Taoist companions help me live forever

Chapter 38 The Princess’s Plea (please read it!)

The backyard of the palace.

"Your Majesty, this is today's secret. Master Cui said that these matters cannot be postponed any longer, and I want you to make a decision as soon as possible."

Two palace female officers in uniforms with capable temperaments carried baskets of foldables and placed them in front of the princess.

After King Fu's death, the decision-making of the palace's affairs fell on the princess, or to be precise, the crown prince.

But the prince was young, so he had to be regent by the princess.

Prince Fu was not an ordinary idle prince, but a powerful prince who owned a county and a fiefdom. He was a vassal, just like a country within a country, and his power was unimaginable.

However, his power can only rule ordinary people.

So he died.

Faced with this situation, ordinary people would be happy to have power, but the princess does not love power. On the contrary, she is tired of government affairs.

So facing this basket of discounts, she just waved her hands and said:

"Next time, ask Cui Changshi not to send it. He will handle these matters by himself. I don't understand this."

Cui Changshi is the chief historian of the palace, in charge of many affairs in the palace, and has always been King Fu's right-hand man.

Although the official rank of the chief historian is not high, in terms of actual power, he is almost equal to the prime minister. Even the county governor must respect him.

The princess is not an ignorant woman. She has read history books and knows the harm of officials excessively interfering in politics.

But she was even more afraid of doing something bad and ruining King Fu's reputation and letting the people scold her.

Her idea was simple. No matter how authoritarian Cui Changshi was, she would not dare to offend their mother and son.

Now the governance of Changning County still relies on this person, and it is even more difficult to replace him when facing the aggressiveness of the rebels.

The mother and son will live idle for a few years, and then take back their power when the heir apparent is older.

If he really dares to push her into a hurry, the worst he can do is pack up his gifts and take the prince to Kyoto.

Although King Fu's power would definitely be gone in that case, he could still be rich and wealthy for generations.

"Yes, concubine."

The two female officials seemed to have expected this. They bowed respectfully and left. However, before leaving, they couldn't help but glance curiously at the woman standing behind the princess.

Which family's young lady is this? She is so close to the princess.

"Yu Lan, you've seen it too. After the prince left, everything now falls on me. It's hard for me to even take a breath, and the wrinkles appear at the corners of my eyes."

The princess looked at the radiant and more beautiful Magnolia, thinking of Yu Xian's gentle and handsome face, and couldn't help feeling a little envious.

"Didn't you promise to come back in a month? Why did you go so long? Or did Chen Xiao use some tricks secretly?"

"This, this..."

Yulan hesitated, not knowing what to say.

She wasn't a liar, but she couldn't tell the princess directly that Yu Xian had taken her to live in her hometown for several months and nothing had happened.

Especially now that the prince is dead, it seems that Yu Xian has neglected his duties.

The princess waited for a long time, but Yulan didn't say anything.

She couldn't help but nodded Yulan's head, smiled and cursed:

"It has only been a long time since I have been away from you, and you are now unwilling to tell the truth to me. Men are not good things. If you are so protective of Yu Chongfeng now, be careful that he will throw you away in the future."

Hearing the princess's teasing, Yulan immediately gathered up her courage and boldly retorted: "No, my husband will never abandon me."

"You call him husband?"

The princess showed some doubts.

Yu Lan had a happy smile on her face: "My husband has officially married me, and he even met my parents with me."

The princess laughed dumbly: "No wonder you refuse to tell the truth to me. It turns out that this matter still exists. It seems that you have really not been idle in the past few months."

Yulan's face suddenly turned pale.

Why did you sell your husband out in such a confused way?

But then I thought about it, she was no longer the maid of the princess. Her husband had said that she was no longer anyone's slave, and with her husband here, she didn't have to be afraid of anyone.

So Yulan took a deep breath, and the fear in her heart gradually dissipated.

The princess saw all this in her eyes and felt a little more fond of Yu Xian.

