Old lady Cen shook Shi Wan cautiously, and said with a smile: "She is still young, where will she call people......

Before he finished speaking, he heard Shi Wan's big ignorant eyes open, and he shouted in a milky voice, "Great-grandmother." ”

Old Lady Cen was so surprised that her eyebrows and eyes widened, "Your Royal Highness is so smart. ”

"Your Highness, I am your grandmother."

Cen Mu took the sentence and looked at Shi Wan expectantly.

Shi Wan also lived up to her expectations, shouting "grandmother" milkily, and reached out to grab her.

Leaning on Shi Wan, the atmosphere in the front hall was instantly relaxed.

Yu Menghuan looked at this scene, and took a sip of warm tea with a smile on her lips, "When I was in the house, I taught her to shout." It seems that she likes her grandmother and mother-in-law very much, and that is not in vain for me and Tsuruyuki. ”

Old lady Cen nodded with a smile.

The Cen family has always been a single lineage, and it has been passed down to Cen Hexing's mother's generation, and there is only one son under Cen Hexing's knees, and the next generation of the Cen family is only Shi Wan.

Mrs. Cen and Mother Cen like her very much.

With the children here, Mrs. Cen and Mother Cen were less resentful of the original owner, and their eyes were a little softer when they looked at Yu Menghuan.

Chatting and chatting, Mrs. Cen was not in good spirits, so she sent Shi Wan to Cen Mother and asked her to hug her.

"His Royal Highness."

Old lady Cen half raised her eyes to look at Yu Menghuan, and sighed lightly, "The old woman has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

"Grandmother said bluntly, it's all a family, and there's nothing wrong with it."

Yu Menghuan said very kindly.

Old Mrs. Cen nodded, and her cloudy and old eyes flashed with the wisdom of a lady who had been in officialdom for many years.

"These words should not have been said by me to His Highness, but His Highness is close to my family, so I have to say it."

Speaking of this, Old Lady Cen looked sharp, "Dare to ask Your Highness, but you want that position?" ”

Although she is not in the court, she has a daughter who is a second-rank official, so she is also very well-informed in the court.

In the past two years, she inevitably knew a thing or two about what she had been doing, and she was very uneasy in her heart.

The battle for the throne has never been simple, not to mention that the current emperor is determined to pass the throne to the crown princess, which is the beginning of hell for other princesses.

Yu Menghuan didn't answer, but asked, "What does grandmother mean?" ”

"I advise Your Highness that it is better not to. Since ancient times, the princess and the princess are all in line, and I have both ability and political integrity, know people and are good at their duties, and they are the face of the Ming monarch. ”

"Moreover, since the princess was young, the emperor set up a small cabinet for her, and most of the important ministers in the court are princesses......"

You royal daughters, at most, are picking up those petty officials who are not used by others.

What are you fighting for?

"Her Royal Highness is as stable as a rock."

Old Mrs. Cen made a firm conclusion, her eyes drooping slightly, "And after I and your mother-in-law have been the empress dowager, my Cen family has been tied to the ship of the empress." ”

In other words, if Yu Menghuan wants to fight, the Cen family will not contribute.

Maybe for the sake of the princess, he will stab her in the back.

Mrs. Cen said this badly, but she also wanted to say it first, and then not mess up.

Yu Menghuan nodded slightly, "Grandmother Lao worries, I didn't mean that." ”

Old Lady Cen stared straight at Yu Menghuan for a long time, and the sharp edge in her eyes converged, "Your Highness has always been smart." ”

The two of them talked, and even if Cen Mu was a little worried, she didn't speak, just hugged Shi Wan and teased.

Seeing that the two of them made sense, he took the initiative to change the topic elsewhere.

At this time, Cen Zhengfulang and Cen Hexing in the backyard had just cried and were calming down.

"Over the past year, I've been worried about your situation in the Rui King's Mansion every day. I only heard that you have been sick, and the king of Rui will not let us visit, I am really ......"

Speaking of this, Cen Zhengfulang was a burst of resentment.

Thinking of this tormented year, Cen Hexing's eyes burned again.

But he didn't want Cen Zhengfulang to worry about him, so he pressed the corner of his eye with a handkerchief, and forced a smile, "I do, my health is not very good." ”

"But Your Highness bullied you?"

"No, Daddy thinks too much, His Royal Highness is very good to me and Wanwan."

Cen Hexing deliberately concealed it and turned the topic to Shi Wan.

After chatting with Cen Zhengfulang about the situation for more than a year, Cen Hexing asked with a little curiosity, "Daddy, I remember that over there in Dian Zhou, you have an old friend who sends letters to each other every year. ”

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just heard that the people of Dian Prefecture are good at Gu, I don't know if it's true."

"They're really good at Gu."

Hearing this, Cen Hexing's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "Does Daddy know that there are Gu worms that can make a person's temperament change greatly?" ”

"What are you asking for?"

Cen Zhengfulang asked with some suspicion, and then continued, "You can't fight the idea of witchcraft, that's not a good thing." ”

"I know."

Cen Hexing explained in a low voice: "I heard my wife talk about a strange thing before, and I heard that it was a Gu worm, so I was a little curious. ”

I see.

Cen Zhengfulang nodded slightly, "I heard my friend mention that Gu worms that do have this effect will not only make people's temperament change greatly, but also make people break off their love and become the walking dead." It's just that this Gu worm is very difficult to cultivate, and it won't live for a thousand. ”

There really is!

Cen Hexing's hand trembled slightly, and his heart was horrified.

Could it be that in the past two years, his wife has treated him so coldly, all because of this Gu worm?

"Tsuruxing, what are you thinking?"

When Cen Zhengfulang saw that he was distracted, he whispered twice.

Cen Hexing came back to his senses and shook his head slightly, "I'm thinking, how can there be such a conscienceless thing in the world, it's really terrible." ”

"Otherwise, do you think Emperor Taizu made five expeditions to Dian Prefecture back then? It's not because the Gu technique in Dian Prefecture is too terrifying, if you don't take Dian Prefecture, Emperor Taizu is not at ease. ”

Cen Zhengfu Lang smiled, "But you don't have to worry too much, Emperor Taizu burned most of the witch Gu books in Dian Prefecture at the beginning, and now there are not many that can be handed down." ”

Cen Hexing nodded lightly, "I'm just curious, just ask." ”

The two then moved on to other things.

It won't be long before noon.

Yu Menghuan and Cen Hexing had two meals in Cen Mansion, and only after dark did they take a carriage back to the house slowly.

At the same time, in the brightly lit palace, the emperor was looking at a thick stack of investigation materials about Xu Zhizhi with the imperial concubine.

Xu Zhizhi, the youngest son of Guanzhonghou, has been loved by Guanzhonghou since he was a child.

Since childhood, he has received a good education, is a knowledgeable, gentle and generous good man, and the eldest daughter of the Minyang Marquis Mansion has some personal relations, the two sides are secretly determined for life, and the parents of both sides also know it, just wait for them to get married as soon as they are old.

But that all changed abruptly two years ago.

Xu Zhizhi became a lot more lively, and he hid from the people of the Hou Mansion, and opened many shops in private, making more money every year than the entire Hou Mansion.
