She doesn't understand the court, but she knows the secrets of the back houses of each mansion very well!
——After all, so many years of fighting are not in vain. Which family's concubine is the most difficult to deal with, which family's adults are most afraid of their wives, and which family's masters have green hair without knowing it. She is very worried about these things.
Good at it!
Although these things may not seem to have anything to do with the affairs of the imperial court at first glance, but if you really want to discuss them in detail, they are not completely unrelated - and although they do not discuss major affairs of the imperial court out of caution, they can occasionally listen to them.
She heard one or two obscure words, but she didn't care about it in the past.
Maybe Er Zhaozhao will also be interested in these?
And these are much more interesting than just listening to the affairs of the court.
Thinking this, Cui couldn't help but feel that she still had some competitive capital in trying to make her children happy.
Not like tomorrow.
I can only watch helplessly being left behind by everyone.
People, you have to know how to keep up with the situation and explore your advantages.
Mingshi, who had just put down his chopsticks, turned to face his mother's eyes with inexplicable pity, and this pity was a bit hypocritical, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
What is my mother thinking about all day long? Is there a big windmill in her head? As long as someone next to her blows a breath or moves, her mind will keep spinning, right?
In the outer study, as soon as the grandfather and grandson sat down, Uncle Yun brought a pot of hot tea.
After filling the two cups of tea, Yun Bo retreated and gently closed the study door from the outside.
"But what news did you get from Cai Jin?" Duke Zhen Guo looked at his granddaughter and asked thoughtfully.
"yes."
Xu Mingyi took out the secret letter from his sleeve and whispered: "The purpose of the letter is that Miss Cai no longer has to rush to investigate the matter of the imperial edict. At the moment, she only needs to gain more trust from her second uncle and take the opportunity to inquire as much about our house as possible.
A secret matter from above.”
After hearing what his granddaughter said, Duke Zhen Guo did not look at the letter on the small table beside his elbow. He just sighed in an unclear tone. His expression seemed a little relaxed, but it was more complicated.
"According to this, there really is a legacy, and the eldest princess really handed it over..."
——If these two conditions are not met at the same time, there is no way that Emperor Dog will suddenly give up the investigation, especially now that the day when King Yan comes to Beijing is getting closer.
Xu Mingyi nodded.
yes.
The eldest princess must have handed the things to the emperor. She had already noticed and guessed this when she was in the eldest princess's mansion that day.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Jingrong once said something to her granddaughter that day - the late emperor also wanted his grandfather to be safe and sound." Xu Mingyi looked at his grandfather and guessed: "My granddaughter has been thinking about the princess these days.
Could it be that I was determined to hand over the will because the late emperor had entrusted me with something before he passed away? The eldest princess’s move was probably to extricate our Xu family from it.”
The eldest princess may also have the idea of protecting herself, but the risks brought by this decision are no less than hiding the edict until the end.
And it was obviously after she explained to the eldest princess the current situation that the Xu family was facing that the eldest princess made the next move.
When she said those words at first, she had never thought of using this method to solve the problem. At that time, she was not even sure that the eldest princess must have the edict in her hands.
However, no matter what, even if the eldest princess had other considerations in doing this, it was indeed a kind help to the Xu family.
Hearing his granddaughter mention the late emperor, Duke Zhenguo's mood became more solemn.
Thaksin.
He believes that before the late emperor passed away, he must have been worried about his future situation.
But the edict left by the late emperor has no chance of being published anymore...
After a moment of silence, the Duke of Zhenguo spoke: "Although this move is a bit risky, it cannot be said that the eldest princess is definitely wrong..."
In his opinion, the edict left by the late emperor should not just disappear.
But no matter how much righteousness and sentiment you have, you still need to be alive to achieve it - besides, the eldest princess is the one who has truly been entrusted by the late emperor. Only the eldest princess knows what the late emperor said when he was entrusted with this task.
.
Therefore, at this time, he could not evaluate whether the eldest princess was right or wrong in taking out the edict.
Xu Mingyi’s view is roughly the same.
She thought that the eldest princess must have thought carefully before making this decision - judging from the eldest princess's response these days, she was not an impulsive and blind person.
As for whether this move will completely push King Yan into the whirlpool?
This question is completely meaningless.
In the previous life, the eldest princess was killed by her royal brother long ago, and there was no such thing as handing over the edict immediately. In other words, the emperor in the previous life did not even see the edict.
But what is the result?
First it was the eldest princess's palace, then the Xu family, then the Wu family and King Yan. Has anyone ever received "tolerant treatment" from the emperor?
If he didn't see this edict for a day, he would feel uneasy every day, fearing that the edict would fall into the hands of King Yan, so every move he made was planning how to eliminate all hidden dangers related to King Yan.
After receiving the imperial edict, he might have thought - the late emperor really valued King Yan more, and this threat could not be tolerated.
Therefore, for a person who always speculates on everyone's guilty conscience with the greatest malice, the result will be the same whether there is this edict or not.
When faced with such a person, there is only one solution - let him roll off that chair.
Apart from this, any other method can only temporarily delay the falling of the knife in the opponent's hand.
And now her only worry is the eldest princess's mansion——
"Whether it's right or wrong, the eldest princess is a bit too adventurous this time."
You are risking yourself and the entire Princess Royal Palace.
"Don't worry." Zhen Guogong comforted his granddaughter and said: "Judging from the current situation, the emperor will not do anything drastic because he is angry with the eldest princess's house. Although this person is ruthless, he can be called rational, and he will not do anything drastic.
Don’t do meaningless, cruel things.”
Even if the eldest princess knew the secret, without the edict, the secret would be nothing more than treacherous and crazy talk.
Besides, he is just a sister, so he keeps it for acting out the drama of brother-sister love to show that he is virtuous and benevolent - at least it works very well so far.
But that doesn't mean that the Princess's mansion will be safe in the true sense from now on.
The Dog Emperor will certainly not relax his surveillance of the Princess's Mansion.
However, the eldest princess must be well aware of this and should take adequate precautions. Therefore, generally speaking, as long as there are no major changes, the fatal disaster can be avoided for the time being.
Naturally, Xu Mingyi would not have thought of these things, but because of Jiao Jiao, he could not help but feel a little concerned and confused. At this time, listening to his grandfather's explanation, his heart calmed down.
Regarding this matter, the grandfather and grandson discussed some things that need to be paid attention to in the future.
After talking in detail, Xu Mingyi asked about another thing.
