Old Madam Zhang said angrily: "There are no rules, didn't I let you step back first?!" Where did you learn these chicken and dog bits and pieces of business, and you are still eavesdropping behind people's backs, thinking that I can't do anything about you when the second child is not at home?! ”

Zhang Tingyue was also full of displeasure: "Second daughter-in-law, you are from everyone's background, and you should know the truth of not listening to indecent people, how can you do such an unruly thing?" ”

The person who came was the lady of the second room of the Zhang family, and she knelt on the ground with a face full of grievances: "The daughter-in-law's family sent some Xinyang hair tips over, and the daughter-in-law thought about hello, so she was ready to send it to you, and she listened to it a few times without paying attention, and she didn't mean to eavesdrop." ”

She took a few steps forward, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Mother, uncle, my daughter-in-law knows that you feel sorry for the queen and your highness, but think about it, if the uncle offends Xue Yuan this time, what will happen to your own grandchildren?" Now that he is in power, if he has any evil thoughts, the future of several children will be ruined! ”

Zhang Tingyue's expression froze, and he opened his mouth to refute: "In the woman's opinion, is it not possible for that son to fiddle with His Highness?" ”

Second Mrs. Zhang's face was full of grievances, but she didn't dare to talk back to the uncle, but Mrs. Zhang closed her eyes slightly at this time, but suddenly opened her eyes and said: "What the second daughter-in-law said also has some truth, we have to leave some leeway for the Zhang family." Zhang Tingyue was in a hurry, and was about to speak, when he saw her waving her hand, and her eyes suddenly became fierce: "If you don't go, I'll go." ”

She straightened her back and stood up: "As the prince of Zhenguo, it is not good for you to enter the palace at will, I am a woman and an ancestor, and I go to visit my sick granddaughter, can he still stop him?" ”

Xue Yuan sat at the top of the lobby, pressed the floating tea foam with the lid of the bowl, and took a sip gently, there was a small fire person who had just entered the palace standing in the lobby, and there were even a few delicate-looking palace maids at the back, these children were thirteen or fourteen water, looking at him with fearful or flattering eyes, who didn't know that this was a person who stomped his feet casually, and the Great Qi Dynasty was going to tremble, if he looked down on it, it was really a great blessing.

Xue Yuan glanced over, frowned at Sun Henian on the side, and said, "That's all, nothing else?" ”

Sun Henian said with a bitter face: "Back to the Governor's words, that's all for the people who came in this year, and the rest are some crooked melons and cracked dates, I'm afraid it will stain your eyes." ”

Xue Yuan originally didn't like this kind of half-grown child, and felt that it was noisy and difficult to adjust. Teach, but a few days ago, I saw Jiang You clever, so I also wanted to bring one with me, and I was amused and bored, but unfortunately I saw that several groups of people were not satisfied, they all lacked some agility, and their appearance was not beautiful enough to the eye.

Sun Henian leaned forward, and said with a somewhat ambiguous smile: "Overseer, these palace daughters all came in this year, the most top-notch and the most docile ones, you can see if you like it, if you fancy which, you might as well take it back to the house." ”

Xue Yuan put down the teacup, rolled up his sleeves and said nothing, Sun Henian knew at a glance that it was not possible today, so he waved his hand to drive people down like a sheep, and was about to say a few more words, when he heard someone report outside the eaves: "Overseer, the old lady of the Zhang family wore a full banner of edicts, saying that she was going to enter the palace to ask to see the prince." ”

Xue Yuan moved his eyelashes and said slowly: "Let her go, just say that I am appropriated." ”

Sun Henian was taken aback: "Overseer, you, are you ready?" ”

He looked back at the portrait of the Dongchang factory on the wall, and suddenly changed his tone and said, "How is King Ning there?" ”

Sun Henian's face changed, and he said in a low voice: "That's not a simple one, I have been blocked from seeing you several times, and now I have found another way." ”

Xue Yuan looked at the portrait with his hand: "He only did two things, the first one was to fabricate rumors, saying that His Royal Highness was not from the main palace, not from Empress Zhang, and not even the biological daughter of Xiaozong, and the second was to invite 'Xiangrui', I heard that a hundred-year-old turtle was fished out of the river outside Beijing, and it was engraved with the four words Kui Ze in the world, and there was a word 'Kui' in his name, which clearly said that he was the emperor's life?" ”

He turned his head to look at the plum blossoms sticking out of the courtyard wall: "Fighting snakes and hitting seven inches, this King Ning is so powerful, the first incident proves that His Royal Highness's bloodline is not correct, and he is not worthy of being the emperor, and then the second thing indicates that he is the true son of destiny, these two things come together, and they suddenly seize the door of life." ”

Sun Henian's eyes widened, and he lowered his head and thought about it: "Governor, since you want to use the emperor as a pretense so that you can take power yourself, then King Ning is our number one opponent, let" He made a neck-pulling gesture: "Do you want to strike first?" ”

Xue Yuan raised his lips: "What's the hurry, isn't it the Zhang family taking the lead, if Jiang You really goes wrong, the first thing to bear the brunt of it is Uncle Guo's family, don't you see that this old lady Zhang is in a hurry to enter the palace first, let them try the depth of the water first, and then we will clean it up." ”

Sun Henian sighed: "Or are you smart, then let's not do anything now, just wait for both sides to make a move?" ”

