Chapter 110 Sowing discord
As time goes by, spring goes and autumn comes, summer is hot and winter is cold, five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the Imperial Garden, a woman wearing light blue silk clothes sits in front of a stone table. There is a Go plate on the stone table, and opposite the plate sits a woman wearing a warm white brocade robe and a hair crown. man.
The two sat face to face. Cui Xiu held the chess piece between his fingers and watched Li Qun drop his chess piece. As soon as Li Qun dropped his piece, Cui Xiu curled his lips and put it in his hand. The chess pieces were put back into the jar.
“It’s boring, it’s so boring!”
As Cui Xiu said this, he turned sideways with an unhappy expression on his face. Ever since Li Qun became the fifth prince's first teacher a few years ago, Cui Xiu had been talking to Li Qun on the grounds that he was "concerned" about the fifth prince's affairs. The group plays chess and goes fishing.
When the emperor asked Li Qun to be the first teacher of the fifth prince, Cui Xiu was still very surprised. Although Li Qun was very talented, there was no need to let him be the first teacher.
Cui Xiu always felt that this matter was not that simple. The emperor, Lao Deng, must be holding bad news in his stomach, and he must be testing her and Li Qun.
Cui Xiu knew that Li Xiuhuai was a person who could not tolerate disdain in his eyes. Five years ago, she deliberately disrupted Li Xiuhuai's plan to make her second brother his consort. He must have been suspicious of her for a long time.
Not only is he suspicious of her, he is also constantly suspicious of Li Qun, Li Xiuhuai, wondering whether Li Qun will have an affair with her behind his back.
Li Xiuhuai is like this.
When others have no chance to cuckold him, he insists on forcing others to cuckold him. This is not asking for trouble for himself.
Cui Xiu was really thinking about what would happen with Li Qun.
However, Li Qun didn’t want to, so she had no choice.
In the past few years, Cui Xiu has often deliberately teased Li Qun. Of course, she didn’t really want to have anything to do with Li Qun in her Chuxiu Palace. She was just curious about Li Qun’s Where is the bottom line?
"My Majesty, I have recently taught the prince how to play chess."
"If they know that your Majesty plays chess like this."
"I am afraid that they will not learn to play chess well."
"Your Majesty, you still have to lead by example."
Li Qun's face was calm, and he did not have any complaints because Cui Xiu could not overthrow this behavior in just one move.
When Cui Xiu heard Li Qun's words, she crossed her arms, her eyes slowly moved towards Li Qun, glanced at Li Qun with her peripheral vision, and then said: "Okay, okay."
" Mr. Xu Guogong is right. "
Cui Xiu thought, and heard the sounds of children bickering from time to time. Her eyes were immediately attracted and she saw the fifth and sixth princes walking towards them. .
"Sixth brother, why don't you say anything?"
"I'm going to be so angry."
"How could Third Brother go so far? He actually caught and stewed the rabbit you gave me!"
Fifth Prince Li Ruoyan said with a small mouth, while walking with the Sixth Prince, The sixth prince Li Ruoheng looked calm as he listened, and did not have any mood swings because of Li Ruoyan's words.
“The third brother is really hungry.”
“Since the fifth brother likes that rabbit.”
“Then when my father rewards me again, I will My share is for you.”
The sixth prince has a round face and no expression in his eyes. He is somewhat too calm and does not look like a child over five years old.
When the fifth prince Li Ruoyan heard what his sixth brother said, a smile that showed no interest in money appeared on his face. He took Li Ruoheng's arm, shook it and said, "Fifth brother knows that sixth brother is the best! "
"The little rabbit is so cute, how can you eat it?" "The third brother is too bloody."
"He knows how to bully you."
"Sixth brother, you can't imitate third brother in the future."
"You have to be good!" Although the fifth prince is not a big man, he speaks like an adult who knows how to weigh the pros and cons. This provoking skill Quite skillful.
Others heard this, and they had no idea at first, but when it came out of the fifth prince’s mouth, it made people couldn’t help but think about it.
Cui Xiu heard the conversation between the two, and she was about to speak up, but as soon as the reminder of an attempted cough reached her throat, she was suppressed.
No, her current persona is that of a gentle concubine, and she cannot interfere in Xiao Wu's affairs.
Xiaowu likes to be free, doesn't like others to control him, and doesn't like a "depressed" life.
In the past few years, whenever Cui Xiu wanted to speak or take action to control the fifth prince Li Ruoyan, she would calm herself down, and then her mind would constantly flash back to what Li Ruoyan said to her in the previous life. .
Rather than treating her as a donkey with good intentions and spending energy on the fifth prince, it would be better to open up more connections for her Xiaoliu.
In the past five years, Cui Xiu has also made many new friends in private. Most of these friends disdain to take sides and are unwilling to participate in party struggles.
Except for those officials Cui Xiu had befriended, the remaining officials in the court were divided into two factions.
On one side is the princeling party headed by the Queen's son, Prince Li Ruoze.
On the other side is the King Qin Party, headed by the third prince Li Ruoqin, who was born from Concubine Chun.
The prince is the second legitimate son and is now fifteen years old, while Prince Qin, as the third prince, is only twelve years old this year.
This seems to be a fight between two princes, but rather a fight between parties with the prince as a puppet and a shield.
Those officials each have their own groups, and the interests involved are not small. However, Kyoto is such a big city, and their interests will inevitably overlap.
It is best to deal with it peacefully and calmly through negotiation, but the bad thing is that no one is willing to take a step back, and no one retreats, so now in Kyoto, these two princes can be said to be fighting to the death.
"Yan'er pays homage to his mother."
"Heng'er pays homage to Concubine Jia."
The fifth prince and the sixth prince walked up to Cui Xiu and spoke one after another. Opened their mouths one after another.
When Cui Xiu saw the child, the unpleasant expression on his face softened, a faint smile appeared on his face, and said: "Well, get up."
"Mother Concubine~" After hearing Cui Xiu's words, the fifth prince immediately stood up, walked in front of Cui Xiu, and was about to get into Cui Xiu's arms.
The Sixth Prince on the side walked up to Li Qun and said to Li Qun, "Uncle."
Li Qun had a rare smile on his face and raised his hand to touch Li Ruoheng's. He turned his head and said, "Did you have fun today?"
Li Qun got the sixth prince from Concubine Yun, and Concubine Yun asked him to get it. Anyway, he is also the uncle of the sixth prince to the outside world. , nephew and uncle kiss, this is normal.
No one else can tell.
Cui Xiu did not reject the fifth prince. She had always indulged the fifth prince. The fifth prince had never suffered at all since he was a child, and he had not suffered any sins. He had whatever he wanted.
The fifth prince's temper is impatient and irritable, and he likes to take action when he can't bear it. It's no use even if the King of Heaven comes.
In comparison, the sixth prince raised by Concubine Yun was much calmer.
