"But I don't want you to lose what you've been doing for so long because of me, and the imperial concubine wants me to stand up, so she won't take me for a while. In fact, we can try to be false with her, this may not be a better way, you have now gone to the prince...... Didn't you say that between the crown prince and the three princes, the prince was at a disadvantage? ”

Su Xiaomu didn't understand these things in the court, but there was one thing she still knew.

The winner is king, and the loser is the loser.

The Heavenly Family has no blood relatives, and these princes are born to compete with each other, which is fate, and there are very few exceptions.

The crown prince is now the prince of a country, and with such a noble status, there is no way to fight against a prince.

Gu Jingcheng hastily stood in line without a perfect plan, I am afraid that it will bring a lot of trouble to his subsequent political affairs.

Because of himself, Su Xiaomu always had an indescribable sense of guilt in his heart.

Although she is like this now, it is also because of Gu Jingcheng.

But it's really hard to blame him, after all, Gu Jingcheng himself is trapped in the quagmire and can't extricate himself, and he still has no power to save himself.

"The crown prince is indeed at a greater disadvantage, but this kind of thing is not until the last moment, who can say for sure? Their power in the court is important, and their family in-laws are important, but more important is what Your Majesty means, and who Your Majesty wants to be on the throne is not something you and I can guess so easily. ”

Gu Jingcheng comforted Su Xiaomu and told her not to think so much.

"Don't worry, since there is always one day to stand in line, then of course I want to find a Ming Jun, the prince is benevolent and virtuous, this is his own good reputation for so many years of Lixian corporal, doing practical things for the people, you believe me, I chose His Royal Highness the Prince because he is a person worthy of being chosen."

The crown prince and the three princes are people who have no eyes, and they all know who to choose will make their lives better.

His Majesty did not show his jealousy at the moment, is it really not jealous of the three princes?

A prince with such a powerful maternal family, a prince who does not give the prince any face in the government and the opposition, His Majesty has no idea in his heart, and Gu Jingcheng does not believe it at all.

"Of course I believe you, it is you who run yourself in the court, of course, every step is to make your life better, but I still feel that I have made some mistakes in your plan."

The guilt in my heart continues, and I won't feel guilty because Gu Jingcheng said a few words, Su Xiaomu won't feel guilty.

"Relax, in addition to cooperating with the prince in this matter, I also found Lou to abandon, but I forgot to tell you, I am going to Jiangnan for disaster relief the day after tomorrow, you are afraid that you will not be able to see me for a few months, but you don't have to worry about me, I have a lot of experience in disaster relief, and I also have to thank you."

Gu Jingcheng raised his hand and rubbed Su Xiaomu's head affectionately, his tone and eyes were tight: "You can stay in the capital and wait for me with peace of mind, if everything goes well, it will be more than a month of hard work, and then I will bring you a lot of special products and silk silk after I come back from Jiangnan, don't you are used to saying that the silk in the capital is the best, but is it not as good as the local one in Jiangnan?" ”

Gu Jingcheng didn't understand these things of his daughter's family, but he believed what Su Xiaomu said.

As long as it is a business matter, he believes everything Su Xiaomu says.

The two of them were in this side hall, Su Xiaomu looked at Gu Jingcheng with red eyes, she tried her best to hold back the tears that fell down, and she also tried to restrain the guilt and sourness in her heart.

These emotions came to me almost instantly.

Su Xiaomu originally thought that Gu Jingcheng's matter of standing in line with the prince would not cause him trouble so soon.

After all, Gu Jingcheng is still the new champion this time, and if the third prince wants to rectify him, he has to wait for this year to pass, so Gu Jingcheng's presence in the court is not so strong.

I didn't expect these three princes to play their cards so unreasonably, calling Gu Jingcheng, a civil official who worked in the Hanlin Academy, to be responsible for disaster relief in Jiangnan one day.

At this time, at the turn of spring and summer, there was a lot of rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and the one who could go to the disaster relief at this moment was the flood in the south of the Yangtze River.

Floods are no worse than snow disasters, and it is not a disaster that can be solved by modifying houses and sending someone to shovel some snow.

Gu Jingcheng didn't grow up in Jiangnan, and the knowledge of the articles he wrote in the past was obtained from books nine times out of ten, so if he went first this time, he must have suffered from uncleanliness and unbearable exclusion.

But these are not easy for Su Xiaomu to ask him now.

After she clapped her hands and wiped away the tears on her face, she said Lou Qi: "What does this matter have to do with Lou Gongzi?" His identity, I'm afraid it's not good to mediate in it. ”

The prince of the Western Regions, even if he is covered with a layer of merchant skin, but now that he is in the capital, he should not be so arrogant, pointing fingers at the political affairs of the court.

Gu Jingcheng saw the suspicion in Su Xiaomu's eyes, and he didn't mean to hide it from Su Xiaomu, so he directly repeated what he had discussed with Lou Qi in front of Su Xiaomu.

"He has a caravan in Jiangnan, this flood came suddenly, his caravan also suffered a lot of damage, these were originally at the beginning of his caravan should report all the losses to the imperial court, the imperial court will help them according to the proportion of their usual taxes, but you also know that this matter needs to be signed by the principal, but the identity of his Western Regions people can't be wrapped in paper, and if he accidentally exposes his true identity, it will inevitably lead to a war between the two countries, so he can only rely on his own ability to quietly provide disaster relief."

Lou Qi finally managed to do the business in the north and south of Da Chen, so if there is a chance to reverse these transactions, he will not let go easily.

It's easy to make money, but it's hard to lay pipes to make money.

"So I know what to expect."

Su Xiaomu repeatedly muttered in her heart for disaster relief twice, and she already had an idea in her heart at this time.

When I left the palace gate, it was already dark.

Su Xiaomu was also frightened today, and he didn't have much appetite all day.

Gu Jingcheng originally wanted to take Su Xiaomu to Fanlou for dinner, but Su Xiaomu has been to Fanlou too many times in recent days, and at noon, in order to give benefits to employees, she ordered Fanlou to deliver eight times out of ten.

In this way, even if you eat too much delicious food, you will get tired, Su Xiaomu doesn't want to have nothing to do with Fanlou for the rest of his life.

So I plan to go back and cook something to eat by myself in the evening.

Gu Ruonan was waiting for Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng at home, the atmosphere at home was strange today, she was picked up by Sister Yangzi early, and she didn't go to the martial arts hall in the afternoon.

Su Xiaomu made a table of dishes at random, she and Gu Jingcheng were not in the mood to eat today, but the two of them still guarded Gu Ruonan together and ate two bowls of rice in a row, so they were satisfied and asked the seedlings to clean up, and Su Xiaomu took Gu Ruonan to wash.
