After Huan'er left from Jingbei Hou, he was busy passing the news to Huo Sijin truthfully. Although the purpose of Zhou's entry into the palace is unknown, Huo Sijin also guessed it. The Zhou family couldn't think of a way to get the Marquis of Jingbei, so they simply found Concubine Huo Xian.

The next day, Zhou took a carriage into the palace to meet Concubine Huo Xian, she thought that she had arranged it properly, but she didn't know that her mind had already been seen through by Huo Sijin, and even the Marquis of Jingbei was suspicious.

After entering the palace, after the Zhou family and Concubine Huo Xian met the courtesy, Concubine Huo Xian waved away all the palace people in the palace.

"If there's anything important, just say it." Concubine Huo Xian raised her hand slightly and motioned for Zhou to sit down and speak.

Concubine Huo Xian wants to be the queen mother, so she doesn't need the support of her mother's family, so since Concubine Huo Xian entered the palace, she has been very closely connected with the Jingbei Hou Mansion, and she knows everything about the people and things in the Jingbei Hou Mansion. She knew very well the weight of the Zhou family in the heart of the Marquis of Jingbei, so Concubine Huo Xian was very close to the sister-in-law of the Zhou family. Even Huo Zhirou and Chu Li's family affair was proposed by Concubine Huo Xian.

The Zhou family sent a message to say that there was something important to find her, and Concubine Huo Xian did not hesitate at the moment, and immediately did what she said.

Zhou sat down under Concubine Huo Xian, and said bluntly, "Then the concubine will not go around the bend with the mother." The concubine can tell her mother with certainty that Huo Changjin can't win over at all. ”

As soon as she heard this, Concubine Huo Xian's face suddenly turned bad.

The Zhou family couldn't care about Concubine Huo Xian's face anymore, and there was no room for things to turn around, and then continued: "It's not that the concubine body is unwilling to endure this breath, but Huo Changjin didn't plan to give it to the Jingbei Hou Mansion at all, or Niangniang, your own aunt, is nothing in his eyes. ”

"So you hurriedly came to see Hongu with a big belly, just to say this?"

Obviously, Zhou's explanation made Concubine Huo Xian very unhappy. She bit the words "with a big belly" hard, and the meaning is self-evident.

Concubine Huo Xian wanted to win over Huo Sijin, which was naturally beneficial to Chu Li's great cause, but it was not a good thing for the Zhou family. Especially Zhou's has another bad child now, if this baby gives birth to a boy as he wishes, then he will inevitably face Huo Sijin in the future. If Huo Sijin became Chu Li's person, then the Zhou family would not be able to do anything to Huo Sijin at will in the future.

Concubine Huo Xian's face was expressionless, and she said in a cold voice: "This palace originally thought that you were a person who knew the general situation, but now it seems that this palace looks down on you." ”

If you want to win over Huo Sijin, it will inevitably damage the interests of the Zhou family, but Concubine Huo Xian is not worried, because she is familiar with the woman of the Zhou family, the Zhou family can bear it, and the most important thing is that she knows how to weigh the pros and cons, and she can understand the principle of focusing on the overall situation.

In the face of Concubine Huo Xian's sneering and sneering outside of her words, Zhou Shi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he couldn't bear it. She took a deep breath, and then explained: "Niangniang knows that the concubine is a human being, and the concubine is not a short-sighted person, and the concubine understands the principle of the overall situation." ”

However, Concubine Huo Xian still had a cold face, obviously she didn't believe it. If it was in the past, she might have believed Zhou's explanation, but now it is different, Zhou is pregnant with a child in her belly, and it is normal for her to be selfish for the sake of the child in her belly.

Zhou saw Concubine Huo Xian's thoughts, she touched her belly, and continued to explain: "The concubine has only been in her belly for three months, and I don't know if she can be born smoothly, let alone whether she is a man or a woman. ”

"Even if the concubine is selfish, she should also consider Rou'er, Rou'er and His Royal Highness the Third Prince are childhood sweethearts, and the family affairs have already been decided, only if His Royal Highness is good, Rou'er will be glorious, and whether it is a concubine, or the child in the belly will also be stained."

"Niangniang, if Rou'er was really a short-sighted person, Huo Changjin would have long since ceased to exist." In front of Concubine Huo Xian, Zhou didn't have to speak in a tactful way. Zhou knew early on that Concubine Huo Xian was an ambitious woman, and to some extent, they were a type of person who was good at hiding herself, and could endure what ordinary people couldn't bear in order to climb up. Huo Changjin's existence is undoubtedly the biggest stumbling block for the Zhou family, but after so many years, what else can't be endured.

