Chapter 514 Fuxing gave the choice to Yuan Huaihong
In Kunning Palace, Fuxing met Shangguan Jinglan.
"Well, there will be a palace banquet tonight, and it's time to make a decision on the matter of the Imperial Master." Shangguan Jinglan seemed to be in a bad mood. In fact, she was also very troubled by the decision to replace someone.
She raised her hand, and an old man in a black robe came forward and nodded to Fuxing.
"High Priest, it's a pleasure to work with you!" It was obvious that he was the new national master.
Fuxing ignored the other party, but took a few steps forward and wrote with his hand dipped in tea: Isn’t it Zuo?
Shangguan Jinglan pinched her brows in annoyance, "Don't mention this person, he's not capable enough, let's change him."
Fuxing tilted his head in confusion and continued to write in bewilderment: He just needs to be obedient.
Shangguan Jinglan was slightly surprised and finally looked up at the little girl in front of her, because Fuxing's words almost instantly touched her heart.
Indeed, to put it bluntly, whether it was Fuxing or the new national teacher, she wanted an obedient chess piece. How much ability was needed? Perhaps too much ability would be a burden to her.
She frowned and couldn't help struggling in her heart.
Soon, Fuxing continued to write: Left, alone, safe.
The expression on Shangguan Jinglan's face slowly changed with the presence of these people. At this moment, she really looked up to the little girl in front of her.
No one knows that the most important reason why she likes Zuo Jiali is that there is no one left in the Zuo family. To put it bluntly, this chess piece of the national teacher has great power, but is difficult to control. Once the new national teacher is out of her control, she may still choose to kill him to silence him.
Therefore, Zuo Jiali was very suitable, and she could not find a perfect replacement in such a short time.
Even the old man below has a daughter who married far away, so he is not someone who will be ignored if he dies.
Shangguan Jinglan stared at the little girl in front of her without blinking. There was still timidity in the little girl's eyes, but her eyes were clear and bright, which showed that she was smart and intelligent. Did she underestimate her?
"Your Majesty," Bai Zhi suddenly came in and whispered at the door, "The palace banquet is about to begin. We should pack up and get ready to go."
"Alright!" Shangguan Jinglan retracted her gaze and turned to look at the old man below the stage. "Alright, you can go home first. I'll think about what I told you about the Imperial Master."
"Yes, Your Majesty, thank you for your magnanimity!" Unexpectedly, the old man looked as if he had been pardoned, and ran away without looking back, as if he was afraid that Shangguan Jinglan would change her mind.
Shangguan Jinglan shook her head helplessly. This old man was brought by her family, and it seemed that he was indeed unwilling.
Soon, she made a decision and said to Fuxing in a cold voice, "Okay, I will trust you this time and let Zuo Jiali continue to be the Imperial Preceptor. But if anything happens to you or him, I will not forgive either of you."
She stood up and prepared to leave. "You should go back too. Don't miss the palace banquet. I won't be calling Zuo Jiali into the palace tonight. Everything is up to you."
Fuxing bowed obediently, and only turned and walked out after Shangguan Jinglan left.
At the National Master's Hall, almost at the same time, Li Suining saw what was about to happen.
"What should I do?" She anxiously grabbed Yuan Huaihong's arm. "At the palace banquet, Sister Fuxing said that Brother Zuo should be the Imperial Preceptor. What should I do?"
Yuan Huaihong frowned, knowing that Fuxing must have persuaded the Queen.
At this moment, it is too late to make any remedies. We can only wait for Fuxing to come back and change his mind.
"Sister Suining, don't worry. Wait until Fuxing comes back and I'll talk to her about it." Yuan Huaihong sighed helplessly, "But if she still doesn't agree, then this is all we can do for now."
Li Suining nodded. She knew that this was the only way.
After waiting for a while, they saw Fuxing coming back.
"Sister Suining, go in and change your clothes first. I'll talk to Fuxing." Yuan Huaihong asked Xiaotuanzi to leave first.
Little Dumpling nodded pitifully, glanced at Fuxing, and then turned around and went in to change clothes.
Yuan Huaihong watched Fuxing approach and whispered, "Why did you have to drag Zuo Jiali into this? The test that day was not only for my mother to see, but also for you. This Zuo Jiali... to put it bluntly, he has no ability and can't help you. Why bother?"
Fuxing smiled indifferently, walked past Yuan Huaihong and entered the front hall.
"Fuxing, can you tell me what you want to do?" Yuan Huaihong couldn't help but chase after him, "Please believe me this time, I really want to save Zuo Jiali, and I don't want my mother to make a mistake again."
Fuxing stopped, turned around, and looked at him indifferently.
"Is it because of Wenren Li?" Yuan Huaihong couldn't help but wonder, "You want to avenge Wenren Li? Then I am also responsible for this matter. If I hadn't privately decided to sacrifice him that day, my mother wouldn't have dealt with him so quickly. So, if you want revenge, how about coming to me? Release Zuo Jiali, and release my mother as well."
He never thought that Fuxing's continued work for Shangguan Jinglan meant that she was truly obedient. He believed that everything was just a superficial phenomenon.
And based on his understanding of Fuxing, the more obedient and well-behaved Fuxing is, the more terrifying he finds him.
So, no matter whether Fuxing is dealing with Shangguan Jinglan or Zuo Jiali, he hopes she can stop.
Fuxing looked at him quietly, and suddenly sneered.
She walked to the table and wrote with her finger dipped in tea: Then you come.
She looked at Yuan Huaihong with a smile.
Yuan Huaihong felt his back tremble when she looked at him, "What do you mean?"
Fuxing raised his eyebrows, as if to say, you ask even though you already know the answer.
"You...you mean," Yuan Huaihong thought this guess was too bold, "you want me to be...the new Imperial Master?"
Fuxing seemed to be in a good mood and nodded with a smile.
"You..." Yuan Huaihong wanted to say you are crazy, but in the end he swallowed the two words back.
He took a deep breath and said, "Fuxing, I am the crown prince. If you ask me to be a national teacher, have you thought about how to explain it to my mother? She will not let you go!"
Fuxing curled his lips, looking nonchalant, and continued to write: It’s you who wants to be it!
Yuan Huaihong frowned and quickly understood what Fuxing meant.
The whole thing was not about Fuxing saying who the future national teacher would be, but about Yuan Huaihong himself proposing to be the national teacher. In this case, Shangguan Jinglan could not blame anyone else, and it was understandable that Fuxing acquiesced.
Yuan Huaihong felt more and more weird. He really couldn't guess what Fuxing was trying to do.
Fuxing had no intention of continuing the conversation, so he turned and left, leaving everything to Yuan Huaihong to decide. Obviously, the national teacher tonight would be between Yuan Huaihong and Zuo Jiali.
Who is it? Fuxing gave the choice to Yuan Huaihong.
