C2788 What Were They Thinking
"Get up." Princess Qi said, "We haven't seen each other for a while. Yun'er has become more and more handsome."
Princess Qi and Concubine Li had a good relationship. Before Princess Qi was married to the Fengjue Country, she often came to visit Concubine Li and naturally had a lot of dealings with this Eighth Prince. Therefore, she was quite familiar with the Eighth Prince.
The outside world was guessing whether Princess Qi would have some relationship with Consort Li. And help her rise, support her son as emperor, in fact, Princess Qi indeed had such thoughts. But... It was not because of their personal relationship.
As the princess of the Great Lu Dynasty, Princess Qi naturally had to consider everything thoroughly. Furthermore, she had to consider the problem from the perspective of the Great Lu Dynasty. She couldn't possibly ignore the safety and development of the Great Lu Dynasty just because of such a small personal relationship. The person she wanted to choose would naturally be the most beneficial to the development of the Great Lu Dynasty. The person who could help the Great Lu Dynasty recover to its peak.
Princess Qi had an understanding of the Eighth Prince. Compared to the other princes, the Eighth Prince was considered not bad, although he also had a little temper. However, the flaw did not cover up the jade. His quality was very good. He liked to read books since he was young. Only then could he have the ability and ability. Moreover, he could be said to have grown up by relying on Li Fei. He knew how to take care of others and had a good heart.
When all these qualities were combined, it made him rank very high in Princess Qi's heart. Furthermore, Princess Qi could be said to have watched the Eighth Prince grow up. She had an understanding of him and was confident that he was the most suitable candidate at the moment. That was why she took the initiative to pay a visit to Imperial Concubine Li. Furthermore... He also asked to meet the eighth prince.
As for what the outside world speculated, it was said that Princess Qi and Princess Qi had a personal relationship. It was nonsense to say that Princess Qi had the ability to support Imperial Concubine Li, and those who thought that Princess Qi would have more contact with a few princes. Looking at the conditions promised by the various families, based on the one that was most beneficial to her. It was also impossible to choose the Emperor.
It could only be said that those people did not understand Princess Qi and had never really understood Princess Qi. In their hearts, Princess Qi was just a person who was loved by the Emperor. She was even a little girl who was pampered and ignorant of the world. She did not have any ability. However, they did not know that Princess Qi also had her own thoughts. She was not such a short-sighted person.
"Thank you for your praise, aunt. I haven't seen you for a while and you have become even more beautiful." The Eighth Prince said.
"This little mouth of yours really knows how to speak. No wonder I heard from your mother that your concubines all like you very much." Princess Qi said with a smile.
The Eighth Prince smiled in embarrassment. His concubines did indeed like him very much.
"I heard from your mother that you have been reading books recently? What did you lose by reading?" Princess Qi asked.
"It's just some history books." The Eighth Prince said.
Princess Qi nodded and said, "It's not bad to like reading history books. You can know the merits and wrongs of the past emperors. Those are indeed very suitable for you to read now."
When the Eighth Prince and Consort Li heard Princess Qi's words, they were overjoyed in their hearts. Of course, neither of them dared to show it, especially the Eighth Prince, who spoke modestly.
Princess Qi could actually see the joy in the eyes of the Eighth Prince and Consort Li, but she did not care in her heart. In the face of such a matter, no one could remain calm. If it was her, she would also be very excited.
After that, Princess Qi casually chatted with the Eighth Prince. However, they did not talk about the matter of the throne. Although the Eighth Prince's heart was itching, he could not bear it. He still remembered what his mother had said to him. At this time, deliberately talking about the throne might make Princess Qi unhappy. If that was really the case, it would not be worth it.
"Aiya, it is getting late as we are chatting." Only then did Princess Qi realize that the sky had unknowingly darkened. She actually did not notice it just now.
In fact, Princess Qi really liked to chat with Imperial Concubine Li. She felt that her and Imperial Concubine Li's personalities were very compatible and they also had common topics to talk about. As for the experience outside of the pass, although it was not a big deal at the end, it was not a big deal. However, Princess Qi was also afraid. At this time... She also wanted to find someone to talk to. Consort Li was clearly the right candidate.
Although Princess Qi wanted to chat with Huang Feng more, but... She was a woman after all, so she still had some reservations. Furthermore... There were some topics that were not suitable for Huang Feng to talk about. Now, Li Fei and the eighth prince were here. She could chat freely.
It was precisely because of this that they unknowingly chatted for a long time.
"I ordered someone to prepare the food. Sister, you can eat here today. After eating, we can continue chatting." Li Fei said. To be able to chat more with Princess Qi to strengthen their relationship and increase their impression of each other, Li Fei was still very willing.
"That's right. It has been a long time since I have eaten with aunt. Why don't we eat together today?" The Eighth Prince also said.
"No, I think I should go back and eat." Princess Qi stood up and insisted.
After saying that, Princess Qi waved her hand and said goodbye to Imperial Concubine Li and the Eighth Prince. She brought Xiao Huan back and left in a hurry. In the eyes of Imperial Concubine Li and the Eighth Prince, that look made the mother and son's hearts palpitate.
"Mother, what do you think Princess Qi is thinking? Is she planning to help us stand up?" The Eighth Prince could not help but ask his mother.
"It's possible. Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to come over." Li Fei said. However, it was obvious that she wasn't sure either.
"But, in the end, we decided to let her stay for dinner. She didn't want to. Moreover, she left in such a hurry, as if she was afraid that we would keep her. " The Eighth Prince said worriedly, "Moreover, in the conversation just now, she didn't talk about the issue of the throne. It's just some family matters. "
If he didn't like it from the start, the Eighth Prince wouldn't have thought too much about it. However, there were so many people who wanted to see Princess Qi but could not. She had taken the initiative to meet them and even chatted with them for so long. The Eighth Prince couldn't help but think about it. After all, as a prince, it was impossible for him to not have the intention of becoming the emperor. He was just a layman.
However, Princess Qi didn't give him an accurate signal. This made the Eighth Prince's heart become chaotic. In a while, he felt that he might reach the sky in a single bound. At another time, he felt that Princess Qi had come here purely to pay a visit to his mother. It was just too difficult to find someone to chat with.
"I'm not very sure either." Consort Li said, "I feel that after seeing Princess Qi this time, she has become more assertive than before. Perhaps, she already has a suitable candidate in her heart. It's useless for the others to say anything else. You better not blindly think about it."1
