Although he guessed the development of the story, Jin Miaomiao was not happy at all. Instead, he looked disgusted.
"That's it? That's it? At this level, you still want to listen to politics behind the curtain? Anyone with any brains knows that this kind of trick to save people in danger cannot be used all the time, not to mention that she had clearly told Prince Tong before After she tried to show her kindness, no normal person would believe her, right? Or..." She looked at Shen Cha, Shen Haolin, and then Song Qiyun, "She feels that children don't have much memory, and others should give them some help. What kind of good thing or show of kindness will follow others?"
"It could also be a test. The old lady is suspicious by nature. She mixes the false and the true so that others cannot see her intentions."
"That's true."
After Song Qiyun finished drinking the soup, he looked at the food box and saw that there was still a plate of braised duck tongue, braised chicken feet, and braised wing roots. He took out the last plate of braised chicken feet, picked one and took a bite.
"However, this method is really useful for dealing with ordinary children. Most children don't hold grudges very much, and they don't have much hatred for their elders. Unfortunately, King Tong does not belong to most children. Children who are able to find loopholes and escape from the tight guard of human traffickers cannot be fooled away with a few sweet words."
"The old lady is willing to put down her dignity and go to rescue Prince Tong herself, but he doesn't even appreciate it?"
"I was not ungrateful, but I thanked the old lady very politely and politely for coming to the rescue. However, I declined the old lady's invitation and did not go to her bedroom with the old lady on the grounds that I had other homework to do." Shen Cha raised her eyebrows slightly, "The old lady's plan was over before it even started. However, she did not give up. Originally, she was trying it out this time, and she expected that it would not succeed." She looked at Song Qiyun. , "As you just said, the old lady also knows that King Tong is not an ordinary child, and will not be so easily bewitched like those children who surrounded him and provoked him. If it really succeeds all at once , she still wonders if this is Prince Tong’s trick!"
"This is what the old lady told Prince Tong personally about her thoughts over the years before she passed away. Prince Tong wrote everything in his memoirs." Knowing that Jin Miaomiao had not read the memoir, Song Qiyun explained it thoughtfully. , "This plan failed, the old lady was not too depressed or disappointed. After a few days of slight adjustment, she quickly started her second plan. This plan, seriously speaking, is not more than the first plan. It’s brilliant, but Prince Tong cannot refuse.”
"We are committed and tireless." Jin Miaomiao shook her head in disapproval, "This kind of perseverance is very admirable!"
"You're right. The old lady believes that if one plan fails, you can try another one. There will always be a day when it succeeds."
"So, what weird idea did she come up with this time?"
"Choose a princess for Prince Tong." Shen Cha spread his hands towards Jin Miaomiao, "Emperor Chongde's princess has been decided, and she is the daughter of the Zhen family. As the adopted son of Emperor Jiaren, the other brothers have already decided on the princess. In the case of selection, it is understandable that the old lady proposed to Emperor Jiaren, the Queen and all the concubines to choose a princess for Prince Tong, and no one can say anything or object."
"This is for sure. No matter what you say, as long as you disagree with the old lady's proposal, the old lady can be labeled as not treating Prince Tong equally and not treating this poor child as one of her own family members. If they are discriminated against in the palace, they will be impeached by the officials in the court. Therefore, not only can they not object, they must also actively cooperate."
"Everyone can clearly see the old lady's Sima Zhao intention, but they are unable to decipher it."
"Not only Emperor Jiaren, the Queen and the concubines, but also Prince Tong himself cannot refuse this proposal, because refusing will break the hearts of the elders and is a sign of unfilial piety. The old lady's move is to hit the snake seven inches. It hit their weak spot, so they had no choice but to submit obediently." Jin Miaomiao looked at Shen Cha, "But... if I remember correctly, Prince Tong has always been alone, right? He has not chosen his princess. , there is no mention of this in the history books or his diary."
"No, there is no candidate for the princess. After several selections, they all came to nothing." Song Qiyun finished eating the braised chicken feet and felt a little unsatisfied. He took out the braised duck tongue and gnawed, "Sister Miao Miao, this braised flavor is quite good. , you can try it with cows and sheep next time.”
"Okay, just tell me what you want to eat and I'll cook it for you." Jin Miaomiao nodded, "Tell me, why is it that the selection of the princess is always left unfinished?"
"Because every time the candidate for the princess is selected, something will happen to the prospective princess." Song Qiyun shrugged, "Emperor Chongde and Prince Tong themselves find it strange. In fact, they do not object to the selection of the princess. If it is Miss Zhen's family, In this way, they were very welcoming. In fact, there were indeed two candidates, and they thought they were pretty good, but when they decided to take a look again, something happened to both young ladies."
"Something happened? What happened?"
"One ran away from home without saying a word, and the other fell into a pond and drowned in his backyard for no apparent reason." Song Qiyun spread his hands, "Not just these two, but the others behind them all had accidents."
"All dead?"
"That's not the case. Only that one drowned. Although they all saved their lives, they all expressed their wishes to Emperor Jiaren that they did not want to send their girls into the palace. Emperor Jiaren was also very puzzled and had people check it many times, but No results have been found, and there is no evidence that these accidents were man-made."
"Did the old lady send someone to do it?"
"The strange thing is that the old lady also sent her confidants to investigate. She was also worried that her son and grandson were playing tricks on her. They seemed to be very cooperative on the surface, but in fact they were causing trouble behind her back."
"She didn't find out either?"
"Yes, she didn't find out either." Song Qiyun nodded, "But she didn't believe in evil, so she arranged two more candidates for Prince Tong, and the result... was the same as the previous ones, except that she was almost hit by a flowerpot while walking on the road. , even if you stay at home peacefully, misfortune will fall from the sky. When things have developed to this point, rumors about King Tong's evil star have spread, and no one in the entire Xijing high school is willing to approach King Tong. "
"Besides saying that Prince Tong is a lone star of evil, there is another rumor, that is, the Queen Mother looks down on Prince Tong and deliberately sends people to scare those little girls, not wanting them to marry Prince Tong and wanting Prince Tong to live alone forever. "Chen Cha sighed softly, "The old lady has no choice but to temporarily stop her activities, suppress her desire to continue making troubles, wait for the limelight to pass, and then find new opportunities."
