"Not necessarily. Last time, my father asked the prince to choose one between you and the seventh to lead the troops to fight, but the prince didn't choose anyone, but recommended the most useless fifth. The fourth princess comforted.

The fourth prince thought about it and felt that what the fourth princess said was right, and he also said approvingly:

"That's right, this thankless job of leading soldiers to fight a war instead chose the fifth child. The fifth child also went to visit the prince afterwards, maybe the fifth thought that the prince was going to stand on his side! The fifth child is really ignorant and makes people laugh, who doesn't know that this is thankless to lead the soldiers to fight, and if he wins, he may lose his life, and if he loses, it will be even worse, this guy is still rushing to go, and he thinks that the son of the world is for his good, what a stupid child! ”

As he spoke, the four princes and the four princesses also laughed together.

In their eyes, anyone who can win the throne will never be able to take it, if he wants to, he can't grab it, besides, the fifth has always been indifferent to fame and fortune in officialdom, the fifth child has lost his mother since he was a child, without the protection of his mother, and he is just a loose official with no real power in the court, no matter how you look at it, he can't take his turn.

The fifth child is also not good at braining, and he actually came to visit the prince who pushed him into the fire pit in person, and he really had to help him count the money after being sold. With the touching IQ of the fifth child, the four princes didn't want to waste their brainpower to rectify him.

"Since no one in the world is standing in line, why does Sheng Zi'an still send such a valuable gift to the Seventh Princess?" After thinking about it carefully, the four princes were still a little worried, the fame of the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains was indeed too great, and people couldn't help but pay attention to it and be attracted.

"The husband doesn't know, according to what the concubine has seen, I think the reason why Sheng Zi'an gave such an expensive gift is just to suppress Sheng Qing'an's anger." The fourth princess said confidently.

What do you mean by that? If you know something, say it quickly, don't sell it! "The fourth prince is also interested, he is an anxious son. I hate others the most, and I only say half of what I say.

"Doesn't Your Highness know? At this banquet, Sheng Qing'an made a bloody sacrifice of the South China Sea Night Pearl, you don't know how precious the night pearl is, even in the daytime, the light emitted by the night pearl is not inferior to the brightest light emitted by the ordinary night pearl at night, but it is beautiful and magical! ”

The four princesses said with their eyebrows fluttering, boasting as if the pearl of the night was their own private property.

"You mean the Pearl of the Night in the South China Sea?" Hearing this name, the fourth prince sounded familiar, and after thinking about it, he seemed to have seen this night pearl in his impression, which was indeed extraordinary and very bright.

"As far as I know, this South China Sea Night Pearl is a specialty of Dongyi Kingdom, and he can't meet one in a hundred years, so he is willing to give such a precious gift? Besides, she is the young lady of the Hou Mansion, how can she have such a thing? The fourth prince was a little puzzled.

"Your Highness doesn't know, didn't this Qi family just be awarded the title of Marquis of Zhongyong not long ago? The emperor rewarded the loyal and brave marquis for his meritorious service in protecting the country, and among the rewards sent was this pearl of the night of the South China Sea. And Sheng Qingan has been currying favor with the Seventh Princess, and this time he gave such a precious gift, doesn't it show that the Qi family is already doing things for the Seventh Emperor? "The four princesses analyzed it well.

"Then we have to speed up the process of wooing Xiao Jue, now the Qi family is already attached to Lao Qi, if Xiao Jue is also robbed by Lao Qi, our chances of winning will be getting smaller and smaller."

The fourth prince felt that the situation was a little urgent, but this Xiao Jue didn't eat it, he didn't know where to start at all, and he couldn't think of a way in his mind for a while, so he remembered to frown.

"Concubine Ai, is there any way to make that Xiao Jue attached to His Highness?" The fourth prince asked.

"Isn't it my father's birthday banquet in a few days......

The Seven Princes' Mansion.

"I heard that Sheng Zi'an gave his wife a picture of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains today?" As soon as the Seven Princes entered the court, they couldn't wait to see this legendary map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains with their own eyes.

"Well, it's in the storeroom. It's spectacular, it's huge. The Seventh Princess couldn't help but be happy in her heart, she hadn't received such a long-faced birthday gift for a long time, Sheng Zi'an let herself have a good look today.

"Sheng Zi'an, what do you mean? What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of their Shizifu?" The Seventh Prince was not as happy as he imagined, but seemed worried.

The Seventh Prince's Concubine felt puzzled when she saw her husband's sullen look, I don't know what the Seven Princes are worried about when they meet this great good thing, now the Qi Mansion has already indicated that they are going to do things for their own family, and now Sheng Zi'an has sent such a valuable gift, it is obvious that he wants to attach himself to our Seven Princes, and he doesn't know what else he has to be unhappy about.

"What else can this sell? Isn't this obvious that you want to choose our Seven Princes? The Seven Princesses were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, and the whole person was so happy that they were about to float to the sky.

