Chapter 2765 2767 [Two birds with one stone]

   After returning from the prime minister's mansion, Xiang Nan returned to his bedroom.

  Because Prince Yi's mansion is still under construction, he still has to live in the palace for the time being.

   To him, it's not a bad thing.

   One, living in the palace, he can often visit the empress and the empress dowager, and connect with each other; the other, Qu Xiaofeng is also in the palace, so he can go to play with her.

  In the play, in order to protect Qu Xiaofeng, Li Chengyin has been deliberately alienating her, but in fact he was wrong.

  He accepted Chai Mu's suggestion, thinking that whoever he treats well will be unlucky, so he keeps alienating, repelling, and suppressing Qu Xiaofeng.

   Even doting on Zhao Sesel alone, to attract firepower for Qu Xiaofeng. But what he did, made Qu Xiaofeng even more injured.

   It was exactly the answer to that sentence, "You said you would protect me from the wind and rain, but you brought my wind and rain."

  The reason for this is that both he and Chai Mu overestimated the abilities of Gao Ming and Zhang Meiniang, but underestimated the abilities of Emperor Li Wei.

  They thought that Gao Ming and Zhang Meiniang could cover the sky with one hand in the front court and the harem, and even the emperor Li Zhen had been emptied by them, so they had to act in front of them to avoid being targeted by them.

  But in fact, whether it is Gao Ming or Zhang Meiniang, they are just pawns in Li Xi's hands. Li Xi is the one who really hides his secrets, turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain.

   If Gao Ming was imprisoned, he would be imprisoned, and if Zhang Meiniang was imprisoned, he would be imprisoned. The two of them had no power to resist.

  Therefore Li Chengyin's fight with Gao Ming and Zhang Meiniang, not to mention completely unnecessary, but the significance is indeed not great.

  Because it was never him who decided Gao Ming and Zhang Meiniang's life and death, but because Emperor Li Bi no longer wanted to keep them.

  Like the former prince Li Chengji said, "In the palace, the last thing you need is the truth!"

  It's a pity that neither Li Chengyin nor Li Chengye has understood this truth, and they have always been pretending to be smart.

  …

   In the next few days, Xiang Nan has nothing to do, and is completely an idle prince.

   In this respect, it is not even as good as Li Chengye.

  Because Li Chengye is still working in the Ministry of Industry, he has the right to participate in and discuss state affairs, but Xiang Nan does not.

  However, he didn't complain, but seized this opportunity to get in touch with Qu Xiaofeng as much as possible.

  This is what Zhang Meiniang and Gao Ming hope to see.

  Because marrying Qu Xiaofeng, the ninth princess of Xizhou, can increase Xiang Nan's weight in competing for the crown prince. So they did not hesitate to write a letter to Gao Xian, asking him to facilitate this matter.

  Of course, the world is like a chess game.

  After Xiang Nan really became the crown prince, Gao Ming was worried that he would use Qu Xiaofeng to control the western region, so as to get rid of their control over him, so he started to be afraid again.

  So at present, Xiang Nan's pursuit of Qu Xiaofeng will not be hindered by Zhang Meiniang and Gao Ming, but will be supported by them.

   Moreover, Xiang Nan's pursuit of Qu Xiaofeng will also bring pressure to Li Chengye.

  Li Chengye's character is impetuous, arrogant and inferior. He knew that Xiang Nan's pursuit of Qu Xiaofeng would definitely affect his fight for the crown prince. When under pressure, they will resort to repeated tricks, making it easier for Xiang Nan to seize the opportunity.

   So this is killing two birds with one stone too!

  Xiang Nan then asked craftsmen to make a skateboard for Qu Xiaofeng to play with.

  …

  After Qu Xiaofeng entered the palace, she was arranged by the Empress Dowager to live in Lanyue Pavilion next to her Shouren Palace.

   This kind of preferential treatment is not even given to the two Princesses of the Rich Dynasty, Yongning and Luoxi, which shows how much the Empress Dowager loves her.

