Chapter 173 Determination to Win Favor

Wearing black to compete for favor?

Chu Qinghuang was silent. She found that Hong Yu had a strong determination to win favor and was also very resilient.

Among the young men in the backyard, he was the only one who jumped up and down happily. I don’t know if it’s because I’m too bored being trapped here, but I always have to find something to do.

However, it was not until dinner time that Chu Qinghuang discovered that the person wearing black tonight was not only Hongyu, but Chu Lingchuan, Wen Zhan, Qi Ling and Shen Chongjin had also put on black robes, making each of them look stunning. The figure is tall and thin, with extraordinary bearing.

It was rare that they had made several black clothes in such a short period of time, and they were willing to go all out to compete for favor.

The handsome young men at the table are no longer flamboyant peacocks. The calm and restrained tones instantly enhance the calm demeanor of the young men.

As a result, the atmosphere became more subtle.

Fucang remained silent the whole time, while the other young masters kept chattering, but fortunately they were all talking about business.

"The Ling family has no chance to turn over. Although Concubine Duan and her son were not demoted like Concubine Feng, losing the emperor's heart means losing the qualification to compete for the throne." Zhong Jin said in a steady voice, "Next In addition to holding the military power for a period of time, does your Highness have any other plans? "

Chu Qinghuang lowered his head to eat and did not speak.

Hong Yu held his chin: "The Qiu Queen's interrogation took too long and there were too many variables. I think Ling Ancheng should be shut up earlier."

This sentence is obviously not said casually.

Chu Lingchuan looked at him: "Ling Ancheng has a lot of secrets?"

"Ah?" Hong Yu blinked, "I don't know."

Chu Lingchuan: "..."

"This task has been handed over to Fucang." Chu Qinghuang said calmly, "He won't survive until midnight tonight."

Hong Yu curled his lips, glanced at Fucang calmly, and then his eyes lit up: "So His Highness also thinks that he shouldn't be alive? Then His Highness and I are on the same page, right? We all thought of the same thing."

Chu Qinghuang was speechless: "..."

"The third prince has lost his power, and the fifth prince has also lost his favor. Next, it is time for the queen and her son to appear." Chu Lingchuan's voice was gentle, "The queen seems to be a smart woman. She has not made any moves for such a long time, which shows that she has good patience."

"She is the royal palace, and Chu Tiankuo is the noble legitimate son. After the Ling family's affairs, a minister will soon propose to the court to establish a crown prince, and make the second prince a legitimate crown prince." Qi Ling said in a calm tone, "Third prince He and the fifth prince have been seriously injured. This is his opportunity. To use a suitable word, it is called 'the expected return'. It would be really stupid for him to miss it. "

In the past, Concubine Duan was favored, and the concubine was protected by the Queen Mother. Even if the queen was the main palace, she would not have much advantage. However, now that Concubine Duan has been demoted to Zhaoyi, Concubine Duan has fallen out of favor, and the queen has lost two powerful rivals in an instant, and she is extremely happy. .

The ministers in the court who support the queen and her son are full of momentum and will never let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The ministers who support the third and fifth princes will never dare to speak out against it at this time. Therefore, the emperor will seriously consider appointing Chu Tiankuo as the crown prince. .

This is the quarrel between the snipe and the clam, and the fisherman wins.

Chu Qinghuang hummed: "What do you think?"

"Of course we can't let Chu Tiankuo be the crown prince." Hong Yu pouted, "Otherwise, wouldn't everything His Highness did just let him take advantage?"

Zhong Zhongjin coughed lightly: "I think Hong Yu can come forward in this matter."

Hong Yu was stunned: "Me?"

"Chu Tiankuo is the most suitable candidate at the moment. If the emperor is enthusiastic, he might actually establish a crown prince in line with the public opinion." Zhong Jin said, "Hong Yu has been thinking about competing for favor recently, right? I guess you are the one here, Your Highness. There is no chance, why not go to the queen to fight? "

Hong Yu was shocked and couldn't believe what she heard: "You mean... you want me to be the queen's face?"

Zhong Jin took a calm sip of the soup and said, "It's just a beauty trap."

"You want me to die, right?" Hong Yu looked at him in disbelief, "You are so vicious, you are so vicious! Zhong Jin, how can you be so vicious? You just want me to die, that's why you are so calculating. I!"

The words "Vicious" were spoken three times in a row. I don't know whether it was due to a lack of vocabulary or a temporary lack of words due to extreme anger. Everyone could only hear the word "Vicious" one after another. The tone was so strong that people felt that he had suffered. A great grievance.

Zhong Jin looked at him silently.

"At the queen's age, I..." Hong Yu took a bite of the chicken leg bitterly, "I can't eat it."

Everyone at the table: "..."

Chu Qinghuang turned to Qi Ling: "Is everything going well in the military camp?"

"It went well." Qi Ling nodded, "Those clan members are also very obedient."

Chu Qinghuang hummed and said casually: "After dinner, you all will go with Qi Ling to inspect the military camp. There is no need to come back tonight."

After the words fell, several people present fell silent in unison.
