The Son of Heaven is selfless, and the movement of the harem usually becomes the direction of the temple.

Coupled with the difference between men and women, the emperor's harem has become an absolute forbidden place for courtiers.

The courtiers don't say that they are in the same voice, even if it is difficult to inquire about the news, some people put their minds on their relatives.

This is also the reason why the first thing many new emperors do when they ascend the throne is to clean up their relatives.

The Cheng family is a serious scholar, so naturally they will not go down the path of their relatives. But his hand has already reached the palace, but it is not so easy to know the movements of the six palaces of the east and west.

Now that he has the Chang family, he quickly got the news about the niece of the fourth princess.

"The little girl is only eight or nine years old?" Cheng Chi sat in Cheng Shao's study, drinking the tea made by Chang's own hands, and talking to Chang and Cheng Shao with a solemn face, "Do you know what kind of background it is?" ”

The daughters of the families of officials of the fifth rank or above in this dynasty shall not be selected as the daughter-in-law of the royal family.

"My father is a treasurer from the ninth grade." After all, I stayed in the Qianqing Palace, and I can get through as soon as I ask. Chang said, "Five generations are in the same house, and my mother is a famous Quanfu person in the capital." He has four older brothers and two younger sisters. ”

Quanfu, Yi Nan.

Such a family, the royal family is the favorite.

In other words, this girl is ready for the imperial grandson.

"It's a shame that he was able to find such a family." Cheng Chi pursed his lips.

Chang couldn't help but say: "The fourth prince is only afraid that he will not be willing, the fourth master should be careful." ”

It's best not to get afoul of them, and not to get too close.

Cheng Chi felt that his new aunt was a person who could carry it clearly. After thinking about it, he said: "Now that I am one of the masters of the imperial grandson, and the imperial grandson also gave me Yongye Tian, even if I don't want to offend the four princes, if the four princes succeed, who knows what he will think?" Now I can only deal with him to the end. ”

Chang Shi was silent for a few breaths, and said with a wry smile: "Song Ge is like this, I don't know if he helped you or hurt you?" ”

Cheng Chi felt that since the Chang family could sense the ambition of the four princes, it was impossible for Song Jingran, a self-made grassroots pavilion elder, not to know it at all.

He couldn't help laughing and said, "Maybe he thinks he has avoided the storm for a while, in case I am down." As long as he still has a place in the temple. You can pull me back ......."

If it weren't for Zhou Shaojin's warning, he would have thought so.

will even be glad that Song Jingran is going home at this time.

But with Zhou Shaojin's previous life, the safety of the Cheng family comes from the royal family itself, and it is no longer something that Song Jingran can control.

The Cheng family can only figure out their own way.

Cheng Chi made up his mind. Then I went to see Shi Kuan.

Or maybe the four princes are leaving Beijing. There are a lot of trivia. Shi Kuan looked a little tired.

The two met at the tavern, cut a few side dishes, and asked for a pot of wine.

Cheng Chi was drinking wine. While listening to Shi Kuan's words: "...... The four princes are gone, even if they go back to Beijing to congratulate them, there are a few of them. The pear blossom wood furniture in the main house is loved by the princess, the hundreds of green calyx planted in the back garden are loved by the four princes, as well as the Xifu Begonia in the East Warm Pavilion, the century-old osmanthus in the West Cross Courtyard, and the pair of peacocks in Biyixuan, all of which must not be cleaned up before July and a half. The fourth prince invited Master Xiong to say in front of the imperial grandson, so that we could move everything. When the time comes, I will ask Master Cheng to help me say a few kind words on the side. ”

It sounds like a gesture.

But the emperor has already refuted the matter, how can ordinary people dare to touch the scales again?

Cheng Chi readily agreed: "...... When the time comes, it will be the fourth prince to say the item. ”

A trace of confusion flashed in Shi Kuan's eyes, but seeing Cheng Chi's calm expression, he couldn't help suppressing this confusion in his heart, and the two talked about some matters related to the four princes.

Cheng Chi asked Cheng Chen: "Will he follow the four princes to the domain or stay in the capital?" ”

Shi Kuan chuckled in his heart and said with a smile: "He is famous, what are you doing with our four princes to the domain?" ”

Since Cheng Lu as Chen Li's son-in-law and the four princes of the relationship, the four princes have a good impression of him, the family banquet often called him over to live, he persuaded the four princes to grasp the opportunity, although the four princes did not say anything, but as a confidant, Shi Kuan could see that many of his words scratched the itch of the four princes, the four princes were vassal, Cheng Ran once said that he would go to Xinyang with the four princes, the four princes did not say anything at the time, but when it came to the day of departure, he left Cheng Lu and encouraged him to take the test as soon as possible. It's so good that the four princes' feudal mansions are in the long history.

What does Cheng Chi mean when he asks?

Cheng Lu is the son of the Cheng family.

What's more, Cheng Chi's removal also has something to do with Cheng Chi's wife.

Shi Kuan smiled: "Master Cheng has any advice?" ”

"Not really." Cheng Chi smiled, "I'm just a little curious." ”

Shi Kuan couldn't ask anything, so he had to put the matter aside.

Cheng Chi smiled slightly, and when he returned home, he instructed Huaishan: "Send someone to keep an eye on Cheng Yan." ”

Huaishan was puzzled.

Cheng Chi sneered: "He's not the kind of person who keeps to himself. If the four princes have any plans, then he will be from the dragon's work. He wouldn't let himself lose that opportunity no matter what. We'll be able to get a little out of our eyes on him. ”

He remembered that Zhou Shaojin told him that in his previous life, the four princes ascended the throne by the emperor's decree, and if it was an overkill, there must be someone who contacted the Qianqing Palace.

