Chapter 616 The Beginning of the Spring Banquet 1
Chen Huai looked at Shen Qingxi, "Qingxi, is your news reliable?"
Shen Qingxi nodded, "Of course it is reliable. It was mentioned by the eldest princess unintentionally. His Highness of the eldest princess has to enter the palace to see the queen mother every day these days. I know more about the news in the court, and I heard her talk about it unintentionally."
Chen Huai nodded to show his understanding, and began to ponder again in his heart.
The old lady said, "This second prince didn't show off very much before, but now he is a little dazzling?"
Chen Huai smiled and said, "The second prince is not simple. He supervised the matter in Chuzhou a few years ago. It was handled very beautifully. He underestimated him before. I thought he did it on purpose. He did not show off before, just for the sake of the present. The prince and the third prince have been competing against each other for so many years. If he emerged too early, it would not be a good thing."
As he said this, the old lady nodded, "It means that this second prince is a little thoughtful, and he may become a great man in the future."
Chen Huai nodded, but said, "But now the position of His Highness the Crown Prince is still very stable. I heard that the Crown Prince intends to marry Xu Zhiqiu, the princess of the Changxing Hou family. In the future, with the help of Changxing Hou, the Crown Prince's position will only be more stable."
The prince in his previous life married Xu Zhiqiu as the crown prince's concubine. The prince himself was a capable and capable person. In addition, the military power of Changxing Marquis, his status was indeed very stable. Therefore, Chu Qi in his previous life framed Chu Yue's death on the crown prince. No matter how outstanding the prince was, he could not withstand the charge of blood-blooded murder of his brothers. Moreover, Chu Qi did many tricks in private at that time. After that, the court officials attacked him. The emperor had some intention to protect the crown prince, and could not resist the anger of the ministers and opposition from the outside. In the end, the crown prince was deposed and Chu Qi became the most suitable candidate among the remaining princes.
Of course, Chu Ye had no intention of competing for status in his previous life. If so, how could Chu Qi have the share?
When she heard that the prince was still planning to marry Xu Zhiqiu, Shen Qingxi sighed. Xu Zhiqiu had a good life in her previous life. As a princess, her status became more prominent. Although she was prone to slander, she was a straightforward person. The prince was also lukewarm and warm to her. Later, she was still respectful to each other. If it were not for Chu Qi's frame-up, Xu Zhiqiu would probably become a virtuous queen, give birth to children for the prince, and then live her life in the inner palace.
Even if the prince would not favor her, she would not have lived a hard life because of the power of the Changxing Marquis' Mansion. For a queen, sitting in the position of the mother in the world for the rest of her life, and then watching her son succeed to the throne as the emperor, is a very lucky thing. Obviously, Xu Zhiqiu and herself in the previous life did not have such luck. If she had no self in this life, then Xu Zhiqiu would not have such luck, because no matter who Chu Qi married her wife, she would spare no effort to frame her brothers and feet, and finally achieve the goal of sitting in that position...
The old lady sighed, "Now the situation in the court is about to change. I heard that the emperor's health has not been as good as before in the past few years?"
