, comparable to his daughter.
"Oh?" Zhao Hongsheng was full of curiosity about Lin Yuan when he was in the capital, and this time he came to Ye City, most likely because he wanted to see what is so special about her, and Xia Zheng could actually see her in his eyes.
Tang Qing smiled awkwardly, and said: "Second Young Master loves this woman very much. After the official passed, he deliberately sent her out. Obviously he didn't want her to participate in the royal family battle."
"Royal battle?" Zhao Hongsheng snorted lightly, trying to save her from the royal battle?Want to keep her safe?Xia Zheng, Xia Zheng, you've been smart all your life in vain, and there are times when you are confused. From the moment you knew her, she has been deeply involved in this whirlpool.
Seeing that Tang Qing hesitated and seemed to have something to say, Zhao Hongsheng couldn't help asking.
Tang Qing laughed embarrassingly, wiped the cold sweat with his sleeve, and said: "Well, the second son asked me to tell your highness, saying yes, saying that you have prepared your favorite honey bean shortbread, and saying The shortbread is full of ingredients, please come and taste it.”
Although Tang Qing knew that it was not appropriate to say what to eat at this time, he always felt that Xia Zheng's words had some meaning, so after thinking about it, he still told Zhao Hongsheng the original words.
Sure enough, this is very important.
Zhao Hongsheng took a deep breath of air, and suddenly felt pain in his stomach, and his face turned pale.
Tang Qing was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him. While asking, he secretly lamented Xia Zheng's good tricks. Just one sentence could poison the second prince on the spot, and he didn't know what kind of poison it was so powerful!
If he knew what Tang Qing was thinking at this time, Zhao Hongsheng would definitely become angry and slap him into the crack of the ground.
It is true that Zhao Hongsheng likes honey bean shortbread, but that was something that happened when he was a child. Ever since Xia Zheng and Zhao Hongde secretly put croton into his shortbread, which caused him to have diarrhea for several days, Zhao Hongsheng Stay away from the honey bean shortbread.
However, this Tang Qing was too cautious, and he had to tell Zhao Hongsheng exactly what he heard from Xia Zheng, which made him start to have a stomachache again at this time.
"Your Highness? Your Highness?" Fearing that Zhao Hongsheng had really been poisoned by some serious poison, Tang Qing was anxious and frightened, and his face was paler than paper with worry.
Fortunately, Zhao Hongsheng did not directly hear the word Croton this time, and his reaction was not as strong as last time in the capital. Although the pain was not so severe that he ran to the latrine, his stomach was really uncomfortable.
"Your Highness, how do you feel?" A gentle and crisp voice sounded in his ears, and Zhao Hongsheng felt his whole body become smoother.
Seeing that his daughter finally came, Tang Qing snickered, knowing that Zhao Hongsheng was fine at this time, so he quietly retreated.When passing by his daughter, he still squeezed his eyes hard and seized the opportunity to take him down!
However, Tang Ruyan didn't even look at her father, and walked past him with a tray, Tang Qing was so angry that she really wanted to scold her mother on the spot.
"Your Highness probably got cold while feeding the fish by the pond just now. Ru Yan personally cooked ginger soup. Drink it while it's hot to warm your body."
As he spoke, Su Bai's slender fingers picked up the bowl and brought it to Zhao Hongsheng.
Ever since he was teased by Xia Zheng and Zhao Hongde when he was a child, Zhao Hongsheng never dared to eat anything casually brought to him by others.He glanced at the bowl of ginger soup, his vigilance flashed away, and he said with a smile: "It's just a stomachache, how can it be so delicate?"
Tang Ruyan is extremely smart, why can't Zhao Hongsheng not drink ginger soup?
"Your Highness is a prince, the son of a real dragon, how can he not be delicate?" Tang Ruyan smiled slightly, picked up a small spoon to scoop up a spoonful of ginger soup, blew on the hot air, and drank it first, and then took another spoonful The spoon was brought to Zhao Hongsheng's mouth: "It's not hot anymore, Your Highness should use some."
