Poor Family

Shi Fuxin and Xiahou Huanyan went to the gazebo to hide from the right and wrong, but the wrong still came to the door.

There is no other reason, the princes have arrived.

Princess Yong'an got married. In order to show the royal brotherhood, the eldest prince, prince and other princes all attended the wedding banquet.

The news that Shi Fuxin was the apprentice of the old man Tianchi and the junior sister of Zhan Miracle Doctor had spread throughout the capital, and now everyone knew that she was the master of the First Prince.

The master and the apprentice appeared at the same banquet at the same time. According to the etiquette, the apprentice should come to pay a visit to the master anyway, but not only did the eldest prince not come to see Shi Fuxin, even the eldest prince and concubine did not come to see the ceremony. state.

"The eldest prince probably doesn't want to recognize Shi Fuxin as his master."

"If I were the First Prince, I wouldn't recognize it either."

Listening to the gossip in his ears, Xiahou Huanyan looked at Shi Fuxin a little hesitant to speak.

When Shi Fuxin saw it, she took the initiative to ask, "Sister Xiahou, what do you want to say?"

Xiahou Huanyan sighed: "Sister Xin, I actually like your temperament very much. It is precisely because I like you that I want to say a few more words."

"Fame is not important, but it is very important. At least the princes cherish their reputation."

Shi Fuxin understood what Xiahou Huanyan meant, it was related to the battle for the heir apparent, and it was not good for her to reveal the fact that the eldest prince had been angry with her a long time ago, and said with a light smile: "The eldest prince doesn't recognize me, I still think It's a good thing, it just saves a lot of trouble."

Xia Houhuan's face disagreed: "Everything has advantages and disadvantages. If you marry into an ordinary family, it is not easy to get involved with the prince. But now that you are the daughter-in-law of the palace, the situation is different."

"I know your worries, but the battle between princes and clans cannot be avoided."

"My ancestors married me into the Prince Gong's Mansion because they also valued that everything in the Prince Gong's Mansion should not be messed with. But after I married into the Prince's Mansion, I realized that some fights can't be avoided if you just want to."

"When we marry the royal family, we are already in the vortex of power struggle."

"Even if you don't associate with the eldest prince, outsiders will still regard you as a party. Since you can't avoid it, why not think about how to use this relationship to make your life better."

"If you have the eldest prince as your backer, your life in the palace will be easier."

Shi Fuxin could feel that Xiahou Huanyan was confiding in her heart, and looked over with gleaming eyes: "Sister Xiahou, I don't like looking for a backer, I like to be a backer for others."

Hearing these domineering words, Xiahou Huanyan's heart shook, and then she nodded Shi Fuxin's forehead in a funny way: "You girl, I'm talking about business with you."

Seeing Xiahou Huanyan, Shi Fuxin thought she was joking, so she just smiled without explaining.

This appearance made Xiahou Huanyan think that Shi Fuxin didn't listen to her words, so she had no choice but to continue: "Sister Xin, I know you are a strong and capable person, you are not an ordinary person who only stares at the one-acre three-point land in the backyard Ordinary lady, but you have to remember that in the royal family, no matter how strong a person is, it is nothing."

Hearing this, Shi Fuxin's complexion straightened.

Xiahou Huanyan looked at Shi Fuxin: "Have you ever thought about what people in our position should do?"

"It's the distribution of power."

"If you want to distribute power, you must first have power."

"Where does power come from, that's what we should seek."

Fuxin was a little surprised when she heard these words, she believed that Xiahou Huanyan really treated her as one of her own when she told her these things, but this did not prevent Xiahou Huanyan from making plans for her husband's family and her mother's family.

Prince Gong's mansion and Xiahou's family of Duke Dingguo's mansion are interested in the eldest prince? Want to pass her and get on the line of the First Prince?

Seeing that Shi Fuxin was silent, Xiahou Huanyan didn't continue, and instead talked about some relatively light topics.

"I also know a thing or two about the situation in Prince Rong's Mansion. I know that the people in the Palace are not easy to get along with. However, if you openly confront the elders as soon as you enter the door, you will eventually get it right."

"There are too many rumors and rumors, and the false ones become true."

Shi Fuxin didn't stay silent anymore: "Sister Xiahou, do you think they will treat me kindly if I choose to show my favor to the old concubine?"

Now, it was Xiahou Huanyan's turn to be silent.

Shi Fuxin continued: "They won't. For the old concubine, I was not chosen by her. For King Rong, because of my existence, he ruined his plan for Chu Zhao's future. No matter what I do No matter how good it is, they won't accept me."

"The next thing is, look at how the people in the palace treat Chu Yao. They don't even care about their own blood, let alone me, a bride who doesn't suit their wishes."

"I always feel that the way people get along with each other has been decided from the first meeting and the first conflict."

"If I choose to compromise and make them feel that I can be bullied, then in the future, they will only bully me even more."

"I also want a good reputation, but compared to living a comfortable life and being true to myself, I choose the latter."

"Even if I suffer all kinds of criticism and trouble because of it, I think it's fine."

Hearing these words, Xiahou Huanyan didn't know what to say for a while.

She agrees with Shi Fuxin's actions from the bottom of her heart, and she is also very envious. Not everyone has the courage to dare to do this.

The good reputation that most people talk about is essentially obtained by their own compromises and concessions, and few people do not feel aggrieved.

Sister Xin knows the consequences of offending the elders of the palace so much, and can bear the consequences, so what else can she say.

Under Shi Fuxin's intentional avoidance, everyone had no chance of making trouble, and the wedding of Princess Yong'an and Shi Dinghao went smoothly.

Three days later, Princess Yong'an returned home.

In Prince Rong's mansion, Princess Guan sent her maid to inform Shi Fuxin early in the morning, asking her to follow her into the palace later to attend Princess Yong'an's homecoming banquet.

When Shi Fuxin heard this, she immediately frowned.

The palace is a place of right and wrong, and she doesn't want to enter the palace.

"Madam, the third master is in the mansion, do you want to talk to him about it?"

Shi Fuxin nodded, got up and went to the study.

Chu Yao was lazily sitting on the chair with half-undressed clothes. When she saw Shi Fuxin coming in, she made a 'chuckle', quickly straightened her clothes and sat up straight.

When Shi Fuxin saw it, she couldn't help but froze.

Chu Yao also realized that his reaction seemed a little big, so he hurriedly said, "Is there something wrong?"

Shi Fuxin nodded, and cut straight to the point: "Princess Yong'an returned home today, and my concubine asked me to enter the palace to participate in the homecoming banquet. I don't want to go, can I refuse?"

Chu Yao shook his head: "No, the emperor also ordered me to attend Princess Yong'an's homecoming banquet yesterday."

Shi Fuxin frowned: "Why would the emperor care about such a thing?"

Chu Yao looked at her: "You are the master of the eldest prince, the emperor does not want to see me and the eldest prince getting too close, you must be mentally prepared for the banquet."

Shi Fuxin was silent.
