The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 232
What trouble can she have?Besides, this "difficulty" also originated from the Beijing Palace?Not to mention that Xing Xiuyan has long been wary of water dissolution, and furthermore, there is no disagreement between the two, and there is even a cooperation of interests. From any perspective, the Beijing Palace has no reason to stab itself in the back.

Fangguan saw that Xiuyan didn't trust him, so he hurriedly said: "Miss, don't believe me, this is what I heard with my own ears, and there is no mistake. My lord." The girl was accepted as a side concubine. The old concubine refused to agree at first, but she couldn't help the prince's soft-spokenness, so she nodded and accepted the matter."

Shui Rong married the main concubine at a young age. According to the rules of the court, this county king with a different surname can marry a side concubine, whose rank is only higher than the main concubine.The concubine's heir is different from the bastard of ordinary families. Although he cannot inherit his father's title, he will never be treated as a real bastard when he goes to a wealthy family.

Although King Beijing has been married for many years and has no children, he has never married a concubine. Instead, he has many concubines at home.

Suddenly hearing what Fangguan said, how could Xiuyan not show anger suddenly: "You are telling the truth? If I see what tricks you are using to sow discord, don't blame me"

Fangguan recalled the sufferings she had suffered in the cold winter months, and the horrible nightmare swept her heart again, she hurriedly said: "Girl, just go and investigate, if you find out that I'm lying, you can cut me alive, I don't have anything to say." Say."

This oath could not be said to be innocuous, but seeing Fangguan's serious face and seriousness in his eyes, Xiuyan gradually agreed with this statement.Thinking of the look in the eyes of King Bei Jing when he saw her several times, Xing Xiuyan couldn't help but tremble all over.She signaled Fang Guan to continue to tell the news she heard, so that she could analyze it carefully.

"The old concubine refused life and death at first, saying that although the girl is the daughter of a fourth-rank official, the Xing family is extraordinary. Calling you a side concubine is like going against the fifth prince immediately." Fang Guan said in a deep voice: "Old lady The concubine also said that unless the concubine is gone, I will give up the position to you, but if the prince dares to move this idea, the old concubine will sever the mother-child relationship with him. I didn't listen carefully to the rest, I only know that the prince must find a way to call Mr. Xing obeyed, telling the girl that you have to marry yourself to the palace."

Xiuyan didn't move for a while, Fang Guan looked at her timidly: "Young lady told me to keep an eye on the prince all the time, I think this matter is very important to the young lady, and I can't worry about it, so I called the little maid to invite the young lady to come here to discuss .”

Xiuyan forced a smile: "Good officer Fang, I knew that I was right. Not only did this matter go well, but it almost saved the lives of our family. Now you are the prince's favorite concubine, and now you are the prince's concubine. You are the concubine's confidant, I don't dare to expect you to turn against your master, but I also hope to help me because of past affection."

She held Fang Guan slowly with her hand. The other party didn't know whether it was because of timidity or fear, but he was trembling slightly, his fingertips were cold, like dead branches in the cold winter.

Xiuyan stared at Fangguan closely: "You have to know one thing, if I'm really 'unfortunate' to enter this Beijing Palace to be a junior, the first ones I won't let go will naturally be the confidantes around the princess, and the second is They are the concubines of King Bei Jing in the past. One mountain cannot contain two tigers, Aunt Fang may wish to think about it, after all, helping me is more beneficial to you than helping the prince."

Fangguan didn't understand this truth, because she had seen Xing Xiuyan's methods before, so she was willing to take the risk to inform the other party.

Besides, when Xiuyan got the news, not only did she not become restless and depressed, but she was refreshed after leaving the hospital, as if she had found some fun game.All the way back to the main hall, it happened that the nurse of the young scholar came out to meet the guests with the young gentleman in her arms.

Outside the crowd, Xiuyan saw the distraught Princess Beijing, she felt curious, and then looked into the crowd, she saw that it was the old concubine holding her grandson, sitting upright with a smile on her seat and letting everyone say auspicious words.

The lady of Liu Guogong's family, Liu Caiyan, quietly stood beside Xing Xiuyan, and said with a low smile, "I heard that the little prince was taken to her yard by the old concubine to support him as soon as he was born. I can’t see my son a few times.”

Liu Caiwei is Liu Caiwei's elder sister, who was the most popular empress candidate in Liu Guogong's mansion, but who would have thought that her ugly younger sister, Liu Caiwei, would take the position.After meeting once, Xiuyan has established a good friendship with this Liu Caishen.

Xiuyan chuckled: "The old concubine has been thinking about her grandson for several years, so there is nothing wrong with doing this."

Liu Caifeng pursed her lips and sneered: "Haven't you heard? Although Princess Beijing gave birth to a small son, the delivery room was really dangerous at that time. If it weren't for a few experienced midwives, I don't know what will happen. The imperial doctor also quietly I told the old concubine that it will be difficult for Princess Beijing to conceive a child in the future. If the old concubine is doing this now, it will be difficult for the princess to be heartbroken."

Xiuyan sighed in her heart, does Princess Beijing know about her husband's nasty things?Only then did he make great contributions to the royal family and gave birth to an heir, but the husband turned his back and thought about how to forcefully marry a civilian girl.

