Chapter 324: Selection
Su Zhaoning turned a deaf ear to Lin Guifei's hostility. She knew that the palace was sinister, and Concubine Lin was destined not to like herself because of the Seventh Princess.
In an unfamiliar place, it is better to brake with static than to brake with motion.
Sure enough, when Concubine Lin saw that Su Zhaoning didn't answer, she had no choice but to say to herself: "I heard that the people of Nanyu are good at witchcraft. Now that General Chen has recovered the Nine Cities, I am a little worried that they will use their tactics. ”
"It would be nice if Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis knew Nanyu script." Lin Guifei sighed.
Concubine Zhen looked up at Concubine Lin with a smile: "What will happen?" Could it be that Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis knows Nanyu characters, and she can directly go to the battlefield to defeat the enemy? ”
Concubine Zhen's words seem straightforward, but in fact, what is more obvious than straightforwardness is her position.
She had no intention of forming an alliance with Concubine Lin at all.
This kind of performance made the queen very satisfied. Concubine Lin lives alone under the queen, and Concubine Zhen has always been favored by the emperor, if the two join forces, the queen will have a headache.
The queen reconciled: "Today, Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis is called into the palace to reward her merits, not to examine her knowledge. ”
"Yes, the concubine knows her mistake." Concubine Lin got up from her seat and pleaded guilty to the queen.
Concubine Zhen also agreed: "The concubine knows that she is wrong. ”
The queen personally helped the two of them up and said, "This palace has no intention of blaming you. ”
Su Zhaoning led Nan Minxing to stand up and plead guilty, but the queen blocked again: "This palace doesn't blame any of you." ”
"Mrs. Hou, this palace intends to let Xiao Shizi enter the palace as the prince's companion, are you willing?" The queen asked.
Concubine Lin and Concubine Zhen obviously already knew about this arrangement, and when they heard this, they didn't have a trace of surprise on their faces.
Of course, Su Zhaoning was reluctant in his heart, but he had to respond first: "This is Minxing's blessing." ”
Nan Minxing was a little sad, he nervously grabbed the hem of Su Zhaoning's shirt and asked, "Then I won't be able to see my mother in the future?" ”
The queen said to him kindly, "Of course not. It's okay to enter the palace every day during the day. ”
"That's great, I can see the queen every day!" Nan Minxing suddenly became happy again.
Su Zhaoning saw that Nan Minxing still maintained his consistent style, and he was secretly relieved in his heart. She was very afraid that the grandmother who taught Nan Minxing had told him to guard against the queen and others. After all, there are times when children's minds can't be hidden. Now that it is so simple and blindly close, it will not make the queen suspicious.
Lin Guifei next to her saw that Nan Minxing was so young and flattered like this, and she was very disdainful in her heart. With the queen and Concubine Zhen here, she couldn't successfully set Su Zhaoning, so she simply turned her face and pretended to be studying tea.
"The palace maids in the queen's palace have much better tea-making skills than those in the concubine's palace. In the concubine palace, there is no such skillful hand. Lin Guifei said with a match.
The queen smiled: "That's good." Sister Guifei likes my tea, so she often comes to sit with me. After Xiao Qi got married, her sister didn't come often. ”
"Look at what the queen's sister said, I want to come. But there was no Xiao Qi to accompany him, and he was afraid that he would not be able to make the queen's sister happy, so he was embarrassed to come. At the mention of the Seventh Princess, Concubine Lin had a smile on her face again.
Concubine Zhen always brings the topic back in time.
"I don't know which prince the queen has decided to let Xiao Shizi be the companion of the prince?" Concubine Zhen asked.
The question she asked was exactly what Su Zhaoning was worried about.
Su Zhaoning listened carefully.
I only heard the queen say: "This little son is still young, children, the main thing is to be able to play together." In this way, let the five princes lead their younger brothers over. See which prince likes Xiao Shizi, and let Xiao Shizi follow him as a companion. ”
Concubine Zhen smiled: "That concubine's little eleven is also here?" ”
"Little Eleven is only one year old, and Concubine Zhen's sister can't wait to let him go to school. It's really well-intentioned. Lin Guifei said pantothenically beside her.
Concubine Zhen looked back at Concubine Lin and replied, "Not really." If Sister Guifei has a little prince, I'm afraid she will be as anxious as her sister. ”
This sentence directly poked Lin Guifei's heart.
Lin Guifei picked up the teacup and took a big sip.
The queen turned a deaf ear to the argument between the two of them, and directly beckoned Nan Min to go over.
She lowered her head and asked, "Minxing, what kind of little uncle do you like?" ”
When Su Zhaoning heard this, he almost immediately went to observe the queen's expression.
Little uncle? What is the queen suspecting?
She held back and kept her eyes on Nan Minxing.
Su Zhaoning pushed Nan Minxing to the queen's side and said, "Minxing, whatever the queen asks you, you will answer." ”
Nan Min walked to the queen's side and replied on her back, "Back to the queen's mother, I like a little uncle like my own little uncle." ”
This is not to be found fault with.
Su Zhaoning's heart hung in his chest and he couldn't let go. Today, the queen summoned herself to the palace, and the eunuch passed on the word to reward the eleventh prince for the embroidery of auspicious clothes, but the real purpose is not clear to anyone.
Su Zhaoning was worried that the queen was suspicious of Nan Minxing's identity, but she could only pretend that she didn't know anything.
