Chapter 165: Finding Emperor Zhou's True Intentions

"The eldest lady is finally back!" The third aunt and the sixth aunt are both smart people, you can guess Jiang Xiaoyu's thoughts, she is not a flamboyant person, naturally she still hopes to be the same as before, the two of them look as intimate as before, and it seems that there are not many changes for her today's marquis, "We are looking forward to seeing Miss come back safely as soon as possible!" These days, the eldest lady is not at home, and she always feels empty in her heart! ”

"The third aunt is laughing again, now you are the master mother of this Jiang Mansion, I am always a junior, and you are still needed to deal with the top and bottom of this mansion!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, "Sit down, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's okay to talk!" ”

"Big sister!" Jiang Youran came to Jiang Xiaoyu's front and lowered his eyes, and handed her a bottle of ointment, "I heard that the eldest sister is injured, and I don't know if the eldest sister is seriously injured, this is the ointment I use on weekdays, I hope it can help the eldest sister!" ”

"Thank you, you have a heart!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, and Yan Yan stepped forward to take the ointment.

"The second sister went to Guanyunguan, and the third sister wanted to come very lonely, if there is nothing to do, come to me and sit more!" Jiang Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "It's all a family, no matter what happens, everyone will discuss it together, don't be alone in your heart, there should always be someone to discuss!" ”

Jiang Youran was very worried in her heart, she already had a deep grudge with Jiang Xiaoyu, and now she was inexplicably sealed again, and her status was above herself, and she had no mother's protection in the Jiang family, and her grandfather couldn't always take care of her situation, she was afraid that Jiang Xiaoyu would take the opportunity to retaliate, so she hurriedly followed the third aunt and the sixth aunt to show favor to Jiang Xiaoyu, hoping that she would not pay attention to herself, let herself pass the past three years peacefully, and then get married, it is best not to get along with each other in the future!

"Yes, eldest sister, I will often come to disturb you in the future, don't dislike me!" Jiang Youran said with a smile.

At this time, Jiang Haoran ran to Jiang Xiaoyu's side and said proudly: "Eldest sister, in the past few months of your absence, my studies have made great progress, and my husband has praised me for doing a good job in learning!" As he spoke, there was something special in his eyes, and some anticipation.

Jiang Xiaoyu praised him twice, and then remembered that he had promised him to become the companion of the third prince before, but she had forgotten about it these days, she smiled slightly, and said: "Don't worry, I won't forget what I promised you, I will find a way!" ”

"Thank you, big sister!"

The group talked for a while, and Jiang Xiaoyu briefly told them what they had seen and heard in the northwest, and they dispersed until late at night.

Mama Qian told Jiang Xiaoyu about what happened in Jiangfu these days, especially after saying that Jiangyuan heard the news that Jiang Xiaoyu went to the northwest after the Mid-Autumn Festival, she was in a hurry, and scolded her in the house for a night, and scolded the third aunt and the sixth aunt who had a good relationship with her, and then began to find a relationship in Beijing, trying to remove the relationship between Jiangfu and Jiang Xiaoyu, of course, some words were secretly told by the third aunt to Mama Qian, she is responsible for all the expenses in the family, I still know a thing or two about the situation in Gangwon.

"People's hearts are cold!" Mama Qian sighed.

"I'm not qualified to care about them!" Jiang Xiaoyu said lightly, "From my point of view, I really don't have much affection for them, although it is flesh and blood affection from the beginning, but what connects us is the relationship of interests, we need to use me to get in touch with the Chu Palace, I need the identity of Miss Jiang, since it is a use relationship, if you find that the other party has no use value, and may even bring danger to yourself, it is the wisest way to kick it away!" ”

Mama Qian sighed.

"Now my relationship with my father and grandmother has been clarified!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "That's fine, you don't have to behave with each other in the future!" ”

Chu Wangfu, after Zhao Ling went back, he dealt with a wave of people who came to visit, and appeased a pair of younger siblings, so that he had the ability to talk to his father.

"It's worried about my father, it's my son who is unfilial!" Zhao Ling sighed, "My son came back this time to see that there was a lot more white hair on his father's head, I think my father didn't worry about his son and Xiaoyu's affairs, my father didn't care about political affairs, but now he wants to walk around in the mirror again for us, my son doesn't have a taste in his heart!" ”

"Between father and son, where did so many kind words come from!" King Chu smiled faintly, "It's good to come back safely!" Whether it's you or Xiaoyu's child, you can't say that you've done something wrong, bloody things are sometimes above reason, this is something that your kid didn't disappoint his father, and Xiaoyu didn't disappoint his father, she has the blood of the gate in her body, and she can't be an ordinary woman in peace! ”

"Although Your Majesty did not blame Xiaoyu for this trip to the Northwest, and also commended her for her merits and was named Lihou, but the son always felt that things were not so simple, and His Majesty's mind The son really couldn't guess!" Zhao Ling sighed.

