Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 201 The Magical Use of Mrs. Cai
"Huh? Me?" Cai Yan stared, thinking of the empress dowager in the palace, the arrogance in her heart seemed to be extinguished a little, "If King Qi can't help him, how can I help him?"

Shen Xinniang looked straight at her with deep eyes, Cai Yan felt a little flustered, as if she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

"Miss Shen, I accept the prince's wishes. I...I also hope...you don't want to look at me like this. If I have half a way, how can I watch him being coerced and ignore him?" Cai Yan vowed.

Shen Xinniang nodded slowly, "The prince has never praised others, and he rarely showed a smile. He is called the cold-faced prince."

When Cai Yan heard this, she thought of the smile on Prince Qi's face that she had missed so far in the imperial garden, and couldn't help but blush when she thought of it, she murmured in a low voice: "He's not cold..."

"My lord praised Miss Cai, I think he thinks highly of Miss Cai." Shen Xiniang paid attention to the subtle changes in her expression, and said slowly.

"I, I know..." Cai Yan was angry and anxious, "How can I help him? What can I do to help the Queen Mother take back her life? I can't do anything! I really hate myself, if I can do my best for him, and I don't have to blame myself like this..."

More than self-blame, the regret and unwillingness in my heart are beyond words.

"Ms. Cai can do it." Shen Xiniang looked at her with a serious tone.

Cai Yan held back her crying when she heard the words, and was slightly taken aback, "I can? How can I help him?"

"In this world, the only thing that can overwhelm the Empress Dowager's decree is the Holy Majesty's decree." Shen Xinniang said slowly, "But the Majesty is hindered by filial piety, and under normal circumstances, the Empress Dowager's decree cannot be refuted, only—"

"Only what? Tell me!" Cai Yan urged impatiently.

"Only the ministers give advice together! In order to conform to the will of the people, the Holy Majesty stands on the avenue, so he can refute it, and he will not be criticized by others." Shen Xinniang's tone was firm but indifferent.

Cai Yan frowned puzzled, "Ministers jointly exhorted? Me, how can I move the ministers?"

"You can't, but Cai Xiang can." Shen Xiniang's eyes fixed on her face, "It just depends on whether the lady is willing to ask Cai Xiang."

Cai Yan stared, hesitated for a moment, and then stammered, "My grandpa? My grandpa can persuade the next minister... But, how could he listen to me?"

After she finished speaking, she shook her head again and again, her shoulders collapsed, and she felt powerless all over her body.

"Cai Xiang is the minister of the humerus left by the late emperor to the emperor. He is a veteran minister who is loyal to the emperor. He will certainly not sit back and watch the unfavorable things happen to the emperor." Getting along day and night, they are members of the same family, they are very close, and now they are talking about each other, the eighteen mothers of the Yu family must respect the Queen Mother extremely, such a woman, married into the Qi Palace, accompanied by the Prince of Qi every day, and by the Prince of Qi every night Saying good things about the Yu family in your ears, seducing them with sex, and driving them away with benefits, it is hard to guarantee that Prince Qi will not feel close to the Yu family."

Cai Yan's eyes widened upon hearing this.

"Prince Qi is the regent of the auxiliary country left by the previous emperor to the Holy One. Now he and his relatives are at odds with each other. If in the future, Prince Qi is close to the Yu family and the two sides are integrated, wouldn't the current Holy Majesty be completely emptied, even, Is it dangerous?" Shen Xinniang said slowly.

Cai Yan showed an expression of disbelief when she heard the words, "It's... so serious?"

Shen Xinniang nodded and took a sip of her tea, without saying much.

"I can't do this... If I tell grandpa like this, maybe grandpa can really agree!" Cai Yan said to herself.

Shen Xiniang nodded, "If you don't try, how will you know? If all the ministers jointly invite the Holy Majesty, and the Empress Dowager is not allowed to grant the marriage, this decree will not come true."

Cai Yan nodded anxiously, "Miss Shen is right, this method is feasible! It's not too late, I'll go back now, I'll beg Grandpa! Make sure Grandpa listen to me! How can Prince Qi marry Yu Shiba? ? Absolutely not!"

Cai Yan got up while talking, and walked out quickly.

When he came to the door, he turned around and smiled at Shen Xinniang, "Ms. Shen, thank you! Thank you for telling me this and helping me find a way!"

Shen Xinniang looked at her indifferently, and said gently: "You don't have to thank me, I'm doing it for myself too."

Cai Yan was stunned when she heard the words, thinking that she had been flattering herself so much in the past few days and squandering money wantonly, so that when she became the mistress in the future, she could treat her better and speak well of her in front of the lord.If the mistress suddenly changed to someone else, wouldn't all her hard work these days be in vain?She acted in this way, of course, for herself.

Cai Yan smiled and waved to her, "I see, you did a good job, I will keep it in my heart."

Shen Xinniang lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Cai Yan ran down the stairs quickly, stepped into the carriage in the backyard, and went straight to the house.

"Grandpa! Grandpa, Yan'er has something to see, something very important!" Cai Yan shouted anxiously outside Cai Xiang's study.

But the servant outside the study was guarding the door and not letting her into the yard, Cai Yan was sweating anxiously.If Grandpa doesn't start the preparations in time, won't it be impossible to stop the marriage by the Yi decree?

