Ministers made me a male queen

In the next few days, apart from preparing for Empress Qi's birthday gift, Jiao Yun stayed in Zhenbao Pavilion during the day and followed his previous plan, choosing dignitaries and dignitaries whom he had made friends with.

He divided these people into three groups.

One group returned to the Ning family, that is, the second prince supported the faction; the other group supported the other three princes; the third group did not support any of them.

These can be glimpsed after studying that book.

These people who came to make friends didn't really think that Jiao Yun could do anything, they had only one reason for Jiao Yun's enthusiasm: Old Rock King.

To be precise, it is the military power in the hands of the old rock king.

Jiao Yun treated these people equally on the surface, and when he returned to his room at night, he began to study with Nie Baichang privately to win over the list of the third group that none of the princes currently stand in.

Because the fifth prince was speechless, there was almost zero support for the prince Nie Baichang.

The reason for saying almost is because although there is no contact, the Bai family was a loyal family back then. In private, they actually favored the first, second and fifth princes in their hearts.

If the old emperor only had such a bloodline, it would be fine, there are four princes on top.

Especially the second prince is the best among them.

Jiao Yun is not in a hurry, there is plenty of time left and right, and when he finds a way to restore Nie Xiaobai in the future, he will be able to start, and for now, stay put.

With the list in hand, there is no rush when to win over.

The second day of July will arrive soon, and Jiao Yun has just been conferred the title of Prince Yu, and he is also the adoptive son of the old rock king, so he is naturally also invited.

On the other hand, even if Nie Baichang was unwilling to separate from Jiao Yun, he could only return to the residence one day in advance to prepare for entering the palace tomorrow.

Chang San and the others looked at the master who was finally willing to return home instead of continuing to pretend to be sick, and they were moved!

Nie Baichang came back, but his face was so dark that he couldn't stop it.

It was just cold before, but now it is cold.

This made Chang San and the others cautious and tried to reduce their sense of existence: they always felt that they were a bit like the queen mother who was ruthless at the moment.

Chang San coughed lowly, and persuaded: "Master, Yu Shizi will also enter the palace tomorrow, and he will be able to see you then."

As soon as he said this, Chang Si glared at him: Isn't this the pot that doesn't open and which pot to lift?

Although I saw it, but my grandfather didn't like the Ning family, naturally including the old Yan Wang who was related to the Ning family.

As the adopted son of the old rock king, Yu Shizi is also in it.

This meeting has to pretend not to know each other or even to be hostile, no matter how you look at it...is it even worse?

Sure enough, Nie Baichang's complexion was even worse.

Chang San wished he could slap himself twice: just keep silent, what are you talking about?You are the only one who has a long mouth, right?Yes or no!

Jiao Yun slept very well here. To him, the reason why he came to the capital was to avenge Nie Xiaobai.

But Nie Xiaobai was alive, which made him completely relieved.

In the early morning of the next day, he went to the old rock king's mansion with the birthday gift, and accompanied the old rock king into the palace in a carriage with a smile on his face.

In the carriage, the old King Yan saw him smiling and was in a great mood, "Looks like you are doing well in Beijing recently?" He had known this child for more than half a year, and it was the first time he saw him smiling so carelessly.

When I looked at Yuliang before, I always felt that he was smiling, but there was always a hint of sadness and longing in his brows.

He had heard him mention his life experience, and guessed that he probably missed his deceased relatives.

It seems that it is right to take him back to Beijing, so don't you just look away?

There was a smile in Jiao Yun's eyes, "The business of Zhenbao Pavilion is very hot. The boy has made a lot of money."

The old Yan Wang smiled but didn't believe it, he only thought that he was comforting himself, this kid didn't care much about money at all, otherwise, he wouldn't have saved tens of thousands of soldiers with a single shot.

He didn't ask too much, his eyes were full of kindness: "Don't wrong yourself, if you are bullied, tell your adoptive father."

Jiao Yun really admired the old rock king, "The child has a adoptive father as the backer, so he is not afraid of anything, and no one dares to bully the child."

Old Yan Wangxu nodded at him, but said: "Okay, foster father will be your backer."

He only had one daughter in his life, but he rarely got together and left more. He also liked the feeling that his children and grandchildren were surrounded by his knees. Although he cherished Ran'er, that child didn't meet him very often, and after getting married, he had a lot of births.

It's just that it's his own child after all, his eyes softened, "Get along with your righteous sister more, she has a gentle temper, I won't be here in the future, you two siblings..." He thought of Ran'er's husband, and thought about the second prince's love for her. Ran'er cared about it all these years, thinking about it, she felt that she was too worried, so she didn't continue talking.

Jiao Yun changed the topic and talked about some interesting things in the shop recently, which made the old Yan Wang's brows and eyes widen.

But the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and the silver hair all over his head tell that he is not young anymore.

Jiao Yun understands what the old King Yan thinks, but unfortunately, the old King Yan misjudged the person, and the second prince is also good at disguising, and it is not revealed until later in the book, so that the last one of the Yan family is not alive, it can be said to be cruel He was also decisive enough to spare even his own flesh and blood, for fear of leaving hidden dangers in the future, fearing that the two children would avenge their mother, concubine, and grandfather if they knew the truth when they grew up.

However, this kind of ending exists on the premise that the second prince can succeed, as long as he cannot succeed.

But despite this, if the second prince's incident happened in the end, it would probably implicate the second prince and concubine.

So he had to discuss with Nie Xiaobai how to let the second prince and concubine see the true face of the second prince as soon as possible.

The second prince's concubine is pure, kind and gentle. The reason why she is devoted to the second prince and thinks that the second prince is a good man is based on the image of the second prince to the outside world.

