Resourceful beauty

Chapter 314
"Master, look, who is here?"

Su Ye's beaming voice sounded, Fang Ruxuan looked up, and saw Wu Xiuyan appearing in front of the screen with a smile on her face.

Fang Ruxuan's eyes immediately looked behind her.

Sure enough, Wu Xiuyan was followed by the nurse, and in the nurse's arms, there was a big red gold silk cloak.

"Hurry up and let me see. I haven't seen her for a long time."

Talking happily, Fang Ruxuan waved for Wu Xiuyan to come over and sit down, while taking the baby from the nurse's arms.

Putting the cloak on the soft couch, Fang Ruxuan lay down and played with the baby. After a while, Nurse Chen came over with Brother Ming in her arms.

Seeing a child younger than himself, Brother Ming looked surprised, and when he was put in front of the little baby, he still had a serious expression on his face, which made Wu Xiuyan laugh uncontrollably, and copied Ming Brother In the arms, kissed a few mouthfuls fondly.

The two were talking, but Wu Xiuyan never mentioned what she was here for today, Fang Ruxuan didn't ask, and the two talked about the child for a while.

"King Ping told you about the feudal clan?"

Thinking of the Jiufan incident that had caused a lot of turmoil a few days ago, Fang Ruxuan raised her eyes and asked Wu Xiuyan.

Nodding her head, Wu Xiuyan smiled and said, "It's just something that happened to King Rui, so what does it have to do with my Highness? However, it's a good thing if I really want to become a feudal clan. When the time comes, I'll go down with His Highness." Fandi, but the sky is really high, the birds fly and the sea is wide, and the fish leap. However, I still feel a little bit reluctant in my heart."

If she really went to the feudal land, she would not be allowed to come back without being summoned by the king. At that time, it would not be so easy for Wu Xiuyan to come back to visit her parents at will.

"That's why you can only gain if you give up. How can there be anything perfect in the world?"

Fang Ruxuan said with a smile.

Nodding her head, Wu Xiuyan looked complacent, "Father and mother are still healthy, and there will be no problem with their longevity for decades, and my brothers and sisters are filial, so I really followed His Highness to the feudal domain, with concerns in my heart, but Don't worry. Your Highness is kind to me, and I went to the feudal land, free and at ease, but I feel that what I get is more than what I give."

Judging by the proud look on her face when she spoke, you can tell that life is going well. Fang Ruxuan is really happy for her, but at the same time, she doesn't forget to taunt her, "That's because you met the right person. If you change to someone else Lords, go ask their concubines if they would like to go to the vassal land."

Don't talk about Concubine Yong, but only Concubine Xuan and Concubine Rui, I'm afraid it's full of reluctance.

Now in Shangyang City, King Xuan and King Rui have to take care of the Marquis of Chang'an and Marquis of Lin'an, and think twice about everything they do, lest they offend the Yue family.

But if they go to the vassal land, King Xuan and King Rui are their own masters. At that time, they can really do whatever they want and do whatever they want.

To give the simplest example, if King Rui wants to take a concubine, he must first appease Princess Rui's emotions, so that the Marquis of Lin'an and his wife will not feel that they are ungrateful people and will wrong Princess Rui.But in the feudal land, King Rui would definitely not think about these things. Even if Princess Rui cried, made trouble and hanged herself, as long as no one was killed, what King Rui should do would definitely not delay a moment.

King Ping devoted himself to Wu Xiuyan and made such a promise, so Wu Xiuyan would not worry about it at all. This was the real reason why she was full of expectations about going to the vassal.

"Have you thought about it, where do you want to choose the domain?"

Fang Ruxuan regretted it as soon as she asked the question.

Without the care of the Queen Mother Lou all these years, King Yao might not have remembered that he had a son like King Ping, and King Ping might not have much initiative in the matter of Fan.

Unexpectedly, Wu Xiuyan smiled happily, "His Royal Highness said that he will not fight for any military fortress, and he does not expect to seal a land of fish and rice. Yao Kingdom is so big, it can be anywhere."

Satisfied and happy, King Ping has such a temperament, and so does Wu Xiuyan. I can't blame these two people for being so sweet. At this moment, Fang Ruxuan is actually a little envious of them.How much she wished that she and Chu Yuan could have such a free day.

After talking for a while, he turned around and saw that Qianqian had fallen asleep, beside him, Brother Ming was already rolling his eyes, as if Qianqian was a toy.

Seeing it was funny, but fearing that the conversation between herself and Wu Xiuyan would disturb Qianqian, Fang Ruxuan called the wet nurse and asked her to carry Qianqian to the Nuan Pavilion to sleep. Brother Ming also pointed at him, as if he wanted to go with her.

"Blessed is Qianqian. In the future, she will be protected by such a good brother..."

Wu Xiuyan smiled, and kissed Brother Ming on the face again.

The child was taken away, and only Fang Ruxuan and Wu Xiuyan were left in the inner hall. Only then did Wu Xiuyan open her mouth and talked about the purpose of her visit today, "His Royal Highness is in the Ministry of Industry, and he usually contacts water conservancy and river workers from all over the world. In the past few days, he It was discovered that Lizhou applied for 200 million taels of silver from the Ministry of Households under the pretext of building a river embankment."

