In response to Duan Yan'er's emotion, Duan Jin shook his head and said, "Senior sister, you are overthinking. I have never thought about doing anything in front of him. Do you really think he can't see the little thoughts of us women? He sees things very clearly, he just doesn’t say anything. If you are with him and you want to win respect, just be your true self in front of him. Don’t use any small tricks. "
"Senior sister, you will know when you enter the palace with him. Don't think about anything. As long as you stay with him wholeheartedly, it will be the biggest competition for favor. When you go back, you should also say this to Da Ru Understand. They are both young, and their experience is still shallow after all. I am not young anymore, and he will always respect me and love me, but our beauty is getting older after all."
"Only they will stay with him for a longer period of time. I actually have selfish motives for pushing them to His Majesty's side. Although I will not hurt him or fight for anything for Dali Country. Because he is mine. My husband is the one I rely on all my life. But Dali is our mother country after all, and I don’t want Dali to perish in the hands of my husband or my son while I’m alive.”
Having said this, Duan Jin stood up and walked to the door, pushing open the door. After a long time, he continued: "My greatest selfishness is that I want Dali to still exist at least while I am alive. So I have always believed that His Majesty cannot live without members of the Duan family. I am getting older every year. From now on, I have to focus more on my children. I don’t have much energy to accompany him.”
"Although I believe that his love for me will never change. But time is not forgiving after all. We are not as good as those young girls. Although the big and small Ru are not named Duan, they still have the Duan family in them. Bloodline. No matter in terms of appearance, figure, or temperament, although it may not be the most suitable candidate. But at least for the sake of Dali, we have to give it a try, right?"
"Although you have a bastard father, I believe that you cannot raise such a bastard daughter. And Da Ru is similar to you, with a very gentle temperament. Compared with other daughters of the Duan family, she may be more suitable. He is better. But their experience is still too shallow, and they need more guidance from you in some aspects. Remember, don’t think about doing those unsavory tricks in front of him."
Listening to Duan Jin's words, Duan Yan'er said quietly: "It's not that I don't understand your thoughts. If you want Da Ru to stay by his side, just tell me. I don't have any problem with you." I won't agree. Why do you insist on pushing me to his side? What is my relationship with Da Ru? What is my relationship with you and Miao'er? If word spreads, will I still have the face to see anyone?"
In response to Duan Yan'er's complaints, Duan Jin turned around and looked at Duan Yan'er, who was already over forty years old, but was still proud of her appearance and figure. He smiled faintly and said: "Senior sister, you still haven't understood his preferences. He has no interest in those green apples at all. If you are not sent to him, do you think he will become a big star? What are you interested in?"
"I did have some selfish motives in pushing you to his side regardless of your relationship. But at least now, you are the most important person. These days, the number of times you have been favored by him is more than that of Da Ru. I don’t need to tell you how many times it has happened. If Da Ru is the ultimate goal and means of my selfishness, then you are the bait used to get His Majesty to take the bait."
After Duan Jin said these words, even though his temper was somewhat innocent. But after all, not only was she born in the royal family of Dali Kingdom, but she had also been the wife of the head of the household for so many years. After all, Duan Yaner was not that kind of stupid person. When Duan Jin finished speaking, she immediately understood the reason: "I understand now that you did this deliberately. You wanted him to feel guilty towards me because of this relationship."
"In the near future, you will pay more attention to Dali Ru, or dote on him more? So that you can at least win some benefits for Dali Country. Duan Jin, you always say that you don't use tricks and scheming in front of him. But what you did Aren't these scheming and means? Aren't you afraid of being seen by him and what impact it will have on you and your son? Those words were said by you yourself. "
Duan Jin smiled slightly at Duan Yan'er's words and said, "I said, don't use scheming and tricks in front of him. But what I said is, don't think about using scheming and tricks to consolidate your position in the palace. Go punish other people. There are some things that can still be done in terms of righteousness. When saying this, you must first distinguish what is the bottom line, what is righteousness, what is small means, and what is great wisdom."
"Also, do you really think he can't understand what I did? It's just that he knows what I am most worried about during this period of time and the reason why I do what I do. His so-called smooth flow, It's just to make me feel at ease. Because he knows that my scheming and skills are never used to deal with the people in the palace. It is not for the sake of fighting for favor, intrigues and power tactics."
"He dotes on me and loves me, but the more this happens, the more I have to figure out what his bottom line is, and the more I have to live up to his love. It's not that I don't have the power to strategize, but I can't do it in the palace. Even if you know how to use it, it is impossible to use it. But Da Ru is still young, and although she is still a little immature, she is from our Duan family. Certain things are still there, and I still have some confidence in this. "
"Both the appearance and figure are good, and it's what he likes. His temperament will follow yours, so it won't be too bad. Given time, the treatment in the palace shouldn't be too bad. But what I'm worried about is that It's just that they are too young. The palace is not as good as the outside. They don't know the depth of some things, and they have violated some of His Majesty's taboos. Therefore, they need you to train them well. "
"I already have a son, and now I'm pregnant again. Your Majesty doesn't want the prince to grow up in the hands of eunuchs. The mother must raise and educate the child herself. Originally, I only had Feng'er, and I was already very busy. Plus, with this in my belly, I won’t have much free time to take care of them. Therefore, after they enter the palace, they mainly rely on you to restrain them."
