Everyone knows that King Qi found the Night Pearl for the queen from the South China Sea, and they all want to see the style of the Night Pearl. Zhang Shi was the first to stand up, and she said: "I heard that the night pearl that King Qi found for the queen mother is the size of a fist, and it is like day in the house at night, I wonder if the concubines have no chance to take a look?" ”

The wife of the Duke of Jia Jungong of the Wu family is Mrs. Yipin, and she can still speak in front of the queen. After she made a start, some of the other ladies also chimed in, saying that they wanted to see the Night Pearl.

Since Jia Mu exposed the "family ugliness" last time, the wives of the ministers of Wang Sun don't like to deal with the Wu family very much, and they are all ashamed of being complicit with her, but this time they all echoed her because she spoke their minds.

The queen saw that everyone was very interested, and she was also interested, so she said: "The night pearl that Yu'er dedicated to the palace is indeed the size of a fist, and it is very bright at night. But it's daylight, and there's nothing special to see right now. Seeing that everyone's faces were full of anticipation, the queen said: "Then why don't you wait until the evening, and wait for the evening to see the style of the night pearl?" ”

The queen has spoken, and everyone has said yes. So the birthday feast continued into the evening.

The concubine had something to say to the prince, so she called the prince away.

In fact, she was also worried about the prince, and felt that there were some things that she had to say to him clearly and ask him to understand.

The concubine said: "Do you know what Xiaoyu's gift to the queen is?" ”

The prince said: "This son-in-law didn't ask, and the son-in-law only found out just now." ”

The concubine showed an expression that was indeed so. She said: "She really doesn't know the rules, how can the gifts she gives be as valuable as those she gives?" ”

The prince smiled slightly. "So the mother concubine also thinks that her son's action is too shabby? Fortunately, Xiaoyu acted generously and saved face for Erchen. ”

That's what he thought? The concubine was speechless.

After thinking for a long time, the concubine said, "She's not saving face for you." It's about slapping you in the face and sweeping your face in public. When did you become so unconscious? ”

The prince said: "Erchen thinks that the queen mother thinks too much. ”

His mind has always been clear, so it must be his mother who is thinking too much.

Is she thinking too much? Guifei said: "You are dang←↖dǐng←↖diǎn← ↖ Xiao← ↖ said, .≠.←os_ (); Fans of the bureau, I'm a bystander, please, she is clearly embarrassing you today. Why are you still protecting her? ”

The prince said: "For Xiaoyu, she has a lot of pearls like that, and it is natural to take out a string and give it to the queen, she has nothing else to think about." ”

Does she have a lot of pearls like that? Why didn't you see her send a string? She was her future mother-in-law. How could she only send the queen and not her?

The concubine said: "Her pearls are more precious than your Buddha statue, and you still say that she has no other meaning?" ”

The prince said: "The queen mother is not short of anything, and the main thing to give her a gift is to give her a heart." As long as the minister's mind arrives, why bother with whether the gift is valuable? ”

The concubine said: "The gift represents identity, and you should understand this diǎn very well." ”

The higher the status, the more valuable the gift is, and many times it can be given from the gift. Find out who the giver is.

The prince said: "It's all in the past. Don't take the mother to heart. ”

The prince didn't take this matter to heart, in his opinion, it was very common for Li Siyu to take out a string of pearls and give it to the queen, because she once took the pearls to the cloth village to exchange for cloth. To her, pearls are no different from ordinary money.

Seeing that the prince said this, the concubine didn't care about anything. If you don't mention it, don't mention it! She had to talk about Xiaoyu when she turned around.

The concubine said: "After your marriage with Xiaoyu is decided, what will the Nangong family do?" ”

The move she said was to guide Gong Hao to say something about the crown prince and whether his prince had changed. You must know that Nangong Hao does not stand in line with any prince, but only listens to the words of the emperor alone.

The crown prince understood what the concubine meant. He said: "Mrs. Nangong came to the house to see Xiaoyu, but General Nangong didn't come. ”

The prince knew that Nangong Hao was avoiding suspicion. Obviously, he didn't want to get involved in the struggle for the throne, so he didn't come to get close to him because of Li Siyu's relationship. There was still no correspondence between them.

The concubine frowned, perhaps their wishful thinking was wrong. Nangong Hao would not stand on the side of the prince and support the prince because of his so-called righteous sister. Because Nangong Hao's allegiance has always been the emperor, if he wants to move his heart from the emperor to the prince, I am afraid that it will be difficult.

The concubine said: "Does Nangong Hao pay attention to Xiaoyu?" ”

If Nangong Hao didn't take Li Siyu to heart at all, she would have suffered a big loss if she acquiesced to the prince marrying Li Siyu. It's better to marry Jia Feng.

The prince said: "General Nangong regards Xiaoyu as the life-saving benefactor of the Nangong family, and naturally attaches great importance to her. The reason why he didn't want to contact me was just to avoid suspicion. ”

The concubine thought about it, is this really the case?

The prince said confidently: "Erchen can be sure that no matter what Xiaoyu does, the Nangong family will support her." Except, of course, in the case of rebellion. ”

He knows Nangong Hao, Li Siyu saved his wife and children, and he will definitely repay her. If she had asked him to support him, he would have done so. Of course, this support cannot conflict with support for the emperor. He can support himself when he is fighting for power with King Heng, but he definitely supports himself against the emperor.

The concubine looked at the prince carefully, "Didn't the emperor decide to marry Miss Xiaoyu after seeing through this diǎn?" ”

Marrying Li Siyu means getting Nangong Hao's support, as long as Nangong Hao's support is not enough. As long as the crown prince does not make a big mistake, the throne must be in his pocket.

The prince smiled slightly, diǎn diǎn head. He felt that it was also a good thing for the concubine to think so, which would save him a lot of trouble.

The concubine smiled with relief, it turned out that her son was not bewitched by beauty, but had other plans.

Seeing the concubine smiling, the prince's heart also relaxed a lot, sometimes white lies are still necessary.

The concubine was originally dissatisfied with Li Siyu, and the reason why she acquiesced to the prince marrying Li Siyu was because she took a fancy to Nangong Hao behind her. If she knew that Nangong Hao would not support the prince because of Li Siyu, the concubine would definitely stop the destruction of the marriage between the prince and Li Siyu. The crown prince was worried about this diǎn, so he lied to the concubine.

In fact, he knew in his heart that it was impossible for Nangong Hao to support him, because Li Siyu would not help him at all. He knew that her purpose in marrying him was not pure. Not only will she not succeed him, but she will try her best to destroy him.

At first, Li Siyu sat in the gazebo to enjoy the flowers, but there were too many people around her. Everyone, you ask me every word. Li Siyu was really in no mood to answer their boring questions, so he found an excuse to slip away.
