Zheng Rui lost his mother at the age of eight, and then lived a very difficult life in the palace in the next few years, and followed Prince Jing out of the palace to live in another place at a young age, just because there were still worries about his life in the deep palace, which was really a last resort. He and Emperor Yufeng seem to have only the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, but there is no intention of father and son.

Therefore, during this period of time, Zheng Rui and Gu Qingwan would only call Emperor Yufeng "him", and they must still have some resentment in their hearts.

Gu Qingwan was only a little surprised when she first heard it, but she also understood Zheng Rui's thoughts. It is said that the heavenly family is ruthless, even if there is great affection between each other, but it is gradually exhausted under the temptation of once reaching the top.

Just thinking about the words I said to Zheng Rui yesterday, the mother-in-law outside shouted "It's here" by the window. Gu Qingwan lifted the curtain and took a look, the stone lion in front of the gate of King Jing's Mansion flashed by, and the carriage had already entered King Jing's Mansion through the side door.

Mama Jiang personally greeted her behind the gate, and escorted Gu Qingwan all the way to the lakeside building of King Jing's Mansion. The building was built by the water and was divided into two floors, but Princess Jing was already waiting below. Seeing Gu Qingwan coming, he hurriedly got up and took Gu Qingwan's hand, and said with a smile: "I waited in the pavilion early in the morning, and when I heard that you entered the hemp, I hurriedly asked Mama Jiang to pick it up." ”

Gu Qingwan saw that Princess Jing was not as upright as before, and the smile on her face was obviously a little more sincere, but she was a little flattered: "The imperial sister-in-law has lifted me, Mama Jiang is the old man next to the imperial sister-in-law, and I have to trouble her to go on a trip in person, I feel a little unhappy." ”

Even if she didn't hear anything from Zou Simin, Gu Qingwan could be sure in her heart that the one who would win the throne in the future would definitely be Prince Jing. Princess Najing is the future mother of the country, no matter what her attitude towards herself, Gu Qingwan has to be respectful to her.

Prince Jing has Queen Chen and Chen Guogong's Mansion as backers, and he also pulled Huai Wangfu and Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, even Liguo's Mansion also secretly took refuge, not to mention that Jing Wangye can still borrow the power of the Song family in Jiangnan. Now the only one who can compete with Prince Jing is Prince Ke from Concubine Xian.

But what kind of character is this King Ke? Although everyone knows that King Ke is known as a virtuous person, this is only superficial work. If Prince Ke was really a good man, he would not want to compete with the first prince for the throne, and would want to kill the first prince and replace him.

If it is really Prince Ke who has seized the throne, presumably the remaining princes, he will also want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

can look at Zou Simin's attitude, you can know that Zheng Rui will most likely rise to the top in the future, so it is self-evident who the winner of the competition for the crown is, of course. Because of this, Prince Jing was temporarily sent to Jiangnan, and Gu Qingwan didn't feel that the situation was unfavorable.

But thinking about what Zheng Rui said yesterday, she felt a little worried in her heart.

The Tai Hospital secretly handed over the news that Emperor Yufeng was about to run out of oil and the lamp was dry, and Prince Jing was temporarily transferred to Jiangnan to supervise the salt administration, but there was no trace of wind coming out of King Huai's side. Was it Emperor Yufeng's temporary idea, or did King Huai have something in mind?

Gu Qingwan never thought that there was a layer of unchanging people and things in the world, and her appearance was the biggest variable. Princess Rui changed from Qiao Sixiang to Gu Qingwan, and the Qiao family actually set an in-law with Huai Wangfu, so who was the one who married Candle in the previous life?

In the last life, was it not Lord Jing who was sent to Jiangnan to supervise the salt administration, or did things change again because of her appearance? Every time she thought of these things, Gu Qingwan regretted it a little, or blamed Zheng Rui for acting too quickly. If Zou Simin is still alive, at least there is news from the previous life as a reference.

However, Gu Qingwan also knew that Zou Simin was just married to a squire's family, and she was afraid that she didn't know about the conspiracy and conspiracy in the court, and she only knew about the major events of changing the dynasty. If it weren't for the coincidence of meeting Mei Rui Zou Simin, I'm afraid I wouldn't know so many things about the Rui Wangfu.

Princess Jing took Gu Qingwan's hand and went to the pavilion on the second floor, and there were already several plates of dim sum on the octagonal table, all of which were placed on lotus leaf trays carved from jade, which was very beautiful.

Princess Jing shook her head at the maid beside her, and the maid came forward to pour tea for Gu Qingwan, and Princess Jing smiled and said: "This is lotus leaf tea, which I brought from the south when I married in Beijing, and then after planting lotus in this pool, I asked the maid around me to make some." It is a tea made with the dew on the lotus leaves, and it is the best to clear heat and calm the nerves, and it is the best time to drink it at this time. ”

Gu Qingwan took a sip in Princess Jing's eager gaze, she couldn't taste anything, but she did have a sweet taste, so she just smiled and said, "I'm not bad at drinking." ”

"It's good to be able to enter, there are many ladies in the clan who are not used to drinking, and only Princess Huai felt that she could still enter before." Princess Jing replied with a smile.

