Chapter 233 (1/2)
”What, the third prince proposed? How did he suddenly have this idea? ” Xiaojing was surprised.
Xia Chunyu said with a cold smile: ”what's so strange about this? The third prince is of the right age and is still unmarried. Princess Aran's appearance is needless to say. She is also a princess of Nanyue. To marry her is tantamount to having the support of Nanyue. Xu had guessed the emperor's original intention and didn't dare to mention it before. Now that the envoys of Nanyue have left, and Arun's marriage has not been decided yet, people who have a heart are naturally reluctant to miss such an opportunity. ”
”But the most important thing is, the attitude of the Empress Dowager and the queen, why do they all strongly approve of it? Don't they know that once the third prince marries ah Ruan, they will have one more chip in their hands? ”
”Yes, so I can't think of it!” Xiao Jing has been in the military department for a long time now, and the power disputes in the imperial court are mysterious. The third prince is very sharp and has the potential to be the successor. His mother's concubine Shu is steady and steady. She seems to be at peace with the world. She is really hidden. She has been promoted from a concubine to a concubine step by step. If there is no pastry machine, how can he do it. The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager did not stop them. Instead, they agreed and allowed them to sit on the throne, which was disadvantageous to the crown prince. I really don't understand what they think.
Xia Chunyu said with a light smile: ”the queen and the Empress Dowager naturally stand in the position of the crown prince, but they can't object to it. They have to approve of it. They are selfless and open-minded. They are generous and reasonable in front of the emperor, but they don't offend the third Prince and Shu Guifei. They sing white faces, but ask one person to sing red faces.”
Xiao Jing was dizzy and lost: ”who will sing red face?”
Xia Chunyu continued: ”the emperor has entrusted you with the task of entertaining Princess aruan. It is true that he has the intention of setting you up with Aran. However, the name of the third prince is right, and the emperor is not easy to refuse. When the chess game reaches this stage, the key chess pieces will fall in your Helian palace.”
Xiao Jing was shocked.
”Only you, King Helian's mansion, to be exact, your mother will come forward. As long as she says in front of the emperor that you and aruan have long been in love with each other, the emperor will not be embarrassed. Xiaojing, do you really want to see aruan become a pawn in the power dispute between the two Koreas? Are you not afraid of the unhappiness of Arun's marriage to the third prince? ” Xia Chunyu's eyes are clear and pressing.
”The third prince may really like ah Ruan!”
Xia Chun lowered his eyebrows and grinned, which meant a little mockery: ”do you really like it? Xiaojing, you are not from other places. Jinling City is so big, and the imperial palace is so big. What can you hide from everyone? You don't have no idea who the third prince meant to belong to. ”
Xiao Jing's face turned pale. Yes, he knew that if there was no aruan, the third prince would marry his niece, Lin Wanyin, the third prince's cousin. It is said that they have already agreed.
Xia Chunyu sighed and said: ”now, even if you don't want to, you and the Helian palace must stand out. You and aruan's marriage is unavoidable, but I really don't hope that you have a little bit of reluctance to this marriage. Aruan is a good girl, worthy of cherishing and owning. I wanted to wait for you to figure it out slowly, but some people can't wait.”
Looking at Xiao Jing's stupefied, Xia Chunyu said: ”you go ahead and comfort yourself. Ah Ruan now places all his hopes on you. Even if you can't answer now, you can also say something else to comfort him. Then, go back to ask your mother and see what I said is right.”
This can only be said, and Xiaojing has no second choice. Whether the crown prince's position is stable or not has little to do with Jingan Marquis's house, but it involves a lot in the prince's residence. He knows very well that Princess yidechang and heliangxuan are both supporters of the crown prince, and they will never let it go and stand idly by.
Even if Arun is more unbearable than the original glass, Xiaojing has no other way but to accept it.
The rest is left to Xiaojing. Xia Chunyu and ye Jiayao stand beside a Canna in the courtyard.
After listening to Xia Chunyu's analysis, ye Jiayao is not worried. Ruan is so good that Xiaojing will understand one day. Now she is worried about another thing.
Ah Ruan first sent people to Jing'an Houfu to find them, and then he knew that they had gone to the village. Then, the Duke's house of Jing'an naturally knew that they were back. But she doesn't want to go back yet. What to do?
”Chunyu Can I stay here for a few days? ”
Xia Chunyu chuckled: ”they are all in the city. You can't trust ah Ruan. You want to accompany her. You don't have to live here when you come in the daytime. If the third prince knows that you have been with aruan these days, then the marriage will change, don't you blame me? It's better to avoid the suspicion
Ye Jiayao is speechless. Chunyu's words are reasonable. The position of Jingan Houfu is impartial. He is only loyal to the man sitting on the Dragon chair. He does not want to be involved in the dispute of seizing the throne. It's nothing for her to be friends with aruan. It's hard to avoid suspicion if she is really here to accompany him.
After a while, Xiao Jing came out and said, ”I'll go back to my house first, and I'll get back to you later.”
After that, he bowed his hands and left first.
Ye Jiayao went in and talked to aruan for a while. Seeing that aruan's face was much more relaxed, ye Jiayao put down his heart and went back to Jingan Houfu with Chunyu.
As soon as he went back to the mansion, Xia Chunyu went to his study to find his father. Ye Jiayao went to ask you an, so he went back to his room to have a rest.Qiao Xi asked Xiangtao to stay outside and come in to reply.
”Second young lady, there is something wrong with the third room. The maid inquired in private. Now only Xiaoya and Li Yuyi go in and out of the courtyard, and the rest of the servants have to get permission to enter the courtyard. In the past, the entrance and exit of the palace people brought by the third young grandmother were not as tight as before. In name, it is not allowed to disturb the sanshao granny's recuperation. ”
Ye Jiayao looked at the orchid hanging on the windowsill and asked leisurely, ”is that all?”
