In the West Flower Hall of Hanyan Pavilion, Xu Zhixi was talking to Sun Mingming.

She was holding a new Suzhou embroidered ivory bone fan in her hand, and the fan pendant was a string of crystal beads, which was cool to the touch.

This thing is naturally Sun Mingming's filial piety to her, and Sun Mingming has to honor her many good things every once in a while, and Xu Zhixi accepts it calmly.

These days, she has also figured out Sun Mingming's thoughts, and knows that she wants to cling to the third prince, so she is close to herself.

Therefore, Xu Zhixi did not be soft at all when she accepted her things, speaking of which, the three princes were adopted by Xu Guifei since he was a child, and he was the least favored among the four princes, and everything depended on her aunt Xu Guifei.

What's more, to be fair, Concubine Xu has always treated him well, although she is not as good as her own child, she has never treated him badly.

The third prince is also sensible, and he has never disobeyed Concubine Xu's wishes.

In Xu Zhixi's opinion, the third prince and Sun Mingming are really a good match. Compared with those noble families, Sun Mingming's background in imperial business is indeed low, but it is better to be rich and not take a shelf.

With the Sun family supplying, she and her aunt can get a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and even so, the Sun family will still be grateful.

As for the third prince, he didn't have much to say.

It is impossible for him to take over the position of unification, he only needs to be a prince who enjoys Qingfu, guarding the great gold mountain of the Sun family, which is enough for him to squander for several lifetimes.

Otherwise, even if he is the prince, the new emperor will not necessarily have any real power in his hands after he succeeds to the throne.

Maybe in the eyes of outsiders, the Sun family is really not a prince, but in Xu Zhixi's opinion, this is just a matter of her aunt's words.

However, there is another big premise for this thing to succeed, that is, whether Sun Mingming can answer their aunts and nephews correctly.

"Miss Xu, this ice yarn is a material that has just emerged this summer, and it is cool and not sticky to the body," Sun Mingming said to Xu Zhixi with a courteous face: "This rose red is the most eye-catching, I think only girls can wear it." ”

The ice yarn was wrapped in plain white cocoon silk, and it was so gorgeous that it was breathtaking.

Xu Zhixi's thick powder face burst into a smile, raised his hand and tapped Sun Mingming's cheeks and said, "Why do you want to be so angry with me, just call me by my name, and if such a girl comes to Miss, I will ignore you." ”

When Sun Mingming heard this, she was naturally overjoyed, Xu Zhixi obviously accepted herself when she said this.

It seems that his diligence has not been in vain these days, and he has been moving people since ancient times, and he cannot be wrong.

Since then, the two have become more intimate, although it is only on the surface, they still have their own hearts and minds, but they are content with Sun Mingming.

I gossiped with Xu Zhixi for a while, but I just talked about which imperial chef's craftsmanship was good and which embroidery girl was good at embroidery.

Sun Mingming doesn't stay with Xu Zhixi for too long every time, for fear that the other party will be disgusted, and this time too.

Before the talk of sex had faded away, she got up and said goodbye, Xu Zhixi didn't stay long, and only asked the palace maid to send Sun Mingming out.

Sun Mingming walked back with her two personal maids, and saw Chen Fu, the eunuch next to the third prince, standing on the side of the road, and saluted with a smile when she saw her.

Sun Mingming glanced at him, and then said to the two maids who followed him: "You two are standing here, I'll go over and say a few words to Gonggong Chen." ”

Then Gonggong Chen walked inside, turned to a big tree, and Sun Mingming followed.

"Grandpa Chen, what is the matter with you coming to me? Is it the third prince who has something to say? Sun Mingming asked.

Even Xu Zhixi didn't know, in fact, Sun Mingming had quietly met with the three princes many times these days, although every time he was just talking about poetry, and there was nothing out of bounds, but Sun Mingming felt that the three princes had different thoughts about themselves.

Otherwise, why did you secretly meet with yourself? No one would think much about it.

Therefore, she deliberately encircled Xu Zhixi, not to let Xu Zhixi connect with the third prince for herself, but to think that if this matter was made public one day, the Xu family would not stop it.

Gonggong Chen is only about thirty years old, with a short figure and a round face, and he looks the most honest and kind.

He is the most powerful person around the third prince, and Sun Mingming usually gives him a lot of gifts, but he doesn't accept them every time.

This also made Sun Mingming look up to him even more.

"Miss Sun, the old slave knows that you have gone to Ning Xiang Zhai, so I am waiting for you here." Gonggong Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Actually, it's not the third prince who asked me to come, it's the old slave who makes his own decisions, and there are some things I want to discuss with Miss Sun." ”

"Grandpa Chen has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Sun Mingming hurriedly said, Chen Gonggong's words not only did not make her angry, but made her feel that he valued himself very much and did not treat himself as an outsider.

"The slave is bold, the third prince is very worried these days. Because it is the birthday of the concubine Niangniang, the three princes have been favored by the concubine for many years, so they are naturally more filial than others. Don't hide it from Miss Sun, the third prince is really shy. Chen Gonggong said.

Sun Mingming understood when she heard this, interrupted Gonggong Chen's words and said directly: "If Gonggong Chen has anything to say, just say it!" What kind of gift does the third prince want to give to the concubine? I may not have one here that suits his heart, but when I entered the palace, I brought a lot of silver tickets, and if the third prince needs to take the money out to buy it, he can just go out and buy it. ”

"Oh, Miss Sun is really a cool person, and she doesn't need to say more about the old slave." Gonggong Chen said gratefully: "The third prince doesn't know about this matter, and everything is handled by the old slave." A few days ago, I took a fancy to a statue of Guanyin in a jewelry shop in the capital, and the price was 30,000 taels of silver. ”

"It's only 30,000 taels of silver, I can still take it out, and my father-in-law will go there after dark, and I'll give it to you." Sun Mingming agreed.

"Hey, Miss Sun, I'm really grateful, slave, I must say a lot of good things about you in front of the third prince." Gonggong Chen said as he gestured.

"Grandpa Chen doesn't have to be like this, let's come to Japan for a long time." Sun Mingming smiled generously and turned around.

It's just some silver, not to mention that it's used on the three princes, Sun Mingming knows that the three princes already have a good impression of him, as long as he envelops the people around him, will he still be worried about his purpose?

"I thought I was out of reach, but as long as I did my best, I could slowly grasp it, and it seems that my luck is not bad." Sun Mingming smiled very proudly and thought silently in her heart.

"By the way, Miss Sun, there are several compradors in the palace who are going to be replaced recently, and I can talk to the steward of the Internal Affairs Office, so it is better to hand over these cases to Ling Zun." Gonggong Chen then caught up and said to Sun Mingming.

"Thank you father-in-law for that." Sun Mingming smiled and gave a salute.

I think this Chen Gonggong is really a clever person.
