Chapter 57: The Only Chess Player
When the words landed, the audience was silent, only Fang Xu bent his lips.
Yuan Yi thought for a moment, suddenly brightened, and said with a smile, "Is the queen mother afraid that her sons will not attend the princess draft and lose the face of the nobles of the family?" ”
Queen Zhu didn't explain, but just said, "You weigh it yourself." ”
"Don't worry, the queen mother, the sons will do it well." Yuan Yi happily accepted this task, and swore solemnly, "When you get married in the future, your sons will definitely respect each other with the crown princess, and you will not favor one over the other." ”
"Whatever you want." Empress Zhu waved her hand, "Since your wish has come true, step down." ”
"Yes!" Yuan Yi stood up and beamed with joy, "Erchen retired." ”
When the words fell, he seemed to be eager to share the joy with his sweetheart, no longer looked at his superiors, turned around and ran away.
Looking at Yuan Yi's back, Fang Xu shook his head lightly and sighed.
This kid is completely ruined.
"Let my sisters see the joke." Queen Zhu looked tired, as if she had been drained of her spirit, "It's because the palace is incompetent and the control is not strict." ”
"Niangniang, where are you talking about this?" Shu Jieyu shook her head and said with a smile, "Our sisters are united, how can any sister laugh at her sister?" ”
I wish the queen smiled and felt some comfort in her heart, "This is thanks to Xiao Xu, if it weren't for her...... I'm afraid I can't make up my mind. ”
Fang Xu raised his lips and said softly, "Niangniang, just remember that no matter what time it is, you are the only chess player, and only you can judge the life and death of the other party." ”
Zhu Empress lowered her eyes and was quiet for a long time before turning her head to Mama Chang and said, "Mama, go and spread the two things that Xiao Xu said before, and be sure to let those big families hear the rumors." ”
Mama Chang didn't dare to say more, and took the order to leave the palace.
Queen Zhu's face was not good, and her voice was also low, "Now that you are here, who would be willing to marry your daughter to Yuan Yi?" ”
Fang Lan shook his head and gave an answer, "After this experience, the princess draft will definitely not succeed, and those big clans are afraid that they will push hard, and they wish they were unsightly to be selected." ”
"What we want is a draft failure." Fang Xu Wan'er smiled and looked calm, "If you want to inherit the unification, there are only two main points, one is the support of officials, and the other is the support of your wife." ”
"Now that the prince is not in court, most of the officials who supported him before are afraid that they are cold, and now when he marries a side concubine, the princess cannot be elected, without the protection of his wife, and he has lost the heart of the emperor and his mother, and the prince's future road is afraid that it will be difficult to walk."
Queen Zhu groaned slightly, and the disappointment in her eyes grew, "It's no wonder that others are doing this, I can only blame him for not having the ability to keep this son." ”
Empress Zhu's face was gloomy, and she said in a low voice, "When Your Majesty wanted to establish the crown prince, the palace felt that Yuan Yi's qualifications were mediocre and difficult to compete, and he was bent on the four princes to succeed to the throne. ”
"If it weren't for the hundreds of officials of the previous dynasty shouting to stand up for the chief, this prince ......" Queen Zhu sighed heavily, and her tone was complaining, "A few years ago, the prince invited himself to go down to the south of the Yangtze River to control the water, and the palace thought that he had changed his temperament and was more reliable, but now it seems to be ......"
After the words, Queen Zhu didn't say it clearly, just shook her head blindly.
Fang Xu stared at her for a long time, and felt uncomfortable in his heart, "Niangniang, when necessary, you have to make a choice." ”
Fang Lan and Shu Jieyu also catered to each other again and again.
Queen Zhu closed her eyes and nodded slowly, "The palace is tired, go and rest, and the sisters should retreat first." ”
"Yes."
The three of them walked out of Yikun Palace together, Shu Jieyu's face collapsed, and she said coquettishly, "Sisters, the queen is like this, I feel really uncomfortable looking at it." ”
"This matter can only be seen step by step." Fang Lan patted her hand and comforted her softly, "Fate is determined by heaven, there are causes and effects, all are fates." ”
Fang Xu didn't say a word, and walked silently to the side.
"Little Sister Xu," Shu Jieyu called, her tone adoring, "Where did you come from so many ways to cook people, but you stunned me!" ”
Fang Xu raised the corner of his lips and said softly, "Xu is because of ...... I have experience. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound around the corner, and in a short time, a young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old walked out.
When Fang Lan and Shu Jieyu saw the comer, they stopped and saluted, "Fourth prince." ”
Fang Xu didn't know why, but fortunately, he would follow suit and salute.
The young man has comfortable eyebrows and eyes, looks heroic, has a dull look on his face, wears an ink-colored brocade robe, a green jade ribbon, and a tall posture, exuding an unapproachable alienation.
Seeing the three of them, the young man paused, bent over and saluted, "Yuan Chen has seen his uncle and Shu Jieyu, this is ......"
Yuan Chen bent down towards Fang Xu, and when he asked, he didn't raise his eyes to look at Fang Xu.
It's a polite one.
"Fourth prince, this is Mrs. Yongcheng Hou, the sister-in-law of Princess Zhan." Shu Jieyu smiled and relieved Yuan Chen's confusion.
Yuan Chen was clear, and his attitude softened a little, "I've seen Mrs. Yongcheng Hou." ”
"The four princes don't have to be polite." Fang Xu smiled and agreed, and at the same time looked at him secretly.
Hearing the response, Yuan Chen straightened up and his eyes fell on the three of them, "The three of them came out of the mother's harem?" ”
Fang Lan nodded, smiling, "That's right, the fourth prince is going to visit the queen mother?" ”
"Exactly." Yuan Chen still didn't have any other expression, like a piece of wood, "Father went to the school today to ask for a lesson, and when he saw me, he said that the queen mother was in a bad mood in recent days, so I came to take a look." ”
"In the end, it's better for you to be careful." Shu Jieyu shook her head and sighed, and whispered, "It's just that now, I'm afraid you won't be able to go." ”
"Why?" Yuan Chen paused, frowning, "But something went wrong in Yikun Palace?" ”
"The matter...... It's hard for a few of us to say. Fang Xu took over the conversation and said with a smile, "If the fourth prince wants to accompany the queen mother more, it is better to come back tomorrow." ”
“…… Okay," Yuan Chen lowered his eyelids and said softly, "Then I'll go back first." ”
Yuan Chen bent down towards the three of them, and only retreated after saluting.
"Alas, for some reason, the appearance of the prince in my mind is like the fourth prince!" Shu Jieyu looked melancholy and shook her head helplessly.
"Yuan Chen is also pitiful in the end, he is top-notch in everything, and he is a son-in-law, but because he is the second son, he is pressed by Yuan Yi in everything." Fang Lan also felt a pity, and couldn't help but feel unfair.
"Be cautious, be careful that the wall has ears." Fang Xu pulled the two of them and said in a low voice, "If this word spreads, the three of us will wait to lose our heads!" ”
Shu Jieyu subconsciously covered her mouth and nodded desperately.
"Don't talk about us, you better weigh yourself!" Fang Lan glanced at her with disgust, and said softly, "The crown princess draft, our family can't run away in the evening boat and have to report it, the wives of those big clans are pushing around, maybe they will be pushed on you!" ”
Fang Xu was stunned for a moment, and then was shocked.
Grass!
Forget about it!
