After that, Princess Changning didn't talk much, and she didn't have the heart to listen to the opera. She just counted on her fingers to count how many days she had left, and Qi Younian could return in triumphantly.『≤,

Ji Xiaotang's mind was also not on the show. She was thinking about the grace that Qi Younian wanted. It may not work for others to take over Shu in three months, but Qi Younian was not completely hopeless. However, this war would be very hard.

However, even if Qi Younian succeeded, can the grace he asked for really be able to ask for?

Ji Xiaotang's whole heart was willing to believe that Qi Younian could ask for, but the judgment she made in her mind was not like this.

After the show on stage finally finished singing, Changning happily returned to the palace. She came out of the palace today not to watch the show, but to share the good news just now with Ji Xiaotang.

Except for Ji Xiaotang, no one can tell this sweet secret.

After Changning left, everyone dispersed.

Ji Xiaotang got up and planned to leave, but saw that only Ji Xiaoyun was still by her side, but Gu Xueer and Zhou Nianhong were gone.

Ji Xiaotang hurriedly asked the people who were serving around him where Gu Xueer and Zhou Nianhong had gone.

"Miss Xue'er said she would go to change clothes, and Miss Zhou went with her." Xiu'er replied hurriedly.

"Oh." Ji Xiaotang nodded, saying that she knew, and while beating the girl to pick up Gu Xueer and Zhou Nianhong, she continued to walk out.

As soon as he walked out of the open hall, Ji Xiaotang saw Gu Xueer and Zhou Nianhong.

They were with Zheng Zi, and Gu Xueer and Zheng Zi stood very close to each other. Zheng Zi smiled very kindly, and Gu Xueer also had a smile on her face, obviously still a little excited.

Zhou Nianhong stood behind Gu Xueer, holding Gu Xueer's sleeve, as if she wanted to pull her away from Zheng Zi. However, Gu Xueer stood still and talked to Zheng Zi while smiling, while throwing Zhou Nianhong's hand away.

This scene is quite interesting.

Ji Xiaotang was not in a hurry and walked over slowly with the people.

"Miss Xueer, Miss Zhou, we should go back. If it is too late, the old lady will be worried." Madam Cheng stepped forward and said.

At this moment, Ji Xiaotang also walked to Zheng Zi.

Zheng Zi's smile remained unchanged, and his eyes moved from Gu Xueer to Ji Xiaotang.

"Minister, you still have such a young aunt, and you grew up with you since childhood. It's really enviable." Zheng Zixian said.

"...I've caused trouble for Sister Zheng." Ji Xiaotang said lightly.

"The county lord is so polite. Miss Xueer is not only beautiful but also has a good temperament. I like it very much when I see you. I wonder if I can invite Miss Xueer to my house as a guest?" Zheng Zi asked with a smile.

Gu Xueer and Zhou Nianhong are clearly together, but Zheng Zi said that there was only Gu Xueer in his eyes.

Gu Xueer's face was already excited and happy at this moment.

She has been compared with Gu Xiaer since she was a child. No one has praised her in terms of appearance or temperament. Today, not only are there people praising her so much, but the person who praises her is also an extraordinary identity.

The youngest daughter of the Zheng Shangshu family, the imperial concubine and the princess's sister, before today. () Gu Xueer almost never dreamed that she would talk to someone with such a status.

Moreover, this person likes her so much and values ​​her.

Gu Xueer almost immediately regarded Zheng Zi as the best person in the world.

Ji Xiaotang naturally looked Gu Xueer's expression in his eyes, and secretly exposed her heart, and her attitude towards Zheng Zi remained unchanged.

"Sister Zheng wants Aunt Xueer to visit her home, which is naturally a good thing. I'm just afraid of disturbing Sister Zheng."

"Don't bother, don't bother." Zheng Zi said hurriedly, while grabbing Gu Xueer's hand and shaking it, looking very close. "I am so happy that the county lord...don't agree."

"What's the point? When we go back and report to our grandmother, our grandmother will definitely be happy." Ji Xiaotang saw that Zheng Zi and Gu Xueer were smiling, and also smiled. "If Sister Zheng is convenient, please come to Xinhuatang, and grandmother will definitely like Sister Zheng."

