Huainan Palace.

Gu Tingjun is concentrating on painting, in the painting is a woman dressed in white, under the light and cold moonlight, her thin body is holding a jade bone fan, dancing, her posture is graceful, but she has no face.

The woman's facial features, the woman's expression, the woman's coldness, and the woman's perseverance were all completely engraved in his mind, but he couldn't sketch them out at this time.

The corners of his mouth hooked slightly, revealing a touch of gentleness, it seems that some things are better kept in mind.

Changsun Qi was shouting outside, Gu Tingjun hurriedly put away the painting, he had always had no secrets about Changsun Qi, but at the moment, he didn't know how, he seemed to be a little weak-hearted, and he didn't want his current mind to be known by the outside, even if this person was his good brother for more than ten years.

"What are you doing, you didn't go out last night when I asked you to drink. The eldest grandson Qi entered and asked, "These days, you don't go out of the door, can't you get sick?"

"I'm very healthy, and I just have some things to deal with. Gu Tingjun said lightly, "You've been active too often lately, it's not good to be too eye-catching." ”

"Then what's the solution?" Eldest Sun Qi sat on the desk with a big grin, "We originally thought that in addition to this crown princess, the queen would definitely leave it to Zheng Peilan, but we didn't expect that she actually used the position of a crown princess to pull the prime minister over, don't you know how many protégés the prime minister has, the current situation of the second prince is getting worse and worse, we need to move more, otherwise we really sit still and let others slaughter?"

"The position of the crown princess is so important, do you think that without the nod of His Majesty, a queen can decide?" Gu Tingjun asked lightly.

Eldest Sun Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked with a cold face, "What do you mean...... Your Majesty has already given up on the second prince?"

"Your Majesty has always favored the second prince, and you need the second prince to restrain the crown prince, how can you give up now?" Gu Tingjun smiled faintly, "The position of a crown princess can indeed draw Prime Minister Bai into the camp of the crown prince, but the position of the crown princess is so important, how can Marquis Xuanyuan give up? Since Prime Minister Bai knows about the threat of Marquis Xuanyuan, won't there be some measures to ensure her daughter's status?" Prime Minister Bai is on the side of the prince, but he has no heart with Xuanyuan Hou, if the prince has the support of Prime Minister Bai, it seems to be like a tiger with wings, but in fact there are many hidden dangers, and internal friction can sometimes be more powerful than external attacks. ”

Eldest Sun Qi touched his chin and nodded: "In this way, it makes sense, but now that the crown prince's strength has increased greatly, he will inevitably continue to attack the second prince, and we still need to deal with it." ”

He glanced at Gu Tingjun and said seriously: "You come and help us, as long as you are willing to become an official, with His Majesty's attention to you, these six departments are not up to you to choose, now the second prince is being forced step by step, and he is on the edge of the cliff, I know that it is not fair to you to let you stand here now, after all, the prince's future road is a broad road, but only with you, we have a chance to turn defeat into victory." ”

"Although the second prince had no chance of victory from the beginning, you are not defeated yet. Gu Tingjun said, "What you need to do now is not to have someone to help you, but to stay quiet and wait for the opportunity." Before Li Changlong became the crown prince, his enemy was the second prince, so he needed the assistance of Xuanyuan Hou behind his back, but after he became the crown prince, the second prince was no longer his biggest enemy, his biggest enemy was Xuanyuan Hou, you just need to wait quietly for them to lose both. ”

"Will they fight among themselves?"

"The power of the Marquis of Xuanyuan has increased again and again, and it will definitely contain the prince, is the prince willing to become the puppet of the Marquis of Xuanyuan? They coexist, and they will eventually become mortal enemies, so all you have to do now is to wait for this time to come, before that, the more you do, the tighter they will unite. Gu Tingjun smiled and said, "Of course, this method is a bit risky, for the second prince, if you don't fight back, you will retreat too much, and you won't be able to get it back." ”

The eldest grandson Qi thought for a while and said, "I will discuss this matter with the second prince again." ”

He paused, remembered something, and said, "Have you heard about Su Cheng'an's fiancé Qi Junyu?"

"Naturally, I heard about it. ”

"I heard Huiqing say that Qi Junyu and Su Chengle hooked up with that kid, but they fell out again, and that kid was so angry that he actually had the audacity to want * Su Chengle, but Jiang Huawei was also there at that time and saved Su Chengle. After that, Qi Junyu was taken away by Su Tang'an, and then he was castrated and thrown in front of the Qi Mansion, which was embarrassing. The eldest grandson touched his chin and said, "I have to say, Su Tang'an is very ruthless this time, he is his fiancé, but this is even a way to live, so life is better than death!"

"I don't think there's anything wrong with her. Gu Tingjun said lightly, "To deal with such a person, if you are not cruel, can you still use love to influence him?"

"The women's name festival is still very important, isn't it better to find an excuse to marry Su Chengle to Qi Junyu at this time, if the relationship between Su Chengle and Qi Junyu spreads, how will Su Chengle marry in the future?"

