Twin Brocade

Chapter 694
But for many families of courtiers who are still waiting and watching, Fang Shuyu's defection to the King of Qi makes them puzzled.

The Fang family is an upstart in the imperial court, and all the in-laws are courtiers with real power.Could it be that they knew something extraordinary and made this risky decision resolutely?
You know, even if the prince is not as good as before, his power has risen greatly because of Guan Jinghuan's clear statement.This time the disaster relief has been meritorious, and when the order is restored, Emperor Qinglong will definitely reward him.

King Qi, what can we use to compete with him.

But with Fang Shuyu, coupled with Qi Wang's reputation as a virtuous and corporal, the hearts of the younger generation of officials have unconsciously moved closer to Qi Wang.

In just a few days, King Qi had recruited several talented people, which made him overjoyed.

The wind direction of the situation in the court suddenly became extremely favorable to King Qi.

But those ministers who were more mature and prudent, as well as the aristocratic families who were accustomed to the vicissitudes of life, stood still and waited for the prince to return to Beijing before making plans.

Fang Shuyu's decision became the most concerned thing in Beijing for a while.The lives of the people are as usual, but it has a profound impact on the political situation in the DPRK.

In the afternoon, a carriage drove in from the side door of Fangfu.

When he arrived at the Chuihua Gate, Fang Jinhui helped the servant girl out of the carriage, straightened his temples, and walked in.It's not a year or a festival right now, Fang Jinhui came back because he had something important to do.

Yanxia followed Si Lansheng's order to wait here, and rushed to meet her: "My aunt is back, please come in quickly."

Long time no see, her cheeks are rounder than before she got married, and her complexion is as lustrous as jade.Wearing the flowing cloud bun that is common to women, a gilt begonia bead hairpin is inserted, and tassels as thin as cicada's wings hang down from her ears, her figure is charming.

Apparently, she had a good time married.Gong Wenjue is a responsible man, just as he promised before marriage, he did not let her be wronged.

"Mother." Fang Jinhui arrived in Mingyu Courtyard, looked at all the familiar scenes, walked quickly a few steps, and stepped into the house.

Si Lansheng hurriedly helped her up, looked left and right, nodded and said: "I told you that you don't need to come back, my husband's family treats you well, and you don't want to be spoiled."

A married girl is someone else's daughter-in-law.

The Fang family is now on the cusp of crisis, and when Fang Jinhui comes back at this juncture, Si Lansheng is worried that it will be difficult for her to behave in her husband's family.

"Mother, don't worry about me." Fang Jinhui smiled and said, "My husband asked me to come back this time."

"Oh?" Si Lansheng was a little surprised.

After Fang Shuyu became Zhan of Qi Wangfu, even Zhu Zihou was alienated from him.Obviously, the prime minister does not want to be involved in this fight for the heir.

Zhu Zihou was getting old, and Emperor Qinglong had been cultivating and promoting newcomers.In the court, everyone has a tacit understanding, knowing that his position as prime minister is at most only this dynasty.

Therefore, on many matters, Zhu Zihou has always remained neutral and sought stability.

The Fang family needed to forge ahead, but for the Zhu family it was the complete opposite.Fang Shuyu understood what he did, when he decided to become Zhan Shiqi of Prince Qi's residence, he was mentally prepared for this.

The Fang family will no longer be courtiers attached to the tail of the Zhu family, and the Zhu family will no longer protect them.

The road ahead will depend on Fang Shuyu's own efforts.Lost asylum, but it also means a wider world.Now the mark on the Fang family is King Qi.

As for the Gong family, they have always maintained a neutral attitude in the court, impartial.

Gong Wenjue asked Fang Jinhui to come back to her mother's house at this time. How could the attitude behind this not make Si Lansheng think more?
She waved her hand to let Yanxia lead the servants in the house to retreat, and asked carefully: "Is this what Wen Jue meant, or what your father-in-law meant?" These are two completely different things, representing completely different meanings.

The two families are only in-laws, and it is common for in-laws to hold different political stances.

Fang Jinhui sat down next to Si Lansheng, and said, "Husband asked me to come back and take a look. If there is anything I need to help, I can help you." Although the meaning of this sentence is unclear, the kindness in it is fully revealed.It seems that the Gong family agrees with Fang Shuyu's choice.

"Hui'er, go back and tell Wen Jue that I understand."

In terms of selfishness, Si Lansheng's heart is contradictory.

She hoped that the Gong family would show their attitude and become a staunch ally of the Fang family, but she also did not want the Gong family to be involved too deeply.

Is the road of seizing the heirloom so easy?

In case King Qi fails to inherit the great power, one can imagine what will happen to the Fang family.Fang Jinhui is already married. Generally speaking, the crime is worse than that of a married woman.With the ability of the Gong family, they can protect her.

"It's better than anything else if you're doing well. Don't worry about family affairs. Your father is here."

"How can my daughter not worry about it?" Fang Jinhui said: "I just heard that my sister was ill a few days ago. I have been thinking about it all the time. Now there is such a big incident at home."

Fortunately, she was married well, so she had this opportunity to come back and have a look.

If she was in a husband's family who was afraid of getting into trouble, how could she have the opportunity to set foot in the house.

"It's good for the two of you sisters to have a small relationship, let's go and have a look." Si Lansheng thought, maybe Fang Jinshu would feel better after seeing the eldest sister.

"What's wrong with my sister? The servant said she was suffering from a cold, but how could she be sick for so long after catching a cold?"

Si Lansheng sighed, and said: "I see, it seems to be a heart attack. You know, her marriage has not been going well. The Tan family's matter has been talked about since the year before last, and it has not been settled until now."

After Emperor Qinglong returned to Beijing, the Zhu family held an osmanthus flower banquet, but Fang Shuyu's name was missing from the guest list.Si Lansheng understands that the Zhu family wants to keep a distance from the Fang family, at least on the bright side, Zhu Zihou can no longer regard the Fang family as his own.

Therefore, under these changes, it is not yet known what the Tan family plans to do now.

"Mother," Fang Jinhui said softly, "Why did father suddenly make such a decision?" As far as she knew, father had been reluctant to express his position between the crown prince and King Qi.

The foundation of the Fang family is weak after all, and cannot withstand such a big storm.

Si Lansheng shook his head and said, "I don't know either. But since he has made a decision, I will fully support him."

"Then, what did grandfather say?" Fang Jinhui asked.

When mentioning the Si family, the light in Si Lansheng's eyes dimmed, and he said, "Your grandfather, you don't plan to go into this muddy water." Her own father didn't support her, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Mother, don't worry, maybe gradually, grandfather will be able to figure it out." Fang Jinhui comforted her.

In fact, Si Lansheng was not surprised by the attitude of the Si family.

Every family has its own considerations.After all, they are her biological parents. If they can remain neutral and watch on the sidelines, they will not be implicated if something happens, which is fine.

It's just that this truth is easy to understand, but Si Lansheng still felt a little sad when faced with it.Emotionally, it's really hard to accept.
