The spring water is murmuring, constantly flowing from the bottom of the white jade bridge, bypassing the Jiuqu corridor, and finally pouring into the Taiye Pool.

There was a woman in a palace costume on the bridge, who was spilling the fish in her hand into the water little by little, looking at the schools of fish rushing up, and I didn't know what she was thinking.

The woman was not pretty, but she was in her early thirties, but she was gentle and beautiful, and at a glance, she was like this murmuring spring in front of her, as if it was about to flow into the hearts of people.

Another handful of fish was sprinkled at the bottom of the bridge, and a little eunuch next to him hurriedly came forward, bowed to the woman, and said:

"Niangniang, the second highness is down. ”

"Take him to the pavilion in front. ”

Hearing this, the movement of the woman's hand stopped, and the eyes that had been drooping were now looking up, as if there was a power that could see through people's hearts, but they were fleeting and turned into gentleness.

"Yes. ”

The eunuch didn't dare to say more, nor did he dare to think about it, so he retreated as he said and walked towards the pavilion not far in front of him with the second prince Huashuo.

Looking at the figures of the two people, Su Guifei threw down all the fish food in her hand, clapped her hands and said to a few servants beside her:

"Let's go, let's go over there, too. ”

As she spoke, she walked away, and the maid who had been holding an umbrella and fanning her and several old servants who served her hurriedly raised their heels.

In the pavilion, Su Guifei sat idly on the stone bench where someone had already laid out the mat, and next to Hua Chen took the swinging fan in the hand of the servant, signaling everyone to stay away a little, and then sat next to Su Guifei, fanning the cool breeze for her mother.

"Have you seen your father?" said Su Guifei in a shallow voice.

"Yes. Huashuo nodded, and then with a little hesitation and embarrassment: "Father said that he wants the child to go to Xishan as well......"

Hearing the meaning of Huashuo's words, Su Guifei said:

"You don't want to?"

"Of course not!"

ASUS took the conversation in one bite, and then the fan in his hand shook the ground more diligently.

Sure enough, it was the mother who knew herself best, and she could understand what she was thinking without saying anything.

As long as the mother concubine is willing to go and tell her father, then he doesn't have to go to the ghost place in Xishan.

But he didn't expect that the mother concubine, who had always been obedient to him, did not follow his meaning this time:

"But this time, you have to go, whether you want it or not. Su Guifei turned her face and looked at her son.

"Why? Doesn't my father usually listen to my mother's words the most?!As long as you say it, how can he disagree?"

"Yes, I'll tell you, your father will agree. But don't forget at all times that this emperor is always your father. Looking at Huashuo, Su Guifei knocked on her son.

At this time, ASUS also realized that his words were too presumptuous, if they were heard by someone who cared about them, I was afraid that it would not be a good thing for their mother and son, who were now in full bloom.

"Erchen knows his mistake. ”

ASUS sat down, his voice a little muffled, then raised his head again, and said with some expectation: "But mother, you will still be on my side this time, right?"

"When did I not stand by your side?" Glancing at Hua Shuo, Su Guifei continued: "It is because I have always been on your side, so this time Xishan, you must go." ”

"Mother!"

ASUS stood up again.

"This time, you have to listen to me. ”

Concubine Su raised her eyes, completely ignoring her son's incredulous expression, "Because I took the initiative to mention the matter of going to Xishan, I took the initiative to mention it to your father." ”

"What?!What's so good about that shabby place in Xishan? Not to mention the poor countryside, and Zhou Yang's old horseman who is there all day long, when he was still in Anyang, he didn't like me, if I really went, who knows what will come out? Haven't the concubines heard about the news that has come out these days? An Guohou and Zhou Yang have a good relationship, right? But Zhao Yi still met the assassin in Xishan, if the child goes, what if he doesn't come back?"

"Presumptuous!"

Su Guifei shouted angrily, slammed the table, and then stood up and looked straight at the son in front of her, who was half a head taller than herself.

The movement in the pavilion alarmed the people guarding outside, but as soon as they saw the rare angry appearance of the concubine, and did not hear the sound of communication, they all hurriedly lowered their heads, and even moved out quietly.

In the gazebo, Asus's eyes couldn't help but flash in response to his mother's obviously angry look, but he still didn't show weakness, and only turned his head awkwardly to the side.