"Grandpa! Please meet Yan'er!" Cai Yan shouted.

"Screaming outside your grandfather's yard, what's the proper way?" Cai Yan's father was invited over by a servant, and just overheard her shouting outside the yard.He couldn't help scolding with a dark face.

The night breeze carried a cool smell, caressing the branches of the eucalyptus tree with fine yellow flowers, the branches and leaves moved slightly, and the yellow flowers fluttered down.It also brings a bit of cool air.

But Cai Yan, who was dripping with sweat on her forehead, couldn't feel a trace of coolness, "Father, you came just in time. I want to see grandpa. They won't let me in. Daddy will take me in! I really have something important." I need to see Grandpa!"

Master Cai looked displeased, "What's your matter, just go to your mother and tell, why bother your grandfather?"

Cai Yan shook her head again and again, "It is only useful to tell grandpa about this matter, what's the use of telling mother?"

Master Cai couldn't help frowning, "You are a little girl in the boudoir, what important things can you do?"

"Father, you brought me in to see Grandpa, so you'll know?" Cai Yan was anxious, but she also knew that it was really inappropriate to say this in front of a servant.

"Go, tell your mother first, if it's something important, your mother will definitely convey it to you! Let's play while you're at it!" Master Cai waved his hand.

"Father—" Cai Yan stomped her feet anxiously.

But a little bookboy came out of the study room inside. Seeing that it was the little bookboy next to Cai Xiang, Master Cai coughed lightly and straightened his face, "You have already disturbed your grandfather by yelling here. Back off quickly!"

He scolded his daughter with a stern face, Cai Yan showed aggrieved face, stomped her feet and refused to leave.

The little book boy stepped forward with a smile, "Master, you don't have to blame Jiu Niangzi, the Prime Minister said, let Jiu Niangzi go in and answer."

Cai Yan was immediately pleasantly surprised, and strode towards the study.

Master Cai frowned and coughed, seeing that his daughter didn't even turn his head, he couldn't help reminding: "My father is still here, what are you in a hurry for?"

Cai Yan stopped at the door of the study and urged: "Then daddy go first!"

When Master Cai entered the study room, she hastily followed in.

"Why is Yan'er making such a fuss outside?" Cai Xiang raised his head from the heavy book and looked at his granddaughter with no trace of joy or anger on his face.

"It's the children who don't teach their daughters well, and they are shameless in front of their father!" Master Cai bowed quickly and said.

Cai Xiang waved his hand, only looked at Cai Yan, "Speak."

"Grandpa, I heard that the Empress Dowager is about to give a marriage order to Prince Qi, referring to the eighteenth lady of the Yu family, who lives in the palace now!" Cai Yan said impatiently.

Master Cai stared, how could he bring such a trivial matter to his father?
Cai Xiang snorted and nodded slowly, as if he didn't take it to heart.

"Grandpa! It's true! A few days ago, the Empress Dowager held a banquet in the Imperial Garden, and when she was hosting a banquet for many young ladies from the aristocratic family who had not yet engaged in marriage, she especially praised the eighteenth lady of the Yu family!" Cai Yan said anxiously, "At that time, I was making preparations for pointing out the eighteenth lady of the Yu family to Prince Qi as the princess!"

"Don't follow other people's nonsense!" Master Cai taught his daughter a lesson.

"What nonsense! I saw it with my own eyes! Grandpa, the Yu clan and Prince Qi are at odds now. If Shibaniang Yu married into the palace and spoke all the good things about the Yu family every day, it would be difficult to protect Prince Qi. Don't be tempted, if King Qi is not as loyal to the Holy One as he is now, wouldn't the Holy One be completely emptied? When the Holy One grows up and can govern himself, can this authority be taken back?" Cai Yan recalled Shen Xinniang spoke very clearly.

Master Cai shook his head in disapproval, and said disdainfully: "It's just a little lady, how can it be so useful? If she is married to her husband, she will be a member of the Qi Palace when she marries into the Qi Palace! What a fuss! "

Cai Yan stared, "Why is father so careless?!"

Cai Xiang looked at his granddaughter with squinted eyes, and said slowly, "Who told you the news that the Empress Dowager is going to give you a marriage? Who taught you what you said just now?"

When Master Cai heard this, he frowned and looked at his father.

Cai Yan opened her mouth, but shook her head and said, "No one taught me how to speak..."

Cai Xiang's eyes fell on her, his eyes were deep, "Did no one teach you?"

Cai Yan nodded again and again, "Yes, it's all my own idea!"

"Father, children, always like to make a big fuss over trivial matters. It's just a little lady. If the Yu family points at her to win Prince Qi, they will think that Prince Qi is too naive. If the lady marries, it's nothing more than losing the wife and losing the army. Can the prince of Qi still listen to a little girl's order?" Master Cai was quite indifferent.

Cai Xiang looked at his son with squinted eyes and said, "A little lady, is she not afraid?"

Master Cai looked at his father's expression, but still nodded, "My son really thinks that there is nothing to be afraid of."

"Didn't you hear that Xia died with concubine joy, Yin died with Daji, and Zhou died with praise? Which one is not a worthless little lady? But what is the result?" Cai Xiang looked at his son and asked slowly .
