Chapter 159: Appeasement
"Niangniang is angry, we just don't want to be involved in these things, all the rights of the Chi Mansion belong to Your Majesty." Seeing this, Chi Jingyu said lightly.
The queen mother, a woman, dared to be fierce against Bai Wushuang, Chi Jingyu's words made the queen dare not, after all, most of these things still depend on how Chi Jingyu chooses.
What's more, Chi Jingyu has been killing on the battlefield for many years, just this momentum makes the queen a little afraid, but even so, the queen doesn't want to let go of this opportunity that she finally discovered.
"It's not okay to wait and see, now that everyone has begun to stand in line, General Chi's attitude can be regarded as crucial." The queen said lightly, the coldness in her tone was self-evident.
If Chi Jingyu surrenders to the eldest prince now, there will inevitably be a glimmer of life, for a woman, especially a woman in this harem, the most important thing is her own child!
If Chi Jingyu didn't say anything, it would have been forgotten, but now that the battle for the throne has reached such a critical time, how can the queen let go so easily?
"Queen Mother, sons and daughters visit Queen Mother." When the eldest prince knew the news, he immediately rushed over, Chi Jingyu and Bai Wushuang were uncertain now, and they couldn't let their queen mother hurt these two people, otherwise their future situation would not be good.
"Hurry up, Emperor, you've told you so many times, you don't need to be so formalistic when you come here, sit down." The queen said with a smile, like a mother.
"Why is the Queen Mother angry?" The eldest prince did not answer the queen, but just asked.
The tone was full of sincerity and innocence, and when the queen heard the eldest prince ask, the smile on her face stiffened slightly for a moment, and immediately recovered: "The queen mother was not angry, she was just listening to the general's wife chatting." ”
Bai Wushuang nodded and said with a smile: "Originally, I was chatting, but I think that the courtiers don't know how to chat, so they make the mother angry, this is the fault of the courtiers." ”
Bai Wushuang's attitude was very sincere, and the eldest prince couldn't help but laugh and said, "In that case, the two of you should go first, and I will accompany the queen mother here." ”
Bai Wushuang and Chi Jingyu nodded, and left directly, without the slightest nostalgia, the eldest prince looked at the queen and said: "Queen Mother, you are a little too radical this time, none of these two people are not something in the pool!" Naturally, it's not something we can master. ”
After finishing speaking, the eldest prince left directly, catching up with Chi Jingyu and Bai Wushuang, who glanced at the eldest prince lightly and did not speak.
"It was my mother's fault for those things before, and I'm sorry for that." The eldest prince sighed, looked at Chi Jingyu and Bai Wushuang, and spoke.
It was already not easy for a prince to take the initiative to lower his noble head and take the initiative to apologize, Bai Wushuang smiled lightly, waved his hand, and said: "It's nothing, this matter can be understood, after all, every parent wants their children to be well." ”
Although Bai Wushuang was very disgusted with the things that the queen did, it was undeniable that from the standpoint of a mother, the queen had done a good job.
"Then we'll go first." When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Chi Jingyu said lightly, and after finishing speaking, he directly pulled Bai Wushuang and left.
"It's better for you to enter the palace as little as possible in the future, there are more and more twists and turns in the palace." Chi Jingyu looked at Bai Wushuang and said, Bai Wushuang nodded.
"General, madam, the second prince has come to visit." The two of them had just returned to the mansion, and before they could say a few words, they heard a report from the people below.
Bai Wushuang raised his eyebrows slightly, how could the second prince come here? The loss of the power of the Praetorian Guard in the palace must have made him very unhappy.
"Nine times out of ten, you want to question what happened in the palace, you better be careful, you can deal with it yourself when he comes." Bai Wushuang said lightly, Bai Wushuang had just come out of the palace, but he was a little tired.
Chi Jingyu nodded, then got up and left directly.
"Meet the Second Prince." Chi Jingyu gave a casual salute.
The second prince waved his hand and said with a smile: "I came to find you, so you don't need to see you like this." ”
Bai Wushuang sat alone in the room for a while, always feeling unsteady in his heart, and after thinking about it, he decided to go to the study to take a look.
"Now that the battle for the throne has become more and more fierce, I wonder what the general thinks of this?" The second prince said tentatively, when he came here today, the second prince just wanted to test Chi Jingyu's tone, if Chi Jingyu really united with the eldest prince, then he had to start a lot of preparations.
