Chen Boyuan covered up his disgust for the old man and then contempt for Xiao Lingzhao. However, when facing Empress Chen, he still felt a little warm: "Auntie, don't mess up. The battle for the throne has changed a few times in ancient times, so don't worry about it."

When he heard his words fluently and seem to be confident, Empress Chen felt much more at ease.

Now that there is a big plan in hand, even if the father and son of Dingbei Hou have evil intentions, what's the use of their men and horses thousands of miles away?

"It's still the elder brother and nephew who are calm. These days, whether you are your grandmother, your aunt and the others, you will always persuade the palace to plead with your Majesty. There is no good way. Now that my aunt is waiting for you to come, she finally waits for the backbone."

Chen Boyuan hurriedly said, "In order to see my aunt and cousin as soon as possible, my nephew didn't dare to stop and ran all the way. He entered the city earlier than the students who took the literary exam. It's a good thing that my cousin has moved outside the palace now."

This is not the case with Xiao Lingzhao. Although Zhenbeihou's family went to Beiguan, there was still a mansion in Sui City.

In the past, if Chen Boyuan wanted to see him, he would have to enter the palace. In the future, it would be more convenient for the two to interact outside the palace and would not be so arrogant. After all, there must be records of entering the palace. It is too clear that the father and the emperor have always been taboo to his uncle, which will definitely cause his dissatisfaction.

"My cousin came with my uncle's plan and gave me a reassurance. Cousin, you don't know anything. There were twists and turns a few times ago. I am really..."

The way Xiao Lingzhao was so angry that Empress Chen was so angry that she saw him. Seeing that her nephew was still handsome and calm for so many years, it was a pity that the queen didn't know that there was no comparison and there was no harm, but she also felt that Xiao Lingzhao was not very upright.

Therefore, when Xiao Lingzhao first complained, he looked over and said, "Cousin, I heard that there is a restaurant in this city called Yuchunlou, which is set up by the prince consort. It is better for my cousin to take my cousin to see it?"

Queen Chen felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Qin Feng's name. Although the previous two incidents seemed to have nothing to do with Xiao Lingyao and Qin Feng, the couple made Tang Xiang so embarrassed, which made her feel scared.

What she was most worried about was whether the couple had accepted the favor from other princes in private. One of them was not involved in politics and the other had not entered the officialdom, and it seemed to be without any threat, but both of them were trusted by Emperor Yuan, and this was the best backer.

For this backer, it is not difficult to guarantee that someone will come to show his goodwill. When Queen Chen thought about it, she immediately said, "The Yuchun Tower is quite famous among the people and is now the number one restaurant in Sui City. When Bo Yuan left, he didn't know where this Yuchun Tower was."

"It can be seen that my nephew has been away from Sui City for too long." Chen Boyuan looked at Xiao Lingzhao and smiled and said, "Cousin, how about you why not leave the palace now?"

After sending off his own son and nephew, the smiles piled on Queen Chen's face immediately dissipated. Aunt Qiong'an said, "Empress, it is indeed a good thing to join the Ministry of Personnel, but now Your Majesty is angry with Your Highness, how can you let Your Highness enter the Ministry of Personnel for training?"

Originally, as the crown prince, he received comprehensive teaching, not just affairs of the Ministry of Personnel. Almost the affairs that the king would manage in the future would allow the prince to try in advance. Now that he has no identity, Xiao Lingzhao has not received further arrangements, but has become a marginal figure.

The control of Kunning Palace in the past few days has been lighter than before. It is said to be a secret prison, but people from Kunning Palace have been allowed to enter and exit.

News from outside can also come in. The second prince and the third prince were in the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War. The two were exposed by Emperor Yuan for the last time because of the incident of putting a spy in the princess's mansion. After being scolded, they were much more restrained, but instead received the reward from Emperor Yuan.

As for the fourth prince, Empress Chen never took this person seriously. The outside family was so weak that it was not worth mentioning, and it was not enough to be afraid.

Empress Chen closed her eyes slightly, Qiong'an was right. Joining the Ministry of Personnel is indeed a good thing in the long run, but how to convince Emperor Yuan?

She suddenly opened her eyes and smiled, "Our Majesty seems to be invulnerable, but in fact she has weaknesses. Why not use his weaknesses to trade with him? "

Aunt Qiong'an shivered. How could she not know the queen's plan? She was planning to exchange it with Emperor Yuan for Princess Jinhua's biological mother!

"My Lady, don't be impulsive." Aunt Qiong'an hurriedly knelt down and said, "Princess Jinhua and that person are both Your Majesty's rebellious scales, so you should not touch them easily. Please ask the Queen to think about it again, otherwise it will only put Your Highness in a more difficult situation, let alone the Queen knows not much."

Although I don’t know much, I have met each other. When I think of that face, Queen Chen’s face tensed again.

Empress Chen was impulsive. When she thought that Emperor Yuan had to hold back his position as the eldest princess Xiao Lingyao, she had already had a scheming in her heart. At this time, she clenched her fists slightly: "But what chips do I have in this palace?"

Since Chen Boyuan came in, Qiong'an shook his back and ordered only a few real people to stay outside the palace. At this time, she checked again and then knelt at the queen's feet again.

She was originally an old man from the Chen family. She was ordered by Empress Chen’s mother to serve her. When she was still in the Chen family, she was not an ordinary maid. She gritted her teeth and said, “The Empress is not without chips, but this chip will hurt the Chen family.”

Aunt Qiong'an made a fuss and attached herself to the queen's ear for a whisper. Queen Chen's face changed drastically, and her eyes looked at the close-fitting palace maid a little complicated: "Even I don't know about this, where did you know about it?"

"It's from the old lady..." Qiongan had known that her fate was in the same voice as the queen, so he did not dare to hide it: "Except for Zhenbei Hou, the rest of the male men in the Chen family were sent to a useless position, and the master was always planning a way out."

The way to retreat? Only then did Empress Chen realize what his father was thinking. The way to retreat was to secretly support Zhenbeihou and let the side branch carry something that could not even be called a concubine's son to reach a high position?

"Since you know such a secret, why do you want to tell me?" Empress Chen looked at this close-fitting palace maid with different eyes for the first time. In addition to her, how many other eyes and ears in Kunning Palace are from her father to tell the Chen family about her every move?

What is Chen Wanrong? She is just a chess piece in their hands. Is Zhao'er finally abandoned by them because of the blood of the Xiao family? She is the legitimate daughter of the Chen family, so what is Chen Tianxiao!

"Does Zhenbeihou herself know about this?" Empress Chen thought of Chen Boyuan's offering of gifts just now and found it ridiculous.

Aunt Qiong'an shook her head: "Although the master has this intention, he did not let Zhenbeihou know. After all, Zhenbeihou is only from a side branch, not a legitimate bone and blood, so the master has other plans."
