"Under the hands of the queen mother, there is really no idle chess."

Yuan Zhi sat in the Qianqing Palace and looked at the excerpt, and suddenly sighed with emotion and put the excerpt in his hand.

Xiao Jizi, who was grinding ink, was stunned, "The emperor hasn't played chess with the Queen Mother for a long time, why did you suddenly think of this?" ”

Motoji raised his head and looked at him helplessly.

Only then did Xiao Jizi realize that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly lowered his head and sharpened the ink with a weak heart.

Motoji sighed.

"At first, I wondered why the queen mother encouraged the second and third brothers to communicate more with the courtiers. Obviously, when the father was there, he was afraid that the princes and courtiers would collude, but now that they are princes and their power is even heavier, how can the queen mother rest assured? ”

"It turned out to be ......"

He glanced at the fold that he had put in his hand, "The queen mother is for this." ”

Kokiko looked at him curiously, and Motoji gave him a look and let him see for himself.

Xiao Kizi opened the fold and took a cursory look, it was a matter of the courtiers of the Imperial History Secret Song to win over the second prince and want to marry their daughter to the second prince.

Yuanzhi has always been indifferent to such trivial matters, but this time it was different, Xiao Kiko saw Su Qing's name from the excerpt.

A high-ranking and powerful minister like Su Qing wants to marry his own daughter to the second prince, and the collusion between this powerful minister and the prince is not a good thing.

Xiao Kiko knew why Yuanzhi was displeased, "This Miss Su was extremely rude when she met outside the palace that time. The emperor doesn't want such a woman, but he can't let her become a princess, won't he lose the face of the royal family? ”

This is also the meaning of Motoji.

He sneered, "Presumably, the queen mother had long expected such a situation, so she encouraged the second brother to associate with the courtiers." It's just that the big fish caught is Lao Su, I don't know if the queen mother expected it? ”

He would rather Su Youyi had expected it, otherwise she would definitely be sad, and Su Qing would not change her life in the end.

Xiao Jizi frowned, "When Old Master Su was sick before, the Queen Mother sent Duofu to Su Mansion several times to comfort the old man in every way. If you know this now, you will be saddened. ”

Motoji thought about it too, and became more and more irritable.

He was struggling with whether to tell Su Youyi about this, and he didn't want Su Youyi to already know about it.

I didn't know it from others, it was the Song brothers.

……

"Queen Mother, the noble concubine has often come to Kunning Palace these days, there must be important matters to discuss, right?"

Su Youyi was reading a book on the couch, and Song Rubai was waiting by the side, peeling the shell of longan for her, and saying a few words from time to time.

Su Youyi said casually: "It's nothing, there are a lot of things to do in the New Year, some accounts are handed over to the eldest princess, and some things are to be handed over to the concubine." What's more, there are family affairs to talk about the second prince, so she naturally comes more. ”

Song Rubai pursed her lips when she heard this, and was silent for a while.

Su Youyi glanced up at him and said with a smile: "You have also read books, and after a while, you should also learn to read the account books." When the eldest princess gets married, I will ask you to help deal with the affairs of the Internal Affairs Office, how do you say? ”

As long as it is power, no matter how big or small, Song Rubai is willing to continue.

His pink lips curled slightly, and he said softly: "Queen Mother, can the princess of the second prince be selected?" ”

"Not yet."

Su Youyi looked at him, "Don't you have any relatives and sisters to recommend?" ”

Song Rubai hurriedly shook his hand, "My father is just a county magistrate, and other relatives or officials in the family are not in a high position, how dare they climb the second prince?" ”

"Oh......"

Su Youyi didn't seem to pay attention to it, and turned her head to look at the book again.

Seeing this, Song Rubai hurriedly said: "Our two brothers have not been in the capital for a long time, not to mention that they are men, and there are not many women from the family who have seen them. Only after staying in Su Mansion for a few days, I saw Miss Su, and the one on the other end was a beauty. Although she is not as beautiful as the Queen Mother, she is also considered a first- and second-class among the nobles in the capital. ”

Su Youyi's face was hidden behind the book, and she couldn't see her emotions for a while.

Song Rubai stared nervously, lest she be displeased.

At the back of the book, Su Youyi curled the corners of her lips slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.

Then she quickly calmed down her smile, only made a casual look, and asked him, "Yes, that Miss Su was indeed beautiful." Do you think she can be a princess? ”

Finally asked the question.

Song Rubai had already prepared a speech in his heart, so he waited for Su Youyi to ask, and said busily at the moment: "If you talk about appearance, you are naturally worthy of being a princess." But I think the most important thing is not this, but the benefit of the Queen Mother. ”

"Oh?"

Song Rubai said slowly: "Miss Su is the daughter of the Queen Mother's own family, and the life experience of the second prince is ...... To put it mildly, in the end it is not as close as the other princes and queen mothers in the palace. If the queen mother marries the daughter of her family to him as a princess, she will persuade him in his ear in the future, so that he will not always have respect for the queen mother. ”

Su Youyi was amused in her heart.

It turned out that Song Rubai thought of this reason, she underestimated her Su Youyi too much.

If she cares so much about the powerful, she has already arranged for her own people to ascend to the throne of the queen, where would she care about the mind of an idle prince?

It's no wonder that the two Song Rubai brothers have never seen her true face.

Su Youyi smiled timidly, "You are thoughtful for the mourning family, but that Miss Su has offended the mourning family, and she is not as sensible as other young ladies." So I'd rather choose someone else, and I don't choose this one with a family. ”

She only blamed the reason why she didn't like Miss Su on Miss Su's offense, and didn't mention Su Qing's power at all.

Miss Su once offended Su Youyi, Song Rubai knew about it, if it weren't for this, Su Qing would not have found their brother to please Su Youyi.

He persuaded softly: "Queen Mother, Miss Su is no longer sensible, in the end it is her own person from the Queen Mother's family, which is incomparable to outsiders." For the sake of this, the Queen Mother shouldn't care about her offense, right? ”

After that, looking at Su Youyi's expression, he slowly swam his hand towards her, slid across her clothes, and tried to touch her hand.

Su Youyi frowned, and suddenly heard footsteps outside the hall, and hurriedly took the opportunity to withdraw her hand and pretended to look outside the hall.

Song Rubai was a little disappointed, and finally found an opportunity to get close to Su Youyi, who is this so bad?

When he looked back, it was not someone else who was causing trouble, it was nameless.

This made him feel more and more uncomfortable.

What's even more uncomfortable, he has to get up and salute Nameless, "I've seen my lord." ”

Nameless came in from outside the hall, and clearly saw this Song Ru's white-haired hands and feet, intending to offend Su Youyi, and he was holding back his anger in his heart.

I wanted to have a seizure, but I saw Su Youyi secretly shaking her head at him.

He had no choice but to suppress that anger.

Su Youyi still wants to use this Song family brother, and it is not good for him to get rid of these two people for the time being, so he can only endure it first.

It's one thing to be patient, but he will never give Song Rubai a good look.

He ignored Song Rubai's salute and walked directly to Su Youyi's side.