He didn't know who it was in his previous life, but it could be Cheng Lu in this life.

Huaishan should "yes" and retreated.

Zhou Shaojin said worriedly: "What if this life is still the same person?" ”

Cheng Chi smiled: "How can we put all our hopes on Cheng Lu." After all, he was just a guest of the Four Princes. Staring at Cheng Lu is just a means of precaution - if I have made many arrangements in the capital in the past few years, if it arouses the suspicion of some people, I just take advantage of the matter of staring at Cheng Zhen to divert my attention a little. What is really to be watched is Chen Li of the Qianqing Palace. ”

He had already talked to Chang about this matter.

Chang had someone to help them deliver the news.

If Chen Li doesn't move, they won't move, as long as Chen Li is different. They'll get the news.

But whether the four princes were going to put that little girl in Cining Palace for plotting, or just a pawn to paralyze the emperor, Cheng Chi was not sure, so he could only make two preparations. He didn't want Zhou Shaojin to follow him and wait for this result with anxiety.

"How are you preparing to go to the temple to see the scriptures?" He duly changed the subject, "Have you decided where to go?" ”

"Prepare to go to Zhetan Temple." Zhou Shaojin said with a smile, "Everyone thinks it's boring to always go to Daxiangguo Temple." ”

Cheng Chi nodded with a smile and said, "I'll give you two hundred taels of silver as private money, you accompany your mother to Zhetan Temple to have a good time, and come back tomorrow." ”

"Okay!" It is rare for Cheng Chi to take the initiative to let her spend the night outside. Zhou Shaojin said with a smile. "I'll bring you something delicious when the time comes?"

Cheng Chi hurriedly said: "Don't buy things outside the temple indiscriminately, they are not clean." If you want to eat, you can eat what is in the temple. Especially Brother Yun, he can't let him eat the candy that he sells outside. You're just walking around the temple......"

Zhou Shaojin couldn't help nodding and smiled.

Wait until the sixth day of the sixth month of June. Cheng Sheng came over early. Later, the daughters of Peng Chengbo's family, Qiu's family, Xie's, and Cheng Xiao also arrived one after another. Only Chang's has not yet arrived when the agreed time has passed.

Zhou Shaojin was about to send someone to urge, but a small guy on the other side of Shuangyu Hutong ran over panting. said that there was a guest at home suddenly, and Chang's couldn't come.

It's a pity for everyone to let the little guy bring the words back, saying that when he comes back, he will bring Chang some Zhetan Temple vegetable cakes to her, so he got into the carriage and walked out of the alley.

The little guy ran back to report the news again.

Chang Shi rewarded the little guy with a handful of copper coins, and turned around and went back to the inner courtyard.

Cheng Chi, who was supposed to go to the court, was standing in Cheng Shao's study at this time, and when he saw Chang's family, he asked, "Are they all out of the city?" ”

His expression was extremely cold.

Chang nodded and hesitated: "Where is the second old lady?!" ”

"Don't worry." Cheng Chi said, "I have sent someone to follow the second uncle." Even if the second uncle was summoned by the emperor for questioning, he could deliver the news to Lord Han. It's you, auntie, let's find a place to hide! The four princes suddenly fell ill on the road, no one saw them, today is the day when the Xishan camp and the five cities soldiers and horses changed their defenses, after today, the four princes could not fish in troubled waters to adjust the defense, he wanted to do it, only today. There's going to be chaos in the city. Zhetan Temple is guarded by the guards of our Cheng family, even if it is a person from Shanxi Daying, it will not be able to take advantage of it for a while, not to mention that today the Queen Mother will go to Baiyun Temple to listen to the Tao, even if the four princes want to coerce the emperor, they will go to Baiyun Temple, Zhetan Temple is the safest place. ”

"I know." Chang said calmly, "So I should stay at home." I promised my sister that if she failed, I would go back and forth with her. If she hadn't seen me, she would have thought we had deceived her. When you're gone, you'll go to her and wait for news. ”

"How can this work?" Cheng Chi frowned.

Chang interrupted Cheng Chi's words and said, "It's not too early, don't you still want to go to the Yamen?" You'd better go ahead! It's too late to say that. Without the Cheng family, there would be no me. I am willing to advance and retreat with the second master. The fourth master won't persuade me. If Zhou knew what you had in mind, she would definitely not have left the capital. Isn't that why you're hiding it from her? ”

Cheng Chi didn't say anything anymore, waved his hand at Chang and said "take care", and left Shuangyu Hutong through the back door.

Chang glanced at the quiet study, and turned around and left Shuangyu Hutong.

In the Qianqing Palace, after the emperor went down to court, he felt as if there was something in his heart.

After approving the performance, his mood still couldn't calm down, and he asked Chen Li: "What about the imperial grandson?" ”

Chen Li bowed down and replied respectfully: "Read with Master Xiong in the upper study!" ”

The emperor asked: "The fourth prince asked Master Xiong to ask the imperial grandson, how did the imperial grandson answer?" ”

Chen Li's body hid lower, and said, "The imperial grandson said that this matter has to be decided by you." ”

The emperor felt even more annoyed in his heart, he put the recital aside, and said, "I went and invited Master Cheng to come and let him play two games of chess with me." ”

Today, Cheng Shao is on duty at the Hanlin Academy.

Chen Li promised.

The little inner servant with his own sensitivity ran towards the Hanlin Courtyard like a fly.
