Chapter 398, It’s easier to please God than to send God away
"What, I will also go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony with you on the first day of the new year to attend the court celebration?"
On the twenty-third year of the twelfth lunar month, after Chu Yao came back from the palace, he notified Shi Fuxin that he was going to attend the pilgrimage on the first day of the new year.
Shi Fuxin was very surprised: "What's going on?"
Chu Yao's complexion was not very good: "When I went to the court today, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials suddenly suggested that the top ten imperial merchants donated so much silver to the court, and they should participate in the worship and celebration."
As he spoke, he looked at Shi Fuxin, "The servant of the official department belongs to the prince."
Shi Fuxin: "Are all the top ten imperial merchants participating?"
Chu Yao said 'hmm': "The prince never does useless things, he must have other calculations here. Since the battle between me and Dongjian, the hostility between us and the prince has been put on the table. "
"The Empress Dowager's affairs have too much to do with it. Regardless of whether I have found anything, for the Crown Prince, he will only feel at ease if I shut up completely. I am afraid that he will take a risk and do something crazy."
"So, you must be careful that day."
Shi Fuxin nodded: "Don't worry, I will be careful."
Time flies to the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. According to the custom, on this day, every family has to go to the grave to ask the ancestors to make a big offering.
Early in the morning, the masters of Prince Rong's Mansion, led by Old Prince Rong and Old Princess Rong, boarded a carriage and went to the Clan Mansion.
While going out, Shi Fuxin saw Princess Guan taking Guan Xiuyan along, a coolness flashed across her eyes, and she saw the mocking expressions of Luo Qilan and Tang Shan, and got into the carriage expressionlessly.
Chu Yao's behavior towards Princess Guan was both annoyed and a headache.
He knew that Concubine Mu had always wanted an obedient daughter-in-law, but Shi Liu's temperament was exactly the opposite of her request; and for Shi Liu, Concubine Mu was not someone who could make her respect her elders.
Shi Liu has a strong temper, mother and concubine are not opponents, but she occupies the identity of a mother-in-law, even if she can't control Shi Liu on the surface, she can find various opportunities and methods to embarrass Shi Liu secretly, Cousin Guan is the most suitable Candidates.
"Third brother, the relationship between the princess and the third sibling is so alienated, you don't even talk about trying to persuade them to make peace."
Chu Zhao gloated at Chu Yao.
Chu Yao squinted at him: "Second brother is getting more and more promising now, even getting involved in women's affairs, oh, I forgot, besides women's affairs, second brother seems to have nothing else to do gone."
After speaking, he smiled ironically and rode away.
Chu Zhao was hit by Chu Yao's words, and looked at Chu Yao's back with a sullen expression.
Chu Yao rode a horse and walked at the front of the palace team, and his complexion was not good.
Does he not want to reconcile the relationship between Concubine Mu and Shiliu?
Of course he would.
But, he can't do it! !
Whether it is the concubine mother or Shi Liu, they care far less about him than they do about themselves.
For the mother and concubine, the most important thing is to choose the daughter-in-law and show off the mother-in-law's spectrum. As for the happiness of his son, it is not her consideration;
For Shi Liu, it is impossible to bow to the unreasonable mother-in-law who wants to suppress her everywhere. His feelings as a husband must come after hers.
Mufei and Shiliu, even if one of them really cared about themselves, they would make a little compromise for him, but neither of them did.
Chu Yao sneered, a little weak and sad.
One was his mother and the other was his wife. The two most important women to him didn't really care about him.
In the carriage at the back, An Ran complained to Shi Fuxin in a low voice: "What is the princess doing, bringing a concubine with her, isn't this your Madam's face?"
Shi Fuxin sneered: "With such a mother, Chu Yao is quite pitiful."
Nurse Leng hesitated to speak, she moved her lips and finally swallowed the words in her mouth.
Shi Fuxin saw it, and said with a smile, "If you have something to say, you can say it."
Nurse Leng: "The third master will be very happy if Madam can follow the concubine a little bit."
Shi Fuxin immediately said: "I've already followed the wangfei's way. Every time I pay my respects, she always makes it difficult for her. Didn't I not bother with her?"
Nurse Leng deliberated for a while and said, "On an occasion like today, if you compete with the concubine, the third master will be very embarrassed."
Shi Fuxin snorted and said: "Then what do you want me to do? It is the princess who is looking for trouble, not me! I can't force her to do or not to do."
