Chapter Ninety-Three: Cousins
"This little ten hours looked a little well-behaved, but now he is also cunning." The concubine snorted lightly when she heard this, and said, "It's also Gongxiang who is not angry, he is a few years older than the younger ten, and he has not been restless over the years, but he still looks at the little ten being held by the stars, and it has not been two years since he himself is in charge, and he doesn't even know that he is in a hurry." β
persuaded left and right: "Don't worry, your majesty heard this, although he didn't blame, but he didn't say anything." It can be seen that even if he thinks that the ten princes are smart, it is only like that. Moreover, the heirs of the knees of the middle palace are not harmonious, but it is an open secret. It's like the royal heirs in front of Niangniang, as if they were born from their mothers, and they advance and retreat together! Your Majesty doesn't say it, how can you not consider the future prince's tolerance? Like the Ten Princes, he can't tolerate the brother raised by his adoptive mother, and he is still harsh and stupid in private. This is still when His Majesty and the Queen are here, if he becomes the prince, he will ...... in the future Wouldn't the royal family want to repeat the early years of the Divine Sect? β
"Your Majesty is wise and martial, and he will definitely not allow it."
Yun Fenghuang shook his head and said: "No one is perfect, not to mention that all the princes are young now, in the eyes of people like Your Majesty, when is it not full of flaws?" Therefore, don't look at this little ten's lack of temperament and demeanor, but in the eyes of His Majesty, as long as he is smart enough and a material that can be made, these are nothing. To put it bluntly, His Majesty has never really made a move to adjust the Pope's heir. Before, Xiao Shi and Twelve lived in the side hall of Taichu Palace, and they were probably just palace maids to take care of them, and His Majesty occasionally asked about schoolwork. If Your Majesty really makes up his mind, then he will be the future prince of the teachings of the Eight Classics! β
"So don't look at the shortcomings of these children and think you can sit back and relax."
"You don't want to think about it, if Xiao Shi's temperament is hopeless in the eyes of His Majesty, why does His Majesty reprimand him?"
"The second prince and the third prince, whether they work hard or slack, do you think Your Majesty has paid attention to it?"
Chunjia is actually very tolerant of his heirs, and he doesn't expect the princess to inherit the throne, and the prince who takes the initiative to give up.
As for the prince who intends to compete for the crown prince, the emperor is not very harsh: he knows very well that a child of this age cannot be exhaustive, even if it seems to be comprehensive, it can only prove that the elders behind him are powerful, and the child is obedient.
So in the emperor's thoughts, he doesn't care how many problems these heirs have, such as the domineering of the King of Qin, the indisputability of the Seven Princes, the laziness of the Nine Emperors, the escape of the King of Jin, and of course, the importance of the Ten Princes' biological mothers and harsh brothers...... These questions are placed on the temple, and they are all reasons not to be suitable for becoming a prince.
But Chunjia doesn't care, he looks at his strengths now.
As long as he thinks that the most critical imperial quality is qualified, pick one with the best qualifications, and then he will slowly teach the East Palace in his mind.
After all, the emperor himself has grown up little by little after years of dormancy.
He would not be naΓ―ve enough to expect that when his many children grow up, a ready-made one that will satisfy him with everything at once.
Yun Fenghuang knows the nature of this son of heaven very well, and at this moment he warned the left and right: "The battle for the national capital is not trivial, and until the dust settles, it cannot be taken lightly!" When you have nothing to do, think more about the succession of the Divine Sect back then. Your Majesty is not willing to be Sejong, is this palace willing to be Queen Qu! β
After saying this, she asked, "By the way, the queen's side should already know about King Qin's request to marry Gu Jue by now, but she doesn't know how the aunt and nephew reacted?" β
"The queen is still like that." Red Calyx covered her mouth and smiled, "Left and right just say something that doesn't sound good...... However, in the end, there is no way to take the mother, so I can only be depressed by myself. β
The queen's incompetent and furious appearance in the past two years, Xuanqing Palace is tired of hearing it.