Zhao Hongsheng's stomach hurts intermittently, and he was about to drink something warm at this time. Seeing Tang Ruyan test the poison himself, he felt relieved, took the bowl and took a sip, and he really felt warm, and his stomach was not as warm as before. It hurts so much.
After drinking a bowl of ginger soup, Zhao Hongsheng said to Tang Ruyan with a smile, "The ginger soup Yan'er cooked is like a panacea. My stomach is really fine."
Tang Ruyan lowered her eyes with a smile, covering the disappointment in her eyes. After all, he still didn't trust himself.
"It is Yan'er's blessing to be able to serve His Highness."
Zhao Hongsheng liked this smart and well-behaved woman very much. If it weren't for her advice, Anjie's poisoning would not have gone so smoothly, and Xiangmanlou would not have been defeated so easily by him. It can be said that if Zhao Hongsheng could ascend to the throne in the future , Tang Ruyan contributed a lot.
"Yan'er." Zhao Hongsheng held Tang Ruyan's soft little hand tightly, and said what he thought was the sweetest love story in his most gentle tone: "Yan'er, it is thanks to you that the settlement of the family can be so smooth this time. After my position is stabilized, I will marry you as my concubine just like my father asked for an order."
Tang Ruyan was obviously taken aback, her eyes glowed brightly, just when Zhao Hongsheng thought she was about to cry with excitement, Tang Ruyan suddenly changed her voice and shook her head again and again: "Your Highness, no."
No?Why?
Zhao Hongsheng didn't understand, thinking she didn't understand, he couldn't help adding: "Yan'er, what I'm talking about is marrying you as a concubine, the right concubine."
This time Tang Ruyan refused more firmly, her eyes were full of admiration and planning for Zhao Hongsheng: "Because of the position of concubine, Yan'er can't agree. Your Highness, Yan'er loves His Highness, but I hope that His Highness can fulfill his wish to ascend to the throne." Go to a high position. Therefore, Your Highness, Yan'er can't block your ambitious future for the sake of your own children's affair."
Zhao Hongsheng obviously didn't expect Tang Ruyan to be so considerate of him, so he couldn't help being a little dazed. He had seen many women, and there were many counselors like Tang Qing around him, who were not staring at his concubine position, who were not waiting for him After being crowned the Great Treasure, will the Queen's position be included in the bag?
Tang Ruyan's mind is like a monster, so she naturally understood what kind of disturbance her words would cause in Zhao Hongsheng's heart, but she concealed it well, as if she didn't see the special feelings for herself in Zhao Hongsheng's eyes, and then said: "Your Highness, forgive me You talk too much, you shouldn't marry me, not even An's younger sister. A woman who can be your concubine must not only come from a noble family, but also be helpful to your future."
Zhao Hongsheng looked at her with great interest, admiring and smiling: "Then, from what you can see, which family's daughter meets this requirement?"
Tang Ruyan curled her lips into a smile: "Didn't Your Highness know that you still want to ask Yan'er?"
Zhao Hongsheng laughed, and took Tang Ruyan into his arms for the first time, both happy and pity: "Yan'er, you are indeed my Xie Yuhua, if An Le'er is half as sensible as you, I don't need to bother so much." gone."
Tang Ruyan smiled coquettishly and lowered her head.It's just that where Zhao Hongsheng couldn't see it, there was a flash of light in his eyes.
When Tang Ruyan came out of the room, Tang Qing, who was hiding in the corner, pulled her to a place where there was no one else. After watching carefully, she scolded angrily: "You damn girl! The second prince wants you to be the concubine. That's worthy of you!" You! You don’t want it? You don’t want it! Damn girl, you are going to piss dad off!”
Tang Ruyan looked coldly at her father scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry, and couldn't help frowning: "Father, you have been in the officialdom for so many years, do you really think that the second prince will allow me to be the concubine?"
"What, what?" Tang Qing's eyes widened, and he looked at his unusually calm daughter in disbelief, "Could it be, wouldn't it be?"
