Mama Song looked serious, standing outside the brocade curtain in the second room, like a door god.

Inside the room, the eldest princess sat on the edge of the carved kang, sliding the lid cup in her hand, and was listening intently to the eldest son.

Wei Guogong was dressed in a big red silk robe, only took the crown to wear, obviously just returned from the governor's mansion, and he didn't have time to change his clothes, he was sitting on the red sandalwood circle chair on the left side at this time, the tip of his nose was still slightly sweaty, his voice was extremely low, and his expression was very serious: "After the court meeting this morning, the saint sent his son to the imperial study, although he reprimanded the third highness a lot in his words, but then changed his tone, and the implication was that he still hoped that his mother would forgive this time, and carefully consider Yichen's marriage." ”

In the past half a month, this is the second time that the Holy Lord has sent Wei Guogong to the imperial study to talk, and he has said the same thing.

"Mother, Third Highness, he ...... In the end, it's because of youth and frivolity, it's not a big mistake......" Wei Guogong saw that the eldest princess just frowned, and added a few hesitations: "The saint seems to have made a decision to implement the reform, so he ...... "If the reform is carried out, it will inevitably lead to controversy among the courtiers, and the saint must try his best to win the support of the believers.

The eldest princess's brows frowned a little tighter, but she asked the Huang family, who had not spoken for a long time: "Yichen's marriage, what do you think about being a mother?" ”

Huang was slightly stunned, since the marriage discussion, about Yichen's future, her mother-in-law has never consulted her, and she was cautious and did not interfere, but at this time, she suddenly asked in front of her. couldn't help but hesitate to look at Wei Guogong, but seeing him bowing slightly, the Huang family replied thoughtfully: "Daughter-in-law just thinks that Chen'er is not suitable for the Fourth Highness, let alone the queen mother...... If Chen'er finally becomes the fourth princess, the queen mother will inevitably be dissatisfied with her, and in the future, Chen'er's life will be difficult, but the third highness...... Although there was that turmoil, the mother was also worried about Chen'er's future, so she hesitated, but His Royal Highness and the prince were in harmony, and the queen also hoped that he would marry our house...... Grandpa Guo must do his best for the saint, so that he will not have any worries. ”

When the eldest princess heard this, although she was still frowning, she bowed slightly, and the Huang family breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, since the eldest princess learned that Yichen had lost the orchid hairpin, the first person to suspect it was the Huang family.

After all, the Huang family has a pro-San Lang, although she treats Su Xun as a parent on the surface, but her heart is separated from her belly, and whether she has greed in her heart, the eldest princess is really not sure.

If the Huang family covets the title, they naturally don't want Yichen to marry into the royal family and become Su Xun's help, then it is possible to use the orchid hairpin to make trouble and ruin Yichen's reputation.

The hairpin was ransomed from the pawnshop and its whereabouts are unknown, which already shows that someone has no intentions.

And the loss of the hairpin, of course, leaked from within the Patriotic Mansion.

Huang is indeed suspicious.

The eldest princess has been hiding this matter, also in order to secretly observe the Huang family, and this inquiry is a temptation.

Huang's words, although they were not in line with the eldest princess's wishes, were really for Yichen's consideration.

"Mother, the Holy Lord and the Queen Mother value the concubine, and neither of them will let His Royal Highness the Fourth and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seize power, so the son believes that Chen'er's marriage must be cautious, and the overall situation should be put first." Wei Guogong looked at the eldest princess, but he didn't say anything: "Chen'er must not be the fourth princess." ”

In fact, whether it is the eldest princess or the prince of Weiguo, they have reservations about the prince - the queen is bent on planning for the prince, gathering powerful and important ministers, and consolidating the momentum of the East Palace, but the prince's temperament has always been a little wavering, and there are often some ridiculous acts, for example, seven or eight years ago, the prince had a dispute with the son of a courtier, so that he took people's lives, causing the first emperor to be angry, and gave two reparations to death, and severely punished the eldest grandson for being grounded and kneeling, and was punished with whipping; For example, right now, the prince has been married for several years, but he is doing such immoral things with the princess's sister......

But the crown prince is the crown prince, as long as the saint does not change the East Palace, as a courtier, he must be loyal to him.

Wei Guogong knew that Chen Guifei and the fourth prince were ambitious, how could he marry them?

If Yichen is the fourth princess, even if Wei Guogong is selfless, it will cause the queen and the prince to be jealous, and the four princes, if they don't get the support of their father-in-law, they are afraid that they will not treat Yichen well.

The eldest princess has the same idea as Wei Guogong in her heart, even if Yichen does not marry the third prince, she must not marry the fourth prince, although she already has other plans, but she is still hesitating, and in front of the Huang family, she doesn't want to say what she thinks, so she bowed her head, but she said perfunctorily: "This matter is not in a hurry, or wait for me to discuss it with the queen mother before deciding." ”

Huang thought that the eldest princess had been convinced, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the next words were no longer as pressured as just now: "Mother, Mrs. Wen handed over the post earlier, inviting her daughter-in-law to cruise the river on a painting boat in three days, and specially gave Chen'er a post, and the daughter-in-law didn't dare to ......be arbitrary."

This Mrs. Wen is the sister of the empress, and is currently the wife of Zhongshulang Chinese Zhongkai, and the Huang family does not have frequent contacts, this time the invitation, the purpose is naturally for the marriage between Yichen and the third prince, I am afraid that there is also Su Jing and Zhen Mo, because the eldest princess and Wei Guogong consider the prince's reputation, his personal relationship with Zhen Mo, even the Huang family is still in the dark, the Huang family will see the eldest princess's ambiguous attitude, and he is not sure whether to be invited.

