After marrying the disabled chief minister, I rely on space to raise Zaizai

Chapter 638 Not Simple

People tend to seek profit and avoid harm. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that, and naturally no one will join in the fun.

Jian Qingyu didn't pay much attention to the Second Prince's wife. She was busy dealing with the princes, princesses, and the wives of princes and ministers.

Gu Yanbei's status is now rising, and naturally more people are trying to curry favor with her, so she naturally has to attend many social events.

The relationships on the Madam's side are not so easy to manipulate. As the mistress of a big house, she must have many tricks up her sleeve.

If Jian Qingyu was really a peasant woman, she would definitely be nervous when facing such a scene, but she came from a prominent family, so she handled it with ease. After negotiating with her, the wives of those ministers all understood one thing: they were short-sighted in the past. This Princess Ning'an's wife Gu was not a simple person at all. She was very cunning and could smooth over many things without leaving a trace. No wonder she was valued by His Majesty. She really had a good mind.

The New Year's Eve banquet only truly began when Emperor Tianchu appeared.

As for the food at the palace banquet in the middle of winter, no matter how delicious the imperial chef’s food is, it will lose its flavor when it reaches the table after going through all the procedures.

Although he had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs run. Therefore, Jian Qingyu had already had a full meal before going out. He only ate a little symbolic food at the palace banquet to show his respect to the emperor.

A palace banquet is really tiring. The most important thing is that you have to think twice before speaking, for fear of saying the wrong thing and bringing unnecessary trouble to yourself or Gu Yanbei. Now many people are staring at Gu Yanbei, waiting to grab his pigtails and use them to threaten others.

On the way back, Jian Qingyu was already tired and drowsy. Seeing this, Gu Yanbei felt distressed and hugged her in his arms, letting her lean on him: "If you are tired, lean on me and sleep for a while."

The carriage was warm. It was a special carriage to begin with, and the stove was lit. Jian Qingyu didn't hesitate and fell asleep soon after leaning against Gu Yanbei.

However, not long after returning home, Jian Qingyu became fully awake and sat on the bed waiting for Gu Yanbei to get into bed.

"What's wrong? Aren't you sleepy? Why don't you go to sleep?"

"I have something to tell you." "You can talk to me tomorrow. If you are tired, go to sleep. There is no need to rush."

"No, I can't sleep if you don't tell me." I was really tired on the way back. I slept for a while and now I feel much better. If I don't say something on my mind, I won't sleep well at night.

"Okay, then you talk and I'll listen."

"What do you think of the Sixth Prince and his wife?" She was not very clear about the Sixth Prince, but the Sixth Prince's wife was very unusual and spoke very carefully. She almost fell into the trap, but fortunately she reacted in time.

"The Sixth Prince is a gentle and elegant man with no ambitions. However, as a prince, he is still qualified to compete for that position. The Sixth Prince is not as harmless as he seems." No one born in the royal family is an easy person to deal with, and the Sixth Prince is no exception. It's just that this man hides himself very well, and he will not be blinded by these superficial things.

"I haven't had any contact with the Sixth Prince's wife, but judging from the tight management of the Sixth Prince's Mansion, this prince's wife is not a simple person." He never underestimated anyone. Even a small person could overturn many things.

"That's true. I almost fell into her trap. Fortunately, I reacted in the end and didn't give her any evidence." This woman is really unfathomable. She has a very smart brain and it is very difficult to deal with her.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Even if I'm targeted, I have a way to get out of it."

"Well, it's better to be careful." She told Gu Yanbei about her inner anxiety. If he could take her words to heart, she would feel relieved. With Gu Yanbei's means, as long as he was careful and cautious, the Sixth Prince would not be a problem.

"Your Majesty, does he have any candidate in mind for the crown prince?" Gu Yanbei has been with His Majesty for so long that he should have a clearer understanding of the situation.

"What? Are you thinking about taking sides?" Gu Yanbei said jokingly.

"What side should I stand on? I am on His Majesty's side. I just want to be mentally prepared." It would be better to make plans earlier. After all, a new emperor appoints new ministers. You can't just abandon the donkey because it has done its job.
