Princess Cai did not have this consciousness, the Cai family invested a lot in building the palace for Emperor Jinghong, and the emperor was the only favor of Concubine Shu, even at today's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, he did not see the emperor ordering other concubines to participate, let alone other princes.

In the past, although Princess Cai was disappointed that the family was partial to Concubine Shu and gave up on her, but now she also wants to open it. Even if the family doesn't value it, she is still the daughter of the Cai family, and the scenery of the Cai family is her scenery.

Thinking about it like this, Princess Cai thought about it again, smiled contemptuously at Chu Junlan, and said in a low voice: "It's been a long time since I've seen someone as daring to be so pampered and arrogant as you." ”

Chu Junlan lowered his long eyelashes, unwilling to pay attention to Princess Cai.

Xiao Xu picked up Chu Junlan's wine cup, raised his head and drank it all, turned the wine cup upside down in front of Princess Cai, and didn't see a drop of wine spilled out: "Princess Cai reminds that it is not good to brush off the emperor's uncle's good intentions, and Junlan's wine will be drunk by me." ”

Princess Cai's gaze fell on Xiao Xu's thin lips that were soaked in wine, and she bit her lower lip lightly, and the anger in her eyes was almost uncontrollable.

The sixth prince also came to the front at this time, smiling and pouring wine for Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu hurriedly got up and thanked: "Thank you, Your Highness Six." ”

The sixth prince said gracefully: "They are all their own relatives, and the prince does not have to be polite." ”

Concubine Shu also smiled and beckoned to Chu Junlan at this time: "Chu family, I haven't seen you for many days, I heard that I won the traitor that day thanks to you, come, come to the palace." ”

Chu Jun sighed in his heart, got up with a smile on his face, and walked quickly to Concubine Shu and saluted: "I've seen Concubine Shu." ”

Concubine Shu smiled and looked her up and down, "Why don't you look very good?" I heard that you are pregnant, so you should pay more attention to your daily diet. ”

"Yes, thank you for your concern." Chu Junlan saluted obediently.

Concubine Shu Guifei instructed Princess Cai again: "My sister should also take care of the Chu family more on weekdays." ”

Princess Cai's smile froze on her face, although what she said to Chu Junlan just now, although not everyone heard it, but many people knew it, but Concubine Shu said this, isn't this helping Chu Junlan to give her no face?

Princess Cai even wanted to pretend not to hear it, and ignore Concubine Shugui.

But when she rolled her eyes, she saw that the elders of the Cai family were looking at her, and she didn't have the courage to go against Concubine Shu in front of her clansmen, and she was afraid that she would have a hard time in the future, so she had to get up and salute obediently: "Yes, thank you for your teachings." ”

Concubine Shu nodded, took Chu Junlan's hand and patted it comfortably, and said gently: "Don't be afraid, with this palace here, you just have to take care of your body with peace of mind, and if you lack anything in the future, just tell this palace." ”

The gentle tone is even more loving than Chu Junlan's mother-in-law.

Concubine Shu's carved lotus gold armor fell on her hand without any temperature, and even made Chu Junlan want to shake off her hand. But since Concubine Shu wants to act, she is also happy to accompany her to act.

"Thank you, Lady Gui." Chu Junlan's moved eyes were shining, and tears were in her eyelashes, "Niangniang cares about and sympathizes with the courtiers, which really makes the courtiers grateful." ”

"This is what this palace should do." Concubine Shu was very satisfied with Chu Junlan's reaction, and smiled and patted her hand again.

Now that the back position in the palace is vacant, Concubine Shu is the one who is the most promising to take over the phoenix seal, she naturally wants to show her best side, and take advantage of the momentum that the emperor is now reusing the Cai family to go up.

Chu Junlan and Concubine Shu talked for a while, and then they were put back in their seats.

The six princes had been talking to Xiao Xu in a low voice for a while at this time, the six princes stood with their hands in their hands, their conversation was elegant and friendly, and their demeanor was biased, Emperor Jinghong was present, he restrained all the sharpness and arrogance, and became approachable.

Xiao Xu has always been aware of current affairs and maintained the image of a humble and respectful courtier.

The six princes looked at Xiao Xu's eyes with an unconcealable pride, even if Xiao Xu was rumored to be the son of Emperor Jinghong, what if he was favored by Emperor Jinghong? In front of him, isn't it to grovel?

At today's dinner, my father only allowed his only prince to come to the banquet, and everyone can understand what it means even if they don't go into details. After today, I believe that everyone in Su will understand who is the most important prince in the eyes of his father.

As expected, the Six Princes had predicted, and while the dinner was still going on, news had already been received everywhere.

The second prince's mansion was also celebrating Chinese New Year's Eve, but when he heard that his subordinates had returned, the second prince had not returned to his senses for a long time. Since the last time Emperor Jinghong woke up from a serious illness, he has never been reused, and he has tried his best to keep a low profile, not wanting to anger his father again, but it seems that his father's heart has deviated.

The six princes have the support of the Cai family behind him, and although he is the concubine of the first queen, he has lost the support of his mother's family, and with the powerful Cai family Zhuyu by his side, he doesn't know what else to compare with the six princes.

"Your Highness," the strategist Xiang Yu looked at the second prince worriedly, "Your Highness is feeling emotional for today's family banquet at the emperor's family?" ”

The second prince lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Does Mr. Xiang have any opinions?" ”

Without waiting for Xiang Yu to answer, the second prince said again: "Now like this, it makes me feel that it is time for me to be my prince with peace of mind, and I will only be an idle prince in the future." ”

After sighing, the second prince walked slowly in the cold and silent courtyard in a big hat, and the light of the red lantern hid his face in the shadows, which looked a little gloomy.

Xiang Yu quickly caught up with the footsteps of the second prince and said softly: "Your Highness, although your idea is good, but once the Sixth Highness ascends to the throne in the future, can he let you go and just be an idle prince with peace of mind?" ”

The second prince paused, sighed lightly and looked at Xiang Yu: "So what?" ”

"His Royal Highness is too arrogant, although in recent days the Son of Heaven seems to be biased towards the side of the six princes, but the courtiers know what to expect. Your Highness is the heir of the main palace, and that son should also be yours. ”

The second prince closed his eyes and said in a painful tone: "So what? My father didn't like me, so I didn't have to think about anything anymore. ”

"The emperor now prefers the Sixth Highness, and he may not have made use of the Cai family. What's more, the Cai family's performance is so flamboyant, it may not be a good thing for you, if you want to compete with the Cai family and the Sixth Highness, you just need to find a reliable alliance. ”

The second prince looked at Xiang Yu expectantly: "What do you mean......"

"Listen to me." Xiang Yu leaned into the second prince's ear and whispered in a low voice, and the second prince's eyes became brighter and brighter.

When Chu Junlan and Xiao Xu returned to the palace with Prince Gong and his entourage, it was already past the time of the child, and the family was originally going to keep a New Year's eve in the front hall, but when they saw this time, Prince Gong said a word, and everyone dispersed.

Chu Junlan had a good night's sleep, and as soon as he got up the next morning, Zi Yan outside the tent asked with a smile: "Is the princess awake?" ”

"Well," seeing that Xiao Xu was not there beside him, Chu Junlan asked, "What about your prince?" ”

Zi Yuan smiled and lifted the tent: "Before dawn, there was news in the palace, saying that the emperor was going to have breakfast with the prince, and the prince went to the palace early." Command the slaves and maidservants to serve you with food. ”
