Mozun married to

In Jianxin Palace, the eldest prince Teng Yi walked back and forth anxiously in the inner room, while Concubine Yun Gui was putting on her makeup in front of the mirror with a calm expression, as if she couldn't see the eldest prince's impatience.

"Mother Concubine, the news has already spread, aren't you in a hurry?" The eldest prince stood behind Concubine Yun, with a ruthless look in his eyes.

"What's the use of being anxious? What should come will always come."

"Then we can't sit still. What is that woman? The emperor wants to make her queen! Did he ever remember the promise he made to our mother and son?"

Concubine Yun Gui sneered at the mirror, stood up and patted her son on the shoulder, "My son, don't be naive, you are also a man, don't you know that in the eyes of your father, our mother and son are just threats to his enemies? "

As for the sworn vows back then, hehe, those are subject to change, Concubine Yun only hated herself for not getting rid of that woman back then.

But she also knew that without Concubine Rong, there would still be Concubine Zhang and Concubine Li, without the emperor's favor, any woman could climb over her head.

The eldest prince clenched his fists tightly, and asked hesitantly, "The thing that uncle arranged before...?"

Concubine Yun waved her hand, "Don't mention that, now your father's side is like a copper wall, there is no chance to attack."

She also regretted not taking advantage of the time when the emperor still trusted them, but there is no medicine for regret in the world, and Concubine Yun Gui knows this best.

"By the way, what's the third brother doing?"

The eldest prince sat aside, curled his lips, "No, the person monitoring the third one said that he was in love with Huo Qi, and he didn't even come out."

Concubine Yun nodded his forehead, "You, you are still too young. The third child has endured for so many years, how could he watch another woman sit on the throne of queen? And let the son of that bitch sit on the throne of prince? "

"Then what can he do?" The eldest prince never paid much attention to himself as the third younger brother. Even if he has done some practical things in the past two years, it is not too outstanding in his opinion.

"Don't forget, there is Huo Tian by his side, even King Qin was defeated by him, with his help, the youngest is like a tiger with wings."

The face similar to someone flashed in front of the eldest prince's eyes, his palms were a little sweaty, "Then let's get rid of Huo Tian first?"

Concubine Yun glared at him, "The idea is very good, but what are you going to do with him? He can break through a city alone, and you still want to make enemies with the Huo family?"

A Huo Qi is so scary, if they really become enemies with the Huo family, how can the mother and son have any chance of winning?

Although the Huo family does not participate in the battle for the throne, as long as they do something secretly, they can affect the overall situation.

It's not that Concubine Yun has never tried to win over the Huo family. She deliberately made friends with Mrs. Huo and even asked her son to get close to Huo Yilong, but she didn't achieve the results she wanted.

The First Prince was a little disbelieving, "The only thing he is afraid of is formations. No matter how high his martial arts are, if he confronts head-on, he will definitely be hard-pressed with two fists."

"No, it's best to start with the Huo family if you want to solve this hidden danger. You can listen to me." Concubine Yun Gui whispered a few words in the eldest prince's ear.

After hearing this, the eldest prince's heart moved, and an inexplicable emotion rose spontaneously.

Concubine Yun Gui sighed, "Competing with the Huo family in force is to bring shame on ourselves, we can only outwit it."

The eldest prince lowered his eyes, "Don't worry, Concubine Mother, I will make arrangements, but Concubine Rong..."

Concubine Yun played with her nails, "She is nothing to worry about. Your father may not really like that child, but he just thinks he is not a threat. Without this child, there will be another one. I have already written to your uncle. Let's talk about it when he comes back."

The eldest prince didn't like this uncle very much, but with the help of the Yun family, the mother and son could indeed relax a lot.

"Father, can you allow him to come?"

"Next month is my concubine's birthday, I will go and beg your father." After so many years of husband and wife, Concubine Yun Gui has already thoroughly studied the emperor's temperament, and it is not a problem to do one or two things.

The eldest prince walked out of the palace, looked back at the majestic palace, and got on the horse after a long time, "Go to Marshal Huo's mansion."

