Sir, I can do it!

Wei Zhao took the sword that Cao Ying asked him to hand over to Wei Shuhua, then looked at Cao Ying with disdain, and waved three fingers in front of his eyes: "It's been three years, and you still haven't put it on?" My second sister took it, and I asked Cao Ying, can you do it?"

Cao Ying blushed and said in a muffled voice, "I don't want to force Second Miss."

Wei Zhao rolled his eyes towards the sky, and punched Cao Ying: "Men, when it's time to take the initiative, you must seize the opportunity."

After speaking, he got into the carriage with his sword in his hand and went to the Meiyuan in the east of the city to listen to the opera.It doesn't matter how resentful and helpless Cao Ying is behind him.

Wei Zhao went straight to the private room after entering Meiyuan, and heard Han Chongliang yelling from a long distance away.

Wei Zhao stepped forward quickly, raised the curtain, and saw Han Chongliang urging Lu Chengyi to drink.He smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

Feng Yu nodded slightly at him, but Han Chongliang yelled: "Ah Zhao, come here quickly, you know, Cheng Yi is going to have a son!"

Wei Zhao raised his eyebrows: "Sure, Cheng Yi, I'm going to be a father without saying a word."

Lu Chengyi twitched the corner of his mouth: "It's not a big deal, don't listen to Ah Liang's nonsense."

Wei Zhao dropped his sword, Han Chongliang looked over sharply, and immediately jumped up, Feng Yu who was on the side was startled and almost choked on the dim sum.

"Red silk sword! Where did you get it, Zhao!"

Wei Zhao took a sip of the fruit wine and said indifferently, "Second Sister's friend asked me to give it to her."

Han Chongliang stretched out his hand to touch it, praised him a lot, and finally approached Wei Zhao, and said with a smile: "When did the second lady make such a good friend, and introduce him to me too."

Lu Chengyi couldn't help pricking up his ears, but his heart couldn't stop the sour water coming out.He got married last spring because he couldn't bear the pressure from his family.Although he knew that he already had a wife and was thinking about other women, it was not the fault of a man, but Lu Chengyi couldn't help but want to pay attention to Wei Shuhua's life.

Wei Zhao pushed Han Chongliang, and said, "You can save yourself, and don't look at yourself in the mirror. Are you as beautiful as my second sister? Are you as heroic as my second sister?"

Han Chongliang immediately realized: "Okay, this is for the second lady. Then you have to introduce me, at least you can check for the second lady."

Wei Zhao glared at him: "I haven't written my horoscope yet, let's talk about it when it's done."

Lu Chengyi lowered his eyes a little sadly, and drank the full glass of wine that Han Chongliang poured for him just now.

Wei Zhao took a peek at him, saw that he was about to cry, and didn't say anything to irritate him.

Lu Chengyi liked his second sister, Wei Zhao was aware of it.It's just that the two families really don't deserve each other. Let alone Lu Chengqian's death, it's about Lu Zhan. Although Lu Ding didn't show it on the surface, he was afraid that he would hate the Wei family to death.It's good if the two families don't become enemies, how can they get married!

Fortunately, his second sister didn't seem to have that kind of thought for Lu Chengyi, so Wei Zhao was relieved, otherwise he would be very worried.Now Lu Chengyi also has a family, as long as he stops thinking about it.After all, it is difficult for him to be in the middle with a sister on one side and a friend on the other.

Wei Zhao didn't continue this topic anymore, and asked Feng Yu instead: "I heard that the emperor wants to transfer you to the Ministry of Household Affairs, has the appointment come down?"

Feng Yu nodded: "Tomorrow, I will report to the Ministry of Household Affairs." After finishing speaking, he sighed again, and said, "I heard that the emperor will use troops against Weinan again, so I will be very busy at the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Speaking of this, Han Chongliang was even more depressed: "You are so kind, and you have found a real one up to now. Unlike me, I have been a nominal captain for so many years. I heard from my colleagues in the army that the emperor plans to appoint Cui Feng is the chief general, and Cheng Shixun is the right deputy general. It’s just that the adults in the court have some criticisms, and it hasn’t been fully settled yet. But depending on what the emperor wants, Cui Feng still has a great chance.”

Li Huai played it well.Although the Xie family and the Xiao family are dormant right now, if the Cui family greatly threatens the interests of the two families, the Xie and Xiao families will definitely join hands to deal with the Cui family.The three parties pursue profit, and Li Huai sits on the mountain and watches the tiger.

Feng Yu thought for a while and said, "I just heard the news from the palace that it was Concubine Zheng's miscarriage, which seems to be related to Beauty Xiao. The empress and my sister have let go of this matter, and Concubine Cui is currently handling the matter."

The queen has been in poor health since she gave birth to the sixth prince, and this is no secret in the former court and the harem.Temporarily claiming to be sick and ignoring the affairs of the harem, no one will criticize.Moreover, the Cui and Xiao families were involved in this matter. Now that Zhenguohou and his son are still guarding Shuobei, it is really not easy for the empress to intervene in this matter.

As for Concubine Feng, despite being favored by the emperor, the Feng family has been secretly courting power over the past few years.But in the eyes of the nobles, they really looked down on the Feng family's family background.Concubine Feng has no confidence, and she has a rift with Concubine Zheng, so of course it is not convenient to intervene.

Then there is only one Concubine Cui left.Li Huai reused the Cui family, and Concubine Cui was promoted from a beauty to a noble concubine in just three years, which is a testament to the emperor's favor.

From the perspective of the harem, this matter is nothing, at most Xiao Meiren will be reprimanded and then restrained.As for the punishment, Xiao Meiren has been a beauty for so many years, and she has already made people see a lot of jokes.If the position is lowered again, wouldn't it be a blatant slap in the face of the Xiao family.

