The prince said: "Ninth brother, please tell me if you have anything to say."

The word "please" is used, and the words are already quite polite.

Chu Yu said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xu is an honest man, but he is old, his son died young, and his grandson is too young, so he has no successor.

However, as far as I know, he has a distant nephew who defected to him the year before last year. On the surface, he was known as an elegant gentleman, but in reality he was a lustful person who was nostalgic for windy and snowy places.

Not long ago, Wu Qinghuai's younger brother Wu Qinghe helped to pay off a lot of debts he owed in Hualou. Therefore, the Minister of Household Affairs also owed favor to the Wu family.

In fact, as long as the conflict between the two of them is increased, everything will be easily resolved."

"Wu Qinghuai intends to win over him, and the Minister of Revenue owes him favors and money. It's not that easy to destroy the relationship between the two," the prince said.

Chu Yu's eyes were condensed, "If the prince trusts me, you can leave this matter to me."

The prince was naturally satisfied that he could help solve such a difficult matter without having to take action himself.

He smiled softly and raised his teacup, "Then take a seat and wait for the good news from Ninth Brother."

Nie Yuan came to visit in the name of worship, and they met in private. After the matter was discussed, he did not stay here for long and left quietly.

There were only two of them left in the room. After all, they were once diametrically opposed, and the atmosphere became a bit awkward.

The prince gently moved the tea and spoke first: "Originally, the Queen Mother planned to send two maids to serve Concubine Rong, but Concubine Rong doesn't seem to like strangers very much."

"My mother-in-law has always liked purity, and my little brother took the prince's kindness seriously." Chu Yu had a light smile on his face, but his lacquer-colored eyes were as deep as ever.

In fact, the conflict between the two people can be traced back to the time when his father was the general of Chu in the Dayan Dynasty.

At that time, General Chu's wife was Chu Yi's mother. Later, General Chu married Princess Rong'er, who was known as the first princess.

Princess Ronger has a noble status, so naturally she cannot take a concubine, but marry with honor.

Princess Ronger will be your main wife after you marry her.

At that time, General Chu's first wife was Chu Yi's mother, so she vacated her position and became a concubine.

It was not until four years later that the Chu generals rebelled and directly usurped the throne and became emperor themselves.

That day, when the palace door opened, corpses were everywhere and blood flowed like a river. Except for Princess Rong'er and three-year-old Chu Yu, no one from the previous dynasty was killed.

None of the others were left.

Princess Rong'er was also demoted from the position of head wife to concubine Rong, and was relegated to the cold palace.

Chu Yi's mother, who had been wronged for many years, was named queen.

The conflict between Chu Yi and Chu Yu is the current queen's unwillingness to deal with those years.

Therefore, Concubine Rong, who was the orphan of the previous dynasty, and Chu Yu, who was half of the bloodline of the previous dynasty, became a thorn in the eyes of their mother and son.

Secretly, for so many years.

At this moment, for the sake of "profit", they sat together calmly drinking tea and chatting.

It's just that he has his own little plan secretly inside.

After two cups of tea, the prime minister finished seeing off the guests and took the time to come over.

The prime minister looked at the two people in front of him.

One is his son-in-law, a dignified current prince.

One is the future son-in-law, the ninth prince of the current dynasty.

In the past year, many people around the prince have turned to the sixth prince, and the prince's position is in danger.

And this Ninth Prince performed outstandingly whether he was suppressing bandits in the Southern Territory or in banning Ban Meng in the South China Sea.

This is a talented person with means. If such a person cannot become the Sixth Prince, he must either be killed or win over to become their person.

However, they chose the latter.

However, over the years, he was one of the people who targeted the mother and daughter, and now this man has become his future son-in-law.

Seeing the Ninth Prince, the two of them were somewhat embarrassed.

This matter was the result of the prince. The prince eased the awkward atmosphere and said proactively: "Speaking of which, this is the first time that the ninth brother has visited the prime minister since he was granted a marriage by his father."

Chu Yu calmly suppressed all the emotions in his heart, and said respectfully, "I was supposed to come to visit during the Chinese New Year, but I was ill all winter, so I delayed it. I didn't find the Prime Minister and his wife leaving in such a hurry. Doctor, please

Did you say you contracted some disease?"

The Prime Minister sighed and sat down with his hands on the table and chairs. "My wife always eats fast and prays for Buddha. On February 2, she went to the mountain to worship and pray for blessings. She fell ill before she came back. Yun'er asked the imperial doctor and said she had a sudden heart attack.

, Alas, this disease came so quickly, and I was not prepared."

"Life and death are unpredictable. Prime Minister, please bear with me and accept the change." Chu Yu comforted him.

The prime minister sent someone to move the dining table here.

The host was the prime minister's concubine, Du Shi, who was also Wei Jiayi's biological mother.

Today, it was the Crown Princess’ biological mother who passed away.

After the dishes were laid, the Crown Princess and Wei Jiayi, who were guarding the mourning hall, were invited over.

As soon as the Crown Princess entered the door, she saw the bright gold hairpin on Aunt Du's head.

Her mother is dead, and this Aunt Du not only dresses up, but also talks to the Ninth Prince with a smile and proposes marriage!

The Crown Princess sneered, raised her eyes, and looked over, "I'm afraid I've forgotten that daughters must observe filial piety for their mothers for three years. Jiayi's marriage will naturally be discussed after three years!"

The atmosphere in the hall changed instantly. The Crown Princess's words made Aunt Li's face look increasingly ugly.

Three years? Then Jiayi is already over 20 and has become an old girl. Jiayi is not the biological daughter of the first wife, so why should she keep her filial piety for her mother for three years?

Wei Jiayi, who followed the Crown Princess into the house, was so angry that she almost vomited blood. How could she have such a clumsy mother who held her back when she mentioned marriage at the funeral?

She walked over to Mrs. Du and tugged on her mother's sleeve.

Aunt Du frowned, "Why are you always dragging me down?"

When no one was paying attention, Wei Jiayi pulled out the golden hairpin from her head and warned in a low voice, "The Crown Princess is here, please calm down."

Aunt Du took the hairpin from her hand and glanced at the Crown Princess. She had been frustrated all her life and finally survived until the death of the principal wife.

Moreover, she was only concerned about the marriage between the two of them and didn't mention it much. As for showing her face in front of so many people.

"Filial piety comes first. I have long heard that the third lady of the Wei family is gentle and filial. Jiayi and I are still young, and I..." Chu Yu covered his lips and coughed twice, "I have to take good care of this body.

It’s really not suitable to get married now.”

Du was so anxious that she was about to speak when the Prime Minister looked at Du and said coldly, "Okay, you have nothing to do here, go down and take care of Xuan'er."

This Wei Qingxuan is Du's son, and he has been raised in the eldest lady's room since he was a child. Once the eldest lady dies, her son will return to her room.

When Mrs. Du heard this, she immediately forgot about her recent marriage.

The reason why Chu Yu did not attack the Du family, but chose to attack the eldest lady.

Even if he is afraid that this Du family will be in decline, his death may not have any impact on his marriage.

And this eldest lady is the mother of the Crown Princess. After what happened just now, his wedding will definitely be postponed.

In three years, he just needs to move quickly.
