Chapter 173 Careful Layout
Preparations for the annual banquet in the palace have begun again. In the harem, the empress no longer controls the central minister. Now it is Concubine Yungui who is in charge of everything in the palace.
The banquet started in the evening, and everyone in the group had made preparations. Before the banquet started, Concubine Chun specially asked the third prince to go with her.
As for why? That's because she has already told everything. Ning Bin and the fifth prince will definitely not be able to escape tonight.
Chun Fei thought that the relationship between Ning Bin and the fifth prince was unusual. In this case, she specially designed such a scene, which can be regarded as restoring reality.
If Ning Bin had not seduced the fifth prince, then even if she sat through this situation, she would not have been able to frame these two people. The only thing to blame was that they were morally corrupt and contrary to human ethics.
The fifth prince must not be retained. If such a prince is retained, who will be in charge of the future of Kyoto City?
"Jier, please wait a moment, and we will go there together in half an hour." Chun Fei sat down at the round table leisurely, took a sip of a cup of tea, and then continued Said: "You must remember."
"No matter what happens today, you must not be involved in it."
"You just need to take care of yourself."
Chun Fei had prepared for the worst. He knew that their chances of winning were very high, but he was not afraid of 10,000, just in case.
If Ning Bin wants to seduce them, the worst she can do is lower her face and argue with Ning Bin. Even if the emperor doesn't want to see her anymore, he will not involve the third prince in this matter.
As long as the emperor has no estrangement in his heart towards the third prince, there is still a high probability that the position of prince will fall on his son, the third prince.
As the saying goes, parents love their children, and they have far-reaching plans.
Now that she has given birth to the third prince, she must make plans for her own child.
Not everyone in this world is Cui Xiu. After giving birth to a child and throwing it aside, without caring about it, and letting it grow wildly and become a weed, it has caused trouble.
The third prince frowned when he heard what Chun Fei said, not quite understanding what Chun Fei meant.
Concubine Chun did not tell the third prince about her plan, because he really knew the emperor. If the third prince knew about their plan, the emperor would ask questions once the matter was exposed.
The expression of the third prince will definitely show some traces of knowledge, and the emperor's suspicion will be revealed in his heart.
I will never trust the third prince again in the future.
Concubine Chun has always understood one thing in her heart, that is, in the harem, if you want to get some benefits, you must take risks and dare to gamble. Peaceful days do not exist in this harem.
"Concubine, what do you mean by this? Have you arranged something?" The third prince is not a fool, nor is he a child. He can hear what is hidden behind Concubine Chun's words. meaning.
The more Concubine Chun didn’t want to let the Third Prince pass, the Third Prince wanted to get to the bottom of it, which really gave Concubine Chun a headache.
When Concubine Chun heard the third prince’s question, he had no intention of clarifying it with the third prince. He just said a few words to Xi Nizi and said: "Today's scene is not small. There are respectable courtiers in Kyoto. Today Everyone will come.”
“Don’t you want to be the crown prince? Then you have to show these people why you can be the crown prince.”
"You have to do what you should do."
"Don't worry about what you shouldn't do."
"You can get angry just by thinking about it." Chun Fei transferred the words to the courtiers. This made the third prince's attention change direction.
The third prince heard Concubine Chun’s instructions. He nodded. He was much more patient today than in previous days and responded: "I understand."
"I will definitely do it well today. ""I will definitely not embarrass my mother and concubine."
The third prince vowed to Concubine Chun, and Concubine Chun looked at the third prince meaningfully, feeling a little more emotional in her heart.
This child is old and should be sensible.
After the explanation between Concubine Chun and the third prince, there was also a good show in Chuxiu Palace.
The fifth prince has been hanging around Cui Xiu from time to time in recent days, thinking that he can get closer to the uncles of the Cui family.
However, Cui Xiu always declined politely because his two brothers were busy with affairs and the fifth prince himself had a lot of homework and could not find overlapping time to meet each other in recent days.
The fifth prince heard what Cui Xiu meant, and his attitude towards Cui Xiu was not as good as it was at the beginning. If Ning Bin hadn’t coaxed the fifth prince to go, the fifth prince would rather not have the Cui family’s help. , and no longer wanted to please Cui Xiu.
After all, the fifth prince is still young, and teenagers are at the age where they care about face.
If he is asked to put his face in front of other people's hands over and over again and be "beaten" severely, his sense of shame is somewhat overwhelming.
Ning Bin knows, but he is not a teenager. He must advise the fifth prince to be patient. After all, with the help of the Cui family and without the help of the Cui family, the difference is still very big.
Why he chose Cui Xiu in the first place was because of the power behind Cui Xiu, and Cui Xiu was an upright and straightforward person.
He doesn’t have a lot of twists and turns. He keeps everything straight and easy to say.
But Concubine Ning watched the fifth prince being rejected by Cui Xiu over and over again, and he also had some doubts in his heart, why Cui Xiu suddenly changed his temper.
When he thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was not sudden, but that it had been different a few years ago.
Since Cui Xiu gave birth to the child, although the superficial personality has not changed much, the change in temperament can still be seen in the details.
Cui Xiu didn't seem to care about anything, and she didn't want to get involved in trivial matters, but she could clearly understand what the fifth prince said, and she also knew what the fifth prince wanted to do with her.
But he always pretended not to know and rejected the fifth prince's ideas with various euphemistic expressions.
But the fifth prince is her child after all. Even if he does not want the fifth prince to participate in the battle for the throne, isn't it a very reasonable thing to let his children get along with his brothers more?
Why does she always refuse like this?
It's really strange.
Could it be that Cui Xiu knew something he shouldn't know? For example, the fifth prince was the child of his concubine Ning, not Cui Xiu's.
Will she know about the plan of "civet cat for prince"?
Ning Bin felt a little frightened when she thought of this. She sat in her palace, her eyes were a little distant, and she had many doubts in her heart from time to time.
If Cui Xiu knew about this, how could he live peacefully for so many years? Shouldn't he go to the emperor to make trouble? Or he was trying to make things difficult for her.
But Cui Xiu did nothing.
In other words, Cui Xiu actually did it, but she just didn't know it.
"Empress Ning." The fifth prince's voice interrupted Ning Bin's thoughts.
