Chapter 369, Summoned
As soon as she returned to the mansion, the queen mother immediately came to the door, and Guan Xiuyan was also involved. Shi Fuxin was in a bad mood, and while she was changing clothes, Chu Yao came back.
"Why are you frowning?"
Shi Fuxin saw Chu Yao come in frowning, stepped forward, and smoothed his brows with her hand: "Don't frown in the future, you'll look like a little old man, not handsome at all."
Chu Yao held Shi Fuxin's hand, and looked at her solemnly: "The crown prince's kneecap is shattered, and Doctor Zhan can't heal it. The queen mother is very angry."
"It's not good for the queen mother to reprimand Miracle Doctor Zhan and call you into the palace, I'm afraid she will blame you."
Shi Fuxin looked at her tightly clenched hand: "I know, the Queen Mother is picking up soft persimmons."
Chu Yao shook his head: "Not only that, the queen mother was also very annoyed when you contradicted the queen and rejected the prince, she will definitely use this to teach you a lesson."
Shi Fuxin frowned: "Could it be possible that the Empress Dowager can still physically punish me for no reason?"
Seeing Chu Yao's solemn acquiescence, Shi Fuxin withdrew her hand, frowned and muttered.
Chu Yao looked at her: "The only one who can suppress the Empress Dowager is the Empress Dowager. Hurry up and ask someone to go to Anguo Gong's Mansion to inform your third sister, and ask her to come forward and ask the Empress Dowager to help you."
Shi Fuxin was not very positive about this: "The empress dowager is old and has long since stopped doing things. In order to leave a shadow for the Xiao family, she may not be willing to be hostile to the empress dowager."
"Besides, even if the empress dowager helped me this time, could it be possible that the empress dowager will come forward to help me twice or three times if she troubles me in the future?"
"We still have to find a way to solve the problem from the source. We have to find a way to completely solve the Queen Mother."
Chu Yao's eyelids twitched wildly: "Don't mess around."
Shi Fuxin found that Chu Yao became very nervous all of a sudden, and was very puzzled: "What's wrong with you?"
Chu Yao rolled his eyes in his heart.
What's up with him?
Can he say he was scared?
Thinking of Shi Liu's super strength to kill two supreme masters at the same time, he was really afraid that she couldn't hold back and killed the queen mother.
"Some people can't move around casually. For example, if you go to see the Queen Mother, it will be reported that something happened to the Queen Mother. Outsiders will definitely connect you with the Queen Mother's accident."
Shi Fuxin saw that Chu Yao was talking about this, and smiled: "My husband, I found out that you think highly of me, and think that I dare to do something in the palace!"
Chu Yao didn't want to talk. If he didn't know that Shiliu was Bai Yueguang, he would definitely not think so, but he had seen the scene where Bai Yueguang broke into Beiyan's palace alone and forcibly threatened the king of Beiyan not to move Ye Mo .
Shi Fuxin comforted: "Don't worry, I'm not a brainless person, so I won't do anything in the palace."
Speaking of this, Shi Fuxin looked at Chu Yao seriously: "Master, I found that you have seriously misunderstood me. I have never been a person who likes to fight and kill. You have known me for so long, but have you ever seen me?" Have you tried my hand?"
As he spoke, he nodded his head, "I always rely on my brain to solve problems, you know now, your worries just now are completely unnecessary."
Chu Yao looked at the serious Shi Fuxin, but didn't speak.
At this moment, the nurse next to Princess Guan came over and urged: "Third Madam, the palace servants next to the Empress Dowager are still waiting. The Princess wants you to clean up quickly."
Shi Fuxin gave a 'hmm', and looked at Chu Yao: "I will deal with the Queen Mother embarrassing me, but the Queen Mother always summons Cousin Guan, do you know what it means?"
Chu Yao immediately dodged his eyes and turned his body to one side, as if he didn't dare to face Shi Fuxin directly.
Shi Fuxin snorted immediately: "The empress dowager is really annoying. In order to show their authority, they always intimidate others by manipulating other women's lives. She may have forgotten that she is also a woman." .”
As he spoke, he walked up to Chu Yao and looked directly at him: "What do you mean?"
Chu Yao hurriedly said: "Of course I don't want to, but the concubine mother"
Shi Fuxin looked at him with distaste: "It's okay if you can't handle the Queen Mother, why can't you even handle the mother concubine? I used to think you were very powerful, but now I find more and more that you are just a paper tiger."
Chu Yao just wanted to defend himself, when Shi Fuxin asked, "What do you think about Cousin Guan?"
"What can I think?"
"Of course I have no mind!"