Ji Xiaotang and Zheng Ziluo said a few words, and Madam Cheng stepped forward and urged her, saying that it was too late to go back, and I'm afraid Mrs. Ji would be worried.

Ji Xiaotang took the opportunity to say goodbye to Zheng Zi, took Ji Xiaoyun, Gu Xueer and Zhou Nianhong straight back to Xinhua Hall.

Old Mrs. Ji was very happy to see them coming back safely. She asked about the situation of listening to the opera in Deyuelou, and became more and more happy. Ji Xiaotang only said one word about Zheng Gui and did not say it in detail. She didn't say it, and Ji Xiaoyun and others dared not talk too much.

When Master Ji Er returned from the banquet outside, Ji Xiaotang said goodbye to Mrs. Ji and talked to Jinghuatang with Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er to Jinghuatang.

Ji Xiaotang did not hide anything from Master Ji Er and Mrs. Ji Er, and told everything about Zheng Gui's arrival at Deyuelou.

"I met Prince Jingsu today." Master Ji Er and Master Ji went out to the banquet together. It was not rare to meet Qin Lin. But what is rare is... King Jingsu was very kind to Master Ji Er. Not only did he ask to have a seat with Master Ji Er when he was in the banquet, he also said a lot to Master Ji Er.

"I'm talking about poetry and prose. I thought to myself that Prince Jingsu was not famous, but was actually a talented young talent." Looking back on what happened at that time, it was not difficult for Mr. Ji Er to realize that Qin Lin was not only particularly kind to him, but even respected him a little.

At that time, he felt a little strange. Even if Qin Lin respected talented people, he should be the great scholars. Although he was a Jinshi, he was also proud of his talent. However, in the Confucian scholars, there were countless people like him.

And if it is his official position, he, a newly promoted fourth-rank official, will become even more like everyone else.

Qin Lin really had no reason to treat him like that. If he had to find a reason, he could only be as Qin Lin said, "He was particularly close to him and fell in love with him at first sight."

Of course, this was what he thought at that time. Now that he heard Ji Xiaotang's words, he finally understood.

Qin Lin's kindness and respect for him was because he fell in love with Ji Xiaotang.

At that time, he couldn't even think of this. To be honest, Master Ji Er had a very good impression of King Su Qinlin. Of course, if you think about it, it was related to Qin Lin's "consideration with his preferences" for him.

"You didn't take Princess Su's Dongzhu, and you still told Princess Su like that?" Master Ji Er asked Ji Xiaotang.

"Yes." Ji Xiaotang nodded affirmatively.

If we say that because of Qin Zhen’s relationship with the Ji family and Qin Zhen’s understanding of the Ji family’s background, she was still a little concerned about Qin Zhen and would not flatly refuse, but Ji Xiaotang did not have so many concerns about King Su Qinlin.

Moreover, Qin Lin is different from Qin Zhen, and must be cut off quickly and neatly.

"Okay. ￠￡," Mr. Ji Er thought for a while and nodded. It was already difficult for Qin Zhen to deal with it. If there was another Qin Lin, the trouble would be more than doubled.

Qin Lin and Zheng Gui signaled to the Ji family and Ji Xiaotang at the same time, and after Qin Zhen asked for the phoenix, there were many meanings of fighting against Qin Zhen.

Regardless of whether Ji Xiaotang would agree to Qin Zhen’s marriage, the Ji family’s position has never changed.

"...Your Majesty has been married for many years, and there are many beauties in the harem. But he has never had any children." Master Ji Er said slowly to Ji Xiaotang.

There was indeed no prince in the palace, but there was a little princess who was born by an ordinary palace maid. She was only five years old now. After the palace maid gave birth to the little princess, she disappeared. Now this little princess is raised in Concubine Zheng’s palace.

Of course, such a little girl would not be regarded as the descendant of Emperor Longqing.

"Your Majesty has no children for many years, and there has been a faint turmoil in the court and the country. The Emperor Daxing has four princes, but Your Majesty has no children, but Your Majesty's brothers have..."

The implication is that Emperor Longqing's throne should be granted to the sage and his brothers.

