"If there is a promise from the little girl, wouldn't it be even more powerful for the prince? If the little girl gets this thing, it can be regarded as a beautiful thing. Why not do it?"
Qi Feng didn't know whether Shen Zi was too smart or too cunning. To him, this condition seemed very tempting, but although she said it was a promise, she didn't explain what kind of promise it was. That's why she was smart.
Too
A teenage girl who can plot against the Gu family in full view of the public and still escape unscathed must not be a bad person. After all, she is a child of the Shen family.
As for the Gu family, he still hasn't figured out why Shen Zi wanted to cancel the marriage.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Shen family is an important minister in the court, and they have the support of the Xie family behind them. As for the Gu family, although they have not been in the court in recent years, their reputation is not comparable to that of the aristocratic families in Beijing.
Especially Gu Jinghuan, the legitimate son of the Gu family, who is still very young and talented. If it is after the Spring Festival, he will definitely be in high school, and the direction of the DPRK will definitely change. There is also the reclusive wife of the Gu family, who is a cousin of the queen.
Putting aside the queen family, the lady is the legitimate daughter of the British duke. With the support of the British duke, Gu Jinghuan will definitely not be underestimated in the court in the future.
Qi Feng really couldn't understand why this girl wanted to do everything possible to cancel the marriage and help the Lu family climb up the ranks of the Gu family.
The secret guard came to report that except for the recent situation of the concubine of the Lu family, the Lu family had not taken any other actions. Or does it mean that the problem lies with the concubine?
However, she wanted to withdraw from this marriage, so naturally she didn't care about this. If she really endured the humiliation for the sake of the position of the Marquise, he would
It seems that he needs to take good care of this Gu family.
Qi Feng looked at Shen Zi with a smile in his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
Before Shen Zi could figure out what Qi Feng was laughing at, he had already spoken, "Miss Shen, you'd better take the gift back! As for the things, I will have someone bring them to you."
Shen Zi, who was still about to speak, quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
As soon as the Shen family's carriage left Prince Ling's Mansion, two people disappeared from around the corner.
Yongning, who was originally depressed, returned to his usual liveliness as soon as he got on the carriage. As soon as he saw Shen Zi, he couldn't help but stick to her. His expression was unbearably excited. He hugged Shen Zi and started acting coquettishly, as if he was afraid of missing something. of.
"Say it! Say it! What did the emperor say? You have been in there for so long and you are not allowed to follow me. You don't know how boring it is to be outside!"
Shen Zi looked at Yong Ning dotingly, and tapped her forehead with her fingertips, "You! It's still like this."
"Say it, tell it quickly, people will want to know."
Shen Zi knew she couldn't defeat Yong Ning, so she replied gently, "I didn't say anything, just a normal conversation between a junior and an elder."
Hearing this, Yongning lost interest instantly and muttered, "It's really boring."
Shen Zi glanced at Aunt Cui who was following the carriage, then turned to Yong Ning and asked, "In the past, this was not the nun who followed you. Who is this?"
Hearing this, Yong Ning immediately drooped his face and complained to Shen Zi in a low voice, "It wasn't the day at the palace banquet that I fucked up the beautiful lady. Who would have expected that she found out and reported it to the queen? You You know, the queen has always disliked my mother-in-law, so she had people remove the nun who was assigned by my mother-in-law and arranged for Aunt Cui to serve me."
"Originally I wanted to refuse, but that day you asked me to think more about the difficulties of my mother and concubine in everything, so I agreed to the matter. Who would have thought that this old nanny is a bully, relying on the fact that she is on the queen's side? She has dealt with several palace maids around me. No, she heard that I was going out of the palace to visit the emperor's uncle, so she followed me all the way. Those who didn't know thought she was favored by me."
Shen Zi looked at Yongning and thought about how she had been bullied by this naughty slave recently. The naughty slave in Prince Ling's Mansion just now was probably relying on the queen's power to suppress Prince Ling, so she ignored Yongning's face and launched an attack in Prince Ling's Mansion.
It seems that the queen took action, but actually sent such a fool to follow her. How stupid is she? No wonder she has not been favored by the emperor for many years after entering the palace.
There is also Xi Meiren. If she remembers correctly in her previous life, she is not of the queen's group. Now she is attached to the queen, and she must be using the queen as a spear! After all, she is such a small beauty, how dare she offend the emperor's beloved concubine. Besides, She is also a noble concubine who has a daughter.
Since the Queen wanted to take action and take advantage of Yongning and her mother-in-law, she would simply cut off the beauty's path at once!
"Pamper, you should pamper her. Isn't she from the queen's side? Why don't you pamper her more? After all, the queen is also your aunt, so naturally Aunt Cui has a higher status than those ordinary palace maids."
"What people fear most is being arrogant because of favors. Once you forget your own nature, everything will be very reasonable. Do you understand?"
"What do you mean?" Yongning glanced outside understandingly.
Shen Zi smiled and nodded, "She represents the queen now. As a princess, you naturally cannot refute your aunt's wishes, otherwise you will be regarded as unfilial by your subjects. But if the slave makes a mistake, as an example for the people in the world, you, as a princess Of course you should be punished, but you have to be severely punished to silence everyone."
"But she hasn't made any big mistake. If this matter affects her mother and concubine," Yong Ning hesitated. In the past, she could do whatever nonsense she wanted, but this matter concerned her mother and concubine, so she had to be concerned.
Shen Zi knew that in the past she was just making small fuss and could not get on the stage. She sighed and thought it was time to talk to Yong Ningming.
"Yongning, think about it, why is Beauty Xi chasing after you? Do you really think she and you are just having a war of words? Think about it, when did she get entangled with you."
"You are a princess, not a concubine. What good can she gain by fighting with you? How much sympathy can you win from His Majesty? Make your father hate you? These are not her intentions."
"What she wants is to form an alliance with the queen. You are a small step to help her, and the mother-in-law or a higher position behind you is her real goal. As for the queen, I don't need to say more. "
"Who would want someone to threaten their status all the time? Who would be truly generous enough to share his husband with another woman?"
Shen Zi's words could be said to have revealed everything. Yongning's eyes widened and his heart beat wildly.
She didn't dare to think about it. She was ready to give the answer, but she couldn't believe it.
It was obviously the simplest answer, but it was the answer she least wanted.
At the end, his voice was a little trembling, "You mean, all this is towards the mother-in-law?"
