Old Madam Guo was a little unhappy when she heard this.

Last time there was a happy event at home, the Four Princes' Mansion also sent people to celebrate, although Cheng Chi received the gift, and the red and white happy events of the Four Princes' Mansion also went to join in the fun, but he never stayed in the house to eat, but showed up and left, let alone visit the Four Princes alone. In recent years, under the pretext of being on an errand in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he didn't even go to the Four Princes' Mansion, and only sent the housekeeper to congratulate him.

Cheng Chi's attitude is already obvious, but the Four Princes' Mansion seems to not know, the Cheng family has something to congratulate, and the year's gift is heavier than the year.

She asked the little maid, "Do you know what gifts you have sent?" ”

The little maid shook her head and said with honor: "Although I don't know what I sent, I heard the uncles on duty at the gate say that it was sent by the chief of the prince's mansion in person...... If you think about it, several have such decency. ”

Mrs. Guo disagreed.

Since Song Jingran returned to his hometown to guard the system, the people who were originally around Song Jingran have surrounded Zhang Hui, Cheng Chi is still the same as before, and Zhang Hui is not very close, but it is not estranged. In addition, before Song Jingran left, he recommended Cheng Chi's Pope Taisun Mathematics Technique, and people outside couldn't help but have a lot of speculation after seeing it, saying that Song Jingran's favorite disciple was Cheng Chi, but because Cheng Chi was too young and his resources were too shallow to stand alone, he had to hand over the connections in his hands to Zhang Hui. Even Zhang Hui herself muttered a little in her heart when she heard such rumors, plus there was a big problem with the taxes in Jiangnan a few days ago, and the emperor asked Song Jingran several times how long he had to keep filial piety, and he also secretly revealed that he wanted to "win love", which made Cheng Chi suddenly become a little hot.

Fortunately, Cheng Chi is not very old. has experienced a lot, no matter what the outside says, standing still, this wind is much quieter.

Now he actually sent the long history of the Four Princes' Mansion to give gifts...... Originally, this was the only treatment available to the family of the Honourable Couple or the Cabinet of Ministers.

The four princes were so attentive, at first glance, it was a weasel greeting the chicken, and he didn't have a good heart.

What's more, today is a family banquet, and no one from outside is invited at all.

Mrs. Guo made a tired face and said, "You go and tell that mother-in-law, I'm a little tired today, so I won't see her." and let Pearl send her ten taels of silver. Let her go back on an errand. ”

Chang felt that this was a bit inappropriate.

But this is the first time she has had such close contact with Mrs. Guo, and she doesn't know whether to say something or not, and there is a slight hesitation between her eyebrows.

Although she is over forty years old, she is also a new daughter-in-law. Mrs. Guo didn't want to talk to her about this. You can see her appearance. Thinking that she had been a palace maid in the Qianqing Palace for more than 20 years, after a little thought, he told her about his unhappiness.

Chang was very surprised. But I am also a little grateful.

Mrs. Guo can also discuss this kind of thing, so it can be seen that she is not taken out of sight.

She thought for a while before she said thoughtfully: "When I used to be on an errand in the Qianqing Palace, the Empress Yuan had passed away, but the four princes came to visit the emperor, sometimes alone, sometimes with His Royal Highness the Prince, but every time I came, I would mention the Empress Yuan...... He is good friends with the big eunuchs in the palaces, and he never forgets to give a gift on his birthday and New Year's Day. Later, he went out of the palace and opened the mansion, and he never forgot it...... People in the palace said that the four princes were kind and kind...... But the rules of the place where he lives are the strictest. At that time, one of the errands with me in the Qianqing Palace was transferred from the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, she was the goddaughter of the eldest aunt of the Cining Palace at that time, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old at the time, and she liked to visit the door when she was not on duty, and her mouth was sweet, and the eunuchs and female officials in the palace liked her very much. In this way, she did not know the people who served around the four princes...... I always feel that the fourth prince is just afraid that the impression is different from the one he gives people......"

Mrs. Guo listened to the "buzz" in her head.

She thought of Cheng Chi's actions since he entered Beijing.

Is he taking sides?

Didn't he know how dangerous it was?

Or is there something else in danger?

Where can Mrs. Guo still sit still.

She wanted to call Cheng Chi to ask, but she was worried about the Chang family around her.

Chang's used to do things to serve people, and it has become instinct to observe words and looks, Mrs. Guo frowned slightly, she had already guessed a few points, and simply stood up with a smile, and said, "Sister-in-law's birthday is still a while, right?" I want to go to the official house, but I don't know if I have enough time? ”

Old Madam Guo breathed a sigh of relief.

Having such a smart and clever brother and daughter-in-law who knows how much less things people have!

She smiled and instructed Agarwood to take Chang to the official room, and hurriedly called someone to find Cheng Chi, who was waiting for guests in the flower hall.

Cheng Chi quickly rushed over.

Mrs. Guo told Cheng Chi her scruples and Chang's words straight to the point.

Cheng Chi sighed, knowing that his mother was suspicious.

But what evidence did he use to convince his mother about his past life?

He had no choice but to tell Mrs. Guo about the death of the crown prince: "...... This is not something that we can solve without taking sides. It's that our Cheng family has already been involved. If you want to take yourself out, you can only take precautions and pay more attention. ”

The cause of the crown prince's death, neither Cheng Chi nor Cheng Shao told Mrs. Guo.

