General Cheng didn't expect his kindness to be misinterpreted, but he was an upright person, and the previous thing was that he had done wrong, and with full of anger, he still said to the emperor: "Ask the emperor to relieve His Royal Highness the Prince's punishment." ”

Song Shipu, who was kneeling on the ground, lowered his head, why was this general so stubborn! I also wanted His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to talk about it until he was desperate before he was willing to dispel this idea. He couldn't speak now, for fear that he would get into trouble with the Song Mansion as soon as he opened his mouth.

Fang Taishi sneered and looked at General Cheng, he really didn't know if this person was friend or foe.

Lou Lichen was stopped by the emperor when he wanted to speak again, and the emperor sighed and announced in a deep voice: "Since General Cheng insists, then withdraw the prince's punishment, and the prince will not have to come to the imperial study tomorrow." ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is excellent in political affairs, so every time the emperor reviews the folds in the imperial study, he will ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to help, but I didn't expect the emperor to withdraw his privilege to enter the imperial study, does that mean that the prince's position is not so unbreakable.

Think about how many people the crown prince has provoked over the years, even if he inherits the throne, there is another minister in the court who can obey him.

General Cheng's face was stunned, did he do something wrong? That incident started because of him, and it would be better for him to solve it, how can it feel like he hurt His Royal Highness the Prince. The anger in his heart was extinguished by a basin of cold water, and General Cheng was a little confused.

Lou Lichen's face didn't fluctuate much, and he said expressionlessly: "Erchen knows." ”

When Taishi Fang saw it, he immediately spoke: "The emperor is busy with government affairs, there must be a prince to assist the emperor, the emperor, do you think His Royal Highness King Nan'an and His Royal Highness King Yong'an are suitable?" ”

The emperor pinched his forehead, what happened just now really gave him a headache, "Which prince does Aiqing want to recommend?" ”

Master Fang rolled his eyes and said: "The minister thinks that King Yong'an is the most suitable, King Yong'an and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are close, and King Yong'an can ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for help if he doesn't understand, and it won't delay the emperor's political affairs." ”

The emperor looked at Song Shipu again and asked, "What does Song Aiqing think?" ”

One sentence made Song Shipu sweat coldly, it seemed that the emperor was still suspicious of him, and he said ambiguously as before: "The minister thinks that the two highnesses are okay, King Yong'an is calm, King Nan'an is capable, and they can serve the king's side, and in the end, it depends on the emperor's intentions." ”

The emperor nodded, waved his hand and said: "This matter will be discussed another day, if Zhong Aiqing has nothing to do, he will retreat from the court!" ”

After the emperor left, the ministers retreated one after another, Song Shipu wanted to wait until the end before leaving, and when the people were almost gone, when he turned around and saw that General Cheng was still in a daze, he walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

General Cheng woke up from a dream, and he asked, "Shoufu?" Am I doing something wrong? ”

Song Shipu replied, "You are still young, and you will experience again." After speaking, he left without looking back, leaving General Cheng to think alone.

Although General Cheng is calmer than his peers, he is also the same age as his son after all, unlike their group of old ministers who have been with the emperor for many years.

General Cheng looked at the back of Song Shipu leaving, and began to reflect on himself in his heart. At that time, the prince also said that he was young and not suitable for the battlefield, and he was angered by this sentence at that time, a little child actually said that he was young, but today Shousuke also said the same thing, and he really needs to think about it.

Song Shipu, who was out of the main hall, was stopped by a maid, "See Shoufu, Concubine Niangniang is invited." ”

The matter in the court has long been spread to the harem, Concubine Shu didn't expect his brother to openly stand on the prince's side now, even so, Yuan'er is still his nephew, why don't you want to help him!

Song Shipu reluctantly went to Fangzhi Palace.

As soon as I entered Fangzhi Palace, I saw Concubine Shu coming over complainingly, "My brother still knows to come and see me!" ”

Concubine Shu is like a coquettish sister, she hopes that this can arouse Song Shipu's family affection and allow him to help Yuan'er.

But Song Shipu is Song Shipu, he will not be affected by these things, he honestly salutes Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu hurriedly helped him up, "Brother, why are you so rusty!" I know you're already on His Royal Highness the Prince's side, but between Yuan'er and King Yong'an, you should always support Yuan'er, right? ”

Song Shipu sighed, "If I helped him at that time, it would really hurt him, you don't understand the affairs of the court, and the harem can't interfere in political affairs, you better help Yuan'er find a concubine." If there is nothing to do with the concubine, the minister will retire, and I have been here for a long time, so it is even worse for Yuan'er. ”

Concubine Shu couldn't understand what Song Shipu meant, but he would never harm himself, and when he heard him say that he would harm Yuan'er if he was here for a long time, he stopped stopping him, although he was still unwilling in his heart.

Song Shipu hesitated again and again, but before leaving, he still advised Concubine Shu, "You also know the emperor's experience, the emperor is more cautious about the relationship between the prince and the prince, so the less we are ministers, the better it will be for them." ”

It's all reminded here, I hope Concubine Shu can understand what he means. After speaking, Song Shipu left.

Concubine Shu didn't think about what it meant for a long time, and the palace maid next to her, Ping'er, whispered to Concubine Shu: "Niangniang, the slave maid thinks that Shoufu."