Xue Yuan walked out of the room, his thin white fingers stroked a plum blossom stretched into the hollow window, and smiled meaninglessly: "Take this flower and send it to Your Highness, girls always like flowers." ”

Jiang You looked at the dignified old woman in front of him in astonishment, and then threw himself into her arms and shouted, "Grandmother"

Old Madam Zhang's eyes were also red, but she still took a few steps back according to the rules, bent down and saluted, "Your Highness." ”

Jiang You helped her up, turned her head and saw Zhang Donglan following her, and couldn't help but be even more surprised: "Cousin Donglan, why did you come in too?" ”

Zhang Donglan scratched his head and smiled: "Dad said that the emperor is in a big business, and there are ministers who are in trouble, so let me follow you into the palace to untie you." In fact, he came to see Jiang You by himself, the two of them are not a few months apart, and they have played since childhood, and their affection is deeper than that of several brothers and sisters in the family.

He stepped forward to take a closer look, and then took her hand and looked around: "You have lost a lot of weight, and people are not energetic anymore, have you eaten well recently?" She was originally similar to Zhang Donglan, but now that the baby fat on both sides has retreated, it looks more like it, it is really like a brother and sister of a mother's compatriots, Zhang Donglan was about to be surprised, and was patted by Mrs. Zhang: "There are no rules, don't salute quickly!" ”

Zhang Donglan bowed and saluted, Mrs. Zhang took a few steps forward, as if she wanted to hold her hand, but she couldn't hold back, she couldn't care about greetings in this situation, she took a deep breath and raised her eyes to look at Jiang You: "Your Highness, now Xue Changgong really has a big rebellious mind?" ”

Jiang You pursed his lips and nodded, looking a little dazed: "It's not just him, even the Seventh Emperor Uncle is gone, and many people are different." ”

Old Madam Zhang sighed and said, "Sure enough," she put one hand on Jiang You's shoulder, "Your Highness, Dongzheng and his father and Master Li discussed it overnight yesterday, and the old man came into the palace to tell you, and now the top priority is to get rid of King Ning, he is plotting the throne, and he must have poisoned you." Xue Yuan's expression seemed to be a little difficult, but she still considered it and said, "The East Factory is powerful, you might as well take a false lead first, and it is the best policy to protect yourself." ”

Old Mrs. Zhang's heart couldn't help but feel sour, this child has been spoiled to such a big age, but now she has to bow to a slave, which is really difficult. She stroked Jiang You's sideburns again, and said softly: "Good Your Highness, with your uncle and a few Taifu here, you will definitely be able to keep you safe, don't be afraid." ”

Jiang You looked depressed, hung his head and said nothing, and suddenly hugged Mrs. Zhang's arm: "Grandmother, you sue me, what is the situation outside now?" ”

Old Madam Zhang was slightly speechless, now the hundred officials in the court know that Jiang You is grounded, but because of Xue Yuan's prestige, no one dares to speak out, and King Ning is known as the virtuous king, and he has two strange tricks in a row, as if everyone expects them, how can she tell Jiang You?

Jiang You saw that her face was embarrassed, and he suddenly walked around the house a few times, turned his head and said, "Grandmother, I have a way, but I don't know if it can be done, I want to meet my uncle." ”

Old Madam Zhang was taken aback: "Does Your Highness have a way to deal with King Ning?" Seeing that Jiang You wanted to stop talking, he didn't ask any more, but said, "How are you going to get out of the palace?" ”

Jiang You didn't say anything, turned his head and looked Zhang Donglan up and down

After about half an hour, the door of the dormitory squeaked open, and Mrs. Zhang walked out with a dragon head cane, wiped her tears with a silk with one hand, and said to the inner room: "You are not in good health, you will raise it first, you don't need to send it." ”

There was a vague answer from the house, Mrs. Zhang nodded, and walked down the steps with 'Zhang Donglan', and the newly replaced father-in-law came up to hug her, and said with a smile: "Old lady, the road is slippery in the snow, you go slowly." ”

He turned his head to look at 'Zhang Donglan' again, his gaze was fixed for a while, and Jiang You, who was dressed as Zhang Donglan, was beating wildly, and then he looked away, and said with a little surprise: "The second son of Zhang is really similar to His Royal Highness, it is really carved out of a mold, and it looks like a brother and sister." He said and slapped himself again: "Look at the minion's mouth, full of nonsense, it really deserves to be beaten." ”

Old Madam Zhang's face remained unchanged, and she said lightly: "These two children are like urinating, otherwise Donglan is a concubine, and Queen Zhang will not be promoted unusually." ”

He nodded again and again: "What you said, what you said is." ”

The group slowly walked out of the East Palace Gate, and as soon as Jiang You breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he saw a slender figure enter the middle road, followed by a few people who promised to accept it.

The newly replaced eunuch let out an 'oops', and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The overseer is here!" ”

Mrs. Zhang's hand holding the dragon's head cane paused, and she felt that Jiang You's hand in her hand was also sweating, but it was too eye-catching to dodge at this time, so she could only step forward slowly and said lightly: "Factory father." ”

Xue Yuan bowed his hand slightly: "Mrs. Zhang." His eyes wandered, and he fell straight on Jiang You, and there seemed to be some waves in his eyes, and then he calmed down again, hooked the corners of his lips and said, "I didn't expect that Zhang Ergongzi actually came." ”
