Chapter 1473 Your Highness, There Is Always Someone Who Wants to Harm You 26

But it will inevitably give people the feeling of being inflexible.

So much so that it seems that the entire court has both praise and criticism for each of the princesses. When it comes to the princess, there is only one sentence: she has no backing, is weak and timid, and will be dragged down from this position sooner or later.

But if you think about it the other way around, what if this is the image Chu Ci wants them to see?

Then Chu Ci hid it a little too deeply, right?

Hearing what Xiao Qi said, Prime Minister Xiao's heart tightened.

The joking mood in her eyes faded a lot, the corners of her lips pursed slightly, and her face that was already quite charming with age was a bit serious.

There is no casual elegance that is customary in the court.

"Xiao Qi, are you saying that the Crown Princess is not what we saw and imagined?"

Xiao Qi nodded.

The fight for the title after that will be interesting to see.

With some thought in Prime Minister Xiao's eyes, he suddenly asked again, "Now that the Empress is getting older and older, and her health is getting worse day by day, if we, the Prime Minister's Mansion, want to take sides now, Xiao Qi, which side do you think we should take? ?”

In the past, she might have been more partial to the Third Princess.

Although Prince Gong was favored by the Empress alone and had outstanding talents and learning, he had been praised above others since he was a child. He inevitably contracted the problem of arrogance and arrogance. He had no basic respect for anyone and had poor moral character.

If you don't have good moral character as a king, how can you take on a big responsibility?

In contrast, although the Third Princess is not as powerful as Prince Gong, her background is not weak, and she is talented and knowledgeable. What is even more rare is that the Third Princess has good conduct and has a good reputation among the people.

Xiao Qi picked up the cup again and looked at the tea leaves floating in the cup.

The corners of her lips pursed slightly, and then she spoke, "Did mother say that it's already reached this point?"

Prime Minister Xiao was noncommittal.

"Mother wanted to stand with the Third Princess before, right?"

Prime Minister Xiao nodded.

"But the three emperors' daughters value the Jing family. Jing Mu wants to enter the third emperor's daughter's room as the official husband after the new year. He has talked to his mother several times before, but she was always declined. If they go again now, they are afraid that they are not going to do it. Not pleasant."

Xiao Qi laughed lazily and took a sip of tea.

Prime Minister Xiao nodded.

It was this reason that made her hesitate.

Although the Jing family and the Xiao family have a pretty good relationship, and Xiao Qi and Jing Mu have grown up together, but because of this good relationship, she knows the current members of the Jing family quite well.

If there is no benefit, the Jing family will silently regard the Xiao family as their opponent, even if the third princess welcomes him.

The Jing family has always been fond of playing dirty tricks, and they always have to be cautious when dealing with the Jing family. Not to mention that the Jing family has repeatedly asked Jing Mu to trick their son.

What if you really stand up for the Third Princess? I'm afraid it will end badly by then.

"Then you want to side with the Crown Princess? But the Crown Princess Party also includes Hu Xun from the Hu family."

Prime Minister Xiao raised his eyebrows, wanting to hear what Xiao Qi planned to say on this point.

"What does mother think of Hu Xun?"

Probably because he felt that just drinking tea was a bit monotonous, Xiao Qi asked and waved to the servants at the door, gesturing for them to bring some snacks.

The servants responded and soon brought out several plates of snacks.

"She is dedicated to her duties but stubborn and ineffective. She always seems to be a bit confused and doesn't know how to adapt. It makes people wonder if there is something wrong with her brain."