It means that according to the emperor's caution about the prince, he will help him if he doesn't help His Royal Highness King Nan'an, otherwise the emperor will suspect that he has two hearts. ”

This concubine is stupid, if it weren't for the Song family behind her, as well as the clever Ping'er and a concubine Qi who swore to serve her to the death, she would not have been able to get into this position.

After listening to Ping'er's explanation, she probably understood what Ping'er meant, she thought about it, and asked Ping'er again, "I heard that Master Fang recommended King Yong'an, according to your explanation, does this Master Fang support Yuan'er?" ”

Ping'er didn't dare to judge things that she wasn't sure of, so she had to shake her head. Concubine Shu had no choice but to find Concubine Qi, who was raising a baby in her palace.

Concubine Qi was a palace maid before, and she was promised by the emperor after she was lucky, because of her identity, she was bullied by those concubines in the palace very badly, and once unintentionally, Concubine Shu saved her, and she decided that she would definitely help Concubine Shu.

Over the years, because of her by her side, Concubine Shu was able to regain her grace, and she also followed a lot of light, so she became pregnant with a dragon fetus, which was one level older than those who had bullied her, and since then, she has been more loyal to Concubine Shu.

"Sister, how is your body lately?"

Concubine Qi sighed, she touched her bulging belly, which was not easy to keep, "If you hadn't sent someone, I'm afraid that this child would be more than lucky." ”

Concubine Shu patted her hand to calm her heart, although she was stupid, she also knew the viciousness of this harem battle, many children were stillborn, and her children were also left because of the protection of her mother's family.

If Concubine Qi gave birth to a prince, it would be a good thing for both of them.

"Don't worry, the prince will definitely be born safely. Hongu is here today because I want to ask you something. ”

Concubine Qi is raising a baby in the palace for a while, but she still has heard about things outside, the little niece of Concubine Shu's family withdrew from her marriage with King Nan'an, and was later given the marriage of the prince, Concubine Shu's mother should be very uncomfortable!

"That's right, just now my mother's brother told me that the emperor is more cautious about the relationship between the prince and the prince, so when the emperor asked him to choose which prince to go to the imperial study to help, he didn't choose far away. Another Fang Taishi chose King Yong'an between Yuan'er and King Yong'an, does that mean that Fang Taishi threw an olive branch to us? ”

Concubine Shu asked happily, suddenly thinking of something, she "oops", feeling stupid in her heart.

"What's wrong with the lady?"

"This Master Fang is often against Shoufu, how can he help Yuan'er?"

Concubine Qi raised her eyebrows, "That's not necessarily, Master Fang is also a person who can see the situation clearly, if I remember correctly, his family has two in-laws' youngest daughters who are about to reach the age of marriage, and now there is no concubine among the princes, but our Majesty King Nan'an." ”

Concubine Shu was overjoyed in her heart, "Although the Song family will not stand in line openly, at least it will not hurt Yuan'er, then the Song family will be useless to Yuan'er, if you have the support of Master Fang, then Yuan'er's road after that will be much easier, thanks to your original proposal to give that Chu family girl a side concubine." ”

Concubine Qi didn't expect it to be so far, and when she heard Concubine Shu say this, she felt that Concubine Shu was not so unenlightened.

"Niangniang, have you ever observed the Fang family girl at the Hundred Flowers Banquet?"

As soon as the girl of the Fang family was mentioned, Fang Xixi was thought of, and Concubine Shu's face was full of disgust, if it weren't for this girl, how could her plan fail

, how could Wu'er marry the crown prince.

Seeing that Concubine Shu was embarrassed, Concubine Qi explained: "My sister is not talking about Fang Xixi, Fang Xixi is the concubine of the Fang family, and the two little girls who are about to start discussing marriage are the girls who will come out." ”

Concubine Shu nodded, no wonder she was so unruly, it turned out to be a concubine.

"I didn't pay attention at the time, you have a good rest first, I asked people to summon those two girls into the palace to take a look first."

After saying that, Concubine Shu left in a hurry. She must help Yuan'er find a concubine who can help.

After Song Shipu left Concubine Shu's palace, another palace maid came over, claiming to be the concubine's mother, and before the palace maid could speak, he waved his hand, "No need, no one will support the old minister." I am not related to the concubine, and it is really inappropriate to enter the palace of the concubine. ”

The palace maid was stunned in place, seeing that Song Shipu had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Shoufu misunderstood, the concubine Niangniang sent me to discuss with you whether to let someone from your mansion measure the size of the furniture on the 18th or the 22nd of this month. ”

The furniture was to be sent in advance before Song Wu'er got married, and after measuring the size of the furniture, the levy was over, and the invitation was officially ready.

"Also, this is the gentleman orchid of the Western Regions that the emperor rewarded the concubine Niangniang, which is very precious. I heard that Miss Wu'er likes flowers and plants, so she asked the slave maid to bring them to Miss Wu'er. ”

Song Shipu was a little embarrassed, it seemed that he was thinking too much.

"Thank you for your kindness, the minister accepted it for the little girl, and she will be asked to thank her in person in two days. As for the size of the system, it is set at ten

Number eight! ”

Measure the size of the furniture Song Wu'er can go or not, this matter is the responsibility of Xu Zinian of the Ministry of Rites, a while ago he was busy with the marriage of his daughter Xu Wenxiao and Uncle Xiaohuang, and the emperor allowed him not to worry.

Song Shipu, who had stayed in the harem for a long time, could finally leave, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
