"I see." The emperor nodded, "The women in the palace are like the harem, they all need to be managed, besides, it's just a concubine who makes a mistake, how can it be your turn to teach a lesson?" It seems that the eighth princess did not do her job well. ”

"Zitong has been very busy lately, because the workshop was burned by fire some time ago, so it ......"

"You don't have to protect her, although she is a female official of my imperial seal, but the first important identity is your princess, the mistress of the palace, she can't even manage a concubine, how can she do a big thing? I will punish her. ”

"How does Father want to punish him?"

"Punish her to copy the "Internal Training" a hundred times."

"This ......" Chu Litian had a headache, "The emperor should call her into the palace to sue her." ”

"Why, she doesn't listen to what you say?"

Chu Litian looked embarrassed: "Not only will I not listen, but I'm afraid I'll think that Erchen wants to fix her and be angry with Erchen." ”

Chu Litian's distressed expression made the emperor laugh: "I have never seen you like this, it seems that Zitong has really suppressed you, such a daughter-in-law I have to find a few more, lest your third brother and fourth brother go out to have fun all day long." ”

Chu Litian showed a gentle smile and did not speak.

Back to the palace, his face was gloomy all the way, sitting on the Taishi chair and looking at the magnolia roasted by the sun outside the courtyard, he was very irritable, a little maid brought a cup of tea, he didn't look at it and took it to drink, who knew that the tea was piping hot, so hot that he immediately shook the teacup and roared: "Looking for death?" Pull me out and hit twenty boards! ”

The maid knelt on the ground in a panic: "The prince spares his life, the eighth princess got some good tea, so she let the slave maid soak it in boiling water and send it, for fear of affecting the taste, but the slave and maid drank it before they had time to remind the prince." ”

It was a strange maid, Chu Litian waved her hand to let her retreat, and Laixi, who heard the movement, hurriedly ran in, and the mess in the house frightened him: "What's the matter, Lord Wang?" ”

"Clean up here, and then go and invite Master Zhang Mingyuan Zhang to come to the palace."

"Now? It's the time for lunch, isn't it good to call Mr. Zhang over at this time? ”

"If he doesn't want to come, tell him that Zhang Ying is not in good health, and ask him to come over immediately."

"Yes." Lai Xi answered and left.

After less than two quarters of an hour, Lai Xi came to the palace with the panicked Zhang Mingyuan, Zhang Mingyuan thought that he would be taken by Lai Xi to Zhang Ying's residence, but who knew that Lai Xi took him to the main building, Chu Litian sat on the Taishi chair and looked at them.

"Weichen see the eighth prince." Zhang Mingyuan stepped forward and knelt down to salute.

"This king's legs and feet are not very comfortable, so I can't get up to help you, Laixi, move a chair for Lord Zhang."

Zhang Mingyuan sat down and looked at Chu Litian with some weakness: "Su Rili heard Ying'er say that the prince's legs have rheumatism, and Weichen happened to have a medicine, so he had to give it to the prince to try." ”

"Master Zhang has a heart." Chu Litian sat calmly, with a posture that I wouldn't say anything if you didn't ask.

However, Weichen heard that Ying'er's body was not well...... I originally wanted to go to see Ying'er, but now it seems that the prince seems to have something to do with Weichen. ”

"This king has never been a person who beats around the bush, and today the emperor summoned this king into the palace and threw your impeachment of this king in front of this king."

Looking at Chu Litian's smiling expression like a spring breeze, Zhang Mingyuan was like sitting on pins and needles, his hands were already tightly clasped together, and when he saw Chu Litian sitting on the chair unharmed, he knew that the emperor had spared Chu Litian, and reason told him that he should immediately kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, so that Chu Litian could spare him for the sake of their relationship, but he didn't do it for the sake of face.

"Weichen is a speech official, so he naturally wants to say things that others can't say and dare not say." Zhang Mingyuan cleared his throat and said righteously.

"But both the king and the emperor think that Lord Zhang is deliberately framing me, does Lord Zhang still think that he is a good courtier who is outspoken?"

Zhang Mingyuan's eyebrows twitched twice, his heartbeat was so fast that he almost collapsed, his brain was blank, and he couldn't even find the last chips.

At this time, Laixi walked in with two cups of tea and placed the tea in front of them.

"This is the Tieguanyin planted in the East China Sea, Lord Zhang, please try it."

Zhang Mingyuan took the tea stiffly, the heat coming out of the purple sand teacup was refreshing, but in his opinion, it was a deadly poison, he saw people very accurately, he would not be wrong, although Chu Litian had always been gentle and polite, in fact, he was a ruthless and vicious person, even if he had a close relationship with him, he would never find it, but he had fiery eyes, and he could see at once the true quality of Chu Litian hidden in his gentle smile.

Ninety-five percent probability, this cup of tea is poisonous, Zhang Mingyuan smiled embarrassedly and said: "I'm really embarrassed, my doctor said that my liver is not good, it's better not to drink tea." ”

"Oh, it's okay." Chu Litian was very considerate, "That's a pity, I couldn't drink this good Tieguanyin." ”

"Wait for Weichen to take care of his liver, and then come and drink three cups with the prince."

