Chapter 260 Based on past experience
Xia and Nanny Feng looked at each other. Xia waved to Achan and asked what happened.
When Xie Jianqi came in the evening, he heard his sister-in-law say that Ah Heng had not eaten dinner, saying that she had a nightmare last night and had no energy all day.
Thinking about last night, Xie Jian was puzzled. They were both very tired, so how could she still have a nightmare?
When I entered the room, I saw Ah Heng hugging her pillow, sometimes curling up on one side, sighing, sometimes curling up on the other side, sighing: "My sister-in-law said, did you have a nightmare last night?"
"Ajian." Chen Heng felt a little guilty when she saw Xie Jian coming in with food.
She judged it. How could she put it? Her body hadn't been abnormal that day. If it had really happened, she would have felt something. She and the prince probably hadn't had physical contact, but mentally, perhaps they had had sex? Otherwise, how could she have such a scene?
Why would the perverted prince do this?
It was so disgusting that I suddenly felt that life was not beautiful at all.
Seeing Ah Heng's listless appearance, Xie Jian put the food on the table and said, "Sister-in-law made your favorite stewed chestnuts with meat. These chestnuts are very delicious."
"There are chestnuts?" Shen Heng instantly felt hungry and got out of bed to eat.
A hint of smile flashed across Xie Jian's eyes. It seemed that this nightmare was nothing more than this: "Don't go to Madam Gong's invitation tomorrow."
"Why?"
"Someone gave Madam Gong 10,000 taels of silver in the hope of buying her an official position. This purchase requires the help of a minister from the Ministry of Personnel, your husband, me, and three ministers from the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Justice."
The chestnuts were so soft, sticky, and sweet that Shen Heng stuffed two into her mouth and chewed them. She blinked at Xie Jian and said, "Are you saying that Madam Gong invited me and the other three ladies tomorrow to arrange the purchase of an official position?"
"Madam is clever."
"But I can avoid it for a while, but not forever." Chen Heng said, "Since I don't want to ask for your help, if I don't go tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, who knows when Madam Gong might come to visit in person."
"So, tomorrow when Madam Gong and the other three ladies gather, the Crown Princess will invite them to enjoy the flowers."
Chen Heng was stunned for a moment: "Crown Princess, are you inviting them to appreciate the flowers at this time?"
"At this critical juncture, Lord Gong still doesn't know how to restrain his wife. He won't be able to stay in this position for long." If he wants to climb up, he must go to the power center of the two provinces of Shangshu and Zhongshu. Lord Qin of Shangshu and the prince are hugging each other tightly, and he can't move them. However, Lord Gong of Zhongshu and the fourth prince have their own ideas and can be moved.
He had come up with this plan because of the internal and external troubles. As long as Lord Gong fell, the network of relationships he had previously established in the Secretariat could be put into action.
Chen Heng remembered what Madam Gong had said the last time: if Xie Jian followed Master Gong, she would not treat her unfairly. She said that if the family had any difficulties, they could come to her. As long as they were willing to spend money, it would not be surprising if she sold official positions privately. She said angrily, "Ten years of hard study, and everything I learned has been thrown away, and now we are at the most dangerous time."
Xie Jian was slightly startled and looked away.
If Ah Heng knew that all this was his plan, would she also think the same way about him in her heart?
"Huh, only six chestnuts and three pieces of meat?" Shen Heng found that the meat and chestnuts were all eaten, but only half a bowl of rice was eaten.
"Don't eat too much at night, it's hard to digest. Ah Chan, clean up."
Achan, who was waiting outside the door, came in and took the bowl away.
"I haven't eaten enough yet." Chen Heng really wanted Achan to get some more.
"Eat what your body needs, not what your mouth craves. If you eat more, you must hold on."
