It was very quiet in the study, and the silent pin drop could be heard.

After a long time, the prince raised his head and asked, "Do you still have these things you brought?" ”

"Yes, transparent soap, towels, matches, there are a hundred." Zuo Chen hurriedly answered.

Although he didn't know what the prince was going to do, Zuo Chen still said the number without thinking.

"There are so many, just bring me such a little?" The prince frowned and said, pretending to be a little displeased.

Zuo Chen thought to himself, if you knew that I only reported half of the number, would you be even more angry?

"Grandpa, I just brought it to you to try first, I don't know if you like it or not, my grandson has a plan, as long as you like it, it will be available for you all year round." Zuo Chen pretended to be very aggrieved and said resentfully. It looks like a little daughter-in-law who has been wronged a lot.

"It's more like what you pretend! Okay, arrange for someone to go back to the house to get it, and enter the palace with me in a while to meet the old lady. The prince said with a smile.

"Grandson listen to your orders!" With that, he saluted, turned around and ran out of the study.

Looking at Zuo Chen in the distance, the prince thought to himself, now this kid's heart is so much, and it will be there in the future. With such a deep mind, how did Lao Liu Lie come out?

If the prince knew that Zuo Chen ran away from home and came to Kyoto, he didn't know how he would feel. If you know that Liu Lie has no way to take this little grandson, and he is still worried. It is estimated that the prince will immediately send someone to tie Zuo Chen back to Fengxiang and hand him over to Lao Lietou in person.

About half an hour, Zuo Chen re-entered the study and said respectfully, "Grandpa, according to your wishes, I took all the things." The remaining twenty pieces of transparent soap, I asked the steward to give them to the princess's grandmother. He grinned and flattered him.

"Okay, you don't have to ride a horse, just take my sedan chair into the palace in a while. By the way, let your entourage go back to your house as well, and when you come back, you will be sent back to your house by a different route. The prince said.

Zuo Chen agreed in a low voice, thinking that he could finally sit in a sedan chair carried by eight people.

The queen mother in her old age sat on the soft couch, full of spirit and kindness.

"Son, knock to see the birthday star of the queen mother." The prince greeted him respectfully, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old lady.

"Liu Zuochen, the son of the minister Liu Shangwu, greets the emperor's grandmother, and looks forward to the longevity of the grandmother and the eternal world." Zuo Chen waited for the prince to finish speaking, and quickly kowtowed to ask An to bow three times and bow nine times.

"Who? Liu Shangwu's son? I thought it was the heir of our Chen family. The Queen Mother looked at her son and said.

"After returning to his mother, he is the son of Liu Shangwu, called Liu Zuochen." The prince bowed back and gave Duke Xia a look in the distance, asking him to give the gift he brought.

"Oh, come here, and show Grandma how big this is." The Queen Mother said to Zuo Chen.

Zuo Chen stepped forward and stood still, complimenting him: "Grandma Huang, you have a fairy face and a beautiful face, but you are not like the ice and snow face that grandpa said. He said matter-of-factly, without the restraint of the children in the year of the dancing spoon, it was extremely relaxed and casual.

"You child, your mouth is as sweet as honey. Your grandfather is complaining that I didn't give him a good face. The Queen Mother listened to Zuo Chen's words and couldn't hide the joy in her heart. The more I look at Zuo Chen, the more pleasing it is to the eye.

The prince was happy to see Zuo Chen coaxing the queen mother, and said happily: "Queen Mother, this is Zuo Chen's little gift to you." ”

She is used to seeing rare treasures, and the Queen Mother is even more curious about this novel thing. Under the careful explanation of the prince, he touched the soft towel with his hand and put it on his face to feel it. Nodding his head, he admired Zuo Chen.

"Although things are small, expensive novelty is more expensive in intimate, what should you reward your kid?" The Queen Mother thought about it and muttered.

"Grandma Huang, these are all gadgets that show a little filial piety, if you like it, don't dare to be rewarded by you." Zuo Chen said, kneeling respectfully on the ground again.

The prince thought to himself, this little rabbit cub looks much smarter than his Lao Tzu and grandfather, when he was young! At such a young age, the governor understands etiquette, and he is really young and old.

The Empress Dowager looked at Zuo Chen, who was very pleasing to her, and said with a smile: "It seems that I remember, I heard your father Liu Shangwu say a few years ago that I haven't decided on a family affair yet, just wait for me to find a good daughter-in-law for you, what do you think?" ”

Zuo Chen was full of slander in his heart, this is also a reward? You might as well give me some real money to refresh yourself. Thinking that she had just made a good impression in front of the Queen Mother, she couldn't go against her face because of this, so she thanked En and agreed, and pretended to be very happy on her face. I calculated in my heart that it was still early to get to the time to marry a wife, and who knew if I would be able to do it by then.

"There are really a few princesses of his age." The prince even guided the queen mother's words in the direction of marriage.

"When I think about it...... didn't you go to the emperor's house to have a look?" The Queen Mother may be tired or want to be quiet, and she began to pick people out.

"Erchen has suffered from the wind and cold in the past few days, and he has not come to the court, so he will prepare to go to the imperial study for you, and the queen mother will rest, and Erchen will retire." After the prince finished speaking, he saluted Zuo Chen in turn, and when he saw the queen mother nodding, he withdrew.

