This shows the difference between poor families and wealthy families.
People like Lin Fujian climbed up from hardships, so he could bend down and frown. She believed that he must have studied her carefully before coming, so from beginning to end, he didn't say a word of nonsense, and he got straight to the point and was straightforward.
As for Prince Yu, every word he said in praising her was very "interesting" and seemed very sincere. It can't be said that he hadn't done his homework.
However, the biggest difference is:
When Lin Fujian sat there, he looked up. He knew clearly the status of them now.
Prince Yu was sitting here, looking down at her. In his eyes, she was still that little country girl who was not presentable.
It’s just like the discussion about establishing the Queen. They attacked the Queen’s background. In the eyes of the aristocratic families, background is an original sin, a sin that can never be erased in a lifetime.
This is especially true for someone like her who grew up in the countryside.
Especially after she was recognized, she continued to work as a businessman and craftsman without striving for progress, which made them despise her even more.
Therefore, the aristocratic families have always had a bad impression of her, and nothing they do can change that.
...
...
This is especially true for women and girls from aristocratic families.
Prince Yu certainly didn't lose his temper. He continued to smile amiably and said, "It's my fault. You're just a young girl with an impatient temper. I shouldn't have said so much."
His words were sarcastic, but she simply nodded, motioning for him to continue.
He then said, "A few days ago, the Prime Minister received a complaint that involved me. I wonder how the matter is going?"
Yan Shiyue said: "No progress yet."
Prince Yu said, "Since the Prime Minister has been ordered to assist the Ministry of Justice, I wonder if he will take care of this matter?"
"No," Yan Shiyue said, "This matter has been handed over to Minister Li. I just listen to his reports every day."
He said, "I am ashamed to say that I have some problems with Minister Li, and I am afraid that he will interfere."
Yan Shiyue said, "If he interferes and gets evidence, you can impeach him! If you don't want him to investigate, go and ask the emperor! My words don't count, what on earth does the prince want me to do?"
Prince Yu couldn't laugh anymore.
He said slowly: "Prime Minister, we are all officials in the same court. Don't you have any sympathy at all?"
Yan Shiyue said: "Shouldn't the Prime Minister tell Minister Li about this?"
She refused to adapt to his way of talking, and he was completely unaccustomed to her way of talking, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Prince Yu said angrily, "It seems that the Prime Minister has made up his mind to stand on Lin Fujian's side?"
Yan Shiyue chuckled, "Your Majesty, I advise you to use your brain before you speak."
Prince Yu regretted the moment he said this.
She had long known that this person would only respond to soft words and not to hard ones. It would be strange if she didn't get angry after hearing his words! Besides, she had just exiled Lin Weizhong, so it was impossible for her to stand on Lin Fujian's side.
But before he could force a smile or say something soft, Yan Shiyue said directly: "Jiahe, show the guest away."
She stood up and left.
Prince Yu was forcibly sent out, his whole face black.
Even in front of the emperor, he would not be so disrespectful! This village girl is really vulgar. Even if she wears a princess's gorgeous clothes, she can't hide the earthy smell!
He walked away with gnashing teeth.
After returning, he immediately asked someone to call Qu Sinian over.
He said directly: "I don't care what method you use, you must deal with this little bitch... for me! She is just a child who has just entered the circle of rich and powerful. She doesn't even know the rules and etiquette. How difficult can she be to deal with? She must learn to be submissive! Learn to bow her head and be used by me!"
"Your Highness," Qu Sinian said awkwardly, "She is a resolute person. Don't act too hastily. Otherwise, we will... not be able to deal with her."
Prince Yu said angrily: "What use do I have for you!"
Qu Sinian lowered his head.
Although Prince Yu was angry, he did not lose his mind. After a while, he slowly calmed down and sat down and said, "It was me who lost my temper. Si Nian, please don't blame me."
"Si Nian doesn't dare."
"She is indeed very stubborn, and it is difficult for you. However, it is precisely because of her high status and unpredictable character that we must win her over! Si Nian is just a little girl, and it is not impossible to use some tricks. If you can really win her heart, what harm will it do to you?"
"Your Highness," Qu Sinian said with a wry smile, "The Prime Minister seems to be quite casual with others, but in fact he has his own standards in his heart, and he treats the Marquis with deep affection and loyalty. I'm afraid Sinian can't do that. Moreover, her temperament is a bit stubborn and ruthless, but because of this, she will not favor anyone."
He paused and said carefully: "So, instead of trying to win her support, Your Majesty should prepare for the worst... and make arrangements in advance."
Prince Yu looked at him coldly.
Qu Sinian buried his head deeply.
Prince Yu said slowly, "Si Nian, I have treated you well over the years, right?"
Qu Sinian said: "The prince has been very kind to Sinian."
"Okay, she has always been unwilling to tolerate others, so it is not easy for her to accept you. Things are so urgent, and I don't have time to make other arrangements. Even if I force you to do something... I will leave this matter to you."
Qu Sinian hesitated several times, and finally said, "Yes."
After he came out, he was in a dilemma. After hesitating for a long time, he went to find Xu Wenqu.
Xu Wenqu was actually a very smart person. Although he was not good at political intrigues, how could he not see through Qu Sinian's actions?
But Yan Shiyue didn't get angry, so he didn't point it out.
Qu Sinian kept begging him, so he went with him and said, "Sinian, the greatest thing in the world is the imperial power."
Qu Sinian could only say: "Sinian understands."
Xu Wenqu said nothing more.
When they arrived, Yan Shiyue was taking a nap, so the servants invited them in directly, served them tea and books, and Xu Wenqu sat there leisurely reading as if he was in his own room.
Qu Sinian sat upright, and suddenly realized the meaning of what she said at that time: "Has our friendship reached the point where you can lose your temper with me?"
When he came, Yan Shiyue was also smiling and talking calmly, but he had to inform her when he came. If she was not there or too busy, he could only leave or wait outside, but no one would pay attention to him even after waiting for several hours.
I remember him saying at that time, "I only hope that one day I can be on par with Wenqu."
She answered very seriously, "That's probably difficult."
Did she already realize at that time that his intentions were not pure?
When Yan Shiyue woke up, he heard that the two had been waiting outside for almost an hour.
Now that the old fox is here, the importance of the little fox is instantly reduced.
But since Xu Xiang is a man of few words, it seems okay to have such a serious chatterbox around, and it's nice to listen to the two together.
So Yan Shiyue didn't plan to turn hostile for the time being, and came out after washing his face: "Sir, Mr. Qu."
Xu Wenqu glanced at the timetable beside him and put down the book. "I thought you were going to sleep until the afternoon, why are you up at this time?"
