Gu Qingwan fed Zheng He a sip of the lotus leaf tea in her hand, and took out the cotton handkerchief in her sleeve to wipe his mouth, Princess Jing just glanced at Gu Qingwan, and then stopped talking with a smile.

Princess Jing's questions were all asked to the key point, and Gu Qingwan thought about Zheng Rui's statement that Huai Wangfu could not be fully trusted, so her mind couldn't help but be a little more solemn.

On the surface, King Jing's biggest reliance is not only Queen Chen's support, but if King Huai defects, King Jing's side will be affected to some extent.

After all, most of those courtiers were grass on the wall, and if there was any movement on King Huai's side, they could immediately change the direction of the wind.

After listening to Gu Qingwan's words, Princess Jing was silent for a while before saying: "In half a month, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet, I think you have never seen such a battle, so come with me when the time comes." The father is seriously ill, and the prince is not in Beijing, if the prince went south was designed by the virtuous concubine, this Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet must not be so simple. ”

Gu Qingwan nodded yes.

"You don't have to be nervous, after all, there is still the queen and me above, you just need to deal with it a little, and it won't be too difficult." Princess Jing saw that Gu Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief, but she felt a little funny, "No matter what King Huai's plans are now, in short, he didn't make it clear, so let's just ignore it." It's just that you go back and tell Ari to keep an eye on him secretly. ”

Although she already knew that Zheng Rui was pretending to be stupid, Princess Jing still treated him as a child, and she even said such words as "instruct".

Princess Jing was talking, Gu Qingwan felt that someone was pulling her sleeve, and she quickly glanced down her eyes to see Zheng He with his back to Princess Jing and secretly pointed to the snacks on the table.

The three-year-old child's face has not yet grown, but there is a faint shadow of Princess Jing between his faces. Gu Qingwan pinched his face, took a piece of pastry and pinched it in his hand, and stuffed it into Zheng He's hand while Princess Jing was not paying attention.

Princess Jing looked stunned, and then said with a smile: "After the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet is over, after the prince returns to Beijing, Qingwan, you can take Ah Rui to King Jing's Mansion for a light meal." I also make Sichuan duck palms very well, and when Ari was younger, he always asked me to make it myself. ”

Gu Qingwan could see that Princess Jing's attitude towards her had changed a lot, so she responded with a smile.

After Princess Jing asked the matter clearly, she instructed Mei Xiang to pass the meal, during which she told Gu Qingwan about the process and routine of the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet in previous years, and then personally sent Gu Qingwan out of the second door.

After returning from King Jing's Mansion, sure enough, many ladies from the clan and the family sent posts for two consecutive days, and Gu Qingwan refused because she was unwell. Princess Huai heard the news, so she sent a grandmother next to her to visit her, but Gu Qingwan only asked Mama Tian to deal with her, and she never saw her in person.

The palace banquet is approaching, and she is naturally focused on preparing relevant matters at home, choosing clothes, choosing jewelry, and so on.

During this period, Zheng Rui didn't even go to the outer courtyard, and he followed Gu Qingwan wherever he went every day, only saying that it was best to brake quietly now. As long as Gu Qingwan showed the slightest reluctance, he was sure that Gu Qingwan was angry. After reaching the end, Gu Qingwan was so tempered by him that she had no temper at all, so she could only bring a small tail in and out every day.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gu Qingwan did not set off from the Rui Wangfu until the time of the unitary. It was dark late in summer, and there was still residual heat outside at this hour, but fortunately, sitting in the carriage would not be stuffy.

