Chapter 255: Invitation
As the emperor grew older, his body gradually became unbearable, and he fell ill several times. It stands to reason that with the crown prince in power, the position of "supervising the country" to assist the emperor in handling state affairs should fall on the prince of the East Palace.
And the Four Princes' Party has become more and more powerful, and it is on a par with the princelings, so it has become a situation of confrontation today.
The six princes who returned from going out fell behind and became the weaker side, but they also stayed out of the way and got along.
"Ding Shi told me like this, that's why he didn't go to the six princes today, but accompanied me over." For the sake of Mrs. Anhou's heart, Jiang Yingli told the reasons before and after.
It's just that when Mrs. Hou heard this, her face was not good.
"When you say that, I'm even more worried."
Jiang Yingli was quite puzzled by this, her eyebrows furrowed, and her face looked puzzled: "Mother, what do you mean?" Ding Shi has been doing things for the Six Princes for so long, and he should be better at dealing with these things than us. It would be much safer for him to investigate and deal with it. can quickly know who is behind Aunt Zhang's back, and who is calculating her behind her back. ”
Jiang Yingli paused, and then added: "Mother, don't forget, there are also Aunt Hu and Aunt Xu are also watching from the side. What worries me the most now is that in addition to the two of them, there is another group of people who are staring at my mother and want to be unfavorable to my mother. ”
Jiang Yingli said, how did Mrs. Hou not know? The chill behind her before came from this. Being watched and calculated like this made her terrified.
"I know what you're saying." Mrs. Hou sighed faintly, but she was even more melancholy, even more depressed than before: "These things, after all, are only the affairs of the inner house." Suffer a loss and grow wise, and there is also an old lady to mention with you, I will never make a second foolishness. But what you just said reminds me of something else. ”
Jiang Yingli couldn't help but stretch out her hand, wanting to stretch out Mrs. Hou's frowning eyebrows, and persuaded softly: "Doctor Guo also said that my mother can't worry too much, it's not good for the fetus." ”
Mrs. Hou sighed again, and after sighing, she realized that she had been sighing for a long time since she was pregnant.
"You just said that the crown prince is fighting for power with the four princes, and the sixth prince is idle, which seems to be a good thing, but it is also something I am worried about." After all, Mrs. Hou has been married to Anping Hou for decades, and she is more sensitive to government affairs than Jiang Yingliang.
Seeing that she was puzzled, Fang Youyou explained: "As the saying goes, mussels and cranes compete with each other, and fishermen benefit. If the crown prince and the four princes continue to fight like this, one side will inevitably win, and the other side will be greatly damaged. And even if one side wins, there will be a loss. The worst result is that both sides lose, so that others choose a cheaper, this kind of simple truth, even I and a woman know, do you think the prince and the four princes will not know this? ”
"Mother means ......" With Mrs. Hou's click, Jiang Yingli also thought of a little, and her face gradually became solemn.
"The crown prince and the fourth prince will not let Yun Chuan be the fisherman. Moreover, Yunchuan is still shallow now, and it is not impossible for it to be pushed out and used as a target. Therefore, if Yun Chuan wants to stay out of the matter, I am afraid it is very difficult. That's why I'm even more worried that his current situation is really precarious. There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, not only the prince and the four princes are staring at him, but there are also queens in the harem who are embarrassed, and I have also heard that the concubine also has some dislikes with Yunchuan. But because of the queen, the concubine will not make a move against Yunchuan now. ”
Jiang Yingli was silent for a moment, the queen naturally didn't need to say it, but on the concubine's side, she could still figure it out somewhat. After all, the concubine forced Marquis Anping to make a move, but she had already torn her face, and Marquis Anping's Mansion was considered a foreign force of the six princes, so it was reasonable for the two to fight each other.
She was happy that Qiu Muyun could stay in the mansion to accompany her more, but now after Mrs. Hou's analysis, she also became worried.
Then, as if to prove that their worries were not reasonable, a moment later, they heard Chen's mother come to tell them that the prince's mansion had sent a maid over.
Jiang Yingli and Mrs. Hou couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes.
"The slave maid has seen Mrs. Hou, the county lord of Jiang." The maid of the prince's mansion stepped forward and saluted.
No matter how worried she was, Mrs. Hou had to cheer up and smile reluctantly, "Girl, please get up, I don't know if the girl is coming over at this moment, but what does the princess command." ”
The maid smiled, and then handed over the invitation in her hand.
"The crown princess will hold a flower-viewing banquet in the prince's mansion the day after tomorrow, so she sent slaves and maids to come and personally invite Mrs. Hou to go with the county lord of Jiang."
Jiang Yingli took the invitation, and her eyes dimmed slightly.
"The princess is kind, we shouldn't have resigned, it's just that my mother was frightened a few days ago, and she was a little sick, I'm afraid I won't be able to go......" Jiang Yingli smiled apologetically at the maid, planning to take advantage of Mrs. Hou's pregnancy to push off this flower-viewing banquet.
Mrs. Hou also bowed her head slightly when she heard this, and her face was full of apologies.
"The princess was warmly invited, and I also longed for it, but this body was not angry, and I bothered the girl to explain to the princess."
The maid seemed to have expected that Mrs. Hou and Jiang Yingli would refuse, and the smile on her face did not change, and then she took out a prescription and a porcelain bottle from her sleeve and handed it over.
"The crown princess has also heard before, and she is also very concerned about Mrs. Hou's body, so she specially invited the head of the hospital to prescribe this prescription for the fetus, as well as this pill, which will definitely make Mrs. Hou's body feel comfortable."
Under Jiang Yingliang's signal, he stepped forward to take the things handed over by the maid, opened the porcelain bottle, sniffed it lightly, and then nodded at Jiang Yingliang.
It seems that the crown princess came prepared, and she had to invite them to go.
Mrs. Hou and Jiang Yingli couldn't help but be silent for a while, and they were secretly measuring in their hearts.
Seeing this, the maid smiled again, and continued: "Mrs. Hou doesn't know, in fact, the princess held this flower-viewing banquet for Mrs. Hou. ”
When Mrs. Hou heard this, her face showed surprise, and she hurriedly asked, "What does the girl mean by this?" ”
"It's not a secret, the princess is selfish, I heard that Mrs. Hou can still be pregnant at this advanced age, the princess is very surprised by this, and at the same time hopes to ask Mrs. Hou a thing or two, so she held this flower-viewing banquet, and I hope that Mrs. Hou can be invited to go at this point."
Jiang Yingli and Mrs. Hou glanced at each other, but they couldn't see the helpless thoughts.
The crown princess put her posture so low, and the maid was so humble, if they insisted on not going, they would slap the princess in the face and fall into the mouth.
"That being the case, then the day after tomorrow, my wife and I will definitely attend on time."