At this moment, he was just smiling, and Yun Fenghuang continued to ask Gu Jue.
"That Miss Jue is worthy of being a person who can be seen by a mother, but she is calm at a young age." Chicalyx straightened his face and said, "Although I was surprised after hearing the news, I quickly calmed down, and I actually persuaded the queen for a long time, and then I retreated." But ......"
A subtle look appeared on her face, "Our people say that this Miss Jue is not at ease. It seems that he has bribed the people in front of the queen and eavesdropped on the feet of the queen and the princes. β
Yun Fenghuang was not surprised, and said lightly: "If she doesn't do this, this palace will look down on her a few points." Although the queen is her aunt, she is obviously not a reliable person. In this case, don't you count on your aunt and your mother's family waiting to be pushed into the fire pit? Since this girl is a little smart, how can she be willing to be arranged by others in the future? I can't say that I have to work my own. β
Chicao said: "If this Miss Jue is smart, she should understand that her only way to survive now is to come and serve her mother honestly." Being able to be favored by her mother is a blessing in her life! β
"Keep an eye on the kid." Yun Fenghuang smiled, she didn't care about Chicalyx's flattery, she knew very well in her heart that she didn't have any good intentions to marry this Gu Jue to King Qin.
If Gu Jue really honestly gave her a daughter-in-law, the fate of the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law might not be long.
After all, what kind of status is she, is there still a lack of high-born, talented, and good-looking girls in front of her?
The concubine commanded slowly, "What will she do?" β
Gu Jue didn't know that Yun Fenghuang was staring at her every move, even if she knew, she couldn't care about it at this moment.
The girl didn't trust her aunt very much, but now that she gets the news, she is more and more in crisis.
She first considered the third prince and the sixth prince.
These two princes have good temperaments.
In comparison, the conditions of the six princes are slightly worse, after all, they are disfigured.
But......
"Unless forced to do so, these two Highnesses still forget it." Gu Jue sighed and analyzed with the maid, "These two were bullied by the Ten Princes when they were young, and as far as the Ten Princes' temperament is concerned, I can't say that I will drag them into the water in the future." There is no escaping such a charge, even if the ten princes ascend the throne in the future, he will not even treat the king of Chu well, and he still expects to treat the three princes and the six princes well? β
The maid listened with horror and said, "What should I do then?" Do you really want to become a monk? But there are a lot of young ladies in the family. When Miss and Miss Jing were selected to accompany the queen in the palace, they aroused the jealousy of many young ladies. At this time, once you enter the Taoist temple, I'm afraid that no one will think of you in the future. β
Although Gu Jue's mother is still there, her mother will definitely not forget her daughter, "Because the master was gone two years ago, Mrs. is now more and more speechless in the clan, and she may not be able to help Miss when the time comes." β
I can't say that the mother and daughter can only hug their heads and cry at that time.
Gu Jue frowned and didn't say a word, and only said after a while: "You will go out and help me watch the spot, if there is no one around, just talk to the third prince, and ask him to talk under the magnolia tree behind him this evening." β
The maid was taken aback: "Miss wants to ......?" β
"Give it a try." Gu Jue sighed, "The sixth prince's temperament is really good, I don't dare to count on him." But these three princes ...... I saw that he was very attentive to the Ten Princes on the surface, and he didn't keep silent when he was bullied, but I heard that he lived in harmony with King Qin and Princess Zhaoqing for a while, so it can be seen that he is not the kind of master who can only be silent when he is bullied by the Six Princes. Perhaps, can we talk? β
"However, His Royal Highness the Third Prince is the first heir raised by the queen mother, and everyone says that he is the most painful in the queen's heart." The maid reminded in a low voice, "He has always been the most filial and considerate of the queen...... If you turn around and tell the queen, this? β
Gu Jue's eyes sharpened, and he snorted lightly: "My aunt is biased in favor of the Ten Princes, and I can't do anything about him for the time being." But the third prince, hum, I am also the daughter of the Gu family, and I am my aunt's niece and nephew. But it's not something he can just frame and frame! β
That night, she wrapped her cloak and waited for the third prince under the magnolia tree on time.
