Queen's scheming

Chapter 438

New Year's Eve family dinner.

Shen Qingyi took Gu Yimeng's hand kindly, and in front of Gu Yiran and Princess Qinya, praised: "After all, she is the daughter of Duke Yang, and it's no wonder the Seventh Prince dotes on you so much. Other than you, He didn't have any concubines, not even a side concubine, the Seventh Prince married someone like you who is more beautiful than Huajiao, he must look down on others!"

Gu Yimeng was a little embarrassed, blushed slightly, and replied: "How can I be as good as the empress said? The empress is so beautiful and beautiful, it makes me feel ashamed!"

Princess Qinya stepped forward and said jokingly: "One is the imperial concubine's sister-in-law, the other is the concubine's sister-in-law, plus younger siblings, all of them are prettier than the concubine's. ! Sister-in-law and younger siblings don’t want to praise each other anymore, otherwise the concubine will have to find a mouse hole to sneak in?”

Shen Qingyi smiled and annoyed Princess Qinya and said: "As long as you are eloquent, I can't even speak against you. If you want to say that you got the advantage yourself, seeing that the Seventh Prince and Concubine is good, you begged to be a daughter-in-law for your younger brother. You There is one less picky sister-in-law behind me, and you are always good at being a man!"

Princess Qinya pouted and said: "The empress can't speak, look at what she said so well that the ministers and concubines can't utter a single word!"

Gu Yimeng looked at the two of them with a smile, looked left and right, and said, "This concubine can't be judged!" Turning her face to look at Shen Qingyi without any shyness, she stared blankly at Shen Qingyi Gu Yiran said: "Why don't you judge by brother, is the empress or sister-in-law better at talking?"

Gu Yiran hadn't seen Shen Qingyi for a long time. Ever since he and Li Tianyou opened up their conversation, all banquets in the palace were divided into inner hall and outer hall. The courtiers and Li Tianyou were in the outer hall, and Shen Qingyi led All the concubines and imperial wives were gathered in the inner hall, and it was even more lively today, and Princess Hejing brought a group of children to play in the warm pavilion.

Gu still didn't expect that Shen Qingyi would come out today and meet Han Qi's seventh prince and concubine in the outer hall. After all, Gu Yimeng is also his younger sister, so he, the sincere prince, would like to talk about family matters here .

How long has it been since he saw Shen Qingyi who smiled so sweetly and softly?Unexpectedly, Shen Qingyi was still so beautiful, smelling the scent of mint and orange radiating from her body, Gu Yiran felt that this banquet was worth it!

Gu still didn't speak for a while, even Princess Qinya, she couldn't hold back her face, Shen Qingyi gently pulled out a hand, and patted the back of Princess Qinya's hand, signaling her to be calm, Shen Qingyi now The son came here to use a trick for beauty, so it would be good to be able to hold back Gu Yiran's gaze.

Shen Qingyi and Gu Yimeng had communicated about many things, and Gu Yimeng also pretended not to see Gu Yiran's gaffe.

On the other hand, Shen Qingyi stared at Gu Yiran, with the corners of her lips curled up slightly, revealing a crescent-like smile, her moist pink lips, glowing with a few candlelights, she opened her mouth revealing bright teeth, and asked, "Your Majesty, don't protect yourself. If you have to say that Princess Cheng is a gourd with a sawn mouth, she can speak well, and it's not just this palace who said it, the old ladies and young ladies here and there all know it well!"

Seeing Shen Qingyi talking to him so delicately, Gu Yiran couldn't find his way, and said again and again: "The empress is smart, and Princess Cheng is smart, so naturally Princess Cheng is more eloquent!"

Shen Qingyi looked at Princess Qinya with a smile, and said with a low laugh: "Princess Qinya, did you hear it? This is not what I forced Prince Cheng to say. If you still feel unconvinced, you might as well go to find Prince Cheng and say it in person at night." Said, this is the matter of your husband and wife, I have nothing to do with it!"

Princess Qinya glanced at Gu Yiran coquettishly, Gu Yiran was still staring at Shen Qingyi in a daze, nowhere could she see Princess Qinya's affectionate eyes, Gu Yimeng looked straight at the side, did not expect her brother to be It has come to this point, it doesn't care about those courtiers' strange eyes at all!
If it wasn't for the fact that she and Shen Qingyi had frequent correspondence, knowing that she and Shen Qingyi would continue to act out this scene of sisterly love, she would never have been able to do it, she would have turned a blind eye to it, and continued to stand here!

On the other hand, Han Qi's Seventh Prince came to Li Tianyou. The Seventh Prince didn't know how he turned to this position. Anyway, after entering this place, he discovered that this place is isolated from the world. The place, but the place is very small, there is only room for two people, Li Tianyou sat in the corner, and said unceremoniously: "Sit down and talk too!"

The Seventh Prince of Han Qi was a little embarrassed, he slightly bowed and said: "I just stand and listen, Your Majesty, please speak!"