And what's even more tragic is that the son who risked his life to give birth could only watch from a distance.

Princess Bei Jing didn't know that she had become someone else's prey. When she was staring in the direction of her son, her eyes inevitably showed dissatisfaction and resentment towards her mother-in-law.

Princess Bei Jing is not an idiot, even Fang Guan can know the "secret", can it be kept from her?Thinking of what her mother-in-law and her husband have done successively, Princess Bei Jing's heart is burning with resentment.

"The princess just gave birth, so why didn't she sit down and rest?" Xiuyan came to Princess Beijing's side at some point, her tone was soft and graceful, like a pure, kind and unscheming child.Princess Beijing resisted the thought of throwing away Xing Xiuyan's arm, and said with a smirk: "I'm busy with many things, and I didn't have time to say a word to Miss Xing, so I met your brother Jiafu. I'm really envious, and our little son is also blessed." My brother is so strong, I am satisfied."

"You can tell that the princess is a loving mother at a glance, but the newborn child is the most reserved, and the child can only be strong if the mother is by her side to take care of it. I see why the little prince is not close to the princess?"

This statement is simply untenable. Who can a one-month-old child know?But it didn't mean that to Princess Beijing's ears at all!
Xing Xiuyan was mocking herself for not being worthy of being a mother!
Princess Beijing was about to look at each other angrily, so Xing Xiuyan lowered her voice and said, "Princess should also think about her own future. Could it be that the old concubine is willing to be on your head for the rest of her life? I took your child away today, tomorrow I'm afraid you will have to give up the title of princess!"

Princess Beijing didn't completely lose her mind. When she heard what Xing Xiuyan said, she hurriedly distanced herself from the other party and asked vigilantly, "What do you know?"

"The news about the folk daughter is beyond the expectation of the princess!" Xiuyan is not trying to steal the limelight from Princess Beijing, so she only dresses better, but she is born well, showing her beauty with every frown and smile .

On the other hand, Princess Bei Jing became depressed after giving birth. Even though she had applied a thick layer of rouge on her face, it couldn't cover up her old and exhausted appearance.The haggard state of mind made Princess Bei Jing always have the harbinger of collapse.

She involuntarily stroked her cheek with her hand, then turned her head, as if unwilling to face Xing Xiuyan.

"Don't worry about the princess. I can help the princess once, and I can help the princess a second time. The two of us benefit from each other. Don't take advantage of the other, and don't think about throwing stones at the other."

If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Princess Bei Jing would definitely keep asking questions.Knowing that Xing Xiuyan is not a good partner for joining forces, Princess Bei Jing, who has long regarded a dead horse as a living horse doctor, doesn't care about that, and immediately agrees with her.

Two days after returning from the Beijing Palace, Xing Zhong suddenly received a case from Shangfeng, asking him to re-investigate an old case from two years ago.Xing Zhong didn't pay attention at first, but when he took the dossier home and examined it carefully, he discovered that the main culprit in this old case was the eldest prince's nanny brother.

Back then, that man was fighting with others for the land property, and when he missed it, he beat the eldest son of the other party's family to death on the ridge of the field.The other party, An Neng, gave up and vowed to go to Dali Temple to file a complaint.However, with just one word from the eldest prince, he gently let the former go. Not only did he let go, the eldest prince also threatened the governor of Shuntian Prefecture to hand over the family's property to his nanny brother.

Seeing her father's frowning look, Xiuyan asked: "Could it be that the eldest prince put pressure on father?"

The eldest prince has a violent temperament, and if something goes wrong, he will severely punish those who are his enemies.Although the eldest prince was savage and stupid, he was still somewhat clever. The people who had made enemies with him were all dispensable people. Those important officials who were truly trusted by Xiaozong, the eldest prince would not dare to provoke easily.

The Xing family has long been regarded as a party of the five princes, and Xing Zhong's official position is not high. The eldest prince is worried that he has no reason to trouble them. Now that an excuse is delivered to his door, how can the eldest prince ignore it?

Xiuyan held the thick file, looking at the small print on it, thinking.

Although the Ministry of Criminal Justice will try old cases, but the number is very small, and most people will avoid such thankless errands.Overturning the case is tantamount to denying the past rulings of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It is okay to overturn your own case. If the overturn is Shangfeng's case, the chief officer will have trouble explaining it.

Xing Zhong's popularity in the Yamen has always been good, and everyone is a little more flattering to him in the face of the Fifth Prince.Pushing him out now would mean making the Fifth Prince and the First Prince forge a death feud.

Zhengde is young, and the eldest prince is old, and in terms of their respective foundations in the court, the latter is also superior.

Once the Xing family becomes the fuse of this matter, the outcome can be imagined.

Xiuyan looked at her father: "There's something wrong with this case, it's better for Dad to push it away."

Xing Zhong looked at his daughter helplessly: "I can't push it away. It was an order from Cheng Shangshu himself."

"This is even more inexplicable. If Cheng Shangshu wants to deal with the eldest prince, he won't use you as a temptation, unless"

Xing Zhong felt that his daughter seemed to have noticed something, and quickly asked, "Unless what?"

Xiuyan shook her head, trying to put her absurd thoughts behind her, "Perhaps I was wrong, Cheng Shangshu shouldn't join forces with the First Prince, right?"