It's just that this happened at the very moment when the emperor appointed Cui Feng as the general, so people had to think about it.

Wei Zhaodao: "This matter can be big or small. The Zheng family has become more and more prestigious in the past few years. If Concubine Zheng refuses to let go, Beauty Xiao will lose a piece of flesh. If Beauty Xiao has no children, it's okay to say, the Xiao family will at most regard her as a Abandoned son. But the second prince, Li Yun, is twelve or thirteen years old, and because of Miss Xiao, Li Yun is already a head shorter than the other brothers. The Xiao family will not sit idly by anyway."

"The Cui family is very powerful now. Cui Hao has been in the Wei family's barracks as a supervising army, but he does not hold real power. Although he occasionally makes small moves, it is not harmful to the Wei family army. But this time Cui Feng is a general. The reason is different. The Xie family and the Xiao family will not want to see the Cui family get involved in military power."

Feng Yu nodded, and said: "The Xie and Xiao families are the ones who oppose the most in the court. It seems that although the two families have formed an alliance for the time being, once their interests are involved, each family will clean up their own affairs. The Xiao family must To save Beauty Xiao, there is only one condition for Concubine Cui Gui and Concubine Zheng to let go of their mouths. The Xiao family agrees with Cui Feng as a general."

Han Chongliang scratched his head: "Isn't this drinking poison to quench thirst? I don't need to say how important military power is. It is to keep Xiao Meiren and the second prince temporarily. Once the Cui family has military power, it will only become more unstoppable."

Feng Yu explained: "It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. The Xiao family can rely on the Xie family, and naturally they can turn against the Cui family." He stroked the cup with his fingers, and pointed out: "Concubine Xie also has a three-year-old concubine. What about the prince, but Concubine Cui has no heirs so far."

Han Chongliang understood instantly: "The Xiao family's plans are not small."

On the contrary, Wei Zhao smiled sarcastically: "Li Huai's tactic has never been successful. On the surface, he promoted the Cui family, but in fact he did not allow Concubine Cui to conceive. As long as Concubine Cui has no children, the Cui family will be powerful. There’s nowhere to work.”

It's good that Wei Zhao didn't speak, but when he opened his mouth, Han Chongliang's eyes widened instantly, he slapped the table and said, "The queen of the palace and the prince from the first line, in terms of military power, who can compare to Zhen Guohou's mansion! These few of them are really happy."

Wei Zhao glared at him faintly: "It's not easy for you to remember that I have a little nephew."

Han Chongliang rolled his eyes with guilt, who made Zhonggong so quiet these past few years.Zhen Guohou is far away in Shuobei, he didn't think about it for a while.

Feng Yu also looked at Han Chongliang without a word, and said, "My nephew is still the eldest son of the emperor, and the Feng family is following suit."

Lu Chengyi came back to his senses at this moment, glanced at Han Chongliang, and said slowly: "Before Zhonggong was childless, my father also wrote a letter to make the eldest son of the emperor as the heir apparent."

Han Chongliang: ... accidentally offended the public.

Han Chongliang patted his mouth and laughed dryly: "It's all my fault, I'll punish myself with a drink."

That's what he said, but a few people didn't really blame him.It's not a day or two since the political opinions of several families have been different. What they said together has never been heard outside this private room.

But as the situation in the court changed, and as the few people gradually stabilized their positions in the court, they also more or less understood in their hearts that the current peace was hard-won.Sooner or later, they will stand on opposite sides.

Not surprisingly, as soon as Concubine Cui took over the matter of Concubine Zheng's miscarriage, she quickly interrogated the palace attendants.Although Beauty Xiao didn't do anything to Concubine Zheng, she was very disrespectful to Concubine Zheng in words.Afterwards, a witch doll full of needles was found in Xiao Meiren's Palace, and the name of Concubine Zheng was written on the back.

Cursing the emperor's heir like this is really vicious.

Concubine Xie quickly twisted the prayer beads in her hand, her face was gloomy.

Mother Xie whispered: "I'm afraid that Beauty Xiao has fallen into a trap for this matter. Not to mention that Concubine Zheng used to live in seclusion and rarely deal with us. Let's talk about meeting in the Royal Garden. Beauty Xiao has no time to hide from her, so how could she catch up with her?" To sting her. Saying that Concubine Zheng mocked Miss Xiao is more or less the same."

Concubine Xie snorted coldly: "Beauty Xiao is impulsive. She has been quite honest in the past few years, but there is always a breath of anger in her heart that has no place to vent it. Concubine Zheng is acting weird in front of her. It's only strange if she can bear it." Palace people are used to worshiping the high and stepping down the low, but it's just a matter of saying a few words, which can turn black and white, and can sell Zheng Fei a good one."

Concubine Xie closed her eyes tiredly, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that after this incident, the Xiao family will join the Cui family."

Xie Momo said: "If I check to see if Concubine Zheng has been in contact with other things before? The witchcraft doll is said to be vicious, but if it is really possible to make Concubine Zheng a miscarriage by cursing, then each palace will have a witchcraft doll. Isn’t it going to be extinct.”

Concubine Xie gave her a sidelong glance: "Shut up. You can't talk nonsense about this."

Mammy Xie bowed her body: "This old servant is talking too much."

Concubine Xie Guifei said: "Of course what you said is reasonable, but some people don't want to be reasonable. As long as the result is what he wants, why should he care about the process."

She rubbed between her brows and sighed: "Tell father to make plans early, my Xie family is not made of mud, anyone can come up and step on it."