This sentence seemed unintentional, Princess Jing mentioned Princess Huai at this time, but Gu Qingwan had to think about it more.

Her eyes flashed, and she pondered for a while before she said, "Princess Huai introduced the ladies in the clan for me before, but I was a little bitter, and I only recognized a familiar face and refused to go out again. I don't know how to interact with people, and after a while, when the weather gets cooler, I ask my sister-in-law to walk around. ”

Princess Jing smiled a little more, said yes in a loud voice, and said that she had a lot of miscellaneous things in the house some time ago, so she had to be idle.

Gu Qingwan breathed a long sigh in her heart, whether it was Princess Huai or Princess Jing, they were those ladies in the clan, and they all liked to talk when they spoke. If it weren't for the cold to snub Zheng Rui, Gu Qingwan originally didn't plan to walk around with those ladies in the clan.

Besides, she has a high position, and most of the ladies in those clans also let her score three points, but Princess Huai is different from Princess Jing, she has to think about every word, and then she is really tired.

Seeing that Gu Qingwan was no longer restrained, Princess Jing said a lot to Gu Qingwan in a scattered manner, from Empress Chen to Lord Wanhua, and also said a lot of things about Zheng Rui's previous affairs in King Jing's mansion.

It wasn't until Gu Qingwan's tea bottomed out that she saw a group of people walking towards this side of the corridor from a distance, and it wasn't until the distance was closer that Gu Qingwan saw a group of maids and women coming over with a small child.

Gu Qingwan remembered that Prince Jing and Princess Jing had a son named Zheng He, who was three years old this year. Speaking of which, Gu Qingwan has been in Ruiwang's Mansion for almost half a year, and she only saw Zheng He on the second day of the wedding

Princess Jing naturally also saw Zheng He walking this way, and the expression on her face suddenly softened a little. When those people arrived here, only the nurse brought Zheng He up, and the other maids and women were waiting below.

Princess Jing personally took Zheng He from the nurse's arms, and then instructed everyone: "Just leave Mei Xiang to serve here, you all go down, and the prince will rest with me today." ”

The maids at the bottom retreated cleanly, and the remaining big maids went to the lake to guard, leaving only one maid standing on the spiraling stairs in the pavilion.

Gu Qingwan knew that Princess Jing was afraid that she had something to ask her, but she didn't expect Princess Jing to stuff Zheng He in her arms into her, and said softly: "Qingwan is afraid that she hasn't spoken to He'er, you are his serious aunt, you should also hug him." ”

After saying that, Princess Jing touched Zheng He's head again and said, "He'er, this is the wife of your Fifth Emperor Uncle, call your aunt quickly." ”

Zheng He sat on Gu Qingwan's lap, but he was not restless at all, Gu Qingwan stiffened his hands and wrapped around him, for fear that he would fall if he was not careful.

"Auntie······" Zheng He shouted vaguely, but his eyes did not look at Gu Qingwan, but stretched out his hand to reach the stacks of snacks on the table.

Gu Qingwan was afraid that he would overturn the hot tea and be burned, so she hurriedly removed the tea cup on the table, moved the stacks of lotus leaf trays of snacks closer, and said with a panicked expression: "Don't worry, wipe your hands first, wipe your hands clean." As he spoke, he hurriedly picked up the wet handkerchief on the table and wiped Zheng He's hands.

Princess Jing looked at Gu Qingwan's appearance, and there was a little more smile on her face: "He'er likes Ah Rui very much, after Ah Rui moved to Rui's mansion, he asked several times, and there are really not many people who can make him remember." ”

Gu Qingwan smiled, wiped Zheng He's hand clean, and asked him to take a softer point

"Ah Rui's matter, the prince only told me the day before he went to Jiangnan." Princess Jing pondered for a while before she said, "This matter is too sudden, and besides, the prince just explained such a sentence and left in a hurry, I am very worried." The prince said that if there is anything I can ask you to come over and talk, I will know that you know. ”

"If I invite Ari over and be seen by others, it will inevitably be a little stunning. Besides, we haven't had a good get-together, so I made a post, and I invite you to come over for the sake of enjoying the flowers. At the beginning, Ah Rui was just doing this to protect himself, but at this juncture, if Concubine Xian knew the truth, I was afraid that she would have to hold on to this matter. Princess Jing sighed, her expression was inexplicably a little heavy, "The prince and Ah Rui have been hiding from me for so long, and they can hide it until the dust settles, but the prince told me the truth at this time, it must be an emergency, so I have to do it." ”

Gu Qingwan was silent for a while before she said, "The imperial sister-in-law mentioned Princess Huai before, did she have an idea in her heart?" ”

She couldn't make any eyes in front of Princess Jing, so she might as well ask frankly.

"I'll talk about Ah Rui's matter later, I just want to ask the prince if this time is the original intention of his father, or is someone obstructing it? Are there any dangers in going south this time? Also, does King Huai know about it? Princess Jing slapped off Zheng He's hand that wanted to take the second piece of snack, and said in a deep voice, "You can only eat one piece, otherwise you won't be able to eat lunch again." ”

Zheng He's hand holding the snack suddenly let go, and he secretly glanced at Princess Jing, and then sat down on Gu Qingwan's lap upright.