Huo Zhengquan and Huo Yiming are still in the northwest, and Huo Yidao is in charge of the mansion, while the inner courtyard is still controlled by Mrs. Huo, but her hands can only reach so far.

When the eldest prince was sitting at Huo's house, he realized that he hadn't seen Huo Yilong for a long time. He was usually busy with affairs, so naturally he would not take the initiative to meet anyone. Looking at him, it seems that Huo Yilong hasn't appeared in the past six months.

The housekeeper of the Huo family hurried over, "Prince forgive me, Fifth Young Master is in seclusion and cannot see guests."

"Retreat?" The eldest prince is unfamiliar with this term, but thinking about the situation of the Huo family, he can understand why Huo Yilong is working so hard.

"When will you leave the customs?"

"It's hard to say. The marshal told me before leaving that if the fifth young master can't make a breakthrough, he will continue to retreat."

The housekeeper frowned. It was strange to say that Fifth Young Master's talent was considered the best among many young masters, but he hadn't improved at all in the past two years. At the beginning, they thought it was the result of Fifth Young Master's lack of effort, but they practiced hard for a while. After that, there is still no improvement.

"Then do you know when the Marshal will return?" the First Prince asked casually.

"This slave doesn't know about it. The Marshal's whereabouts are never revealed."

The eldest prince didn't hold much hope, and nodded, "Then please tell Mrs. Huo that my concubine hasn't seen her for a long time, and I miss her very much. If she is free, you can go to the palace to talk to her concubine."

"The servant will tell Madam."

The eldest prince walked out of Huo's house with a bit of regret, and bumped into Huo Yidao at the main entrance. The two looked at each other, with a decent smile on the corners of their mouths at the same time.

"I didn't know that the eldest prince was here, but this humble official neglected me."

"Lord Huo is serious. I just haven't seen Yilong for a long time, so I just came to see him."

"That's unlucky, the fifth brother is in retreat, and probably won't come out in the short term."

"This Palace has already heard about it, so we can only get together after he leaves the customs." The eldest prince answered a few words, and was about to leave, when he heard the other party ask: "Is there something important for His Highness to find Fifth Brother?"

The eldest prince was about to shake his head, but suddenly his heart moved, and he looked at Huo Yidao again.

Huo Yidao is an anomaly of the Huo family. The entire Huo family is just that he joined Wen. Although his official career was flat, he did not rise to the top because of the Huo family. In the eyes of the eldest prince, this was a failure.

But now the Huo family he can contact is limited, the First Prince asked gently: "If Mr. Huo is free, how about having a cup of tea together?"

Huo Yidao seemed to hesitate for a while, then nodded, "Your Highness is welcome, of course."

The two left Huo's house together, found a relatively quiet teahouse, and sat down in the private room after the venue was cleared.

The First Prince had no plans to use Huo Yidao for the time being, so he just talked with him about the past and the present, and had some arty talk.

Both of them are knowledgeable, and they chatted harmoniously, but neither of them expressed their feelings.

By the time they parted, the two of them were already like classmates who had known each other for many years. If they hadn't been concerned about the status of the eldest prince, they would probably be called brothers.

The eldest prince was indeed a little surprised, he hadn't had much contact with Huo Yidao, he didn't expect that he was not as mediocre as he imagined, but rather knowledgeable, but his words showed a little unwillingness to be suppressed.

And Huo Yidao knew a lot about the First Prince, the reason why he accepted the invitation today was to see if the First Prince met his requirements.

The second prince is dead, and the third prince has a special relationship with Huo Qi. If he ascends to the throne, the Huo family must belong to Huo Qi.

He actually likes the newborn fourth prince, but unfortunately he is still too young, it's hard to say whether he can grow up safely, even if he grows up safely, it's hard to say whether he can ascend to the throne.

That's why he set his target on the First Prince. At least, the irreconcilable conflict between him and Teng Yu is beneficial to him.

"Speaking of which, my seventh younger brother is indeed a bit...Father can't do anything with him. He grew up outside, he's used to his will, and he has some real skills. The third prince's move is really good."