  The reason why the Empress Dowager loved her so much was mainly because Qu Xiaofeng reminded her of Princess Mingyuan who also married far away and had a close relationship with Xizhou.

  Princess Mingyuan is her most beloved granddaughter, but it's a pity that she hasn't seen each other for fifteen years since she married to Xizhou. So she transferred this feeling to Qu Xiaofeng.

   Fortunately, Qu Xiaofeng's character is innocent, lively and cute, and very lovable, so the Empress Dowager loves her even more.

  However, there are strict rules in the Fengchao Palace, and after Qu Xiaofeng entered the palace, she began to prepare for becoming the Crown Princess.

  For example, if you want to learn the characters of the rich dynasty, you can’t be blind; learn the etiquette and palace rules of the rich dynasty. As a concubine, a future empress, she wants to respect the world and set an example for the people of the whole country. Of course, she must abide by the rules in every word and deed...

  As Qu Xiaofeng was used to being free, he was naturally very dissatisfied with these red tapes and rules, so he became bored within a few days.

  Fang Shangyi, who taught her etiquette, is also a very strict and strict master, who really wants to restrain her.

"Oh, I'm so annoying, when can I go out, when can I go to the street, if I can't go out again, I'm going to be bored to death." Sitting in the Lanyue Pavilion, Qu Xiaofeng yelled boredly, "That Li Chengyin He lied to me again, saying that he would take me out to play, but he didn't see anyone for so many days. I hate him to death!"

  At this moment, Yong Niang came in with a maid, "Princess Ninth, this is the maid Chan'er sent by His Royal Highness Yi Wang."

   "See Princess Nine." Chan'er stepped forward and saluted.

   "Does he still think of me? What did he send you for?" Qu Xiaofeng asked puzzled.

"His Royal Highness King Yi sent his slaves here to offer a plaything to the Ninth Princess." Chan'er said, and then opened the worship box, and inside was a wooden skateboard, as well as knee pads, wrist pads and a cap made of leather .

   "What is this?" Qu Xiaofeng asked puzzled.

"Your Highness said, this is a skateboard, and you can step on it like this, and it's as fast as lightning." Chan'er explained, "These are knee pads, wrist pads, and caps. Your highness is a beginner and can't master the balance. After wearing it, you won't be afraid of falling." gone."

   "Really?! Then I'll try." Qu Xiaofeng was eager to try it when he heard it.

  Afterwards, under Yong Niang's cooking, Qu Xiaofeng put on knee pads, wrist pads, and a cap, and then took the skateboard to the courtyard. With the support of Yongniang and A'Du, he stepped on the skateboard, and then walked slowly.

   "Hey, fun, fun." Qu Xiaofeng laughed, "Let go~"

As soon as Yongniang and A'Du let go, Qu Xiaofeng slid forward immediately, although the speed was not fast, but she was still a novice, so she still felt her feet shaking, and she kept screaming in fright, "Oh, oh , oops..."

  Finally, I panicked, my legs gave way, and I fell to the ground. Fortunately, I brought knee pads and wrist pads, so I only hurt from knocking, but fortunately I was not injured.

   "Princess, princess, are you alright? The maidservant will die!" Yong Niang and A'Du hurried over, helping her up, pleading guilty.

   "I'm fine. When I was learning to ride a horse, I didn't know how many times I fell." Qu Xiaofeng stood up and said, "Can a mere skateboard stop me? You underestimate me, look at me."

   "Princess, do you still want to play?" Yong Niang asked worriedly, she was really worried that the ninth princess would fall.

   "Hmph, why don't you play with such a fun thing." Qu Xiaofeng said, "Besides, Li Chengyin can play, so I can't learn without reason."

   Then she started learning again.

  Fortunately, she is smart, and she has been riding a horse since she was a child, learning martial arts and archery, and her athletic ability is still good. Therefore, although she fell a lot of somersaults, she quickly mastered the tricks, which gave her the joy of learning skateboarding.
