When the queen heard this, her eyes showed joy, so that she could send people from her clan to southern Xinjiang in a grand manner, although she could not completely hold southern Xinjiang in her hands, but she could monitor the movements of southern Xinjiang from time to time, so that the Su family could not control southern Xinjiang. As for the future, it is necessary to replace the Su family's forces in Xu Xu Tuzhi.

This strategy is really good, the queen looked at Mu Yicen again with satisfaction, this fourth prince has never been in her eyes, this child has died early since he was a child, and there is no foreign race to rely on, and his body is sick and weak, although he grew up in the palace, he has never appeared in front of the emperor, and even until now, he has not even had a title, and he is just the identity of a prince. It's also decent to come to ask for peace on weekdays, not much to say, and not much to do.

But today, it seems that this powerless, powerless and weak prince is her best choice now.

She has no heirs to rely on, rather than letting those powerful princes succeed to the throne, it is better to arch these four princes to the throne, which can be more useful to her in the future.

Mu Yicen knew what the queen was thinking, and he was quietly waiting for the queen to consider.

The queen's own family, the Pang family, has begun to weaken in recent years, and the Lu family and the Su family, the second prince's family, have been growing in power in recent years, and he, the powerless and powerless prince, will be the best choice for the queen.

In the previous life, although the queen also chose him, but it was six years later, six years later, the power of the Su family and the power of the Lu family had grown to the point that it could not be suppressed, and the queen chose him in desperation, but at that time, the power of the two clans was deep-rooted, and the second prince did whatever it took to seize the imperial power.

This time, he asked the queen to choose him in advance, so that he would have more time to strategize and avoid harming the people.

Mu Yicen watched the gaze in the queen's eyes gradually soften, and smiled in his heart.

The queen pretended not to care and said: "This palace is just a woman's family, and I don't understand national affairs, you have a good way to go to the court to play in front of the king, and you don't need to talk to this palace here." ”

She looked at Su Qing who was kneeling below and said, "Even if it is an unintentional mistake, it should be punished." I will punish you, go back and meditate for seven days, and think about it behind closed doors. Even with the daughter of the Li family kneeling outside, the people's livelihood is suffering, and the mind is swaggering with a string of beads and chains, and they also give the palace home to think about the past. ”

"And you," the queen nodded to the princes kneeling in the hall with her hand, "and all go back to the palace and think about it, what kind of truth you read in your book, what the sage said, and what the Taifu said!" ”

This year's royal tangram banquet is finally over, different from the lively and lively scene after the end of previous years, this year, the children of the official family at the first time when the eunuch announced the end of the banquet, honestly and orderly left the palace, served by their own maids, and quietly returned to their respective mansions.

The Li Mansion was not the dignitary's own house, the mansion was quite far away from the palace, and after a lot of twists and turns, it was already dark, and the four young ladies of the Li Mansion returned to the front of the mansion.

The maids waiting at the door hurriedly surrounded them and helped their young lady out of the carriage.

The housekeeper's mother-in-law, Zhou, greeted her and said, "Ladies are working hard, please take a short rest and go to the old lady's room to say goodbye." ”

There is no trivial matter in the palace, every time after the banquet, the four young ladies need to go to the old lady's room, saying that they are asking for peace, but in fact, they want to tell the things that happened at the banquet in detail, so that the second master Li who is in the court thinks about the hidden mysteries.

Green Calyx draped a cloak over Li Jinshu: "Miss, the night is cold, be careful of the cold." ”

He whispered to Li Jinshu's ear: "The slave and maid have also prepared a meal, the young lady will go back with the slave and maid, eat some hot food to cushion her stomach, and go to the old lady's room I don't know how long it will take to come out." ”

Li Jinshu patted the green calyx's hand and gave her a complimenting look.

Suddenly, the maid Xiaotao exclaimed in the back: "Miss! What's wrong with you? ”

Li Jinyao held a handkerchief, covered her swollen face, and staggered out of the carriage.

She was punished to kneel in the garden until the end of the feast, and she was also a pampered young lady on weekdays, kneeling on the cold brick floor for more than three hours, until now there was no water or food in her stomach, and she only felt that it was dark in front of her, and her whole body was weak, and her knees were painful when she moved, and she fell to the ground as soon as she got off the carriage.

The accompanying maid didn't dare to say much, Xiao Tao saw the miserable situation on Li Jinyao's face, her frightened face turned white, and she didn't dare to ask again.

Li Jinyao was supported by Xiao Tao, limping slowly and walking at the rear.

Li Jinshu returned to his yard, kicked off his shoes, and posed a big word on the bed.

"Fourth Miss was punished in the palace?" As soon as the green calyx entered the door, she ran over eagerly and asked.

Seeing Li Jinshu nodding, the green calyx became even more nervous, she took Li Jinshu's arm and looked her up and down: "Can you implicate Miss?" Has Miss also been punished? ”

Li Jinshu smiled and pushed her hand away and said, "No, no, I'm fine." ”

Green Calyx breathed a sigh of relief: "Then Miss, come and eat something." ”