"Besides, knowing that it will displease the mother, how could the concubine do such a stupid thing." At the end, Zhou added another sentence.

It was proposed by Concubine Huo Xian to win over Huo Sijin, if she didn't do it, it would be a loss for Concubine Huo Xian's face.

"The concubine is self-aware, although the Hou Ye loves the concubine and has a family, but the days to come are still long, and the people who can really decide the fate of the concubine and the concubine's children are the mother and His Royal Highness."

Zhou said so much, but Concubine Huo Xian listened to the last sentence. Concubine Huo Xian glanced at Zhou, she knew each other and knew who she couldn't offend.

Seeing that Concubine Huo Xian had loosened, Zhou's heart finally settled down a little.

"Niangniang, this matter is that the concubine body has not been done well, please give the concubine a chance to make up for it."

Hearing this, Concubine Huo Xian's eyes raised slightly, "Oh? How do you want to make up for it? "Since Zhou said so, he didn't come empty-handed.

Zhou replied respectfully: "Niangniang didn't care about her previous suspicions to win over Huo Changjin, but because of his outstanding talent, even His Majesty praised him. Zhou Jinzhi, the younger brother of the concubine, is the head of the household department, and will even sit in the position of the household secretary in the future, does the mother think he can be compared with Huo Changjin? ”

"Li Er and Bengong mentioned this person, without relying on the relationship of the Jingbei Hou Mansion, he can go from a small sesame official to the position of a household servant in a few years, and he is indeed a talent." Concubine Huo Xian's tone seemed to be as plain as water, but in fact, she was very clear inside, if you compare Zhou Jinzhi and Huo Sijin, then Huo Sijin is far inferior to Zhou Jinzhi.

Not to mention, in terms of age and experience alone, Huo Sijin is much worse than Zhou Jinzhi. Huo Sijin is just a fledgling young man, but Zhou Jinzhi has already been crawling in the officialdom. And in terms of the speed of his promotion, it is obvious that Zhou Jinzhi is definitely a person who is good at officialdom planning, and in comparison, Huo Sijin's career is more like luck.

Concubine Huo Xian didn't know, if you really talked about her experience, Huo Sijin's previous life and present life combined were people who could be an official for several years and reach the peak. Of course, Concubine Huo Xian didn't know this secret all her life.

Right now, Concubine Huo Xian is really moved, Chu Li has long had the intention of wooing, but Zhou Jinzhi deliberately distanced himself from the Jingbei Hou Mansion, and he did not have any dealings with him, so that Chu Li never found the right time. Now that Zhou took the initiative, it was like a pillow handed over when he fell asleep.

"Your brother agreed?" The corners of Concubine Huo Xian's eyebrows rose slightly, if she could really win over Zhou Jinzhi, it would be a good thing.

Zhou's face was a little unnatural, if Zhou Jinzhi really agreed, why should she be humble.

"He ......" Zhou paused, his heart was crossed, and he said directly, "He has conditions, as long as His Highness can promise to make him prime minister when he succeeds in the future." ”

Concubine Huo Xian was slightly surprised, and then chuckled: "As soon as you open your mouth, you will be the prime minister, sister-in-law, your younger brother has a lot of appetite." ”

Regarding Zhou Jinzhi's conditions, Concubine Huo Xian doesn't mind much, and people who have plans can use it more reassuringly.

Zhou Shi then said: "Jinzhi is cautious, he has always been cautious in doing things, and he never believes in verbal promises. ”

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Concubine Huo Xian's face disappeared instantly, "If you don't believe in the verbal promise, is it difficult to write it down in black and white?" ”

Zhou's face was sneering, but he didn't want to write it down in black and white, "Don't hide it from Niangniang, Jinzhi has always been a meticulous character, even if it is a concubine, his own sister, he will not trust it very much." I don't know what's going on with him, but since he entered the office, he has developed this temperament. ”

Zhou believes that Concubine Huo Xian understands what she means, is cautious and cautious, and is extremely vigilant, so it is no wonder that he can rise to the top in officialdom. If he agreed to Zhou Jinzhi's conditions, it would definitely be of great help to Chu Li.

Concubine Huo Xian fell into silence, and after a long time, she raised her eyes and said, "If he can really help Li Er, he should also be the prime minister." ”

If Zhou Jinzhi can really be of great help to Chu Li, then this credit will be great, and it is not impossible to be the head of a hundred officials.

Hearing this, Zhou was greatly relieved, and today was finally not in vain.

The news that the Zhou family had dealt with Concubine Huo Xian was quickly sent to Huo Sijin......
