An unexpected palace banquet brought the excitement of the New Year ahead of schedule.

"Shi Jiu, after all, it was the Queen Mother who called the name personally this time..."

Mrs. Mei also knew what the Queen Mother meant, and it was expected that her grandson didn't want to go, but if he didn't go this time, there would definitely be something to say in the palace.

"Grandpa, do you want your grandson to go?"

Mrs. Mei looked at Mei Shijiu and twitched her lips slightly, "If you don't want to go, then you won't go, but you have to have an explanation."

"Suddenly feeling cold, I'm so sick that I can't see you in person."

Mei Shijiu answered naturally, as if that was what happened.

The old Taifu expressed that he understood, nodded slightly and sighed, "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are serious about Jing Fangfei's matter, and it is hard to speak at this moment, but your heart is unpredictable... This time, about King Su's matter, Your Majesty

In order to minimize the big deal, I have already said a few words to me today. From now on, King Su will have to be more careful."

"King Su is a man who must retaliate against evil, and the Holy Father favors him. If he really succeeds in the future, Grandpa, our Mei family will have a hard time."

Mei Shijiu told the truth.

"Prince Su is not your talent..." The old lady's words were not out of personal grudges, but from the bottom of her heart.

Mei Shijiu stood up and went to the bookshelf, took out a book and flipped through it casually, "Grandpa, isn't King Su, where is the prince?"

The old assistant was silent. He once taught the prince whether the prince was suitable to be a king. The old assistant knew very well.

"Grandpa, what do you think of the fifth prince?"

Mei Shijiu's sudden words made the old lady's face change slightly, and she looked at her grandson with some seriousness.

"Shijiu, our Mei family can still stand strong after several dynasties, just because we always insist on one thing, not to form a party for personal gain, and not to participate in the struggle for power..."

Mei Shijiu turned around and looked at the old Taifu with a smile, "Grandpa, my grandson certainly understands that our Mei family is only loyal to the court and the king of the dynasty. My grandson is just chatting with my grandfather."

The old lady was obviously relieved, that's good.

"Speaking of the fifth prince, I was really not impressed before. The fifth prince's biological mother was of low status and had no maternal protection behind him. Now think about it, it is not easy to be able to be stable in the complicated harem all these years, and this time.

…”

"Grandfather said before that when news of the floods came to Jinzhou, the fifth prince sent two petitions for disaster relief, but the emperor ignored them. Grandfather recommended him this time, firstly to return his favor, and secondly, for the sake of the people of Jinzhou, rather than give in.

If Prince Su or the Crown Prince and several other princes' people go there, it would be better to let the Fifth Prince go. The Fifth Prince has nothing to rely on and can only rely on his own ability. If the Holy One agrees, he will definitely do his best to get the job done in order to achieve meritorious service.

, relying on merit to earn a place as king, this should be the best choice for the people of Jinzhou."

"Yes, I have recommended it to the Holy One. There is a high probability that this matter will be successful. At this time, the Holy One is caught between the Crown Prince and King Su. The Fifth Prince is not involved in both sides and has no support, so he has become the best candidate.

."

After listening to Mei Shijiu's analysis, the old Taifu roughly understood what Mei Shijiu meant. These fifth princes were not simple people either.

"Grandfather, I happened to meet the fifth prince today and told him about this matter. My grandson thought the same as my grandfather at first. The fifth prince wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make meritorious deeds so that he could get the title. But...grandfather and grandson seem to have both

Wrong idea."

"oh?"

The old Taifu couldn't help but feel nervous. If this candidate for disaster relief was not willing to provide disaster relief, he would be harming the people of Jinzhou. It was also a big mistake for him to recommend this person.

Seeing the misunderstanding of the old lady, Mei Shijiu quickly explained: "Grandpa, don't be nervous. What my grandson meant, the fifth prince may not be entirely because he wants to take advantage of the opportunity to perform meritorious service, but rather because the people of Jinzhou are anxious."

Today's conversation gave him a new understanding of the inconspicuous fifth prince in the past.

"Seriously?" If so, that would be a real blessing to the people of Jinzhou.

"My grandfather will be able to observe a few things in the court in the future. With my grandfather's eyesight, if I pay attention, I will definitely be able to distinguish the true from the false."

This is just his perception and cannot impress his grandfather's judgment.

The Mei family does not participate in the struggle for power, but if this prince is really suitable to be the king, has the people in his heart, has the country in his eyes, and has the talent to govern the world, when he can, he will lend a helping hand to hide it. The Mei family is loyal.

But there is no need to be foolish and loyal.

"In the future, I will pay attention to it. If this is the case, it will be a blessing to the court. Shi Jiu, I'm afraid your marriage won't be delayed for long. You have to know it in your heart. If you don't want to be the consort, you should make a decision for me early.

Granddaughter-in-law!"

This is the first time that the old lady has issued a wanted order.

Mei Shijiu raised an eyebrow, "Grandpa, I heard that you and the old prince of the Chu Palace played chess together yesterday?"

The old lady's eyes flashed, "So what?"

"It's the trick that the old prince gave you, I guess. This trick may work for Mu Han, but it won't work for me. Grandpa, don't worry about it. As for the marriage... don't worry, my grandson-in-law will definitely be there, but the time has not come yet."

The old lady's eyes lit up and she immediately became energetic. She looked at her grandson with a look of joy, "Have you found a girl you like? Which family? Grandpa will help you find out the details."

It's so rare that the iron tree blooms and the water flows back.

"Grandpa, it's too early to tell. When the time comes, Shi Jiu will definitely let grandpa know."

The old lady was itching unbearably. It would be better not to tell him. Wouldn't this make him anxious?

Which girl is this?

To be able to catch the eye of his grandson and still be so careful, she must be a good girl who is only one in a million.

Oops, the iron tree at Lao Mei's house is finally blooming.

"Grandpa, there is one more thing you can think about when you play chess with the old prince next time."

"ah?"

"What do you think of Fang Fei and Mu Han?" He thought Mu Han was talking nonsense at first, but the boy's reaction... needs to be investigated further.

"What?" The old lady was not calm.

"My grandson just feels that...the second sister's temperament...you don't want your granddaughter to really live the rest of her life."

"Did Mu Han tell you something?" The old Taifu was shrewd. He knew that his grandson would not say this for no reason.

"Oh, he actually said that if the old prince insists on him getting married, he will marry Fang Fei."

Mei Shijiu relayed it seriously. As for the process, it was... between the grandfather and the old prince.

Mei Shijiu dropped these words and left, leaving behind an excited and excited old lady.

Mei Shijiu thought that Yun Chuxue would not attend this palace banquet, but he also underestimated Yun Shangde's lower limit.

Yun Chuxue was suddenly about to enter the palace, and Yun Yingling was caught off guard. She helped prepare her outfit all night while feeling anxious.

She knew that this time Yun Chuxue was going on her own.

"Mother Li, why do you think these six girls want to enter the palace? What is she thinking?"

"Young lady really wants to know, just ask. If you ask, the sixth lady will definitely tell you."

"I know, but she didn't take the initiative to say it. She just doesn't want to talk about it for the time being, so why should I bother this child? I'm just worried that there are too many rules in this palace, and most of them will be noble people who can't afford to offend..."

"Sixth Miss is a sensible person, so don't worry too much, eldest lady. I think the eldest lady should be more careful."

Yun Yinling heard the movements in her hands, sighed and sat down, "I don't know how Liu Yatou told her father that her father actually agreed to let her go. It's strange that the eldest lady doesn't hold grudges in her heart. Mother Li, you have been so busy recently

Pay attention to what’s going on in the house.”
