The disdain in the second prince's heart deepened, he raised his head arrogantly, and glanced at Chen Zhi, "The third brother and I have other things, so we will leave first." ”

"Okay, second brother and third brother go slowly." Chen Zhi said with a smile.

The second prince left directly, and when the third prince was leaving, he nodded at Chen Zhi with a light smile, and then left.

Because we just met by chance, we chatted for a while. After the brothers pretended to greet each other, they also left.

After today's conversation, Chen Zhi is temporarily safe. After all, the second prince who was in the limelight no longer guarded against him, so the other brothers would no longer be too hostile to him. In this way, there is also an opportunity to do other things.

Chen Zhi looked at the backs of the second prince and the third prince, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He lowered his head and squinted his eyes, there were very few things about the third prince in the information that the concubine had given him, but on that page, the annotation that the concubine had given him was 'need to be guarded against'. Presumably, the concubine also saw that the three princes were not simple.

Chen Zhi also had no interest in continuing to wander around, afraid that he would meet other princes if he continued to wander around. Although he was confident in his disguise, he did not have the patience to deal with these people.

Chen Zhi slowly returned to his palace, and saw the little maid beside him walking around the door anxiously, with an anxious face.

"What's wrong?" Chen Zhi asked.

When the little servant heard the voice, he hurriedly looked over, and when he saw that it was Chen Zhi, he stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, you are finally back." The mother wants you to go to her. ”

Chen Zhi nodded, "I see." "The little girl is the concubine's person, so the mother he said doesn't need to think about it to know that it is Concubine Rong.

Chen Zhi didn't go in to change his clothes or anything like that, and went directly to Concubine Rong's palace.

The palace where Concubine Rong lived was called Yunhua Palace. This was named by the emperor himself when Concubine Rong was in her prime. Because Concubine Rong's boudoir name has the word 'cloud', she directly abolished the previous palace name.

Chen Zhi came to Yunhua Palace, and the slaves and maids in the palace led him into the main house.

Concubine Rong sat on the chair and leisurely sipping tea, and when she saw Chen Zhi coming, she beckoned him to come over.

Chen Zhi no longer pretends to be himself in his mother's concubine, although he still habitually has a smile on his face, he no longer looks stupid.

There was a touch of smoke in the house, and the slave and maid poured good tea for Chen Zhi, and waited quietly aside.

Chen Zhi smelled the faint fragrance of tea in the teacup, and didn't drink it, just held it in his hand. He didn't like the incense in the concubine's palace very much, but he couldn't show it, so he used this tea fragrance to temporarily block the strong fragrance.

Although more than a dozen spring and autumn seasons have passed now, the footprints of the years on Concubine Rong's face are not obvious. In the suburban manor before, Concubine Rong only went in a hurry, and she was tightly wrapped, so Chen Zhi actually didn't take a closer look at her mother. Now that he returned to the palace and looked at the woman with luxurious makeup in front of him, Chen Zhi felt in a trance that he was back when he was a child, but when he saw that every time Concubine Rong smiled, shallow wrinkles would appear at the corners of his eyes, Chen Zhi suddenly felt very sad.

It was because of her own favor that her mother kept her young self away from home. Now that the white horse has passed, there will be all kinds of beauties in the palace every year in front of the father, in front of those young and beautiful women, even though the mother concubine has a beautiful appearance, but it is no longer able to retain the eyes of the father. With the beauty of the favor, it really can't beat time.

Chen Zhi stared at the tea in the cup quietly and fell into his own contemplation.

"Zhi'er?" Concubine Rong exclaimed suspiciously.

Chen Zhi came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Is there something wrong with the mother concubine calling the child here today?" ”

In the month since he returned to the palace, there has been no other intersection except that Concubine Rong sent someone to his palace to help when he first came back. Chen Zhi knew that Concubine Rong was afraid of attracting attention, so he showed detachment from herself. So Chen Zhi didn't have a trace of resentment. He knew that the palace was full of people, and there were eyeliner everywhere, so he understood.

But today, the mother concubine suddenly called herself to her palace, aren't you afraid that others will be suspicious when they see it?

Concubine Rong chuckled and put down the teacup in her hand, "Zhi'er, you've been doing very well lately,"

Chen Zhi was stunned, and then understood what Concubine Rong meant. Outsiders will always be deceived by the deliberate disguise of others, and a month is enough to dispel most of the suspicions of those princes. Concubine Rong is her own mother, and if she continues to be estranged, it will be a problem.

Chen Zhi thought of this, so he didn't say anything more.

Concubine Rong glanced at the palace maids in the room, and said lightly, "You guys go down first." ”

"Yes, sissy." The palace maids left one after another after hearing this.

"Did you see the second and third princes today?" Although it was a question, Concubine Rong's words were full of affirmation.

Chen Zhi drooped his eyelids, his eyes slowly darkened, he had just met with the second brother and the third brother on his front foot, and the mother concubine on the back foot knew. Although he knew that there was nothing to hide in the palace, knowing it so quickly also showed the depth and strength of the concubine's power in the palace.

"Yes. I happened to meet them. Chen Zhi suppressed his emotions and said.

Concubine Rong lazily supported her head with one hand, playing with her hanging hair, "What do you think?" ”

"It's not bad what the mother said." Chen Zhi smiled and replied.

"The second prince is brave and unscrupulous, and he is too conceited. The child thought that the biggest opponent was not the second prince, but the third prince. Chen Zhi thought about his conversation with the second prince and the third prince, and analyzed.

Concubine Rong nodded nonchalantly, "Go on." ”

Chen Zhi pursed the corners of his mouth, seeing that Concubine Rong's expression had not changed much, she knew that she had thought of it. He continued: "The second prince is now at his peak, and the other princes are eyeing him, trying to find out his mistakes so that he can be dealt a heavy blow. His father was also jealous of him. So the child thought that the limelight of the second prince would not last long, and it should be gone soon. ”

"And the third prince, because he is an indifferent person who knows a little bit about literature and ink and likes piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the eyes of everyone, so his father and other princes do not have much hostility and precautions towards him, as far as the sons know, some princes have shown favor to him."

But he refused lightly. has been staying by the side of the second prince. ”

"Maybe the friendship between the third prince and the second prince just wants to use him and get rid of other opponents."

"Hmm." Concubine Rong stopped the movement that had been winding her hair, "I can see it clearly, it is worthy of my child." Concubine Rong smiled and praised very appreciatively.
