The emperor's scheming: alluring the world

Chapter 60

Wei Xuanjin's words surprised Li Sister-in-law, she only knew that the old concubine was sent by the ancient country to marry her, but she didn't know that there was such a past in it.But she knew that the old concubine and the old Jiang Ning Wang were very affectionate, and the old Jiang Ning Wang was also a concubine and concubine. Looking at Jiang Ning Wang and Jiang Ning Wang Concubine, Li Sister knew that Jiang Ning Wang might be influenced by his parents, or maybe it was because of the influence of his parents. Inherited the infatuation in the old King Jiang Ning's bones, because he met the right person, no other woman could catch his eyes no matter how good he was.

"Although you have said this, I still want to tell you that no matter how hard you try, you will still be disappointed in the end. Even if I don't marry in my life, I will never marry a man from the Wei family. The reason for this is that I miss you It should be clearer than anyone else." Because part of the same blood flows in each other's bodies, Li Sister-in-law doesn't want to lie to him.

Hearing this, Wei Xuanjin's eyes flashed with complex colors. He could understand her feelings. She was a weak woman unable to take revenge. Wrong again and again, so this is the truth.

Afterwards, both of them were silent, and sat facing each other for a while. Suddenly, the butler came to the attic in a hurry. After he saluted Li Sister-in-law and Wei Xuanjin, he said cautiously, "Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince came to visit and said that he heard that Ying Ying Princess Su was injured and recuperating at the residence, so she came here to visit her."

Hearing this, Li Meizhen frowned in displeasure, aside from the fact that he is the son of Emperor Cheng and Empress Wu, she really didn't like Wei Haoyou, a prodigal son like Wei Haoyou: "Tell the fifth prince, just say I am the son of noon." Haven't gotten up."

From the tone of his voice, Wei Xuanjin knew that Li Sister-in-law seemed to be disgusted with the Fifth Prince. Seeing the butler's embarrassed face, he stood up with a smile and said, "Let me help you send him away! The butler can't settle this matter. "

"Thank you." Looking at Wei Xuanjin gratefully, Li Sister's tone was much softer.

In front of the butler, there were some things that he couldn't say, so Wei Xuanjin just smiled, and took the butler to the lobby of the main building.

As soon as Wei Xuanjin left, Li Sister-in-law left Liuchun Pavilion with Mo Shu and Bo Liuzi, and went back to Yujing Pavilion.

"I don't know that the fifth prince is here, but I'm sorry to welcome you." Wei Xuanjin entered the main hall of the main building, saw Wei Haoyou and others were a little impatient, and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile on his face to make amends.

Wei Haoyou didn't care about the shabbiness, so he got up and looked behind Wei Xuanjin, seeing that he was the only one coming, he sat down a little discouraged and said, "I'm here to visit Princess Yingsu, why did you come here?" .”

Taking a panoramic view of his expression, Wei Xuanjin secretly sighed in her heart for another person who was trapped by love and pity her, but she smiled apologetically on her face: "Cousin took a break after lunch and drank the medicine, maybe the medicine is not effective. Not yet, I sent someone to ask just now, and I haven’t woken up yet!”

Wei Haoyou heard the words, but he didn't really believe it. He stared at Wei Xuanjin suspiciously for a long time, and saw that the other party was the same as usual, and he didn't feel guilty at all, so he dispelled his doubts and said in disappointment: "Hey , I came at the wrong time, here are some tonics in my house, please help me to give it to the princess!"

After Wei Haoyou finished speaking, the guards who came with him handed over the large and small bags in their hands to the butler who was waiting at the side. The butler saw that his eldest son did not refuse, so he took it and passed it to the maidservant at the side.

"Give these to Aunt Mo first, and Aunt Mo will tell her when my cousin wakes up." Wei Xuanjin glanced at the large and small boxes containing precious medicinal materials, and ordered indifferently.

The butler followed his words and took the maid back to the Yujing Pavilion, while Wei Xuanjin sat down on the seat below Wei Haoyou and said: "The Spring Festival is over, and the fifth prince will probably get up and go back soon. Go to Xijiang!"

When it came to the matter of going back to Xijiang, Wei Haoyou's face turned gloomy. He looked at the teacup in his hand and said with a downcast expression, "I'm afraid I'm going to stay in Xindu for the time being. Yesterday, the Queen Mother spoke to Father, begging Father Let me stay in Beijing for a while longer, and also proposed to find a prudent and trustworthy general to take over my military affairs in western Xinjiang."

Wei Xuanjin's face was startled when he heard this, and he hesitated for a moment before lowering his voice and said: "Is the empress asking the emperor to accept your military power? But why did she do this? Leaving you to be an idle prince in Beijing Isn't it like her behavior?"

Wei Haoyou was not angry because of these words, because Wei Xuanjin was telling the truth, besides, he knew his queen mother quite well, she was a woman who liked to control everything and power, how could she be willing to control everything in her hand? Handing over the power of one hundred thousand soldiers, this kind of decentralization, with her temperament, would not do it no matter what, so what is the reason why she is willing to give up power?

"Can the emperor agree to the queen's request?" Seeing that Wei Haoyou remained silent, Wei Xuanjin probably knew the knot between him and Empress Wu's mother and son, so she brought the topic to Emperor Cheng.

"Father did not agree, nor did he give a letter of approval. He only said that the harem should not interfere in politics, and the mother is more strict." Wei Haoyou frowned and said, this is the worst. I was afraid that my mother would bring it up first, but I guessed my father's mind correctly, and wanted to use this matter to win his father's attention again.

Wei Xuanjin's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and after a moment of silence, he comforted him again: "Not everyone in Xijiang can defend it, and the barbarians outside the pass are afraid of your reputation, so they have not dared to act rashly for many years. , if your military power is taken away, and you are left in Beijing and sent to take over, I am afraid that there will be troubles in the western border soon, the emperor is a wise king, and he will never do things that are not good for the people, so you can rest assured!"

Hearing this, Wei Haoyou forced a smile, and then sat for a while, because he had something on his mind and was really not in the mood, so he got up and said goodbye and left.

Sending Wei Haoyou away, Wei Xuanjin turned around and went to Yujing Pavilion. In Yujing Pavilion, Li Sister-in-law was sitting in the courtyard reading a book while basking in the sun. Seeing Wei Xuanjin coming, she put down the book in her hand. : "The medicinal material sent by the fifth prince is too precious, please help me return it tomorrow!"

When Wei Xuanjin entered the courtyard, Mo Shu let Bo Liuzi enter the room and brought out a round stool. Now that he sat down with his robes on his back, he answered irrelevant questions: "The fifth prince mentioned something to me just now, the empress Speak to the emperor, begging the emperor to keep the five princes in Beijing, and don’t send anyone to take over the military affairs in the western border, this is a disguised way to take over the military power from the five princes, and the five princes are very worried about this."

Li Meiying heard the words, her expression was still indifferent, she closed the book and said with a smile: "I am just a girl in the boudoir. These important affairs of the state are taken care of by those ministers. Besides, women in Daxin cannot discuss politics. The prince seems to have chosen the wrong one." object of discussion."
