Next, Xiao Hongcheng really stood still, and the entire court, starting from the crown prince, to the ministers, and even the ministers outside, almost stretched their necks and waited for the emperor to do something.

Examine? Or don't check?

What is the emperor's heart for the crown prince?

There are many people who care, and there are many people who can figure out this joint, and I don't know how many people are discussing it in private and watching the movements of the father and son.

The emperor just sneered.

When the rumors pointing to the crown prince intensified, the emperor recovered from his illness and remained in the court, but there was no movement and no order was given to investigate Xiangrui thoroughly.

Xiao Hongcheng was disappointed.

He waited for seven days, and the emperor only sent people to the local area to investigate how this auspicious rui was discovered, and nothing else.

But the emperor continued to summon him to discuss matters, and he was taught about military affairs, and he was as careful and patient as before, and did not refuse to see him as he had just heard the news, and even these days, he stayed with his father and emperor for a longer time, and when he talked about political affairs, he would even give him an analysis of the family history, personality, and style of the courtiers concerned, which was very detailed.

Why would the emperor make such a decision, why would he send this person, what would be the most likely result of sending this person to do this, what are the benefits, how to avoid the disadvantages, what kind of people should be used to balance and contain them, and so on.

Sometimes when it comes to harmony, Xiao Hongcheng's analysis makes him appreciate, and the emperor will smile and pat him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

Moreover, Xiao Hongcheng began to have the right to approve red, and the performance of the household department and the Ministry of Rites, unless it involves a senior member of the second rank or above and a nobleman of the first rank or above, the rest can be issued with the prince's golden seal.

And every time he deliberates, the emperor will leave him to eat, go a little early, it is necessary to appreciate the snacks, the discussion time is slightly longer, and he has to go to the tea, and he ate two meals for his father in vain, Xiao Hongcheng has no choice, and asked Zhou Baolu to pick something for his father, Zhou Baolu thought about it for a while, and did not choose any gold and silver antiques, only picked good medicinal materials, the tips of the fruits on the fruit trees in the East Palace, and the best flowers in the greenhouse, which are the same every day.

For a time, the filial piety of the father and the son can give people goosebumps.

The people who watched from the court were privately trying to figure out the holy will, and broke the emperor's actions and words to find clues, but no one could figure it out.

Some people say that the emperor loves the prince, no matter how powerful outsiders say, it is useless, if the emperor doubts the prince, will he hand over those important political affairs to the prince?

Some people also said: The emperor just suspected the prince, so he made such a move, wanting to cover up.

Xiao Hongcheng himself felt that he thought of his father and emperor too simply, and thought of the temptation of the Holy Intention too simply.

Regardless of his father's merits, only this imperial power technique is unfathomable, and Xiao Hongcheng found that he was too tender.

He discussed again and again with his important ministers and staff how to see the holy will, but now he felt more and more that his father had taken him with him like no one else, and he seemed to be much closer to him than before.

Xiao Hongcheng, who wanted to find out the holy will by checking rumors, and all the staff members were dumbfounded.

Xiao Hongcheng was convinced, lasted for ten days, and went home and said to Zhou Baolu: "If you don't accept it, you can't do it, Jiang is still old and spicy!" ”

Zhou Baolu sneered and asked him, "What should I do then?" ”

Xiao Hongcheng was really shocked, but he has always been quite confident, and he always feels that he has insight into the world and knows people's hearts, but this son really has to sigh: his father is worthy of being the emperor, and he will be hung with a move.

Xiao Hongcheng thought for a long time: "If my father doesn't investigate, this matter is stiff, just calm down slowly, and the purpose of the people behind the scenes will be achieved, which is really unwilling." ”

Zhou Baolu was blessed to the soul this time, and said: "I think my father just wants to teach you the way to advance and retreat, you only knew how to advance and retreat before, and you have to move forward no matter what, but the things in this world, even the father, occasionally have to give in." ”

That's right!

It's really a bystander.

