Fanghua hummed, "You're smart. I tell you, I did all this for my Sixth Brother's sake. If I see anything wrong with you, I won't tolerate it. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Meng Qi looked at Fanghua's pink face, her small but bright eyes. Everyone said Yongan was more handsome, but she felt Fanghua exuded a more noble demeanor, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked her.
"Princess, you have such a straightforward personality. I've come up with so many ways to persuade you to cooperate with me, but I haven't said them yet."
"Cooperation? What do you mean?"
"It's a mutually beneficial relationship between us. I'm not just asking for your help."
"Mutual benefit? What do you mean?" Fanghua was puzzled.
"For example, your marriage. For example, your life in a few years."
Fanghua just stared at Meng Qi. She knew what Meng Qi meant. Two years ago, the Empress had been looking for a consort for her and Yong'an. Since no one satisfied the Empress, she put the blame on her. She said she was older than Yong'an, so she should be chosen first. But she didn't like any of the ones the Empress had chosen, which delayed Yong'an's career.
It's not that she doesn't want to get married, but she doesn't dare. She doesn't dare to easily agree to the Queen's requests. Even if the Emperor is screening her, how can she, a princess in the deep palace, know so much about the inner houses of those people?
Therefore, Meng Qi's first point was indeed very attractive to her. She really needed someone who could sincerely find out what was happening outside for her. However, this person never showed up, or rather, there was no one she could trust.
As for Meng Qi's second point, Fanghua understood it after a moment's reflection. The Emperor's health was deteriorating, fluctuating between good and bad, a cause for concern. He could still make his own decision to have her accompany him, but if he ever fell unconscious or was murdered... who would care about her? Especially since, over the years, thanks to the Empress's "good intentions," she hadn't been close to any of her brothers. In the future, if anyone other than her sixth brother took the throne, her life would be difficult, but her sixth brother's hopes were slim.
These are what Fanghua thinks about the most. She can only help Song Chengze with small things now, and has never helped him with sensitive matters. She dare not act rashly, especially since she has spent more than ten years of hard work on it.
She knew what Song Chengze meant. Sixth Brother was by the side of the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince took the throne, Sixth Brother's good days would come. If Sixth Brother was well, he would naturally protect her. Fanghua smiled bitterly inwardly, but these were all Sixth Brother's own thoughts. She had never told him about the things between her and the Crown Prince.
Because only she knew that once the prince sat on that position, he would not let her have an easy time. The prince was very determined about the incident when she was a child, that is, he spit out his own medicine into the medicine of the late Queen Jiang. After drinking that medicine, Jiang's health declined very quickly and she passed away within half a year.
She was too young at that time and didn't know who took advantage of her. But it doesn't matter now. What matters is that the prince is a man of such a vicious character. He has put the blame on her and will not change his ways easily.
Meng Qi looked at Fanghua's changing expression, not knowing what she was thinking. She didn't say anything, but waited quietly. Some things and some decisions sometimes take an instant, but sometimes take a long time to think about.
Fanghua shook her head and decided not to think about things that happened so far in the past. Her father was in poor health and everyone was starting to get restless, just like the Empress's "illness" this time. She didn't believe it was caused by an accident. It must be a trap set by Prince Cheng and his son. As for who they wanted to lure into the game or whether it was to cover up something, it was beyond her ability.
That’s right, let’s solve the first one first. Just for this one, it’s worth it for her to join forces with Meng Qi now.
"Deal. I have no other requirements. The inner house must be clean, I must be excellent, and my in-laws must be easy to get along with. They don't need to be rich, but they must be warm and harmonious. Isn't that too much?"
Meng Qi didn't expect Fang Hua to say this. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course, as long as you trust me, I will definitely find it for you according to your sixth brother's standards. How about it?"
Fang Hua nodded proudly, "He must be handsome. Even if he is not as handsome as my sixth brother, he must be more handsome than Zhou Yu."
Meng Qi laughed. Fang Hua still felt a little upset towards Zhou Yu.
