Chapter 293: At this time
"Grandmother understands the righteousness the most, and I don't think my grandmother will blame me."
If the entire Xuanguo Mansion wants to say who is the smartest is this old lady, she has calculated everything.
When they entered the Zhuangzi, they were not hindered too much.
And when she saw Linlang, it seemed to be too smooth, as if someone was guiding them in the dark.
From that time on, Lu Qingrong knew that Lao Taijun wanted to hand over Linlang to her for disposal, and now she was doing all this in line with Lao Taijun's intentions.
At this moment, a little maid walked in with an invitation in her hand.
"Young lady, this is an invitation sent by Prime Minister Li's family, Miss Li has prepared a chrysanthemum banquet, and wants to invite the ladies and ladies in Beijing to watch the chrysanthemums."
"What did Madame say?"
"Madame said to let you call the shots, if you want to go, then go, if you don't want to go, Madame will go back to the Li family."
Lu Qingrong weighed the hot invitation.
This chrysanthemum feast is only afraid that it is a Hongmen feast.
"Miss, this Miss Li has always been unhappy with you, but holding a banquet at this time, could it be some plan? I don't think I'd better go. ”
Mrs. Chen lowered her voice.
"How can you not go? If I don't go, maybe Li Xuewei will think of other tricks to deal with me, and people will even send invitations to the door, if I don't go, maybe there will be some kind of moth, so I just go and see. ”
The soldiers will block, and the water will cover it.
I just took this opportunity to go to Li's house to have a look, maybe I could find out about Li Chengxuan.
……
"Grandpa, you taste, this is my new wine, how does it taste?"
"You girl, you've been so busy lately, and you still have time to mix new wine for me, this wine must be good."
Emperor Xue tasted it, and couldn't help but smack, "The taste is mellow, not bad." ”
"Grandpa, let's eat some side dishes, these side dishes are made by me with flowers, they are delicious, especially this soup, I have been boiling for several hours."
"Looks like my old man is blessed today."
Emperor Xue tasted it, and after each taste, he would nod his head.
The side dishes were almost eaten, and the wine was almost drunk, and Emperor Xue looked at Lu Qingrong with satisfaction.
"Tell me, do you girl have something to ask my old man?"
"Grandpa, I'm here to honor you, why are you so speculative about me?"
Emperor Xue smiled and nodded, "Filial piety? On weekdays, you are indeed filial piety and will send me anything delicious, but these days you are busy with the shop, as well as the affairs of the Wang family, just like me, an old man, have forgotten. ”
"Good to come to the door at this time, nothing to do, either treachery or theft, you little trick, my old man can see it at a glance, don't fool me, girl, tell me what's going on?"
Lu Qingrong smiled, but he didn't hide it.
Emperor Xue suddenly felt a little uneasy, he usually felt that this girl smiled very sweetly and lovely, but after a long time of contact, every time Lu Qingrong smiled, he had a bad premonition, and this time the premonition was a little strong.
"Grandpa, who do you think the emperor wants to be the future prince?"
"Ahem."
Emperor Xue coughed suddenly.
He said that there was nothing good, and this question was asked about death.
This is discussing the matter of the crown prince in private, if the emperor knows, I am afraid that he will not spare this girl.
It's a terrible thing!
"Girl, no matter who will be the future prince, this is only the emperor can decide, how can we as courtiers discuss this in private, don't mention these things again in the future."
Lu Qingrong didn't care.
Now there are not a few people who are discussing who will be the prince, and there are not many of her.
Besides, the main purpose of her coming here today is to know the emperor's thoughts.
"Grandpa, there are just two of us here, there is absolutely no one else, you are the emperor's master, the emperor has trusted you for so many years, you must know the emperor's thoughts, who is this emperor?"
"Girl, what's going on with you today? I used to look at you very steadily, why do you always ask these nonsensical words today, if some people know, the entire Xuanguo Mansion will not be able to protect you. ”
It seems that you can't ask who the emperor belongs to as the prince?
Lu Qingrong was not discouraged, and continued to ask: "Grandpa, you don't say who the emperor has a crush on, so can you tell me what kind of existence the Li family is for the emperor?" ”
Compared to the first question, this second question is quite answerable and a little easier to accept.
Emperor Xue's face softened.
Lu Qingrong was secretly proud, at first he asked questions that were impossible to answer, and then asked more difficult questions, compared to the two, the questions behind this are easy to answer, isn't it?
Lu Qingrong flattered, poured wine for a while, and added vegetables to Emperor Xue for a while.
Emperor Xue's face softened even if he was cold.
"You girl! I really can't help you, who made my old man greedy and liked to eat what you made? Okay, I'll tell you that the Li family has merit to the emperor, but it has also happened. ”
There are merits and deeds.
Lu Qingrong pondered it carefully, and his face became serious.
Emperor Xue smiled at this time.
"Aren't you a clever girl? Tell me, why does the emperor think that the Li family has merit and fault? ”
This little problem didn't bother her.
Lu Qingrong smiled knowingly, "It is said that when the emperor was not the emperor back then, he was just an unpopular prince, and there were many people who were more capable of sitting on the throne than him, but in the end, the throne fell on him." ”
"This must be indispensable to Prime Minister Li Cheng's contributions, plus the queen is Prime Minister Li Cheng's daughter, and Prime Minister Li is the emperor's father-in-law, this relationship is naturally extraordinary, so he is meritorious."
Emperor Xue nodded, "Well, where do you start?" ”
"With the deepening of Prime Minister Li Cheng's power in the court, slowly some people began to conspire with him, which is the so-called party for personal gain, the last thing the emperor wants to see is that the courtiers form a party for personal gain, and it also involves the struggle for the throne."
"Although the prince's illness has improved now, after all, his body and bones have long been destroyed, even if there is an improvement, I am afraid that he will not be able to endure it for a few years, Prime Minister Li Cheng saw that there was no hope on the prince's side, so he looked at the third prince."
"This can be said to have touched the emperor's scales, although the emperor has not disposed of Prime Minister Li now, most of it is due to the credit of the queen and the previous Prime Minister Li Cheng, but if Prime Minister Li continues to be so stubborn, the emperor will definitely not be soft on him, so he is at fault."
