"Mother, may you guess the reason?"

Chu Ming was also discussing this matter with Concubine Yi. Emperor Chu Wen's decision this time was beyond everyone's expectations.

Concubine Yi is usually very low-key and doesn't care about anything if she doesn't fight for it. However, without the help of her mother-in-law, her transformation from a palace maid to one of the four concubines is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

"What was the reaction in the court?"

Chu Ming thought for a moment, "Originally, the prince's side suffered frequent losses, and some people had begun to waver. But after this incident, many people felt that the father actually valued the prince, otherwise it would be impossible not to pursue such a big matter.

The number of people supporting the prince, instead of decreasing, actually increased. "

After Chu Zhi went to Jiangnan to deal with the flood last year, his reputation among the people continued to rise. In addition, Emperor Chu Wen's love for him won the support of many people.

Over the past year, Chu Ming had suffered repeated defeats, which was becoming more and more unfavorable to him.

But after this incident, Chu Ming regained support in the court.

After listening to Chu Zhi's words, Concubine Yi looked pale. She more or less guessed that Emperor Chu Wen might not have thought of letting Chu Zhi ascend the throne.

"The art of checks and balances."

Yun Shang and Xie Qing'an said in unison. They reorganized the matter and thought of the reason after receiving the news that Chu Ming was a blessing in disguise and regained support.

"I'm afraid the emperor has never thought about letting the second prince ascend the throne, at least he doesn't want him to become the crown prince too early."

Emperor Wen of Chu framed the former crown prince and seized the throne from the former crown prince.

If he did something like this himself, he must be preventing his son from doing the same thing.

Chu Ming became increasingly weak in the court. After something happened to Cheng Yue, Chu Ming was affected and lost a lot of support.If he deposed Chu Ming as the crown prince, Chu Zhi would be the dominant family in the court, and no one could suppress Chu Zhi.

Emperor Chu Wen was in good health and would definitely not want to see this situation or let anyone threaten his throne.

Therefore, he treated Chu Ming lightly and did not punish such a serious matter. The green thumbs in the court would again favor Chu Ming, making Chu Ming and Chu Zhi evenly matched.

If these two people check and balance each other, his throne will be more stable.

In fact, Yun Shang felt that Emperor Chu Wen might give the other princes a chance to contain Chu Ming and Chu Zhi, so that their attention could be diverted to the other princes.

Emperor Chu Wen was really cruel, but it was also true that there was a problem with the death of the late emperor, and he stepped on the corpse of the former prince to sit in this position.

The lives of his father and brother were not taken seriously, and the same was true for his son's life. After all, he had six sons, and he could have children even if he wanted to.

The throne is the most important thing to him.

Zhuang Yaxian didn't go to the banker, and she quickly figured it out.She always felt that Emperor Chu Wen wanted Chu Zhi to ascend the throne, but now it seemed that Chu Zhi was not the one he chose.

He was afraid that he didn't want to give up the throne to anyone at all.

Song Zishu didn't understand or care about what happened in the court. She was confused about her future.When she returned to the Song family full of worries, Mrs. Song's grandmother was waiting in her yard.

"Second Miss, you are back. The Master and Mrs. asked you to tidy up when you come back and go see Mr. Xi."

Upon hearing this, Song Zishu's heart skipped a beat. On the way back, she kept thinking that she might have thought wrong. With so many people coming to the capital from outside every day, how could it be Xi Yi?

Now it is certain that that person is Xi Yi.

"Mom, wait a moment, I'm going to change clothes."

Now that she was back, she had to face this matter. She went back to the room, changed into a set of clothes and walked out.

Aunt Liu took a look and reminded her carefully: "Second girl, are you looking too plain and elegant?"

Song Zishu likes to wear plain and elegant clothes on weekdays, but those clothes are only light in color, but in fact they are complicated and exquisite in workmanship.But what she is wearing today is a really plain, very ordinary white skirt, with a few small white flowers symbolically embroidered on it.

Not only the skirt, but also a wooden hairpin carved by Song Ziyu on her head, and no other accessories.

Even girls from ordinary families are not so plain.

"I think it's good. Don't keep the guests waiting."

Song Zishu had 1 reluctances in her heart. It would be best if Xi Yi looked down on her and returned to Jiangnan as soon as possible.

Aunt Liu was just a servant. After reminding her, she said nothing more and led Song Zishu to the reception room in the front yard.

Before reaching the hall, I heard Song Yonghong's hearty laughter from a distance, "Okay, okay, he has the style of your grandfather. Your grandfather also did this kind of thing when he was a boy. At that time..."

"Master, Madam, the second girl is here."

Song Zishu was already walking very slowly, but he still arrived at the living room. When he looked up, he saw that the person sitting next to his second brother was the one he saw on the street.

"Zishu, you came just in time. This is Xi Yi from Wu Anbo's house that your grandfather often mentioned to you. He is also a good friend of your second brother. You can call him cousin Yi."

Wu Anbo's family also has some kinship with the Song family. These families in the capital are so complicated that they can all have some kinship.

"I've met Cousin Yi."

No matter how reluctant Song Zishu was, he still couldn't find any problems with etiquette.

After the exchange of greetings, Mrs. Song pulled Song Zishu to her side and said with a smile on her face: "It's a coincidence that today, thanks to your cousin Yi, I saved your third aunt's nanny on the street."

"Third Aunt's nanny?"

Song Zishu was slightly surprised. The third aunt was Concubine Yi who entered the palace. Since Concubine Yi passed away, few people mentioned her because she was worried that her grandparents would be sad.

Is the woman who bumped into the Li family's carriage on the street today the third aunt's nanny?

If this is the case, Xi Yi has been wronged. The third aunt's nanny will never touch the porcelain money. After all, as long as she comes to Yongninghou Mansion, her grandfather and grandmother will take good care of her.

Song Zishu frowned slightly, so she thought too much before, did Xi Yi really do nothing wrong?

but!

Changshang said she didn't like Xi Yi either.

Song Zishu believed in Yun Shang. Yun Shang was smarter than her. Maybe she was wrong. They couldn't be wrong at the same time.

"Was the third aunt's nanny hit by Li Guogong's carriage?" Song Zishu suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked.

"Have you also heard about this? I've met that girl from the Li family twice, and she was indeed pampered by Duke Li. Her carriage hit someone, and she even accused Cuiniang of taking the initiative to hit her carriage to extort money.

Fortunately, your cousin Yi passed by and sent me to the hospital. "

This is really the case.

Song Zishu's eyes flashed and he raised his head to look at Xi Yi, "What did Miss Li San say? Did she admit that her carriage hit someone?"

Xi Yi always had a faint smile on his face, "After being sent to the hospital, Miss Li San admitted it and said she was wrong. It was her carriage that hit someone, and she even paid the money."
