The Crown Prince's words slowly dissipated the Prince's anger, he couldn't help but nodded slightly, and said softly: "You are right, this matter is indeed too early, good morning, the longer it drags on, the more it will lead to long nights and more dreams. It's just—"
The prince frowned, and said: "That **** tentatively mentioned something in front of the father. Originally, I hoped that the father would agree easily, so that Zhou Shizhi would have more face and remember my favor, but Who would have thought that Father would—”
The prince hesitated and said: "How long has it been since now? Is it not good to just mention this?"
"What's wrong!" The Crown Princess disapproved, and said, "Royal Father just said it casually! I don't think there is any other meaning, you must be thinking too much! Prince, you are the crown prince, just say something It's inconvenient to say this now, this country will be yours in the future, isn't the backer king also your subject?"
As soon as the girl said that the backer king was ambiguous with Lu Xiaoshu, the princess was stunned: why is she everywhere! This person is simply born to make trouble for himself!
Not only was she embarrassing her own savior, but she was also embarrassing her mother's own sister!
So, as soon as she heard that Zhou Shizhi was back, she planned to cut through the mess quickly and settle this matter quickly! Not only did he get a lot of help for the prince, but also fulfilled the girl's wish, and he was able to hit Lu Xiaoshu well and vent his anger on Lu Yiqing, killing three birds with one stone!
"Although what you said is good, it's just that... the emperor will not take his words seriously. If the emperor is angered, this matter will not be beautiful..."
The prince was very happy after hearing her words, but when he thought of the expression on his father's face when he said that sentence that day, it didn't seem like a casual remark, he still felt a little bit drummed in his heart.
Seeing this, the Crown Princess was secretly unhappy, and she was so ruthless that she wanted to make this happen, otherwise, wouldn't it be that Lu Xiaoshu took advantage of it for nothing
She thought for a while, then sneered: "Even though the crown prince's concerns are reasonable, isn't the crown prince afraid that he will be caught before he can think of a way to get the best of both worlds?"
"What do you mean by that?" The prince heard that there was something in her words.
The crown princess sneered, and said slowly: "Prince, as far as I know, the daughter of Marquis Changping, Miss Lu Er, is also interested in the backer king! And you also know that the queen mother has something wrong with her, and she likes that man very much." The second girl of the Lu family, if anything happens—"
"How do you know? Where did you hear that?" The prince frowned suddenly.
Seeing that he was moved, the concubine immediately cheered up, and hurriedly said: "Prince, don't worry about this, you just need to know that the news is reliable! We are husband and wife, so it is possible that I will cheat the prince!"
The prince was stunned, and suddenly laughed again, and said lightly: "Even if it is true, so what? Changping Hou is also from the prince's side. Their family is married to the backer king, and it has no effect on the prince! To put it bluntly,"
The prince glanced at the princess and said, "You are just for your natal sister!"
The princess was a little embarrassed by what he said, and sneered: "I know what the prince means! The Marquis of Changping saved the life of the queen mother, and the prince regards him as one of his own. But you must know that this person is so heartbroken! Hmph, Changping The reason why Hou saved his mother back then was to regain his title, nothing else! In this case, if someone promised him greater benefits, would you tell him whether he would be tempted? If the Lu family and the backer king married In-laws, but in the end they don't agree with the crown prince, the crown prince, isn't the gain outweighed the loss!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The prince was very unhappy when he heard this.
Seeing his displeasure, the Crown Princess hurriedly said: "I didn't say that it must be the case, but there is such a possibility, isn't it? Now that there is a better choice, why would the Crown Prince take this risk? Hmph, Concubine Sun Gui and the four The prince is not so desireless on the surface, this is something we don't believe, who knows if they will play tricks secretly? Besides, Huier is the sister of my first mother, even if I have selfish intentions for her Think about it, why not!"
"That's enough, that's enough!" The prince became impatient, and waved his hand: "Isn't it just a little thing? Talking about so much truth! Well, I'll just bring it up again when I find a chance!"
"Really?" The Crown Princess was overjoyed, she hurriedly got up and saluted and said with a smile: "The concubine thanked the prince! How about tomorrow? The prince will invite the patron king to the East Palace tomorrow! The concubine will also bring Hui'er. After seeing Huier, he knew that this marriage was a match made in heaven! Huier is more than enough for him!"
"What are you doing!" The prince frowned suddenly, and said: "The lonely king is investigating the case now, and the emperor's father and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all watching. It's hard to make progress, but you let the lonely king do it in the middle of it." ? This falls into the eyes of the father, how will the lonely king look? Isn’t the previous efforts of the lonely king in vain? Wait, let’s talk about this case when the truth comes out!”
The Crown Princess felt angry and anxious all of a sudden: What I said for a long time just now is all nonsense! The result still has to wait!
