Lu Cheng's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he said, "If you have anything, you can say it, this is outside the imperial study, what kind of crying and crying are you?" ”

Lu Cheng's voice was lowered, "If you are like this, you will be shocked by Your Majesty for a while, even if Niangniang arrives in person, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect you." ”

The little maid hurriedly shut up, "Yes, the slave doesn't dare." ”

Lu Cheng said, "Okay, if you have anything, you can say it quickly, if you come here so late, you must have been ready to say something, so why bother going around in circles here in our house." ”

The little maid said, "Yes." Companion Rongyu, as soon as the matter of His Royal Highness the Great Prince came out today, Niangniang knew about it, and after Niangniang knew it, she was very anxious, she was in a hurry and wanted to come out and go to Your Majesty to intercede. ”

Lu Cheng raised his eyebrows and did not speak.

The little maid continued, "It's still Mama Li who is stopping, after all, Niangniang is still in the ground, if she comes out, it will be disobeying the holy decree, and this sin is not a little bit." But the mother is worried about the eldest prince, how can it be uncomfortable. ”

Lu Cheng suddenly laughed, and then interrupted her, "The relationship between our mother and the eldest prince is really good." ”

When I said this, I thought it was a mother and son of my in-laws.

This unfinished meaning is naturally understood, and the little girl naturally understands.

After all, she is also a relatively smart person picked out by the queen.

She sighed, "It's no wonder that the eldest companion said this, probably everyone will think like this, after all, this queen is not the mother of the eldest prince, but His Royal Highness the eldest prince has been raised by his mother's side since he was a child, even if he is not biological, there is not much difference from his biological one, or it is precisely because he is not biological, so his attitude towards His Royal Highness the eldest prince is to be more careful. ”

Lu Cheng smiled, "Yes, I feel even better than when I was the second prince." ”

This is also a question they must prepare for.

That is, at this juncture, why didn't the queen come to intercede with the second prince but to intercede with the eldest prince?

Isn't his own son as good as someone else's?

The little maid said, "Big companion, let's be slaves, why haven't you persuaded Niangniang to say this kind of thing, after all, Niangniang should think about the second prince first, and now she has been grounded in the house for a few days, why don't you feel sorry for the second prince?" ”

"Exactly, what does the mother say?"

Niangniang said that the mistake made by His Royal Highness the Second Prince was too serious, and he should be asked to reflect on it in the palace. This time, if Niangniang went to His Majesty to intercede with him, if it really had any effect, it would make him have no memory. ”

"Then you came here today, did your mother order you to come?"

- That's almost a slip of the tongue.

The little maid hurriedly said, "How is this possible? Niangniang knows that she has made a big mistake now, where else dare to disturb Your Majesty, but she is just washing her face with tears in the palace, because she knows that His Majesty has issued such a big fire to His Royal Highness the Great Prince, and she can't bear it. ”

"Oh?"

"Niangniang thought in her heart, His Royal Highness the eldest prince has no biological mother since he was a child, and he was raised under the knees of the mother, over the years, because of more pity, now I feel more and more guilty in my heart, I feel that it is because I am too pampered with the eldest prince, so I let the eldest prince come to this point, in the end, it is not the fault of the eldest prince, it must be the fault of the mother."

Lu Cheng sighed, "Why is this so Niangniang." ”

"Yes, the slaves and maids also persuade, but the mother has never been able to come out, that is, she is too sad, she almost cried just now, we are slaves, maybe there are many things and nothing to do, but I always think in my heart, I can share some for the mother, that is, I should solve the problem for the mother."

"So you're in the study?"

"Yes, the slave maid wants the companion to help take a look - I don't dare to ask the companion to say anything for the mother and the prince, I just want the companion to see His Royal Highness's thoughts, if His Royal Highness is not as angry as the mother thinks, the slave and maid should go back and relax the mother's heart."

"This ......," Lu Cheng was embarrassed, "how can we easily speculate on His Majesty's thoughts?" Spying on the Sacred Heart is a capital offense. ”

"There's no need to embarrass the eldest companion, it's just that the eldest companion will see if this eldest prince still has a chance to redeem the Sacred Heart, and the others don't have to care."

Lu Cheng looked at her, the little maid was very smart, and she could speak, twisting and turning, and did not explain her original meaning.

If Lu Cheng hadn't gone to Cao Tingyu's side today, maybe it would have been really easy to be fooled by this.

I think people don't have anything else to ask for, and all they want is to let the queen feel at ease.

This kind of thinking can be regarded as touching.

But because Lu Cheng has been to Cao Tingyu's side, no matter what it is, he will be more vigilant.

