Even though the prince and the third prince were fighting to marry the daughter of the Xie family, everyone knew it even though they didn't say it openly.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Yufeng was a person who did not act according to common sense. In the end, the matter between the two princes and the Xie family daughter ended up in the current situation.
In fact, the prince was not dissatisfied at all with the current situation. On the contrary, he was even a little proud.
Even though the incident at the Princess's Mansion caused him a great deal of humiliation, it also made some of his subordinates a little dissatisfied with him, and there were a lot of people in the court who wanted to criticize him for this matter.
But in the final analysis, he was not seriously injured.
After the Dengzhou incident, this damage became minimal.
The Dengzhou incident was a big blow to the third prince. Even though the prince lost some reputation due to this incident, it was nothing compared to the actual losses suffered by the third prince.
Therefore, for the prince, facing the third prince at this time, he felt somewhat proud of himself.
He didn't take the third prince's sour words seriously.
But after I sat down in my seat, I felt somewhat unhappy.
Inexplicably, it reminds me of Jiang Baolin's face.
To be honest, in the eyes of the prince who was used to seeing beauties, Jiang Shuhua's appearance was not really outstanding. At most, it could only be regarded as delicate. Under the careful dressing, there were some merits.
He had no idea about such a person.
The scandal has happened, and you have to admit it even if you don't admit it. If she can do such a ridiculous thing, just let her fend for herself in her own backyard.
But who would have expected that in the past few months, he actually found that he had a tendency to run towards her.
It's not because she spoiled her own child. This kind of thing is something a woman can do.
It's not that there's anything special about her. None of the women in the backyard who want to please him have any special skills.
But he didn't know why, he just felt comfortable staying at her place.
He liked the way she spoke softly, liked the way she looked into his eyes like a pool of spring water in her mouth, and liked her calmness and calmness.
But what the third prince said just now really made the prince feel a little disturbed.
Could it be that at that time, the third child was really attracted to Jiang Shuhua?
Or is it that the two people have made a private covenant?
Otherwise, given the temperament of the third child, how could he possibly open his mouth to Concubine Gao?
Combined with Jiang Shuhua's consistent attitude in the East Palace, the prince seemed to suddenly have an idea.
The real reason why she doesn't care about anything is that she doesn't care about herself at all.
Then why did you deliberately climb into his bed in the first place?!
The prince's face became more and more ugly. The third prince saw this in his eyes and finally felt a little relieved.
However, he changed his mind.
From this point of view, Jiang Shuhua was quite capable. The mother-in-law did not allow her to marry her as her concubine. One reason was that she was afraid of arousing suspicion from her father, and the other reason was that she believed that Jiang Shuhua was not a law-abiding person.
At first he was very dissatisfied with his mother-in-law's evaluation, but now it seems that maybe the mother-in-law is right.
She had easily let him have the idea of marrying her as his concubine at the beginning, and he really thought that she was full of love for him.
But it didn't take long now. She entered the East Palace with that status, and she attracted the prince's attention so quickly.
The third prince couldn't help but feel that he was a little ridiculous back then.
In the first month of the first month, my father will give them titles and determine the fiefdom. I am afraid that when the imperial court starts next year, someone will ask him to fiefdom and vassalage.
If he really went to the fiefdom, he would have no hope in his life.
He must find a way to defeat the prince as soon as possible.
During this time, the staff in the government and the factions supporting him outside were all planning this matter, and he had long since lost the mood to care about so-called feelings.
In the face of that big event, the love between children is a joke.
But this Jiang Shuhua...
Maybe, it will be of some use.
The third prince decided to take the news out later and ask his subordinates to consult with them to see if it could have any effect.
He was thinking about things in his mind and didn't hear what his father above him was saying at all.
After all, the New Year's speech was written by the cabinet, and his father simply followed it.
Today is the day to entertain the ministers. Emperor Yufeng is still wearing a Taoist robe, looking at people and ghosts. He and Ben don't know anything about what is going on inside and outside the court.
Such a person sitting in that seat is simply a corpse.
Why didn't he die earlier?
Taking the so-called elixir every day, logically speaking, it should be quick.
Why does he look more and more energetic?
but……
When the third prince thought of this, he suddenly noticed that his father's face did not look good today.
From today onwards, the imperial court has begun to seal the pen, suppressing all political matters first, and will not reopen it until the 16th day of the first lunar month after the Lantern Festival next year.
Therefore, the atmosphere at the banquet was very lively at this time, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going, toasting each other and greeting each other.
Seeing Emperor Yufeng toasting everyone with a glass of wine and sneaking away on the pretext of paying homage to his ancestors, the third prince also gathered his energy to socialize with others.
Xie Songhua and Xiao Yu were sitting together, so they were inevitably toasted by others.
In the past, except for a few important people in the court, no one dared to get close to Xiao Yu.
But this time there was Princess Chen next to her, so many people came with their wives.
Xiao Yu had a cold face and it was not easy for them to get close to each other. Isn't it okay for Princess Chen to look friendly?
In fact, Xie Songhua didn't have any intention to stay here and listen to other people's polite words at this time, because Xiao Yu's condition next to him was not very good.
Fortunately, after taking a sip of water, Xie Songhua felt relieved.
While she stood up to have a drink with Mrs. Zhang, she glanced at Xiao Yu secretly.
Fortunately, this person is used to keeping a cold face, so he has no expression at this time and will not arouse others' suspicion.
After Zhang Shoufu said a few words to Xiao Yu, he went to the prince again with a wine glass in hand.
Xie Songhua then sat down and asked quietly: "What do you think?"
"Nothing."
Although he said this, Xie Songhua still heard a hint of patience in his tone.
Apparently he was enduring the pain of the poison attack.
"King Chen has such a big air!"
Princess Jingning came over with the young prince and Princess Huimin, "No matter what, you should call me cousin, but you actually want me to come and toast you first!"
She said words of complaint, but with a smile on her face, she poured a glass of wine and said with a smile: "But you have worked really hard for my safety, Daqi. As a sister, I toast you with this glass, but I am happy in my heart."
That’s it.”
Xiao Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, smiled to show his respect, and then raised his glass and took a sip.
Xie Songhua didn't really like the eldest princess's family, so he just drank a glass of water with Xiao Yu.
Princess Huimin said, "Uncle Chen Wang is worthy of my mother's glass of wine, but Princess Chen is a bit too trusting. Is it possible that Princess Chen feels that she is worthy of my mother's respect?"
Xie Songhua looked at her nose and heart, not even wanting to say a word to this lunatic.
She knew very well that due to Huimin's thoughts and her temperament, she would be a thorn in his side for the rest of her life.
But unfortunately, she is just sitting here staring at Princess Chen's name, and there is nothing the other party can do to her.
After all, it was the eldest princess and King Chen. The Qi family's movements here attracted the attention of many people. Xie Songhua's indifferent attitude naturally fell in the eyes of others.
Huimin, who has always had the wind and rain since she was a child, has never been treated so indifferently in public. She suddenly turned red with anger and said, "I'm talking to you!"
