Chu Mengxi raised his hand slightly and stroked his hair, his face was full of gentleness and deference, and his lips opened lightly: "Let's go." ”

"Yes, Miss," the scholar said respectfully. Jinxi didn't reply to the letter, and Shulan couldn't get Chu Mengxi's heart. This time, Shuxiang accompanied Chu Mengxi to the old lady's courtyard for dinner.

At this time, the old lady's courtyard was harmonious.

"Miss arrives~"

"Well, Xi'er girl has arrived, quick, let her in." Old Madam Zhen said with a smile.

"Yes"

After coming over for a while, Chu Mengxi walked in slowly, with a smile at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, "Meet grandmother, mother, Mrs. Li, Miss Su." Ying Ying bowed down, bowing slightly.

Mrs. Li smiled and helped Chu Mengxi up and said, "Miss Chu is really dignified and generous, and she is a rare beauty and talent, I like it very much." Han'er has to learn more from Miss Chu. ”

Su Miaohan smiled and got up and walked in front of Chu Mengxi, Ying Ying bowed: "Miaohan has seen Miss Chu, and when she saw the state banquet, Miaohan yearned for it in her heart, and I hope that Miss Chu will not give up and teach more." ”

"Don't dare to be, Miss Su is both talented and beautiful, and it is my honor to be able to make friends with Miss Su." Chu Mengxi said softly.

"Miaohan is still young, but she is so beautiful, she will definitely not be in the pool in the future." Old Madam Zhen said praisefully.

Lunch was carried out in such a harmonious atmosphere. After lunch, the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Mrs. Li took Su Miaohan to say goodbye and leave, accompanied by Su.

Old Madam Zhen sighed slightly, beckoned to Chu Mengxi, Chu Mengxi slowly stepped forward and said, "Grandmother, but you are tired?" The granddaughter saw that her grandmother didn't use much today, so she ordered the kitchen to prepare chestnut cakes, and grandmother tasted it? ”

Old Madam Zhen loosened her eyebrows a little when she heard this, and took Chu Mengxi's hand and said, "Could it be that Xi'er has a heart, hey, the world is unpredictable......"

"Grandmother is not happy?" Chu Mengxi was slightly stunned, could it be that his position as the fifth princess would not be guaranteed?

"Originally, I was thinking about the Second Highness's side, I'm afraid it was Shang'er and Linxuan's. But I don't want to, now Lin Xuan promised Yun Xuan. The position of the side concubine was vacated in vain. It's a pity......" Old Madam Zhen shook her head gently, Her Royal Highness has a noble character, has the talent to govern the country, and has the identity of a descendant. On it is His Royal Highness, but His Royal Highness is a foreign race, and it can be said that he has both the elder and the elder. In this case, the chances of being made a crown prince are extremely high.

Once Chu Mengxi promised to pass with a side concubine, when the time comes, once His Royal Highness becomes the new king, the position of the noble concubine will not be a problem. But now His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness has already decided to make Chu Mengxi the concubine. But the five princes, I'm afraid there will never be a possibility of ascending to the throne. Hey, this step is really a bit wrongful.

Although Chu Mengxi was a little dissatisfied and reluctant in his heart, it seemed that he really couldn't get rid of the fifth prince from the current situation. But I also have to say that the five princes are not necessarily a bad choice. Not to mention whether the Second Highness can ascend to the throne, relying on the attitude of the Fifth Highness towards him, he can also ensure his status in the palace.

Chu Mengxi chuckled, took a piece of chestnut cake and handed it to Mrs. Zhen's lips and said, "My granddaughter is stupid, but I don't know what to analyze, and I want to ask my grandmother for advice." ”

Old Madam Zhen said softly, "You can tell me and listen to it." ”

Chu Mengxi smiled slightly and said: "The talents and martial arts of the Second Highness are all superior, and the support of the queen, the Xinguo Mansion, and our government is good, but the Third Highness is in the capital all the year round, and I heard that even the emperor's forbidden army has the right to move." There is the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion behind him, and he has close contacts with Xue Taifu and General Xie's Mansion, from the current point of view, His Royal Highness is probably quite good in personal relations with His Royal Highness Liao. The emperor has not yet appointed a crown prince, and I am afraid that there is no decision between the two. ”

Old Madam Zhen nodded, she originally knew that this granddaughter was very intelligent, and her current analysis was consistent with her and her daughter-in-law's analysis. "You continue"

"Yes, grandmother, whoever ascends the throne, I am afraid that there will be a new purge. But the Fifth Highness is different, he has no chance of the throne. Chu Mengxi said with a smile.

