The first daughter is not bad, the prince does not love

Chapter 526 Water can carry a boat and capsize it
Qingxuan came over, glanced at Princess Huayang first, and then asked Lin Siran: "I have been away for so long and have not come back, let Qingying and Sui'er follow you, and you left alone, let me find it easier!"

"Mother, I'm sorry, I forgot the time while chatting with the princess." Lin Siran apologized first.

Princess Huayang snorted, and said, "Are you guarding against me? Are you afraid that I will eat your goddaughter?"

"You don't have such a good appetite, and our family Ranran is not a soft persimmon for mermaids. I'm not worried that she will suffer!" Qingxuan and Princess Huayang confronted each other.

"Then why are you looking for her in such a hurry?" Princess Huayang asked.

"I want to introduce some old friends to her, can't I?" Qingxuan asked back.

Princess Huayang snorted, and said: "Old friend, old friend... It sounds like you have a lot of contacts. You have been living in isolation these years, and people have long forgotten you, but you are still willing to curry favor."

"You don't care if I'm thick-skinned or not, just take care of your own face. The Lu family didn't let go of your daughter's marriage, so you came to make things difficult for our family Ranran, why? My family Ranran owes you?" Qing Xuan asked unhappily.

"Of course she owes me. I did her a big favor last time. You forgot so soon? That's right, you are an ungrateful person."

"You call it helping? You are really thick-skinned. If you really help, the Jiangnan gentry will not cooperate with the prince's disaster relief. Now, like a clown, you have made up some trumped-up charges several times to slander the prince. Fortunately, your majesty is not confused. people."

This is what makes Qingxuan most angry. Princess Huayang is clearly capable of settling these matters, but she agrees but refuses to help sincerely.

"Qingxuan, what you said is a bit harsh. I did write a letter. As for how the people in the south of the Yangtze River do, I don't care. I'm not young anymore, and my energy is low. My prestige has also been exhausted, so it's inevitable that they won't sell me face!"

Princess Huayang lazily touched her temples, her light and airy attitude made people feel helpless.

"Then it seems that the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River will not pay attention to you, the eldest princess, soon? That's great. Your majesty can finally go to the south of the Yangtze River to collect enough taxes as you wish, and you don't have to hinder the princess's affection, and you don't have to deal with these things strictly. people."

Qingxuan naturally knew that Princess Huayang was perfunctory, and deliberately used words to insult her.

In recent years, the tax revenue in Jiangnan has been less than [-]%. Firstly, the Jiangnan gentry is very powerful, and secondly, His Majesty cannot come to the real because of Princess Huayang's face.

"Why are you now concerned about state affairs again? Is it possible that you are too old to come out to disturb the situation and interfere in the government?" Princess Huayang became alert.

Qingxuan sneered twice, and asked: "You can interfere behind the scenes, but I can't? I used to not want to tire myself out, but now that I am old, my body and bones are much stronger, and my spirit is full. Naturally, I want to share the worries for Your Majesty." .”

"Sharing your majesty's worries? It sounds nice, but you want to get a share of the pie. I'm curious, who are you going to bet on this time?" Princess Huayang asked tentatively.

How could Qingxuan answer her directly, and deliberately said: "Who is on whom? Naturally, I always put the treasure on your majesty. I don't care about others except your majesty."

"You really know how to pretend!" Princess Huayang said dissatisfiedly, "The second prince doesn't have much promise, but the third prince has made some achievements recently, and he is also safe in handling things, quite like His Majesty back then."

Princess Huayang actually fixed her eyes on the third prince.

Lin Siran was taken aback for a moment, shouldn't Princess Huayang form an alliance with the prince?

"It's better for you to get involved in these things less. It's not easy to be here today. Don't lose everything you had originally because you were too greedy, then the loss outweighs the gain." Qingxuan persuaded.

"Hmph, please persuade yourself. I am obviously unwilling to be lonely, and I am not greedy enough. I want to get involved in the battle for the heir apparent, and I want to find a high-sounding excuse. Are you tired?" Princess Huayang turned around. Roll eyes.

Lin Siran found that Princess Huayang seemed to have a "bright complex" towards Qingxuan, and only in front of Qingxuan would she show such an undisguised desire to win.

"What seizing the heir? Your Majesty has established a prince long ago. What else can you seize? That's not called seizing the heir, it's called rebellion." Qingxuan said angrily, "Your Majesty will not abolish the prince for a day, and everyone else is just a courtier. The heart of disobedience should be punished!"

After hearing this, Lin Siran was quite happy, and naturally Li Xingxu was the one who should be assisted.

She didn't realize at all that there was a little pride and pride in this joy.

Princess Huayang was stunned, and asked: "So you bet all your treasures on the prince? But based on what he did in the south of the Yangtze River, I think the prince is too reckless and radical. This is not good. These wealthy gentry are You can't offend easily, look... isn't the memorial one after another sent to His Majesty now?"

"Your Majesty clearly has no intention of disposing of the prince, but he entrusts others to do everything in his hands. Instead, he, the real prince, is idle and fine. Isn't this your majesty's attitude?"

Qingxuan didn't take it seriously, and said: "The prince did nothing wrong. At that time, the disaster was urgent, but the wealthy gentry were like hoarding grain and selling it at a high price. If the prince didn't take extraordinary measures, could they obediently hand over the grain? The imperial decree was issued If they want to borrow food, they refuse to borrow it, this is disobedience and disrespect, and they deserve it if the crown prince beats them."

"Even so, if the common people are saved, can the common people be able to speak? Can they ask for credit for him before His Majesty? Can they guarantee that his position as the crown prince is as stable as Mount Tai? The wealthy gentry can do it."

Princess Huayang has her own opinions.

She is a political speculator, so naturally everything is based on "interests". Among the two items of helping the people and supporting the wealthy gentry, she feels that choosing the latter is the most beneficial.

"People are doing it, and the sky is watching. The sages have clouds. Water can carry a boat and overturn it. Don't underestimate the power of the people." Qingxuan and Princess Huayang are obviously not the same kind of people.

Princess Huayang said disgustedly: "You just read too many books and your mind is dull. Why has the prince been marginalized all these years? Is the root cause of his precarious status just because His Majesty doesn't like him?"

The implication is that the prince will not make friends with the nobles of the family, and cannot attract these people to be by his side and escort him.

King Fu is just the opposite. His mother's family can't count on him, but he knows how to manage his own contacts and actively draws closer to the aristocratic family. Therefore, from time to time, someone will write a letter, suggesting that His Majesty wants to abolish the reserve and reestablish it.

If it weren't for the incident last time, King Fu would have been very close to being the crown prince, but this King Fu is also an idiot who cannot be supported.

He is a good prince, but he has lost his head if he insists on being as knowledgeable as a little girl. However, behind Lin Siran is not only the Lin family, but also Qingxuan, a thorny head who cannot be offended.

Princess Huayang herself did not dare to provoke Qingxuan easily, because she knew very well that in His Majesty's heart, her own sister was not as good as her cousin Qingxuan.

If Qingxuan hadn't been discouraged and alienated His Majesty back then, she would have no chance to replace him and become His Majesty's most trusted follower.
