Mama Yuan nodded, "Naturally, there have always been many people who have good friends with the Zheng family, and there are also those who were invited to the palace today!" ”

"Then please ask Mama to help deliver a message to these ladies and ladies!"

"What does Miss Nine want to deliver?"

Xu Shu whispered a few words to Mama Yuan, and Mama Yuan nodded again and again, "The slave has written it down!" ”

"Mama will do this herself! As soon as possible, time is running out! ”

"Yes!" Mama Yuan went immediately.

Xu Shu glanced at the pot of chrysanthemums on the ground and ordered, "Take the flowers, let's go back!" ”

When she returned to Kunning Palace, the old lady had already returned, and was drinking tea with the queen, Xu Shu entered the door and the queen looked at her inquiringly, Xu Shu nodded, and asked the two of them in turn, "Mama Yuan saw a few familiar ladies go to say hello, and the courtiers came back first!" ”

"Sit down and serve tea!" The queen commanded with a smile, and seemed to be in a good mood.

The old lady said with a smile, "Niangniang's complexion is ruddy, it can be seen that Niangniang's pregnancy is very stable!" ”

The queen touched her belly and smiled softly.

The old lady said again, "Niangniang will definitely be able to give birth to a prince this time!" ”

"I borrowed my mother's good words!"

At this time, Xu Shu interjected, "The courtiers met the eldest prince in the imperial garden, and the eldest prince rewarded the courtiers with a pot of ink chrysanthemums!" ”

"Leave it to the palace maid to take care of it first, and then take it back when you go back!" The queen commanded lightly.

The old lady was curious, "Why did the eldest prince reward you with flowers?" ”

"It's just that I met the eldest prince in the Imperial Garden!" Xu Shu explained.

The old lady couldn't help but think about it, "The queen mother wants to take advantage of today's palace banquet to choose a concubine for the eldest prince, and the eldest prince has taken a fancy to ......" The old lady glanced at Xu Shu meaningfully.

Xu Shu looked confused, the pot of flowers was just picked by the eldest prince in order to support Mama Yuan, and it didn't have any special meaning, Xu Shu also took the initiative to explain this matter to the queen in order to avoid possible trouble, and there was no other special meaning.

But the old lady said so, and the queen had to think about it more, the eldest prince has always followed the instructions of the empress dowager, and the eldest prince suddenly showed favor to Xu Shu, maybe it was the meaning of the empress dowager, what is the empress dowager going to do?

The Empress Dowager has always been wary of her, especially after her first pregnancy, the Empress Dowager is increasingly wary of her, especially this time she is pregnant, and it is rumored in the palace that she is pregnant with a prince, and the Empress Dowager is angry and happy when she looks happy and sad.

"Could it be that the Empress Dowager wants to choose Sister Yi to be the eldest princess?" The old lady suddenly exclaimed.

The queen shook her head, "If Sister Yi becomes the eldest princess, no matter whether the palace can give birth to a prince or not, the Zheng family is the biggest winner, and the empress dowager will not do such a thing to cheapen the Zheng family for nothing!" ”

"That's just as well!" The old lady nodded approvingly, "But the eldest prince is ......"

Xu Shuchong shook her head at the queen, and the queen said, "The eldest prince has been acting without rules for a day or two, maybe it's just that my mother thinks too much!" ”

"It's naturally good to think too much, if our Zheng family is implicated with the eldest prince, it's not a good thing!"

At this time, if the Zheng family is involved in the relationship with the eldest prince, anyone will think that something has happened to the queen, perhaps because the queen is worried that she will not be able to give birth to the prince, so she is in a hurry to win over the eldest prince? Who knows how ugly the words will come out, and what is not is naturally good.

After drinking tea for a while, Mama Yuan came back, nodded at Xu Shu first, and then asked the queen to say goodbye, "The slave maid met Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Liu, who had come to greet the lady before, in the imperial garden, and the slave maid went to say a few words to the two ladies!" Now that the two ladies have gone to the palace for the banquet, the old lady and the ninth lady can also move! ”

"Then let's go!" The old lady got up to say goodbye to the queen, and took Xu Shu to the palace where the moon viewing banquet was held today.

Walking all the way, I heard someone talking about the eldest prince.

"Have you heard? The Empress Dowager wants to take advantage of this palace banquet to determine the candidate for the eldest princess? ”

"Which girl did the Queen Mother fall in love with?"

"I don't know, but in the eyes of the Queen Mother, the status of the people I fancy must not be too low!"

"But now that the queen is pregnant again, the eldest prince's current situation is very embarrassing, even if the queen mother has a crush on a young lady, others may not be willing? Now a powerful family, who would be willing to marry the eldest prince! ”

"What if you don't want to? When the time comes, as soon as the emperor opens his mouth to give marriage, he will have to happily agree if he doesn't want to! ”

"But will the emperor open his mouth to marry at will? The people who can be favored by the Empress Dowager are all important ministers in the court, why should the emperor take care of the opinions of his courtiers? ”

"That's right! If the emperor forcibly grants marriage, it chills the hearts of the courtiers, isn't it bad for the court and the country? ”

"But then again, if the emperor really gives marriage, I don't know which girl will be favored by the queen mother!"

"God forbid, but don't be my girl! Seeing that once the queen mother gives birth to the prince, the eldest prince will have no hope, but she can't push my girl into the fire pit! ”

"Look at what you said, why did you push your house into the fire pit? Even if the queen mother gives birth to a prince, the eldest prince is still a prince, even if the concubine is not very good, no matter how bad the eldest prince is, she can be crowned a county king, and she will not be wronged by your girl as a county princess! ”

"You know what! If the queen mother really gave birth to a prince, but she was still an infant baby, but the eldest prince was almost an adult, and when the prince born to the queen mother grew up, the eldest prince was in the prime of life at that time, and the emperor was already late at that time, do you think the queen will keep the threat of the eldest prince? ”

"You mean the queen will ......"

"Shhhh Be quiet! Not to mention that the queen will be at home, just put it in the homes of ordinary people, and when the sister-in-law is young, will the mother-in-law rest assured that the adult concubine will be left at home? Naturally, you have to find ways to squeeze it out in order to feel at ease! ”

"In this way, I have to hide from the eldest prince and the empress dowager today! If you are favored by the Queen Mother, it will be troublesome! ”

"So, today I will dress my girl up quietly, and she is not even allowed to wear a hairpin!"

"Or do you have a vision......

……

The old lady glanced at Xu Shu, saw that Xu Shu was dressed elegantly, and then looked at Xu Shu's head, staring at the step and frowning, Xu Shu hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled out the two begonia hairpins, leaving only two strings of beaded flowers, so as not to look bare on his head, the old lady looked at it and was finally satisfied, and did not forget to advise, "Don't talk nonsense everywhere what you just heard!" ”

"Yes!" Xu Shu nodded, the similar words I heard along the way were endless, it seemed that Mama Yuan had added enough firewood.
