I don't know if it's because of the loss of several relatives in a row, the queen mother treats these juniors very kindly, and even Jiang Xiaoyu looks a little kinder.

The fifth prince and Zhao Quan were held in the arms of the queen mother because they were the youngest, Zhao Yang'er leaned on her side, looking at the youngest grandchildren, the queen mother loved her very much, and there was a faint sadness in her eyes, but I was afraid that I would not see them getting married and having children.

Mo said that these little ones, that is, the second prince and the prince, have been married for a long time, and they have never let her hold her great-grandson, so that she is a little more dissatisfied with these two granddaughters-in-law.

By now, the Queen Mother has faintly felt that her life is about to come to an end, so she is not willing to do anything that makes her sons and grandchildren unhappy, and the prince is unwilling to take a concubine, so forget it, I just hope that this Jiang Xiaoyu can accept her heart and live with Ling'er in peace. The so-called seven-year itch, no matter how beautiful this woman is, she has been watching it for a long time, and she is no different from an ordinary person.

And then there is the matter of the second child, since His Majesty now has the heart to make him the prince, it is very necessary to add an heir, although Jingyun is his concubine, but after all, she is a native of Chen Guo, and this Miss Bai family, from a famous family, is well-read, if he can give birth to the eldest son, the matter of the next prince will be decided......

The Queen Mother squinted her eyes and planned, feeling that she was thinking farther, but she had high hopes for Bai Sifei, and she looked at her with a little more expectation, called her to ask questions, and rewarded her with a lot of things.

"Look at the appearance of the emperor's grandmother, she seems to like this Miss Bai very much!" Jiang Xiaoyu said lightly.

"Sister Bai is the mother of the imperial ancestor who married the second prince!" Princess Jingyun said with a slight smile, "And she is the granddaughter of Prime Minister Bai, Prime Minister Bai is full of peach and plums all over the world, and it is normal for the Queen Mother to like her, no matter what, although I am now the princess of Da Zhou, I am also the princess of Chen Guo, I am afraid that I may not be able to completely rest assured!" ”

"Anyone can see that there is only one second prince in your heart now!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "But you don't have to think too much, now everything is faintly determined, as long as nothing changes, nothing can change, besides, the second prince is not a person without conscience, how you treat him, he has a sense of proportion!" ”

"I naturally trust the character of the Xianggong, so even if the Queen Mother points to the marriage, I have no objections, I know that this matter is helpful to the Xianggong, besides, I don't believe it, the Xianggong will not fail me!" Princess Jingyun said, "I have Xianggong in my heart, so as long as Sister Bai treats Xianggong sincerely, I will also treat her sincerely!" ”

She paused and said, "Xiaoyu, in fact, I envy you very much, I don't have the courage of you!" ”

"The so-called seeking benevolence and benevolence, to a certain extent, I also call it selfishness, you are the fulfillment!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled faintly.

The two were silent for a moment, and Princess Jingyun asked again, "Why haven't you seen Lord Qiwen?" ”

"She estimated that she would meet the eldest grandson Chi here, so she said that she couldn't come sick!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "Actually, it's good that she is quiet, although the original incident, although it has never been spread, there are still more rumors, although she is strong, she is a girl in the end, how can she be able to resist the gossip?" But the rumors will always disappear with time, and after her child is born, I believe she will be stronger and will survive! ”

Princess Jingyun raised her eyes and glanced at Zixin, who handed tea to the Queen Mother, and frowned slightly and said: "She is still waiting by the Queen Mother's side, I don't know if she is dead to the prince, and I don't know if the imperial grandmother will be kind again that day and get married!" ”

"It doesn't matter!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled disdainfully, "What can you do if you don't give up, it's just a humiliation!" ”

At this time, outside the Fengqi Palace, Zhao Qian stopped Zhao Ling, his face was slightly gloomy, and he said: "I've been busy lately, I met you today, I have something I want to ask you, let's take a step to talk." ”

The two looked for a quiet place, and Zhao Qian frowned and said, "What's the matter with your younger brother?" I read his relationship with you, I have given him a lot of concessions, but also gave him a lot of benefits, but also helped him open up business routes, but now he is biting me behind my back, robbing my customers, disrupting my market with low prices, and restraining me everywhere. ”

"I'm sorry!" Zhao Ling sighed and said, "It's me who underestimated him too much!" ”

After a pause, Zhao Ling continued: "In the south, he did not leak, I didn't find anything suspicious, in fact, he has long been His Majesty's person!" ”

"Your Majesty's people?" Zhao Qian was slightly puzzled, "Even though he is His Majesty's person, why do you want to fix me?" ”

