"There is no way to stop the gossip in the harem, the more afraid you are of the rumors, the more the rumors will become."

Yun Qingyan looked at Yun Ze, with a smile and care in his eyes.

"Instead of running away, it's better to face those rumors, and when the people who are talking about them find that they can't hurt you, they will naturally disperse."

Yun Ze looked at Yun Qingyan quietly, "Sister Huang, have you ever thought that those rumors might be true. I am working so hard to help my father deal with government affairs, in fact, I want to fight for power and profit, so that I can stand out in front of my father, so as to compete with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

He suddenly wanted to know, if Yun Qingyan knew the truth now, what would his attitude be towards him? Will it still be as friendly and easy-going as it is now?

Yun Qingyan was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't thought that Yun Ze would say these words.

After being silent for a while, he thought about it and said, "If this is really the case, then it is human nature. Judging from the current situation of helping your father deal with government affairs, you do have the talent to handle court affairs, even if you want to compete for the crown prince, it is not a big deal. ”

"But I'm not a concubine after all, my name is not right, and the identity of a concubine is to compete with His Royal Highness the Prince, doesn't the imperial sister think I'm ridiculous?"

"No, in fact, the throne should not have any concubines, in the final analysis, it should be lived by capable people. If you are a concubine, but you have no talent and no virtue, then you are absurd and unreasonable, and such a person naturally cannot become a prince. Similarly, even if he is a concubine, he can have both talents and care about the world, so why can't he be the prince. ”

Yun Ze looked at Yun Qingyan a little stunned, he wanted to tell himself in his heart that what Yun Qingyan said was just some scenes, but he had no way to ignore the other party's eyes, a pair of autumn eyes were clear and bright, full of sincerity, and there was no trace of lies and deception, which made people have to believe that these words were the truest thoughts from the bottom of her heart.

After a long while, Yun Ze slowly came back to his senses, retracted his gaze and did not look at Yun Qingyan again.

"However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has both ability and political integrity, and he has always been concerned about the government, and he will definitely be a diligent and good emperor in the future. Therefore, the imperial sister can rest assured, if I can continue to help my father deal with the affairs of the court, I must only assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince well, and there will definitely be no arrogance. ”

"Heh, why do you look so serious." Yun Qingyan reached out and patted Yun Ze's shoulder gently, "After all, you are brothers, you don't need to be so serious." ”

Yun Ze smiled, didn't speak again, and after a while, he left and went to Yun Yao's palace.

After coming out of Yun Yao's palace, Yun Ze walked unhurriedly into his air, but he didn't expect to meet Concubine Shu again on the way.

Or should it be said that Concubine Shu deliberately waited for him on this road.

"I've seen the lady lady." Yun Ze saluted to Concubine Shu.

"The Seven Princes are really busy during this time, if it weren't for the fact that the palace let people guard the imperial study and the palace of His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid that I won't be able to see the Seven Princes at all." Concubine Shu looked Yun Ze up and down, her eyes were lukewarm, and she was obviously a little dissatisfied because of Yun Ze's rejection of her before.

Yun Ze didn't speak, but slowly straightened up.

"Dare to ask Concubine Shuniang, is there anything wrong?"

"Why do the Seven Princes ask knowingly." Concubine Shu paused, stepped forward and took a few steps closer to Yun Ze, "Although the Seventh Prince has behaved well in front of the emperor recently, but now His Royal Highness the Prince's body is about to recover, it stands to reason that the Seventh Prince may not be able to help the emperor deal with government affairs in the future, are you really willing in your heart?" ”

Yun Ze took a step back, "Concubine Shuniang said cautiously, I am now helping my father to deal with government affairs, just because of my father's will." If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recovers later, these things will naturally be returned to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now, and there is no willingness or unwillingness. ”

"In front of this palace, there is no need for the Seventh Prince to behave like this, this palace doesn't believe that you really don't have the slightest idea in your heart." Concubine Shu hooked the corners of her mouth, "You know, that is the supreme position, from ancient times to the present, there is no prince who does not want to ascend to that position." ”

"The more the lady lady talks, the more outrageous it becomes, if there is nothing to do, I will retire first."

After doing that, Yun Ze was about to leave, but Concubine Shu motioned for Tao Hong to stop him.

"Anyway, this palace can be regarded as your elder, and now that the words are not finished, the seventh prince wants to leave in such a hurry, is it a little too disrespectful to the elders."

Yun Ze took a slight breath and turned his head to look at Concubine Shu, "Then dare to ask Concubine Shu, what else do you want to say?" ”

Concubine Shu looked around and made sure that there was no one before she continued to speak: "This palace doesn't want to beat around the bush with you, if you really want to become the crown prince, the best way is to choose to cooperate with this palace." You must know that you are now helpless in this harem, even if you have the ability to help the emperor deal with government affairs, it is not just because you alone want to ascend to the position of the prince, it is simply wishful thinking, the best thing is to get a help, and this palace is your best choice now. ”

She had already made a cooperation proposal to Yun Ze before, but she didn't expect the other party to refuse completely, at that time, she was really angry in her heart, and even provoked in front of Yun Qingyan.

But now it seems that Yun Ze is indeed a good partner to work with, not to mention anything else, at least recently, she has heard the emperor praise Yun Ze. That's why she didn't look into the past and wanted to win over Yun Ze again.

Yun Ze looked at Concubine Shu in silence, and only laughed after a moment.

"The Seventh Prince, this is what you have figured out?" There was a bit of joy in Concubine Shu's tone.

"Concubine Lady is really calculating, if I should do it today, I'm afraid that Concubine Lady will use this matter to blackmail me, if there is something dissatisfied in the future, you can publicize this matter at any time. Of course, at that time, it may change its rhetoric and become my deliberate attempt to win over the lady. ”

Although Concubine Shu is still favored in front of Emperor Yun, she is not such a scheming person at all, and Yun Ze can naturally see her thoughts clearly.

The look on Concubine Shu's face froze, she really didn't have such a thought. Of course, she'd done that before.

"Seventh Prince, this palace now sincerely wants to cooperate with you, why do you want to refuse people thousands of miles away?"

"If Concubine Shu really wants to cooperate, then you might as well show your sincerity." Yun Ze hooked the corners of his mouth, "At least let me see what Concubine Niangniang can do for me and give me some benefits, otherwise why should I trust Niangniang and cooperate with you." ”

After speaking, Yun Ze did not take care of Concubine Shu, but bypassed Taohong and left directly.
