This year's chrysanthemums seem to bloom exceptionally early, coupled with the careful cultivation of the palace gardener, it is only the weather of August, and the walkway flower beds around the imperial garden are already filled with various varieties of chrysanthemums.

The chrysanthemums are bright and fragrant, lively as if they have nothing to do with this world, they are not very liked by Xu Shu, and they do not have the interest of appreciating them, they walked with Mama Yuan all the way, but they were thinking about the purpose of the queen letting her come here, she did not simply think that the queen really just let her come to enjoy the flowers, and the flowers were an excuse, and it was true that she had something else to do in the name of appreciating the flowers.

The palace maids I met along the way saw Yuan Mama and her party, and they all stood respectfully on the side of the road and bowed their heads to avoid it, not even daring to look up, even if the concubines with low rank saw it, they hurriedly avoided it, for fear of colliding with Xu Shu.

Mama Yuan smiled and said to Xu Shu, "Miss Nine, have you seen it?" It was the person who hurriedly retreated at the Yongdao crossing! ”

Xu Shu nodded, just now at the Yongdao intersection in front of the oblique front, there was a woman who looked like a concubine who had just emerged and hurriedly retreated.

"That's Xie Cairen, who was newly crowned by the emperor a few days ago, and was personally selected by the Empress Dowager, except for Li Meiren this month, Xie Cairen is the most favored by the emperor!"

A palace concubine who is receiving the favor of the saint and does not belong to the queen's faction, seeing that the queen's family is so evasive, it can be seen that she is afraid of the queen's power, for fear that she will offend herself, or that she will be embarrassed by her pampering, so she avoids choosing to open it.

"Miss Nine, you are the queen's favorite niece, and now the queen's concubine is strong, and everyone in the palace should have special respect for Miss Nine, Miss Nine, you have to know that your status and treatment today depend on the queen's mother! The same is in the palace, when you come to the Yi Palace, you can only be a person who can't see the light, but in the Kunning Palace, you are the respected Miss Zheng Jiu! ”

"So I'm especially grateful to the Queen! Thank you for everything the Queen Mother has given me! Xu Shu replied with a sincere face.

"The more stable the queen's position in the palace, the higher your treatment will be, Miss Nine!"

How can the queen's position in the palace be more secure?

"What Mama said is that the Zheng family and the queen mother are one, and I still know the truth that one is prosperous and one is lost!"

Mama Yuan just wanted to tell Xu Shu that all the preferential treatment Xu Shu received in the palace today was because of the queen, and if Xu Shu wanted to enjoy such preferential treatment forever, she had to help the queen stabilize her position.

Mama Yuan said with a smile, "Miss Nine is a smart person, since she came out with the slave, she should be ready in her heart!" ”

Xu Shu was noncommittal, she already knew it with Mama Yuan, not to mention that she didn't have a choice, right? Since there is no choice, moving forward is the only thing she can do, "Please tell us where we are going?" ”

Mama Yuan pointed forward, "The chrysanthemums there are the most beautiful, every day at this time, the palace people of Cining Palace will go there to pick fresh chrysanthemums and vases, these days the eldest prince in order to show filial piety, the eldest prince personally went to cut the flower branches and went back!" ”

It turned out to be for the eldest prince...... Xu Shu understood.

On that day, she disappeared inexplicably from the Yi Palace, the eldest prince was confused but did not dare to publicize, coupled with the fire in the Yi Palace, the eldest prince was forced to live in Cining Palace, under the eyes of the Empress Dowager, the eldest prince did not dare to gamble in front of the Empress Dowager even if he had itchy hands, so much time has passed, the eldest prince must have been about to go crazy with patience, but he saw her at this time...... What will the great prince, who has never won all his luck, do?

The eldest prince has seen her take off the eye-covered cloth belt, goodbye to the eldest prince, he will definitely be able to recognize himself, but now he has become the queen's niece, and the eldest prince has a lot of dissatisfaction with the queen because the queen is pregnant again, if the eldest prince knows that the queen took him away, what will the eldest prince do if he is addicted to gambling?

The queen asked Mama Yuan to accompany Xu Shu because everyone in the palace knew that Mama Yuan was the queen's confidant, and when the eldest prince saw Mama Yuan, he would inevitably think that the queen had taken Xu Shu away from the Yi Palace......

Xu Shu is the last straw that the queen is preparing to crush the reason of the eldest prince......

She has to do her best to do her part...... Xu Shu smiled softly, "I've been in the palace so many times, and I haven't asked the eldest prince yet, why don't you lead the way and take me to meet the eldest prince?" ”

Smart people can understand it at a glance, it is not unreasonable for the queen to value Miss Nine, Mama Yuan bowed down with satisfaction, "Miss Nine, please!" ”

Xu Shu arrived at the place pointed by Mama Yuan, pretending to be leisurely and admiring the flowers, waiting for the arrival of the eldest prince.

Sure enough, not long after a group of people surrounded the eldest prince over, although it was said that the eldest prince personally selected the chrysanthemums for the queen mother in order to fulfill his filial piety, but it was the little palace maid who carried the flower basket, the little eunuch who held the flower branch scissors, and the gardener who selected the right flower branch, and the prince was only responsible for picking up the scissors and cutting a pair of scissors in the place designated by the gardener, so that he personally cut the flower branch for the queen mother to do his filial piety.

After the eldest prince was surrounded by people in a gorgeous brocade dress, he saw Xu Shu standing next to the flowers at first glance, and he thought it was the emperor's concubine, so he didn't pay attention to it, but at the second glance, he found that the woman was an unmarried woman's bun, so he raised his chin and asked, "Who is that person?" ”

Today, a banquet was held in the palace, and many young women from noble families entered the palace, and the eldest prince remembered that the empress dowager said that today she would choose one of the noble ladies who came to the banquet to be the eldest princess for him, and she was interested.

Looking Xu Shu's back up and down, seeing that the body was slender, the breeze was blowing, and there was a bit of a stumbling fairy posture, and the eldest prince smacked his lips.

The little eunuch on the side didn't recognize Xu Shu, but after glancing at Mama Yuan next to her, combined with the recent situation in the palace, she came to a conclusion, "That should be Miss Zheng Jiu, who has been ordered by the emperor and often enters the palace to accompany the queen to raise a baby. ”

Thinking that since the queen was pregnant, he has been despised by all sides, and the people in the palace have not treated him as close as before, and he has even been reprimanded by the emperor for this, if the queen really gives birth to a prince, I am afraid that there will be no place for him in this palace...... Thinking of this, the eldest prince felt very angry in his heart, and he was also full of disgust for the person in front of him.

"Humph! What a disappointment! The eldest prince snorted.
