Chapter 71: Vertical and Horizontal

On the first day after the princess's marriage, she was going to enter the palace to thank her.Normally, the empress would be the one to receive them. Now that there is no empress in the palace, it is natural for the concubine to come forward. However, this is not very proper. Fortunately, Wei Liao was also present, so it was so-so.

Wei Liao kept his composure, the scene was much more beautiful, anyway, it was just a formality, after a few words, the imperial concubine brought tea to hint, the newlyweds naturally retreated, and the etiquette was over.

There is a big event in the harem this year, and a group of new palace ladies will be selected.Although the maid's status is not high, but because she is too close to the master, she is very important, so every time a replacement is a big event.The imperial concubine has been in the palace for six years, she has experienced it once, this time it is not too busy, Li Jieyu will help her, and she can handle it by herself.

However, the former dynasty had a lot of troubles because of the princess.

When the prince abolished incident happened, most of those around him who knew his plan were regarded as the culprits and beheaded. There were also many people who were exiled or deprived of their titles and official positions and were driven back to their original places because the late emperor did not want to kill too many lives. .In addition to those who have suffered setbacks, there are naturally some good ones who are still officials in the court.

Some of the people in Wei Chenrui's hands came from here. They were people from the East Palace many years ago. They secretly hated the late emperor because of Lei Ting's methods, or they were loyal to the abolished prince. , secretly under her command.

Wei Chenrui didn't understand the struggle in court before.After all, she was a girl, and the deposed prince had a son again, so she was not so desperate to raise her daughter as a man, not to mention that he himself had not ascended to the throne of God, and the fact that there would be no successor was not imminent.

She studied in Fangzhou, and the professor was an untitled counselor who was close to the prince back then.Just because he had no title and drifted away before the incident of the prince, he was not liquidated, so he was able to save his remnant body and came to find Wei Chenrui.

Whether a person can succeed or not is mostly determined by his innate mind.Since Wei Chenrui decided to inherit his father's business, he treated him courteously, taking advantage of the aftermath to gather his father's loyal old department, while protecting his own safety, while making preparations for the future.

To be really successful, what is needed is nothing more than a few things, fame, influence, soldiers and horses, money and food.From this point of view, Wei Chenrui's chances of winning are really not high.

Her father is a rebellious son. Although he is a direct descendant of the emperor, it is not of much use. Although her fiefdom is still there after she arrives in Fangzhou, she still has some income. However, after all, it is only used to support the princess, and there will not be much. , it is impossible to touch the edge.

It was Wei Liao's actions that really gave her a chance.

During the 200 years of the Kingdom, there was no clan that forced the palace. The only thing that made the world stable was the previous emperor's inhumanity and mediocrity. As long as the timing was right, they were also members of the Wei family, and Wei Chenrui's background was enough for her to stand firm.

The rest is nothing more than cooperating vertically and horizontally, looking for forces that can be relied on.

Although returning to Chang'an was one of the links, it was actually the first to plan. After all, only in the center of the country can she have the greatest strength, gather the clan, and gain the approval of the court.

Wei Liao's Fu Xiru's breakup showed a little light.

Although he didn't meet these two people much, Wei Chenrui's vision of seeing people was not wrong.The kindness and deep love of young people can never last long, not to mention that Wei Liao has too much and is doomed to not know how to cherish and give in. Fu Xiru is famous all over the world when he was young, and he is also proud and unyielding.

That's her chance.

She never thought of doing anything with her own beauty, or the love of others.Beauty is easy to grow old, kindness is easy to pass away, they are all unreliable things.The Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace has countless wives and concubines, and none of them can survive on the basis of beauty and a little affection at the beginning. What's more, what she is planning is far from what ordinary women want. Using this trick is to kill herself.

She expected it.

After hearing that Fu Xiru had returned to Beijing, she secretly sent letters to test each other's attitude, reached a consensus, and supported each other.Returning to Beijing was planned for a long time, and because Wei Liao wanted to see what else she could do as she expected, the trip went smoothly.

A few years ago, Wei Chenrui would never have thought that he would marry Fu Xiru.This person got a "Mingmin" comment from her father, and because she was able to serve as a regular servant on a loose horse for so long, she seemed even more unfathomable. If it wasn't for the fate of time, she would not be willing to go to where she is today.

The like-mindedness of the two really surprised her.

People always think of the love of a gentleman as indifferent as water, as light as dew, and not surprised by favor or humiliation. What she didn't expect was that Fu Xiru was not a gentleman.He also holds hatred, he also suffers, and he also becomes poisoned because of love. Since he can't keep it, he burns it himself.

The so-called "I'll leave him to you" promise was Wei Chenrui's temptation, but the result of the temptation made her have to worry about it for several days.She slowly figured it out that Fu Xiru was the same person as herself, determined and affectionate.