The eldest prince's eyebrows twitched, "Could it be that the Huo family doesn't plan to take care of it? Marshal Huo didn't seem to refuse the marriage granted by the imperial decree last time."

"But you didn't agree either, did you?" Huo Yidao sighed, "The person involved disagreed, so this matter can only be postponed. Fortunately, Prime Minister Zuo is not willing to marry the Huo family, so it will probably be let alone in the end."

"I heard that the third younger brother asked Father to give him a marriage next time. Fortunately, Father did not agree with him, otherwise it would be a big joke."

"Who says it's not? The Huo family's reputation has been accumulated through generations of hard work, and they really don't want to be ruined by unfilial children."

"Then you can persuade Marshal Huo that such an unfilial son appears in the family, and it is not good to indulge too much."

"That's exactly what I mean, but my father feels that he owes his seventh brother a lot, so he might not listen to me."

"Then Huo, as the elder brother, can also do it for me."

The two smiled at each other and reached a certain tacit understanding.

The First Prince's goal has been achieved, and he feels that today's trip is not in vain, "I'm here today, see you later when I have time."

Huo Yidao sent him to the door and watched him get into the carriage before returning to the teahouse.

The shopkeeper of the teahouse came over quietly and asked in a low voice, "Master, quite a few people approached here just now."

"It doesn't matter. The First Prince's whereabouts have always attracted much attention. I'm afraid that everyone who should know will know now. It's just a simple meeting, and nothing will happen."

"The things you told your subordinates to do last time have already begun."

Huo Yidao thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "There is no need to continue that matter. Now no one cares whether Huo Tian's identity is true or not. His personal strength is enough to shock everyone. Huo will punish him."

"But at least he can be separated from the Huo family. Otherwise, with his relationship with the third prince, if he competes for the position of Patriarch in the future, Young Master Qi will have a great chance of winning."

Huo Yidao gave him a sideways glance, and said flatly: "Do you think that with his current value, father will drive him out of the house?"

"Don't say that the evidence is suspicious, even if he is false, it can become true."

"This……"

"Instead of working hard on his identity, it's better to find a way to separate the relationship between him and the third prince. It would be great if the two could oppose each other."

"I'm afraid it will be difficult." Everyone in the capital knows how firm the third prince's affection for the seventh young master of the Huo family is.

"If it were me, it would not be so easy to spit out the fat in my mouth, but these are not our things to worry about. Isn't the eldest prince thinking of a way?"

"Do you really want to cooperate with the First Prince?"

"Mutual benefit and win-win matters are not about cooperation or non-cooperation. If we really cooperate, the first one who will not let me go is the one in the palace." Huo Yidao dare not do this kind of two-footed thing.

"Then how are you going to help him?"

"This is not what I want to help with." Huo Yidao smiled enigmatically, without explaining.

Teng Yu was silent for a long time after receiving the informant. If he didn't know what Huo Yidao was like, he might have thought it was just the eldest prince's behavior to win over the Huo family.

It's no wonder that he always thinks about conspiracy theories, but the probability of these two people getting together to just drink tea and chat is too low.

"Can't find out what they were talking about?" Yin Xu was holding a fruit plate and stuffing red bayberries into his mouth.

It is said that this thing was sent from the south in a hurry. It was put in ice cubes and quenched thirst. It is moderately sweet and sour.

Teng Yu shook his head, "That teahouse is owned by Huo Yidao, with how cautious the two of them are, even flies can't fly in."

He snatched a fruit from Yin Xu's mouth, and the juice flowed down the corners of their mouths, soaking their collars.

"Are you taking food from a tiger's mouth?" Yin Xu squinted at him.

Teng Yu licked the juice from the corner of his mouth with the tip of his tongue, "Don't dare, I'm clearly in love with each other."

"Can you concentrate a little more when you're talking about business?" He finally got lazy and used his brains, and was interrupted just like that.

"Don't think about it, what good things can happen if the two of them get together, and it must be aimed at us, just deal with it carefully."

When Yin Xu heard that it was aimed at them, he frowned, "It's really troublesome, it would be great if we could solve it with one knife!"
