Chapter 151
In early spring this year, a flower viewing banquet had already been held in the palace. However, at that time, the Empress was personally in charge, and all the women of the third rank or above in the court were invited.
This time, it was held by the Empress Dowager Xu Shufei, who invited children from aristocratic families who were quite famous in Beijing and noble girls with noble identities.
It is called a flower viewing banquet, but in fact, everyone knows what flowers they are enjoying.
Therefore, when Qin Shu was introduced into the courtyard where the male guest was located by an internal official, he saw all the handsome and handsome men dressed up.
Qin Shu rarely appears in such palace banquets, but no one present doesn't know him. After a brief greeting, Qin Shu found a quiet pavilion to sit down and drank tea quietly.
Everyone has heard of his lonely temperament, and they are not surprised by it.
Not long after, someone sat down next to him.
Qin Shu turned his head and saw that it was Chu Chenjin, and was a little surprised: "In today's occasion, the eldest prince doesn't go to the front hall to wait for the summons. Why is it still in the mood to come here to have tea?"
Chu Chenjin said: "Don't worry, there will naturally be someone to look for it when the time comes."
"That's right. After all, this flower-watching banquet was specially held for the two princes."
Chu Chenjin glanced over, obviously not missing the teasing at the corner of Qin Shu's mouth.
"Are you watching the fun today?"
Qin Shu chuckled and took a sip of tea: "If the eldest prince is busy, wouldn't it be a pity if he missed it?"
"I don't mind someone watching the fun, I'm afraid that someone will not just watch the fun." Chu Chenjin said something.
Qin Shu slowly put away his smile and said straight to the point: "If the eldest prince wants to get what he wants, don't make things difficult for Cheng Xin again in the future. My Duke Anguo Mansion is not at the mercy of others."
Chu Chenjin suddenly realized: "It turns out that the young master is so polite to me, because he knows the deal between you and the princess."
Qin Shu didn't comment.
Chu Chenjin said again: "Don't worry, young master, she is the princess. If she hadn't been willing, even my highness would not be able to do so. However, I am very curious. If Princess Xinhe knew, you would react to what she did, I wonder what she would have done?"
Qin Shu's eyes were dark: "If you don't know, don't do it unless you do it. If you go to our government office in heaven, are you still afraid that I will know?"
"Haha, since you know everything, why bother to be angry?" Chu Chenjin raised the teacup on the table: "If things are done today, I, Chu Chenjin, will definitely come to my door to thank you with sincerity. At this time, I will use tea instead of wine, and I will toast you with a cup of wine first."
Qin Shu raised the teacup and said, "The eldest prince, this is only once, so I won't be the case."
"Your Highness cannot guarantee this book." Chu Chenjin suddenly said.
The next moment, footsteps came from the corridor, and someone said, "Fusang, it turns out that you are here, so I can find it easy."
Chu Xiaohan approached, sat next to Qin Shu, and said, "So the emperor is here too."
Chu Xiaohan and Chu Chenjin each have their own support in the court, and now the two factions are incompatible. But in fact, the two of them are not as tense as the outside world has said, and they are still as usual.
Not close or cold.
Chu Chenjin drank a cup of tea and said, "Second brother, you are here just right. Come and judge."
"Oh?" Chu Xiaohan looked at Qin Shu curiously: "What's wrong with Fusang? Have you had an argument with the emperor?"
This is really a strange thing. You must know that Qin Shu knows that he will not meddle in other people's business at any time, and does not have too much interaction with the eldest prince. It is a very strange thing to see them sitting together like this, let alone have disputes.
Qin Shu closed his eyebrows and spoke in a low voice: "As long as the eldest prince doesn't come to make things difficult for Cheng Xin in the future, if there is anything in the future, you can come and find me."
Chu Chenjin chuckled: "If the court officials heard this, they would think the young master is here to win me over."
Qin Shu glanced at Chu Chenjin. He probably knew that he had a close relationship with the second prince, so he said this in front of the second prince, revealing the relationship between the two.
I have to say that although the eldest prince is not particular about his work, he is still open-minded and disdainful to provoke his relationship with the second prince.
Qin Shu's tone was a little slower, and he explained for the first time: "It may be easier to get it to me than Cheng Xin, what the eldest prince wants to do."
"Haha, the young master is so bad. It's like today's banquet, how should I help?"
Chu Chenjin raised his eyebrows, not minding at all revealing his intentions: "Princess Xinhe is different. She can go deep into it and plan for me."
"Oh?" Chu Xiaohan was curious: "The emperor's brother is interested in which lady of aristocratic family, and he wants Cheng Xin to plan it."
Chu Chenjin glanced at Chu Xiaohan: "I thought the emperor's brother should know."
As soon as these words were spoken, Chu Xiaohan was slightly stunned, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.
Before he could say anything, Chu Chenjin stood up: "It's getting late, I will take the lead."
Seeing Chu Chenjin's departure, Chu Xiaohan's face turned pale, and he looked at Qin Shu: "He really plans to--"
Qin Shu said: "If you are interested, don't miss a good opportunity like today. Otherwise, after today, you will not reveal your thoughts about Miss Wen again."
He had known Chu Xiaohan for many years, and naturally he could detect his thoughts about Miss Wen.
But it depends on the eldest prince’s actions today and he will never give up. Especially in this matter, Cheng Xin helps him...
Chu Xiaohan was silent for a moment, suddenly stood up and left quickly.
Looking at his somewhat messy steps, Qin Shu sighed slightly.
...
"Empress Shufei, your yard is so beautiful." Sitting under the head of Shufei was Princess Shanrou. Her mother and Shufei were young friends and had a close relationship.
Concubine Shu held Xu Shan's hand intimately: "Shan'er, I think it's beautiful. You should come to the palace more often. I am so lonely on weekdays."
"Empress, I'm stupid, I'm afraid I'll come and complain." Xu Shan pursed her lips and laughed at herself.
"What did you say? I can't be happy even if I can have multiple people to talk to me."
"Yes, Empress Shu is the most kind. The Empress often asks me to learn these skills from her." The person who spoke was Princess Lanxiang sitting in the center. She saw her holding an exquisite glass bowl in her hand and lowering her head to play with her.
Her words were neither salty nor light, but suddenly the lively atmosphere became condensing.
Xu Shan stopped talking, and Concubine Shu smiled faintly and said, "The Empress is really a bit ridiculous. Compared with the fifth princess, your mother, this kind of concubine is simply not worth mentioning."
Princess Lanxiang was sank when she heard this.
Everyone knows that her mother's mother was furious because she said something wrong, and she was neglected after that.
The noble ladies present heard this and did not dare to speak out, for fear that Princess Lanxiang would get angry and implicate them.