"It's good that he is willing to give you a title, but I am someone who has been here before, so I have to give you some advice."

"What?" Yulan said confused.

"Have a child as soon as possible. A woman's beauty will be weak, and her love will be weak. Only a child is her own protection."

The princess said with deep feeling.

At that time she was still the daughter of the Minister of Rites.

Prince Fu met her once by chance, and he could not forget her. In order to marry her, he gave up the throne, asked the late emperor for marriage, and came to Changning County early.

King Fu did not love the country but the beauty, which naturally moved her very much.

As a result, within two years of joining the prince's palace, the prince's interest in her was far less than before.

Fortunately, after she gave birth to the prince's heir, the prince's attitude improved a lot. Although he was not as doting as before, he still treated her with respect.

Yulan couldn't help but touch her belly, feeling secretly distressed.

How she didn’t know the importance of having children.

But I just couldn't live up to expectations and wasted so many opportunities.

Just when the atmosphere was a little gloomy, the princess suddenly thought of something and asked:

"Yulan, can you promise me something?"

Unknowingly, the princess had changed her name.

Yulan said quickly: "Please give me your orders, and Yulan will definitely agree if she can do it."

The princess was so kind to her, and she had long wanted to repay her.

The princess smiled lightly and said: "It's a very simple thing, I want Yu Gongfeng to stay in the palace and protect Heng'er from growing up smoothly.

I can ask Heng'er to become his disciple, and make him the head of the palace's internal affairs, and the prime minister to handle the internal affairs of the palace. "

Once a teacher, always a father.

When the prince becomes a disciple, this gift cannot be ignored.

"ah?"

Yulan's face was full of astonishment, she hesitated for a moment and said:

"Your Majesty, Magnolia cannot help your husband make a decision, but Magnolia can promise your Majesty, and she will definitely persuade your husband to agree."

At this moment, the maid's voice came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, I would like to see you. Do you want to see me?"

"Let him come."

The princess gave an order and smiled at Yu Lan:

"It's a coincidence. I just happened to ask Yu Chongfeng, Yu Lan, if you want to help me."

Yulan nodded helplessly.

After a while, under the guidance of the maid, Yu Xian arrived.

This time the door was left open.

After all, the princess is a female family member, so seeing a man alone at the door of the room is not very good.

"Mother, I'm late."

Yu Xian cupped his hands and apologized.

The princess gave a wry smile: "It's time, I don't have to blame myself. I just happened to be back. I have something to ask of you, so I must agree to it."

Without waiting for Yu Xian to refuse, the princess repeated what she had just said, and at the same time gave Yulan another look.

Yulan had no choice but to bite the bullet and help:

"Ms. Gong, it's hard for the empress in the palace now. Let's help her. Without the empress, Yulan would not be what it is today, and she would not be able to see my husband."

Yu Xian did not answer directly, but asked:

"Why did the empress choose me? With the power of the palace, there will be many martial arts veterans and grandmaster knights willing to take over this job.

After all, Yu's reputation has never been very good. "

The princess thought for a moment and replied: "Maybe it's a feeling."

"Feel?"

Yu Xian never thought of this answer.

The princess seemed to like seeing Yu Xian's bewildered expression, and said with a bit of playfulness.

"I think Yu Zongfeng is a good person, so I want to give it a try."

Anyway, no matter how bad the result is, it won't be much worse.

She didn't ask for much, as long as the prince grew up safely, had no worries, was strong, and had no influence behind him, Yu Xian was a good candidate.

Coupled with the heroic rescue of the beauty that day, Yu Xian had a different feeling in her heart.

Yu Xian paused, nodded and said:

"I can promise your Majesty, but besides that, I want your Majesty to agree to one more condition."

"What?"

"I want all the inheritance about immortal cultivators in Prince Fu's Mansion!"

Yu Xian's picture is poor and dagger can be seen.