Li Tianyou smiled wryly and said: "Don't be a servant, I invited you to such a small dark room, but I want to tell you some confidential things, it's not suitable for others to know! It's all come to this point , why are you talking about subordinates and not subordinates!"

The Seventh Prince was as good as he was, and with a low reply, he sat down on another small pier.

Li Tianyou said in a low voice: "The empress has told me about the situation of you and the Seventh Concubine in Han Qi. The empress said, you are a person with great ambitions, and you will definitely be able to take care of Han Qi well. I believe in the empress!"

The Seventh Prince didn't expect Li Tianyou to be so straightforward, so he expressed his desire to seize the throne. After being shocked, he still lamented Li Tianyou's trust in Shen Qingyi, because all these years, only Gu Yimeng and Shen Qingyi had the same relationship. It's just a letter exchange, I have never communicated with Li Tianyou directly, how can Li Tianyou trust me so much!
The Seventh Prince didn't have any twists and turns, and said solemnly: "In the territory of Hanqi, my eldest brother controls the military power, and the third brother controls the general affairs. If I want to take that seat, it will be very difficult. Now I Being able to live well in the palace is only because Yimeng and I have been married for many years, and my father and mother treat me like children!"

The Seventh Prince let out a sigh of relief, and said: "To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the fact that I have to 'get sick' from time to time, I'm afraid I wouldn't live until this time, neither the Eldest nor the Third Emperor Let me go!"

"Then, who do you think is more likely to win, your eldest brother or the third brother?" Li Tianyou talked about the internal affairs of the Han Qi Dynasty without any shyness.

The Seventh Prince frowned, he didn't have any displeasure, and he had nothing to hide when he reached this point, Gu Yimeng told himself that neither Li Tianyou nor Shen Qingyi intended to annex the Han Qi Dynasty, they just didn't want Dali's border Not stable!
"Whether it's the big brother or the third brother who takes the throne, there will be no place for me and Yimeng, so I don't want any of them to take the throne!" The Seventh Prince stared at Li Tianyou with burning eyes.

Li Tianyou raised his head and looked at the Seventh Prince. The eyes of the person opposite were very pure, but with a look of determination. Li Tianyou nodded. He lived in the palace for a long time and was raised in front of Han Qi Khan and the princess. It is extremely rare for the seventh prince to have such a pure and resolute expression!
"I understand your thoughts, but the military power in your hands is not enough, and the counselors around you are also enough. It is difficult to accomplish things with you and the seventh prince and concubine alone. I can't help you in the open now, otherwise I will only Push you away from the throne, after all your big brother and third brother are also watching Dali's movements all the time!" Li Tianyou thought for a while, and said something about the situation that the Seventh Prince is facing now.

"I have a way to help you, but if you want to succeed, you must first suffer some time of humiliation. I don't know if you can trust me?" Li Tianyou asked with a frown.

The Seventh Prince also understood Li Tianyou's meaning in his heart, got up solemnly and bowed to Li Tianyou: "I have discussed with Yimeng, Brother Yong will be placed in the Dali Palace for the time being, and everything will be obeyed by the emperor!"

"Are you willing?" Li Tianyou asked with a frown. If he was asked to send brother Xuan to someone else's country, he might not be willing at all. Li Tianyou doubted the Seventh Prince's promise.

The Seventh Prince took a deep breath and said very calmly: "Yimeng and I are reluctant to part with each other, but staying in Han Qi may not guarantee his safety. Brother Yong has been loved by my father since he was a child." , the elder brother and the third brother have already regarded Brother Yong as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh, if it weren't for the eight maids that the empress rewarded Yimeng, and the queen taught Yimeng from time to time to make Brother Yong keep a low profile at a young age Concealed, Brother Yong is afraid that he won't be able to live until this time!"

The Seventh Prince paused for a moment. It was fine for him to pretend to be sick from time to time. A child as small as Brother Yong had to pretend to be sick. How could he bear it? He still remembered when Brother Yong was less than one year old, because he was too young Being favored by Han Qi Khan, the eldest prince showed a little bit of murderous intent. After returning to the palace, the seventh prince and the seventh concubine discussed it. They just took off their outer clothes for such a small person to sleep, but the next day they fell asleep. It's wind chill!
I still remember how I and Yimeng spent those three days. The Seventh Prince felt that the hatred of his life had been stored in his heart during those three days. It was also from that moment that the Seventh Prince told himself that he must be a master. Let the eldest prince be the third prince, no one dares to show the slightest murderous intent to Brother Yong again!
The Seventh Prince smiled bitterly and said: "In today's day, neither Yimeng nor I dare to mention having younger brothers and sisters for Brother Yong! So I have no choice! At least the emperor and empress are guarding, Han Qi's People think Brother Yong is a proton, and they will never come to Dali to take his life!"

Li Tianyou was grateful for the honesty of the Seventh Prince, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, with me and the queen here, Brother Yong will grow up safely and smoothly. I have already made arrangements, and it only depends on your performance in Han Qi! Waiting for you to take Brother Yong back to Han Qi in a good manner one day!"

The Seventh Prince clasped his fists at Li Tianyou, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
