But it will inevitably give people a feeling of inflexibility.
So much so that it seems that the entire imperial court has praises and criticisms for each queen, and when it comes to the queen princess, there is only one sentence, no backer, cowardly and timid, and sooner or later she will be dragged down from this position.
But if you think about it the other way around, what if this is the image Chu Ci wants them to see
Then Chu Ci must have been hidden too deeply, right
Hearing what Xiao Qi said, Prime Minister Xiao's heart tightened.
The joking emotion in her eyes faded a lot, the corners of her lips pursed slightly, and her aged face was somewhat serious.
There is no casual elegance that is used to in court.
"Xiao Qi, are you saying that the Empress Dowager is not what we have seen or imagined?"
Xiao Qi nodded.
After that, the winning position can be seen.
With some thought in his eyes, Prime Minister Xiao suddenly asked again, "Now that the empress is getting older and her body is getting worse every day, if our prime minister's mansion is to stand in line now, Xiaoqi, which side do you think we should stand on?" ?”
In the past, she might have been more inclined towards the third princess.
Although Prince Gong was favored by the empress alone and had outstanding talents and learning, but he was praised as high above him since he was a child, so he was inevitably infected with arrogance and conceit. He had no basic respect for anyone, and his moral character was not good.
As a king, if you are not good at morality, how can you take on great responsibilities
In contrast, although the third emperor's daughter is not as powerful as Prince Gong, her background is not weak, and her talents and learning are good. What's more rare is that the third emperor's daughter has a good character and a good reputation among the people.
Xiao Qi picked up the cup again and looked at the tea leaves floating in the cup.
The corners of her lips were pursed lightly, and then she said, "Mother means, has it reached this point?"
The prime minister was noncommittal.
"Mother wanted to be the third princess, right?"
Prime Minister Xiao nodded.
"But the three emperors value the Jing family very much. Jing Mu will enter the third emperor's room as her husband in the next year. She has talked with her mother several times before, but she was always rejected by her mother. If they go again now, they may not want to Not happy."
Xiao Xi let out a lazy laugh and took a sip of tea.
Prime Minister Xiao nodded.
It was this reason that made her hesitate.
Although the relationship between the Jing family and the Xiao family is not bad, and Xiao Qi and Jing Mu grew up together, but because of this good relationship, she knows the current members of the Jing family quite well.
It's too late for no profit, even if the third princess welcomes them, the Jing family will silently regard the Xiao family as their opponents.
And the Jing family always loves to play dirty tricks, and they have to be cautious when getting along with the Jing family on weekdays, not to mention that the Jing family has deliberately let Jing Mu use their own son's words many times.
What if he really stood in line for the third princess? At that time, I'm afraid it will end badly.
"Then you want to stand in line with the Crown Princess? But the Crown Princess Party also has the Hu family, Hu Xun."
Prime Minister Xiao raised his brows, wanting to hear what Xiao Qi planned to say about this.
"What's your mother's opinion of Hu Xun?"
Probably because drinking tea was a bit monotonous, Xiao Qi asked while waving to the servants at the door, signaling them to bring some snacks.
The servants responded, and after a while, they brought out a few plates of small dishes.
"Dedicated to her duties but stubborn, she always seems a little ignorant, which makes people wonder if there is something wrong with her mind."
