The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 306
The Fourth Prince was drowsy for more than half of the day, even if he was awake, he would not be energetic.However, the emperor's eyes and ears were always on the queen's palace, so even if the queen had any plans, it would be useless.

One side has to be threatened by the Xue sisters, and the other side has to worry about the condition of the fourth prince. The queen can be said to be under the enemy's back.

This kind of life is hardly a human life, dealing with the concubines during the day, and being cold like a cold palace at night, the queen can't sleep at night, but within seven or eight days, the whole person has lost a lot of weight.

After thinking about it, I have to plan a way out for myself no matter what.

This gaze sized up and down, and it fell on the Fifth Prince Li Hong.

Although the queen didn't like the fifth prince's biological mother, that woman had already gone to see King Hades, so she didn't hinder her.On the contrary, Concubine Song and Concubine Liu with the princes are the thorns in her eyes, the sisters of the Xue family who are constantly favored, and the young master of the Jia family are the thorns in her flesh.

If you put Li Hong under your own name, even if the other party is old and understands the truth, but if the queen is willing, with her own means, she will not be afraid that Li Hong will not become a puppet emperor in the future.

The more I think about it, the more secure I feel, but the current plan is to make Li Hong willingly join him.

For this matter, the queen is not worried.Whoever becomes her own son will be a rightful son in the future. As long as she is willing to respect her as empress dowager in the future, she will be willing to promote anyone with all her heart.

After discussing with the confidant eunuch, the queen immediately sent someone to invite Lu Shi and Xing Xiuyan outside the palace.Lu Shi didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, so he refused to ask Xiuyan to follow him, but asked Xiuyan to pretend to be sick at home.

Xiuyan is Song Lian's daughter-in-law, even if the queen knows that there is nothing wrong with her, but as long as the Song family insists that the trip cannot be made, the queen has nothing to do.

Lu's heart is for her daughter, but Xiuyan doesn't want her mother to go to danger alone.Mrs. Lu couldn't resist her, and after thinking about it, her daughter has always been able to do it, and Song Chen personally escorted her. Even if the queen wanted to make some crazy plans, she had to take into account Song Chen's status in the Zhenfu Department.

The green sedan chair went all the way to the gate of the palace. Seeing Song Chen leading the way, the imperial guards came over to say hello as if to fawn on them. They also heard that Mr. Song's mother-in-law and wife were sitting in the sedan chair, and they were even more respectful.A few young eunuchs stationed in front of the palace gate rushed to help guide the way.

Xiuyan was generous, and those little eunuchs couldn't keep their mouths idle. They first tried to flatter them, and then told Lu's mother and daughter about many new things in the palace.

Song Chen went directly to meet Xiaozong, and Lu's mother and daughter, led by the little eunuch, walked all the way into the inner court along the vermilion high wall.In front of Chaoshou corridor, Zhengde and Zhuan'er were waiting anxiously, seeing Lu's group walking this way, Zhengde was overjoyed at first, and then rushed over.

The little eunuchs knelt down and kowtowed, Zhengde dismissed them casually, and under the astonished eyes of the crowd, he personally took Mrs. Lu to the veranda: "Mom shouldn't have come, the queen has never been kind."

Xiuyan glared at Zhengde: "You're still so edgy, why did you forget what the emperor praised you for?"

Zhengde's eyes were filled with grievances, he served day and night in front of the Taishang Emperor's sick bed, and was praised by Xiaozong, saying that although he was young, he was the most filial among the many princes.This was said in front of several old princes, and the Supreme Emperor also agreed very much.

Those princes represent the royal family. Although it is difficult to be a man between the Supreme Emperor and Xiaozong these years, but seeing that the two have the same idea by coincidence, the princes are naturally willing to express their position on behalf of the royal family.

Seeing his son being reprimanded by his daughter, Mrs. Lu was very distressed, so he yelled at Xiuyan in a low voice: "Isn't he worried about us! Who knows what the queen is planning!"

As expected, the queen's plan was guessed by Xing Xiuyan. This woman even dismissed the basic greetings when they met, and only put forward her own conditions.As long as Zhengde is willing to respect her as the queen mother and call Ding Guogong to assist the government, the queen is willing to put Zhengde in the position of prince with all her might.

The three of the Lu family remained silent, and the queen sat high on the phoenix chair and sneered: "I advise the three of you not to be ignorant of flattery. If I tell Concubine Song about such a good thing, Concubine Song will not be a cow or a horse in return. The palace is not allowed. I don’t want much in my palace, I just need Dingguo to assist the government, and the next crown princess must be in Dingguo’s mansion!"

Zhengde almost laughed out loud!The queen is ashamed to say that she doesn't ask for much?This woman almost vainly tried to control all affairs inside and outside the court, unwilling to be just a harem woman, and planned to directly interfere in the government affairs through the hands of Duke Ding.

Internally, he was still thinking about asking a woman to hold back the footsteps of the future prince.

Such a meticulous and calculated arrangement was probably intended to be used on the Fourth Prince at the beginning.It's a pity that the fourth prince's blessings are poor, and the queen wants to "cheap" Zhengde.

Zhengde said with a smile: "Your Majesty loves me too much. There are three imperial brothers above my minister, all of whom are a hundred times stronger than me. If I have wishful thinking, wouldn't it be a joke? Empress, don't worry, after my minister returns, today Don't say a single word of what you hear!"

The queen's pair of phoenix eyes slanted on Xing Xiuyan's body, and her tone was casual: "Why do you think everything will be fine if you curry favor with Concubine Song? She is just a kite in my hands, and how far I want to fly is not up to my wish ? If the string in my hand can tie her, it can naturally tie you. What Song Concubine can give you, I can afford, and what Song Concubine can’t give you, I don’t mind!"

The empress's confidence made Xing Xiuyan suspicious.If the queen's ability is really so great, why didn't the four princes be put on the throne earlier these years, instead, Xiaozong's sons were fighting each other openly and secretly, and the court was divided into several factions. It is determined that the fourth prince will probably be ahead of Xiaozong.

The other part of the population is like grass on the wall. Today, the second prince occupies the top spot, and those petty officials will pretend to be the second prince to make a living.Tomorrow the third prince will move out a respectable mother to be his mother, and the petty officials will praise the benefits of the third prince in front of Xiaozong.

As for the rest of the people, they either chose to be neutral, or, like Song Lian, they stood quietly behind Zhengde.

As for whether anyone chooses to collude with the queen, this is not something Zhengde should worry about, it is Xiaozong's trouble.Zhengde politely declined the Queen's "kindness". The Queen frowned first, and then said with a faint smile: "Forget it. You are still young, so you might as well go back and discuss it with Mrs. Xing. I know that Mrs. Xing's mother and daughter are both daughters. The hero, I admire the most, if you are willing to persuade the fifth prince, it will be a great achievement!"

The news that the empress summoned the fifth prince and the mother and daughter of the Xing family immediately spread throughout the harem. Some people didn't know why, some people were preoccupied, and some even scolded Zhengde for not keeping righteousness.

Concubine Song is exactly the last kind of person.

She only thought that the Xing family had deceived her, as if a big stone was blocked in her heart, holding back evil ideas and trying to teach the Xing family a lesson!
