Although it is the New Year, but not long before this, after a bloody storm, this Spring Festival, the people of the capital are not happy!

The people don't know how the situation will develop, whether the peaceful days that have just passed will continue, although it is still the hot kang head of the wife and children, but it will inevitably cast a shadow.

And the family of the hundred officials is not much better, the backbone of the family is not in the capital, and almost experienced a catastrophe, bleeding and seeing red, the capital is still like this, so the situation in Mount Tai is not even more dangerous? The people who were sent out to inquire about the news did not stop one trip after another, but there was no news back, although the relationship was good, although they were able to exchange news, but most of them did not have any substance to calm people's hearts, so the eyes of the big guys were fixed on the direction of the second prince's mansion, Chu Wangfu and even the palace.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Xiaoyu took a large family into the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother, and the children of the clan who stayed in the capital were surrounded by Fengxi Palace.

On the third day of the new year, Jiang Xiaoyu discussed with Princess Jingyun and decided to hold a banquet in the second prince's mansion, and it was very lively and grand, and all the young ladies were invited to gather together! It is also a reassuring pill for those who are staring at their two mansions, and Taishan will definitely be fine!

The weather on this day is also very cooperative, the sun is full, brilliant and abnormal, as if the hearts of everyone's faces are covered, everyone has a lively smile on their faces, and the words are also saying auspicious words for the New Year, chatting about clothes and jewelry, chatting about the most fashionable things recently, the big guys also know the meaning of this banquet, naturally they will not be uninteresting, saying untimely and unhappy words, leaving only a lively scene.

"Look at your face is not very good, you haven't rested for the past two days, right?" Jiang Xiaoyu pulled Princess Jingyun's arm and asked.

"Where is the time to close your eyes, you're just afraid that it's similar to me!" Princess Jingyun smiled bitterly, "The people who should take the idea are not there, so the things that should be taken care of in this capital are waiting for us to take the idea, and the things that should not be taken care of should also be the idea!" The chaos has just passed, and there are too many things after the improvement, and I can't expect General Changsun to clean it up all by himself, where it should be helped, I still have to help! ”

She sighed softly: "I used to think that I was managing the big and small things in the Second Prince's Mansion, and I felt that it was very busy, but now I only think that what this old man is doing is also very troublesome!" It's no better than if I make a wrong decision, there is a chance to change, once I get the wrong idea, it will be troublesome! ”

"yes!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, "There are always some people who come to me to ask me what I mean, no matter how big or small things are, I'm annoyed, if I know the place, I can still think about one or two, those things I don't understand at all, ask me I'm also at a loss!" ”

"They just need a responsible person, and you really need to understand!" Princess Jingyun smiled and said, "Is there any news ahead?" ”

"The news of the capital was handed over there, and the news that the Empress Dowager received last time was that Her Majesty had just arrived at the foot of Mount Tai!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "When this news comes back, it will take a few days to get it quickly, but I estimate that I should be able to receive some news in the next two days!" ”

The two of them said this here, and from time to time someone glanced at them, so they had to smile at any time, for fear that a slight frown would make people understand different meanings.

Because of the calm performance of the princess and the second princess in recent days, and their active participation in the aftermath of the follow-up matters in the capital, coupled with Jiang Xiaoyu's deliberate letting people spread the news that everything is going well in Mount Tai's sacrifice to the sky, the hearts of the people in the capital have finally stabilized, and there has been no fluctuation.

Jiang Xiaoyu was on the night of the fourth day of the lunar month, and received the news from the front, at that time she had already fallen asleep, someone came to the palace, and the queen mother announced her to enter the palace.

When she arrived at Fengxi Palace, the Queen Mother's face was very heavy, Concubine De was with her, and after Jiang Xiaoyu asked for peace, the Queen Mother didn't say anything, just asked her to wait, and after a while, Princess Jingyun also arrived.

At this time, the Queen Mother asked Mama Qu to circulate the letter from the front to Jiang Xiaoyu and Princess Jingyun, after the two read it, their faces became solemn at the same time, everything was as they expected, and the eldest grandson Hu really chose to rebel when he sacrificed to the sky! It's just that Jiang Xiaoyu felt a little surprised that the third prince would actually do it in front of Changsun Hu, but it had already failed, he actually could choose to do it with Changsun Hu, if Changsun Hu succeeded, he was afraid that he would be the emperor and then kill back to the capital, he would do it himself in advance, even if he succeeded, in front of everyone, he was afraid that it would be difficult to get out, could it be that he just wanted to assassinate His Majesty!

