Chapter 424: Awkward Status
Xiao Jiu is not the first time to participate in the Chinese New Year's Eve in the palace, and it can be regarded as a mastery, first going to Cining Palace to ask the Empress Dowager for peace, and then going to Fengwu Palace to ask the empress for peace, and even rarely saw the seventh prince.
The Seventh Prince is very similar to Emperor Qian, but his temperament is very different, although he is young, he is a very gentle person, and when he sees Xiao Jiu, he calls "cousin-in-law", and his words are even more intimate.
Because the queen did not want her son to participate in the seizure of the heir, although she was close to Yan Xi, she never showed it, and the seven princes rarely met Yan Xi.
Xiao Jiu didn't come to the palace much, but he didn't see the queen every time, this year it was just because Emperor Qian had already set up a prince, and the queen felt that there was no need to avoid suspicion as usual, so she saw Xiao Jiu, and deliberately left the seventh prince to meet Xiao Jiu.
This shows the queen's attitude, Xiao Jiu saw the queen, and really understood what it means to be gentle as water, of course, Xiao Jiu would not be stupid to be the queen is really a woman who only understands gentleness, otherwise how can she sit firmly in the queen's position?
"I heard that you brought your child into the palace at twenty-seven, but the palace was busy in those days, otherwise you must also see what Yanxi's son is like." The queen's tone is also intimate, obviously she is already a woman in her thirties, but she is like a twenty-eight girl, exuding the atmosphere of youth from the inside out.
Xiao Jiu usually felt that his appearance was small, and he only knew what the real face was when he saw the queen, and he was such a gentle person, just looking at her eyes, the defense in his heart couldn't help but relax a little bit, it can be seen that the queen is really not a simple person.
"Brother An'er is still young now, and concubines generally don't take him out, but when the spring is warm and Brother An'er is older, he can often be carried into the palace." Xiao Jiu smiled slightly, lowering his eyes and not daring to look at the queen's eyes again.
Although Xiao Jiu is a traversing person, when it comes to means and scheming, he is really not the opponent of these ancients, let alone the queen, a woman who seems to be gentle but is actually powerful?
"That's good, Yan Xi has been away from the capital for many years, and the emperor often mentions the past."
Xiao Jiu didn't know why the queen would leave her to speak today, but she had been vigilant in her heart, and she didn't dare to be careless, not to mention what the Seventh Prince would do in the future, just the queen would be a proper queen mother in the future.
The third prince has not been in the palace since he was a child, although the queen is his mother-in-law, but there is no friendship, and the situation of the Empress Dowager is very different.
The queen is like this now, if she is wooed, it is a little involved, but it is definitely not simple.
Xiao Jiu cheered up 120,000 points and accompanied the queen in Fengwu Palace for half an hour, and then left, out of the palace gate of Fengwu Palace, Xiao Jiu only felt that his body was stiff and sore.
Seeing that Xiao Jiu was a little bad, Furong hurriedly helped Xiao Jiu and asked in a low voice, "Girl, are you uncomfortable?" ”
Xiao Jiu shook his head and didn't say anything.
There are many people in the palace, and even if Xiao Jiu holds back his words, he doesn't dare to declare it now.
This year's Chinese New Year's Eve Palace Banquet, because of the relationship between the princes, and several specifications higher than in previous years, people with a discerning eye can see that Emperor Qian is very satisfied with the newly established prince, so he attaches so much importance to it.
King Jingning didn't make any more demon moths this year, even if the third prince who was finally made the crown prince was the third prince who never paid attention to it, he still didn't make any moves, but secretly he kept watching a good show. Although he is ambitious, his methods are a little stupid, not to mention that he was the first to be crowned king, that is, he did not admit it, and he himself knew that Emperor Qiandi had removed him from the list of candidates for succession.
King Jingning is somewhat self-aware, and Nangong Xue's matter made him lose face again, and then he knew what the four princes had done, and there was an analysis of the guests, so he unanimously decided to be an idle prince with peace of mind.
The four princes were too ruthless, and they did such a wolf-hearted thing, King Jingning didn't think that he could find out with his own ability, and knew that it was deliberately leaked to him by someone, so he rested his heart at the bottom of his heart.
However, King Chen Wangqing was still a little unconvinced, feeling that the third prince did not have the help of his mother's family, and finally broke out of the encirclement, and was made the prince just because of Jiangzhou, which was really unfair.
But the two of them also knew that the king was in front and the prince was in the back, coupled with the relationship between Yanxi, the two even conspired to theorize, thinking that the prince that Emperor Qian had always preferred was the third prince, otherwise why would a prince who had already become a monk suddenly return to Beijing?
However, this prince recognized the adopted son of the Suguo Mansion as his master, and his cousin who held heavy troops was like a brother, and they looked like they had been arranged in advance.
Because of this brain supplement, King Chen Wangqing looked at the prince more and more unpleasantly.
The prince's injury is not completely healed, but today's Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet also has the meaning of celebrating the prince, and the prince certainly has to attend.
"But you've got it figured?" Yan Xi ignored the scrutiny from all directions, and spoke to the prince with cold eyebrows.
The crown prince has not yet carried out the canonization ceremony, and today he is only wearing the prince's regular clothes, and his face is still a little sickly, which shows that the previous injury is really serious.
"What is there to think about, in the past, my father indulged me, but because I am the prince, and now I have become the prince, the heir should be the most important, otherwise, a prince who doesn't know if he can give birth to an heir, how can the ministers surrender?"
The crown prince smiled solemnly, glanced at the fourth prince, and said lightly: "Why do you think he desperately wants to have a son, isn't that why is this!" ”
Yan Xi lowered his eyes, and his voice was a little cold, "If I give birth to a son like that, I'd rather not give birth to it in this life, otherwise I will have to kill my own children!" ”
When the prince heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "That's not necessarily, if that's the case, he will definitely be faster than you." ”
When Yan Xi thought of the four princes, he felt that there were a lot of bad things, so he glanced at the prince lightly, pursed his lips and never spoke again.
The prince hooked his lips and smiled, and said indifferently: "At most one or two years, at least half a year, you don't need to worry so much." ”
Although the fourth prince is very calm now, as if he has accepted his fate, but for a prince who raises private soldiers, isn't it a joke?
The seven princes, in addition to the crown prince who was made the prince and the seven princes who were still minors and could not be crowned kings, only the four princes still bear the title of princes, which can be described as very embarrassing.
Not to mention what the four princes think, the courtiers alone already have some bad ideas, but it is because the New Year is over, and Emperor Qiandi has not revealed anything, so no bad words have been transmitted.
For the fourth prince, who has always been arrogant and feels that everything in the world is in my hands, the current situation is much more uncomfortable than killing him.
"The emperor has arrived."
