Xue Yuan nodded casually, Jiang You cheered, and went back with a jump, and when he arrived in the school, it was almost time for the class to start, and Li Chengzhong, the Taifu of Li, was already sitting in the hall, with a ring ruler in his hand.

Seeing this, Jiang You shrunk her neck and sat down lightly, she was still thinking about the afternoon vacation in her heart, so she looked out the window from time to time, looking forward to Xue Yuan coming over, Li Chengzhong saw her looking out from time to time, coughed unhappily, and raised his voice: "Your Highness!" He pointed to the book in his hand: "Can you explain to me what the phrase 'make the chicken run the night, and make the raccoon hold the mouse, all use their energy, and the upper is nothing'?" ”

Jiang You was afraid that he would complain to the emperor, so he hurriedly returned to his senses and said solemnly: "This sentence means that people should be content with their own work duties, and let everyone below give full play to their own strengths, and the monarch will be able to rule by doing nothing." ”

Li Xiangzhong stroked his long beard and asked noncommittally, "Where did this come from?" ”

Jiang You replied fluently: "From "Han Feizi. Yang Quan. "She has always been good at martial arts and not good at writing, but she was watched by several Taifu and people in Zhan Shifu in turn, and she didn't fall behind in her homework.

Li Xiangzhong nodded, he had always known that this child was smart, but his temperament couldn't settle down, and he had to sneak out from time to time to stretch her tendons, he was about to send a message to let her sit down, but a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, and he coughed and asked: "People have to perform their own duties, the so-called not in their positions, not in their politics, this is the truth, especially officials, let alone meddle in other people's duties, otherwise it is overstepping, do you say?" ”

Seeing Jiang You nodding, he suddenly changed his words: "The old minister thinks that Dongchang often stretches out his hand to do the errands that other officials want to do, interfere in the government affairs, and do whatever he wants, especially Xue Yuan, do you think he should be punished?" ”

Xue Yuan had already crossed the Qilin Gate and entered the Spring Fang at this time, in fact, he could not have agreed to this matter, but seeing Jiang You's pitiful face, he thought about selling her personal favor, so he finished his work and walked over, but he didn't expect that before he arrived at the main courtyard, he heard Li Xiangzhong ask about himself.

Sun Henian, the eunuch of Bingbi who followed behind him, laughed in a low voice: "Overseer, these sons are sour, and they can't fight you in the court, so they are here to force the prince to speak ill of you." ”

As soon as he raised his voice, he was about to speak, but Xue Yuan raised his hand to stop, and chuckled: "He is forcing the prince to make a statement, the purpose of our Dongchang is to check and balance this group of civil officials, and now the emperor is in the middle of the Dongchang and the civil officials all day long, Li Xiangzhong, this old thing, naturally does not dare to force the emperor to speak, but now it is a good thing to force the prince to express his position." ”

Ever since he walked in, no one dared to stop him, so he simply carried the troll up the steps and listened to the corner of the wall openly.

Jiang You was a little stunned when she was asked, she still had to rely on Xue Yuan to help ask for leave, of course she was not happy to say bad things about him behind her back, so she could only say vaguely: "This amount, talking about others behind your back is not a gentleman's doing, and I don't want to comment casually" She felt that it was a bit perfunctory to say this, so she defended Xue Yuan: "But Xue Zhangyin also saved my life when he rebelled against the king a few days ago, it should be a good person." ”

Xue Yuan smiled silently, this is a new thing, some people scolded him for being a traitor and a thief, and some people praised him for being a good person, saying that he was a good person or the first time.

Li Xiangzhong, who was inside, was furious when he heard this, and said with a stunned face: "That's just his duty, does His Highness want to ignore the world's major affairs for the sake of personal kindness?" He lectured a few words, and then changed his tone and said: "Since His Highness thinks that it is not a gentleman's work to talk about others behind his back, then let's talk about the matter of this Dongchang meddling in the duties of other officials without authorization, do you think it is right or wrong?" ”

Xue Yuan is the master of the East Factory, what is the difference between saying the East Factory and saying him, Jiang You was stunned, Zhang Dongzheng, who was reading next to him, desperately made a gesture with the mud, she paused, coughed and said: "This father said that everything must have real evidence, and without evidence, I can't make a rash assertion, so as not to wronged the wrong good person." ”

Li Xiangzhong didn't expect the emperor to make peace with the mud, and she, who is a daughter, is not too reckless, but she really deserves to be a father and daughter, he was so angry that he stiffened his neck, and he was still asking questions, the people from the Prince Zhan Mansion had already come over and knocked on the jade chime, announcing that it was time to get out of school.

Jiang You didn't give him a chance to ask, and after the farewell salute, he ran out with a cigarette, but he collided directly with Xue Yuan, who was about to come in, she took a few steps back with an 'oops', and when she looked up, she was surprised: "Palm print, you are here!" ”

Xue Yuan said with a smile: "Didn't you ask the minister to come over?" He bowed his head and said, "Chen, I'll help you get a fake." ”

Jiang You was so excited that he couldn't even speak, just nodded again and again, and watched him walk in, and saw Li Xiangzhong with an angry face at a glance, and then Xue Yuan said a few words lightly, Li Xiangzhong snorted angrily, and finally weighed it for a moment, and still responded helplessly.