"What is his identity Zhao Yi, and what is your identity?!His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who dares to ask for your life?!"

Su Guifei sneered and paced beside Asus:

"I know better than you what those ministers in the court are like! Not to mention, although Zhou Yang doesn't like our mother and son, he is definitely not the person who stirs up trouble as you say, the most important thing is that although he is friends with An Guohou, he is not under the command of An Guohou, if you really have a heart, your attitude towards him should not be to exclude, but to win over him.

"This time Zhao was also assassinated in Xishan, and everyone's spearhead was pointed at Zhou Yang, saying that because he was Hua Yue's uncle, he announced his personal vendetta and personal grudge, and even your father was suspicious of him, and wanted to investigate the matter clearly so that Princess Pingning could give an explanation. Originally, the person he fancied was the third child, but I said that you also wanted to go to Xishan to practice, so I fought for the opportunity for you. ”

"Since my father wants the third child to go, then let him go?"

"Do you really not understand or fake you don't understand? Is Zhou Yang really so stupid that he would do such a thing on his own turf? So there is not the slightest doubt that this matter was deliberately done by someone, and Zhou Yang must be innocent.

"So this time I went to Xishan to investigate the truth of this matter, which is actually a good errand. Su Guifei looked at her son, glanced at him in disappointment, poked his head and said:

"If the truth is found out, then not only will you help Zhou Yang clear his grievances and make his impression of you change, but you can also avenge Zhao Yi and get down to your aunt, so it really can't be a better thing, why don't you understand?"

"What if we can't find out?"

"With the mother concubine here, it won't be impossible to find out. ”

Looking at the flowing water in front of her, Su Guifei smiled confidently.

Seeing this, Huashuo understood that he couldn't escape anymore, so he had to nod his head and say:

"The boy listened to his mother. ”

"That's good. Su Guifei finally smiled, and then said with a bit of bitterness: "Don't worry, the mother concubine will never harm you." ”

"The child will believe in you. But there is another question, since this errand is so good, how could His Majesty think of letting the third brother go? According to the current situation of the eldest brother, shouldn't he be allowed to go? No matter how bad he is, he should be an official in the court, not a person who has never been inconspicuous like the third brother?"

"That's why I'm going to ask your good aunt. ”

Su Guifei sneered, a touch of playfulness and disdain flashed in her eyes.

Because Huashuo didn't like Xishan's affairs, he never thought that it would fall on him in the end, so he never thought about it, and he was reluctant to mention it when Su Guifei mentioned it, but he was not a straw bag who didn't understand anything. Now that I understand that I can't hide after all, I have begun to put myself in it and think about it seriously.

Just one sentence points out the most critical point.

Now the forces in the court are divided into two factions, one is the old minister who supports the orthodoxy of the prince, and the other is the new minister who criticizes the prince for being stupid and absurd and addicted to wine, so as to be grateful for Su Guifei's kindness for more than ten years and want to support the virtuous and upright second prince.

In addition, in recent years, Jishitang, which has been beaten out with the reputation of the noble concubine and the second prince, has gathered too many ordinary people from the absence of a diagnosis who has never diagnosed a wrong disease. While they were grateful for the virtue of the concubine and the second prince, they felt that the prince who was short-tempered and liked to flirt with women from good families in public from time to time was not virtuous enough.

However, although Emperor Jin favored Su Guifei, he was never ambiguous in the matter of heirs, and he did not give in lightly in the matter of establishing a successor and establishing a long term.

And when the crown prince was in such an embarrassing place, it happened that Zhao Yi was assassinated, so this good opportunity to be able to curry favor with the Marquis of Anguo and the general Zhou Yang of Xishan at the same time was the first to be thought of by the emperor as his future heir.

But who would have thought that on the second day of Zhao Yi's return, Princess Pingning personally asked Hua Chen to enter the mansion.

Although it was rumored outside that it was because of the conflict between Princess Huayue and the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion, the clear-eyed people saw that the carriage of the three princes stayed in the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion for half an hour, and it was unknown what they said during the period, but on the second day, someone from the Third Prince's Mansion went to visit the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion.

And the third prince has always been friendly with the eldest prince, but Princess Pingning took the lead in making friends with ******, which shows that she also likes to let the prince do this.