"Cousin, what's the matter?" Gong Xiangbing stopped a few steps away and asked gently.
Seeing that he was willing to come, or alone, Gu Jue breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he had more confidence in his next words: "Cousin, don't say secret words in front of the Ming people, they are all the princes in front of my aunt, and the ten princes are ranked after you, and his mother is just from a poor family, and his qualifications may not be above his cousin, and his cousin is far away from his cousin, so is his cousin really willing?" β
Gong Xiangbing smiled and said very calmly: "My cousin is falsely praised, the tenth brother is talented and intelligent, and he is a sister-in-law, where can I compare?" β
"My cousin may not know, but a few days ago I went back to the house and persuaded my great-grandfather, who specially greeted my aunt for this purpose and asked her to listen to me." Gu Jue euphemistically said that although he is a junior, he also has the support of Mrs. Gu, not as simple as Miss Gu, "After I got the endorsement of my great-grandfather, the first thing I persuaded my aunt was to let my aunt stop pampering the ten princes, but also care more about my cousin." After all, when it comes to filial piety, who is better than my cousin as the prince in front of my aunt? β
Gong Xiangbing said calmly: "It's better for my cousin not to study these things, after all, the queen mother has her own opinions." β
Gu Jue sneered slightly and said, "Why is my cousin so cowardly? If my cousin really listens to my aunt for everything, why should I come alone on this big night? Could it be that it was to persuade me to go back and settle down earlier? β
Gong Xiangbing smiled, and did not admit or deny it.
ββ¦β¦ If my cousin is so insincere, then I will be Meng Lang tonight. Gu Jue knew that he was sure that he was in a difficult situation now, and deliberately took Qiao, but his mind changed, but he refused to ask him to lower the price, and suddenly said, "It's really not good, I really followed the meaning of the concubine Niangniang and went to be a concubine for King Qin, which is also extremely glorious." And the concubine Niangniang is fierce to the outside, but she is notoriously good to her own people. The younger generation of the concubine Niangniang is not particularly attentive, if I go to her, I may not not be loved. But it's not necessarily a bad thing. β
As he spoke, he turned and left.
Sure enough, after walking out for more than a dozen steps, Gong Xiangbing called her to the end: "Cousin is smart, you should know that the concubine keeps saying that the so-called King Qin loves you, and it is just a cover for you not to marry." In fact, King Qin has no intention of you, and the concubine is also full of malice...... In this way, even if the cousin obeys the will of the concubine, not to mention that she can't face the criticism on the Gu family's side, even if she is the concubine, will she really treat her cousin well? β
"When you are desperate, you can only think about the good." Gu Jue turned around, looked at him deeply, and snorted lightly, "Otherwise?" Is there a better way for my cousin to teach me? β
Gong Xiangbing said slowly: "That's it, what are your cousin's plans, please tell me about it." If I can help you, I won't refuse. β
"Cousin, don't say it as if it's all for me tonight." Gu Jue unceremoniously pierced him, "Although my cousin and I are called brother and sister, we have no blood relationship, let alone any friendship, if we don't give my cousin benefits, how dare you make a big night, cousin labor?" β
β¦β¦ They muttered and discussed here, and the news went around, and the next evening they reported to Yun Fenghuang.
Yun Fenghuang was a little surprised: "This kid is a hard worker, is this a match for Gongxiang Bingdou?" Well, this Gong Xiangbing actually has some luck? This palace has worked hard, and he hasn't gotten any benefits yet, but he has fulfilled this kid! β
She asked with interest, "What did these two children discuss?" β