After all, he was not willing to let Wei Liao let him do whatever he wanted, because both of them valued the world and the throne too much, so they couldn't reach a consensus and lived in peace, so they had to be entangled in a fight with unknown love and hatred.

The feeling of finally meeting someone of the same kind in the world is very delicate. Wei Chenrui savored it for a long time, and on the one hand, he had more appreciation for Fu Xiru, but on the other hand he had to feel fear.It is precisely because she knows what she can do that she is wary and cautious about another of her kind.

He noticed the difference between himself and the guards around him, and Wei Chenrui was not surprised.She had already made an appointment with Fu Xiru to live in the Princess Mansion for half a month every month after marriage, and to live in the Duke's Mansion for half a month. This matter was supposed to be discussed openly and honestly.

After all, the two of them only have the name of husband and wife, and they should be husband and wife separately, so what they didn't have time to say the night before, Wei Shenrui said in the carriage after leaving the palace.

"He's my father's old servant," she called the deposed prince who hasn't changed for many years, and her expression is also frank and honest: "I offended my grandfather and moved to Fangzhou. He has been deprived of his military post. He came to protect me, just... …to this day.”

There was a misty sadness in the princess's expression, Fu Xiru could see it clearly, so he didn't ask any more questions, and accepted her explanation: "Your Highness, you can rest assured."

He has been in a low mood since last night, and Wei Chenrui has noticed it long ago. Thinking of Wei Liao who he saw in the palace just now, he couldn't help feeling that he had separated the two poor people, and shook his head: "If you look like this, If someone sees me, I'm afraid my reputation will go up to a higher level, and I will be regarded as arrogant and domineering, which will make you suffer unspeakably."

Fu Xiru was stunned, but when she understood what she meant, she smiled bitterly: "How dare you. If this is the case, for the sake of His Highness's reputation, I have no choice but to be elated."

He cooperated very well, and almost immediately returned to his usual unfathomable and immobile appearance. Wei Chenrui looked at it, but suddenly a sense of sadness welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help sighing.Look away: "Forget it, after all, it's you who make things difficult for you, and it's me who make things difficult for me, each has its own difficulties."

Fu Xiru didn't speak anymore.

What the princess said was right, the two of them had their own things they had to do, and each had their own way of traveling thousands of miles, but they could neither hug each other for warmth, nor confess their worries for comfort, so it was better to be silent.

Princesses of this dynasty have limited access to political affairs, but they have considerable power.One is to win over forces by weaving a network of blood, the other is to open the door of the mansion to attract customers, and the third is to look at the influence on the emperor and the harem.

If Wei Chenrui could intervene in the affairs of the palace, she would not have to act after she came out. The third way was not her way, but the first two were promising.

Her mother is the daughter of a powerful family. Because of the abolishment of the crown prince, she needs an opportunity to make a comeback. However, Wei Liao will not give them a real chance to revive. Early, at that time the abolished crown prince was only a weak crown, although the first emperor repeatedly rewarded him, but many years passed after that, Wei Liao's mother was registered successively, and the new one replaced the old one. .

This is related to Wei Chenrui's blood, and when Pei Mi was in charge of power and deceived the saints, he repeatedly made tricks to make him fail the rankings and not be able to face the king.For them, the Princess Mansion is naturally a good place to get ahead.

It is certainly not a one-day effort to win over one's own influence, but for Wei Chenrui, it is much easier because of her husband Fu Xiru and Wei Liao's previous inappropriateness.She is like a spider sitting in the center of the web, weaving it carefully, entrenched in the back, and gradually began to dictate the government.

At first, in everyone's minds, she was nothing more than a ladder to climb to heaven, but after a few months, during the chats in the Princess Mansion, the newlyweds showed their own extraordinary.Even Fu Xiru had to admit in her heart that Wei Chenrui's vision was more outstanding than her father's and her brother's. No wonder her ambition and lust for power were as strong as weeds.If she hadn't been a woman, it might have been done long ago.

Whether a woman in the world struggles to survive, or is greedy and lustful, it is always much more difficult than a man to be justified, even if she is born in a royal family.Because Fu Xiru knew this very well, and because he had seen too many powerful and beautiful women and never saw them clearly, he just silently marveled at the moment, avoided them with excuses, and let Wei Chenrui gather people's hearts and seek fame for herself.

All of this was within Fu Xiru's expectations, including Wei Liaoku's unscrupulous murder of Wei Chenrui, so his face was very ugly. What really surprised him was that Fu Xixing came to him and talked about an unexpected thing.

"Pei Gong has a daughter named Shunniang."

This beginning was extraordinary, Fu Xiru didn't expect it at first, but when he saw Fu Xixing's dignified and embarrassed expression, he understood: "When did it happen?"

Fu Xixing was probably still thinking about how to confess everything, but before he could react, he heard his elder brother ask again: "Do you want to marry her?"

He was silent.
