"This is the Xin Zi girl from Dongyuan, and now she is following the Empress Dowager, and she has taken over my class." As the queen spoke, a thick smile appeared on her face.

The prince nodded and glanced at Ah Zi meaningfully.

Although what the queen said was vague, he had already heard about this Dongyuan girl who was brought to the Sacred Heart Palace by Zuo Qiyang, and at this time, after the queen mentioned it slightly, he knew it in his heart.

Seeing that he looked like a small ghost, the Empress Dowager also smiled and took him to sit beside her, pretending to be angry and said, "Xi Ye, come here, let me ask you, why don't you do your studies well, what are you doing here with me and your mother?" ”

The crown prince also made an exaggerated look of being wronged, and said: "Imperial great-grandmother, how can you blame me so indiscriminately, I didn't just come back from the Wenhua Palace, thinking that I haven't come to greet you and the queen mother these days, so anxious that I didn't even have time to use lunch, and I came over without changing my clothes, not only did you praise me, but also wished me like this, and the child will never dare to come to greet you in the future." ”

The Empress Dowager pointed at the crown prince with a smile, looked at the queen and said, "Look at the good son you taught, I said one sentence, and he can bring back ten sentences." ”

The queen bowed her head and smiled, but did not answer.

Seeing this, the prince refuted again: "Imperial great-grandmother, you are wrong, I grew up under your teachings since I was a child, and the way of life is not learned with your guidance, why do I have a mistake now, but you blame my mother for coming later?" ”

"Okay, you sharp teeth, I won't fight with you." The Empress Dowager said. Slowly put away his smile and asked solemnly: "What are you doing here, let's talk about it." ”

Although the prince relied on his young age and the favor of these two to dare to be so wanton and coquettish, he was not the one who couldn't figure it out, and at this time he was busy putting away his smile, sat up straight and said: "Yesterday, after the early dynasty, Wang Fengyi, the secretary of the military department, begged me to come here, saying that he had nothing to do with the case of the Lingnan salt merchant Shen family. I want to see that he has been diligent and has never made any mistakes in his office over the years. I begged my father for mercy, I couldn't refute him at the moment, but I couldn't respond rashly, so I came to ask for your instructions. ”

The Empress Dowager responded. He glanced at the queen again. Seeing that the queen was silent. But her face was pale, and her hands were clasped tightly in front of her chest, knowing her attitude. I didn't have any scruples, and I confessed directly to the prince.

"Wang Fengyi's wife came to tell me about this matter before, and I explained to her the attitude between me and your mother at that time, so that if she has any grievances, just tell the emperor directly, and there is no need to ask us women, although we are the emperor's closest relatives, but we don't ask about the government, and we can't talk about this matter.

"It's better for her to ignore my words, and turn her head and beg you again?

"It's really a thing that can't hold up the wall, this Shen family's case is just a sign, everything is still inconclusive, they first shouted everywhere like this, even if it was originally irrelevant to them, now it is open to outsiders, it is also boring."

The prince listened carefully and understood the attitude of the Empress Dowager and the Empress on this matter, so he was sure that his previous approach was fine, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, Wang Fengyi, as the emperor's courtier, didn't want to fight directly with the monarch when he had a problem, but wanted to find him, the head of the crown prince.

But after all, I thought that after all, he was connected with his mother's in-laws in his family, and he didn't give face like this, so I was afraid that there would be someone on the queen's side who would instigate it, so I was in a hurry to come back and forth.

Now it seems that the attitude of the emperor's great-grandmother and queen mother in this matter is even tougher than herself, but she is too careful.

"What the hell is going on in this case, do you know the emperor's great-grandmother?" Although he was sure that there was no problem with his own approach, now that he had come, he still humbly asked for advice.

The Empress Dowager sighed and said: "The Shen family in Lingnan is a famous big salt merchant in the south, because they are distant cousins with Wang Fengyi's wife, and they can be regarded as having some edges with your mother.

"Your mother has mentioned this many times with Wang Fengyi and your father, just because after all, it is a family of merchants, and it is nothing more than doing some opportunistic things for some small profits, and there is nothing wrong with it, your father thinks that there is enough oil and water in the south, even if there is no other Zhao family and Li family now, there will be other Zhao family and Li family or something to stand up, and in the end, it is the people below who will suffer, so there is no in-depth investigation.

But the Shen family didn't know what to do, thinking that if the emperor didn't speak, he would really be a king in the south, and he became more and more evil.

"A few days ago, it was found out that the Shen family even did not hesitate to collude with the Dongyuan garrison in the south for personal gain, this is a big crime of treason, the crime is really implemented, and it is a full end of beheading.

At this time, Wang Fengyi realized how big a basket her distant cousin had stabbed herself, and then she thought about begging her father to tell her grandmother. Hum! What did you do earlier? ”

Listening to the Empress Dowager's story, the prince nodded slowly, bowed and said, "The child knows what to do." ”

He looked confident when he spoke.

The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction, her eyes full of pride.

Ah Zi originally saw that the prince had important matters to discuss with the empress dowager and the queen, and wanted to get up and retreat, but she was stopped by the queen and showed her that she didn't have to deliberately avoid suspicion.

Ah Zi answered, and stood aside respectfully and listened.

Although she doesn't know anything about this Western Dynasty and the Middle Kingdom, it can be seen that the prince is young, but he is calm and steady in his words and actions, and he is neither humble nor arrogant when dealing with the empress dowager, and a sense of awe rises in his heart.

Now that he has just turned ten years old, he already has such the ability to act, if he has more experience in the future, has more experience in dealing with the world, and really ascends the throne as the king of a country as a consequence, he will definitely be able to govern a peaceful and prosperous world, right?

Just thinking about it, the crown prince had already gotten up and was about to say goodbye while chatting and laughing with the empress dowager and the empress.

"Haven't you had time for lunch yet? Just stay here and eat with me and your mother. "The Empress Dowager will keep him.

"The child also wants to accompany you and the queen mother more, but there is a practice of riding and archery in the afternoon, and it looks like I am going to be late, so I can't delay, and when I rest another day, the child must be in this Sacred Heart Palace, at that time you just want to drive me away, and I won't leave."

As he spoke, the prince had gone out of the palace.

Although the Empress Dowager was reluctant on her face, she also knew that the prince should focus on schoolwork at this age, and it was rare for him to have this heart, so it was naturally difficult to stay, so she smiled and went with him. (To be continued.) )

PS: I'm really sorry, the lab is delayed again, and I didn't eat until eight o'clock, and the update was late. Post a change first, it will be before twelve o'clock two watches, it may be a little late, forgive me~gt; _lt; ~