As the most outstanding prince among several princes, the second prince is unspeakably expensive both in appearance and status. In addition, his biological mother is now a noble concubine and the most favored one in the harem. The prince is even better.

In addition, she has a gentle, elegant and infatuated temperament.

Yes, it is infatuation. The second prince is a pious guy, and his image outside is that he is clean and self-sufficient. There is only the second prince and concubine in the mansion, and he doesn't even have a roommate. On the surface, he is devoted to the second prince.

Think about it, a person who is only good to himself, usually gentle and good-looking, and a good-looking prince who is also considerate to the people, has made Yan Ran'er the envy of the noble girls in the capital's boudoir all these years after his marriage.

But these are only superficial.

Jiao Yun thought of what was mentioned in the book about the murder of the second concubine and her two children, which were gradually revealed, and felt that the word the second prince called a beast was also an insult to the word beast.

……

After Jiao Yun and the old Yan Wang arrived at the palace, he followed the old Yan Wang out of the carriage without looking around, and just followed to Yong'an Palace.

The banquet will take some time, after Jiao Yun sat down with the old rock king, all the officials and acquaintances came to greet the old rock king.

Every time the old rock king waited for someone to come over, he would introduce Jiao Yun.

Jiao Yun responded with a smile, which seemed familiar.

Although Zhenbao Pavilion also knew a lot of people, but some nobles would not come out on their own, either the female family members from the mansion came or the housekeepers, and it was the first time to see the rightful owner.

When the banquet was about to begin, the second prince and the second concubine also came over, along with their two children.

The old King Yan's expression softened, and he was even more relieved to see the second prince.

The thing he was most worried about was Ran'er, now seeing that she was doing well, he felt relieved.

Jiao Yun and the second prince only nodded. The second prince remembered the fact that the other party left early at the fifth place. Although he didn't show it on his face, he was quite indifferent.

Jiao Yun doesn't care either, the second prince doesn't dare to offend him now, whoever makes him his father-in-law's most promising "adopted son" is not one of them.

The second prince and the old rock king took Yan Ran'er to his place after some caring.

Opposite the Old Rock King.

At the last moment before the old emperor and empress were about to arrive, Nie Bochang came belatedly with Chang San.

He wore a mask on his face, and his expression was arrogant and indifferent. After he sat down, he ignored everyone.

This is already the norm, and the other party's willingness to enter the palace is considered good. After all, the other party has been recovering from illness in the mansion since he recognized him. It is said that it was because the white concubine injured her body when she left the palace that made the fifth prince weak when he was born.

The emperor didn't say anything, and they didn't dare to mention it.

Over the years, the emperor said that Concubine Bai died of a serious illness, but this was only known to outsiders, and those who knew the inside story knew that Concubine Bai had set herself on fire.

They thought they were burned to death at that time, but they didn't expect...

It's just that they didn't dare to pry into the things inside. Longxin has always been the most difficult to pry into. If one is not good, they may fold themselves into it.

Jiao Yun couldn't help but stare at Nie Baichang from the moment he appeared.

These days, although they are tired of being together, Nie Baichang only wears ordinary clothes.

I'm going into the palace today, so I changed into a prince's suit.

It makes the whole person even more precious, and people can't take their eyes off it.

It wasn't just him, this time because it was the Queen's birthday, all the officials and women who had been invited also came. Naturally, those who were waiting in the boudoir were indispensable, and they couldn't help but sneak glances at the Fifth Prince.

I heard that the fifth prince looks extremely handsome, but unfortunately... he is dumb.

If you can't speak, you will miss the throne.

In addition, there is no help from a foreign family, so it is not a good marriage partner.

But these are relative to the prostitutes of the aristocratic family, the concubine's daughters or the prostitute's prostitutes who are relatively lower in status are blushing and heartbeating, and their identities are worthy of the fifth prince, but they are also highly regarded.

Not to mention, the fifth prince looks good, even if he can't speak, it doesn't affect anything.

Jiao Yun has not been separated from Nie Baichang these days, suddenly he was not used to sleeping alone last night, although he slept well, he still thought about it.

Seeing it again suddenly, I couldn't help but take a few more glances.

After watching it, he restrained himself from looking away and glanced at the situation in the hall, and his mood was not good.

Youyou lowered her eyes, looking sour, he is also good-looking, Nie Xiaobai is still wearing a mask, look at him more, don't look at his people!

Apparently Jiao Yun thought everyone was looking at Nie Baichang, but he just thought that although the fifth prince was a prince, he was a high-ranking daughter of some officials, but after all he was a mute, and since he didn't have a concubine or a concubine, he might not be able to go far in the future. When the new emperor ascends the throne, he might confiscate a piece of land and distribute it as a fief.

Those who didn't want to leave the capital couldn't help but focus on the newly conferred son Yu.

Although this son Yu is a merchant, but now he is the son of the emperor himself, so he has the status.

Most importantly, he has a good adoptive father.

Not only does he hold a heavy army, but he also has a prince's son-in-law, who is the prince who is most likely to become the crown prince.

What's more, the face of the other party...it makes people fascinated just by looking at it.

Chang San stood behind the master in fear, watching the master coldly glance at the female relatives behind him secretly looking at the prince Yu, and swallowed hard.

Refusing to admit that he had just seen the backs of Grandpa's clenched hands on his knees were covered with blue veins on the verge of rage.

Why hasn't this banquet started yet?If he didn't start again, he was afraid that the master would rush over and snatch Shizi Yu away so that no one else could see it.

A master who is in the midst of jealousy is terrible.

It would be great if I knew that Chang Si would bear this bloody storm!