Thinking of the play that Zhen Mo played in front of Su Xun last time, the Huang family knew that the eldest princess's impression of Zhen Mo was only not as good as before, but Mrs. Zhen was also pressing, and in the past half a month, the Huang family had been invited many times, which really made the Huang family embarrassed, and decided to talk about it with the eldest princess first: "Mother, in fact, half a month ago, the daughter-in-law went to Zhen's mansion, and Mrs. Zhen mentioned that she wanted her fourth mother to be with our ......."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Wei Guogong cough lightly.

Huang didn't know why, and looked at Wei Guogong......

On the same day in Kunren Palace, the queen raised this matter in person, and after the Huang family returned, she told Wei Guogong that her husband had only one sentence - Jing'er's marriage has her own mother as the master.

Huang didn't mention it again, but now looking at Wei Guogong's expression, he was very unhappy......

Huang thought that even if Zhen Mo was a little cautious and not very sincere, it was not a big mistake in the end, her identity was as good as that of Xun'er, why did Wei Guogong reject it so much?

The eldest princess didn't have any dissatisfaction, but just said lightly: "You have been working hard to deal with the Zhen family these days, so don't worry about this matter." ”

Huang was even more puzzled, but he had no choice but to promise.

"But Mrs. Wen must have invited Mrs. Zhen as well, if she ...... that day"

"I also have a post from the Wen family, don't go that day, I'll personally take the two sisters Chen'er and Jing'er on this trip." The eldest princess finally decided.

Naturally, the Huang family did not dare to have any objections.

The Three Princes' Mansion –

With a "bang", a tea bowl carved with jade porcelain carved orchids fell on the gold brick ground, shattered in half, and the warm tea splashed everywhere, painting spots and marks on Shi Sihuang's robe.

Shi Si knelt on his knees with a "bang", and the hot sweat on his forehead was dripping down, but he didn't care about wiping it, he only cared about prostrate: "It's all small incompetence......"

"After more than ten days, you only found out a maid who didn't see anyone alive or dead, and a good person disappeared out of thin air, and there was no strange ghost, all of which were nonsense!" The red gold moire black brocade boots went back and forth, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince had a handsome face, and there seemed to be lightning and thunder brewing between his frowning brows.

Yesterday, he entered the palace and asked the Queen Mother to ask for peace, and happened to meet his good fourth brother, in front of the Queen Mother, he ridiculed him, saying that the talented man has been amorous since ancient times, while confessing his heart to the Su Aunt, and on the other hand, he was involved with the Goulan woman, and even the absurd behavior of the guilty plea was also done, which was really convincing, and the Queen Mother was very unhappy, and reprimanded him again, only saying that the original good relationship was ruined in his misconduct, the implication is that he is unwilling to wronged Aunt Su.

The fourth prince was proud and confident, how could he not let him be angry.

At this time, the third prince was only sure that he had fallen into the calculation of the fourth prince.

And the jade seal of the imperial gift......

Together, he was busy and anxious for several days, and he didn't even notice that the jade seal was missing! It was still reminded by the maid next to him, only to find that the jade seal had disappeared without a trace.

The jade seal has always been worn close to the body, and it has never been taken off even when bathing, so naturally it will not disappear for no reason, it must have been stolen when he was unconscious in Qianrao Pavilion that day.

But what was the purpose of the man stealing it?

The third prince was puzzled, and he became more and more anxious.

can be investigated for many days, but the mastermind behind the scenes is still nowhere to be seen, and there is no trace of the jade seal.

Seeing the long and continuous kowtowing in front of him, the third prince became more and more impatient, and suddenly stood in front of Shi Si: "I'll give you three more days, if there is no progress...... a sneer, the third prince's gaze is high, and a dense layer of cold sweat is born on Shi Si's back.

Shi Si is a close confidant of the prince, and naturally he is well versed in the temperament of this master, and knows that this master is definitely not a soft-hearted person, if he doesn't find out anything, he will be punished or a trivial matter, and he is afraid that His Royal Highness will be angry and pinch him to death as a minion, which is not like pinching an ant to death.

At the moment, Shi Si couldn't care less about the lack of evidence, and said some doubts that he had racked his brains to think of these days.

"Your Royal Highness, I met a person by chance some time ago, who is a descendant of the Weiguo Mansion, and it is said that his sister-in-law is on an errand beside Su Wuniang, and he once mentioned the girl in red...... Xiao Yuan didn't take it to heart, and casually talked a few words to him, only saying that the master had seen the girl in red...... "Seeing that the third prince's expression changed, and the undercurrent in his eyes became stronger, Shi Si was frightened and kowtowed: "The little one didn't tell him the identity of His Royal Highness...... It wasn't until the Qianrao Pavilion incident happened that the little one who found out that the person who reported the news to the Zhu family was also acquainted at the chicken farm, and he felt puzzled...... Because the small one and the three shun got acquainted with the chicken farm. ”

Su's five mothers? The third prince's eyebrows jumped a few times, and he groaned for a while.

"The more I think about it, the more I feel that Dong Sanshun is a little strange, as if he deliberately made friends with Xiao, and checked his temperament, but he is not a good gambler......"

"Why didn't you say it sooner!" The three princes were furious.

"The little one didn't see any evidence."

The third prince pondered for a while, and quickly made a decision: "Don't startle the snake, find a way to ...... that person What's it called? ”

"Dong Sanshun." Shi Si immediately reported it.

"Let that little guy of the Zhu family secretly see this person, and you can determine if it is the person who reported to him." The third prince kicked Shi Si angrily: "It's in vain that you usually think you're smart, you can't think of such a simple method, why don't you hurry up and get out and make arrangements!" ”

Shi Si was kicked by this kick and "kicked" straight out of the house.

The third prince was still thoughtful, and the five mothers of the Su family ...... If it really had something to do with her, it would be really interesting!
