Feng Qiao heard his muffled voice, and turned his head sideways and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Hanging his head and slamming the corners of his mouth, is this unhappy?

Xiao Jinyu turned his face a little angrily: "It's nothing." ”

Feng Qiao saw that he was stiff when he spoke, and his eyes fell on his face: "You don't like me to talk to you about the affairs of the court?"

Xiao Jinyu was stunned by the sudden change of topic, and Feng Qiao thought that she had guessed his mind when she saw this.

She secretly thought to herself in her heart, Xiao Jinyu is the prince after all, maybe she doesn't like her to interfere too much in his affairs?

Thinking about whether his words were really out of line, Feng Qiao explained in a low voice: "I don't say this to influence your actions, it's just that the people in the court can't prevent it, you have just entered the court, and it is inevitable that you will be weak and weak." ”

"Now the court has become a three-point trend, whether it is the eldest prince, the fourth prince or the king of Xiang, they are by no means good people, most of the ministers of the court and the central government are also attached, and there are many people who are left and right between the three parties, if you don't know the details of the intersection with these people, not only can you not get any benefits, but it is extremely easy to arouse suspicion. ”

"I know you have your own plans, but your three imperial brothers have long regarded the throne as something in their pockets, and their opponents can only tolerate each other, and if you want to benefit from them, you must be cautious and careful every step of the way, otherwise if something goes wrong, what you have to face is the joint eradication of the three of them. ”

Feng Qiao said and looked at Xiao Jinyu here: "That's all I can help you, if you don't like it, I won't say it next time." ”

Xiao Jinyu suddenly became anxious when he heard this: "I don't." ”

Seeing that Feng Qiao misunderstood, Xiao Jinyu couldn't care about his previous thoughts, and hurriedly explained: "I don't dislike it, I know that you are for my good, if it weren't for you, I would have died of illness in the palace three years ago, how could I have today." ”

He remembered the scene when Feng Qiao took his hand and talked in the palace, and reached out to pull her hand, but seeing that there were people in the distance, and bumped into Feng Qiao's puzzled gaze, he was afraid that she would be angry, so he just reached out and pulled her sleeve.

"Qiao'er, you are very important to me, no matter what I do in the future, I will remember what you say, if you don't like hairpins, next time I will give you something else?"

Feng Qiao saw his wide-eyed and lowered his head cautiously trying to please her, and reached out and patted his hand holding her sleeve: "Your Highness, I know what you mean, but you have to remember that after you promised to protect my father in the future, you don't owe me anything." ”

Three years ago, she went to the palace, although it was because of Guo Lingsi's request, but she also had her own thoughts when she helped Xiao Jinyu, and if Xiao Jinyu didn't have the heart to save herself that day, she would only find a doctor for him at best, and would not do it for him.

To put it bluntly, she asked for something before she could make a move, and everything they are doing now is just because they want to leave a way out for themselves in the future, but this child has always remembered that day's kindness.

Feng Qiao raised his head and said to Xiao Jinyu seriously: "If you want that position, you are destined to go against the current, I can give you limited help, you don't have to be like this." ”

Xiao Jinyu's face was slightly pale, and he wanted to explain that he was not for them to help him, but Feng Qiao didn't give him too many opportunities, so he said directly: "You left the palace and came here today, presumably not just to participate in Brother An'er's first birthday banquet, Seventh Brother is in the mansion, if you want to see him, go there, presumably the guests over there are almost gone." ”

Liao Yihuan's laughter came from behind, Feng Qiao glanced back and saw them holding Brother An and playing there.

Seeing her turn her head, Brother An waved her little hand and babbled, as if greeting her.

Feng Qiao's eyes were dyed with a smile, and after greeting Xiao Jinyu, he walked towards that side quickly, and then reached out and hugged Brother An'er and laughed.

Xiao Jinyu looked at the bright smiling face of the girl in the sun, watched her laugh with Guo Lingsi affectionately, stood there with her lips pursed for a long time, and only after a while did she pinch the box in her hand and turn around and go to the front hall with some loss.

Guo Lingsi and Liao Yihuan stood beside the flowers, looking at Xiao Jinyu's dejected appearance when he left, Guo Lingsi opened his mouth and asked, "Xiao Jiu, what's the matter?"

Feng Qiao played with Brother An'er's little hand: "It's not much, maybe it's just entering the court, and the pressure is too much." ”

Guo Lingsi glanced over there thoughtfully, she has been married to Shao Jin for more than three years, and she is no longer the lady in the pavilion who doesn't know anything and only cares about love.

Xiao Jinyu has been showing his face in front of Emperor Yongzhen in recent years, although he is not as good as Xiao Minyuan and the others, he has always shown no desire and no desire and does not value power, but among other princes, Xiao Jinyu has always been the most face-saving one.

Shao Jin has also had a lot of power in his hands in the past three years, he has more or less talked to her about the affairs of the court, and has also mentioned Xiao Jinyu's actions in the past three years, the serious illness three years ago seems to have become a dividing line, completely putting aside the naïve and ignorant Xiao Jinyu in the past, and now Xiao Jinyu has also become one of the people who intend to be emperor.

Guo Lingsi was silent for a moment before suddenly saying, "A few days ago, I went into the palace to see Concubine Yun, and I heard her say that His Majesty intends to let Xiao Jiu out of the palace to build a mansion. ”

Liao Yihuan tilted his head slightly: "Isn't that good, it's not convenient for him to enter and exit the palace, sometimes he is afraid of being seen if he wants to do something, if he goes out of the palace and builds a mansion, it will be much easier to do anything in the future, and he doesn't have to be afraid of staring at so many eyes." ”

"It's good, but going out of the palace to build a mansion means that he should marry a concubine. ”

Most of the princes built their mansions after they got married, and when the other princes left the palace, only King Xiang was delayed because his biological mother Li Concubine was too low, and the emperor did not attach great importance to him.

At that time, the woman that Xiao Minyuan could look up to, people didn't look down on him, and those who looked down on him didn't help Xiao Minyuan at all, so the position of the concubine next to him has been stayed, from the prince to King Xiang, until two years ago, Xiao Minyuan married the fifth lady of the Chengguo Mansion.

Guo Lingsi took the incense spike in her hand and teased Brother An and said: "Concubine Yun Niangniang picked out several young ladies in the court for Xiao Jiu, but she was rejected by Xiao Jiu every time, she has been thinking about this matter in her heart during this time, and said that I should find an opportunity to ask Xiao Jiu to see if he has his favorite, so I don't look down on her choice." ”

Liao Yihuan pulled the corners of her mouth when she heard this: "She is also interesting, I want to know what Xiao Jiu thinks, I just have to ask if I can't do it, and I still call you here, Xiao Jiu calls you cousin, is it possible that you have to worry about marriage, so why do you want her to do this?"
