After remarrying with my mother, I walked across the capital by hugging my thigh

The third prince had a bitter face, like a frosted eggplant.

He picked up a book, and just read two pages, the words in front of his eyes seemed to be fine, and they started to swim on the pages of the book.

This matter quickly spread like wildfire.

In Lin Youyi's heart, this was just a joke of Mu Zheng's temper.

Naturally, as the Prince of Rui, Mu Zheng must keep his word!

Even if it's just a joke, it must be followed!
But, in the final analysis, Mu Zheng had no intention at all, and he did nothing but "fire at the gate of the city and bring disaster to the fish in the pond" that's all.

Then, Lin Youyi never expected that such a simple and interesting thing would change its taste after being passed on.

The news about Mu Zheng's high hopes for the third prince and his intention to cultivate him to become the next prince shocked the government and the public instantly.

This matter, at any time, is considered a good thing.

After all, Mu Zheng's intentions are the emperor's intentions, if the emperor intends to do so, the future of the third prince is boundless, and there is a long way to go!

However, now that the crown prince hanged himself to death, the imperial edict on abolishing the crown prince has not yet been promulgated.

Mu Zheng showing favor to the third prince at this time is tantamount to pushing him to the forefront!
It is not an exaggeration to say secretly that the third prince is about to become another victim of the power struggle!
What's more, the second prince was the first to sue the prince for meritorious service, and he didn't even get special care from Prince Rui.

Then, how could the third prince who did nothing in the whole matter get such a blessing?
Not only that!

Concubine Xiao was even more sweaty after hearing about this incident.

She didn't know if Prince Rui's arrangement was because she did not follow the Queen Mother's advice and insisted on going her own way, which implicated the third prince?
Perhaps Mu Zheng wanted to use this as a reminder to her to keep herself safe!
Even if it's not for herself, she still has to think about it for her son!
The court situation is treacherous and changing rapidly, not everyone has the ability to get involved in it!

Concubine Xiao was already a little restless, and besides, the third prince hadn't returned to the mansion for three days in a row, not even a word!
A living person, after entering the palace, was completely locked up, and there was no news at all!
A person like Xiao Muxue, who was slow to perceive, felt that something was wrong, and after entering the palace anxiously, she could only walk around in the Lingxi Palace.

Concubine Xiao asked her to sit down and calm down for a while, don't be so flustered.

However, how could Xiao Muxue sit still!
"Mother, concubine, otherwise... let's ask the fourth sister? Isn't there news that Prince Rui summoned the third prince into the palace after he left Changning Palace the night before? Perhaps, What will Fourth Sister know?"

"Still looking for her? Have you forgotten where she is? You are so easy to climb into the palace gate of the empress dowager? You can't go!"

"Then what should we do now? It's been three days! This person is not allowed to see, and there is no news! I went to bed last night, and I kept having nightmares!"

"You are a princess now, so you should look like a princess! This little thing makes you restless, what else can you count on in the future?!"

Xiao Muxue stopped talking, just lowered her head in a muffled voice.

Concubine Xiao thought for a while, and although she couldn't ask Lin Youyi, she could ask Marquis Chengyang what she meant.

After all, Marquis Chengyang knew better about the affairs in the court.

Xiao Muxue got the order and hurried out of the palace to the Hou Mansion.

Marquis Chengyang was used to killing on the battlefield, so he didn't think it was a big deal for such a small matter.

Even if the rumors are true, it will come sooner or later.

Rather than being protected too well and cramming temporarily, it's better for the third prince to get used to it from now on.

Lin Youyi's news was blocked. When she heard the rumors, it was already after the third prince was punished.

"What? Is it really a fine? Can it be severe?"

"Heavy! It's ten sticks, and the third prince couldn't even get off the bed! This is not over yet. Prince Rui wants the third prince to continue studying those strategies. This time, the prince didn't specify a time, but he said that he would conduct spot checks from time to time! Answer If you don’t come up, you will be fined!”

Lin Youyi hid the Buddhist scriptures on her face without laughing.

【Hey, who would have imagined that Mu Zheng, who is like a Shura ghost, has such a childish side! 】

However, what Xing'er said next made Lin Youyi unable to laugh.

"Miss, tell me, does the lord really want to support the third prince as the crown prince? Isn't the second lady the crown princess from that day on?"

"Little girl, what are you talking about! You really think this is your home, you can talk nonsense about anything!"

"Miss, I didn't say that, all the servants in the palace said so!"

"What else did they say?"

"They also said...that the prince supports the third prince at this time because he intends to suppress the second prince. Moreover, the prince is dead, and with the support of the prince, the third prince will be able to sit on the throne sooner or later! And..."

Xing'er bit her lip and thought for a while, then continued.

"They also said that the ancestors of the Chengyang Hou's Mansion must have burnt high incense, and that the crown princes and concubines came out of the Hou's Mansion one after another! If the third prince can really ascend the throne in the future, then the Hou's mansion will come out of the palace!" It's not just the princess!"

Lin Youyi frowned.

Although this is not pleasant to say, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it!

However, it was beyond Lin Youyi's expectation that things had evolved to this point.

She really had no intention of joking, but Lin Youyi was not sure whether Mu Zheng meant it.

Perhaps, Mu Zheng really has such thoughts, it's hard to say!

Lin Youyi knows the virtues of the second prince!

Mu Zheng had just eradicated a prince who was full of crimes and countless books, so how could he watch helplessly that the second prince with a beastly face and a maddened heart came to power?
If he is not the second prince, he can only be the third prince!

Then, it is not surprising that Mu Zheng intends to support the third prince, no matter what means he uses to make him stand out!

This is government affairs, Lin Youyi doesn't understand and doesn't want to interfere.

She believed that Mu Zheng, whether it was intentional or unintentional, could handle it properly.

After putting this matter aside, Lin Youyi focused on how to please the Queen Mother.

She found out that the queen mother had the habit of drinking calming tea every night, so she moved her mind.

Before dawn the next day, Lin Youyi took Xing'er to collect rootless water in the imperial garden with a lantern.

After collection, come back and filter again and again.

Finally, use this pure rootless water to make tea for the Queen Mother.

After the first sip, the queen mother noticed the change in taste.

After careful questioning, I realized that it was Lin Youyi's thoughts.

However, at the moment, the Queen Mother didn't say much.

Lin Youyi went round and round like this, getting up at five o'clock every day, bowing her waist, taking advantage of the night, to stay in the imperial garden for an hour.

And not a single day of neglect.
