Princess Rui will always have a happy temperament, and when the four princes came back from the small garden with her, even the four princes rarely showed a little smile. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The fourth prince still remembered Lin Yan's instructions, and his hand was always carefully holding Princess Rui.

Princess Rui grinned, threw the flowers in her hand on the four princes for a while, and then raised her little feet to step on the feet of the four princes, and then raised her head and smiled proudly at the four princes.

Sometimes I almost fell down when I didn't walk steadily, and I was supported by the four princes, and I didn't know how to be afraid when I stood up straight, so I continued to step on people.

So when she returned to the inner hall, a pair of shoes of the four princes had been trampled on by her.

When she entered the side hall, Princess Rui saw Lin Yan, shook off the hands of the four princes and pounced with a smile.

Lin Yan hugged her to her lap, glanced at the shoes of the fourth prince, couldn't help glaring at her, and said, "Why is it so bad, I trampled on my brother's shoes dirty." ”

Princess Rui smiled and giggled and only drilled into Lin Yan's arms, completely looking like I didn't know what I had done wrong, and I was still very happy.

Lin Yan smiled at the fourth prince and said, "Next time, if my sister steps on your shoes again, you can stop her and ask her not to step on it." ”

The fourth prince glanced at Princess Rui, and said with some sorrow: "She doesn't listen!" ”

He found that this sister didn't seem to understand him, and he told her not to step on it, and she would step on it more happily.

Lin Yan said: "It's okay, if you talk about her a few more times, she will listen." ”

The fourth prince paused for a moment, then nodded.

Lin Yan left the four princes and Hu Shufei in Changkun Palace for a while, and then asked Hu Shufei to take the four princes to say goodbye and go back.

Princess Rui felt some affection for this brother who had been playing with him all afternoon, and when he left, Princess Rui pulled his sleeve and smiled brightly at him.

The fourth prince couldn't help but smile at her.

Concubine Hu Shufei glanced down at the four princes, sighed in her heart, and then couldn't help but say to Lin Yan: "Niangniang, in fact, the concubine is not a ruthless person, and the concubine doesn't like to kill people......"

She is also afraid of retribution, and she is also afraid that if she does something bad, she will not be able to sleep peacefully at night.

Lin Yan said: "This palace knows. ”

Concubine Hu Shu has been in the palace for so many years, and she may often have her own careful thoughts, but she has not done anything really harmful.

Even this time, she wanted to believe that she was dizzy for a while.

Lin Yan reminded her again: "Although the emperor and the palace gave you the four princes, don't forget that the eldest princess is also your child." ”

Concubine Hu Shufei curtled her knees to Lin Yan and said, "The concubine must listen to Niangniang's teachings. ”

Lin Yan nodded.

Concubine Hu Shufei took the four princes to retire and leave.

It's October.

The water conservancy construction in Yuzhou has been basically completed, and the second prince has finally returned to the capital from Yuzhou.

The second prince did a good job in Yuzhou this time, at least from the excerpts handed back by local officials and ministers in charge of water conservancy, it is shown that the second prince has indeed done a lot of things in Yuzhou.

I also heard that there was a heavy rain in Yuzhou in August, and there was a mudslide in the local area, which collapsed many houses and houses.

The second prince not only personally led people to the disaster relief, observed the people's feelings, and even condescended to go to the homes of the affected people to comfort them, and sent silver to food and clothing. He also killed several magistrates who embezzled disaster relief money, as well as businessmen who took the opportunity to raise prices, which attracted applause from the people.

As a result, the name of the second prince began among the local people and spread to other places.

When the Zhuang family entered the palace and talked about this matter with Lin Yan, he was a little disdainful and said: "The second prince is also too famous, what can be regarded as a big deal for the second prince, our Lin family has been born and died on the battlefield for several generations, and when there is no war, he also takes soldiers to help the local people farm land and grow grain, why don't you see anyone boasting." ”

The silver that the second prince took out for disaster relief was all from the imperial court, and now he is spending the silver of the imperial court to earn his reputation. There is also the reputation of the second prince that can spread so quickly, if there is no one behind her to push it, she will not believe it.

Lin Yan smiled, since ancient times, he has been a prince since ancient times, and he has been a long or virtuous person.

The two princes can't rely on the words "嫡" and "long", so naturally they can only rely on the "virtuous" side.

After sending the Zhuang family away, Lin Yan called Mu Qing and asked her, "How is the prince?" ”

Mu Qingdao said: "Rest assured, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is much more stable now." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also personally gave the emperor an excerpt, praised the merits of the second prince, and suggested that the emperor reward the second prince for his meritorious deeds. ”

Lin Yan said: "That's good." ”

What she is most afraid of is that the crown prince will not be able to stabilize after seeing the second prince emerge, and if he can't stabilize it, it will be easy to make mistakes.

He is the crown prince, as long as he does not make mistakes, he will always be the prince, even if the second prince has a reputation for virtue, it will be in vain.

He was appointed as the prince as the eldest son, representing orthodoxy, and the literati's maintenance of orthodoxy is deep-rooted, and it is not something that can be easily overthrown if you want to. He didn't need to worry about the length of the moment with the second prince.

Mu Qing was also a little pleased that the prince was calm and sensible now, if Empress Yuan saw it below, he should be happy.

Mu Qing said again: "After the second prince came back, the emperor asked him what reward he wanted, and the second prince interceded for Wu Zhaoyi. ”

Lin Yan said: "It's time to release the Wu family." ”

In the royal family, the nobility of mother and son are all dependent on each other, and the mother is expensive by the son, and the son is expensive by the mother.

The Wu family was punished and grounded in Zhaoyang Palace, which would hinder the reputation of the second prince.

The second prince was not in the palace before, and he could pretend not to know, but now that he has returned to the palace, he can't sit back and ignore the Wu family, otherwise the "filial piety" name of the second prince will be criticized.

The second prince has made meritorious contributions to supervising water conservancy and disaster relief this time, and the emperor cannot but reward him, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.

Now that the punishment of the Wu family's ban is lifted, it is a compensation for the merits of the second prince, and the rewards for the second prince in other aspects cannot be heavier.

Lin Yan instructed again: "Prepare the four treasures of the study room for the palace, take the phoenix seal too, and write an excerpt for the emperor in the palace." ”

Since the Wu family must be released, she, the queen, came forward to ask for the release of the Wu family, which is both logical and fulfills her virtuous name.

With the merits of the second prince to offset the Wu family's fault, this deal is still very cost-effective.

What's more, the Wu family was confined in Zhaoyang Palace, although she was imprisoned so that she couldn't make trouble for her, but at the same time, it also helped the second prince avoid this mother-in-law dragging her feet.

Mu Qing nodded and went to take out the phoenix seal and the four treasures of the study.

After Lin Yan wrote the fold, she stamped it with a phoenix seal, and then handed it to Ye Gonggong, saying, "Present the fold to the emperor." ”

After the emperor received Lin Yan's excerpt in the Qinzheng Palace, he took a look at it and didn't say anything, and then explained to Wan Gong: "Release Wu Zhaoyi." (To be continued.) )