Chu Yao quickly expressed his attitude, and then hesitated to speak: "Cousin Guan is a poor person. I was excluded in the palace before, and she helped me a lot. I sincerely hope that she can have a good home."
"Actually, for the past two years, I have been secretly helping her find a suitable family, but after telling the concubine mother, the concubine mother often obstructs her a lot, and it is not good for me to directly intervene in the marriage of my cousin, so the matter has dragged on until now."
Shi Fuxin: "Do you know why you are at the bottom of the palace's food chain?"
Chu Yao froze for a moment.
Shi Fuxin said quietly: "Other people in the palace have ways to control the concubine mother, only you can't."
"As the main wife of the father, the concubine has been married into the palace for so many years, and has never touched the power of the head of the house. It can be seen that she has failed in life."
"You can't even take down the concubine who is restrained everywhere. You are not the weakest person in the palace, who is?"
"Other people in the palace control the concubine mother, and the concubine controls you. Although you are the most powerful person outside the palace, the people in the palace can still ride on your neck."
"This is why you have been so unsatisfactory these years!"
Chu Yao remained silent.
Shi Fuxin looked at him: "What if the Queen Mother really wants to tell you about Cousin Guan?"
Chu Yao walked around the room a little restlessly: "Since the queen mother summoned my cousin, I have vaguely guessed what the queen mother means. These days, I have been looking for officials with good conduct."
"I have two suitable candidates in my hand, but this is just my idea, and I don't know what my cousin thinks."
"Originally, I had planned to arrange for my cousin to meet them in these two days, but I didn't expect the Queen Mother to summon you in such a hurry."
Chu Yao looked at Shi Fuxin: "The Empress Dowager's meeting with you this time is probably because of the Prince's leg injury, and she probably won't mention the matter of my cousin."
"As long as we don't mention it this time, when you leave the palace, we will immediately arrange for my cousin to visit those two people. What do you think?"
After hearing this, Shi Fuxin nodded, "This is the only way to go now."
What should be said has been said, Shi Fuxin took An Ran and Xiao Fang to the main courtyard.
"Xiuyan has met her cousin."
"Cousin Guan is busy?"
Guan Xiuyan looked at Shi Fuxin, a little hesitant to speak.
Shi Fuxin only looked at her, and didn't ask any questions.
Guan Xiuyan waited for a while, seeing that Shi Fuxin did not speak, she could only take the initiative to say: "During the time my cousin was away, the Queen Mother summoned me twice. The Queen Mother's intention is very obvious, she wants me to be my cousin's concubine."
Shi Fuxin looked at her: "Then do you want to? Do you want to be a concubine?"
Guan Xiuyan was stunned for a moment. In her prediction, she thought that her cousin would be furious, that the queen mother would stretch her hand too far, and she would get angry with her and would scold her. She never expected that the first thing she would ask was whether she would like it or not!
Guan Xiuyan glanced at Shi Fuxin, concealed the complexities in her eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Is it important whether I am willing or not? After my parents died, I was an orphan girl who was dependent on others, a person who was completely out of control."
Shi Fuxin didn't like Guan Xiuyan's self-pitying tone very much, and frowned: "As long as you don't die, everyone has the opportunity to decide their own destiny. It depends on whether you have the courage to let it go."
"The queen mother is very honorable, but if you don't want to, you can always find a way to push it away."
Guan Xiuyan looked at Shi Fuxin: "My sister-in-law is the hero in the makeup campaign, but I don't have the ability of my sister-in-law. I can't do anything. I even rely on my aunt's pity for food and clothing."
Shi Fuxin didn't want to tell Guan Xiuyan about her tragic life experience here, but she still said patiently: "As long as you want, you can do many things."
"Like, you can ask for help."
"You were raised by your mother and concubine, and your mother and concubine must have feelings for you. Even your husband, some of them treat you as your own younger sister. Whether it's your concubine or your concubine, I think they are all willing to help you. "
Hearing this, Guan Xiuyan's eyes flickered for a moment, and then her complexion turned dark: "How can I cause trouble for my aunt and cousin."
Listening to Guan Xiuyan's vague words, Shi Fuxin looked at her deeply for a while, and didn't immediately say that Chu Yao had already selected a suitable candidate for him, but asked: "So, what do you want to tell me? What?"
Guan Xiuyan lowered her eyes and said: "The queen mother summoned my cousin this time, and I think she will bring up this matter. I came here to tell my cousin, don't argue with the queen mother."
Shi Fuxin looked at Guan Xiuyan, who was avoiding her gaze, and slowly raised the corners of her mouth: "Not to mention what the queen mother will say when she summons me, even if the queen mother has any ideas and requests, how should I respond, like cousin Guan It doesn't matter to you."
