Chapter 892 Don’t you love this kind of North Wing?
Xiao Zhi had no interest in the throne.
He wanted to return to his fiefdom to be a leisurely prince, or to manage his fiefdom to make it prosperous and peaceful like Princess Yongle, which would be the greatest achievement of his life.
He never really coveted that position!
He even felt that if Cen Yuan was really a prince who had fallen into the common people, and his father was determined to train him to be the crown prince, it would actually be a blessing for Beiyi.
He is capable of maintaining peace in the country through literary skills and stabilizing the country through military force. How many people can have such extraordinary talents?
Xiao Zhi sent Eunuch An away.
Originally, Eunuch An should have died as an apology, but Xiao Zhi saved him out of personal feelings.
He sorted out the whole thing, thinking about An Xia's attitude that night.
He came and went in a hurry, just to take away the silver carbon given by him.
But she didn't ask any extra questions.
He thought, maybe she already knew that carbon was poisonous, otherwise she wouldn't be so calm.
Xiao Zhi went incognito again and entered the young master's residence.
He has to plead guilty.
It happened that Envoy Shen and Madam Anguo were both there, as was Madam Meng, and it was said that they were examining Shi Anxia's body.
Bei Hui was very apologetic, "Your Highness, please sit for a while. Our wife can't come for a while."
Xiao Zhi nodded, "It doesn't matter, tell the imperial sister not to worry."
The tea he drank went from hot to cold, and then from cold tea to hot tea, and he waited for a long time.
Bei Hui came to apologize several times, saying, "Our lady will need some time."
When Xiao Zhi heard Bei Hui calling her "our Madam", he knew that Shi Anxia had never really cared about the title of "Princess" and had never wronged Cen Yuan.
He waited for a while, but nothing happened, so he said goodbye and returned to the palace.
The next day, Shi Anxia handed the jade token into the palace to ask for an audience with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and specifically insisted that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wait in the palace instead of going to her house in person.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bestowed an apricot-yellow sedan chair and had Shi Anxia carried all the way into the Wenhua Palace.
Shi Anxia performed the salute as usual, with a very standard posture, even the arc of her bend was exactly the same as the "Rules of the Ministry of Rites". It was just that she was physically handicapped and her movements were slow.
Xiao Zhi felt so embarrassed in front of her that he could not hide his feelings. "My dear sister, there is no need to be polite."
He gave a seat.
Xiao Shuzi stood with his hands hanging beside the vermilion lacquered pillars of the Wenhua Hall, his eyes fixed on the carvings on the blue bricks.
This is what Eunuch Qi taught him: If you want to control your eyes, first find a dead object to stare at, and then recite the third rule of "Eunuch Discipline" in your mind: "The poison of the ears and eyes is worse than poison."
Eunuch Qi had taught him that as a servant, he should see what he should see and not see what he should not see. He should listen to what he should listen to and not listen to what he should not listen to. He should remember what he should remember and forget what he should not remember.
There are also three "don'ts" to save your life: don't ask without permission, don't spread rumors without permission, and don't make decisions without permission. Only in this way can you live long and smoothly in this deep palace.
After Bei Hui helped Shi Anxia sit down, she also stood beside the little tree.
Inside the palace.
Xiao Zhi spoke first, "I sent Eunuch An to Huizhou to live out his retirement."
Shi Anxia lowered her eyes and said nothing. After a while, she said "hmm".
Xiao Zhi added, "He has an illness, which is the root of my illness."
Shi Anxia said "hmm" again.
Xiao Zhi's ears turned red. "He deserves to die, but I can't bear it. To me, he is... a relative closer than my own."
Shi Anxia nodded, "I understand. Just like Bei Hui to me. She would be willing to sacrifice her life for me, and so would Eunuch An."
When Xiao Zhi heard her words, he thought that she did know that silver carbon was poisonous, and he felt very guilty, "Royal sister, Eunuch An thought too much and made a mistake."
Shi Anxia raised her eyes, her beautiful eyes as calm as an ancient well, "Brother, what if I was killed?"
Xiao Zhi: “!!!”
He didn't dare to think about the consequences.
"There is a kind of loyalty in this world, which is pure and brave to the master, but a sharp knife to others. You protect him, and I don't blame you. If I die, his name will be a good story in the "Loyalty Biography", but he will become a criminal in the "Criminal Law Book". Finally, she asked him, "So, my brother, do I deserve to die?"
Xiao Zhi was unable to speak. When he saved Eunuch An, he had expected the current situation to happen.
He didn't think of playing dumb and getting away with it, because that would just be a thorn in the hearts of the princess and her husband.
So he chose to confess.
But she was more frank, "I have many capable people around me, and my food, clothing, housing and transportation are all checked by people. It is difficult for anyone to harm me. But what if one day, I am not the one who is harmed?"
There was silence in the Wenhua Hall.
Just when Xiao Zhi thought that An Xia was relentless and wanted to put Eunuch An to death, she said, "It would be great if my brother arranged for Eunuch An to return to Huizhou to spend his remaining years in retirement. However, he needs to appoint two sensible and capable people to remind him from time to time so that his mind does not go astray."
Xiao Zhi felt relieved. "My sister is right. I have already arranged the personnel. As long as Eunuch An does not have any delusions, he will be able to live a good life in the second half of his life."
He specially found a reliable palace maid and volunteered to marry Eunuch An. He was worried that Eunuch An would be alone at night without anyone to add tea or water.
On Xiao Zhi's end, today's conversation was basically over. He apologized to the imperial sister and received her forgiveness and approval.
The princess also praised him for doing a good job and being so perfect.
But for Shi Anxia, the conversation had just begun. She had deliberately let the prince wait yesterday because she felt that discussing things in the mansion lacked some weight.
The jade token was handed over at 3:30 this morning to show my seriousness.
At that time, Anxia's white fingers gently stroked the inscription "People are the foundation of the country" on the teacup, and the blue and white lines on the glaze were faintly visible. "Since my father personally led the army to recover the first city, our North Wing has been different."
Xiao Zhi sat up straight in a solemn manner.
Listen to her story, "In July of this year, Lord Jiang, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, was sent as an envoy to the six countries. The Emperor of Langchuan personally led all the officials to welcome him thirty miles away. This was the first time in three hundred years that an envoy from the Northern Wing enjoyed the nine-level ceremony of honoring the ministers of honor."
Xiao Zhi obviously knew all of it, but when he heard Shi Anxia say it, he inexplicably felt a little excited and moved.
Shi Anxia's fingertips gently stroked her bulging abdomen. Her back was still straight, and she sat upright, without losing her princess's dignity. "At the September meeting of all nations, the people of Wan were still strong, thinking that they still had the final say. They asked the envoys present to stand in silence and mourn for their Guicheng governor Wu Le, and ordered my northern wing envoys to lay down their swords and hats, and kneel in the direction of Wan for three quarters of an hour..."
At that time, envoys from various countries had all stood up.
But after Lord Jiang, the envoy from the northern wing, said in a loud voice, "You, the Wan Kingdom, have no right to make decisions," and the guards behind Lord Jiang drew their swords, the envoys from various countries all sat back down.
This time, all nations followed the lead of the Northern Wing. Lord Jiang no longer had to swallow his anger.
The Wan people were so angry that they jumped up and down, but so what? They couldn't win by fighting, and they couldn't stop scolding!
Shi Anxia has a very nice voice, a clear girlish voice, coupled with calm eyes, and the kind of magnificent tone of voice in the calm, which makes the listeners feel an indescribable sense of pride.
But at this moment, she changed the subject and said, "Your Highness, don't you love Beiyi like this?"
