This is true outside the city, let alone inside the city.
now.
The Second Prince's Mansion.
The second prince, who looked sick, had a sinister look on his face.
The fourth prince who hurried over early in the morning and was attached to the second prince saw his expression was different and said with some confusion, "Second brother, although Xiao Shi's biological mother is only an insignificant beauty who died young in his father's palace.
, but because of this, she has been held by her mother since she was a child and raised by her mother herself."
"Regardless of how the news spread overnight, in my opinion, this is not a bad thing for the second brother, right?"
Why does this picture look like it's about to eat people?
After all, the second brother is the daughter of the Queen, who is her biological son. Xiao Shi was raised by the Queen and is close to the Queen.
So, if Su Jingxing really becomes Xiao Shi's consort, doesn't that mean he becomes the second brother's help?
"If you think so, what will others think?" the second prince said coldly.
The fourth prince reacted, "Second brother, do you mean that other brothers, father and court officials will all think that the matter between Xiao Shi and Su Jingxing has something to do with you, second brother?"
"Oh, push me out and use it as a target. The person behind it has a good plan."
"Despite this... I still don't understand. In any case, after Su Jingxing became the Little Ten Prince Consort, the benefits that fell on you, second brother, are real. Aren't you afraid of the people behind it?"
The fourth prince added with some trepidation, "After all, everyone is trying to win over Su Jingxing overtly and covertly. This is not a secret. Even if this matter is placed on you, second brother, others will not criticize you verbally. Father.
It’s unlikely that the emperor and his courtiers will have any other thoughts about you, second brother, because of this matter.”
"Yes, no matter how you look at it, it is a good thing that benefits me." The second prince's eyes were filled with unfathomable coldness, "So, why does such a good thing have to fall on my head?"
The fourth prince also understood the seriousness of the matter, "Second brother, what are you going to do?"
"Since someone wants to promote this matter, we will add fuel to the flames and help him! Haha..."
"Second brother, what you mean is to increase your support to make Su Jingxing become Xiao Shi's consort?"
The second prince was about to speak when he suddenly coughed. The fourth prince hurriedly stepped forward to help, but the second prince impatiently waved him away and waited for the cough to subside.
The second prince said with disgust and ferocity, "Yes, I will fulfill the man behind the scenes!"
The fourth prince did not dare to speak for a moment.
A queen who was supposed to have the highest claim to inherit the throne came out, but she had such a sickly and broken body...
After a while, seeing that the second prince looked better, he said again, "Second brother, let's not talk about how Xiao Shi's story came out. You said that Xiao Shi fell down, cut his clothes and exposed his skin, and was accidentally seen by Su Jingxing.
Is this a coincidence or an accident, or..."
"You have to ask Xiao Shi himself and the people behind the scenes." The second prince sneered.
The fourth prince said hesitantly, "Whether it's a real accident or a fake coincidence, the city has become such a turmoil. For the sake of our royal face, my father, the emperor, and my mother will probably... This time Su Jingxing will become our tenth brother-in-law. It must be a certainty."
Unless he dares to resist the decree, he doesn't want to live, and he doesn't want to survive in the Cangyu Kingdom anymore.
Otherwise, the whole world is nothing but royal land. No matter how much gold and silver you have, and how powerful you are, who can surpass the imperial power?
Seeing that the second prince remained silent, the fourth prince thought of another thing.
"Second brother, the eldest emperor has not married a concubine for a long time. People say that he is probably eyeing the daughter of Prime Minister Wang. Although there is no trend in Prime Minister Wang's side, Prime Minister Wang's legitimate queen Sisi is not too young. Next year
We have reached the age where we must get married according to the law of Cangyu...I am afraid that we will get engaged this year at the latest, and Prime Minister Wang will not be able to keep us here no matter how much he wants. By then..."
Seeing that the second prince was unmoved, the fourth prince became a little anxious. "I wonder if second brother has a favorite second sister-in-law in his heart? Second brother, you should also consider marrying us a second sister-in-law."
The second prince said with unclear meaning, "Fourth, have you forgotten what happened fifteen years ago?"