Emperor Daxing had four princes, the eldest son was born in a vain family and his mother's status was humble. The eldest son himself was also a vulgar person and had no talent. He was not favored by Emperor Daxing. He was beaten to a remote fiefdom in his early years.

The eldest son of the emperor was not granted the title of prince like his other two younger brothers, and he didn't even catch a prince. He was only a marquis.

The status of Emperor Longqing. This person has no hope.

The other two are hopeful, King Jing'an and King Jingsu.

Speaking of which, King Jingsu's biological mother was much higher than King Jing'an's mother. King Jingsu's biological mother was almost favored in the palace and was named the imperial concubine by exception, second only to the queen at that time, which is the current Queen Han.

There are even rumors that if King Jingsu's biological mother, the Imperial Concubine, had not died early, it would be very likely that Empress Han would be replaced at that time. The large emperor wanted to depose Empress Han and renamed Qin Lin's biological mother. It is said that there is also the reason why Qin Lin was there.

Emperor Daxing intends to abolish the original crown prince and change his third son Qin Lin as the crown prince, and then he inherits the throne.

Whether it is the mother who is noble for her son or the son who is noble for her mother, the imperial concubine died early, leaving behind Qin Lin who had not yet grown up. Then Qin Zhen was born, and the matter of reincarnation of the crown prince became a vague one, and no one mentioned it again.

In front there were Empress Dowager Han and the Prince, and behind there was Qin Zhen, the younger and more lovely Qin Lin gradually faded out of people's sight from the most beloved prince in the palace.

However, no one can say that Qin Lin fell out of favor from now on.

As soon as Qin Lin became an adult, Emperor Daxing appointed him as a prince, left the palace to live in the palace, and granted Zheng Gui marriage to Qin Lin as his concubine.

At that time, the prince had already married the princess and had two concubines, one of whom was Zheng Gui's legitimate sister, the current imperial concubine Zheng Rong.

When Qin Zhen became an adult, it was said that the title of Prince An was granted by Empress Dowager Han helped him get it.

Looking at these past events, Ji Xiaotang believes that Emperor Daxing favored Qin Zhen, and perhaps the relationship between Empress Dowager Han and the Concubine Gui, was simply a love for Qin Lin.

Emperor Longqing had no queen, so the two beloved sons of Emperor Daxing had the opportunity to ascend to the Great Treasure. It was not them, but their sons.

Now among the three royal brothers, only Qin Lin's concubine Zheng Gui gave birth to a son and asked to be the crown prince early.

Prince Su is now the most noble and oldest third generation in the royal family.

From this point of view, Emperor Longqing had no queen, Prince Su or Prince Su were the most qualified to inherit the throne.

However, this is not absolute.

Although Qin Zhen did not have a legitimate son, he had a concubine. Moreover, Qin Zhen was young and fierce. As long as he continued to marry a concubine, he would not worry about not having a legitimate son.

Qin Zhen's reputation in the court and the public was above Qin Lin, and Qin Zhen's biological mother, the concubine Gui and Empress Dowager Han, came from the Han family together. In this way, it seems that Qin Zhen and his descendants are more likely to succeed to the throne.

In the court and the country, some people have already calculated that Emperor Longqing would not have children. Moreover, if the disaster is now, the country is unstable. Even if Emperor Longqing chooses female officials to give birth to a little prince this time, it will not stop the growth of King Su and King An in the court and the country.

Many people are quietly taking sides, is it King An or King Su?!

The Ji family did not want to take sides, but in the eyes of people, they came to the capital as the An Wang faction.

The Ji family cannot sway between Qin Zhen and Qin Lin, nor between these two people. It seems smart but is actually stupid. They have long been tied to Qin Zhen.

"Dad, I heard Changning talk about another thing." Ji Xiaotang told Master Ji Er again that Qi Younian sent a memorial and issued a military order to tell him that he would take down Shuzhong in three months.

Mr. Ji Er was also very surprised about this incident.

After all, it was in the first lunar month that the palace received memorials, but most court officials still didn't know about it.

"There is such a thing, and Ayou doesn't seem to be someone who can do such things. Could it be... something happened in Shu?"
To be continued...