But after looking for Hua Chen, he didn't look for Hua Shu, and in the end, the emperor thought about it, but he was also paying attention.

"Pingning has always loved the child of Su'er, and when he was not married, he also liked him very much, so it is normal to be eccentric, but Su'er's current temperament, if he really lets him go to Xishan, I am afraid that he will not be able to endure such hardships, and if you let him have any trouble in the future, it is better to let Chen'er go on his behalf, and in the capacity of assisting the prince, it is reasonable. And Chen'er is indifferent by nature, but she is also kind and fair, and Ping Ning seems to like it very much, but she is a good candidate. ”

The words that Emperor Jin said and listened to her, until now, Su Guifei still has it in her ears.

In the eyes of others, perhaps she and her son have received the most favor and the most generous rewards, but in the eyes of this person who has shared the bed with her for more than 20 years, she doesn't need to think about who she values the most.

The living can never compete with the dead.

At least emotionally.

But this does not mean that the son of the living cannot compete with the son of the dead.

Because in the end, the emperor was persuaded by her to give this important task to his son.

What does it mean even if it's Princess Pingning?

There is a difference between the sister who marries out and the pillow person who blows the wind in her ears.

Listening to his mother tell the reason, ASUS came back to his senses, and gave his mother a thumbs up and said:

"In the end, it's the mother concubine's chess master. Rest assured, the child will not disappoint the mother. ”

"That's the best, when it's time to leave, the mother concubine will do it for you. Su Guifei had a smile on her face.

ASUS nodded, shook the fan in his hand, as if remembering something, and said:

"But mother, have you heard the news from Jishitang?"

"What's the news?"

"It's about Wuluo recruiting a little girl to Jishitang, it is said that she was taken in by Wuluo because she offended Zhao Yi, do you say that this will annoy the Anguo Hou Mansion? Let them think that we are going to come with them? I am busy with some things these days, and I only heard about this today. ”

"I know that. Not to mention a little girl, the Marquis of Anguo Mansion is not such a cautious person, what kind of virtue is their own son, your aunt and uncle know better than anyone else, I am afraid that I have to thank Wu Luo for making Zhao Yi ugly again. ”

Su Guifei took a sip of the tea in front of her, then looked at Hua Shuo and said:

"Besides, according to Hua Yue's girl, this girl seems to have cured Zhao Yi's beloved horse, and now he is afraid that it will be too late to pick up that girl, let alone settle accounts with her. So it's not a bad thing to let him know that this girl is doing things in Jishitang now. ”

"Horse?" Hua Shuo said in surprise: "But the one that Zhao Yi did when he begged for the same thing with his father, and the blue wolf who let Princess Pingning enter the palace to accompany him and pretend to be stupid?"

"What else can there be besides that one? Since he had this horse, the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion has been made indecent, and it is no wonder that he has ruined his reputation. ”

Su Guifei sneered, and didn't care about this prince of Anguo at all.

Three years ago, for such a horse, the thirteen-year-old little adult rolled on the ground in front of the envoys, and he lost all the face of the Jin Kingdom, not to mention, and even pulled his cute mother together, followed the emperor and pretended to be stupid, and it took great effort to get this horse.

Later, it is said that he spent a lot of money to build a large courtyard no less than the main courtyard of the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion for this horse, and even prepared an ear room or something, and made a set just for one horse.

At that time, how ugly the scolding in Anyang City was, but the family surnamed Zhao didn't care, and was not ashamed but proud, and later, even the emperor couldn't help but smile and said:

"After all, it's my nephew, and her mother are really alive and well, children love to play, so let him go. ”

After this sentence came out, I understood that the emperor had acquiesced, and even had some interest, and the rumors in the city were completely dispersed.

But now when it comes to Zhao Yi, the Marquis of Xiao'an, this matter is still a topic they talk about, but as Zhao Yi's later things become more and more domineering and unreasonable, this matter is not very conspicuous.

Putting away the memories, Su Guifei pushed the hair from her ears behind her ears, and then said to Huashuo:

"Do you know who this girl is?"

"What?"

Hua Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then realized that what Su Guifei was referring to was the person who was now in Jishitang.

At the same time, Luan Ge, who had just put down the pen and stretched out for a long time, sneezed violently. (To be continued.) )