"What's the matter?" The fourth prince reacted as soon as he asked, "Second brother, you mean..."
Fifteen years ago, on the Ghost Festival of July 15th, that night, all the princes and the sons of many dignitaries in Kyoto almost had the same dream overnight.
There was a voice in the dream saying that in fifteen years, Cangyu will give birth to a daughter of God. Whoever gets this woman will conquer the world...
At that time, the oldest among them was only eight or nine years old, and the youngest was only one or two years old.
Many of those little boys forgot about it as soon as they woke up. Some of them still remembered telling their parents, but they laughed it off and made fun of us, saying that our son was thinking of marrying a young lady at such a young age.
There are also some parents who immediately warned them not to talk nonsense to outsiders even if it was a child's joke-like dream, to avoid causing trouble.
As for the princes of their royal family, because they are in the royal family and their minds are relatively precocious, they are silent and tight-lipped.
Later, there was some vague rumors because the boys met together more frequently, and because they were young, they would sometimes brag in front of their friends while playing with each other, so they just casually said this.
The matter was brought out.
Although there are various versions of the legend, it is probably that a goddess will appear in Cangyu fifteen years later, and whoever wins the goddess will conquer the world.
The fourth prince thought of this and licked his lips with some uncertainty, "Second brother, do you think... But this is just a dream when we were young... What's more, the dream didn't give any clues about the goddess..."
The second prince said with unclear meaning, "So many boys had the same dream overnight. Don't you find it interesting?"
The fourth prince didn't know how to answer the call.
But I'm a little anxious in my heart. Now everyone is looking for a princess who can help them. For example, the eldest brother is eyeing the daughter of Prime Minister Wang.
The second emperor brother was thinking about the ethereal goddess, this...
Could it be that I am on the wrong team? With the wrong person?
As a member of the royal family, how can you believe in ghosts and gods but not in strength? Then you just have to wait for death...
He tried his best to speak as quietly as possible, "The most important thing right now is my father's attitude towards Xiao Shi..."
At this moment, the Prime Minister's Mansion welcomed a guest.
The Prime Minister's wife met with the eldest princess's confidant, Aunt Li.
"I wonder what your Royal Highness the Princess's orders are? She even asked Aunt Li to go there in person." The Prime Minister's wife smiled and joked, "But my spoiled daughter was unruly and naughty at the banquet yesterday?"
Wang Sisi didn't want to react to this joke at all.
She heard the earth-shaking rumors outside, and now she felt really angry and anxious.
What are the ten princesses?
She is unruly and idiotic, and she only has the title of princess. How can she be worthy of Su Jingxing!
Just when Wang Sisi felt very uncomfortable, Grandma Li nodded slightly and said, "Please, Mrs. Prime Minister, please withdraw everyone."
The smile on the corner of Mrs. Prime Minister's mouth was imperceptible, "Of course it's no problem."
Soon, everyone else who was waiting on the table withdrew.
When only Madam Prime Minister, Wang Sisi and Nanny Li were left in the hall, Nanny Li said calmly, "This matter is of great importance. Her Royal Highness the Princess has always been on good terms with Madam Prime Minister, and she has always liked your house."
Miss Sisi is very fond of you. In order to prevent the reputation of your house and Miss Sisi from being damaged, I asked this old servant to come and inform you quietly. "
The smile on Mrs. Prime Minister's face disappeared and she solemnly said, "In that case, just tell Aunt Li what the matter is."
Grandma Li said, "About the accident that happened to the Tenth Princess and Mr. Su Jingxing at the Princess Mansion yesterday, for some reason, word spread all over the place overnight. I think the Prime Minister's wife must also have heard about it."
The Prime Minister's wife pretended not to know, "This...I haven't gone out, so I haven't heard anything."
Aunt Li smiled lightly and said, "The Prime Minister's wife is out of touch."
"That's all, I'll just tell you. Yesterday there was indeed such an accident. What a coincidence, the people who saw this accident were the second young lady of your house and the accompanying sworn sister, Miss Ajiu."
"What?!" Wang Sisi couldn't help but screamed in shock and anger. (To be continued)
