Chapter 636 Xiliang's plan is very big, can't be with him
"For the snow disaster in the North? What does this snow disaster have to do with their plum blossom feast?"
"Is it possible that we got together to recite a few poems? I heard that although Miss Gu has a very bad reputation, her poems are excellent."
"What did you hear? No one said before that she couldn't write such poetry at her age and experience. They just found someone to write it for her."
"No, is it true or false?"
"I do know that the Plum Blossom Appreciation Banquet held by the Huainan Palace is to raise money for disaster relief. Now many people have said that Miss Gu is kind-hearted and considers the people of the North."
"Miss Gu really has a good idea. The ladies are the ones who paid for it, but all the credit and reputation belong to her."
"Are your family members planning to go?"
"Go, why don't you go? This invitation is sent in the name of Prince Huainan's Palace. Even if you don't give face to Miss Gu, you should give face to Prince Huainan's Palace."
"It's really weird. The Huainan Palace is determined to contribute to the North. Isn't there still Concubine Shen? Why not let Concubine Shen come forward? Why must such a woman with a ruined reputation come forward?"
"If the female members of our family go to her appointment, is she worthy? Even if her reputation has not been damaged, her identity is unknown, and she is just a concubine at most. How can she represent the Huainan Palace?"
"That's exactly what it means."
"Prince Rong, are those from your family going?"
Rong Xun listened quietly. When he saw someone asking him, he nodded: "Since you are invited and it is for the people of the North, I will naturally go. However, it is cold in winter and my mother is old. It is just my wife who is going." .”
"What about Mrs. Ninth?" someone asked.
"Of course I'm going." Rong Xun took a leisurely sip of tea.
Ming and Xie Yixiao received the invitation and discussed it before. The two sisters planned to go there. Although they would have to pay some money to go to the plum appreciation banquet, the Huainan Palace wanted to raise money for the people in the north. In the name of providing disaster relief, they still want to go.
The Huainan Palace took this money and really used it on the people of the North. It was considered a good deed. If it was not used on the people, they would be in bad luck.
It was indeed a good deed to raise money for Baixin, who suffered a snowstorm in the north, but Gu You's identity was too embarrassing, which aroused dissatisfaction from many families in the Imperial City.
At this time, Concubine Shen in the Huainan Palace also approached Li Chongyang about this matter.
"We have to hold a plum blossom appreciation banquet and raise money for disaster relief. There is no princess in the house, so why don't we still have my concubine here? What do you mean by leaving this matter to Gu You? Don't you think she has a good reputation outside? Do you know?"
"In the past two days, many people have asked me why I let such a woman come forward and let them come to an appointment with a concubine. Isn't this a slap in their face?"
"I know." Li Chongyang said calmly.
"You know? You still do this after knowing it?" Concubine Shen couldn't help but raise her voice and walked back and forth in the room twice, obviously very annoyed.
When Li Chongyang saw that she was angry, he simply shut up and refused to explain.
The idea of providing relief to the people who suffered from the snowstorm in the North was actually proposed by Gu You, saying that the people there were very pitiful, and the dignitaries and their families in the Imperial City could rebuild their homes for them by donating some money.
Li Chongyang thought about it and thought it was a good idea.
In the past few days, many jokes have been made in the Huainan Palace, and its reputation has been ruined a lot. If this matter can be handled well, it will be of great benefit to the reputation of the Huainan Palace.
At least it can change some people's view of him, thinking that he is a prince who cares about the people, not some romantic prince who only knows how to mess around with women. In the past, he wanted to hide his clumsiness, fearing that he would be jealous of the emperor if he showed too much talent, but now he I just want to change the world's impression of Prince Huainan's Mansion.
As for why he agreed to Gu You to handle this matter, the reason was similar, in order to change the world's view of Gu You.
Although many people now have strong opinions about Gu You handling this matter on behalf of the Huainan Palace, this impression will change once the matter is settled.
Gu You's child was gone, and Li Chongyang was also very sad. He reflected on his previous mistakes, and gradually understood his feelings for Gu You. Although he also liked Gu You before, he mostly used them to scheme and exploit him, but now he is Mostly sincerely, he really wants to marry her as his princess now.
Because of what he had done before, he felt sorry for her, and he mostly indulged her to please her. He was indeed very annoyed and angry about the matter between Gu You and Prince Suye, but he really couldn't argue with her, so he had to endure it for the time being. .
Seeing that he didn't speak, Concubine Shen became even more angry: "You are speaking! Who is she, worthy of representing our Prince Huainan Palace? There are so many women in the world, why do you like such a despicable woman? "
Li Chongyang was a little tired and didn't bother to argue with his mother. He knew that even if he argued, there would be no results, so why bother.
"Even if you don't like Mingzhu, then Princess Zhaorou, as long as you marry Princess Zhaorou and establish a relationship with Xiliang, Xiliang will be available to you in the future. Who can look down on you then? Our Huainan Palace?"
Concubine Shen was very proud of the fact that Princess Xiliang had taken a liking to her son, and thought it was a good opportunity. She was even willing to settle for the next best thing and let her niece be her concubine.
Probably because she longs for power and status too much in her heart, as long as she has the opportunity to get it, she is willing to do anything.
"Xiliang's plans are too big to be associated with them." Although Li Chongyang was ambitious and wanted the world, he still remembered that this world was conquered by his ancestors and could not tolerate Xiliang's coveting.
If he really conspires with Xiliang, he will definitely give benefits. Such benefits are very likely to cede mountains and rivers. This is what he does not want to see. Even if one day they fight to the death, it is their business, no May allow outsiders to take advantage.
"There is no need to talk about Princess Zhaorou anymore."
"But......"
"Even if we are willing, Your Majesty will not agree to a Xiliang princess marrying into the Huainan Palace. Why should the mother-in-law bother about it?"
Concubine Shen was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth: "He doesn't like us so much? Does he have to trample us under his feet before he gives up?"
At this point, her tears rolled down and her eyes were so red that she said, "Your grandfather is dead, what else does he want? The world belongs to him, what else does he want? He wants us all to die, so he Will you let us go?"
Obviously this world should belong to them!
If Prince Zhaoming had not died, he would have ascended to the throne of God, and her husband was also an emperor, and she was the empress and the mother of a nation.
Even if her husband is gone, she can still be the Queen Mother! She is the most noble woman in Dongming!
