Seeing that the Queen Mother's tone was serious, Mama Xia was already really angry, so she immediately stepped forward and whispered comfort.

"His Royal Highness King Yu, follow the Queen Mother, don't make the Queen Mother angry."

Chu Yu still had a cold face.

The Queen Mother looked serious, and she lost the loving smile she had just had.

"Lian'er, Nan'er, you step back first, the mourning family has something to say to Yu'er."

Chu Lian and Chu Nan glanced at each other, and immediately got up and retreated.

Out of the side hall.

Chu Lian and Chu Nan walked out.

"Today in the Qinzheng Palace, the third brother and the fourth brother cooperate so tacitly, this king doesn't know when the fourth brother and the third brother are so close?"

Today, the three of them were summoned to the Qinzheng Palace, and the emperor asked about the situation that there were many vacancies in the official positions of the hundred officials in Kyoto, and wanted to ask them if they had any good recommendations.

Chu Lian used to be in the same vein as the prince, but he also privately established some of his relationship networks.

Now that he and the crown prince are officially opposed, in addition to the previous relationship network, Concubine Ling also secretly took care of a lot of people for him.

The fact that there are many vacancies in Kyoto's official positions is a good opportunity to install his own people in various parts of the court and the central government, and it can also better stabilize his position.

What Chu Lian never expected was that Chu Yu and Chu Nan unanimously said in front of the emperor that it was the responsibility of the emperor or the crown prince to appoint hundreds of officials, and they should not ask about it.

As soon as these words came out, Chu Lian's careful thoughts didn't know how to calculate, but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

When Chu Nan first returned to Kyoto, he obviously had a very good relationship with him, and even Zizhou was almost calculated by the crown prince because of his help.

How could it be that in just a few days, Chu Nan turned against each other and took refuge with a lame man?

Chu Nan listened to Chu Lian's doubts, and still put on a warm smile.

"The fifth brother's words are strange, as the imperial grandmother said, they are all brothers of the same clan, how can they be close or not."

The surprise on Chu Lian's face suddenly changed, and he let out a chuckle.

"The fourth brother is right, it's me who is too worried."

The two of them stopped talking and walked out of the hall.

Suddenly, Chu Nan stopped, still smiling lightly.

"The fifth brother, the fourth brother is the same as the third brother, there is no one behind him, and now the queen and the prince of the East Palace have been reprimanded, and the fifth brother has to share the worries of his father and the emperor."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Lian's face changed inexplicably, as if he was discerning Chu Nan's intention to say this, and he said coldly for a while.

"This king has always shared his father's worries."

Chu Nan's smile grew, and he even bowed his head slightly to show his approval.

"Yes, there is a noble concubine behind the fifth brother, and the status is naturally incomparable between the fourth brother and the third brother."

Chu Nan's tone was sincere when he said this, and in his heart, the current situation of the prince was really like this.

Chu Lian was a little fluttering, now that his mother concubine still has the right to associate the sixth palace, how can it not be precious.

After thinking about it, Chu Nan's words are not unreasonable, now is the time when the East Palace is lost, and he and his mother are proud.

If he didn't take this opportunity to set up the situation in the court, once the power of the East Palace rose again and the Lu family supported him, he would have no chance to live the crown prince in Doudi.

"The fourth brother laughed, mentioning that the mother concubine hadn't said goodbye to her for a long time, and the fifth brother quit to say goodbye to the mother concubine."

He had to discuss countermeasures with Concubine Ling as soon as possible, and place his people all over the court as much as possible to deal with the Lu family's henchmen.

Chu Nan looked at Chu Lian, who was hurrying away, and showed a meaningful smile.

On the other side, Qin Kexin took Su Youning and Nan Xiang for a walk in the garden.

On the thousand autumn days of Queen Lu, Su Youning saved the life of the Queen Mother, and then cleaned up the Kyoto ladies who wanted to give her a good look at that time, Qin Kexin did not reject Su Youning.

After all, Su Youning curry favor with Lu Huanting, who she dislikes the most.

