After Mrs. Xue was seriously injured by someone suspected of being sent by the Xiao family and had to withdraw from the officialdom, the Xue family did not have the slightest good impression of the Xiao family and the three princes who had a close relationship with the Xiao family. How could they have agreed to belong to the enemy like this?

There was no attack from the Xiao family, they were still under the protection of the imperial master, and they were dreaming of being a wealthy family and a powerful person!

Even if the suspected instigator was the Xiao family, not the three princes, they didn't think that the three princes would be able to get rid of it. At the beginning, the people of their family exposed the truth about Xiao Lin and the third prince's private relationship, and of course it was not only the Xiao family that was offended.

However, the fourth girl Xue used a strange logic to persuade them: the matter has come to this, no matter how much the Xue family hates the three princes, it cannot change that the crown prince is already sunset, and it is impossible to be the backing of the Xue family anymore, and the Xue family needs to find another way. Then what could be more worthy of their refuge than the three princes who have the hope of ascending to the throne after the crown prince? If the third prince becomes the new prince in the future, or even the new emperor, will the Xue family still have to fight against the new emperor because of their grudges? Isn't that looking for death?! Even if Old Master Xue was a victim, it was impossible for her to agree to such a thing!

These words successfully persuaded the two Xue family members, but unfortunately they were only side branches, not the biological sons of Old Lady Xue, and they didn't even have a reputation. This is useless to Miss Xue Si at all, at most, let them help run errands, and in turn ask her to pay for it! She still hopes that her uncles and brothers can participate, and at least she can use the name of Mrs. Xue's descendants to gather a group of people in the court. This can greatly improve her status in the hearts of the three princes. If she wants to become the side concubine of the third prince, she is more certain.

She has recently had a hot fight with the fiancée of the third prince, the Lan family, not only standing with the other party to denounce the shameless and matchless Miss Xiao Lin Xiao, but also taking the initiative to fund the Lan family to prepare a dowry for the Lan family. In return, the Lan family promised to let her enter the palace of the third prince and become a prestigious side concubine. The two will become allies and occupy all the favors of the three princes, so that no one can take advantage of them!

Of course, this is just an agreement between Miss Xue and the Lan family, as for what Miss Xue has plans in private, that's another matter. If she was really only satisfied with being a little side concubine, why bothered to fight her grandfather Old Master Xue's prestige and connections?

However, she was still too tender, and she could only gather two idlers from the side branch of the Xue family. None of her relatives and uncles were on her side. Except for the Xue family's room, who insisted on standing on the side of his own daughter, the crown princess, and still supported the prince's accession to the throne, everyone else listened to the instructions of Old Lady Xue on the hospital bed.

Although Mrs. Xue didn't have much affection for the third prince, she didn't believe that General Xiao Mingde would do something stupid to attack her, and felt that if Mrs. Xiao or Xiao Cong didn't make their own decisions, a third party deliberately blamed the Xiao family for something. He didn't trust his in-laws Cao family very much, but because the Xue family was already in-laws in the East Palace, he couldn't express the suspicions in his heart because the crown princess was in a difficult situation in the East Palace.

If his suspicion is true, it means that the Cao family has reached the point of unscrupulous means in order to defeat the third prince, and will not give up until the goal is achieved. The third prince and the Xiao family are not of the same heart, and their mother has lost her holy family, and her future is bleak, so she should not be the opponent of the Cao family, and she is definitely not an object worth taking refuge into.

Mrs. Xue advised her children and grandchildren that it was better to take advantage of her serious injury, close the door of the house and schedule the day, bury yourself in reading, and ignore the ups and downs outside. On the East Palace, don't pay much attention to it, it all depends on the princess's own ability. When the turmoil subsides, the emperor has set a new prince, and the situation stabilizes, the Xue family will try to take the imperial examination again. In this way, maybe the Xue family will be forgotten by the world, but the life of the family can be saved.

If the children and grandchildren of the family are really unwilling, and they don't have the confidence to take the right path of the imperial examination, and they have to seek a meritorious service, then don't fight the idea of the three princes. The three princes are hopeless, and Mrs. Xue is more optimistic about the four princes. But considering that the Xue family is the in-laws of the prince of the East Palace, if it is too obvious to take refuge in the four princes, it will be too snobbish and may attract the emperor's dislike. Therefore, he suggested that the children and grandchildren could use more subtle ways, such as making friends with Bian Juren, the future subordinate official who was quite optimistic about the four princes, and further befriending the Ning Guohou Mansion, the in-law of the Bian family, especially the Changfang. The in-laws of the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion, the Zuo family, are the emperor's henchmen, and if they get close to such a person, it is impossible to make a mistake!

And the Xue family is close to the head of the Marquis of Ningguo's mansion, and they can also take the opportunity to help them suppress the people in the second room. Cheng Wang's family in the second room is the aunt of Wang Meiru in the East Palace. The Xue family, as the one who helped Wang Meiru enter the East Palace, knew more about the situation of her relatives than outsiders, and knew that her mother had died, but she had a younger sister who let her aunt Cheng Wang hide. If the Xue family can grasp the whereabouts of Wang Meiru's sister, they can also threaten Wang Meiru and tell her to stop framing the crown princess. In the future, if the prince really does something bad, the Xue family will report Wang Meiru's sister, and they can also show their loyalty to the emperor, proving that they and the prince are not all the way.

In Mrs. Xue's heart, she still cherishes her eldest granddaughter very much.

Soon after, the third master of the Xue family met Bian Juren "by chance", and soon became acquainted. The wife of another concubine, Xue Si, also went to Cheng'en Temple to offer incense and pray for her father-in-law, "coincidentally" met the Bian family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the two sides talked very happily. As for whether the two of them will really get involved in this relationship, and how the four princes will react after hearing the news, it will be known later.

The Xue family deliberately avoided the fourth girl Xue in their actions, so the latter did not know that his optimistic future ally had already started the idea of the fourth prince. Seeing that the people in the family had not responded to her persuasion for a long time, she had to continue to communicate with the Lan family and try to maintain close contact with the Lan family. It is said that she has received a promise from Mrs. Lan that after the marriage between the Lan family and the third prince, she will be introduced into the palace by Mrs. Lan to meet the Queen Mother. As long as she can please the Queen Mother, it will be easier to become the side concubine of the third prince in the future.

The three princes have not yet been awarded the title of prince, so according to the rules, only one concubine and one side concubine are equipped with wives and concubines. If the Queen Mother was disgusted with Xiao Lin's disobedience to her training, and liked Miss Xue Si, and decided the latter's position as a side concubine first, then Xiao Lin could only marry into the Three Princes' Mansion as a concubine! Whether it is the Lan family or Miss Xue Si, they are very much looking forward to seeing this scene!

On the Xiao family's side, Xiao Mingde still opposes the three princes competing for the crown, but he no longer opposes his daughter marrying the third prince - the matter has come to this, if the daughter does not marry the third prince, she can only become a nun, and he can count this account!

Mrs. Xiao got his permission and finally had the confidence to urge the three princes to ask for marriage, but the three princes ...... He is still seeking the emperor's trust to prove Xiao Guifei's innocence!