Everyone in the palace is full of human spirits, and Su Zhaoning didn't say much when he entered the palace, but he felt more tired than saying a hundred words outside the palace in the past.
This time and again, there is no place without swords and swords.
The queen was still asking Nan Minxing a question: "Minxing, are you usually lonely and lonely, do you want older brothers and sisters or younger brothers and sisters?" ”
"I have a mother." Nan Minxing replied.
The queen seemed amused. After chuckling, she said, "Your mother can't be with you for a lifetime." ”
"But I'm going to take care of my mother for the rest of my life." After Nan Minxing finished speaking, he looked at Concubine Zhen again and said, "Just like Concubine Zhen is good to the eleventh prince, the eleventh prince will also be filial to Concubine Zhen in the future." My mother is also good to me. ”
Nan Minxing's words are reasonable and well-founded, and when they fall into the ears of ordinary people, they probably only think that this child is really smart.
But everyone in the palace didn't think so.
Concubine Zhen felt that Nan Minxing knew how to use his strength. At a young age, he knew how to use himself to Qi Lin Guifei.
Lin Guifei felt that Su Zhaoning was not only inflammatory, but also blind and deaf. Climbing to the queen is because she is the master of the harem, what is it to climb to Concubine Zhen?
The queen felt that this child was really not an ordinary grudge. This was the case with his aunt last time, and the same is true for Lin Guifei this time.
With such a grudge character, you really have to think carefully about which prince to stay with.
Su Zhaoning had no other emotions than satisfaction with Nan Minxing's answer. Sometimes, it's not a good thing to keep the purpose simple and see more people.
Soon, all but the four princes who were weak crowned adults arrived.
Su Zhaoning was also the first time he had seen so many princes. Especially the five princes who walked in the front, although they should still be young, their height is no different from that of adults.
The six princes and the seventh princes behind the five princes are obviously not small.
These are the creators of the bloody storm in the future. Su Zhaoning sighed silently in his heart. She knew that the time for true danger was not long off. In less than two years, there will be five princes, six princes and seven princes entering the game to win the throne. In two more years, there will be more princes.
I'm afraid the four princes who have become adults can't wait.
The queen has already begun to ask: "This is the little prince of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion." The queen mother intends to let him be one of your companions, which of you likes this little son? ”
The fifth prince glanced at Nan Minxing, who was less than his waist, and snorted: "A milk doll, following this prince, doesn't he still want this prince to take care of him?" Queen Mother, I don't want him. ”
The sixth prince and the seventh prince glanced at each other, and they all arched their hands and said, "The emperor is old, and it is not suitable to be with the little prince." ”
The Eighth and Ninth Emperors are twins and are only five years old. Looking at Nan Minxing in front of him, the two of them stepped forward together.
The Eighth Prince touched Nan Minxing's head.
Nan Minxing immediately took a step back, dodged and said, "Man head and woman waist, please don't touch me with His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"Hmph, the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister. I am the prince, and I can touch whoever I want. After the eighth prince finished speaking, he stepped forward to touch Nan Minxing again.
Nan Minxing had no choice but to hide behind Su Zhaoning.
The Nine Emperor Princes pointed at Su Zhaoning and said, "Who are you?" ”
"Returning to His Royal Highness the Prince, the courtier Su." Su Zhaoning replied.
The Nine Emperor Princes looked at the Eighth Emperor and asked, "Crispy food, what is it to eat?" ”
"What a crisp! The queen mother said that this is the little son of the Marquis of Dingyuan. Then this must be his mother, Mrs. Dingyuan. Behind the Nine Emperor Princes, another, smaller-looking child stepped forward.
This kid stood next to Nan Minxing, and he was about the same height as Nan Minxing.
The Tenth Prince asked, "Nan Shizi, how old are you this year?" ”
Nan Minxing replied, "I'm three years old. ”
"This prince is four years old, and he is almost five years old!" The tenth prince looked proud, he looked Nan Minxing up and down, and then bowed to the queen and said, "Queen Mother, since the prince of Dingyuan is the same age as the emperor, let's be the emperor's companion." ”
The tenth prince is more than four years old and less than five years old, and he not only speaks clearly, but also has a clear organization.
Seeing the Ten Princes like this, Su Zhaoning felt both relaxed and lost in his heart.
Relaxedly, her son is not the only one who is so smart at such a young age, and Nan Minxing will not receive too much attention in the palace in the future.
But that's what is lost.
Probably because when he was outside the palace, he was used to everyone's admiration for Nan Minxing. Su Zhaoning realized for the first time that her son was not the only one, and she felt a little unstoppable loss in her heart.
The tenth prince decided on Nan Minxing, but the eleventh prince had not yet spoken.
The queen looked at the eleventh prince with a smile and asked, "Little Eleven, what about you?" ”
The eleventh prince, who was only a year old, had already learned some simple vocabulary. He looked at Nan Minxing and said to the Ten Princes, "Brother, I want it." ”
Concubine Zhen laughed: "It's not easy to do now." Xiao Shizi is too sought-after. ”
The eighth prince laughed beside him: "Seven of our brothers came together, and the two emperors grabbed him, and they were embarrassed to say that they were in demand." ”
The Nine Emperor Princes chimed in: "Exactly. ”
Concubine Lin also laughed. Her smile made Su Zhaoning feel a little bad.
