Shangguan Xuebi failed to harm the Ji sisters from Hou Nan. Instead, after being taken away by Zhou Huan's people, she followed closely behind the Ji sisters and acted as a tail.
Ji Jun and Ji Min didn't care whether she followed or not. The two sisters knew that Shangguan Xuebi was a little clever and lonely, and would never cause trouble for them when there was no benefit.
What happened in the past, without the instigation of Juqu Qingshan and others, without the various benefits promised by Juqu Qingshan and Guan Jingqiu, Shangguan Xuebi would not have been able to attack rashly.
At this moment, Shangguan Xuebi remained silent, watching several people in the hall discussing Tian Yu's "marriage" in a serious manner.
The funny thing is that the rightful owner can only watch helplessly and can't do anything at this time.
Shangguan Xuebi looked at Ji Jun secretly and saw her talking and laughing and acting calmly. In front of Princess Tong'an and His Highness the Third Prince, he was not timid or inferior at all.
Shangguan Xuebi had just made a move to teach Tian Yu a lesson, and did so cleanly and without any mercy. Shangguan Xuebi was secretly afraid, thinking that she had gone to the "good neighbor" to cause trouble for Juqu Qingshan and Nangongyan. Several bracelets were "scratched" off the others' bodies, but in fact, Ji Jun was really not ruthless!
Wouldn't it be easy to create an "accident" for yourself in a "good neighbor" or on someone else's territory?
For the first time, Shangguan Xuebi was confused about her past thoughts and actions. Will her aunt and eldest sister really not suffer retribution for doing such harm to others?
Now that Tian Yu has been charged with "tricking slaves and deceiving his master", the rest of the matter will be easy to handle.
Princess Tong'an had Tian Yu brought back to the palace and handed over to Concubine Shangguan Shu.
The next step is to chat, waiting for the arrival of the county leader, Nangong Yan and others.
This time, although the "Flower Appreciation Banquet" was held in the name of Princess Tong'an, many people actually knew that the protagonist was not just Princess Tong'an.
The Lord of Jili County is the main owner of the Prince's Mansion, and is naturally one of the protagonists.
Secondly, several princes, Nangong Yan, Yangxu County Lord and others are also important guests and a small focus.
Therefore, Princess Tong'an did not care that the Lord of Qili County and others arrived late and did not gather around Princess Tong'an.
On the contrary, she was happy to see the results.
The words of the second prince have always made Princess Tongan a little uneasy.
"Royal sister, why aren't you the candidate for marriage? Do you really believe what Regent Liao Rong said?"
Princess Tongan was a little puzzled.
"What if not?"
Everyone in the court said this, what else could she say? Is it still possible to be good and cheap?
Go ask the regent, why didn't you choose the princess to marry?
Princess Tong'an is not very close to the second emperor brother.
The second prince smiled meaningfully and said,
"I know that the emperor's sister is not interested in government affairs. It's a pity that if the emperor's sister is just a girl from an ordinary family, even if she is a county head like Qili and Yangxu, there is nothing wrong with her not caring about everything today. It's a pity that you are born In the royal family, just because you ignore it doesn’t mean you can stay away.”
Princess Tong'an was noncommittal. She was in a whirlpool of power. Even if she did nothing, it didn't mean she could stay out of it.
Just like Chen Meiren, the concubine of the fifth prince, and Concubine Zhang, the concubine of the third prince.
At that time, the prince was the eldest son and was established as the crown prince early. The two of them, Chen Meiren, probably didn't even dare to imagine that their son would compete with the prince.
However, he still died in a daze!
Princess Tongan said vaguely,
"Second Imperial Brother, as a royal son and daughter, you are naturally different from ordinary people. Sister, please spare it."
The second prince broke off a willow branch, played with it in his hand, shook his head, chuckled, took a step closer, and whispered,
"Royal sister, Bei Liao has been at war with us, Dazhou, for many years. Now, the old Khan King Bei Liao is old and the princes are fighting fiercely. Therefore, they have no time to start a war with us. My father is now appeasing Liao Rong, and Liao Rong will naturally recover in the short term. Make good friends with Dazhou. Do you think, will your father marry you to Beiliao next? If the old Khan of Beiliao dies, you will be Beiliao's queen mother, and the new Khan will follow their rules. By marrying you, you will be the queen of the new Khan King. After several princes fought for it, Bei Liao's strength was greatly reduced. In order to keep his throne, the new Khan King will definitely rely on his in-law family. Do you think this is a possibility? Big?"
Princess Tong'an was a little confused. As soon as the news of the "marriage" came, the most nervous people in the palace were Concubine Shangguan Shu and Princess Tong'an.
Although there is another Princess Wuyou, it is a pity that this princess's mother is from a humble background and is still a beauty.