"Of course not." Tang Ruyan sneered: "You are just a small magistrate, how can you compare with the prime minister's dignity? As for me, except for having a smarter mind that is useful to him, nothing else can compare to that Su Qiuyu. Besides, father, don't forget that Su Qiuyu is the empress's niece and daughter, and she has no children in the middle palace. The second prince's acquisition of Su Qiuyu is equivalent to the support of the queen. In this regard, he compares Everyone knows better."
Tang Qing also understood what his daughter said.But.
"But didn't Su Qiuyu like Xia Zheng?"
Tang Ruyan looked at her father as if she was a fool. How could her father, who is usually very smart, suddenly become so stupid?
"That's why the second prince is so eager to bring him down. Besides, Dad, you just said that there is a woman next to Xia Zheng." Tang Ruyan licked her hair and reminded: "Father, let my daughter remind you Tell me, that Lin Yuan, you'd better not touch her, I think the second prince also wants her to be intact."
Tang Qing frowned, feeling that what her daughter said seemed to be quite right.However, the Queen's position is handed over to others like this, it's really not reconciled!
"But, daddy has tried his best to support the second prince, isn't it just to earn you the position of queen? Now you hand it over to someone else, you let daddy, how can you let daddy be reconciled! Hey!"
Speaking of this, Tang Ruyan smiled lightly, as if everything was in her hands: "Father, you can't trust your daughter?"
how come?In this world, he believes in his smart daughter the most!
"Since you trust your daughter, you don't have to worry about it."
Tang Ruyan raised her chin confidently: "Daddy thinks that women like An Yueer and Su Qiuyu will be my daughter's opponent? Oh, since my daughter dares to give up the Queen's position, she has the ability to take it back!" Come back. So what about Su Qiuyu? Apart from having a father who is the prime minister and an aunt who is the queen, what else can she compare to me? The queen is just for me to take care of for the time being."
Knowing his daughter's intelligence and means, Tang Qing finally felt relieved, and said with a smile: "If you have a daughter, Dad will feel at ease."
Tang Ruyan curled her lips, and looked into the room where Zhao Hongsheng was, where a figure came out of the window.Even though it was only a vague shadow, it still made her admiringly tremble.It has to be said that she likes this man, but he only regards her as a pawn to seize the throne.
piece?Since they are both pawns, then she will be the smartest pawn, the only pawn that he can appreciate!

Seeing that Tang Qing hesitated and seemed to have something to say, Zhao Hongsheng couldn't help asking.
Tang Qing laughed embarrassingly, wiped the cold sweat with his sleeve, and said: "Well, the second son asked me to tell your highness, saying yes, saying that you have prepared your favorite honey bean shortbread, and saying The shortbread is full of ingredients, please come and taste it.”
Although Tang Qing knew that it was not appropriate to say what to eat at this time, he always felt that Xia Zheng's words had some meaning, so after thinking about it, he still told Zhao Hongsheng the original words.
Sure enough, this is very important.
Zhao Hongsheng took a deep breath of air, and suddenly felt pain in his stomach, and his face turned pale.
Tang Qing was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him. While asking, he secretly lamented Xia Zheng's good tricks. Just one sentence could poison the second prince on the spot, and he didn't know what kind of poison it was so powerful!
If he knew what Tang Qing was thinking at this time, Zhao Hongsheng would definitely become angry and slap him into the crack of the ground.
It is true that Zhao Hongsheng likes honey bean shortbread, but that was something that happened when he was a child. Ever since Xia Zheng and Zhao Hongde secretly put croton into his shortbread, which caused him to have diarrhea for several days, Zhao Hongsheng Stay away from the honey bean shortbread.
However, this Tang Qing was too cautious, and he had to tell Zhao Hongsheng exactly what he heard from Xia Zheng, which made him start to have a stomachache again at this time.
"Your Highness? Your Highness?" Fearing that Zhao Hongsheng had really been poisoned by some serious poison, Tang Qing was anxious and frightened, and his face was paler than paper with worry.
