In the carriage, a handsome man who looked to be in his early twenties was sitting on the comfortable couch, and when he saw the two women coming in, he couldn't help but smile, and said, "I said earlier that the princess of Zhongxin County is not easy to mess with, you don't believe it, now you know, right?" Min'er has suffered at her hands, how did you take advantage? ”

The two women sat down next to the man, one left and one right, pursed their lips with a goose egg face and said, "We just want to help Miss Bang Er take a breath, who knew that the princess of that county was so unreasonable!" ”

"That's right," the maidservant girl with a melon seed face also said, "Who knew that she would dare to come so nonsense by virtue of her identity as the princess of the county?" Hmph, this time it's her luck, if someone dies on the street one day, then it's called good-looking! ”

Hearing the two women complain about Qiao Xiaoru one by one, this man, that is, the second young master of the Xiao family and Xiao Min's second brother, laughed disapprovingly, and said with a smile: "Then again, this woman is really not very easy to deal with, it seems that it is really difficult to speak out for Min'er." ”

The maidservant girl with the melon seed face giggled and said, "What's so difficult about this? In a few days, the eldest lady will hold a meeting in the palace, and I think that the princess of Zhongxin County will also be present, isn't that a great opportunity? ”

"Don't mess around," Second Young Master Xiao's face turned slightly straight, and said: "Mother is holding a banquet in the mansion, if something happens to the guests in the mansion, our Xiao family will also be disgraced." In this matter, we need to think about it again. ”

The two women glanced at each other, and they all said softly.

Within a few days, the Marquis of Changchun finished handling all the affairs, claiming that his health had not been good in the past two years, so he wanted to take his wife and daughter to Jiangnan to recuperate for two years and then come back, leaving the capital in a very low-key manner.

Of course, in fact, only the two of them left, Wu Xianzhi had already become a concubine in the eldest prince's mansion, not to mention accompanying him, and he couldn't even send each other off.

Mrs. Bai cried desolately, scolded Qiao Xiaoru for a while and scolded Concubine Mei for a while, and finally left temporarily with a sense of resentment.

With their departure, Qiao Xiaoru also breathed a sigh of relief.

Madame Bai is too shameless and difficult, and she is more open-minded than anyone else, and she can not see her for a long time, which is naturally a good thing.

And the third prince secretly found out that the Marquis of Changchun secretly handed over several businesses in his hand to the eldest prince before leaving, obviously this is Wu Xianzhi's dowry, and the meaning of asking the eldest prince to take care of Wu Xianzhi is two points.

The third prince couldn't help but feel depressed, speaking of which, this matter was caused by himself, how annoying he was.

I don't know how many times I scolded behind my back, if I wanted him to catch who sent the letter, he had to pick the skin of that person!

However, at present, the third prince has no time to take care of this matter, and the competition for the position of the deputy commander of the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is at the end of the month, which is an extremely important position, and he has to do everything to fight for it.

Even if your own people can't go up, you can't let the prince's people go up!

As for the eldest prince, he was not so worried. What if this big brother is unwilling? The possibility of the crown prince falling to him is slim.

And the position of the deputy commander of the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, the prince and his faction also stared at it tightly.

The prince is a bare pole in the military, there is no one at all, there is only one before, Zuo Qiuchi, the son of the Marquis of Qingjiang, this is still because of the relationship between relatives, so it is not conspicuous to get close to him.

But Zuo Qiuchi's advantage is not obvious, although he is also the best among the young generation of generals, if he wants to win, it is difficult to go.

Now, there is one more candidate in the East Palace, and that is Lu Zhan.

But for Lu Zhan, the prince didn't have much hope.

For Lu Zhan, what he values more is the favor of his father, as long as Lu Zhan is a big celebrity in front of his father, it is enough to be able to say good things for him from time to time, if you want to talk about real skills, Lu Zhan was just a small general in the military camp before, what should he be?

Fortunately, the candidates for this position are only within the capital, and no one in the local military is involved, otherwise the prince will suffer even more.

After all, this position is in charge of the safety and security of the capital, and it is more suitable to treat people who are accustomed to it in the capital.

The eldest princess refused to admit defeat, and called Lu Zhan over to teach him to take the position.

"You are a big celebrity in front of the emperor, and the emperor clearly intends to let you go to the military department for training, this is a great opportunity! At that time, this palace will also dredge up with a few main examiners, and try to make it as convenient as possible when arranging opponents, as long as you can hold on to the final showdown, then this palace will come back to find a way! In short, you must win! ”

The eldest princess's narrow eyes crossed with a touch of cold killing intent, and it was obvious that in the final duel, she would use some shady means.

Military power is the fatal weakness of the crown prince, and with the third prince and the fourth prince crowned the king, the eldest princess is really anxious.

Lu Zhan was very disgusted when he saw this, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

He wasn't jealous of his mother's love for the prince more than for himself, and it was not surprising to say it, after all, his mother watched the prince grow up, and the prince was born on the same day as herself, so it was normal for her to transfer all her feelings for herself to the prince.

Over time, it went deep into the bone marrow and became a habit, and he didn't blame her at all.

However, if he used unscrupulous means to win the position of deputy commander of the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, he would rather not.

"Mother don't interfere in this matter," Lu Zhan looked at the eldest princess seriously, his eyebrows were full of fortitude and firmness: "I will do my best, even if it doesn't work out this time, the emperor has other arrangements, and he may not be as good as the deputy commander of the Nine Cities Soldiers and Horses." If my mother insisted on intervening, I would rather quit. ”

"What did you say!" The eldest princess raised her eyebrows and scolded sharply.

Lu Zhan didn't give in: "Mother, I have already made it very clear!" Mother don't meddle in this matter! ”

"You-" The eldest princess was annoyed and a little embarrassed, and sneered angrily: "You don't use means, do you think others don't need it?" This palace tells you that since ancient times, there has been no intrigue in the struggle for power and succession! Your self-righteous set, hmph, sooner or later will make you fall on top of it! You have been in trouble since you returned to Beijing, what do you think is the reason? That's because you don't have power in your hands, all you have is a title! When you have real power in your hands, who will dare to despise and provoke? This palace is planning for you and making calculations for you, why, you don't like this palace is not fair enough? ”

Lu Zhan said in his heart that he was indeed unwilling not to act so openly, and he didn't say anything about giving the eldest princess two points of face, but only insisted: "I can take care of this matter myself!" If my mother interferes, I will quit. ”
