In the distance, seeing the emperor's sedan chair, the surrounding palace people all knelt down solemnly. The Emperor waved his hand lightly on it, signaling everyone to silence. The prince's clear voice came from the hall, and it was obvious that he was still discussing politics with the auxiliary ministers.

The emperor listened outside for a while, and then motioned for Chang Li to take someone to help him back.

Recently, the emperor said that he was sick and could not go to the court, and the crown prince was responsible for all major affairs in the court. The prince was in the court to see things, and some unfinished government affairs were discussed with the ministers in the Zhengde Palace.

At this moment, it is already afternoon, the prince is still busy, and it is obvious that the situation in Beijing is extremely grim now. The emperor sat and drank tea in the light rain pavilion of Ning Concubine Liu, and the fifth prince Xia Kang stood beside him uprightly and accepted his examination.

After answering the emperor's four or five questions in a row, Concubine Ning saw that the corners of the emperor's mouth were slightly upturned, and she knew that Xia Kang had passed the test. hurriedly stepped forward with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's rare for you to come, let Tiankang accompany you to play chess!" The master just praised him a few days ago! ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Kang'er's chess skills have actually improved? Then I need to learn it well! ”

When the fifth prince heard Concubine Ning's praise, his face turned red, and he said, "Erchen doesn't dare to be a mother!" A few days ago, the master said that Erchen had made a little progress, but Erchen didn't dare to show off in front of his father. ”

Summer Kang's eyebrows and eyes resemble those of his mother, Merriam-Webster. It is extremely delicate. The emperor looked at the young man with clear eyebrows in front of him, and remembered the good times he had spent with his mother, and he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. looked at the gentle and docile Ning Concubine on the side, and couldn't help but whisper: "Qihong, you did a good job!" ”

The child who can make the biological mother punished into the cold palace still maintain a childlike and peaceful mentality. Not an easy task. Concubine Ning Liu smiled slightly, and said softly: "It is an honor for concubines to be able to share your majesty's worries!" ”

The Emperor looked at her deeply. He looked at the fifth prince Tiankang with a scrutinizing gaze, and sat down opposite Tiankang: "Come, come, let me see how your chess skills are!" ”

Tiankang sat opposite the emperor like a little adult, and played chess with the emperor one by one.

In the cold palace, Concubine Wei sat alone in the dilapidated courtyard. Listening to a palace man chattering on the side. That palace man is already old, and his figure is a little fat. The facial features are very bland, like the type that can't be found in the blink of an eye if you are lost in the crowd.

"Niangniang, don't worry! Liu Guiren did not dare to be unfavorable to the five princes. Her parents' net worth and lives are all in Wei Xiang's hands! Besides, there's Princess Tianxiang, who is much more capable now than you were at the moment. The crown princess a while ago. Something else, please! ”

I heard the palace people mention the crown princess. Concubine Wei lifted her spirit. Recently, my grandfather arranged something to start, and it was only a few days ago. If this matter succeeds, it will not be in vain for her to work hard in this cold palace until now. When she gets out of this place, she must get back all the humiliation she suffered before!

In the palace of the crown princess, the crown princess frowned tightly and looked at the fabric that Huixin showed her before. "Be sure to tell my father about it as soon as possible! Someone stretched their hand too far. She instructed Ruizhu.

Rui Zhu was a little strange and a little puzzled: "Your Highness, it's just a slightly better cloth than usual." What can it affect? ”

The crown princess frowned and said impatiently: "Since you are asked to do it." Just do it right away! What are you doing all the time? ”

Rui Zhu rarely saw the crown princess angry, but today she saw that the crown princess was so angry, and knew that the matter was big, so she quickly nodded and confessed, and hurriedly walked outside.

In the capital, Li Shangshu's Mansion near the East Gate was lit up all night. "Check, check it for me! I have to find out who is doing this

Do! ”

Knowing that someone actually put his hand into the palace, Li Shangshu was shocked. He has been busy helping the prince deal with political affairs recently, and he is a little negligent about his family's affairs. However, he is also fully aware of the importance and danger of this matter. Someone has already put his hand into the palace, which is clearly aimed at the crown prince and the crown princess.

His daughter has finally come to this point, and she must not fall short because of this trivial matter, which seems to be almost a trivial matter. The honor and disgrace of their Li family are all placed on this daughter. If their daughter really ascends to the back seat, then their entire Li family can go one step further and become the leader of the wealthy family. And if his daughter stops there, and the prince is replaced, then his previous efforts will become a joke!

He has been studying poetry and books for so many years, and he has worked hard to manage it, and he has carefully cultivated such an excellent daughter, and he must not be planted like this!

After sending out an absolutely reliable henchman, Li Shangshu thought of another possibility. He summoned his henchmen and instructed: "You go and inquire carefully, what has happened to Xijiang Hu Taishou recently?" Also, Admiral Jiumen, have you ever been in contact with the prince? As soon as there is news, reply to me immediately! When the henchmen heard this, they immediately went forward.

The possibility of the crown prince succeeding to the throne now seems to be a foregone conclusion. As long as he survives this hurdle, the prince will definitely become the Ninety-Five Supreme. It's just that the prince is extremely fond of the side concubine Hu. He also had to guard against another possibility, that is, whether the Hu family would also be like them, eyeing the back position. You must know that his daughter is only a princess at the moment. When he is not becoming queen, he must always be vigilant.

In case the Hu family is pampered and arrogant, and plays some tricks with the crown prince, so that the crown princess's status is unstable, then he must respond in time!

Perhaps, today's incident was just a deliberate poke out by the crown princess to make them sad, and her intention was to threaten the crown princess and imply that the crown princess was incompetent.

Thinking of this possibility, Li Shangshu immediately thought of inquiring about the situation of the Hu family.

And at this moment, unlike the Li family, where chickens fly and dogs dance, Master Hu is crooked next to the concubine in the thirteenth room, enjoying the singing and dancing in the house heartlessly.

After dealing with a day's official business, Master Hu is the most relaxed only at this time. Therefore, he almost never asks about trivial matters in the house, but only cares about himself and his concubine. Of course, Mrs. Hu Wang also knows the temper of the master, so within two hours after going down every day, she tries her best to give Master Hu free space.

"Is there any news of Huixin lately?" After getting a full rest of his body and mind, Mr. Hu finally began to care about the situation of everyone in the family.

Huixin is his only daughter, and naturally he is also the most distressed child. After entering the palace, Master Hu had to ask Mrs. Hu and Huixin about her situation every once in a while. (To be continued.) )