Bai Wushuang casually brought over the tea brought by the servant who came over, waved his hand, and said, "Leave these things to me, you can deal with your own affairs first." ”
After Bai Wushuang finished speaking, he walked in directly, and when he heard the door open, Chi Jingyu looked over, but he didn't expect it to be Bai Wushuang.
Bai Wushuang said with a smile: "Thinking that the two of you will inevitably be a little tired from discussing things here, so I specially prepared some hot tea, which shouldn't bother you, right?" ”
Bai Wushuang's words were a little apologetic, but there was no way on his face, so he walked in and placed the tea on the table casually.
"My only opinion on this matter is to stay out of it." Chi Jingyu said lightly.
"General, with such great power, if you really stay out of the matter, you don't dare to do anything, after all, in the future, the general will always choose a good person who stands in line." The second prince spoke, and the hint in his tone was almost obvious.
"Even if we want to find someone to work with, we won't find a narrow-minded person, the second prince should take his heart." Bai Wushuang and the second prince have never been too confrontational, and Bai Wushuang directly scolded back.
The second prince scolded angrily in his heart, he didn't expect that he would suffer a loss at the hands of a woman, and now he is still counting on Chi Jingyu to help him, the second prince can only accompany the smiling face.
"I suddenly remembered that our husband and wife still have some other things to deal with, and the second prince shouldn't be so ruthless and obstruct us, right?" Bai Wushuang said, and picked up the teacup on the table.
The second prince understood what Bai Wushuang meant, nodded with a chuckle, and said, "Since that's the case, the prince will leave first." ”
After finishing speaking, he left directly, without even taking a sip of tea, Bai Wushuang looked at Chi Jingyu and said seriously: "I want to go to the teahouse to drink tea." ”
"It's just that the two of us are eating here, but it's not interesting, otherwise let's call some other people?" Bai Wushuang chuckled lightly and said as he looked at the teahouse where people came and went.
Although this place is a teahouse, it can barely be regarded as a restaurant, and the resources prepared upstairs also have exquisitely decorated private rooms, not to mention that you can still hear Shuangshuang tell stories when eating, why not do it?
"Whatever you want." Chi Jingyu said helplessly, anyway, all these things are up to Bai Wushuang.
Bai Wushuang nodded and called a group of people to come here for dinner, and the group of people barely improved their relationship.
After eating and drinking, they started chatting, and a few people didn't pay much attention to it, anyway, everyone knew what they said.
The government of this place is quite good, and there will be no unspeakable situation.
After eating, a group of people left satisfied, and early the next morning, Chi Jingyu went to the morning court as usual.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a book to play!" A minister looked loyal, knelt on the ground, and said loudly, but it was a little painful, Chi Jingyu raised his eyebrows and glanced at this person If he was not wrong just now, this person had been staring at him just now.
"Aiqing might as well say it directly, what is there to hide above this court!" The emperor waved his hand and said, for this kind of thing, the emperor doesn't like it very much, going straight is the emperor's favorite way to do things at present, he is now old, and he has no time and energy to accompany these people.
The minister said in a trembling voice: "The minister knows that after he finishes talking today, maybe His Majesty will never see it again, but for the sake of the clarity in this court, the minister has to play!" ”
"Lord Lin has something to say, you might as well say it directly in this palace, above the court, how can anyone dare to embarrass your father, and the emperor will support you." The second prince chuckled and persuaded, feeling that what this person said must be very important.
"Yesterday, the minister saw General Chi drinking with a group of people, including the eldest prince, and the minister suspected these people of forming a party for personal gain!" The man said loudly, kowtowing heavily on the ground, as if he really looked at death The second prince chuckled and hooked the corners of his lips.
The relationship between the second prince and the eldest prince has always been discordant, so naturally whichever party eats the turtle, the other party will be extremely happy, not to mention that it is still in this kind of place.
"Even if the imperial brother only wants this throne, there is no need to be in such a hurry, whether it is the son-in-law or the eldest son, he is the imperial brother." When the second prince said it coldly, the second prince would naturally take the initiative to step on it.
The eldest prince is naturally not to be outdone, how can people brush up on their favorability in front of the emperor at such a time?
"Erchen doesn't know, but he just had a meal with General Chi, so he can be regarded as forming a party for personal gain, and there were a lot of people who stayed there yesterday." The eldest prince said sarcastically.
Yesterday Bai Wushuang invited a lot of people to eat there, many people can testify, the emperor looked at Chi Jingyu, and then looked at the eldest prince, Chi Jingyu did not intend to explain for himself, the emperor nodded, slightly relieved.