She moved her lips and wanted to speak again, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she hurriedly smiled and said: "Prince, this concubine has another good idea! Why don't you ask the queen mother to come forward and talk about this matter, what do you think?" "
"That's right!" The prince's eyes lit up as well, and he said with a smile, "If you ask the queen mother to come forward, it will be a knot! The father always respects the queen mother. If you tell the queen mother in detail, the queen mother will naturally help me! Well, you can help me with this matter." Go into the palace and talk to the queen mother! The lonely king is not free, so he left first!"
"Yes, the concubine sent the prince off respectfully!" The princess was so happy that she didn't care whether he wanted to leave or not.
As soon as the prince left, the concubine immediately ordered to make up and change clothes, and she wanted to go to the palace immediately to find the queen.
The princess was too anxious, when she arrived at Kunning Palace, the queen hadn't gotten up from her afternoon nap, so she had to wait in the side hall.
Not long after the queen got up, Aunt Qing smiled and said: "I don't know if there is something urgent to see the empress, the princess has been here for a while, Zhenghou is in the side hall!"
"Her?" The queen sat firmly in front of the vanity mirror, looked at the makeup in the mirror, and said indifferently: "She always said that the wind is the rain, and she is frizzy, and she doesn't know what to say!"
Aunt Qing smiled and said: "It seems to be a good thing, the servant girl is smiling when she looks at the Crown Princess Concubine!"
"Oh?" The queen was a little interested when she heard what she said, and said with a smile: "This is so strange! Hurry up, I can't wait!"
The female officer who combed her hair agreed in a low voice, and her hands became more agile.
After a while, the queen finished her grooming and came out gracefully in a large phoenix robe embroidered with orange and red embroidered golden phoenix facing the sun. With a flick of her sleeves, she sat on the phoenix couch and ordered the female attendant to call the princess.
The Crown Princess couldn't wait for the sound, so she hurried into the hall, smiled and bowed her knees to pay her respects.
The queen raised her hand and said "Pingshen", seeing that her face was full of joy and excitement, she smiled and said: "Look at you in such a hurry, tell me, what is it that you are so anxious to see Bengong!"
The Crown Princess smiled and said: "The concubine really wants to ask the queen mother for help! This is a happy event, and the queen mother will make it even better!"
"Oh? What happy event?" The Queen smiled.
The concubine laughed and said: "The sister of the concubine's natal family is married to the king of the mountain! The concubine wants to ask the queen mother to order a marriage!"
"Your natal sister? The king of the mountain?" The queen's eyes flashed, her expression slightly dignified.
"Yes, in this way, the two families will be relatives by marriage, and the backer king will serve the prince better in the future." The princess nodded and smiled.
"In that case, why did you think about asking me to give you a marriage again?" The queen didn't answer, but asked with a smile.
The Crown Princess' expression froze, not daring to lie in front of the queen, so she could only explain the matter with a smile.
"Confused!" These are the two words that the queen said after listening, frowning and said: "The prince is from this palace, what is the difference between this palace bestowing marriage and the prince personally saying this matter? Now the prince is trying the case At a critical juncture, wouldn’t it be a little inappropriate to talk about this matter now! Besides, since the emperor said that before, now you insist on repeating the old matter to play against the emperor, and you also want to drag me into the matter. Do you want the emperor to even blame me!"
"The concubine dare not!" The princess did not expect that the queen would reprimand herself instead of agreeing, and her heart was poured with cold water, and she argued: "Father was just a joke at the beginning. Say, Queen Mother—”
"Bold!" The queen shouted in a low voice: "The emperor's golden words, what are you talking about as a joke! I see that you are getting worse! If you continue to do this, you will kill the prince sooner or later! The king of the mountain has made great contributions to saving him. Isn’t it just that the crown prince’s eagerness to win him over makes the emperor feel unhappy? Maybe the emperor has already made up his mind about his marriage, so don’t mention it again!”
The Crown Princess felt unwilling, and raised her eyes to speak, but the Queen's face darkened: "Is there anything else?"
"Mother, "If it's other things, the princess will never dare to say anything else when the queen talks about it, but this matter is different, she can't take advantage of that girl of the Lu family for nothing! So he bit the bullet and said: "Mother, the backer king married the concubine's sister, which is also a great help to the prince! Mother, you always love the prince and think about the prince, why can't you help this time?"
The queen felt powerless when she saw that she was still entangled in what she had said so clearly. If she refuses again, she is sure that she will continue to do so endlessly!
Sometimes it is unreasonable for the princess to be stubborn.
"Forget it," the queen said after a moment of pondering: "You go back first! Let me think about this matter again!"
"But Queen Mother, things change sooner or later! It's just a matter of saying a word, you just need to send a little eunuch to the King's Mansion of the Backing Mountain to deliver a word of mouth, how about—"
"Shut up!" The queen was really angry, staring at her and said coldly: "What are you doing? Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"The concubine dare not!" The Crown Princess' complexion changed slightly, and she knelt down, but her expression was extremely persistent.