Princess Wuyou has been weak since she was a child and has lived in a deep palace for a long time. Therefore, few people know about the existence of this princess.
Once you need a true "princess" to marry, it's Tong'an.
The second prince saw Princess Tongan slightly stunned, knowing that she was being talked about by him, so he smiled and said,
"But don't worry, imperial sister. Brother Wei is here, and brother Wei will try his best to help his sister escape. However, brother Wei is now in an awkward position, so I'm afraid he doesn't have much weight."
Princess Tong'an calmed down after hearing this. The second prince meant that he was not the emperor now, or even the prince, so he could not decide not to send Princess Tong'an to get married.
However, he still has the ability to "make wine that is not spicy but acetic acid". For example, if Princess Tong'an doesn't listen to him, it is possible for him to add fuel to the fire and say bad things.
Princess Tong'an did not intend to break up with the second prince. People who grew up in the palace had no scheming skills. After seeing many things, they also developed a skill of being hypocritical and submissive.
"The second emperor brother is too modest. Now, the second emperor brother is the eldest brother and a role model for my brothers and sisters. The second emperor brother should take on the responsibility of taking care of his younger brothers and sisters. The younger brother should take care of his father's worries and hope that the emperor brother will be happy. . If Brother Huang has any mission, I will do my best."
The second prince was quite satisfied with Princess Tongan's performance. He narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered,
"If my dear sister is so determined, you should pay close attention to your other brothers. Also, as the princess of Dazhou, you should be closer to our aunt. As a brother, I don't want to be with my aunt in the future. The princess is at odds with you, the princess. Although to get to that position, the princess of Dazhou needs the help, but unfortunately, I don’t believe in that evil!"
Princess Tongan looked at the second prince in confusion,
"Since the emperor doesn't believe it, why bother talking to my little sister?"
The second prince smiled slightly,
"Because I don't want to see the emperor's sister knowing nothing about her abilities, and I don't want to see the emperor's sister being used by some other brother with ulterior motives in the future, without knowing it. In this regard, the emperor's sister is far worse than my aunt. Too many! However, this is not because my aunt is the eldest daughter of the imperial grandmother, but because the imperial sister’s mother-in-law is too stupid. Imperial sister, you and your aunt both have the noble blood of the Zhou royal family, you see Look, in our royal family, are there far fewer princesses than princes? Do you think aunts are important?"
Princess Tong'an was shocked. The second prince didn't mention it, but he didn't think much about it. Now that he mentioned it, it was not the case!
Grandfather has a sister!
My father only has one sister, his aunt!
I only have one sister!
Princess Tong'an has always respected her aunt. Princess Heruichang is the eldest daughter of the late queen and the eldest princess of Dazhou.
It is said that a large part of the reason why her father was able to succeed to the throne at that time was because of her aunt's support for her father.
Princess Tong'an also knew that her aunt now had part of the military power.
This part of the military power is independent of the Duke of Li, the Duke of Qin, and the Yulin Army. It is the "talisman" left to Princess Herui by the late emperor and the late empress.
Only Princess Herui can mobilize this part of the army.
From the information Princess Tong'an learned, she only thought that her aunt had a prominent status and held military power. At the same time, there were some high-ranking officials in the court who came from the princess's family and had a certain influence on some of the court's decisions.
However, my aunt has always lived in a simple life. On weekdays, the dragon never comes back, and she is often not even in the capital.
Especially in recent years, after the prince's brother disappeared, her aunt rarely appeared in the capital. Many people even rumored that her aunt went to visit the immortals and live in Xianyun Yehe.
However, now the second emperor brother not only mentioned his aunt, but also emphasized her. Princess Tong'an really couldn't imagine what influence she could have and what role she could play in their fight to become the crown prince.
Even if he can go and get married, can the emperor brother still expect him to go to Beiliao to get married, and then put pressure on his father through Beiliao?
Even though Princess Tong'an didn't understand government affairs, she knew that in terms of the military strength between Da Zhou and Bei Liao, Da Zhou was not afraid of Bei Liao.
Even if Bei Liao puts pressure on Da Zhou, Da Zhou can completely ignore it.
So this possibility is basically non-existent.
So is it Shangguan Shufei? Princess Tong'an felt it was even more impossible. The mother-in-law didn't have the final say on many things in her palace. How could she decide on the candidate for the prince?
The last possibility, Princess Tongan thinks, is it because she is close to Princess Lu?
Concubine Lu's opinion was indeed almost obeyed by her father, but the problem was that Princess Tong'an felt that she could not influence Concubine Lu's decision-making.
Unless, unless...
Princess Tong'an suddenly thought of a possibility, her body shook violently, and she broke out in a cold sweat!
Unless, unless Princess Lu becomes her own puppet...
