Chapter 162: Calculation

The Meng family holds the power of the army, and the Xu family itself is also a wife, so their position is not far from the first place.

And although the Jiang family is a marquis, and Mrs. Jiang also has an order, I don't know if it was because of the previous incident that annoyed the queen, or if it was for something else.

Mrs. Jiang and her entourage were arranged in the back place.

Not long after the small banquet began, the banquet was lively.

Everyone laughed and laughed, as if the dispute and the open and secret battle just now had never appeared.

Only Jiang Yunqing could feel that Concubine Hui had been watching her all the time, with anger and resentment in her eyes.

On the Jiang family's side, Li Yunshu's eyes seemed to be quenched with poison, and she looked at her with resentment, as if she wanted to kill her directly.

Halfway through the banquet, there was a little eunuch in front of them to inform them to go to the Taiji Hall for the banquet.

On the way to the Taiji Palace, Xu Shi excused himself to be unwell and stayed at the end with Jiang Yunqing.

Seeing the queen and the others leaving, and the people in front of them also distanced themselves from them, Xu Shi suddenly couldn't wait to lower his voice and said urgently: "Yun Qing, what happened just now?" ”

Jiang Yunqing looked at Xu in confusion.

Xu said in a low voice: "Just now, the queen embarrassed you, it was Concubine Hui who helped you break the siege, and I saw that Concubine Hui defended you everywhere, and even blamed the Jiang family." ”

"Why did you suddenly speak for the queen, didn't you offend Concubine Hui?"

Jiang Yunqing looked at the person in front of him, and said while walking forward slowly: "Uncle thinks that Concubine Hui is helping me?" ”

Xu Shi was stunned: "Isn't it?" ”

"Uncle, Concubine Hui is the biological mother of the eldest prince."

"The eldest prince lost his errand this time because of the assassination of the crown prince, not only did the city be full of turmoil, but the wings in his hands were damaged countless times."

"In the eyes of outsiders, the Meng family not only saved the prince, but the fifth brother even took Cai Jie's errand a few days ago and took the Xishan garrison in the hands of the eldest prince, do you think Concubine Hui will come to help me and help our Meng family without any trouble?"

Jiang Yunqing's words fell, and Xu couldn't help but speak: "But just now, Concubine Hui was indeed relieving you......"

"Helping me out doesn't mean you're helping me."

Jiang Yunqing tugged at his cuffs and said lightly:

"Although the queen doesn't like me, even if she wants to punish me again, she still has to take care of my grandfather's face. If she is really too much, she will not only offend the Meng family, but also make enemies for the five princes. ”

"The queen is not a stupid person, at most, she is uncomfortable and wants to teach me a few words and make me lose some face, but after Concubine Hui came, she opened her mouth to provoke, and directly made the whole thing out of control."

There was a little coldness in her eyes.

"Concubine Hui looks like she's helping me on the surface, but in fact, she's been using me as a raft and using my things to slander the queen."

"Not only did she make us a target opposite the queen, but she even wanted to blame the queen for the attack on the prince."

"Once the queen severely punishes me, it means that she can't see the prince's safety, and she can't see me saving the prince. At that time, Concubine Hui will let people spread a few more rumors, saying that the matter of Xishan was done by the five princes, and the eldest prince will be able to completely clear up the relationship and let the five princes take the blame. ”

"But if the queen doesn't punish me, it will be tantamount to slapping herself in the face, how can the words she said before be completed."

"When the queen is disgraced, how can she let me go, the culprit?"
