"Cousin Changjin, you and I are cousins, since we are a family, our own family should help our own family. The main temple knows that his cousin is a wise man, so he should understand the meaning of the main temple. Chu Li raised his eyebrows and looked at Huo Sijin, and the corners of his lips hooked a meaningful smile.

Huo Sijin's face gradually became serious, and he said, "So, Changjin's cranky thinking is actually right?" ”

Chu Li smiled, but this smile was no longer warm, "This is not called cranky, Changjin, you are too timid." ”

In Chu Li's opinion, this cousin is not stupid, although he is not amazing, but at least he is also smart and clever, but he has not been valued by the Marquis of Jingbei for many years, so he has developed a timid temperament.

Huo Sijin looked sneered, pursed the corners of his lips, and said timidly: "How can Your Highness help Changjin?" Changjin is indeed not very bold, but I am afraid that I will not be able to help His Highness much......"

These words were full of prevarication, and immediately made Jingbei Hou unhappy, and he immediately reprimanded her: "What are you talking about!" The third prince has something to tell you, where can you shirk it! Ben Hou told you that if you dare to shirk again, you will not be a member of the Huo family in the future! ”

As soon as these words came out, Huo Sijin's face turned pale, "Father, are you really so ruthless?" ”

Anyone could feel that she was so frightened that her voice trembled.

Chu Li hurriedly came out to play a round: "Uncle, my cousin is timid, don't scare him." ”

After speaking, he explained to Huo Sijin: "Cousin Changjin, uncle doesn't mean that, don't think about it." You are the concubine of the Jingbei Hou Mansion, and you will inherit the Hou Mansion in the future, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked you to seal the long history of the East Palace, in fact, it is also to win you over and win over the Jingbei Hou Mansion. But cousin, you have to understand that because you were born in the Jingbei Hou Mansion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will only woo you today, but in the future, he will also be suspicious of you for this reason, even if you don't do anything. ”

Chu Li's words are extremely open, it is a fact that Huo Sijin was born in the Jingbei Hou Mansion, because of this, the crown prince Chu Zheng is now wooing her, but in the future, the prince will also be suspicious of her because of this, and will not trust her wholeheartedly and respect her.

The Marquis of Jingbei received Chu Li's eyes, and Chu Li asked him to follow his words.

Although he was still angry about Fang Cai's affairs in his heart, Jingbei Hou had always been obedient to Chu Li's words, and now that Chu Li meant this, he would not speak against Chu Li's thoughts.

Jingbei Hou tried his best to calm his face, "Changjin, if you help your cousin, if he gains power in the future, you will definitely be indispensable." Although he did not speak in a gentle tone, at least there was no reprimand.

Huo Sijin frowned, was silent for a while, and then said: "Changjin is stupid, I don't know where to help the third prince?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Li's heart was overjoyed, the corners of his lips hooked up a smile, his smile was full of insidiousness and cunning, as well as a hint of smugness.

"Cousin, this palace will not let you do dangerous things, you just need to tell the crown prince every move truthfully to this palace."

Huo Sijin's eyebrows frowned slightly, "How should I inform His Highness?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, someone will find you." Chu Li knew that she was timid, and instructed again, "You are just passing on the news, so you must not be timid in front of the prince, otherwise it will be easy for him to see it." ”

Hearing this, Huo Sijin's already pale face turned a little pale, and he seemed to be very frightened, "Yes, thank you Your Highness for mentioning it." If nothing happens, Changjin will retreat. ”

Chu Li nodded, "Tomorrow my cousin will go to Huzhou, it's better to go back and rest early." ”

……

After Huo Sijin left, the Marquis of Jingbei and Chu Li said: "Your Highness, Changjin is too timid and cowardly, I am worried that not only will she not be able to help His Highness, but I am afraid that she will cause trouble to His Highness in turn." ”

You must know that Chu Li has never faced the crown prince Chu Zheng head-on, and on the surface, he has always been a humble prince who plays the role of brother and brother. But if Huo Sijin is discovered by Chu Zheng, then it will arouse Chu Zheng's vigilance.

Startling the grass and the snake, this is definitely not a good thing for Chu Li.

However, Chu Li disagreed, smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Uncle, you are too worried, cowardice has the advantage of being timid, this palace has always wanted to place people around the prince, but in the end, it was all unsuccessful, and the person who was installed was quickly noticed by the prince, but Changjin is different, he is timid and afraid, in order to save his life, he will definitely do things in a very measured way." ”

"A person who does things in a measured way, even timid, is not easy to be discovered." The corners of Chu Li's lips were raised high, and he successfully installed his ears and eyes beside the crown prince Chu Zheng, how could he be displeased?

"But ......" Marquis Jingbei still didn't quite agree, and said with a frown, "Changjin is too timid, in case he is discovered by the crown prince, he is afraid that he will confess to His Highness immediately." ”

mentioned this "cowardly" son, Jingbei Hou's tone was mixed with a trace of disgust.

This son was not what he was looking forward to, besides, now that the Zhou family is pregnant again, if the Zhou family gives birth to a boy, wouldn't Huo Sijin, the eldest son, stand in the way of the son he longed for?

"Uncle, don't worry." Chu Li patted Jingbei Hou on the shoulder, "Changjin is not a stupid person, he is not so easy to find. His tone was confident.

He didn't think this cousin was a stupid man, a smart and cautious person, and it was more reassuring to use.

"Rou'er, when did you come?" At the moment when Jingbei Hou raised his eyes, he happened to see Huo Zhirou hiding at the back door of the flower hall, and was very surprised, how long has she been standing here?

Huo Zhirou bit the corner of her lip lightly, raised her eyes to look at Chu Li, and quickly retracted her eyes, without moving her steps.

Since returning from the hunting ground, Chu Li has never come to find Huo Zhirou, Huo Zhirou panicked, she knew that she had made Chu Li unhappy.

Concubine Huo Xian summoned her that day, she wanted to take this opportunity to have a good talk with Chu Li, whether she apologized or coquettish, she would definitely make Chu Li not angry with her anymore.

However, she didn't find Chu Li that day, Huo Zhirou subconsciously thought that this time Chu Li must be so angry that she didn't even want to see her face.

"Rou'er, what are you still doing there, come over and greet Your Highness." Seeing that his daughter was not moving, Jingbei Hou hurriedly urged.

Huo Zhirou looked at Chu Li and hesitated for a moment, then she moved lightly, slowly stepped forward, and bowed to her knees, "Rou'er has seen Brother Li." ”

was finally uneasy in his heart, and at the end he added a sentence in a hurry: "Brother Li, Rou'er knows it's wrong, don't be angry with Rou'er, okay?" In the future, Rou'er will never make trouble again. ”

After returning from the palace, Huo Zhirou became more and more worried, she was worried that her brother Li was annoyed with her and didn't like her anymore. Zhou took the opportunity to talk to Huo Zhirou about a lot of ways to get along with husband and wife, whether it is coquettish or playful, there is a degree, don't behave inappropriately at an inappropriate time.

Chu Li hadn't taken care of her for a long time, and Huo Zhirou had already regretted that she shouldn't have messed with Chu Li because of a cheap maid, so she also listened to Zhou's words these days.

Now Huo Zhirou is a lot more gentle and submissive, no longer the same as before, like a cannon battle, making trouble at all.