"This is where my grandmother is unwilling, but it's a pity that our Xi'er ......"

"Grandmother, I don't think it's a pity, for our Qingguo Mansion, the most important thing is not the grace of support, but peace and harmony. The Qingguo Mansion has always been gracious to the emperor, and now if there is a move to promote and win over the prince, it is easy to arouse the emperor's suspicion. Moreover, the blossoming flowers may also be high. Chu Mengxi said in a deep voice.

"Well, what Xi'er said makes sense." Old Madam Zhen said softly, she and the queen had been thinking about marrying Lin Xuan to the second highness, but even if she was not the queen, she was also a concubine.

But I didn't want the Xie family to directly agree to the marriage of the eldest princess. I'm afraid that the Shinkoku Mansion is also worried about this.

Several major families are prosperous, and the emperor is benevolent and virtuous, and he has never treated him harshly.

But the emperor has no heart to establish a prince so far, is there any other situation among them......

Or is the emperor testing all the families? The Sacred Heart is unfathomable......

"So Xi'er thinks that the Fifth Highness is a good choice. Li Zhaoyi's maiden family is a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, and she will definitely not be able to break this in the future. When the new emperor boarded the plane, he would definitely not do anything to His Royal Highness, otherwise it might cause damage to commerce, and once commerce was damaged, the treasury tax revenue would inevitably be greatly affected, which was not what the emperor wanted to see. Chu Mengxi saw that Old Madam Zhen's eyes were shining with admiration, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

"This is a little humble opinion of my granddaughter, and if there is something missing, please ask my grandmother for advice."

"Well, well, I discussed it with your mother, but I didn't see it in the long term. Xi'er was very thoughtful. Old Madam Zhen praised.

"Grandmother praised it falsely, the granddaughter's thoughts are still shallow, the eldest brother and the second brother in our house are all very good, and it is unknown to pay homage to the prime minister in the future, and the granddaughter does not dare to take risks." Chu Mengxi smiled respectfully.

Old Madam Zhen was indescribably happy when she heard this, these two grandchildren were the hope of his Qingguo Mansion.

Hearing Chu Mengxi say this, Old Madam Zhen looked at her twice and said with a smile, "Xi'er has an idea, and grandmother is relieved." ”

"Grandmother, there's one more thing, I don't know ......"

"What?"

"Since the fourth sister returned home, she always seems to be restless, but the fourth sister seems to have misunderstood me, so I ......," Chu Mengxi said with a slight grievance.

"Your fourth sister is uneasy, don't worry about her, when your marriage with the Fifth Highness is decided, you will send her to marry." Old Madam Zhen waved her hand and said.

This Chu Mengyao really couldn't get on the stage, and went back to the house in a hurry, but she didn't even learn to be obedient, and when she learned to sneak out of the house, she was too lazy to discipline, and when Xi'er's marriage was decided, it was also worry-free to find an official eunuch to marry her.

"Grandmother ......" heard about the marriage, and Chu Mengxi was slightly embarrassed. I saw Mrs. Zhen smile and said, "In the past few days, His Royal Highness Fifth has been afraid that you will be annoyed, so he has sent me a lot of ginseng and brocade. Thank you, Your Highness, for me. ”

"Yes, Xi'er wrote it down." Chu Mengxi returned respectfully.

"Well, okay, you can go back and rest too, I'm tired too." Old Madam Zhen said.

Chu Mengxi knew that Old Madam Zhen had the habit of taking a nap, nodded and got up to leave.

Yingge personally sent Chu Mengxi out of the courtyard.

