Mother Shen shivered when she thought of the looks in everyone's eyes when Jiang Shuhua was locked up.
Then she heard Mrs. Xie continue: "Such a person only has herself in her eyes. She can't see what others have done for her. Even if others are very kind to her, as long as one day she discovers even half of it."
If something is not good, then all the good things in the past will be completely wiped out, and instead, hatred will arise because of it.
Even the half of the bad thing is what she thinks in her heart. Do you think I can't be afraid of such a person, who is paranoid, selfish and cold-blooded?"
Shen's mother felt really terrible when she heard what the old lady said, but when she thought about it, Jiang Shuhua was just a prostitute. Although she was very much favored by the prince in the palace, if she was a woman like her, she would have no influence on the whole society.
The Xie family is at a disadvantage...
"What do you think of our prince?"
Seemingly seeing through what she was thinking, Mrs. Xie suddenly looked at her with a half-smile and asked.
Mother Shen didn't know how to answer. This was a discussion about the current prince. Just by doing this, she was breaking the law.
Mrs. Xie smiled and said: "Come on, we are the master and servant here. What can't we say? If we can't say it in front of me, are you planning to say something similar in your dream?"
Shen's mother couldn't help laughing when she heard this, "Old madam, you know that I have always been timid. Not to mention Your Highness, even the empress in the palace, that one, even the servants would not dare to talk nonsense."
Mrs. Xie also knew for sure that the person in front of her had always been cautious, otherwise she would not have been able to survive until now.
So she thought to herself and said: "The prince will not be a wise king. Foolishness may not be summed up in one word, but there is probably no hope for a wise king.
In the past, a third prince could make him, who had both the direct lineage, the eldership, and the title of prince, be at a disadvantage several times. Although it was because of His Majesty, he himself was really too incompetent.
Finally, the third prince left. It was supposed to be the time for him to show off his skills and win back the people's hearts. But what did he do? The first thing he did was to clean the blood from the court.
He also doesn’t want to think about it. The third prince is gone, so what can these people do even if they disobey him? Are they really waiting for the sixth and seventh princes to grow up? Can your Majesty’s body survive? Do they dare to gamble with these people? "
Although Mother Shen didn't know much about these important events in the court, she had been with her master for a long time and listened to his talk a lot, so she could understand the general relationship between them.
Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Perhaps it was because the Queen was here in the past and many things were arranged for His Highness so well that now that the Queen is gone, Your Highness is at a loss."
Mrs. Xie sneered when she heard this, "Logically, you should be able to understand these things when you are a teenager, but he didn't. It only shows that he has never learned the so-called emperor's skills.
"
In this case, Mother Shen naturally did not dare to speak up and just listened quietly.
Mrs. Xie then continued: "As for the rest of the matter, although the matter of the Little New Year Banquet is complicated and confusing, there should be several forces involved.
Even if the final murderer is not found out, what Concubine Zhao did is certain. Just like that, the Zhao family should be punished. But look at the current situation.
Then the Zhao family still considers themselves to be relatives, why? Naturally, it is for the sake of the former crown princess, a wife who was not cherished while alive, but was used as evidence of deep love after death. It was just his self-impression. Not only was he so moved that he couldn't help but
He behaves normally and has others praise him for his affection.
In fact, not only will this not make people think that he is a prince who values affection and righteousness, it will only make people feel confused.
Besides, is it really that difficult to find out who did the New Year's Eve banquet? He is now the actual ruler of Daqi. In this position, it doesn't matter whether there is evidence or not. What is important is that he can
Can't tell who that person is.
When she mentioned this, an idea flashed in Mother Shen's mind, "Old madam, what you are talking about is..."
"Let's see who benefits the most?"
Mother Shen thought that was indeed the case, but she still wasn't sure, "But... didn't Concubine Ye commit suicide out of fear of crime? Or..."
"Concubine Ye?" Madam Xie chuckled, "How did Concubine Ye ever think about entering the palace? When the imperial edict was issued, the British princess went to the palace to beg for mercy, hoping to take back her life. The British
My father-in-law is not a fool. How dare you ask for such a thing casually?
In the final analysis, it was because she had raised the girl with her own hands and went there for her, so the girl from the Ye family did not want to enter the palace at all.
Not to mention that after entering the palace, she was not favored at all, and she did not have the skills to be a prince. She learned the skills of using the relatives behind the woman very well, otherwise she would not have come up with such a trick to win over our family.
With his temperament, even if he didn't like the girl from the Ye family, he would still get close to her for the sake of the British Duke. But as everyone saw, the girl from the British Duke was still unfavored, so this can only mean that
, that child of the Ye family simply doesn’t want to get involved in the disputes in the Eastern Palace and the Harem.”
Mother Shen was confused, "But in this case, what about the New Year's Eve banquet..."
"It's in this palace!" Mrs. Xie sighed, "It's true that it's a big dyeing vat. Have you forgotten who she was? What a good girl she was back then, what did she become when she entered the palace?
That’s it.”
Only then did Mother Shen remember that Mrs. Xie was talking about an old friend from many years ago, but that old friend passed away so early that even she could no longer remember him.
"Now that you've entered the palace! You can't help yourself with many things," Mrs. Xie sighed, "Jiang Shuhua may not necessarily be great at other things, but he must be very good at self-interested things. Who knows?
What did she do behind the scenes?"
The more Mother Shen listened, the more she felt a chill in her body. She looked at Madam Xie with a bit of worry in her eyes, "But Madam... the Fourth Prince..."
Mrs. Xie's brows also wrinkled, looking very distressed. After a long while, she sighed, then looked at the old servant who had been following her for many years and said: "Fuyu, I can't help it. In this situation, except for
Fourth prince, who else is there?
The Sixth Prince had kept a low profile all his life, but in the end he was ruined by his own support. Only then did he expose himself in such a hurry.
The seventh prince has more thoughts, but unfortunately, he has been following the third prince and has not learned any other skills. Pretending to be profound is exactly the same.
Coupled with the prince's unspeakable tricks before, you can see how many people in the entire court are actually following him.
Relatively speaking, only the fourth prince is more down-to-earth. Although he has been doing things silently and without distinction over the years, he has never made a big mistake.
The most important thing is that he has been suppressed for so many years, but he has not lost his will, and he has done one thing after another, doing it low-key and perfectly.
From the perspective of the prince, choosing him is much better than the others."
These words can be said to be treasonous, but Shen's mother has been shocked so many times by today's conversation that she has become calm now and does not feel any discomfort.
Mrs. Xie looked at the bustling crowd outside the window, and she didn't know if she was telling Shen's mother, or just muttering to herself casually, "And haven't you noticed that in fact, there are many fourth princes hidden in this court?"