Nurse Leng looked at the furious Shi Fuxin, and said again: "Privately, Madam has done a good job of caring and understanding for the Third Master; but Madam can't ignore her support for the Third Master when she was outside."
After hearing this, Shi Fuxin said irritably: "I still overestimate myself. Before marrying Chu Yao, I thought I could handle the relationship with everyone in the palace. After I got married, I realized that it was not so easy to do."
Although she had to pay for her own choice, Shi Fuxin couldn't help it, and complained: "How can I have such a mother-in-law, it's so annoying."
Nurse Leng and An Ran looked at each other, and they both smiled silently.
After arriving at the clan mansion, Shi Fuxin followed the steps of the family members of Prince Rong's mansion, doing whatever she was asked to do.
After the ancestors are invited to offer offerings, the men will gather together to talk, and the female relatives will also sit together and talk about family affairs.
Shi Fuxin didn't like such occasions very much, so she wandered around the yard alone.
Among the family members and female relatives, Shi Fuxin was familiar with Xiahou Huanyan, but today Xiahou Huanyan was detained by Princess Gong, and greeted some elders one by one, so Shi Fuxin could only go shopping alone.
After shopping around for less than a quarter of an hour, Guan Xiuyan came to her.
"Cousin-in-law, my concubine asked me to call you over, saying that I want to take you to meet someone."
Shi Fuxin looked at Guan Xiuyan in surprise: "Why did my concubine ask you to come and find me?"
Guan Xiuyan: "I'm free and fine."
Shi Fuxin gave an 'um' and asked Guan Xiuyan to lead the way.
"Why didn't you go back to the main hall?"
Seeing Guan Xiuyan leading her towards the backyard of the clan mansion, Shi Fuxin asked.
Guan Xiuyan: "Sister-in-law said that some old concubines are going to rest in the guest courtyard at the back, so let us go there to find them."
Shi Fuxin looked at Guan Xiuyan, and seeing that her expression was the same, she turned her eyes and looked around: "Didn't my concubine ask you to call me? Why is there something about my sister-in-law?"
Guan Xiuyan was stunned for a moment: "When I came to look for you, I happened to meet my sister-in-law, and then my sister-in-law told me that the concubine mother went to the backyard with the old princess."
Soon, the two came to an empty courtyard.
"Hey, why is there no one?"
Shi Fuxin's face was puzzled by Guan Xiuyan, but she didn't see anything strange on her face.
"Sister-in-law obviously told me about this place."
Guan Xiuyan saw Shi Fuxin looking at her, thinking that she felt that she was lying to her, and quickly said: "Maybe I misheard, or cousin sister-in-law, please wait for me here, I will go find sister-in-law."
Shi Fuxin looked at Guan Xiuyan, smiled and nodded: "Okay." Then, she looked at An Ran and Nanny Leng, "You two follow Aunt Guan and bring me some refreshments, I'm hungry."
Nurse Leng originally wanted to tell An Ran to go and stay with her, but when she saw Shi Fuxin's eyes looking over her, she immediately stopped talking, followed Guan Xiuyan with her head down and worried and left.
As soon as they left, Shi Fuxin stepped into the room directly.
As soon as he entered the door, he held his breath. After a few breaths, his whole body limply fell to the ground.
Then, several masked men in black appeared in the room.
The man in black headed by looked at Shi Fuxin who fell unconscious on the ground, his brows were knotted.
The task this time seems to be too easy, and it seems that Shi Fuxin just sent away the mother-in-law and maids around her, which seems to be intentional.
Did she discover them earlier?
"Palace Master?"
Seeing Dong Jian standing still, the other men in black were a little puzzled.
"唰~"
Dong Jian suddenly drew out his saber and stabbed straight at the one on the ground.
"呲~"
Shi Fuxin was wearing a purple skirt, and the purple sleeves on her arms were instantly dyed red.
Dong Jian looked at the unconscious Shi Fuxin without blinking a glance, and saw that her brows were frowned, and there was a painful expression on her face, but her eyes were still closed.
People who have passed out of a coma can still feel the pain. If Shi Fuxin was pretending, she would definitely control her facial expressions.
However, Dong Jian was still not at ease, the sword in his hand rested on Shi Fuxin's body, moved to the position of her heart little by little, and then slowly stabbed in.
Seeing that Shi Fuxin showed a painful expression, the blood on his chest was seeping more and more, and if he continued stabbing, he would hurt his heart, but he still looked unconscious, so Dong Jian withdrew his hand.
It seems that the ability of the master of Shennong Hall has been exaggerated!
