Jiang Yingli also thought so, the two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of tacit understanding.

Above the court, the atmosphere was a little tense.

Although the crown prince has been lifted, he no longer has any sense of presence in the court, and he is not as high-spirited as before.

Although he is still in the position of the crown prince, there are very few courtiers around him, and most of them recognize the situation, either choosing to stand on the side of the four princes, or choosing neutrality.

Those who stay with the prince are those who can't escape from the interest linkage, so they can only follow the prince with both prosperity and loss.

The emperor looked majestic, didn't look at the prince, looked at the ministers with deep eyes and said: "Now that the foreign races in the south are about to move and want to damage my country, do you have any unique insights that can share my worries?" ”

As soon as the emperor's voice fell, the ministers began to discuss, but no one came out at this time.

Now the sacred heart is unpredictable, and they don't know what the emperor wants to do when he asks this, and no one wants to be this bird.

The crown prince felt that this was an opportunity, because of many reasons, his father had a lot of opinions about him, and now his prestige in the court is obviously not as good as before, if he doesn't want to save his image, it will be troublesome.

Therefore, after clearing his throat, he went out directly: "Father, the sons are willing to share the worries of their father, and the sons are willing to invite troops to go on the expedition, teach this southern barbarian who does not know how to settle down, let them see our majestic troops, and deter the frontier." ”

As soon as the prince's words came out, everyone in the court was silent, but the eye contact did not stop, and most of the courtiers looked at the prince with disdain and disdain.

Everyone knows that the prince is being forced to be anxious now, and I'm afraid he can't sit still, but they don't want to support his idea.

When the fourth prince heard the prince's words, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, if his father really wanted to send troops to the frontier, he would say it, and now he is so ambiguous, it is nothing more than that he has not made up his mind.

"Idiot!" The fourth prince commented coldly.

Sure enough, the thoughts in the hearts of the four princes had just fallen, and the emperor spoke, his voice was slightly cold: "Whether to go on an expedition, whether to negotiate or not, I haven't thought about these things yet, I just want to ask your opinions, don't deal with things to extremes!" ”

"For the sake of the stability of the country, I must be cautious in every choice I make, and I will not mention the matter of going on the expedition for the time being, you should think about what I said today and retreat from the dynasty!"

After the emperor finished speaking, he glanced at the prince faintly, and then left with his group of palace maids and eunuchs.

The crown prince looked at the emperor's back with an ugly face, and the hand on his side was clenched into a fist.

"The prince is too anxious, isn't he?" Suddenly, an obnoxious voice rang in his ears.

The crown prince looked sideways, and sure enough, it was the annoying ghost of the fourth prince, he squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Fourth brother, don't be too happy!" ”

The fourth prince raised his eyebrows, and the evil smile on the corner of his mouth deepened: "Why do I think it's too late for me to be happy now?" Hahahaha......" After saying that, he glanced at the prince with disdainful eyes, and left directly with his hands behind his back.

The prince looked at his arrogant back, and his eyes were bursting with anger: "Bastard! ”

"Princess, there's the latest news in the palace." A palace maid came in from outside the door, and after saluting the glass, she said a word carefully.

Liuli frowned when she heard this, and beckoned to her, and the palace maid walked directly to Liuli's ear and whispered something to her.

Jiang Yingli looked a little curious from the side, Liuli's face changed a little after listening, she waved her hand, and the palace maid went down, and then Liuli retreated from the other people in the room, leaving only her and Jiang Yingliang.

Jiang Yingli was a little strange, seeing the other party's appearance, it seemed that he had something to say to her, and sure enough, Liulixiu frowned slightly, and said directly: "Yingliang, the news just came that the prince proposed to go to the south, and the foreign races in the south were about to move, and the emperor's attitude was ambiguous, I am afraid that the world will not be peaceful now." ”

Jiang Yingli frowned when she heard this, the first question she thought of was that if the emperor really wanted to go on the expedition, would he send Yun Chuan to go, and there would definitely be casualties on the battlefield at that time, and if Yun Chuan was injured, Mrs. Hou would definitely be very sad......

Thinking of this, she was a little worried about her mother, so she got up and said goodbye: "Liuli, I still have to tell my mother about this matter in advance, I am worried that Yunchuan will be allowed to go when the time comes." ”

Liuli frowned, and then said uncertainly: "It shouldn't be, right?" For such an important matter, my father should not hand it over to Yun Chuan. ”

Although this is a bit heart-wrenching, but the emperor has always been partial, if he really wants to go on an expedition, he must choose a son he prefers, and then match him with an experienced general, so that it will not be dangerous at that time, and he can directly earn military merits.

Jiang Yingliang smiled wryly: "But everything has a contingency, and this matter still has to be a wake-up call for my mother first." ”

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Liuli no longer persuaded her, so she could only sigh and remind her: "Okay, don't worry, if there is any important news, I will inform you as soon as possible, and I will also persuade Mrs. Hou for me." ”

Jiang Yingli nodded, and said with a grateful smile: "Then thank you here first, I'll go back first." ”

"I'll send you."

"Okay."

……

Jiang Yingli pretended to have something on her mind, and before she knew it, she arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, she got out of the carriage directly, took Jing'er Yunzhu in, and went outside the courtyard of Mrs. Hou.

When Jiang Yingli was about to go in, she was suddenly stopped by the doorkeeper outside, she was slightly surprised, there was no such situation before.

The maid was obviously a little at a loss, she respectfully saluted Jiang Yingli and said, "Miss, let the slave maid go in first and report it." ”

Although Jiang Yingli was strange, he was not embarrassed and nodded: "You go first, I'll wait here." ”

"Miss Xie is compassionate, and the slave will go." The maid came out after a while after entering, and personally invited Jiang Yingli in.

Jiang Yingli nodded, but she was not angry, and walked into the threshold with her skirt: "Mother, I'm here." When she entered, she found her mother sitting in the courtyard, but the other party seemed to be seeing something important.

Jiang Yingli subconsciously looked at the son opposite, it was a very ordinary face, but the other party always gave people a feeling that she was very familiar with, and she was a little fascinated unconsciously by it.

Seeing this, Mrs. Hou couldn't help but smile: "Yingliang, does it look familiar?" ”

Jiang Yingli nodded subconsciously: "It is indeed familiar." After saying that, I realized that I seemed to be stupid, and I laughed a little embarrassed.
