Chapter 459 The Miracle Doctor Treats All Kinds of Dissatisfaction 12
Yunyan shook her head slightly and took a sip of tea before speaking.
"Your Highness, you know that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."
"This treasure can be presented to the Emperor by any prince, but not by you, Your Highness. Instead of becoming the target of public criticism, why don't you sit back and reap the benefits?"
Nangong Yun laughed at himself after he realized what was happening.
"Ms. Jiang is very smart, and I was blinded by power for a moment."
"In that case, of course I have to give this wonderful treasure to my dear brother!"
"Miss Jiang, please wait. Tomorrow at noon, the Third Brother will definitely bring the treasures from the mansion to exchange."
Yunyan smiled and raised the teacup to gesture to Nangong Yun.
Nangong Yun was a little confused, but still picked up the teacup.
Yunyan clinked her cup against hers and said with a smile, "Cheers!"
Nangong Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Yunyan's behavior was always so unexpected. She drank tea as if it were alcohol.
Nangong Yun went back and told the matter to the third prince Nangong Yunrui, who immediately praised his sister.
I can even find the Kunshan Jade Cicada. It seems that this is really a great help to me.
Isn't it just to produce some treasures? His house is full of rare treasures. Every year, his father will reward him with a lot of treasures, and his mother will also give him a lot of treasures.
It is totally worth exchanging those vulgar things for the Kunshan Jade Cicada.
The emperor's father is getting older and older, and he is somewhat sensitive about his age. If he presents the Kunshan Jade Cicada to his father, it will mean that his father's weight in his heart will increase.
The position of crown prince will be his sooner or later, and those illegitimate brothers are not worthy of competing with him.
The next day, Yunyan saw Nangong Yun's brother Nangong Yunrui at the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
This is a very noble man, with a sense of pride between his brows.
Although his words were polite, his facial expressions did not show much respect.
"I guess you are the Miss Jiang that my imperial sister mentioned! Please take a seat!"
Just as Yunyan sat down, Nangong Yunrui sent someone to bring up a box of treasures.
"There are treasures in here, many of which are tributes from other small countries. These are enough to exchange with you for the Kunshan Jade Cicada!"
Yunyan raised her eyebrows and looked at Nangong Yun, then she nodded imperceptibly.
Yunyan didn't beat around the bush. She didn't like to talk to such proud people.
He simply took out the prepared brocade box and pushed it over.
"Thank you, Third Prince. This is the treasure you wanted."
Nangong Yunrui opened it and took a look. This legendary Kunshan Jade Cicada was indeed exquisite. He carefully closed the brocade box and hid it in his sleeve.
"Hmph, you are sensible. In that case, I will take my leave."
Nangong Yunrui came and left in a hurry, fearing that he would be tainted by Yunyan's poor and unlucky aura.
Nangong Yun watched his brother leave before sitting down silently.
"Don't blame me, Miss Jiang. My brother is indeed a little arrogant."
"nothing."
Yunyan smiled and said she didn't care, saying that as a prince, he would definitely look down on common people like them.
It is normal to be arrogant and condescending. After all, this is an era where identity is determined by bloodline.
"Your Highness, now that the matter has been settled, let's just wait and see the result. Your Highness, please help me deposit these treasures into the Tiandi Bank."
Nangong Yun nodded in agreement, and the two of them sat in the middle of the pavilion on the lake and barbecued.
That's right. Yunyan thought it was too boring to just drink tea every time she went there, so of course she had to eat barbecue in such a cold weather.
This time she asked Nangong Yun to prepare the charcoal stove and meat, and she provided the wire mesh and seasonings.
The two people who were supposed to be drinking tea elegantly started eating barbecue. Nangong Yun suddenly felt that he was a lot more down-to-earth.
Looking at the barbecue that Yunyan put on her plate, Nangong Yun wondered if it would taste good.
After actually eating it, she found that it was quite delicious.
Yunyan smiled. This was made using her secret seasoning, so it would be strange if it didn’t taste good.
While eating, Yunyan suddenly talked about Nangong Yun's power.
"Your Highness cannot be alone now, you must have your own power in the court!"
Speaking of this, Nangong Yun was also a little annoyed.
"I am limited by my status. Most of the officials in the court are members of the prince's party. It is difficult for me to have people supporting me."
"Although I have contacts with the supporters of my Third Brother, they are a bunch of old people who only support my Third Brother."
Yunyan asked, "Are there any neutral factions in the court?"
Nangong Yun nodded.
"Of course there are, but they are all self-righteous civil servants, and most of them are old. Their ideas are so pedantic that it is difficult for me to win them over."
Speaking of this, Nangong Yun suddenly thought of someone.
"There is one person who is suitable to be won over."
Yunyan raised her eyebrows and cooperated with the inquiry.
"Who?"
Nangong Yun said: "This year's new number one scholar is called Xiao Yunhe. He is the first number one scholar in this dynasty to pass the three highest examinations. Everyone in the court wants to win over him."
"But he has a weird temper and doesn't like to socialize. The emperor gave him some sinecure positions, and gradually no one interacted with him anymore."
Yunyan lowered her eyes and thought. She did have an impression of this year's top scholar.
When the results were announced, the imperial court widely publicized that the top scholar who won the top three places in the imperial examination was a blessing from heaven.
The old emperor might really have regarded Xiao Yunhe as a mascot.
After all, the Wei Dynasty has suffered frequent floods in the past three years and really needs such an auspicious sign.
Yunyan nodded and said, "He can try to win him over. I think the New Year's Eve banquet is a good opportunity."
Nangong Yun also thought it was feasible. After all, having one more helper in the court would increase her chances of success.
"Okay, I'll try to make friends."
Yunyan continued, "You must have your own power in the court, and you must also have power outside. I opened a school in the capital, which has both male and female students."
"Some are suitable for the imperial examinations, some are suitable for business, some are suitable for studying medicine, and some are suitable for learning martial arts."
"As the saying goes, a strong youth makes a strong country, Your Highness. If someone helps the cause, then there will be no worries about not having people to use in the future."
Nangong Yun was impressed by Yu Yunyan's attentiveness, as she had made preparations early.
Yes! The old ministers in the court are unreliable, but they will eventually retire.
Then why not build up your own power first? It is better to rely on yourself than on others.
Nangong Yun nodded sincerely, and then affirmed: "Then, I will be the one who adds fuel to the flames."
Yunyan smiled. After all, she was just an ordinary person with limited abilities.
With the help of Princess Nangong Yun, it will save time and effort.
Nangong Yun was in a very happy mood.
She no longer has any doubts about Yunyan now. After all, everything Yunyan does is for her consideration.
What's more, don't employ people you doubt, and don't doubt people you employ.
She saw through Yunyan's character, and such a person would definitely not like a hypocrite like the eldest prince.
Yunyan is now staying in the eldest prince's mansion. On the surface, she is the eldest prince Nangong Jing's person. Maybe she can confuse the enemy!
Thinking of this, the smile on Nangong Yun's lips was harder to suppress than AK.
Yunyan just looked at her and smiled foolishly without saying anything.
By the time Nangong Yun came to his senses, the barbecue had already entered Yunyan's stomach.
This woman is really cunning.
"Hey, leave some for me!"
