Chapter 704: From a humble background 3

"The third lady of the Secretary of Zhao's Mansion?" Chu Qi frowned slightly, and his eyes became deeper for a moment.

However, after turning his head around, Chu Qi did not expect what the third lady looked like, "Have I seen this third lady?"

Cheng Xin said, "I asked, the third lady is the third daughter of Zhao Shangshu, who was born by Zhao Shangshu's second wife. Zhao Shangshu's original wife was his first wife. Although she had been dead for many years, she was missed by him. Now the person in charge of the Shangshu Mansion is a concubine. This concubine was once the maid of the original wife's wife. Because of this, there are rumors in the capital that Zhao Shangshu favored her concubine and destroyed her wife. Therefore, the third lady rarely appeared in the capital and started going out for a banquet before the New Year."

"When this third lady was throwing flowers at noon, she said that she had read His Highness's poems and admired His Highness's talent very much."

After Cheng Xin finished speaking, he stopped talking. Chu Qi frowned while dressing.

Among the princes, he was the least favored, but he didn't expect that he could win a lot.

His biological mother was just a palace maid. After his father was drunk, he was lucky. Later, he asked the boy to give birth to her and then got a concubine. But who in the palace respected her as a concubine? Except for the first and second palace people who served him, who would not laugh at her behind her back?

In addition, even he was the most despicable one at birth. The current Emperor Longzong, his father, seemed to think that it was a shame to be grateful for his mother. He had never loved him since he was a child. Even though he had been studying and practicing calligraphy the most hardworking, even if his talent was above the crown prince and the third prince, he was always the most unpopular prince. The nobles in the capital knew this, and on the surface they were afraid of the royal blood in his body, but in private, no one was extremely despised of him.

According to these people's ideas, it is impossible to throw the bouquet to him today in front of the queen and the imperial concubine.

Whether it is to appear noble or to show kindness to other powerful families, no one should have voted for him. Why is this third lady of the Zhao family?

After changing his clothes, Chu Qi said, "How did they spend money today? I'll give me a detailed description later."

Cheng Xin understood and nodded quickly. Although it was a seemingly playful activity for the female family, these female family members were ordered by the head of the family. From this, it can be seen that the aristocratic forces in the capital were mixed, and Chu Qi was unwilling to give up such an opportunity.

Sitting on the low couch in front of the window, Chu Qi couldn't help but think of the third lady of the Zhao family.

The third lady of the Zhao family was born in the Shangshu Mansion and her status is not low. I think she is also a knowledgeable person. Since that's the case, why did she vote for him?

Concubine Shu took the lead in bidding to Chu Yue, in order not to get involved in the party struggle. If the third lady of the Zhao family was the same, she could vote for Chu Yue or other aristocratic families, but the third lady just voted for him. Chu Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and subconsciously became interested in the third lady.

The night banquet was about to begin, and Chu Qi did not delay much, so he took Cheng Xin out soon.

The palace corridor is long and winding. Chu Qi saw a group of people walking past the outer garden after walking a few steps. Shen Qingxi was the one in charge!
