Chapter 64: Encounter (4)
Sure enough, as Gu Qingxuan expected, just after the Dragon Boat Festival, it was the Queen Mother's birthday. The Queen Mother opened her mouth to intercede for Du Guifei, Du Guifei moved out of the cold palace, and the second prince was also lifted.
Gu Qingxuan smiled coldly. Lady Du can come out of the cold palace, and the second prince can also lift the ban, but what about her father and brother? Who will give her father and brother back?
Since Du Guang was beheaded, the Gu family and the second prince's faction have stood on opposite sides. No, maybe from the moment the Gu family was unwilling to stand on the side of the second prince, they were destined to be enemies.
The Gu family has always been reluctant to intervene in party struggles, but the Gu family has heavy troops. The Gu family is loyal to Daqi, loyal to Jinshang, and loyal to His Royal Highness the Prince.
Gu Qingxuan smiled bitterly, there is no way for the Gu family to be alone now, and she is a girl who has to intervene in this changing situation.
The Queen Mother's birthday, the Gu family is filial piety, so naturally she will not attend. It's just that Gu Qingxuan frowned and was thinking, why did His Majesty get Du Guifei out of the cold palace at this time, although she did not restore her status, but no one dared to bully in the harem, after all, Du Guifei had a second prince, and she was still a favored second prince.
Gu Qingxuan was puzzled, she frowned and went to Old Madam Gu's room.
Old Madam Gu looked at her sad face and smiled lightly, "The second girl is still young after all." The queen mother is also an ordinary grandmother, the second prince is the same year as your eldest brother, and it is time to marry the concubine. She stuffed the newspaper in her hand into Gu Qingxuan's hand, "In the future, I will have someone send this to you." ”
Gu Qingxuan pursed her lips and asked, "According to grandmother, whose girl does the second prince want to marry as a concubine?" ”
"Originally, Du Guifei intended to let your eldest sister be the second prince's concubine, but I refused." Old Madam Gu sighed, "If I hadn't refused this family business, I'm afraid the Gu family wouldn't have this difficulty." ”
Gu Qingxuan didn't know that there was such a thing.
Old Madam Gu continued, "Second girl, as a prince, there is no one who doesn't want that position. And the second prince has been deeply spoiled by His Majesty since he was a child, so he is even more eager for that position. Now, the Gu family has decayed and is no longer a threat to the second prince. Now that the second prince wants to have an advantage, he is naturally cautious about this princess. ”
Gu Qingxuan nodded, "That's what Grandmother said." ”
"If I'm not mistaken, Du Guifei will choose the second princess from the Cui family, the Zhenguo Mansion and the Jiang family, as well as the two families. However, the women of the Cui family do not enter the harem, and the men of the Cui family are not princesses. So, it won't be the Cui family. As for the Zhenguo Mansion, the crown princess is from the Zhenguo Mansion, and the Zhenguo Mansion will not let his family fight, so it will not be the Zhenguo Mansion. The Jiang family was originally the in-laws of the Marquis of Wenyuan's mansion. Therefore, it is very likely that these two princesses are from the Jiang family. ”
Gu Qingxuan nodded slightly and asked, "Jiang Fang's daughter?" ”
Old Madam Gu responded, "Jiang Fang's eldest daughter, Jiang Lanyue, is just right." She smiled lightly, "With the father-in-law of the forbidden army, the second prince has also been of great help." ”
"Your Majesty would be willing to watch the second prince marry the daughter of the Jiang family, so that the second prince and His Royal Highness the crown prince can check and balance each other?" Gu Qingxuan asked with a frown.
Old Madam Gu smiled lightly, "The emperor's technique is to pay attention to a check and balance. Besides, Du Guifei and the second prince were forced to be anxious, and they didn't know what they would do. Jiang Fang's daughter is known for her talent and is deeply liked by the Queen Mother, and these two princesses are afraid that they will not be able to escape. However, it is man-made, after all, there are too many women who want to become the second princess. ”
