Tang Shuyi chatted with the concubine for a while, and then went out together to walk around the courtyard outside. Although this house used to belong to the King of Ease, the concubine never came once after it was built, and it happened that Tang Shuyi accompanied her to take a look at the scenery in the house.

After walking for a while, the three of them sat down by a gazebo, chatting while enjoying the scenery. Tang Shuyi talked about playing with several ladies a few days ago, and then said as if unintentionally: "Mrs. Zhang also said that she saw the Seventh Prince at the banquet in the palace last time, and he was skinny, and his clothes were short enough to cover his feet. ”

When the concubine heard her words, she thought for a while and asked, "Is it Concubine Ming's child?" ”

Tang Shuyi nodded, "It seems to be, it's quite pitiful to say, he was only a few years old when Concubine Ming went." ”

The concubine didn't answer, and Tang Shuyi naturally didn't mention it again, and talked about other things. We played together for a morning, and lunch was also served at the clubhouse.

During the meal, the concubine kept paying attention to Xiao Yuzhu, and when she saw what she liked to eat, she said that when she went to the palace, she would cook it for her. Xiao Yuzhu didn't squirm, and said with a smile directly, and the concubine was even happier.

After resting for a while after lunch, the concubine was about to leave, and Tang Shuyi and Xiao Yuzhu sent her to the gate. The concubine pulled Xiao Yuzhu and said reluctantly: "I must go to the palace in two days." ”

Xiao Yuzhu nodded, and said, "Concubine, you make me a horseshoe cake to eat." ”

"Okay, I'll do it for you."

The concubine got into the carriage with a smile on her face, and the smile on her face did not go down until the carriage had gone far away. She said to the grandmother sitting opposite: "When I get older, I like children, and I am happy to see Yuzhu's child." ”

Mama also had a smile on her face, "Then let the county lord go to the palace often." ”

The concubine sighed after hearing her words, "I tested Mrs. Yongning Hou today and wanted to recognize Yuzhu as my goddaughter, but she didn't answer my words. She still has too many concerns! ”

"Just now, Mrs. Yongning Hou mentioned the Seventh Prince, and the old slave felt that she shouldn't have said it casually." Mama said.

The concubine frowned and pondered for a while, "After the year, Yuzhu was in distress in the palace, saying that he was rescued, but I don't know who the person who saved him is, could it be the Seventh Prince?" ”

Mama also looked thoughtful, "Possibly." ”

The concubine was silent for a while, and then sneered, "If you really want to succeed, this Xiao Qi is not impossible." Turn around and look at the kid. ”

Mama replied yes.

........

Tang Shuyi mentioned the Seven Princes to the concubine, naturally he didn't say it casually. The reason why she said that was to test whether the King of Freedom was really not dead. If King Xiaoyao hadn't died, the concubine would not have given him a stepchild. After all, the King of Freedom is not very old, and if he wants to stay behind, he will be born by himself.

Another reason is that if the concubine really wants to give King Xiaoyao a stepchild, it will be an opportunity for the Seventh Prince. Although it is said that as long as a prince has the possibility of inheriting the throne, it is really not difficult for a prince of the cold palace who does not have any support to inherit the throne.

If the Seventh Prince succeeds to King Xiaoyao, at least food, clothing, and reading are not a problem, not to mention that he can inherit the title of the prince, isn't it much better than him living in the cold palace?

Of course, if it is passed to King Xiaoyao, it is not impossible to inherit the throne, but it is just as difficult. The other sons of the Emperor Nad are dead, but now the Emperor has five sons, the eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince, the sixth prince, and the seventh prince.

Let's not talk about other princes, even the eldest prince is not so easy to die. The eldest prince is a well-known good woman, but her ability is mediocre. But he has a good family, his grandfather is Taifu, and several uncles also hold great power, and now the court of the Daqian Dynasty, although it cannot be said that the Taifu family is dominant, but it is also a very large force, and other princes can't compare with him.

And in the book, the last emperor to be the eldest prince is the eldest prince.

Thinking of the eldest prince, Tang Shuyi squinted his eyes....

Picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, putting aside those speculations, she remembered that she had mentioned the Seventh Prince in front of the concubine just now, but the concubine didn't answer her words, and she couldn't guess what the concubine meant for a while. However, she did her best.

Today, the concubine also tentatively proposed to recognize Yuzhu as her granddaughter, but she subconsciously didn't want to agree, so she didn't answer her words. The concubine suddenly treated them inexplicably, although she could see that the concubine had no malicious intentions, but her true intentions were not known, and she could not risk her daughter.

Therefore, it is nothing to have more contact with the concubine on weekdays, but when it comes to children and big interests, she will still be cautious and cautious.

After sitting in her big window "office" for a while, Tang Shuyi took Xiao Yuzhu home. But when I got out of the gate of the hall and was about to get into the carriage, I saw Princess Changping's carriage stop not far away.

Since she touched it, she couldn't pretend that she couldn't see it, so she walked over with Xiao Yuzhu. It just so happened that Princess Changping also got off the carriage, and Tang Shuyi and Xiao Yuzhu saluted her, "The princess is fine." ”

Princess Changping glanced at their mother and daughter, snorted and said, "Excuse me." ”

Tang Shuyi and Xiao Yuzhu got up, and listened to Princess Changping say again: "Mrs. Yongning Hou still has a grudge against this palace?" ”

Tang Shuyi was stunned for a moment, "Why did the princess say this?" ”

Princess Changping snorted again, "This little girl of your family almost died in the palace, don't you suspect this palace?" ”

Tang Shuyi is really speechless, this princess really likes to play straight balls!

"The princess is too careful, and the courtiers understand that the princess was also used by someone that time." Tang Shuyi didn't want to have a grudge with Princess Changping, this princess didn't have any ill will towards them.

"You're pretty smart." Princess Changping glanced at Xiao Yuzhu as she spoke, and took a jade bracelet from her hand, probably because she felt that the weight of a bracelet was too light, and she took off a piece of mutton fat white jade jade from her waist, handed it to the maid beside her, and said: "This little girl of your family looks very pleasing, and this palace likes it." ”

The maid took the bracelet and the jade pendant, walked up to Xiao Yuzhu with a smile, and stuffed the things into her hands. Xiao Yuzhu turned her head to look at Tang Shuyi, Tang Shuyi nodded at her, Xiao Yuzhu stepped forward and saluted Princess Changping again, "Princess Xie." ”

Princess Changping hummed lightly, looked at Tang Shuyi again and said, "Are you going back to the house?" ”

Tang Shuyi bowed, "Yes." ”

"I've heard that your hall is good, and this palace has been waiting for you to invite this palace." Although Princess Changping said this in her mouth, there was no anger on her face. She came today to ease her relationship with the Marquis of Yongning.

Tang Shuyi also understood what she meant, and hurriedly said: "Complain about me, the main reason is that the courtiers are afraid that the princess will not like this kind of place." ”

"Then let's go check it out." Princess Changping said and walked inside, and Tang Shuyi could only lead Xiao Yuzhu to follow.
