Today, the queen held a chrysanthemum banquet in Fengyi Palace, in fact, it was just a name, and the purpose was to feast on Xining.

Xi Ning had already prepared, and in Jianye was to entertain these noble ladies and officials, although it was very boring, but he had to entertain.

Freedom and power are always one and the other.

The crown prince Mu Tianhong accompanied Xi Ning to Fengyi Palace, and asked his mother to say goodbye by the way.

After the ceremony, the queen took Xi Ning's hand and smiled kindly: "You came early, and the daughters-in-law in the palace have not come to ask for peace." Let's go to enjoy the flowers first, Hong'er, you can also talk to me! ”

Xi Ning still had a smile on his face, but he was a little dissatisfied in his heart: You are talking to your own son, why are you pulling me!

So not long after walking out of the hall, Xi Ning found an excuse to change his clothes.

The queen smiled and said to Mu Tianhong: "This Xining is a person with eyes. ”

"The queen mother must not only treat her as a princess, she is the queen daughter." Mu Tianhong reminded.

The queen was silent for a moment, perhaps adjusting her mentality: "Your imperial grandmother summoned the county lord of Lixue to come back, and I am afraid that it will arrive in two days." Have you thought of a countermeasure? ”

Mu Tianhong paused for a moment before saying, "Actually, there is no need for countermeasures at all. ”

"Do you not know what your imperial grandmother means, or do you plan to let the county lord of Lixue and Fan Qiuling check and balance?" The queen frowned slightly.

"The son understands the emperor's grandmother's plans, but Fan Qiuling doesn't need checks and balances at all. Even if there are a few people with poor wrists, they can still contain her," Mu Tianhong analyzed, "The reason why there is no need for countermeasures is because Lord Lixue will not be at the mercy of the imperial grandmother. Her father also needs her to guard the border now. ”

"Yes," the queen sighed, "once the military power of the Yu Palace's palace falls into the hands of the fourth child. That's dangerous. ”

"Yuwangfu also understands this truth, so he will not let the Lixue County Lord be at the mercy." Mu Tianhong added.

"But in any case, you still have to take precautions in advance, so as not to be surprised," the queen instructed, "just in case Rong Qinglan gives birth to the emperor's eldest grandson...... This child can't be given birth! ”

Mu Tianhong was a little embarrassed: "Queen Mother, now that the Queen Mother and Concubine Zhao are staring, it's really not a good time!" ”

"There's no hurry. There are still six months, and we take our time. The queen frowned slightly.

And at this time, King Yu's mansion. The eldest princess of Jingchen was also worried about this matter.

"For today's plan, except for letting the imperial brother suppress the idea of the queen mother, I really don't know what to do!"

Xia Yichen looked at his worried mother: "But in fact, this idea is the best, I don't know if my mother dares to say it." And in what way. ”

The eldest princess thought for a moment: "I entered the palace today. Exploring the mother's mouth. Anyway, the next snow is still a few days away, and we still have time. ”

"That's fine." Xia Yichen nodded.

"Today's queen banqueted Hua Xu's crown princess," the gentle smile of the eldest princess of Jingchen showed a little curiosity, "Her beauty was rumored in Beijing early yesterday morning, you are responsible for receiving Hua Xu this time, why haven't you ever heard of it?" Is it in vain? ”

Xia Yichen couldn't laugh or cry.

He never cared about Xi Ning's appearance, in the past, and now...... What's more, he and Xi Ning - if he came back, he would pull his mother and tell Xi Ning how beautiful he was. This is not thinking about the showdown of my mother, saying that I have a crush on Xining. And what is it?

Could it be that now is the opportunity for a showdown?

I'm afraid that my mother won't be able to accept it for a while and do something to hurt Xi Ning, which is not what he likes to see.

"Mother, His Royal Highness Xi Ning is not in vain. It's just that I don't really care much about that. Xia Yichen responded lightly.

The eldest princess Jingchen was worried that he was still thinking about the old ugly, so she persuaded tactfully: "You are not young anymore, if you fall in love with any girl, tell your mother." ”

Xia Yichen was a little hesitant: "Mother, what if this girl's background and status are not suitable for me?" ”

The eldest princess of Jingchen had already stood up, but at this moment she sat down again, smiling gently: "Which girl do you have a crush on?" As a result, you haven't even seen the legendary Hua Xu Xunning, who is peerless? ”

Xia Yichen couldn't cry or laugh even more. In the past, he would mostly tell his mother what he was thinking. His mother has been dependent on him for so many years, and it has become a habit to respect his mother.

But in the matter of Xi Ning, he still thinks it is better not to be reckless.

"At present, it's still the advanced palace, this matter is not in a hurry." Xia Yichen changed the subject.

"It's a small matter to enter the palace, I can enter at any time, but my son's matter is important, and I can't slack off for a moment," the eldest princess Jingchen smiled softly, but her eyes were wise, "Are you afraid that the girl's status is too low, and her mother will object?" In fact, after so many years, I have taken many things lightly. If you can fall in love, it is really more precious than anything else! ”

She closed her eyes with a sigh. At the beginning, she sacrificed her life's happiness, and she didn't want to see her son repeat the same mistakes.