After Zheng Rui got into the carriage, the smile on his face was put away, Gu Qingwan saw that his expression was wrong, and couldn't help but be a little more worried: "What's wrong······ Du Jing came to speak. ”

"I asked Du Jing to stare at several mansions related to the second brother early in the morning, and in the past half a month, there has been no movement in the Governing Mansion and the Plains Marquis Mansion, and the same is true for King Ke's Mansion. The third brother was not there, and King Ke did not take the opportunity to win over the courtiers, but it seemed too calm. ”

Gu Qingwan was also a little apprehensive in her heart, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Why not······ Jing Wangye went to Jiangnan to supervise the salt administration is really the meaning of today's person, and the virtuous concubine is probably because she can't figure out the intention of today, so she is unwilling to act rashly? ”

Zheng Rui sneered: "Qingwan, don't think too much about the position of the third brother in his heart. But if he had more affection back then, how could his mother die of illness, and I don't have to pretend to be crazy and stupid for so many years. ”

It was the first time for Gu Qingwan to see such a clear hatred on Zheng Rui's face, but she was a little more considerate and sympathetic to him than usual.

Her kind of assumption is indeed thinking too well of Emperor Yufeng. If Emperor Yufeng transferred Prince Jing to the south of the Yangtze River to supervise the salt administration and contain the party of Concubine Xian in Beijing, it was obviously to train Prince Jing.

If Emperor Yufeng wanted to pass on the throne to Prince Jing, I am afraid that he would have set up the crown prince long ago when Empress Chen recorded Prince Jing in her name. Zheng Rui said that he got news from the Tai Hospital not long ago that Concubine Li had invited a few warlocks who knew how to make alchemy from southern Xinjiang, and Emperor Yufeng was very interested and had already let them live in the palace.

When the first prince was still there, the court and the central government were peaceful, but now that the prince is gone, Queen Chen and Concubine Xian are fighting, and Concubine Li also wants to get a piece of the pie. The competition between several princes must have changed Emperor Yufeng's mood, and now he is interested in the Avenue of Eternal Life.

Seeing Gu Qingwan lowering her head, Zheng Rui thought about whether her tone was too harsh, and hurriedly calmed her voice and said, "You don't have to worry, I discussed it before the third brother left, and it has been deployed for a long time in the past half a month, as long as Concubine Xian does not force the palace, the rest of the situation can be dealt with." ”

Gu Qingwan was a little stunned when she heard this: "What if...... Concubine Xian took advantage of this time to force the palace? ”

Zheng Rui's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said after a while: "Don't worry, you can't get to this point, if that's the case, I will also protect you." If King Huai has no two hearts, even if Concubine Xian forces the palace, it will only end miserably. There was no movement from the imperial uncle, and the third brother went south a few days ago, but the imperial uncle met with the staff of the third brother's mansion, maybe the imperial uncle did not know. ”

Gu Qingwan nodded, thinking that King Huai might defect to the battle, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The carriage of King Jing's Mansion stopped not far from the palace gate, Gu Qingwan opened the curtain and said hello to Princess Jing, and the two carriages entered the palace in parallel. After the trip to Yikun, Zheng Rui went to the imperial study, while Gu Qingwan went to the Yongyan Palace with Princess Jing to greet Empress Chen.

As soon as Gu Qingwan arrived at the gate of Yongyan Palace, a female official in green clothes came out of it, and when she saw Princess Jing and Gu Qingwan saluting first, she smiled and said, "Niangniang heard that the two princesses were coming, so she hurriedly sent slaves and maids to greet them." Princess Huihe entered the palace after noon, and now she is talking to her mother inside, and the two princesses are invited quickly. ”

After the female official finished speaking, Gu Qingwan remembered that this was Aunt Haoyue beside Empress Chen, and besides Liu Yi, she was the most trusted by Empress Chen. Gu Qingwan heard the eldest lady say that Haoyue is also twenty-five this year, and said that she would not go out of the palace to marry after learning Liu Yi, and she would serve by Queen Chen's side for the rest of her life. Gu Qingwan fed Zheng He a sip of the lotus leaf tea in her hand, and took out the cotton handkerchief in her sleeve to wipe his mouth, Princess Jing just glanced at Gu Qingwan, and then stopped talking with a smile.

"You don't have to be nervous, after all, there is still the queen mother and me, you just need to deal with it a little, and it won't be too difficult."