Fortunately, Zhao Hongsheng did not directly hear the word Croton this time, and his reaction was not as strong as last time in the capital. Although the pain was not so severe that he ran to the latrine, his stomach was really uncomfortable.
"Your Highness, how do you feel?" A gentle and crisp voice sounded in his ears, and Zhao Hongsheng felt his whole body become smoother.
Seeing that his daughter finally came, Tang Qing snickered, knowing that Zhao Hongsheng was fine at this time, so he quietly retreated.When passing by his daughter, he still squeezed his eyes hard and seized the opportunity to take him down!
However, Tang Ruyan didn't even look at her father, and walked past him with a tray, Tang Qing was so angry that she really wanted to scold her mother on the spot.
"Your Highness probably got cold while feeding the fish by the pond just now. Ru Yan personally cooked ginger soup. Drink it while it's hot to warm your body."
As he spoke, Su Bai's slender fingers picked up the bowl and brought it to Zhao Hongsheng.
Ever since he was teased by Xia Zheng and Zhao Hongde when he was a child, Zhao Hongsheng never dared to eat anything casually brought to him by others.He glanced at the bowl of ginger soup, his vigilance flashed away, and he said with a smile: "It's just a stomachache, how can it be so delicate?"
Tang Ruyan is extremely smart, why can't Zhao Hongsheng not drink ginger soup?
"Your Highness is a prince, the son of a real dragon, how can he not be delicate?" Tang Ruyan smiled slightly, picked up a small spoon to scoop up a spoonful of ginger soup, blew on the hot air, and drank it first, and then took another spoonful The spoon was brought to Zhao Hongsheng's mouth: "It's not hot anymore, Your Highness should use some."
Zhao Hongsheng's stomach hurts intermittently, and he was about to drink something warm at this time. Seeing Tang Ruyan test the poison himself, he felt relieved, took the bowl and took a sip, and he really felt warm, and his stomach was not as warm as before. It hurts so much.
After drinking a bowl of ginger soup, Zhao Hongsheng said to Tang Ruyan with a smile, "The ginger soup Yan'er cooked is like a panacea. My stomach is really fine."
Tang Ruyan lowered her eyes with a smile, covering the disappointment in her eyes. After all, he still didn't trust himself.
"It is Yan'er's blessing to be able to serve His Highness."
Zhao Hongsheng liked this smart and well-behaved woman very much. If it weren't for her advice, Anjie's poisoning would not have gone so smoothly, and Xiangmanlou would not have been defeated so easily by him. It can be said that if Zhao Hongsheng could ascend to the throne in the future , Tang Ruyan contributed a lot.
"Yan'er." Zhao Hongsheng held Tang Ruyan's soft little hand tightly, and said what he thought was the sweetest love story in his most gentle tone: "Yan'er, it is thanks to you that the settlement of the family can be so smooth this time. After my position is stabilized, I will marry you as my concubine just like my father asked for an order."
Tang Ruyan was obviously taken aback, her eyes glowed brightly, just when Zhao Hongsheng thought she was about to cry with excitement, Tang Ruyan suddenly changed her voice and shook her head again and again: "Your Highness, no."
No?Why?
Zhao Hongsheng didn't understand, thinking she didn't understand, he couldn't help adding: "Yan'er, what I'm talking about is marrying you as a concubine, the right concubine."
This time Tang Ruyan refused more firmly, her eyes were full of admiration and planning for Zhao Hongsheng: "Because of the position of concubine, Yan'er can't agree. Your Highness, Yan'er loves His Highness, but I hope that His Highness can fulfill his wish to ascend to the throne." Go to a high position. Therefore, Your Highness, Yan'er can't block your ambitious future for the sake of your own children's affair."
Zhao Hongsheng obviously didn't expect Tang Ruyan to be so considerate of him, so he couldn't help being a little dazed. He had seen many women, and there were many counselors like Tang Qing around him, who were not staring at his concubine position, who were not waiting for him After being crowned the Great Treasure, will the Queen's position be included in the bag?
