Princess Zhenbei, who was standing next to Mrs. Gongsun, held her breath subconsciously. People like Qin Zeng had an innate momentum that made people afraid to act rashly.
Qin Zeng walked up to him in a blink of an eye. The child who was no taller than a stone table now needed Mrs. Gongsun to raise her head to see his face clearly.
However, Qin Zeng didn't have any special emotions on his face, "Old madam, you are tired from the journey, please go to the house to rest first."
There were no questions, no pretense, a business-like tone, and no mention of grandmother.
Mrs. Gongsun subconsciously pursed her dry lips.
To others, it seemed that she had countless things to say but no clue. However, in fact, Mrs. Gongsun was unable to use any tricks.
Even if she resorted to the same tricks as her relatives and grandchildren, she would still be performing a one-man show.
When she saw Qin Zeng now, she couldn't help feeling a little scared in her heart!
She is the ancestor and he is the grandson!
Why should she be afraid of him!
Princess Zhenbei supported Mrs. Gongsun and said at the right moment: "Mother, if you have anything to say, let's go into the house and talk."
Mrs. Gongsun suppressed the restlessness in her heart and stepped into the door of the house. Read the book
Gongsun Yi stepped forward, his expression was much more natural than Mrs. Gongsun's, and she seemed to have no grudges, "Brother."
Qin Zeng raised his thin eyelids and looked at him, "Let's go."
*****
Li Mansion.
The small window of Qinghuai Courtyard was half open, and Li Qingyi was leaning on the couch, looking carefully at the book called "Chongnan Scenery" in his hand.
With a sad look on her face, Jilin stepped forward and grabbed her sleeve and said, "Girl, I have read this book back and forth more than ten times. What do you see? Over there, Mrs. Gongsun and Princess Zhenbei's mother and son have arrived. Beijing, no matter what your relationship with this grandmother is, you are my granddaughter-in-law. There is no reason why we should not see each other before the wedding. How can you still sit still now? You must be prepared."
Without raising his eyelids, Li Qingyi lightly traced the family emblems on the pages with his fingertips and said, "So, what do you think I should do to prepare? To please Mrs. Gongsun and get her to treat me sincerely? Don't say that for me, Where does the true love of a stranger come from? Even if she has no grudges with Qin Zeng, there are still several layers of separation between her and her grandson's wife. In other words, if she suffers any anger from Qin Zeng, she will take it from me. get back."
"Then the girl can't just think about everything! There has to be a countermeasure!"
Li Qingyi smiled and said, "If she tries to be soft with me, I will be softer than her. If she tries to be tough with me, we will be tougher than her. Is there any more suitable countermeasure?"
Isatis choked and sighed angrily: "That's true..."
After a pause, she remembered something and said, "Girl, they really didn't know that Mr. Qin was the legitimate son of King Zhenbei before? Didn't you say that Mr. Qin and his mother look similar, and Mrs. Gongsun has never seen him before? Princess Zhenbei has always seen your grown-up appearance, right? She is the stepmother after all, haven’t you ever wondered what the main wife looks like? Haven’t you seen her portrait? Didn’t you recognize Lord Qin?”
Li Qingyi was stunned when he heard this, "I really haven't thought about it yet."
Silan became more energetic and continued: "Although this man only spent one night in prison with the King of Zhenbei, he was the only man she had ever had after all, and she gave birth to a son to him. Her own man was once because of a woman. He had a falling out with his mother and married her back to his family despite everyone's objections. Aren't you curious about what kind of woman she is?"
A woman's mind is the most difficult to understand.
Even though Princess Zhenbei was just a tool to carry on the family line at the beginning, who said tools can't have their own ideas? Besides, she has been operating in the Zhenbei Palace for so many years. With her ability, she is no longer the tool she was just for staying behind.
Li Qingyi sat up straight and said: "The Princess of Zhenbei is so versatile, she will definitely eat up everyone in the house. It shouldn't be difficult to find out about the late Princess from some old servants. As for the portrait, as long as you are willing, you can always do it." Find."
Silan clapped her hands, "That's it! I feel that the Princess of Zhenbei is very deep-minded. Look, girl, since she vaguely knows Master Qin's identity, with her intelligence,
Can you tell that the relationship between the adult and you is unusual? Even if you can't see it, don't you know the connection between King Zhenbei and the Li Mansion? I wonder why Mr. Qin is close to the Li family? In this case, she actually wants to marry you on behalf of her son! "
Li Qingyi felt that the truth about woad was revealed.
She had been looking for flaws in Princess Zhenbei, but was easily exposed by Shia Lan.
She didn't know whether Gongsun Yi really liked her, but did Princess Zhenbei come to propose marriage really for her son?
With Qin Zeng in the way, she must have expected that the marriage would not happen, but she still mentioned it.
why?
Silan seemed to be enlightened by the Bodhisattva, and her mind became clear, "Old Madam Gongsun has always trained Gongsun Yi as the future head of the palace, and she must love him very much. If she knew that her own grandson could not get the woman he wanted, , what will happen if she ends up marrying her most hated eldest grandson?"
Chang Ning on the side was chewing sugar cane and marveled, "How can Princess Zhenbei think so far-term? She has long thought that you will return to Prince Zhenbei's palace one day, so she gave you some eye drops in advance!"
Jian Lan nodded wildly, as if that wasn't enough, and looked at Heng Wu inquiringly, "What do you think, Sister Heng Wu?"
Heng Wu frowned and finally confirmed this statement.
She said: "I have personally experienced the power of Princess Zhenbei. She only stayed in the capital for a few months, and she defeated all the ladies who were wary of her one by one, including our second wife!"
Chang Ning also said: "Princess Zhenbei's power is not as aggressive as other people's. She is so powerful in a subtle way. People are subdued by her without knowing it and think she is good."
Li Qingyi tapped his fingers on the book unconsciously, "That's right..."
It seems that what she and her second aunt said casually before, that Mrs. Gongsun and Princess Zhenbei have a red face and a white face, are really going to come true.
Li Qingyi closed the book "Chongnan Scenery" in his hand and said: "Mrs. Gongsun hates adults. She is dissatisfied with her son's willingness to go against her, so she brought back the daughter of a criminal minister. Because she hates her daughter-in-law, she hates the whole family. This is how Her thoughts are all on the surface, so it’s actually relatively easy to deal with. What’s difficult is Princess Zhenbei’s thoughts..."
Chang Ning was puzzled, "Isn't she just afraid that the Lord will steal her son's position as heir apparent?"
Li Qingyi shook his head, "Your Excellency, you don't care about the position of Crown Prince at all. I don't believe that someone as smart as Princess Zhenbei can't see it. If she wanted to be the Crown Prince, she could use her sincerity to influence you. She would be better than standing beside her. It is much easier for us to be opposites. But she stood beside the old lady and gave us eye drops cynically, hoping to make the old lady Gongsun hate us even more."
The girls looked at each other, even more confused.
"She is a step-brother. It is human nature to fight for her son. If not for her son, then what else could she be fighting for?"