Gaining face in front of the old lady and the eldest lady, the identity of the heir, and the favor of the Fifth Highness made Chu Mengxi's position in the Qingguo Mansion stable. In comparison, Chu Mengyao was not so lucky. Looking at the meaning of Mrs. Zhen, I am afraid that she only intends to match her with a petty official, no matter how good it is, she is also a concubine of the family.

In the future, I will be different from her. Chu Mengxi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his mood was a little better.

"Chu Mengxi!" Chu Mengyao looked at Chu Mengxi from a distance, and her eyes were like poison, "Third sister can go home?" ”

"Miss Huisi, I haven't returned home yet." Xiangdie returned softly, I don't know what happened, as soon as the fourth lady returned home, she sold Xiangling to the hook fence note, and her temper has become a lot bigger in recent days, and every time she gets along with the fourth lady, she feels scared.

"Well, go, redeem Xiangling." Chu Mengyao said coldly, took out a purse from her sleeve and threw it in Xiangdie's hand. The eyes are full of malice, and if I have been in such a place, I don't believe that Brother Yin can still see it. I'm going to redeem you little slut now, and see what tricks you can come up with for me!"

"Fourth Miss?" Xiangdie was stunned, what is Miss Fourth going to do?

"Don't go yet!" Chu Mengxi's eyes widened and said dissatisfiedly.

"Yes, Fourth Miss, the slave will go." Xiangdie hurriedly replied, turned around and went to the east side.

Chu Mengyao pursed her lips and turned back to Jingxin Garden. Closed the door heavily, and a hint of sweetness appeared in the eyes of the letter in his hand, Brother Yin......

-Palace-

"Fifth Highness, the Jinxi girl next to Miss Chu has sent a letter."

Shangguan Jinmo heard that the worries of the past few days came to naught, and said happily: "Present the letter." ”

"Yes, Your Highness"

Jinmo opened the letter and saw that the handsome hairpin flower told the sorrow of a few days, and the smile between his eyebrows deepened.

"Fifth Highness, can this prepared colorful cloud brocade still be sent to Miss Chu?"

"Put it for the time being, and when Mengxi has time, the palace will send it in person." Shangguan Jinmo said with a smile.

Shangguan Jinmo didn't know that because of the state banquet, his and his arrogant mother's every move had long been under the surveillance of the Heavenly Scar.

"Master, during this time, the Fifth Highness has been sending gifts to Miss Chu, and today Miss Chu replied, looking at the appearance of the Fifth Highness, I estimate that we will meet in the next few days." Leng Xuan said in a deep voice after receiving the secret report.

"Hmm" Jinqi's eyes were cold, and she looked coldly at the various secret reports in front of her. He never raised his head, and during this time, because of his serious illness, many of the affairs in the sky mark were stranded. I'm afraid it's going to be a little harder these days.

"Your Highness the Fifth Highness needs to send more manpower over there?" Leng Qing asked with a frown.

"No, keep watching, and tell if there's any movement." Jinqi said expressionlessly.

Shangguan Jinmo, if he is the person behind the scenes, then this person is thoughtful, different from the appearance. Or is it that Li Zhaoyi and Shangguan Jinmo's usual arrogant appearance is a disguise?

If not, then Shangguan Jinmo and Li Zhaoyi are both clowns in front of the scene, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

"How about the contouring side?"

"Back to the master, there is nothing unusual for the time being, tomorrow I will prepare to send an envoy to Beidi, there are quite a lot of people in the Hanzhang Hall today, our people are afraid of attracting attention, only protect from a distance." Coldly replied.

"How's it going over there? Have everything been delivered? Jinqi asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Well, Princess Yunshang is now accompanying and contouring in the Hanzhang Palace, and the things have not yet been sent." Leng Xuan said in embarrassment.

Shang'er is now in Hanzhang Palace, and the second emperor brother will escort and contour tomorrow, and he will not ......

"Prepare a gift and go to the Hall of Hanzhang." Jinqi got up and said.

Leng Xuan and Leng Qing were stunned, what happened to the master? Want to go to Hanzhang Temple? Is it because Princess Yunshang is here? Well, but it's okay to go out and be lazy.

"You two deal with the Celestial Scars!" Jinqi said coldly.

"Master......" Leng Xuan and Leng Qing glanced at each other, full of bitterness and nowhere to complain......
