Chu Chengyao raised his eyes and saw a few people walking slowly on the covered bridge in the distance. His eyes stopped on one of them for a moment, and then he grabbed a handful of fish food and threw it into the pond:
"Third brother, who do you think the queen mother will find to help the emperor brother?"
Chu Chengye snorted coldly: "The queen will definitely find the best one, and of course it is the Gu family with the strongest military force in Tianchu. The Gu family has no daughter, so it can only be Gu Hongzhang's granddaughter."
"General Gu is loyal to his father. Even if Miss Lin becomes the imperial brother's concubine, the Gu family may not necessarily be loyal to the emperor, right?"
"Why not? How much the Gu family loves that girl, no one else knows, how can you and I not know? Have you forgotten how the Gu family and the Lin family suppressed you at that time? The Gu family secretly led troops to pacify Yuhui Mountain back then Yes, my cousin was beaten with a military stick for counterfeiting the bandits."
When Chu Chengyao heard this, his gentle smile faded, and he said in a lonely tone:
"What can I do if I, an unpopular prince, am framed and suppressed? It's just that the Duke of Qin's methods are ruthless and they just borrowed a knife to kill people. It also implicated my third brother. I have always felt sorry for my brother."
"What are you talking about? You and I have always been close brothers, and we should share weal and woe. The Duke's government is indeed very clever and calculating. They hid the thief in Yuhui Mountain and dragged my cousin into the water. After scheming with others, they also You are really open-minded to marry someone else."
Listening to Chu Chengye's mocking words, Chu Chengyao sighed:
"I'm afraid that Queen Mother's intentions will fail. With how much the Gu family and the Lin family love Miss Lin, how can they let Miss Lin become a concubine?"
Chu Chengye disagreed and said, "But she is the crown prince's concubine after all. If the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, that girl will definitely be the noble concubine based on her family background."
"It's hard to say what the future will be like. In the final analysis, the concubine is just a concubine, not a wife. The Gu and Lin family have a clean family and never take concubines. Miss Lin is loved by both families, so how can they be willing to let Miss Lin go? Be a concubine?"
Seeing Chu Chengye frowning and thinking, Chu Chengyao said again:
"Back then, the emperor's brother and his wife were married by the emperor's gift. Taishi Yao was the emperor's teacher. The emperor's brother married the granddaughter of Taishi Yao. It became a good story for a while, and it also showed that the father and the emperor valued the emperor's brother."
Chu Chengyao threw another handful of fish food and continued in a calm tone:
"My mother must have been overjoyed back then, and she has loved the emperor's sister-in-law in every possible way over the years. But now that Lin Jinyan is back, the emperor's wife, the warm-hearted daughter-in-law in the past, may only be an eyesore to the mother. After all, there is only one prince behind the emperor's sister-in-law. Master Yao has a false reputation and is hiding in the mountains and is no longer in court."
When Chu Chengye heard this, his brows slowly widened:
"That's right, my father is getting older. At this time, fame is far less important than strength. What's more, behind that girl is not only the Gu family, but also Taifu Lin who is as good as Taishi Yao. I heard about that girl's flower party post, The emperor's sister-in-law sent it to her in person. Our queen mother really kills people and kills people. I feel sorry for the emperor's sister-in-law."
Lin Jinyan walked along, but no one came forward to speak wherever he went. The crowd only looked at a few people. After their eyes stopped on Lin Jinyan's face, they glanced at Princess Yanling and gathered around to whisper.
A woman in a purple shirt stood in front of several people with her maid, glanced at them and then looked at Princess Yanling:
"Are they the daughters of the Lin family?"
Princess Yanling looked at the visitor. Although she was not enthusiastic, she was not hostile either.