Especially the matter of the eldest prince.

Even now, Lu Cheng has almost guessed the mind of this little girl, no, maybe it can be said that the person behind the little maid - the queen mother.

On the surface, he doesn't need to say anything. But he said in detail how much the queen cared about the eldest prince and how sad she was, but in fact, she didn't just want him to pass on these words to the emperor?

But as long as he opened his mouth, their purpose might have been achieved.

Now, Lu Cheng actually can't figure out whether he wants to intercede for the eldest prince, or whether he secretly wants to harm the eldest prince.

From Lu Cheng's point of view, what this little maid said about the second prince just now makes sense, but if you think about it carefully, it is simply untenable.

The queen thinks that the second prince needs a long lesson, so why don't you think that the eldest prince also needs a lesson?

The queen didn't think about it, she just wanted to ask Lu Cheng to speak to the eldest prince.

Whether this is good or bad is already known.

However, if interceding for the eldest prince is harming the eldest prince, then why should Cao Tingyue stop him?

Since Cao Tingyue is not happy to see the eldest prince, he should not be from the perspective of wanting to protect the eldest prince.

After all, at Cao Tingyue's level, can't it be judged whether the matter of interceding with the eldest prince is good or bad for the current situation?

If he couldn't judge it, how could he sit on the chair of the second in command of the East Factory?

Unless Cao Tingyue doesn't really look at the eldest prince unpleasantly, these words are just twists and turns to find an angle to protect the eldest prince.

Maintaining the Great Prince?

Is it possible?

Everyone knows that the eldest prince is holding the brocade guard, even if this makes His Majesty so unhappy, but the eldest prince still refuses to let go of the brocade guard.

And Jinyiwei and Dongchang have always been at odds, and everyone knows this.

So if Cao Tingyue is the one who wants to inherit the East Factory, how can he shake hands with Jinyiwei and make peace?

It's not possible.

Lu Cheng didn't understand it even more.

He has been on duty in the palace for so many years, and it can be said that he has seen through a lot of people's hearts, and he thinks that many so-called conspiracies and tricks are just small tricks of carving insects, and he can't pass his eyes at all, but at this time, it turned out to be really a little difficult for him to figure it out.

What does Cao Tingyue want?

And what this queen wants, is it what he thinks?

The little palace maid is still waiting for Lu Cheng's meaning.

Lu Cheng said, "It's getting late, no matter what Your Majesty means today, it's not something you can wait at the door, so let's go back first." ”

"Otomo...... That sis......

"You should serve Niangniang with all your heart, as for Your Majesty's meaning, you will naturally know when the time comes, so why rush tonight?"

The little maid didn't know how to understand Lu Cheng's words, but her eyebrows bent for a moment, and then she blinked, "Okay, the slave and maid are clear, and after bothering the eldest companion for so long, the slave and maid should also go back." ”

Lu Cheng nodded, "Go back and serve the queen well." ”

"Yes, the slave knows." After saying this, she walked into the wind and snow, and had no intention of turning back.

Lu Cheng looked at her back and went directly into the imperial study.

-

As soon as the queen heard that someone was back, she hurriedly said, "Hurry up and announce it." ”

The little maid came in, and saluted in a proper manner, and the queen asked, "How?" ”

"Although Lu Cheng didn't prove his promise, the slave and maid looked at his attitude, that is, eight or nine are not far from ten."

The queen breathed a sigh of relief, and Mama Li asked again, "Your Majesty is still awake?" ”

It's not too early.

"Yes, when the slave maid arrived, she saw that the lights in the imperial study were bright, and sometimes there were voices coming out, thinking that there were ministers discussing matters inside."

"Sure enough, this is something extraordinary."

The little maid said again, "The slave deliberately didn't look back when she left, but when she turned the corner, she turned her head cautiously and took a look, and sure enough, there was no Lu Cheng outside, so I thought I had already entered." ”

The queen nodded, "You did a good job." ”

The little maid shook her head, "It's all Niangniang's teachings, but the slave and maid are indeed defensive when they look at Lu Cheng, but they don't know if they will say it as we think." ”

The queen said, "What else could he say?" ”

The little maid was worried, "I'm always worried that this matter will involve the mother." ”

The queen smiled, "Involved, no matter what, this matter will definitely involve this palace, because even if he doesn't say it today and doesn't mention this palace, then tomorrow, this palace will also go to take off the hairpin and kneel down in front of His Majesty." ”

The little maid gasped, "Mother! ”

This is something that only harem concubines do, how can the queen's status be so noble!

The queen just laughed, "This palace has never suffered these hardships before, and now I know that if you want to become a human being, it is okay to endure these hardships." ”
