Chapter 50 Bold
When Cui Chu said these words, he completely stepped on what Cui Xiu was worried about. What she was afraid of was that her family would feel too sorry for her. Because they felt sorry for her experience, they would make a fuss. A ridiculous thing happened.
If Cui Chu goes to the palace, Ning Bin can die, but there is no guarantee that she will not say something before she dies.
If Ning Bin tells the truth that "Li Ruoheng is not the emperor's son", then the Cui family will also accompany Ning Bin to hell.
Not only the Cui family, but also Duke Xu's mansion, Concubine Yun, Li Qun, she, all of them will be buried with Ning Concubine.
Based on Cui Xiu's understanding of Ning Bin, if she had something against them, she would definitely reveal everything at such a critical moment, because she has always been a ruthless and clever person.
Cui Xiu looked at Cui Chu and said to them very seriously:
"Second brother, what I want you to hold back is——"
"Get close to Heng'er."
When the three of them heard Cui Xiu's words, the expressions on their faces were a little hesitant, but they could also understand that since the game of chess had been played, they naturally had to be careful in everything. of.
Cui Xiu's unserious atmosphere lasted too long. The next second, she softened her brows and continued:
"Of course, we can get along well with Heng'er in private."
"But on the surface, we can't show it."
Not to mention her brothers and sisters, even she herself can't be too close to the sixth prince on the surface. Her family has to endure it. Hold on, she has to hold back herself.
"If Heng'er is given trouble in the future, he will be in trouble."
"You also have to endure your heartache and let him solve it on his own."
Cui Xiu knows that letting go is easy to say but not easy to do, but no matter how difficult it is, she will still do it. Learning to let go, a lot of it needs her Heng'er to feel it herself.
Suffering a loss is not a bad thing. It is a good thing to gain wisdom from a small loss and gain a big inspiration from a small loss.
"This" Cui Jin, who was listening on the sidelines, couldn't help but become serious when he heard these words. Isn't this a little too cautious?
“Little sister, although we don’t know why you made this decision.”
"But, since you said so, we will do it."
"It will not disrupt your plan."
Cui Yu quickly accepted Cui Xiu's request, Cui Jin and Cui Chu on the side heard the elder brother's words and followed him with their eyes from time to time.
Cui Yu is older. As a civil servant, he has been in the officialdom for several years. He understands Cui Xiu's thoughts. Although Cui Xiu did not mention the emperor, he can tell that this matter is probably For what reason.
The army returned victoriously and should have been rewarded based on their merits, but His Majesty took back the military talisman. Although they gave it to them on their own initiative, His Majesty also wanted it intentionally.
When there is no war in the world, military generals are dangerous people. Your Majesty is afraid of military generals, and naturally he will also be afraid of the generals' families.
The Cui family has made great achievements in the military outside, and has made great contributions to the royal family by giving birth to a prince inside.
How can the emperor reward these two things together? Rewarding too little will make people feel underestimated, while rewarding too much will make people feel valued.
After a few rounds, there will definitely be something to say among the Kyoto bureaucrats, and maybe they will secretly take sides, feeling that Cui Xiu's child will do great things in the future.
But such an idea is absolutely unacceptable, because the Queen is still here, and the Emperor’s eldest son, the Prince of the East Palace born from the Queen, is deeply loved by His Majesty.
Now that there is a prince and a crown prince, the other princes can no longer make great achievements.
The prince who cannot achieve anything is expected to have high expectations. Such unequal expectations often bring a lot of invisible pressure to the child.
Growing up under such pressure is not a good thing for children. Since Ning Bin wanted to send her child to such a position, it is understandable that Cui Xiu would go along with the situation.
Nowadays, the fifth prince can serve as a shield for Cui Xiu’s children. When everyone turns their attention to the fifth prince, the other princes will naturally be dim.
The darkness in the eyes of others does not mean his own darkness. The Sixth Prince can grow up well with low expectations, recharge his batteries, and hide his talents and bide his time.
When they fight to the death and both sides suffer losses, they reap the benefits.
This is what Cui Xiu thinks.
Cui Yu felt a chill on his back when he thought of this. He never thought that his straightforward and innocent little sister could actually make such a long-term plan.
If Cui Xiu had not told them, they would not have been able to think so much for a while. He could only say one thing.
His little sister has really grown up. Although she was plotted by others, she has also learned to plot against others.
“Since the eldest brother already understands what I mean, I won’t say any more.”
“Second brother, third sister, if you have anything you don’t understand, you can ask the eldest brother. "
"I believe that the elder brother can explain it much better than me."
After Cui Jin and Cui Chu heard what Cui Xiu said, they had no intention of continuing to ask, and then they asked. Don't talk about this anymore.
Change the topic to some lighthearted and pleasant topics, and then let the waiter serve food and wine, and chat while eating.
After eating for a while, Cui Xiu left the box in Chu Gong's name and walked towards the box where she had just seen Li Qun.
Cui Xiu thought to himself that he didn’t know if Li Qun was still there.
If they were there, they would just take the opportunity to chat. If they were not there, then she would go back and continue chatting with her brother and sister.
Cui Xiu walked to the door and stopped, leaning his head against the door to listen to the sounds inside.
It was very quiet inside, but no one's voice could be heard. Cui Xiu thought to himself, could Li Qun have left?
Li Qun came to Jingyue Tower just to eat? However, it is indeed understandable that Jingyuelou is the most upscale restaurant in Kyoto, so it is not unusual for dignitaries to come here to eat.
Just at Cui Xiusi's elbow, a voice came from her ear: "Why are you here?" When Cui Xiu heard the voice, before she could turn around, a hand passed over her shoulder and pushed open the door of the room.
“Go in and talk.”
Although Cui Xiu didn’t see anyone, she could hear the voice and it was undoubtedly Li Qun.
The two of them entered one after another. Cui Xiu glanced around and saw that there was not much difference in the furnishings between the private rooms. They were almost the same as the one she had just stayed in.
Cui Xiu thought about it, then turned around and saw Li Qun wearing a dark blue brocade dress with his hair tied up, and his white jade belt made him look particularly noble.
She was a little lost for a moment, thinking that after so many years, Li Qun's amazing talent and beauty, and Lang Yan's unique temperament have not diminished at all.
When I saw him, he was either wearing official uniform or black clothes, but he didn't look like what he looked like before.
Cui Xiu's eyes were not covered in any way, and he looked at Li Qun openly, without any intention of shying away.
"Your Majesty, please be careful," Li Qun reminded.