Jiang You cheered, raised his hand and ordered the people around him to pack his schoolbag, turned around and leaned in front of Xue Yuan, and praised again and again: "The palm print is really capable, and I got the fake at once." ”

Xue Yuan bowed his head slightly: "The minister doesn't have much ability, but he just talked a few words to Mrs. Li." He turned his head to look at Jiang You's face full of joy, and asked coldly, "What does Your Highness think the minister is?" ”

It is said that Dongchang's reputation in the palace and outside the palace is not very good, but Jiang You didn't think that Xue Yuan was wrong, she thought about it, and continued to pretend to be stupid: "You are elegant and profound, personable, and have a good appearance and demeanor." People ask about character, but she answers about appearance. She said and couldn't help but raise her eyes and look at Xue Yuan: "If you want me to say, you are the flower of the East Factory, how can you be called the factory father, it should be the flower of the factory." ”

Xue Yuan was stunned for a moment when she said that she was full of camels, and quickly came back to her senses and smiled: "Where is it, it is far worse than your pearl and jade." ”

Jiang Youte, who said this, glanced at him resentfully, pinched the soft flesh on his cheeks, and said, "I've gained a little weight recently, but my chin is still sharp, where is it round?" You see, I'm not pointy. As he spoke, he really raised his face to let him see.

Xue Yuan didn't take a closer look, but just pretended to look at it seriously: "It's not big to see." ”

Jiang You hung his head in frustration, waved his hand and said, "Thank you today." ”

Xue Yuan smiled silently, he wanted more than one word of thanks, this thing is favor, it is easy to use it, but I am afraid that it will be troublesome when I pay it back.

The East Palace is not far away, the two of them walked side by side for a while, and saw the palace gate from afar, she was about to say goodbye to Xue Yuan, and suddenly heard a commotion in the palace, first a slightly old woman's voice came: "Aunt Yin, you have been in the palace for many years, according to the saying that there should be some square inches in doing things, the food made by the palace himself, and sent it to the prince while it was hot, you have to test the poison first, will the palace still harm the prince, so toss and toss, in case it is cold, who will take care of it?" ”

Concubine Zhuang's voice was gentle and gentle, as if it was an inquiring tone, but it was difficult to hide the malice in it.

Jiang You's head was big when he heard this voice, it was Concubine Zhuang who had bothered her for a long time, she was ten years old when Empress Zhang died, and she remembered her mother's voice and smile clearly, where could she stand this Concubine Zhuang rushing to be her mother.

Xue Yuan stood at the door of the hall, and also raised the corners of his mouth with interest, the emperor has been busy taking care of the Zhao family these days, and he didn't care about this concubine, but he didn't expect her to give up on this matter.

Jiang You said in a sullen voice outside: "What does Zhuang Niangniang think? Did she think that I, the prince of the main palace, would run away to be a child for her concubine? ”

Xue Yuan raised his lips: "You are the only daughter of the emperor, the emperor is naturally reluctant to let you be wronged, if you want to follow which concubine, the emperor will definitely raise that concubine to the back seat, and it is understandable for Concubine Zhuang to think so." He didn't bother to pay attention to these trivial matters in the East Palace, so he took his leave: "The minister has retired." ”

Jiang You snorted coldly and nodded at him.

At this time, another voice came from the palace door, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The mother has been raised, and the slave and maid naturally can't afford it, and the slave and maid also know the mother's thoughts about the prince, but the rules are the rules. ”

Concubine Zhuang laughed: "This is the rule of many years ago, you don't have to carry this to press me, the rule is that the dead are alive, is the prince thirsty and hungry, and he still clung to this rule, and he can't give her food?" ”

Jiang You heard this, frowned and walked in: "We have our own food in the East Palace, don't bother with the village, don't worry about it, Niangniang, no matter how thirsty and hungry I am, I won't ask you for food." ”

As soon as she came in, she saw Xiangyin kneeling on the ground, so as soon as she opened her mouth, Concubine Zhuang was stunned, and only after a while did she say sadly: "The prince's words are a little hurtful, I myself have some shares every month, and I have saved most of them for you, you really say this" She said with a motherly and heartfelt look that was trampled, which made Jiang You look like an unfilial daughter.

Jiang You motioned for the incense to be sealed, and when he saw that her knees were trembling, his heart was even more angry, and he choked her bluntly: "How generous are you, it turns out that I also remember Men'er Qing, since you feel that you have lost, then I will let people calculate how many things you have sent to the East Palace these days, and I will pay you double the compensation." ”

Xiangyin is the palace maid pointed out to her by Queen Zhang, and she took care of her when she was a child, Jiang You was not a good temper in the first place, and when she saw her being punished and kneeling, she was even more immoral.

Xiangyin has been openly and secretly blocking Concubine Zhuang from getting close to Jiang You these days, she wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to attack and rectify Xiangyin, but she happened to be seen by Jiang You, and she was shocked, but she still had a motherly look: "I treat you as my daughter-in-law, and I think about you everywhere, but today I just saw that this slave was not thoughtful, and I was afraid that they would deceive you when you were young and ignorant, so I said a few more words." ”

When Jiang You heard this, he looked at her in confusion.
