"Li'er, Huo Changjin really hates the Jingbei Marquis Mansion for treating him poorly, but it's not difficult to let him out of this breath."

Concubine Huo Xian didn't think it was difficult to get Huo Sijin, difficulties and opportunities coexisted, knowing the other party's knot, as long as the knot was untied, wouldn't it be good?

However, there is a premise, that is, it must be guaranteed that Huo Sijin is still a person from the Jingbei Hou Mansion.

"Huo Changjin has no father-son affection for your uncle, but his mother Yang is different from him. A woman's heart is the softest, as long as the Yang family and your uncle get back together, then as a son, Huo Changjin will still have trouble with his mother? ”

Regarding what Concubine Huo Xian said, Chu Li did not nod immediately, but said: "It's not that Erchen hasn't shown favor to him, but he is either perfunctory on the surface and stumbling on Erchen behind his back, or he simply shouldn't do it, and directly look at him coldly." ”

"Mother, the sons always feel that Huo Changjin can't be wooed, and he himself disdains to be won over by the sons." Corporal Lixian, Chu Li can do such a thing, but Chu Li doesn't like such a thing as sticking his hot face to someone else's cold ass.

Even if Huo Sijin is talented and useful, he doesn't have to be her, why should he keep licking his face to show goodwill?

"Li'er, your sincerity is not enough, so naturally you can't win people over." Concubine Huo Xian didn't think it was because of how difficult it was for Huo Sijin to win over, "You went in and out with Zhirou on the one hand, and on the other hand, you showed favor to Huo Changjin, Huo Changjin hated Zhou's mother and daughter the most, if this palace was him, he would not be co-opted by you." ”

Concubine Huo Xian thought that the crux of the problem was not that Huo Sijin disdained to be co-opted by Chu Li, but that Chu Li obviously had a close relationship with the people in the second room.

Hearing this, Chu Li frowned, "But Erchen and Zhirou have already been engaged, could it be that the mother concubine asked Erchen not to marry Zhirou for the sake of Huo Changjin?" ”

Concubine Huo Xian didn't immediately answer yes or no, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Chu Li, "Li'er, do you like Zhirou?" ”

"Zhirou is beautiful, she is the most favored person in the Jingbei Hou Mansion, and she also has an uncle who has risen in official rank. Although she is a little more delicate, she puts her sons first in everything, and she is also generally knowledgeable, and it is okay to marry her, but it may not be necessary to say that she will not marry. ”

Chu Li instantly understood what Concubine Huo Xian meant by asking this, so he answered everything in his heart. He has long known that the positions of the concubines and concubines around him are reserved for marriage, Huo Zhirou is still a suitable marriage partner, and it is okay to marry her, but if there is a more suitable marriage partner, it is not impossible to give up Huo Zhirou.

"But the mother concubine, in order to win over Huo Changjin, just gave up Zhirou like this, is it really worth it?"

Chu Li didn't mind giving up Huo Zhirou, but if it was to win over Huo Changjin, it would be up for debate.

Hearing his words, Concubine Huo Xian smiled with relief, "You are not blinded by the private affairs of your children, and this palace is relieved." ”

Huo Zhirou followed Chu Li's side day by day, Concubine Huo Xian didn't say anything, but she was a little dirty in her heart, although she had already decided on Huo Zhirou and Chu Li's relationship, but she didn't want Chu Li to be too affectionate to Huo Zhirou. Like the Marquis of Jingbei, who was arrested by the Zhou family, Concubine Huo Xian didn't want the same thing to happen to her son.

"Huo Changjin wants to win over, but Zhirou can't let it go." Concubine Huo Xian hooked her lips and smiled, "You and Zhirou's marriage will be put aside in advance, as long as you have Huo Changjin in your hand, you will be more hopeful." ”

Huo Sijin and Huo Zhirou both have great use value, of course, they must be held in the palm of their hands.

Chu Li had concerns, "Zhirou has a deep affection for her son, and it is easy for her to handle it, but Mrs. Zhou is not easy to fool." ”

He can coax Huo Zhirou well, but the Zhou family is not Huo Zhirou, and it is not so easy to settle.

"You don't have to worry about the Zhou family, if you ascend the throne as the emperor, her daughter can sit in the position of the queen, the Zhou family is a smart person, she knows what to give up and what not to give up." Concubine Huo Xian was not worried that the Zhou family would make trouble, she knew that this little sister-in-law had been working outside for a long time in order to enter the door of the Jingbei Hou Mansion when she was young.

