"Second Young Lady Gu, I know that you are not with the crown prince." Chu took a sip of tea and said leisurely.

Qin Niang raised her eyebrows and looked at her, not understanding why she suddenly said this.

"The Chu family is willing to form an alliance with you to pull the crown prince down from the position of the East Palace." Chu Shi spoke again without being shocked.

Qin Niang looked at her in surprise for a while, saying that it was fake not to be shocked, and after a long while, she snorted: "Why?" ”

She didn't think that the Chu clan knew that she and Gu Chen had already started to help Song Yu, especially now that Song Yu was not in Beijing, and they didn't have any intersection on weekdays, so the Chu clan's sudden side of the line was a temptation? Or do you want to pull her and Gu Chen to help her?

Seeing that Qin Niang didn't speak, the Chu family simply made her words clear at one time: "I know, I suddenly ran to the door and said this, the second young lady Gu may not believe me too much, after all, our Chu family also has a seventh prince, if I say that I am willing to sincerely ally with you and pull the prince off the horse with you, you may think that I am selfish." ”

Qin Niang silently took a sip of tea, noncommittal to her words.

Although the Seventh Prince is a little younger, if he wants to win the heir, he can indeed fight, not to mention, no one does not want his family to take the throne, if the Chu family will help others to win the heir, she does not believe it.

"Although the Chu family is said to be the outer family of the Seventh Prince, whether it is the Chu family or the Seventh Prince, we are not interested in that position, and we don't want the Seventh Prince to compete for that position, so if Gu Shao and the Young Lady have a candidate, my Chu family is willing to accompany them." In fact, Chu Shi already had a faint guess in her heart, but she didn't want to say it rashly until she got a definite answer.

"The Seventh Prince doesn't want to participate in the succession?" Qin Niang was really surprised this time, the five princes and his grandfather's family have done so many things, and the seventh prince is only a little bit younger than the fifth prince, if you want to fight, he is at least more than the fifth prince Wen Yuan Hou family has no male heir, but Wen Yuan Hou is still in the prime of life, and Wen Yuan Hou Mansion can still prosper for several years.

"Since the King of Ling did those things, our Chu family has seen it through, for that position, it is not worth it to lose himself and the family behind him, besides, we all know very well that Xiao Qi has no chance of winning in this struggle for succession, and even if he is allowed to sit in that position in the future, he does not have the ability to stabilize this great country." What is the situation of Donglin now, the Chu family knows very well.

Although she is a woman in the inner house, she is the eldest daughter of Wen Yuanhou, and she has been taught by Wen Yuanhou since she was a child, and the pattern is naturally not limited to the inner house.

Today's Donglin looks like a great river and mountain, but in fact, it is surrounded by wolves, if there is no capable and courageous monarch on the throne, I am afraid that Donglin will soon be finished.

If you don't have enough ability, why should you fight for that position, if you become a loser in the future, you will be reviled by the world.

"I know that Xiao Qi can't afford to sit in that position, so if you want to pull the prince off the horse, it won't be to win the heir for him, what kind of person is the prince, I believe you and I both know that if he is really put on the throne in the future, we will all have to die." Who is Song Huai, as the former princess of Ling, she has been fighting with the prince for so many years, she knows better than anyone else.

Although King Ling has now been dispatched, after all, the Chu family once married King Ling, and in order to help King Ling before, they naturally did some things to block the prince, so how could the prince let them go in the future?

In order to survive, she had to choose another Maven.

"In order to show my sincerity, and to thank Mrs. Gu Shao for her reminder before, I think I can tell Mrs. Gu a message." Chu didn't care whether Qin Niang believed what she said or not, she just finished what she was going to say on this trip, "I heard that Taifu Wen intends to marry his granddaughter to the prince, and a polo party will be held soon, and then the sons and young ladies of the major families in the capital will be invited, I bumped into Miss Yan's personal maid in the pharmacy yesterday, she bought some amaranth, as for what to do, I think with the wisdom of the young lady, I should be able to guess." ”

After speaking, she didn't stay long, got up and bowed her head at her and was about to go out, and before leaving, she didn't forget to add a sentence: "If the young lady thinks about it, you can come to Wenyuan Houfu to find me at any time." ”

When she went out, her maid followed, and the master and servant quickly disappeared at the end of the hall.

Qin Niang sat alone in the hall and drank half a cup of tea, then stood up and returned to Qin Garden.

"What is Miss Chu looking for you?" As soon as he stepped into the house, Gu Chen grabbed her and sat on his lap, put his arm around her waist, and put his chin on her shoulder and asked.

"She's going to make an alliance with me." Qin Niang thought, this scene seems familiar.

The fourth princess Song Ru was also like this last time, which made her suddenly feel as if she was really a great character, and they all wanted to pull her into the gang.