Guan Xiuyan said anxiously: "Cousin-in-law, I am really doing it for everyone's benefit, you have already offended the Queen and the Crown Prince, if you offend the Queen Mother again, it will not be a good thing for you, your cousin, or the palace. "
Hearing these words, Shi Fuxin completely annoyed Guan Xiuyan: "I thank you for your kindness, but I ask myself that I haven't done anything for you, so please take back your kindness, I can't bear it."
Guan Xiuyan noticed the change in Shi Fuxin's attitude: "Cousin, believe it or not, I never thought of competing with you for my cousin. I was raised by my aunt, and I really hope to share the burden for her and my cousin. Some."
"I know my sister-in-law is a powerful person, but the crown prince is the heir apparent, and the Wei family is very powerful. My cousin has to deal with so many backstabbing and serious injuries all by himself. I think we should make less trouble for him."
Shi Fuxin laughed directly: "You said it all, that's what you think."
"Cousin girl!"
Shi Fuxin suddenly increased her voice: "Let me also tell you what I think, I think, everyone should take care of their own affairs, and don't always worry about other people's affairs."
"Not to mention whether you have the ability to worry about other people's affairs, just say that you think about others all day long, and put on a good look for others. Apart from touching yourself, not only can you not solve any practical problems, but you may even make the situation worse. complication."
"Let me be honest, this appearance is actually quite ugly."
Guan Xiuyan's expression paused, and then a look of shame and indignation appeared on her face: "Biao sister-in-law thinks I have ulterior motives?"
Shi Fuxin shook her head: "I'm afraid you don't even know that you have ulterior motives." She chuckled, "Look how righteous you are speaking now."
"Don't you know that you have caused trouble for others?"
Guan Xiuyan shook her head in disbelief: "I don't."
Shi Fuxin was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Cousin Guan, do you know why Xianggong has been unable to get married before?"
Guan Xiuyan looked at Shi Fuxin in confusion, not understanding why she suddenly asked this.
Shi Fuxin smiled lightly: "Leaving aside the factors of the husband, one of the reasons is that the husband has a cousin who has grown up by his side. This alone makes many girls from good families stay away."
Guan Xiuyan's complexion changed: "What does cousin-in-law mean?"
Shi Fuxin looked indifferent: "What I mean is, Cousin Guan, you have crossed the line. You may have no bad intentions, but what you do has a bad influence on people."
Guan Xiuyan's expression changed a little: "Cousin-in-law, I really want to get along with you."
The meaning of these words is a little unclear, Shi Fuxin smiled and said: "I think so too, and I also do the same. As for you, Cousin Guan, I heard your thoughts today, and it depends on what you will do in the future."
“I am a particular person, and what I care about is what a person does, not what she says.”
Guan Xiuyan stopped talking.
Shi Fuxin didn't want to talk to her about anything else, so she said directly: "Before going out, my husband came back from the Supervision Department and gave some instructions. He told me that he has already looked after two suitable officials' children for you. After the Empress Dowager comes out of the palace, I will arrange for you to see her."
"As long as you are engaged, can the queen mother still force you to be a petty?"
Guan Xiuyan was stunned: "Cousin, is he really looking after me secretly?"
Shi Fuxin smiled and said: "Msanggong is not a person who bothers to tell lies."
At this moment, people from Guan Wangfei's courtyard came over again, Shi Fuxin glanced at Guan Xiuyan who was thinking about something with her head down, and went to the main courtyard first.
Watching Shi Fuxin enter the main courtyard, Guan Xiuyan didn't immediately follow, but stood outside the courtyard with a frown, her expression somewhat struggling and dazed.
Huier looked at her worriedly: "Girl, are you alright?"
Guan Xiuyan smiled wryly and said, "My cousin is secretly helping me find candidates. He doesn't have me at all in his heart."
Hui'er moved her lips, wanting to say, the third master has a girl in his heart, but it's not like the girl thinks.
"Girl, since the third master has already made arrangements for you, we don't have to worry about the queen mother. Anyway, the queen mother called today, and the third lady is at the front. The left and right have nothing to do with you."
Guan Xiuyan didn't speak. On the one hand, she also has her own dignity and doesn't want to be a concubine; on the other hand, she can't let go of Chu Yao.
Two streams of thoughts intertwined, disturbing her.
"Girl, the princess and the third lady have come out."
The old concubine was in the same generation as the empress dowager. This time the queen dowager did not call her the old concubine. Concubine Guan brought Shi Fuxin and Guan Xiuyan into the palace.