"You're right, Qi Junyu probably thinks the same way, anyway, if you can't get Su Cheng'an, it's good to get Su Chengle. Gu Tingjun sneered, "It's just that he underestimated the woman's temper, and those who bullied me and insulted me naturally wanted to make him worse than death, I think they did nothing wrong." ”

"Nothing wrong, nothing wrong. The eldest grandson Qi smiled wryly, "Such a woman, whoever marries in the future will be able to live it, if she doesn't go with her heart, she will wipe you off as soon as she is ruthless." I think it's not suitable for this kind of woman to marry home, what about you, don't be interested in that Su Cheng'an anymore, so as not to lose your heart. ”

"You don't have to worry about my business. Gu Tingjun said, "If there is nothing else, you can do it." ”

"The day after tomorrow, will you come for the autumn hunt?" asked Eldest Sun Qi.

"Why not?"

Eldest Sun Qi was silent for a moment and said, "There may be a surprise at that time!"

Xuanyuan Marquis Mansion.

"I've seen Your Highness. ”

"Flatten. ”

Li Changlong hurriedly came all the way to the outside of Zheng Peilan's courtyard, called the two maids to stop him, bowed his head and said, "Your Highness, the young lady is still resting!"

"What kind of thing are you who dare to stop this palace?" Li Changlong shouted coldly.

The two maids immediately knelt on the ground in fright, and said tremblingly: "Your Highness is angry, the young lady commands, when she rests, she will not see anyone." ”

"Bastard thing!"

"Your Highness!"

When Li Changlong was about to scold, a delicate voice came, and he saw Zheng Peizhi coming in a goose-yellow long skirt, and smiled coquettishly: "Should I call you brother-in-law now?"

"Whatever you want. Looking at the beautiful cheeks, most of the anger in Li Changlong's heart dissipated, "Your sister is still angry?"

"Isn't it!" Zheng Peizhi smiled gloatingly with her hands behind her back, "How do you coax you this time?"

"Your sister's temper, if she gets angry, it won't be good to coax for a while, your sisters have a good relationship, and you can help the palace persuade if you have nothing to do!" Li Changlong said.

"I'm so envious. Zheng Peizhi moved her small nose, "Your Royal Highness is now the crown prince, and you will condescend to make my sister happy, and I will also find a prince like Your Highness in the future." ”

Li Changlong was about to laugh with Zheng Peizhi for a few words, when a maid came and said, "Your Highness, Miss is invited." ”

He nodded and said to Zheng Peizhi, "I'll talk to you later." ”

Li Changlong entered, Zheng Peilan was wiping her tears, and when she saw him coming, she turned her body to the side.

"Still angry?" Li Changlong held her in his arms from behind, "Don't be angry, beware of hurting our children." ”

"At this time, I think of the child, let me ask you, did you know in advance about what your aunt decided on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Zheng Peilan turned her head and asked.

"Bengong swears, Bengong really didn't know that the queen mother would come to such a hand, this palace told the queen mother about your pregnancy, the queen mother was very happy at the time, saying that she knew what to do, this palace thought that she liked you so much, there is definitely no need to worry about this matter!" Li Changlong said.

After a pause, he continued: "But the palace thought about it, and the queen mother's consideration is also reasonable, now Prime Minister Bai is completely on the side of the palace, but the position of a princess is just a mere princess, you don't need to mind too much, the heart of the palace and the position of the queen are all yours." ”

"You don't talk about these things to make me happy!" Zheng Peilan pushed Li Changlong aside and sneered, "What if you change your mind in the future? I have tried my best with my father to help you get to the present, and you won't end up with chickens and eggs, right? Let me tell you why my aunt is happy to hear the news of my pregnancy?" Because she has a reason to marry me to the East Palace as a concubine, anyway, I am your person, I can't run away, and use the position of a crown princess to close Bai Qianruo, I know that my aunt's approach is for the sake of the overall situation, but where is I Zheng Peilan!"

"How can you miss the queen mother so much?" Li Changlong said with some unhappiness, "You are used to being a person who knows the general situation, how did you become so small-bellied now? Can't you tell which is more important? This palace is kind enough to come to coax you, but you have a small temperament with this palace, and you really think that after pregnancy, you can do whatever you want?"

"It's not that I want to do whatever I want, it's that you think I can do whatever I want when I doubt it, and you don't have to take me to heart at all. Zheng Peilan slapped on the table, "What are you mother and son thinking, do you think I don't know!"

"Unreasonable!" Li Changlong glared at Zheng Peilan fiercely, "If you want to be a mother in the world in the future, do you measure this bit of open-mindedness?"

"Who is rare in the world!" Zheng Peilan's face turned pale with anger and shouted coldly.

Li Changlong glanced at her coldly and turned to leave.

"You go! you don't come to me again!" Zheng Peilan roared behind her.