"Your Majesty's mind is indeed hard to guess, every step he takes has his deep meaning, and his plan is very deep, it may take a long time to see his intentions!" King Chu smiled mockingly, "Although his city is deep, it is not without shortcomings, and his shortcomings lie in paying too much attention to fame." Take this Xiaoyu's matter as an example, if you want to cure Xiaoyu's sin, it is to punish the heart, there is no evidence that Xiaoyu has anything to do with the Cardinal Sect, he values his reputation, and he doesn't want the courtiers to guess his thoughts, so he not only does not punish Xiaoyu, but also rewards, and the strength of the reward is even more smacking, making people more and more unpredictable about his intentions, unpredictable about his views on the Bai family back then, and even more unpredictable about his views on the former prince! ”

King Chu looked at Zhao Ling's thoughtful appearance, smiled and said: "For another example, Your Majesty has always ruled the world with filial piety, and he will not be disobedient to the Queen Mother's intentions, even if he can't tolerate the eldest grandson's family's excessive interference in military politics, although the eldest grandson Hu disarmed himself a few years ago and returned to the field, the influence of the eldest grandson family will only exist because of the queen mother, and as long as Your Majesty takes care of the queen mother, he will not touch the eldest grandson family!" ”

Zhao Ling's eyes widened suddenly, and he pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty wants to make Xiaoyu his weapon and target!" ”

He was silent for a moment and said: "Ten years ago, maybe His Majesty knew it, and now he needs to use Xiaoyu to pry the status of the eldest grandson family, I thought that His Majesty kept Xiaoyu just for a so-called "Huangshi Book of Heaven", but now it seems that a so-called Book of Heaven cannot satisfy His Majesty's appetite at all, what he wants is the consolidation of his imperial power!" And the excuse of the so-called Book of Heaven is just to blind the Queen Mother's eyes, and after the Queen Mother reacts, she can't easily move the little fish! ”

"As long as you see through Your Majesty's intentions, you should know that Your Majesty will not let Xiaoyu die, and before he achieves his goal, he will not let anyone touch Xiaoyu, but don't take it lightly, Xiaoyu's protection is given by His Majesty, and His Majesty can take it back at any time, if you want to be truly safe, you still have to have some chips in your hands!" King Chu said meaningfully.

Zhao Ling bowed deeply at the King of Chu: "More guidance from my father!" ”

"You are the son of this king, and Xiaoyu is the daughter-in-law of this king, not to you, to whom is this king!" King Chu smiled, but the smile on his face did not last long, "No matter how you turn the sky, it will not pose a threat to Your Majesty's imperial power, so Your Majesty is up to you, but the prince is different, the second child has really committed His Majesty's taboo this time, although he was born and died, he will not please His Majesty's heart!" ”

"Although I know this result, the second child will still have no hesitation, this is the second child's character, but there is a way to make up for it now?" Zhao Ling asked, "In the past few months, although I have killed some corrupt officials in Qiandong openly, many of them are the third child's henchmen, my methods are too strong, so that many ministers of the DPRK and China have an opinion on me, biased towards the third one's side, plus I and the second child are not in the capital in the past few months, the third child threw an olive branch to many people, even my future father-in-law is a little uncontrollable, the situation in the capital is not good, if the second child is suspicious of His Majesty again, the situation for us will be even more bad!" ”

"Panic what!" King Chu said calmly, "Some time ago, you were able to see the situation clearly, but today you are confused!" No matter how big the power of the three princes is, in the final analysis, this world is still His Majesty's world, His Majesty likes to play with the art of balance, and it may not be a good thing for the first person to break the balance. ”

He remembered something, was silent for a while, and said: "Your Majesty intends to let the second child marry Princess Chen Guo, and the second child must not disobey His Majesty's will in this matter, and besides, the concubine can see it clearly, let the second child go to greet Princess Chen Guo in person, first stay away from the capital, talk about right and wrong, treat Chen Guo to marry, marry the princess, and then find a way to resolve His Majesty's heart knot!" ”

Zhao Lingmin thought for a while and said, "It's all about now, I'll go and discuss it with the second child tomorrow!" ”

"It's not too early, let's go back and rest!" The King of Chu said softly, "Tomorrow, your naughty brother and sister will inevitably pester you all day, so that you will tell the story outside!" ”

Wanting his younger brother and younger sister, the expression on Zhao Ling's face softened, and he thought about it and said: "The imperial grandmother mentioned it once, let Quan'er enter the palace to study with the five princes, Quan'er is also older, and it is good to be with the third prince, so as not to mess around in the palace all day long, and Xiaoyu's little brother is the same age as Quan'er, let's enter the palace together and study with the five princes!" ”

"Look at this!" After all, the years are not forgiving, and the king of Chu yawned a little tiredly.

Seeing this, Zhao Ling hurriedly retreated, and at this time, the concubine of the king of Chu, Wang, entered with jam, and after saluting Zhao Ling, she waited for the king of Chu to rest.