"Don't you understand? Because we wear a pair of pants with our dick! Because your business is so big, so big that he feels like he's in control! Zhao Ling sneered and said, "Your Majesty has done things carefully, step by step, as early as when Zhao Qu returned to Beijing, he had already made preparations to weaken your influence in the business world!" ”

"I have today, but I have it all bit by bit, and I don't have the heart to rebel, why should he be so defensive against me?" Zhao Qian also had an uncontrollable sneer on his face, "Thinking of how much Taishan we are, we are so hungry that we have to kill the enemy with our chests and backs, protect him, and protect the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Zhou, in the end, we have long fallen into his calculations, so what is our loyalty!" ”

"Say less!" Zhao Ling said, "Zhao Qu has His Majesty as a backer behind him, and the treasury as a backer, you can't fight hard, avoid its edge, throw out all the hot parts, and protect yourself!" ”

"I know!" Zhao Qian said with a cold face, "I am a businessman, naturally I know how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, I will find a way to preserve my strength, I have worked hard for so many years, it is impossible to really be taken by His Majesty all at once!" ”

"But I still don't understand!" Zhao Qian scratched his head, "What's wrong with us wearing a pair of pants with the second child?" He is so guarded against us, isn't he going to give the crown prince to the second child? What exactly does he want to do? He has already died two sons, doesn't he want the second child anymore? ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Ling scolded, "Your Majesty's mind is unpredictable, and the second child also has an uncertain future, at this time, we need to be even more cautious, not to make any mistakes, and cause trouble to the second child!" ”

He showed a trace of apology on his face, lowered his eyes and said: "In the end, I still bothered you, if it wasn't for the Bai family's affairs, I'm afraid Your Majesty wouldn't be suspicious of you!" ”

"Don't talk about this, you just said, we wear a pair of pants, since we are brothers, don't mention each other, not to mention that it's all our own choice!" Zhao Qian's eyes showed a touch of coldness, "Zhao Qu, that little cub, thinks that with His Majesty as a backer, he doesn't take me seriously, right?" I've got to teach you how to be a good person! ”

After the two finished talking, they walked in the direction of Fengxi Palace, and happened to meet the second prince on the way.

"What happened? Why are you here now? Zhao Ling asked.

"I received a report from the Privy Council on the way, there is something abnormal in the Qimu grassland, and it needs to be dealt with, so I discussed it with them!" Zhao Yan said.

"Is it serious?" Zhao Qian asked.

"It's a trivial matter, but with the current decree of my father, it should still be based on peace talks!" Zhao Yan said, "Don't talk about this, let's go in first, don't tell the imperial grandmother to wait in a hurry!" ”

When the three of them arrived at Fengxi Palace, after greeting the Queen Mother, it was just in time for the banquet, and the Queen Mother smiled and asked the three of them to enter the banquet first.

Jiang Xiaoyu asked in a low voice, "Why did you delay for so long?" ”

"First go and say hello to Your Majesty, I met King Jin on the way, talked to him for a while, and delayed for a while!" Zhao Ling smiled slightly, "What, you only missed me for a while?" ”

"Don't be poor!" Jiang Xiaoyu pinched Zhao Ling's waist.

The delicate dishes were slowly served, and Zi Xin commanded the palace people on the side, accidentally glanced at Zhao Ling, and quickly looked away.

"Recently, the Queen Mother has a bad appetite, His Majesty specially selected a few chefs with the best cooking skills from Jiangnan to enter the palace, looking at the quality of the dishes today, it is very delicious, but there is also a mouthful!" Jiang Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"You haven't eaten much these days, but if it suits your appetite today, you can eat more!" Zhao Ling smiled and said softly, "If you eat too much, my heart will be more comfortable!" ”

While talking, he personally sandwiched a few things for Jiang Xiaoyu that she liked to eat most on weekdays.

The last hot soup came up, the palace man with the hot soup half-squatted down, and the other palace man took the hot soup from the tray in her hand, and then she held the soup bowl but did not put it on the table, but splashed it towards Jiang Xiaoyu's body!

Zhao Ling quickly threw Jiang Xiaoyu to the ground, protected her in front of her, and threw out most of the soup with a flick of his long sleeves, but still a lot of it fell on the skin of the two of them!

This scene caught everyone by surprise, the hot soup spilled out, the people around screamed and dispersed, and the scene suddenly became a mess.

Zhao Ling didn't have time to care if Jiang Xiaoyu was burned, he knew that this palace person must have a hand left, so he hurriedly got up and wanted to capture it! However, at this time, another palace man threw away the tray in his hand, holding a handful of white powder in his hand, and sprinkled it directly towards Zhao Ling.

This * dispersed very quickly, although Zhao Ling hurriedly retreated, but his eyes still fell a lot, and he couldn't open them hotly, at this time, the palace man had an extra dagger in his hand, and stabbed him in the chest!