Xia Yichen smiled bitterly: "Mother, it's not that her status is too low, but that her status is too high!" ”

The eldest princess of Jingchen wondered, "Which princess do you have a crush on?" ”

"Mother, you must keep this secret for me," Xia Yichen was a little helpless, "Xi Ning is a ugly." ”

The eldest princess rarely showed a surprised expression, but now she was shocked.

Xining? Ugly!

It took her a while to say a word: "Are you going to follow Xining to Huaxu?" But the first sentence is the crux of the matter.

"Mother, I hope you can go to Huaxu with me." Xia Yichen was very solemn.

When the eldest princess heard the news suddenly, she couldn't accept it, so she didn't answer.

Xia Yichen couldn't help but be worried, and he continued to add: "Mother, my left hand has been healed by Xi Ning. ”

The eldest princess of Jingchen had a mixture of joy and sorrow between her eyebrows, and hurriedly walked over to pick up her son's hand to check: "So, she found Fenglin?" ”

This is understandable, but there are some differences. The first thing she did when she came to Daqian was to heal my hands, but because she didn't want me to be embarrassed, she kept hiding her own identity, and planned to return to Huaxu alone after everything was done. If her son hadn't recognized her, she probably wouldn't have admitted that she was a ugly person anyway. Xia Yichen sighed.

The eldest princess pondered for a long time before saying, "I'll go see her." ”

"Mother," Xia Yichen was very entangled, he wanted his mother not to embarrass Xi Ning, but when the words came to his lips, it became, "Xi Ning is a very good girl, my mother has always been generous and talented, and she will definitely like her." "Maybe it's more beneficial to Xi Ning to say this.

"I know the way, I'll enter the palace." The eldest princess smiled gently.

In Fengyi Palace, Fan Qiuling and Rong Qinglan had just walked in when they met Mu Tianhong, who had left.

After the ceremony, Mu Tianhong told his crown princess Fan Qiuling a few words, and then returned to the East Palace.

Rong Qinglan walked a few steps, and his eyes fell on Xi Ning, who was accompanying the queen to enjoy the flowers in the distance, and couldn't help laughing: "I said why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told his sister-in-law so diligently, it turned out that he was afraid that his sister-in-law would collide with His Royal Highness Xi Ning." By the way, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accompanied His Royal Highness Xi Ning for a day yesterday, and he accompanied His Royal Highness Xi Ning to greet his mother so early today. A peerless beauty like His Royal Highness Xi Ning, sister-in-law, you have to be careful! ”

Fan Qiuling gritted her teeth: "In addition to instigating discord, what other tricks do you have?" Nothing can be on the stage! ”

"Ouch, it's really a dog biting Lu Dongbing who doesn't know the hearts of good people," Rong Qinglan's smile became softer and softer, "I'm reminding you to be careful, no matter what, my sister-in-law has no heirs to take care of now." This man, who is not impressed when he sees a beauty? There is no exception! ”

Fan Qiuling is still stubborn in her mouth, but she has already buried a thorn in her heart.

Not long after, the concubines in the palace have also come, but the topic is still as single as ever, except for what styles of jewelry and clothes are popular this year, which gossip is it. Xi Ning really admired them: even if it is such a single topic, it can be repeated for so long, I really don't know where I learned this ability.

Fortunately, she has a special status, so it doesn't matter if she is silent.

However, Rong Qinglan was bent on pleasing her.

Rong Qinglan held his waist that had not yet shown his arms, sat down beside Xi Ning, who was far away from everyone, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is not used to it?" ”

"It's not very customary," Xi Ning didn't shy away from it, "In our Huaxu, there has never been a time when so many women get together to talk. ”

What's going on? In the past, she was an ugly, and Rong Qinglan only thought about how to kill her; Now that she is Xi Ning, Rong Qinglan is thinking about how to please her.

Feng Shui takes turns, thirty years in the east of the river and thirty years in the west of the river.

"Hua Xu is really a treasure of feng shui," Rong Qinglan was a little envious, "It's a pity that I wasn't born there." ”

Xi Ning understands where Rong Qinglan's yearning comes from, a woman like her who is so strong is indeed humiliated when she was born in Daqian. However, born in Huaxu, it is estimated that he was also executed, and his moral character is too poor: "It is not our choice where we are born, but what kind of people we are with and what kind of things we do are our own choices." ”

Rong Qinglan's eyes lit up: "Yes, what kind of road to take is our own choice!" ”

"But, here comes the question again," Xi Ning smiled indifferently, "Is the end of this road the top of the mountain or the abyss?" ”

"Whether it's the top of the mountain or the abyss, how can you know the result of the road if you don't take a walk?" Rong Qinglan raised his head slightly, his expression determined.

Xi Ning fiddled with the purple chrysanthemum in his hand: "I think it depends on what method you use." In the way of justice, it is the top of the mountain; The method of using the yin owl is the abyss. ”

Rong Qinglan disagreed, but he didn't refute Xi Ning: "His Royal Highness Xi Ning is very insightful. But in his heart, he slandered: Justice, if you seek justice, you don't even have your life, where does it come from?

Xi Ning also knew that Lu Dao Rong Qinglan would not approve, and thought: The justice I am talking about is to conform to the way of the world and not harm innocent people. When you offend everyone in a gloomy way, how can you win the hearts of the people and win the world?

But Rong Qinglan won't understand. At least until she fails, she won't understand.

Most talented people don't know how to dance with long sleeves, which is about the fairness of God, and one person can't be allowed to take it all. (To be continued......)
