Chapter 520: Closing the Deal

"Queen Mother, although the five princes are notoriously mediocre in the court, I already know that the mediocrity of the five princes is just a strategy made by you in order to protect him and let him grow up in peace."

"Now that the five princes have grown up and have enough ability, as long as they slowly show their abilities in the court, I believe they will also become a very powerful candidate for the throne."

"How do you know that this palace is willing to let the five princes introduce this right and wrong, that is this palace, I just want him to be an idle prince with peace of mind, what should you do?"

The queen looked at Lu Yan with a playful expression, as if she was deliberately making things difficult for him.

Lu Yan also looked calm, as if he had already guessed that the queen mother would say this, and continued: "Now in the court, there are two favorable candidates for the throne, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is delicate and domineering, not a person who can accommodate his brother, and the second prince is cunning, he can do anything for the sake of sanitation, and he is not a Ming Jun. ”

"What the queen said, no matter which of the two of them ascends the throne, I'm afraid that if the five princes want to be at ease, it is not so easy to be an idle prince."

"What's more, if you really don't care about the world and don't want to pay attention to this, then you won't secretly help the second prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to compete, Queen Mother, what the grass people said, do you think it's right?"

The queen mother nodded, her face was still the same expression, but she secretly restrained a little, looked at Lu Yanshen and became a little more serious, and said: "It is worthy of being the most powerful assistant by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back then, this matter has made you think about it thoroughly, since the thoughts of this palace have been guessed by you, then you might as well say it directly, if it is beneficial to this palace, this palace will naturally agree to come down and help." ”

"I will definitely not disappoint you, the queen mother."

The fish has taken the bait!

The corners of Lu Yan's mouth slightly hooked up a smile, the amplitude was not large, and only Si Si beside him could see it.

"Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a delicate and domineering temperament, his talent and ability are also obvious to all, and if His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince wants to compete for that position, he still has to put some effort into it."

"Hasn't the emperor had a few troubles recently, and he hasn't handed them over to any prince to solve? The five princes can take care of all these things, make an achievement, win the emperor's own eyes, and let the ministers of the court and the central government know that the five princes are not such mediocre people, but also have a capable person. ”

"At that time, you will be slowly down-to-earth to do exaggerated things, remember not to go too far, and it will cause everyone to be jealous."

When Lu Yan said this, he took out a stack of paper from his sleeve and said: "Although the emperor's troubles about those things are tricky, it is not that there is no solution, the grass people have already thought about it, and it is written here, please take a look at the queen." ”

"Go, bring it in."

The queen mother glanced sideways slightly, and the big palace maid beside her understood, walked to Lu Yan in front of her, took the papers, took them back and handed them to the queen mother.

Although there is a rule that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but as a queen, she still understands more or less about the affairs of the previous dynasty, although she doesn't know what it means, but she has more or less heard some rumors about what the emperor is worried about.

After the queen mother took the papers, she glanced at them casually, her face suddenly became serious, and she looked at the things in her hand seriously. Beauty Nest

"Wonderful! Wonderful. ”

After the queen mother saw the things in her hand, she praised repeatedly: "Lu Yan is really a talented person, this method can be thought of by you, wouldn't it be too difficult for you to be an ordinary person." ”

"How can you say that it is difficult? It's not hard at all. Lu Yan smiled, not proud, but said: "The grass people have already entered the palace to accompany the prince when they were young, and they have seen a lot of things in the officialdom, and now they feel that it is good to open shops in various places at home, although life is not as rich as before, but it is not bad, leisurely, and happy." ”

"Since you have no intention of becoming an official in the court, then forget it."

The queen mother sorted out the stack of paper in her hand, handed it to the palace maid beside her, put it away, and then turned her head to Lu Yan and said: "I have to say, these suggestions you put forward are still very exciting, and the content written on the paper is also very good, you have succeeded, the palace has agreed to cooperate with you, what do you want next?" As long as it is not too much and is not detected by the emperor, the palace will do its best to help you within the scope of its ability, and of course, you must also give more advice to the five princes. ”

"It's nature." Lu Yan smiled lightly and said, "Right now, the grass people have a very important matter, and I want the queen mother to help solve it!" ”

"Oh? Let's talk about something! ”

"The queen mother should know Cheng Ruiyun, I heard that the queen mother still admires him."

The queen mother nodded when she heard this, and said, "That's right, there is such a thing. ”

"Cheng Ruiyun has coveted my wife for a long time, and yesterday he was clamoring to come to you to ask for a favor to marry him and my wife, I don't know if the queen knows about it."

"Of course I know about it." The queen mother nodded, "But I have already rejected him in this matter before, and I understood it long ago when your wife entered the palace last time, how could it be possible to marry your wife and Cheng Ruiyun?" ”

"However, Cheng Ruiyun's mind still hasn't been put down!"

Lu Yan told the queen that Cheng Ruiyun planned to ask for grace from the queen in front of the public at the banquet in the next two days, and the queen was furious.

"How can this be true? He dared to rely on my affection for him so much. ”

As soon as the words fell, the queen mother seemed to realize that what she said was inappropriate, shut up, was silent for a while, and then said: "Don't worry, this palace will let people take care of him and won't let him come out to make trouble, as for the marriage, this palace can give you a promise, it will never appear, you can rest assured." ”

"With the words of the queen's mother, the grass people will be relieved."

Lu Yan pretended to breathe a sigh of relief and let out a long sigh of relief, "In this case, the deal between the grass people and the queen mother has been reached, and the next plan, the grass people will hand over the letter to the queen mother in the form of flying pigeons, please rest assured." ”

"Make a deal with me, you will definitely not suffer a loss, Queen Mother."