This, Fang Ruxuan heard from Chu Yuan, at that time, it was just something that Chu Yuan was thinking about on the surface, Fang Ruxuan didn't think deeply about it, now that she heard Wu Xiuyan talking about it, Fang Ruxuan knew that there might be something strange about it.

"Last year, there was a severe drought in Lizhou. Let's not talk about what will happen this year. However, the embankment was renovated in the 25th year of Yongqian. Although it was repaired every five years, it is now time for renovation. , His Highness still felt that something was wrong, so he went to check the case file, and found out that not only Lizhou, but also several states near Lizhou had handed over such papers, but the amount of application was not that big, and , the Ministry of Household Affairs has already approved it, and the money is already on the way to be sent there."

Wu Xiuyan said with a serious face.

Although Chu Yuan is handling all the government affairs nowadays, after all, matters are divided into big and small matters. Chu Yuan is aware of such a big matter as 200 million taels of silver, but Chu Yuan does not necessarily know so clearly about other small matters.

What's more, if someone deliberately conceals this matter and doesn't want Chu Yuan to know, it's even easier. If King Ping didn't pay attention this time, I'm afraid that when Chu Yuan finds out, he won't know the year of the monkey.

"What did King Ping say?"

Nodding to indicate that she remembered it, Fang Ruxuan asked one more question.

Wu Xiuyan nodded hesitantly, "Your Highness only said that he found these inadequacies, but he didn't say much about the others. And he said that if he told His Highness the Crown Prince, he was afraid that it would fall into the ears of others, so he let me Carrying Qianqian into the palace to see you, let me give you and His Royal Highness the crown prince a breath of air."

"Go back and thank King Ping for me."

Fang Ruxuan thanked her sincerely.

Wu Xiuyan smiled and shook her head, "Father and son soldiers in battle, brothers who fight tigers, you and His Royal Highness, I, King Heping, always remember it in my heart. It's too polite of you to say that."

After talking for a while, Wu Xiuyan left. After that, Fang Ruxuan pondered for a long time.

First, she offered to take over the feudal clan, and then, before reaching the feudal land, she began to ask the court for money. Fang Ruxuan would not believe that King Rui was really dedicated to serving the people.

But if not, what does King Rui want to do?
Fang Ruxuan didn't even think about it until Chu Yuan came back.

Hearing Fang Ruxuan tell about King Ping's discovery, Chu Yuan's expression gradually became solemn. After a while, he smiled and said that nothing would happen, and accompanied Fang Ruxuan for lunch in a calm manner.

Chu Yuan went to the imperial study room without taking a nap.

Fang Ruxuan knew that Chu Yuan must have discovered something.

When the first heavy snow fell, it was already the second day of November, which happened to be the full moon day of the sixteenth princess who was born by Concubine Fang.

I always wanted to ask Concubine Fang something in my heart, but I didn't want to attract too much attention. These days, Fang Ruxuan did nothing, but when she received the invitation from Lanyue Pavilion, Fang Ruxuan told Ding Xiang to be serious. prepared a congratulatory gift.

At noon, Fang Ruxuan took mulberry and mulberry leaves to Lanyue Pavilion.

Although the little prince died early, it is an indisputable fact that Concubine Fang is pregnant with twins. In addition, Concubine Fang made a fuss in Jinghua Palace half a month ago, but King Yao and Queen Zhou did not express anything afterwards. The concubines and palace people felt that there was something strange about it, and looked at Concubine Fang with respect and awe.

In such a huge harem, even Fengming Palace and Concubine Fang personally delivered the posts, but Jinghua Palace didn't even put on a show.

As a result, everyone became more certain that Concubine Fang had identified Concubine Lu Ru as the murderer who killed the little prince, and planned to have no contact with Jinghua Palace from now on.

On the day of the sixteenth princess's full moon, Queen Zhou, Concubine Han and others each sent their capable maidservants to bring congratulatory gifts. No one came in person, but all the concubines who were lower than Concubine Fang arrived.

When Fang Ruxuan arrived, the main hall of Lanyue Pavilion was full of seats.

Concubine Fang greeted her in person, with a smile all over her face, "Princess Concubine is too polite, you are the most important person in the palace now, you should take good care of it."

Fang Ruxuan glanced around at those people in the hall, then turned her head to look at Concubine Fang and said, "If you have time, can you take a step to talk?"

After a moment of hesitation, Concubine Fang took Fang Ruxuan to the inner hall.

As soon as he turned around the screen, he said straight to the point: "If the Crown Princess wants to know the inside story of what I said in Jinghua Palace, I'm afraid she will be disappointed."

Fang Ruxuan was taken aback.

Concubine Fang's words were more blunt, "In the past, I wanted to cooperate with the Crown Princess. However, as time goes by, people will always change. Now, I just want to guard a pair of children and live a peaceful life. Regardless of the position ***********, the honor of a concubine in this palace cannot be escaped, so it is impossible to help someone or be an enemy to someone."

Turning around to look at Fang Ruxuan, Concubine Fang smiled regretfully, "So, I'm sorry that I can't tell you what the Crown Princess wants to know."

This scene was expected before coming here, Fang Ruxuan didn't feel too disappointed, but Fang Ruxuan's attitude made Fang Ruxuan more certain of one thing.