"The current status of the Chu family is also embarrassing, they were married to King Ling before, and now although they have drawn a clear line, after all, they have offended Song Huai a lot, and now they want to find a tough backstage, and it is normal for them to find you to form an alliance." Gu Chen said lightly.

For the time being, those in Beijing have already stood in line, and the division of forces has been very clear.

But those people are not the best choice, and Wen Yuanhou is naturally not stupid enough to push the Chu family to a desperate situation and take refuge in some unreliable people.

"Although it's not clear where we're standing at the moment, I always feel like she's guessed who we're helping, otherwise, why would she give up the Seven Princes and not help, but firmly ally with me?" Qin Niang was almost certain that the other party seemed to know something.

"Unclear? Madame, you are so naïve. Gu Chen reached out and pinched her cheek, and said in a doting tone, "The fourth princess has been protecting you when she was in the palace, others may not be able to see it, do you think the girl raised by Wen Yuan will not be able to see it?" ”

Nawen Yuan has no son, those two daughters have been cultivated as men since childhood, their horizons cannot be narrow, and they cannot be fools, Song Ru's attitude towards Qin Niang is obviously much more intimate than others, on the surface, it looks like a deed of daughter's family, but after thinking about it deeply, Song Ru is pulling teammates for her own brother.

"So, should we trust her?" Qin Niang thought about it and asked.

"Let's see, don't rush to make a decision." Gu Chen said, hugged her and got up and said, "The kitchen has already prepared a meal, let's eat first." ”

Qin Niang nodded, and suddenly remembered what Chu had just said, Yan Jing's personal maid went to the pharmacy to buy amaranth, and then contacted Taifu Wen about his intention to marry Song Huai, and always felt that something would happen at the polo match at that time.

It's just that even if something happens, what does it have to do with her? Why did Chu specifically tell her?

Could it be that if Jing Jing can't be done, the crown princess will rely on her?

But soon she found out, because the Wen family also handed her a post and invited her to participate together.

Qin Niang stared at the gilded post, her expression was very complicated.

"Miss, since Mrs. Wen intends to marry his granddaughter to the crown prince, he just asked some young ladies from the family to support the scene, and other families can also take this opportunity to see each other, but why do you want to invite you? You're all married. Qiu Xue asked inexplicably.

"How do I know, I'm not Mrs. Wen." Qin Niang handed the post to Qiu Tao and asked her to put it away, "Moreover, our relationship with the Wen family is not good, so I wondered why these people have to send me posts at every turn." ”

"Maybe I want to ask Miss to be a referee, after all, in the past, when those noble ladies held banquets, they would send posts to Miss, and besides, my uncle is now a good third product, a close minister of the Son of Heaven, they just want to do a good job in family relations, so they can't help but invite you." Qiu Tao guessed.

"The slaves and maids always think that they are uneasy and kind." Qiu Xue sneered and said, "Miss Yan used to always like to put on the score of the crown princess, but now that she has dissolved the marriage contract and wants to marry a waste Cheshire prince, she should be very distorted in her heart, and I don't know if there will be a fight when we meet." ”

Moreover, the relationship between Yan Jing and Wen Jingshu seemed to be good in the past, but now that the crown princess has been replaced by someone else, this Miss Yan can't bear it no matter what.

Just thinking about that image makes people excited.

"Don't patronize and watch the excitement, when the time comes, as soon as you enter the polo field, you keep an eye on the girl next to Yan Jing for me, it's best to bring more medicinal powder made by Mama Jin, don't let your young lady I don't know if I'm calculated by then." Qin Niang said lightly.

"Don't worry, Miss, the slave knows." Qiu Xue said, and went to the side courtyard next to her to find Mama Jin to check the medicine.

Qin Niang expected that the polo game of Mrs. Wen would be very lively, but she didn't expect it to be so lively, he not only invited the children and nobles of the whole capital, but also invited countless noblewomen, and the royal princes of marriageable age arrived except for Song Yu.

The queen and her concubines also came.

This is not a general arrangement.

As soon as Qin Niang stepped on the viewing platform, she saw Yan Jing sitting there with a black face, exuding a thick depression all over her body, and the eyes that stared at her were more lethal than ever.

Qin Niang thought, this person can't be the crown princess, and he really has to be distorted.

However, this is all decided by their Yan family, and she can only obey the arrangement no matter how unconvinced she is.

After saluting the nobles, Mrs. Wen Taifu spoke: "I heard that Mrs. Gu Er Young Lady has a unique tea art, I wonder if you can show us today?" ”

As soon as she finished saying this, the nobles sitting in a row looked at her in unison.

"Mrs. Taifu has won the award, and she will never dare to be it, but if you don't mind, the courtiers will offer a scandal." Facing the different eyes of a group of people, Qin Niang didn't dare to say no, so she could only respond.

Soon, the maids brought up the tea tray and other utensils, and the polo game was about to start.

Qin Niang glanced towards the court, Wen Jingshu led her horse to the field, looked at the prince and smiled, and then turned over on the horse.
