"He'er, is it true that as you said, Long Live Master can't bear to see us chasing after you so fiercely?"
"The prince is deeply favored by the emperor. He was the candidate for the prince many years ago. Now the prince is imprisoned in the East Palace. Although the father is angry with him, he is probably a little heartbroken. Naturally, he can't bear to see others adding insult to injury." Lu Zhihe thought for a long time. Then he sighed again, "It's just that if we don't take the opportunity to severely suppress the prince, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have such a good opportunity in the future. As long as the Queen Mother is around, my father will definitely give Xu a face, not even Have Xu Deliang's crimes been absolved? If this goes on for a long time, the prince's crimes will probably be forgotten sooner or later. "
Concubine Wan Gui also sighed: "Your father is starting to guard against us now, but he has taken advantage of Concubine Li and the fifth prince. The mother and son we used to look down on are now more and more mature."
Lu Zhihe said in a deep voice: "Concubine Mother, there is no need to be so disheartened. Although Concubine Li temporarily gained face in front of her father, Concubine Li's mother's family is only a middle-class family after all. How can it compare to ours over the years?" Working hard? Besides, the fifth prince is only sixteen years old, what can he do?"
Concubine Wan Gui snorted coldly: "Huh, what you said is easy. If you really win the favor of Lord Long live, what if you don't have the support of your mother's family? In the past, the eldest prince lost his mother early, and his mother's family was even more incompetent. He is not He is the most favored by Lord Long Live? Even now, I still feel trembling when I think of Lord Long Live's love for him. Fortunately, there was a flash flood in the Lancang River that year, otherwise... "
"Yes, that flash flood did come in time. If the southern Xinjiang army had won a complete victory in the battle of Hue that year, and the eldest brother's legs were not disabled, and he returned to the court in victory, it would be unimaginable..." Lu Zhihe nodded and sighed, "Even though Lu Zhiyue later won the favor of his father and entered the East Palace, he could not compare with the eldest brother of the year."
Concubine Wan Gui took a sip of tea and suddenly asked: "By the way, why do I think Lord Wan Live's attitude towards the eldest prince has changed recently?"
Lu Zhihe nodded: "There has indeed been a change. During the last hunt, didn't my father specially call the eldest brother? In front of so many people, he even talked and laughed with the eldest brother. In the past, we always felt that our father The emperor is trying to remind the queen and the prince not to be too arrogant. Now I think the person my father wants to remind is not just the prince. "
After a pause, Concubine Wan Gui hesitated and said, "Do you think your father still has any thoughts about the eldest prince?"
"That's not the case," Lu Zhihe shook his head and said immediately, "If my father still had hope in the eldest brother, he would not let the eldest brother marry Princess Anle. Princess Anle's identity and reputation are both It's so unbearable and without the support of my mother's family, my father would not have thought of this. "
"That's right, that's because I'm overly concerned," Concubine Wan Gui nodded and said, "In that case, you might as well get closer to the eldest prince. Since he is not a threat and has been in the army for many years, go with him. It’s so close, but it doesn’t catch your eye, and there are still many good things to come.”
Lu Zhihe said with a smile: "Didn't my mother pave the way and build bridges for my sons early in the morning? The eldest brother is very satisfied with the wedding that my mother hosted for him and Princess Anle."
Concubine Wan Gui curled her lips: "Speaking of which, we also took advantage of the queen's loss of power, but we have to be careful about that bitch Concubine Li in the future."