"Long hair and short vision. With Xiao Jue's personality, do you think he will make such a big fanfare? "The Seventh Prince only felt that his wife was stupid, and he was simply carried away by the material.

"What do you mean by that?" The Seven Princes and Princesses were a little misty and didn't understand what the Seven Princes meant.

"Do you remember that day when Xiao Jue recommended the fifth child to lead the troops to fight in front of his father?" The Seventh Prince asked.

"Remember, what's wrong? Didn't his father let him choose between His Royal Highness and the Four Princes at that time? A discerning person knows at a glance that this is a thankless errand, although he didn't choose the fourth but he didn't choose the fourth either, and it's normal to take the fifth hitch to block the knife. The Seventh Princess still felt that the Seventh Prince was a little worried.

"Don't you see that Xiao Jue has been stating his neutrality? He clearly said that he was making a choice in front of his father that day, or did he want to show loyalty in front of his father? He has made it clear that he is only loyal to his father, and it is unlikely that he will win him over, so he can only maneuver first, and after he borrows his hand to kill the fourth child first, then he will not be able to support His Royal Highness at that time. ”

The Seventh Prince said as he turned the wrench on his right thumb twice, and he habitually turned his wrench every time he thought.

"Then what does the thousand-mile map sent by Sheng Zi'an mean today?"

The Seventh Imperial Concubine is now even more confused, is this Xiao Jue going to remain neutral or is it going to take refuge in the Seventh Prince? But the possibility of the latter is not very big after the analysis of the Seven Princes, since they want to remain neutral, then why do they blatantly give themselves such a valuable gift in public?

"In addition to Sheng Zi'an, what other special people came to today's banquet?"

"Hey, His Highness remembered when he said that the concubine said. Today, Sheng Zi'an's sister Sheng Qing'an also came to the banquet, and gave her concubine a priceless pearl of the South China Sea night. The words of the Seventh Prince reminded her, and she hurriedly remembered that there was still Sheng Qingan.

"That way things make sense. Sheng Zi'an is likely to have a personal vendetta with Sheng Qing'an, and he used your banquet to suppress Sheng Qing'an in public. The Seventh Prince suddenly realized.

"I see! But it doesn't matter, now these two valuable treasures are in our house, and it is not a loss to reap the profits of the fishermen. "The Seventh Imperial Concubine is still a little happy, after all, the two things I received today are rare treasures! It's enough to show off for a while.

"Then what is Your Highness going to do now? Since Xiao Jue can't win him over anymore, should we just give up on him? "Getting back to business, the Seventh Princess asked.

"Don't worry, this Xiao Jue is still of great use. Let's give up wooing him in private, but on the bright side, we want to woo him, deliberately look at the fourth child, the father and the emperor are the most unsightly in the struggle between the henchmen above the court, let's rob Xiao with the fourth child on the surface, stimulate the fourth child to rob Xiao Jue himself, it is best to let the father find out that the fourth child is trying to usurp the throne in courtiers, and then the father will no longer trust the fourth child, and the throne will not fall into the hands of this prince steadily? The more the Seven Princes spoke, the more proud they became, as if they had seen the grand scene of their dragon robes, and they couldn't help but smile proudly.

"Your Highness is wise!" The Seventh Princesses echoed.

"Your Highness, in a few days it will be my father's birthday, and all nations will come to congratulate him, and the scene will be grand. What kind of congratulatory gifts are we going to prepare this year? Do you need a concubine to prepare some rare treasures? The Seventh Imperial Concubine thought that it would be Halloween in a few days and reminded.

"This year...... What rare treasures have my father not seen? His Royal Highness had heard an interesting story about his father, saying that he liked a woman when his father was in Weifu's private visit, but it was a pity that the woman died early before her father approached the palace. So after so many years, she has become the existence of her father's unforgettable, this person is easy to miss the old as long as he is old, this time His Royal Highness went out to do things, do you say it is a coincidence? I just happened to meet a person who looked very similar to the folk woman, and the person had already settled in the guest room. ”

"Your Highness means to give that woman as a gift to your father?" The Seventh Princess asked.

"That's right. This gift is so much better than those rare treasures that are not new! When the father and emperor look at the old man, the dragon heart is happy, and the throne will be one step closer to the crown prince. The more the Seven Princes spoke, the smile on their faces became more and more obvious, and they couldn't wait for the Birthday Festival to come soon.

Qi Mansion, ancestral hall.

Sheng Qing'an trembled in pain, and she didn't know what kind of means those masked men used, it had been a whole day, and the pain in her body had not eased but intensified, and she could only moan in pain.

She had been punished to kneel in front of the wall in the ancestral hall and think about it all day, without a drop of water, not a grain of rice, let alone someone coming to visit.

Sheng Qingan understands that if she continues like this, she will die sooner or later, but now she is locked up here, but there is no other way to escape, and no one will come to save her, time passes minute by minute, every second is torment for her, and she can't describe her pain and hardship at this time, she even wants to close her eyes and sleep to death, but her body is too painful to sleep at all, what should she do now?
