Chapter 146 Arousing the desire for power
Chapter 146 Arousing the desire for power
Mu Tangxi curved his eyes towards Mu Lianxue, then looked away first.
This look is very good, and it is becoming more and more similar to Mu Lianxue in the previous life.
I'm really looking forward to the excitement that's coming.
But when she looked away, she suddenly found that it was Ji Qichen who was facing her?
Wasn’t he the Third Prince just now?
Mu Tangxi smiled gently at Ji Qichen, then mercilessly shifted her gaze to look at the eldest princess.
Ji Qianzhu is the woman who stands at the top of this era. She has power that surpasses the third prince and can live as she pleases.
But she still cannot escape the shackles of the world.
Although the current queen seems to have a high status, once she leaves the palace and the emperor, her power will leave her.
Mu Tangxi observed Ji Qianzhu's every move, his eyes filled with exploration.
She really wanted to know if the eldest princess had any desire for that position.
Halfway through the banquet, the eldest princess invited all the guests to go to the courtyard to see the plum blossoms.
Heavy snow flakes fell softly on the bright red plum blossoms.
Ji Qianzhu arranged for the guests to view the plum blossoms in order to take this opportunity to win over some people.
As for what others want to do, what does it have to do with her?
Mu Jinrong stared at Mu Jinfeng's back, recalling his sister's words in his mind.
With his small body, he can't push this person, so he has to create opportunities.
As for the result, it doesn't matter whether Mu Jinfeng's mask is broken or falls off.
This way, just let him show his whole face!
When his sister discussed countermeasures with him before, they were considering indoors. They just needed to accidentally pour tea on the path Mu Jinfeng was walking on, so that he would slip.
But now the plan has changed and things have become simpler.
It was snowing outside, which concealed his movements. Although the snow on the ground was swept clean by the servants, it was still falling from the sky.
He just had to walk in front of Mu Jinfeng with the teacup and pour the tea on the ground. The tea would quickly solidify into a thin layer of ice in the cold environment.
Even if Mu Jinfeng fell, no one would suspect him.
Mu Jinrong ignored the biting cold wind blowing on his body, and his hands tucked into his sleeves tightly grasped a cup of tea.
Among the guests who were dispersing to look for their friends, Mu Jinrong's small figure was not noticeable. He slowly approached Mu Jinfeng.
Observing which direction Mu Jinfeng was going.
It's a pity that Mu Jinfeng seems to have no friends. He just stays there without moving and looks at the plum blossoms intently? !
Mu Jinrong turned to look at her sister and received an encouraging look.
He turned his head and regained his confidence.
Mu Tangxi had been keeping an eye on the two siblings and finally discovered their first target.
It's so pitiful, brother, that he is being plotted against by his own sister.
Mu Tangxi hadn't looked for long when he felt someone standing in front of him.
She raised her eyes and saw the third prince as expected.
At this time, he seemed to have given up on the idea of entering the hall just now, and Ji Qichen was now just like them taking an outing in the suburbs.
He hesitated for a moment and then asked, "What do you like?"
Mu Tangxi paused. She actually wanted to say that she liked power, but that was too direct.
"I like whatever you give me." Mu Tangxi said casually.
After hearing this, Ji Qichen's eyes were vague for a moment, and the heat spread from the roots of his ears to the tips of his ears.
At this moment, he was very glad that his face didn't turn red, otherwise it would be so embarrassing!
Mu Tangxi asked casually, "What do you want to do after you get married?"
When Ji Qichen heard this topic, he was suddenly stunned, and his heart beat a little faster.
"After we get married, my father will give me the title of prince, and then we can travel around, or stay in the mansion?"
Mu Tangxi watched Ji Qichen seriously telling her his ideas, and her heart finally settled down.
He really wants to be a leisurely prince.
Mu Tangxi looked straight into Ji Qichen's eyes, and said with a worried look on her face: "But what if the Crown Prince and the Second Prince drag you into the struggle?"
If a prince doesn't even have the ability to protect himself, how can he survive?
Either as a tool or as a stepping stone.
Finally, it was submerged in the long history, and no one knew the proof of its existence.
Ji Qichen was stumped for a moment. After all, before he met Mu Tangxi, he didn't have any lofty ambitions, and there were two princes from powerful maternal families in front of him.
If he threatened them, he would die without a burial place.
Therefore, Ji Qichen stayed away from power struggles as much as possible, did not make friends with other people, and did not win over ministers.
Stay quietly in your own yard.
But, Tangxi is right.
If he were to be dragged into a fight and made a scapegoat one day, he wouldn't even have a way to redress his grievances.
Moreover, after Tangxi married him, he would also be responsible for Tangxi. If he was involved, what would Tangxi do alone?
And maybe you will get implicated by him!
Mu Tangxi looked at Ji Qichen's changing expression and found it very interesting for a moment.
Did you figure it out so quickly? She still had a lot of words of persuasion to say.
Ji Qichen lowered his eyes dejectedly, "I will solve everything, don't worry, Tangxi."
After thinking about her own power, she suddenly realized with disappointment that she was not even as powerful as the princesses in the palace.
It was really unfair for Tangxi to marry him.
Originally he thought of just muddling through, living one day at a time. Originally he was alone, but now it's different.
Ji Qichen suddenly felt that his father gave Tangxi to him perhaps in order to weaken the arrogance of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was not worthy of Tangxi.
It was like a dream that a prince with no money and power could marry the prime minister's daughter!
In the end, he still got the better deal.
After marrying Tangxi, he changed from a powerless Prince Huan to a powerless but influential prince!
Seeing that the situation was getting tense, Mu Tangxi added, "I'm afraid that you'll be used as a pawn by others. Why don't we work together to fight for it?"
When Mu Tangxi said the last sentence, she deliberately lowered her voice and looked at Ji Qichen with a worried look on her face.
If you want to achieve a certain goal, all you have to do is say it in a way that makes the other person think it’s all for him.
If you simply say, "If you don't fight for power, then what should I do?", this will only make the other person unhappy.
But when the content of the conversation becomes: if you don't fight for power, what if one day you are taken advantage of by someone and can't get away from it, this seems to be standing in the perspective of others and worrying about others.
It can make people listen to what you say directly!
That's human nature.
Ji Qichen was silent for a moment. Just as he opened his mouth to say something, he heard some noisy sounds.
What he wanted to say was interrupted, Ji Qichen frowned and looked towards the direction where the voice came from.
Mu Tangxi didn't care too much about what Ji Qichen wanted to say. Who would refuse such a thing?
However, it looks like the fun is about to begin there.