Chu Litian nodded, and after taking a small drink, he said calmly: "Ying'er has been married into the palace for some time, although the child is gone, but it has been a lot of contributions over the years, so this king decided to let her be a side concubine, what is Lord Zhang's intention?" ”

"The prince is thinking about the little girl, and the ministers are terrified." Zhang Mingyuan suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chu Litian.

Chu Litian frowned, but he didn't help him: "Lord Zhang, what are you doing?" Anyway, you are also the father-in-law of this king, how can you kneel to this king? ”

"The prince is magnanimous, not only does not blame Weichen, but also promotes Weichen's daughter, Weichen is grateful, and I don't know how to repay the prince."

"This king doesn't need you to repay, as long as you have nothing else to do, you can join this king's two books."

Zhang Mingyuan buried his head even lower, feeling even more ashamed.

"Okay, get up quickly, this king invited you over just to invite you to drink a cup of tea, and now you don't drink tea, seeing that you are so restrained, this king can't keep you, you go back."

Zhang Mingyuan was excited, and hurriedly thanked him and left.

Leaving from the prince's ink house, Zhang Mingyuan passed by his daughter's Mingyuexuan, thinking that he hadn't seen his daughter for many days, so he walked in, who knew that a large number of female workers were working inside, and the noise made him frown, and he almost asked one of them in a reprimanding tone: "Where is Concubine Zhang?" ”

"The concubine is resting." Zhang Ying's personal maid who came out of the room hurriedly replied, "My lord, why are you here?" ”

"Why are there so many people in this courtyard? Ying'er is still recuperating from her injuries, how can she be so noisy? ”

The little maid's face was full of helplessness: "There is no way, the yard where the female workers work has been burned, so they can only work here, and they will move there when the yard is rebuilt." ”

"It's okay to rent a courtyard outside, why does the prince let the princess do whatever he wants?"

The little maid looked around, and when she saw that no one was paying attention to her words, she smiled bitterly and said, "The prince loves the princess very much, and the courtyard where the female workers worked before was specially bought by the princess. ”

"That's it, since Ying'er is sleeping, I won't bother and let her take care of her body, understand?"

"The slave knows."

So Zhang Mingyuan left the Eight Princes' Mansion in a carriage, thinking along the way that his daughter had suffered so much in the palace, and the later Ye Zitong actually came to the top, thinking that it was not because of his status with Ye Tiande, but because Ye Zitong's methods were too clever, thinking that when Ye Zitong had not yet entered the palace, Ying'er was also the most favored.

With this woman in one day, his warbler will not be happy.

Halfway through, the carriage stopped suddenly, he lifted the window and looked out, it was the fourth prince who was also driving by in the carriage, and was about to salute, when he heard his calm words: "Master Zhang, do you have time to come to the cold house to sit?" ”

The previous courtyard was resting, Ye Zitong was recruiting female workers and male workers everywhere, and there were some results these days, recruiting five men and eight women, arranged in each courtyard, because men would have more trouble, so three of them were arranged in Yunju, and the other two were arranged in the courtyard of Yuanxiang and the courtyard of Dead Wood Swallow.

What Ye Zitong didn't expect was that this decision would bring her a near-ruined disaster.

The eighth prince hasn't been to see his concubines for a long time, Yuan Xiang doesn't like to talk, so naturally it doesn't need to be said, Lin Wanting is still young and pregnant and doesn't understand anything, Zhang Ying was beaten by him and has a miscarriage and is holding a grudge, leaving Dead Muyan to sit in the courtyard all day long and complain.

"Mingyu, what kind of life do you think I'm living here? I haven't seen the prince for more than half a month, I thought that the situation would be better as the prince's side concubine, who knows that the situation will get worse, do you think the prince should have forgotten me? ”

Mingyu, who was serving on the side, persuaded in a low voice: "Don't think so much about the side concubine, if the prince doesn't come, just wait for him to come, and one day he will come." ”

"But I've been waiting for a long time, and if I keep waiting like this, when will it end? Mingyu, sometimes I really regret marrying into this palace, although the prince is a talent and is the marriage partner of all women, but ...... But what's the use of marrying in and not being loved? It's better to marry an ordinary rural wild man, as long as he is good to himself. ”

Mingyu chuckled: "Miss, I heard you right, right?" Are you going to marry a rural wild man? With your strong temperament, how can you live a poor life? In the final analysis, it is because Miss has no children, and it would be nice if Miss could conceive a child. ”

"To put it simply, the prince hasn't come to see for a long time, how can I get pregnant?"

"Alas, Miss should always find a way to invite the prince over."

"Hmph, he won't touch me when he comes, it's very difficult to conceive his child, it's better for me to conceive a child with someone else."

Mingyu was shocked: "Concubine Fang, don't say such things, if you are heard and passed to the prince, you will be punished by the family!" ”

"Family law is family law, I don't have children, I can't drop it."

At this moment, the bell walked in from outside with a male worker and two female workers, and Dead Muyan sneered and said, "The princess has recruited someone to stuff me again?" ”
