Chapter 66 Gifting a Cat
Dong Xiqin was driven away.
Jiang Rong just had time to take a clear look at the furnishings in the tent, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the snow-white cat on the table.
"Wow, what a cute meow!" Jiang Rong approached the cage with sparkling eyes, looked down at the snow-white ball, and frowned: "Huh? Why is it tied with silk cloth? Is its leg injured?"
"This is what the prince picked up while hunting just now. It seems to have been bitten by a wild beast in the mountains. I have applied medicine to it. It is not serious and will recover after a period of rest." Xiao Nanxing explained:
"Does the Crown Prince like it? This is a gift from the Crown Prince for you."
Jiang Rong's face was filled with joy. She opened her arms and flew into Xie Lingxi's arms:
"Thank you, husband! I love it!"
When I was a child, someone gave the Jiang family a cat as a gift.
Jiang Rong liked him very much and begged Chang to let her raise him.
But Jiang Wan said she was afraid of cats and didn't allow her family to keep cats, so she sent the cat away.
At that time, Jiang Rong just felt that an elder sister should be tolerant and give in to her younger sister. Jiang Wan was afraid of cats, so it was reasonable for her not to keep one.
It has been many years since I last saw a cat.
I didn’t expect that the regrets from my childhood would now be fulfilled.
Xie Lingxi was hugged tightly by the little girl.
I was a little stiff when she hugged me for the first time, but now I am very familiar with it.
Catch her steadily.
It seems his intelligence network is still useful.
Jiang Rong really likes cats.
After Jiang Rong hugged her husband, she sat down next to the cat's cage and talked to Xie Lingxi about business:
"Just now, Xun He from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion came to cause trouble, and I sent him to the Dali Temple."
Although she knew that Xie Lingxi would always support her no matter what she did, Jiang Rong still pulled his sleeve and shook it: "Husband, Rong'er, do you think this is feasible?"
"Very good." Xie Lingxi really praised.
When Xiao Nanxing saw the couple pulling each other, he felt like he had swallowed a few gulps of syrup and wanted to disappear right there. However, due to the serious matters, he still raised his hand tremblingly:
"I heard that Chen Guangzong was the first to take action... What if they accuse Chen Guangzong of plotting to assassinate me?"
…
Prince's Mansion, backyard.
Xun Shiyu cried and complained:
"My cousin, you must rescue my brother and send that audacious Jiang Rong to the prison of the Ministry of Justice! She hit my brother so hard that he was seriously injured, and she even dared to whip him! She didn't give the Prince's Mansion any face at all."
Murong Shicheng, who was sitting in the main seat, had a very unpleasant expression on his face. "The Xie family dared to hit this prince. They simply don't take this prince seriously. Fan Ziyi, go to the Dali Temple and ask for him immediately!"
Sitting in the first seat on the lower left was a gentle and elegant young man, holding a blank folding fan, and said calmly:
"Your Highness, wait a minute. The Northern Palace sent the person in the name of assassination, which is justified. It is not appropriate for us to force him without a pretext."
"Chen Guangzong started it first! How can you say my brother was the assassin..." Xun Shiyu argued:
"Why can't we sue them for assassination?"
"But Xun He stopped them from leaving first. The Northern Palace only needs to say that Xun He stopped the Northern Palace's ceremonial guards and prevented them from protecting the prince. This was an ill-intentioned plot and an attempt to assassinate him." Fan Ziyi said slowly:
"How do you deal with it?"
Xun Shiyu was speechless.
Fan Ziyi continued:
"Now Xunhe is just detained in the Dali Temple for a few days. They didn't commit the assassination in the first place, and there is no evidence. They can be released after a few days of investigation and a formality."
"But if you force the Dali Temple to release the prisoners, it will interfere with the Dali Temple's trial. Your trouble may be even bigger than Xun He's."
Murong Shicheng felt a little aggrieved, "Xie Lingxi was able to drive away the people from the Ministry of Justice, but I can't go to the Dali Temple to rescue them. Am I worse than him?"
"He is a playboy, and you are the crown prince. How could His Majesty's expectations of you be the same as his? He has squandered the Northern Prince's Mansion, and His Majesty is happy to see it happen. But you... are the future master of Daxia." Fan Ziyi reminded.
Murong Shicheng had no choice but to swallow his anger. For a moment, he felt that being a prince was worse than being a free and easy playboy!
Seeing that he had persuaded him, Fan Ziyi felt relieved and said with a smile:
"Your Highness, Xun He has always been arrogant. It would be a good idea for him to go to the Dali Temple for a few days to temper his temper. Our focus now should be on Master Shen who is about to enter the capital."
“If we win over Master Shen, we will have half of the cabinet, and neither the King of Ying nor the King of Duan will be able to compete with Your Highness.”
During the Great Xia Dynasty, the cabinet had three important civil and military officials.
Civil officials were appointed as left and right chancellors and grand tutors, but there was no final decision on military officials, and military generals were promoted according to the emperor's preferences.
The ones in the cabinet today are the Duke of Zhenguo, the Duke of Anguo, and the Duke of Dingguo, among the four great generals.
Among them, the Duke of Zhenguo was a member of the Prince's party, the Duke of Anguo was a member of the King's party, and the Duke of Dingguo was neutral.
The remaining Left Prime Minister was neutral, and the Right Prime Minister was the father of the Crown Princess and Fan Ziyi.
The prince has always had the strongest power, and all the important civil and military officials in the cabinet support him.
The original Grand Tutor He was a member of Prince Duan's party.
But he abdicated due to illness, and the emperor summoned Master Shen back to Beijing...
Murong Shicheng's focus immediately shifted. The matter of Xunhe was just a minor matter.
The cabinet dispute is the key.
"You're right. I'll leave the matter of making friends with Master Shen to you."
…
In the tent.
Jiang Rong stroked the cat's head with his left hand and tugged at Xie Lingxi's sleeve with his right hand.
Hearing this, he shook his head:
"Wasn't it Xun He who stopped them first? He stopped the Yiwei Division from assassinating him. Chen Guangzong just wanted to go back to protect the prince. He had to take action in a hurry. There are smart people around the prince. They will naturally understand that we are right in this matter. It is useless for them to entangle with us."
Xiao Nanxing nodded suddenly and said, Princess, you are really good at complaining!
"They can't stir up trouble over this matter. As for revenge in the future... the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has been at odds with us for a long time, so this is not the first time they will be in trouble."
As she spoke, Jiang Rong raised her eyes and looked at Xie Lingxi, her eyes sparkling, "Husband, right?"
Like a little fox shaking its big tail.
Waiting for praise.
My dear, am I right? You have figured it out, right? Are we in perfect accord?
Xie Lingxi lowered his eyes. He had been in a good mood recently.
He himself did not notice.
Just like at this moment, looking at the young woman who was looking at him expectantly, he was in a very good mood and nodded slightly, "Yeah."
At dusk, Jiang Rong returned with Xueyun, Maomao and her husband.
Come with excitement and leave with satisfaction.
The news of the fight between the Northern Prince's Mansion and the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion spread throughout the capital that day. Xun He was severely injured and sent to the Dali Temple. All the officials in the court were waiting for a good show.
In the end, the Xun family did nothing.
I just sent the doctor and medicine to the Dali Temple.
Concubine Zhao, who had been looking forward to it, was so angry that she cursed the Xun family as trash.
Dong Xiqin couldn't help but sigh inwardly when she heard the news. The Northern Prince's Mansion was indeed the most powerful family in the dynasty. The Xun family had always been arrogant, but they had to suffer this loss.
I didn't choose the right time this time, but I will definitely be able to win Xie Lingxi next time!