Zuo Chen was impatient for a long time, and when he heard that he was going to the imperial study, he didn't dare to express it with a bitter face. I thought hatefully, I hope I will never come to this palace again in the future, this trick of yin and yang, but it can regulate people's schizophrenia.

Fortunately, there are several ministers in the imperial study who are discussing with the emperor, and they have seen the cumbersome gifts presented, and the prince just said that Zuo Chen came to Kyoto two days ago and went to the palace to live, and he was unable to come to the court when he suffered from typhoid fever.

The emperor squeezed out a smile, praised Zuo Chen a few words, and under the leadership of the prince, he went out of the imperial study.

Out of the imperial city, Zuo Chen and the prince sat in a sedan chair together, and the prince said: "In the imperial study, the tall and thin person wearing the red official robe is Li Ziqin. ”

"Li Ziqin? I didn't even look at him carefully, and I kowtowed to him. Zuo Chen said gloomily.

The prince smiled and said, "Look carefully, can you still go up and bite him to death?" He is a relative of the emperor, and his status is not much lower than mine. ”

Zuo Chen knew that calculating people did not work hard, they relied on their brains and power, even if Li Ziqin wanted to do something, he would not lose his identity and do it himself. No wonder the prince said that he lived in his palace.

"Thank you, grandson!" Zuo Chen, who figured it out, was grateful to the prince for covering it up, and then he really understood the purpose of the prince taking him into the palace.

"It's good to be able to figure it out, it is estimated that Li Ziqin tangled a few people and went to the imperial study to sue you for the black state. I went to stir up, and Li Ziqin's conspiracy came to naught again. The prince smiled and said, "These days, you'd better live in peace." A yellow-mouthed child actually provoked the court officials to run around, it seems that the scenery is infinite, and you should be careful of the big wind, understand. ”

"Understood, grandpa." Zuo Chen agreed. The heart said, "It's not my fault."

Along the way, the prince closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Even if Zuo Chen saw it, he was embarrassed to disturb, so he was bored and went to the General's Mansion.

As the prince said, Li Ziqin did go to the imperial study to tell Zuo Chen's black state, although he himself is the secretary of the criminal department, the official position is actually one level different from Liu Shangwu, without the emperor's permission, he is not able to go to the general's mansion to deal with Zuo Chen, so he greeted his confidant and came to the imperial study to ask for the holy decree.

Unexpectedly, the treacherous and cunning Prince Qing guessed his own way, and led Zuo Chen to the imperial study to make a statement, so he interrupted his very important link, and Li Ziqin, who was sitting in the imperial study, understood that this time it must be a failure.

The emperor had a gloomy face and had not spoken for a long time. Li Ziqin's thoughts were racing, thinking about how to get out of the current predicament, but the water that was spilled out of the words could not be recovered.

"Your Majesty, the old minister confessed to the emperor." Li Ziqin knelt on the ground and lowered his head and said.

The emperor raised his head, still gloomy face, and asked unhappily, "You, what is the crime?" ”

"Emperor Qi, it was Prince Qing's words that alerted the old minister, thinking that since General Liu's son was in the palace, how could he do such a deviant evil thing, it must be the old minister's subordinates who were negligent, and the old minister thought about the emperor's authority for a while, so he came out of the fork. It was the old minister who lacked consideration and almost caused a catastrophe, and the old minister was guilty! Li Ziqin lowered his head and said seriously, as if he really recognized his mistake.

The emperor pondered for a while, got up and helped Li Ziqin up with his own hands, and said: "If it is a negligence, it is not an exaggeration, after all, it has not caused irreparable consequences." If your subordinates have ulterior motives, you should rectify this bad official style. The son of Sun Yongquan has a bad record, and I have heard of it, and ordinary people can't help him, no matter who hurts him, it can be regarded as a lesson. With that, he stood there and pondered again.

"Emperor Xie made it clear!" Li Ziqin saw that the emperor's words had come to an end, and hurriedly complimented him.

After a while, the emperor looked at Shen Hong, the servant of the ministry, and said: "Shen Shilang, you are in charge of the examination of merit, and Sun Yongquan should also know what he did in Kyoto." That Sun Yongquan was hurt, which damaged the prestige of the people to the imperial court, and to say that it was unpleasant, it was detrimental to my prestige, and he had to give me an explanation! He sighed deeply, and said: "Why was the court official knocked on a stick, and he didn't do too many dirty things?" It wasn't because you officials protected each other that you took the risk and broke out in anger! ”

Frightened, Shen Hong had already knelt on the ground and drooped his head. I have already greeted Li Ziqin's ancestors in my heart, it is all this god-damn Li Ziqin, and he has to come to this pool to muddy the water, now it's okay, the emperor is going to take advantage of this matter to rectify the dynasty. He is the person in charge of the meritorious examination, and the emperor refuses to give up if the rectification is light, and he will not offend the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty if the rectification is heavy? At that time, it was really my grandmother who didn't kiss me, and my uncle didn't love it.

"Therefore, if the official style is not right, it will be investigated by me, and if it is damaged by the emperor's prestige, it must be investigated. Do you understand? Although the emperor's tone was as gentle as possible, the five court dignitaries kneeling on the ground saw that his face was cloudy.

Crying and mourning, they walked out of the imperial study, shook their heads, and hurriedly went back to their respective mansions, and even looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Who knows if the next rectification will implicate themselves?