The Zhou family is a small family again, and the Zhou family is also a person who has read books, knows etiquette, righteousness and shame, and can endure the outer room without media, what else can't be tolerated, not to mention that Huo Zhirou is not called the outer room.

"But the mother, Huo Changjin doesn't get in the oil and salt, and the sons really can't do anything about him." Chu Li was still in trouble, he felt that Huo Changjin was just a stone, and he couldn't move it.

"What to do, do you still use this palace to teach you?" Concubine Huo Xian's face was a little more angry, "You and Huo Changjin are cousins who are related by blood, and it is perfect to make an appointment to drink and drink tea on weekdays. ”

"This palace has taught you these truths a long time ago, but now you are unwilling to use them on Huo Changjin."

Where is Chu Li unable to do it, but he doesn't want to do it in his heart.

Concubine Huo Xian sighed heavily, "This palace knows what you are thinking in your heart, you have failed to win over Huo Changjin in the past, and you have suffered a lot of anger, so if you let him win him over again, you will not be happy in your heart." ”

"Li'er, this palace also knows that your heart is on fire, but you must know that the current situation is not good for you. The Yao family is declining, and the five princes will not be able to become a climate in the future. But if you think about it, where are you going? ”

Concubine Huo Xian didn't want Chu Li to think about it herself, so she simply said directly: "The Huo family's side is a degraded official, and the one who is in prison is in prison, and now your uncle can still speak in the court." Zhou Jinzhi is a talent, but in the end he is still far from the nobles of the deep-rooted family, he can only give you advice, but he cannot increase your prestige in the hearts of the courtiers. ”

"If the prince wants to ascend to the throne, he must either occupy an orthodox position, or be favored by the emperor, and then he will be respected by his subjects."

Concubine Huo Xian said earnestly, "And you don't have any of these, but Chu Zheng, he was born as a son-in-law, the first queen died of illness, His Majesty was ashamed, and directly gave him the title of prince." Then he fought on the battlefield at the border pass, and made countless military exploits, although the ministers felt that he was too violent and not a benevolent king, but how many of the real powerful generals were promoted by him. ”

Concubine Huo Xian's words, Chu Li was speechless.

Indeed, compared to Chu Heng, he is not much better, judging from the current situation, he is not worthy of competing with Chu Zheng for the throne at all.

In the end, I only heard Concubine Huo Xian say again: "Originally, if the Luo family was really optimistic about you and was willing to support you, this palace would not let you bother to win over Huo Changjin again." ”

"If it weren't for the urgent matter at the border, maybe the Locke family would have formed an alliance with us by now." Chu Li said regretfully, it's a pity that he took the Wenchen route, otherwise he would have directly asked for an order to go to the border pass, maybe everything would have come true.

Concubine Huo Xian shook her head, "You don't have to count on the Luo family anymore, this is the news that just came, you can see for yourself." ”

As she spoke, Concubine Huo Xian handed a few letters to Chu Li.

Chu Li opened it and looked at it, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

"Almost half of the eldest princess's personal soldiers have been sent back to retire, and the Luo family army is completely surnamed Luo. Outsiders only say that it is a change of power within the Locke family, but in fact, we have become evidence of the Locke family's separation of power from the eldest princess. ”

Concubine Huo Xian smiled bitterly, "Even if the palace is poor, it is still a concubine, although Li Er, although you are not the prince, you are also the eldest son among the existing princes, but because we are not powerful enough, we can only survive being used." ”

Chu Li's fingers were clenched tightly, almost crushing the letter, "I haven't heard about this, where did the news come from?" ”

He also had a hint of thought that the news was wrong and false. The eldest princess of Yi'an and Luo Zhengqing frequently courted him, how could this matter be his dream, he is also the prince, the prince is the heir, but he is also the eldest son, and he is also qualified to inherit the throne.

"Li'er, it's true. This is the news from Zhou Jinzhi's side, he has formed an alliance with us, there is no need to lie to us. Concubine Huo Xian's words ruthlessly broke Chu Li's last thoughts.

Chu Li's fists were clenched, and the green tendons on the back of his hands bulged, he had never felt so humiliated as at this moment.

The Locke family dared to despise him so much!

Well, very good......