Duan Yaner naturally knows what Duan Jin means, but that doesn't mean she agrees with Duan Jin's opinion. After Duan Jin said that, thinking of what happened today, Duan Yan'er sneered: "Do you really trust the three of us? What can we help you fight for for Dali? Do you really trust us that much? I'm afraid not necessarily. Today Duan Yu and Duan Yun, who were sent there by you, must have been left behind by you."
"And this Shanchanhou Mansion, all the women of the Duan family might become your pawns. Duan Jin, you can't do this. No matter what your true thoughts are in your heart, Dali is the most powerful country in Daqi's eyes. Er Xiaobang. But the daughters of the Duan family are considered to be royal children after all. Duan Yu also has the title of princess, and Duan Yun is also the princess of the princess. What do you think of them by doing this? "
"Send them to him one by one. It doesn't matter what kind of relationship they have. Now that I'm like this, even if I want to protect myself, I can only endure it helplessly. Anyway, it's already like this, that's all. It doesn’t matter. But what do you think of these girls from the Duan family? They are considered nobles in this country of Dali, but how are they different from those girls in brothels now? "
"Even if we get married, it's not enough for you and Duan Miao to take care of the three of us? You can't send all the Duan family members to him. Do you know that Duan Yu is crying and begging me today to let me help?" Help her. I don’t know how uncomfortable I feel in my heart. It’s not like you don’t know that he is so much older than ordinary people. How can they bear it for the first time? Duan Yu has that weak temperament again.”
Having said this, Duan Yan'er closed her eyes and looked at Duan Jin no longer. "I will remember what you said before. I will find ways to strictly restrain Da Ru. But for other people, Duan Jin, you should stop." Right. You can't fill his harem with all the Duan family. Save some face for the Duan family. Besides, if it really comes to that, he will be jealous."
Duan Jin smiled at Duan Yan'er's words. He walked to Duan Yan'er and reached out to pinch her chin. After Duan Yan'er had no choice but to open her eyes, she carefully looked at Duan Yan'er, whose face was still blushing with a hint of lingering blush, and then said softly: "Sister, it's not good to be too smart. How can you do this to me? I think about it, I'm still very happy. However, senior sister, it's better to focus on His Majesty."
"Of course I have my own reasons for doing this. Senior sister, you should think more about yourself. His Majesty favors senior sister more now. Regarding Da Ru's thoughts, senior sister should think about how to adjust Da Ru's mentality. Don't let them in this Sometimes, something happens. Their temperaments are indeed not bad, but we are all women, and we all know each other’s little thoughts. "
"It's better now when I'm outside. But when I return to the palace, there will be more people in the palace, and my thoughts will become more complicated. Especially when some princes have princes, they breed some people who shouldn't be ambitious. In order to achieve something of their own, , the ends that should not be extravagantly hoped for by oneself, will be unscrupulous. Even the simplest people will change. Big and small Ru still need to put some thought into it. "
"As for Duan Yu, Duan Yun, or other members of the Duan family, I don't need to worry about it, senior sister. Don't worry, the relationship between you will not be spread. Because you will know when you arrive at Jingzhao Mansion. You are not the only one who has the same relationship with you. No one in Jingzhao will laugh at you. At least Shuang'er, Xiaoyao and I are here, no one will say anything, or dare to make irresponsible remarks. "
After patting Duan Yan'er's hand, Duan Jin stood up again. Sitting back in the chair, I didn't know what to think about anymore. Huang Qiong, who had returned to the study, found Zhao Wushu again. After welcoming Huang Qiong to Shanchan Mansion and discussing some matters with Huang Qiong, Guo Chen had already led his army to Weichu Mansion and forced the Emperor of Dali to come to Shanchan Mansion to meet the emperor. When Guo Chenlin set out, Huang Qiong gave him a secret order.
Nowadays, all the kings and ministers of the Dali Kingdom are trapped in Weichufu City by Guo Chen's troops. Now they are sitting in the city of sleepiness, but they can't get out relying on this relatively strong city. He ignored Guo Chen's previous request at all. Huang Qiong had completely lost his patience with Duan Jin, the emperor's nephew. In terms of secret orders, the request for Guo Chen was to use all necessary means to allow him to come to court.
Although Huang Qiong did not directly nod to Guo Chen's request for division of troops to attack Yangjume City. But this all necessary means also replaced his nod. Guo Chen left Shanchan Mansion less than two hours after Huang Qiong entered the city, leading 10,000 troops and horses, plus the 2,000 cavalry given by Huang Qiong. Because Huang Qiong didn't want to worry about these things, Huang Qiong didn't explain them to Duan Jin before.
After entering the Shanchan Mansion, Huang Qiong gave Zhao Wusha an oral order to conduct strict interrogation of the men in the Shanchan Mansion. Before waiting for Zhao Wushu's arrival, Huang Qiong took the list and looked at it repeatedly. Nowadays, Shanchanhou Mansion is quite prosperous, with more than 70 men of the same generation as Wufu.