Tang Ruyan's mind is like a monster, so she naturally understood what kind of disturbance her words would cause in Zhao Hongsheng's heart, but she concealed it well, as if she didn't see the special feelings for herself in Zhao Hongsheng's eyes, and then said: "Your Highness, forgive me You talk too much, you shouldn't marry me, not even An's younger sister. A woman who can be your concubine must not only come from a noble family, but also be helpful to your future."
Zhao Hongsheng looked at her with great interest, admiring and smiling: "Then, from what you can see, which family's daughter meets this requirement?"
Tang Ruyan curled her lips into a smile: "Didn't Your Highness know that you still want to ask Yan'er?"
Zhao Hongsheng laughed, and took Tang Ruyan into his arms for the first time, both happy and pity: "Yan'er, you are indeed my Xie Yuhua, if An Le'er is half as sensible as you, I don't need to bother so much." gone."
Tang Ruyan smiled coquettishly and lowered her head.It's just that where Zhao Hongsheng couldn't see it, there was a flash of light in his eyes.
When Tang Ruyan came out of the room, Tang Qing, who was hiding in the corner, pulled her to a place where there was no one else. After watching carefully, she scolded angrily: "You damn girl! The second prince wants you to be the concubine. That's worthy of you!" You! You don’t want it? You don’t want it! Damn girl, you are going to piss dad off!”
Tang Ruyan looked coldly at her father scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry, and couldn't help frowning: "Father, you have been in the officialdom for so many years, do you really think that the second prince will allow me to be the concubine?"
"What, what?" Tang Qing's eyes widened, and he looked at his unusually calm daughter in disbelief, "Could it be, wouldn't it be?"
"Of course not." Tang Ruyan sneered: "You are just a small magistrate, how can you compare with the prime minister's dignity? As for me, except for having a smarter mind that is useful to him, nothing else can compare to that Su Qiuyu. Besides, father, don't forget that Su Qiuyu is the empress's niece and daughter, and she has no children in the middle palace. The second prince's acquisition of Su Qiuyu is equivalent to the support of the queen. In this regard, he compares Everyone knows better."
Tang Qing also understood what his daughter said.But.
"But didn't Su Qiuyu like Xia Zheng?"
Tang Ruyan looked at her father as if she was a fool. How could her father, who is usually very smart, suddenly become so stupid?
"That's why the second prince is so eager to bring him down. Besides, Dad, you just said that there is a woman next to Xia Zheng." Tang Ruyan licked her hair and reminded: "Father, let my daughter remind you Tell me, that Lin Yuan, you'd better not touch her, I think the second prince also wants her to be intact."
Tang Qing frowned, feeling that what her daughter said seemed to be quite right.However, the Queen's position is handed over to others like this, it's really not reconciled!
"But, daddy has tried his best to support the second prince, isn't it just to earn you the position of queen? Now you hand it over to someone else, you let daddy, how can you let daddy be reconciled! Hey!"
Speaking of this, Tang Ruyan smiled lightly, as if everything was in her hands: "Father, you can't trust your daughter?"
how come?In this world, he believes in his smart daughter the most!
"Since you trust your daughter, you don't have to worry about it."
Tang Ruyan raised her chin confidently: "Daddy thinks that women like An Yueer and Su Qiuyu will be my daughter's opponent? Oh, since my daughter dares to give up the Queen's position, she has the ability to take it back!" Come back. So what about Su Qiuyu? Apart from having a father who is the prime minister and an aunt who is the queen, what else can she compare to me? The queen is just for me to take care of for the time being."
Knowing his daughter's intelligence and means, Tang Qing finally felt relieved, and said with a smile: "If you have a daughter, Dad will feel at ease."
Tang Ruyan curled her lips, and looked into the room where Zhao Hongsheng was, where a figure came out of the window.Even though it was only a vague shadow, it still made her admiringly tremble.It has to be said that she likes this man, but he only regards her as a pawn to seize the throne.
piece?Since they are both pawns, then she will be the smartest pawn, the only pawn that he can appreciate!
