Chapter 259 Intentional

Seeing that the emperor had no intention of asking further questions, Empress Li was secretly relieved.

Seeing that this matter was about to be fooled by Empress Li, Concubine Jiang rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Oh, speaking of which, the Fifth Highness and the two young ladies from Shangshu Mansion are also cousins. This relationship Of course it’s good!”

Well, the relationship was so good that everyone in the same palace was still sitting at the banquet, but the fifth prince and the two ladies from the Shangshu Mansion went out for a private meeting.

Of course, Concubine Jiang would not say this at such a banquet, but she expressed this meaning very well.

Concubine Wu couldn't help but added: "The relationship between His Highness the Fifth Highness and the two Miss Lis seems to be very good. I have heard before that His Highness the Fifth Highness often meets the two Miss Lis...".

If the young lady from Li Shangshu's mansion were to marry the fifth prince and become his concubine, Concubine Wu would still be happy to see it happen.

Anyway, whether there is a lady in Shangshu Mansion marrying the fifth prince, this Shangshu Mansion can only be a staunch fifth prince faction. In this case, it is better to let the lady from Shangshu Mansion occupy the position of fifth prince concubine.

The fifth prince of Ye Province finally married a young lady from another family, adding another layer of help.

Concubine Jiang did not expect that Concubine Wu would follow her words, so she couldn't help but glance at Concubine Wu.

But after thinking about it for a moment, Concubine Jiang knew why Concubine Wu De said that, and she couldn't help but laugh.

Concubine Jiang couldn't help but feel curious. In her opinion, Empress Li seemed to be a smart person based on her usual behavior, but why did she feel a little stupid when it came to the fifth prince?

Is it more important to win over the natal family than to find a more reliable and supportive in-law family for the fifth prince and increase the bargaining chip in the fifth prince's hand?
Concubine Jiang felt that Queen Li should not be ignorant of this kind of problem that she could understand.

But seeing Queen Li's actions, Concubine Jiang felt that she was a little confused.

But this is not important. Empress Li is willing to do this, and Concubine Jiang is also eager to do so.

Although Concubine Jiang was not able to give birth to a prince herself, she felt that she was still young. Maybe she would be able to have one in the future?In this case, doesn't she have to plan in advance?

So, Concubine Jiang started talking with a smile: "I didn't expect Sister De Fei to have heard of these things? Concubine Chen has heard of it too. Speaking of which, the fifth prince is not young anymore, and he should be old enough to marry a concubine." Yes, Your Majesty, do you think so?"

The emperor glanced sideways at Concubine Jiang and nodded: "Well, Concubine Jiang is right, the fifth child has reached the age to marry a concubine!".

The purpose of today's banquet is mainly to choose a concubine for the fifth prince. Since Concubine Jiang has brought it up, the emperor will naturally not refute it.

Concubine Jiang smiled when she heard this and said: "Isn't that right? I have noticed that these five princes are very good to the two ladies of Shangshu Mansion. It is said that this young lady of Shangshu Mansion is being educated by the Empress on a daily basis. I want to come here Can she also be the fifth prince's concubine?"

Although many people sitting here knew the plans of Empress Li and Shangshufu, no one had ever made this matter clear.

Now, Concubine Jiang exposed it directly, and everyone was silent for a moment.

Even the emperor couldn't help but fall silent.

After a while, Queen Li spoke up and said: "My sister, the imperial concubine, praised her, but she is still a little girl, and she still has a lot to learn!".

Concubine Jiang laughed and unceremoniously said: "You are still a little girl there, so the eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion is not young now, right? If it had been normal, at her age, she would have already been married. Woolen cloth!".

Empress Li felt depressed because of Concubine Jiang, but she could not refute, because Miss Li's age was indeed earlier than the marriage age of ordinary boudoir ladies.The two masters at the top started arguing, and the people below didn't dare to answer the conversation at will.

The eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion, Miss Li's mother, wanted to say something, but for a while, she didn't have a chance to speak, so she could only worry secretly.

Thinking about the recent incidents between her daughter and her second wife's daughter, the eldest lady became even more anxious, fearing that her daughter would cause some trouble in the palace.

If it really gets ugly, then it won't just be a question of whether Miss Li can marry the fifth prince as his concubine.

He might even be punished, or even be implicated in the Shangshu Mansion.

It was at this time that the fifth prince returned, and naturally Miss Li and Miss Li San followed him.

Although they didn't make much noise when they came back, after all, Concubine Jiang and others were talking about the fifth prince, Miss Li and Li Sanxiao just now.

Now that these three people are back together, even if there is not much movement, they are still eye-catching.

As soon as the fifth prince came in, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the palace, but at this time he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he could only return to his seat and sit down as if nothing had happened.

The eldest prince wanted to say a few words to the fifth prince, but in the end he didn't know what he thought of. He just opened his mouth and said nothing.

Concubine Jiang no longer cared about anything. She looked at the fifth prince and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, went shopping with the two ladies from Shangshu Mansion? Your Majesty, Your Majesty, is very considerate."

The fifth prince didn't want to answer Concubine Jiang's question, but she was a concubine after all. Apart from Empress Dowager Wei and Empress Li, he still wanted to give her some face, so he nodded to Concubine Jiang. ".

Concubine Jiang smiled and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty the Fifth Prince and the two cousins ​​from Shangshu Mansion have a really good relationship!".

After saying this, Concubine Jiang stopped talking about this and turned to talk about other things with Concubine Wang Xian and others.

Concubine Jiang also knows this principle of "too much is not enough", so if you have something to say, just say it, there may be counter-effects.

Thinking about this, Concubine Jiang secretly glanced at the emperor, and sure enough, she saw that although the emperor's expression was as usual, his expression was much more condensed than usual. It was obvious that the emperor had kept the affairs of Shangshu Mansion in mind.

Concubine Jiang felt that this was enough.

After that, the banquet went on as usual. The emperor didn't reveal anything, and he didn't even mention the idea of ​​marrying a concubine to the fifth prince.

Seeing the emperor like this, Empress Li was very upset.

But because her niece had caused a scene in the palace before, Empress Li did not dare to ask the emperor on the spot what he meant by marrying the fifth prince a concubine.

In the end, the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet ended peacefully, but the gossip in the palace about the fifth prince, Miss Li and Miss Li San did not dissipate with the banquet.

It was after the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet that Jinse heard Cha Qing talk about the affairs between the fifth prince and the two ladies from the Shangshu Mansion.

Listening to Cha Qing talking about this, Jin Se was speechless: "Is this Miss Li so bold in the palace?".