Old Madam Guo didn't believe it, and said, "Shiro, you tell me the truth, what happened?" Even so, you are a minister, the imperial grandson is orthodox, you should respect the imperial grandson, what is there to worry about. Did you find out something? ”

Cheng Chi simply followed Mrs. Guo's words, and found that the four princes had dealings with civil officials like him who were very capable but not high-level, as well as some intellectuals and servants in the Shanxi camp, and suspected that the four princes were peeking at Dabao, and said: "This is nothing, as you said, we just need to follow the emperor." Whoever is the emperor, we will go with whomever we want. But now it's the four princes who have given gifts for three days and two ends, and the people in Beijing are not stupid, even if I want to clear up with the Four Princes' Mansion at this time, there is no way to clear it up! ”

Old Madam Guo frowned when she listened.

Cheng Chi hurriedly comforted Mrs. Guo: "The second uncle also knows about this matter, I have discussed everything with the second uncle these days, you don't have to worry." ”

How could Old Madam Guo not be worried and want to continue asking. A little maid said through the curtain that Mrs. Peng Cheng was here.

Since several of her great-grandchildren went to school in Chaoyangmen, she has been more diligent.

Mrs. Guo had no choice but to stop the topic and invited Mrs. Peng Cheng in.

Cheng Chi and Mrs. Peng Cheng met the ceremony, exchanged a few words, and went to the flower hall to entertain the guests.

Chang, who heard the movement, also returned.

The three of them sat there smiling and talking, but Cheng Chi turned around and went to the study.

He asked Huaishan: "The last time you told me that Cheng Zhen had already talked to the Changshi of the Four Emperors' Mansion, and then through the introduction of Changshi, he was appreciated by the Four Princes, what new trends did Cheng Lu have recently." ”

Huaishan hesitated: "This month, Cheng Zhen went to the Four Princes' Mansion six times, except for one time when the Four Princes were not at home and he was received by Changshi. The other five times saw the four princes. And the four princes also left for dinner......"

"Keep staring at him." Cheng Chi said categorically, "Help him when necessary, let the four princes believe in him as soon as possible, and let him become the staff of the four princes as soon as possible." With his heart. I will definitely find a way to deal with the Cheng family's ......"

There's so much more to be done!

Huaishan smiled and replied "yes". Retreated.

Cheng Chi sat alone in the room and thought for a long time. Smiled and went to the flower hall.

Everyone has already sat down, and they can start the banquet after kowtowing to Mrs. Guo at the auspicious time.

Cheng Chi's gaze couldn't help but fall on the old lady Guo standing beside him, wearing a rose red armor. The expression was gentle and quiet, and Zhou Shaojin was on his body.

Wait for the next day off and take his little girl to the temple fair.

Let her go out for a walk too.

Don't stay at home and hang around the stove with your kids all the time.

Cheng Chi made a decision, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

Zhou Shaojin looked very happy.

These days, Cheng Chi is very tired, and every night he has to spend a quarter or two of an hour sorting out the content of the lesson for the imperial grandson, and he is also busy with the affairs of the Imperial Inspectorate, giving the old lady a birthday, so that everyone can relax and relax, and it is really right.

Zhou Shaojin pursed his lips and smiled.

Xie invited everyone to go to Hongluo Temple to offer incense.

She's going to make a vow.

Zhou Shaojin really wanted to have another one, so he gladly accepted.

Like Mrs. Peng Cheng's granddaughter-in-law, Qiu, who has already given birth to three sons, although she doesn't have to ask for children, it is good to have fun, and she also responds with a smile.

That's seven or eight people going to go.

Everyone discussed how to go, when to go, whether to stay overnight and come back...... Finally, they discussed it, but something happened the day before they left.

The third prince was suddenly exposed to adultery and disorder with the servant raised by the family during the prince's state funeral, and let that Ling give birth to a daughter.

He shouted that he was wronged, saying that the servant had just conceived before the prince died of illness, and it was impossible for him to do such a thing that did not keep filial piety.

But the time between the two events is too close, and no one dares to guarantee when the child was conceived.

The emperor is the most fraternal.

The three princes went to the Qianqing Palace several times to ask for guilt, but they were all rejected by Liu Li, the great eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, without softness or hardness.

He was so depressed that he was said to have been so thin that only his bones remained.

Zhou Shaojin felt cold in his heart when he heard this, and asked Cheng Chi in private: "Is this what the four princes did?" Did the third prince really have a daughter with the Ling, who was raised at home? ”

"I don't know if he did it." Cheng Chi said solemnly: "He did have a daughter with the Ling, who was raised at home, but as the third prince said, the time is too close to prove that he had adultery and promiscuity with Na Ling during the period of national filial piety." As he spoke, his voice gradually lowered, he said, "However, it is true that the four princes are contributing to the trouble--after the maid became pregnant, the third prince was afraid of being made a fuss about it, so he ordered someone to kill the maid. Who knew that the man had suddenly disappeared. The third prince searched for a long time but didn't find it, and he didn't dare to make a noise, so he gradually put this matter aside. In fact, that Lingren had already been taken to Beizhuang by the four princes to cultivate...... He's just shaking it out now......"

"The four princes are too ruthless." Zhou Shaojin couldn't help muttering when he heard this, "Even pregnant women and children have to use ...... The third prince is too unreliable, doesn't he want to fight for the throne with the fourth prince? Such nonsense, how can it be Mingjun! ”
