Chapter 739 It has been like this since ancient times, is it right?
Song Yanxi couldn't help feeling a little confused when she heard what Mo Jinchuan said.
Didn't the meaning of his words just now mean that he wanted his grandfather to agree to use the Yan family's financial resources to support the Ninth Prince's ascension to the throne?
The Right Prime Minister was his maternal grandfather, and by then, he would have become the emperor's father-in-law.
Even if he could remember the good things and be grateful for his grandfather's help, who would care about his thanks?
There is no need to tell my grandfather about what happened today. You will get nothing out of it except making him angry.
To use a phrase my aunt often says, "Don't even think about it."
Even if the Right Prime Minister swallowed his pride and went to Yan's residence to apologize to my grandfather for what happened in the court, the old man would never accept it because of his temper.
There is no possibility of reconciliation, all that matters is being kicked out.
Thinking of this, Song Yanxi said frankly: "If the prince is really optimistic about the Ninth Prince, I will do my best to help.
As for my grandfather, it’s better not to involve him.”
As she spoke, her expression was somewhat subtle. "Grandfather's temper, if he were to clash with the Right Prime Minister, not only would he not be able to talk properly, he would probably resort to violence."
After all, the two have a long-standing grudge that cannot be explained in just a few words.
The old ministers with some seniority in the court all knew about the past affairs between them. Could it be that the prince had not heard anything?
Before Song Yanxi could ask, she heard Mo Jinchuan say, "Grandfather is a decent man. He despises the Right Prime Minister's style of playing both sides and disdains to associate with him.
What if he is willing to retire and return home for his ninth brother?"
"How is this possible?" Song Yanxi almost blurted out the question.
She frowned and said with difficulty, "Before entering the palace, Concubine Li was not liked by the Right Prime Minister and his wife. To them, she was just a useful pawn.
If it were the prince, would he give up the power and position he had worked so hard to obtain for half his life just for the child he fathered as a chess piece?
Even if it were Song Yanxi, she couldn't guarantee what choice she would make when faced with such a thing.
Not to mention, he is the kind of person like the Right Prime Minister who doesn't care about his own daughter's life or death in order to consolidate his position.
Even his own flesh and blood is like this, not to mention the Ninth Prince who is only slightly related to him by blood.
To him, it was just a more useful chess piece.
Mo Jinchuan said with a gloomy look in his eyes: "He will."
Because he had no choice.
Realizing something, Song Yanxi asked, "Has the prince already met Concubine Li?"
Mo Jinchuan nodded, his eyes softening, "Empress Li likes you very much, and asked me to tell you that my last impoliteness was just a temporary solution.
Imperial Concubine Yu is spoiled and vindictive. If she holds a grudge against you, she will inevitably take advantage of your time in the palace to trip you up."
Noticing the worry that flashed across Song Yanxi's eyes, he continued, "Ninth Brother's cold this time was not an accident, and the evidence has been sent to Empress Li.
She is a smart person and she would not be so foolish as to put this blame on you."
Song Yanxi sighed softly and said truthfully, "I'm not worried that Concubine Li will bear a grudge, but the Ninth Prince is still young. Even if Grandfather is willing to support him, it will be difficult to convince the public."
Even if such a small kid was forced onto the throne, it would only cause turmoil in the court and panic among the people.
She thought that this was definitely not what the prince wanted to see.
Mo Jinchuan nodded, his face showing more embarrassment, "This is indeed a problem."
As he spoke, he changed the subject and said, "My aunt is quite knowledgeable about government affairs. Why not ask her to step down and take charge of government affairs from behind the scenes?"
When Song Yanxi heard this, she thought she was hallucinating.
She raised her hand and pinched her thigh hard. When she felt the pain, she realized that this was not a dream.
Is the prince crazy?
Now they have not yet found out whether the person who ordered Uncle Xu to travel thousands of miles to kill Tian Shu was Princess Huayang.
If it really was her, and she was allowed to rule the country from behind the scenes, wouldn't that mean their lives would be put in her hands?
Song Yanxi was about to say something when she saw Mo Jinchuan shaking his head at her and signaling her to look outside.
There was a faint black shadow at the edge of the window, and the shape was clearly a person.
Someone was eavesdropping!
Thinking about what Mo Jinchuan had just said, Song Yanxi calmed down and said calmly, "I think what the prince said is inappropriate."
"Oh?" Mo Jinchuan smiled, but his voice sounded cold. "Xi'er, what do you think?"
Song Yanxi listened and felt like strangling him.
Princess Huayang didn't like her in the first place, and this time she was probably going to pull her over and skin her alive.
Forget it, let her be angry, after all, she doesn't care about her liking.
After glaring at Mo Jinchuan who was deliberately playing tricks, Song Yanxi said righteously, "Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for women entering the imperial court. Even Princess Huayang is no exception."
*
"It has been like this since ancient times, right?"
Princess Huayang couldn't help but sneer, staring at her reflection in the bronze mirror with a serious look, her eyes suddenly becoming fierce.
"They won't let me do anything, but I'll do it anyway!"
Whether it was the title Huayang or the life of the slave girl who killed her son.
Also, the poisoned wine she gave to her two good nephews.
Which of these things did they give up?
They are just a bunch of idiots who don't even know how to live their own lives, yet they dare to dictate her life. It's ridiculous.
Qingque, who was standing aside, said, "Your Highness, calm down. Although Princess Yong'an has excellent medical skills, she is not a very smart person.
If you really don’t like it, this servant…”
Princess Huayang interrupted her in a deep voice and said coldly, "Keep it. It's rare for Jinchuan to have a girl he likes. As her aunt, I can't be too cruel."
Thinking of something, she raised a faint smile at the corner of her lips and sighed: "This child is the same as always. After more than ten years, his temperament has not changed at all."
Qingque sighed, "It's rare that His Royal Highness Prince Jin has such a pure heart and hasn't been blinded by supreme power.
From childhood to adulthood, he is indeed the child that His Highness has least to worry about."
"Yes." Princess Huayang couldn't help but show pity as she recalled the past. "This child is also stubborn. Twelve years ago, I wanted to give him the position of Crown Prince, but he refused to accept it."
Qingque smiled and said, "The prince values feelings and is unwilling to kill his brothers for that position."
Hearing this, Princess Huayang couldn't help but smile, and said sarcastically: "What do you mean by loyalty? It's just stupid.
If he had listened to me, he wouldn't have nearly died and been crippled for two years."
When mentioning this, Princess Huayang's eyes became colder.
Her gaze slowly moved down along the reflection in the bronze mirror, landing on the half heart-shaped pendant on the table.
Seeing this, Qingque hurriedly said, "If Your Highness finds it annoying, I will take it down and throw it away."
"No."
Princess Huayang lowered her eyes, and when she raised them again, the disgust in them was gone. She calmly instructed, "Send him a letter saying that I will be going to the Fahua Temple to pay homage on the first day of next month."
