Li Wenchong came back a little late today, and Gu Qingling guessed that he must have been kept by Emperor Mingguang.

Sure enough, that's what she asked.

Li Wenchong took off his outer robe, changed into casual clothes, and asked the people who were serving him in the house to go down.

"You don't know today, the emperor got angry."

As he said that, he told the story of the eldest prince scolding the third prince and the fourth prince, saying that they were also stupid, and they didn't see what the situation was now, so they ran out to jump.

No matter how "smart" the eldest prince is, he has never seen the eldest prince make such mistakes as theirs.

"I heard what you said, the eldest prince doesn't seem stupid? If he is really stupid, he shouldn't be the one who was scolded today, not the third prince or the fourth prince?"

Li Wenchong laughed: "There is no real fool in the royal family. If he is really stupid, he will never live to this day."

"Then... why did the eldest prince say that he was not very smart?"

"It depends on whom I compare with. If I compare with the Prince of Jin, the eldest prince is indeed worse than that of the Prince of Jin." Li Wenchong said, "When I was studying in the study room, the eldest prince was not as good as the Prince of Jin. Later, after leaving the study room, they took the errands together. The Prince of Jin was doing beautifully, and the eldest prince was careless, so I can only say that nothing big mistakes."

Over the years, the princes of Jin have always been outstanding.

Therefore, the first to be named Prince of Jin was also Prince of Jin.

The eldest prince was still the King of Ye County who was named later.

Some people say that the eldest prince Li Jian was able to be named "The King of Ye County". It was not because he had a great contribution, but because he had a good mother and had the status of the eldest son, otherwise it would not be his turn.

"But think about it, if the eldest prince is really better than the prince of Jin, what would he end up?" Li Wenchong curled his lips slightly and said, "Concubine Yu was born in Taibao Mansion, one of the three divisions. His father was the minister appointed by the late emperor. Even when the late queen was still alive, he had to give him some face."

"It's just that Concubine Yu is a smart person. She has been very low-key since she entered the palace, not showing any signs of water or showing off. But she can give birth with her belly and slowly rises with her qualifications."

"When others fought to the death, she was promoted from Zhaoyi to the throne of concubines and sat for many years."

"Until the first queen passed away and was promoted to the imperial concubine."

...

As the saying goes, the winner is the one who laughs to the end.

Li Wenchong affirmed that Concubine Yu must be a smart person, otherwise it would not have been possible that he would have stood for so many years without falling.

Perhaps, she is not a particularly favored concubine in the harem, but based on her background, as long as she is good and the eldest prince is good, no one can defeat her.

"No one has ever noticed this Concubine Yu?" Gu Qingling was surprised.

After hearing what Li Wenchong said, this Concubine Yu is definitely "winning".

Originally, he was born in Taibao Mansion. His father was in a high position and was in power. He sat firmly on Diaoyutai in the harem.

When the queen died, although she was not promoted to the queen, she was still a concubine - there was no tiger on the mountain, and the monkey was also called the king.

It can be said that except for the title of the queen, the entire harem is in her hands.

Li Wenchong: "Someone must be paying attention, but Concubine Yu is very low-key. She is a person who is 'indifferent as chrysanthemum' in the palace. No matter how winds in the east, south, west and north, she insists on the green mountains and does not relax, and there is nothing wrong with anyone, and there is no way to deal with her."

"Then..." Gu Qingling's eyes flashed, "No one would be framed, so he would make some moves?"

"Yes, but it was exposed by Concubine Yu."

Gu Qingling: "Isn't it successful once?"

"Yes, but Concubine Yu is the final winner." Li Wenchong looked at her and said, "Do you think that the one who can come out of the harem will be a simple character? He already has a particularly powerful mother. If the eldest prince is smarter, who can sit still?"

nonsense!

If Concubine Yu was a smart person, the eldest prince Li Jian was also a smart person. The first person who couldn't sit still was probably the Prince of Jin, but Emperor Mingguang.

Gu Qingling suddenly felt that if the eldest prince’s “not very smart” was disguised, then he would be too terrible.

But if the eldest prince is indeed "not very smart", it can only be said that Concubine Yu is indeed a smart person. She is very sober and knows that she does not need a "too smart" son.

However, Concubine Yu taught her son like this, so she would not be afraid of capsizing in the gutter and finishing herself?

seemingly……

This is a very risky one, right?

But judging from the praise and chronicles of the eldest prince over the years, it seems that there is no danger.

I don’t know if Concubine Yu is so powerful, so she can take her son through danger every time. But the mother and son are blessed and have a great life, so they deserve to be taken care of by God.

Gu Qingling said: "Which do you think they are?"

"Concubine Yu is a smart person, there is no doubt that this is true. Although the eldest prince is not very smart, he has a particularly great advantage," Li Wenchong stared into Gu Qingling's eyes and said, "He can listen to other people's opinions. When Xuan Taibao was appointed as the minister of the state, he was able to retire successfully, which is enough to show that Xuan Taibao is a smart person. Before he retired, he had accepted several apprentices..."

One of these disciples is in the eldest prince’s mansion.

It is said that he is very trusted by the eldest prince.

"What do you mean... Before leaving, Xuan Taibao sent an aide to the eldest prince?" Gu Qingling was very surprised.

As a foreigner, Xuan Taibao sent his aide to his grandson, but the aide he sent should be excellent and trusted by the eldest prince. He has been used for so many years...

That's not easy!

Gu Qingling asked who it was.

Li Wenchong shook his head: "I don't know, I only know that there is one thing, what's more, I don't know. On the surface, it was that Xuan Taibao had arranged a gentleman for the eldest prince. In addition, the Xuan family and the eldest prince's mansion were not very close. When Xuan Taibao was still alive, the Xuan family had contact with the eldest prince's mansion, but after Xuan Taibao retired, he took the whole family back to his hometown in Jiangxi... Since then, the Xuan family has slowly withdrawn from the court stage."

It cannot be said that there are no officials from the Xuan family in court. It can only be said that they are not special official positions and do not seem to attract much attention.

As a relative of the country, the family of the late queen is not as noticeable as the first queen.

Gu Qingling: "This Taibao Xuan is really a smart person!"

Not only is he smart, but he is also a very sober person.

Concubine Yu is still alive and the eldest prince is still in the battle for the throne. The Xuan family cannot be too high or low, otherwise it will be too easy to attract attention.

Now the Xuan family seems to be low-key and has no important official positions, but who says that these positions cannot find out any information about the court or grasp the trends of the court?

Compared to the Xuan family's high position and high power, it is better to bury some hidden lines to reduce the vigilance of those in power...

In addition, the eldest prince Li Jian was not as good as the prince of Jin when he was young, and his ability to do things in all aspects was not outstanding. It can be said that he was a minor mistake, but no big mistake.

But it is such a person who has an advantage that no one does not have - he can listen to the opinions of his staff. He seems not smart, but he will not make big mistakes.

In a sense, it is the eldest prince Li Jianhui who "employed people".

For those in power, if they don’t want to expand their territory, then having a “maintained king” like the eldest prince seems to be a good rebellion.

Gu Qingling: “…”

So, did the Xuan family bury the thread so early?

Maybe, she was thinking too much.

After all, she was hindsight.