The Queen Mother sighed deeply: "This is the battle situation ahead!" Now Your Majesty, they called the rebel army led by the traitor Changsun Hu, besieged Mount Tai...... Now as long as he cuts off the grain and grass supplied by us and does not let people go up the mountain, His Majesty and they will be trapped on the top of Mount Tai, and the path on the line of Mount Tai is steep, and it is not easy for our soldiers to rush up! ”

"The matter of sacrificing to the sky, Your Majesty has been planning for a long time, and he will definitely not let the eldest grandson Hu succeed so easily!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "And this battle report is still a few days ago, the current situation may not be as dangerous as imagined, Your Majesty must have a backhand!" ”

"The mourning family believes that His Majesty will definitely come back safely!" The Queen Mother looked at the three women in the hall, "But since it is a war, naturally there are few casualties, and there are few Mandate of Heaven, and the mourning family must also plan for the worst!" Listen, if Your Majesty and the second child can't come back, and the mourning family wants to make the fifth child the emperor, they will definitely not be able to let him succeed! You'd better be prepared in your hearts, and don't be overly sad and messy when the time comes! Even if Mount Tai loses, this capital can't let the rebels attack, as long as the capital can be stabilized, King Qin's division will naturally return! The minds of a few of you must also be stabilized, the country will be in chaos, and there will inevitably be many demons, you must not be deceived! ”

"Queen Mother......" Concubine De's face changed slightly, and a thousand words surged in her heart, and finally they were piled up on her lips, making it difficult to spit out, "Everything obeys the orders of the Queen Mother!" ”

Princess Jingyun's face was a little pale, and she was flustered for a while, she glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu, quickly lowered her eyes, and said: "Although Erchen is the princess of Chen Guo, she is now the princess of the Great Zhou, and she must take the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Zhou Dynasty as the priority, and the sons and daughters obey the orders of the Queen Mother, no matter when it happens, they will be by the Queen Mother's side, focusing on the overall situation!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu raised his eyes and glanced at the Queen Mother, and said: "If the front is really snobbish, Jiang Xiaoyu will definitely not share the sky with the traitor, stabilize the situation, and the capital must not be chaotic is also what the father and the son said to Xiaoyu before leaving, Xiaoyu remembered it in his heart, if it is beneficial to the Jiangshan Sheji, Xiaoyu will definitely obey the orders of the Queen Mother!" ”

The Queen Mother nodded, looking more and more tired: "Your heart mourning family knows, as long as our mother and son are of the same heart, we don't have to be afraid of anything!" is still the same sentence, as long as the mourning family is still alive, it will not be chaotic in this capital! It's not too early, go back and rest! But now after all, it's not as good as usual, so be more careful! ”

"Yes!"

Out of Fengxi Palace, Princess Jingyun hurriedly took Jiang Xiaoyu's hand and said worriedly: "Did the imperial grandmother know some news that we don't know, which made my heart go up!" The people sent out to inquire about the news in the palace have not yet returned, and it is impossible to make people think nonsense! ”

"The news that the Queen Mother got can only be three or four days ago!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "She said that she was planning for the worst, don't be careful, I don't think Your Majesty will take risks, this time it must be like when she was in the grassland, she must have already laid a lot of foreshadowing, just waiting to give the eldest grandson a surprise one by one!" ”

"Although I said this, I ...... in my heart," Princess Jingyun's brows furrowed, "In the past, I only knew that the second prince and the third prince competed for the crown prince, but now I remember that he also has a younger brother!" ”

"You mean the fifth?"

Princess Jingyun lowered her voice: "I only tell you this, I also talked to Xiang Gong in private, my father loves the art of balance, if the third child really collapses, Xiang Gong doesn't know when he will receive his father's suspicion, if His Majesty really cultivates a fifth child, it will be safe for Xiang Gong!" It's just that Xianggong has a good relationship with the fifth child, and I just hope that it won't end up between him and the third child! ”

"The fifth child is still too young...... Jiang Xiaoyu said, "The second prince already has military merits, if he equalizes the eldest grandson Hu this time, he will win the hearts of the people, and the position of the prince is irreplaceable!" As long as the second prince is cautious in the future, His Majesty will not touch him! ”

Princess Jingyun lowered her eyes and smiled strangely: "Xianggong's conduct...... It's not that he doesn't know how to be low-key and cautious, but for you, for the sake of the Bai family, and for the sake of the first prince, he will definitely not choose to be patient...... If His Majesty is unwilling to take the initiative to revisit the old case even if he gets rid of the eldest grandson's family, then with his temperament, he will definitely speak, and this is what worries me! I'm not saying that this is wrong, it's just that it will inevitably make my father unhappy, I'm not greedy for the position of the crown prince, I'm just worried about his safety! ”

Jiang Xiaoyu knew that Princess Jingyun's worries were not unreasonable, but this matter was contrary to what she wanted in her heart, and she didn't know what to say, so she had to pat her on the shoulder.

This reversal is a matter for the future, and now I hope they can be safe!