And everyone knows that His Royal Highness King Yu has a strange temperament, Su Youning married into King Yu's Mansion not only did not lose half her life like the gossip spread all over Kyoto, but she was able to face in front of the Queen Mother, and asked His Royal Highness with a strange temperament to save her again and again.

All this couldn't help but make Qin Kexin glance at Su Youning.

"Princess Yu is not small, I heard that His Royal Highness King Yu has stood out in the palace for you several times."

Su Youning only smiled at Qin Kexin's slightly ridiculous and sarcastic words.

"Youning is a person from Yuwangfu, if His Royal Highness doesn't stand up for Youning, wouldn't everyone be able to see the jokes of Yuwangfu."

Qin Kexin smiled and turned his head to look at Nan Xiang, who had been absent-minded.

She knew that Concubine Zhe's will to ask the Queen Mother was what Nanxiang meant, even if Qin Kexin was not in the palace all the year round, she still knew some things.

"If the county lord can enter the palace of King Yu, Princess Yu will also have a companion in the future."

Su Youning bit her lower lip, and somehow, when she said that Nanxiang married into the Yuwang Mansion, she felt an inexplicable sourness in her heart.

"The matter has not yet been decided, and the county lord should not say anything more, so as not to make the county lord shy."

Qin Kexin had always disdained to please anyone, and glanced at Su Youning coldly.

A cold wind blew, and Qin Kexin gathered the big on his body.

"What Princess Yu said is that King Yu is not easy to move, and if he really wants a side concubine with his temperament, he is afraid that he would have gone to the emperor to ask for an edict a long time ago, so why let Concubine Zhe come to talk to the Queen Mother in person."

Qin Kexin thought that his analysis was right, and glanced at Nanxiang defiantly.

"County Lord, Ke Xin's analysis is correct?"

The phoenix hairpin on Su Youning's head had already made Nanxiang's formation chaotic, and when he heard Qin Kexin's words at this moment, his heart was already at a loss.

If in the past, Nan Xiang was very sure that she was a special case of Chu Yu.

But several times, Nan Xiang saw with his own eyes that the exception around Chu Yu was no longer her, and he barely squeezed out a smile.

"What the county lord said naturally makes sense."

"Today's autumn wind is cold, Nanxiang is a little unwell, so I won't accompany the county lord to enjoy the scenery."

Seeing Nan Xiang disappear into the garden with the two palace maids, Qin Kexin burst out laughing.

"It's really not funny."

Su Youning was also amused by such a lovely Qin Kexin.

"The county lord is not afraid that she won't be able to eat or sleep well when she goes back."

Qin Kexin snorted coquettishly.

"That's her business, do you still want to watch the scenery here? I'm going back to the Queen Mother. ”

Su Youning leaned over and saluted.

"If the county lord has something to do, just go and get busy, Youning is waiting for His Royal Highness King Yu here."

Qin Kexin raised her eyebrows slightly, and left without reluctance.

As soon as he walked out of the garden and walked onto the corridor, Qin Kexin saw at a glance the man in a white brocade robe standing with his hands in his hands on the corridor that came out of the side hall.

Qin Kexin stopped, and from her, she just saw the man's well-defined side face with a smile, maybe the weather was too cold, and the earlobe on the man's side was obviously red.

His heart beat faster for no reason, Qin Kexin's white and slender fingers tightened the cloak on his body, and he approached the man in white with light steps.

"In late autumn and early winter, after a heavy rain, the Fourth Highness has not even put on a cloak, isn't it cold?"

Chu Nan, who was originally watching Chu Lian leave, was secretly planning in his heart, and a delicate female voice broke into his mind.

Chu Nan turned his head to look at Qin Kexin, who was slightly red on the tip of his nose.

"Thank you for the county lord's concern, men are different from women, and I am in the rainy Jiangnan all year round, so this cold is nothing."

Qin Kexin knew a little about Chu Nan's life experience, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad when he heard him mention it so casually.

"His Royal Highness reminded Kexin of the Qianqiu banquet, but Kexin has not officially thanked His Highness yet."

"If you meet today, please bow to the Fourth Highness."