"But." Xiao Hongcheng said obsessively: "My father can't damage my reputation, this matter is over, and everyone in private says that I just sat on the crown prince for a while, and I coveted the throne and wanted to replace my father, how wronged am I?" ”

Zhou Baolu sat cross-legged on the kang, picked up a semi-finished white silk silver pattern shirt and compared the size on Xiao Hongcheng: "How important is it that you do what your father wants?" You are the son of his old man and the prince, and his old man doesn't love you more than others? Not better than a courtier? Can your father look at you and call people attacked? Come, stretch out your hand, I'm more suitable than not. ”

Xiao Hongcheng stretched out his hand, let her gesture, and said: "Look at what you are doing, if you don't have that ability, you can do it for others, there are crafts in the palace, and so many people in the Shanggong Bureau are placed there, and I don't expect to wear what you made with your own hands - I don't want to let my father go, but I'm in a hurry, my father doesn't move, and I don't know what Lu Dao's plan is. ”

At this time, he really dispelled the intention of testing his father, and he just wished that his father would check it out quickly!

Zhou Baolu finished the gesture and glanced at him: "I am kind enough to make clothes for you, but you still dislike it!" Hmph, I don't care, I'm done, you have to wear it no matter what! - I mean, don't worry, my father doesn't have any other arrangements? You tried to force your father again, and annoyed your father to have your good fruit to eat! ”

The two of them were talking, the court and political situation were mixing clothes, needlework, and even supper for dinner, Zhou Baolu sent someone to pass the dinner: "The prince is on fire, ask the kitchen to serve the light things on fire, and then fry a bowl of bitter artemisia water for the prince." ”

Xiao Hongcheng really couldn't cry or laugh.

Then Xiao Hongcheng said very reluctantly: "Okay, I'll bear with it again, I'm really holding my breath!" ”

Zhou Baolu looked down on his idea: "What do you have to hold your breath, I was just getting married and was talked about outside, so ugly, I didn't jump in front of you and shout annoyance, you are still a man!" It's not as good as me. ”

Xiao Hongcheng was annoyed and ashamed, and pounced on Zhou Baolu with a fit and pressed her under to clean her up, Zhou Baolu refused to admit defeat, opened his mouth to bite him, but was bitten by him on the neck, Zhou Baolu smiled and hid while pushing him: "Don't eat people, get up quickly." ”

Xiao Hongcheng pressed on her, soft and comfortable, she didn't want to move at all, but put her head on her head and neck, and the pressure was real, Zhou Baolu had to be coquettish: "Okay, I won't talk about you in the future, let me go, let people see what it looks like, in broad daylight...... Hurry up, good. ”

Xiao Hongcheng was finally willing to sit up with compassion, and by the way, he also held her in his arms.

Zhou Baolu is right, he has indeed never known how to advance but not retreat, since he was a child, he felt that there was no solid backing behind him, and he would not fall into trouble if he was indomitable and overpowered everyone.

At any time, in everything, he only knows how to move forward, not backward. must be stronger than everyone else and have the upper hand in everything, Xiao Hongcheng is willing to be willing.

Too rigid and easy to break, Zhou Baolu only vaguely felt it before, but now she feels that there is nothing wrong with letting her father annoy Xiao Hongcheng's temperament.

Of course, seeing Xiao Hongcheng's lonely and unwilling appearance, Zhou Baolu was still distressed, she pulled Xiao Hongcheng's hand to play, Xiao Hongcheng has not been a hard-working person since he was a child, so riding and shooting is just for show, his hands have no calloon scars, it is really as delicate and beautiful as a jade carving.

Zhou Baolu felt that she still had to be nice to Xiao Hongcheng.

Xiao Hongcheng had words in his mouth for a long time, but he still couldn't help but say, "What if...... My father really doesn't want to investigate, I still have to find a way. ”

Zhou Baolu asked him: "You have so many staff and courtiers, you must have discussed it, and you must have a plan." ”

Xiao Hongcheng said: "It's okay for us to check this matter ourselves, but it's not as good as our father's investigation, so we discussed that it's best to let my father investigate this matter." ”

Zhou Baolu understood that he would investigate by himself and find out that others had framed him, which was always a little convincing and not so convincing, so he nodded and said: "Then how can I let my father investigate?" ”

Xiao Hongcheng said: "My father can be sick, and I can also be sick......"

Zhou Baolu frowned slightly, and before she could speak, Sakura ran into the door, didn't bother with the announcement, grabbed the door frame and took a breath, and said, "The prince, Niangniang, just ...... Commander Shen led the guards in and directly entered the Hengyu Palace. ”

Zhou Baolu was startled, looked back at Xiao Hongcheng, and saw that Xiao Hongcheng frowned slightly, so he knew that he didn't know Lu Dao in advance, so he asked Sakura: "When?" How long have you been in? Did any of them come out? ”

Sakura took a breath and replied: "The slave doesn't know very well, I'm feeding the birds over there, and there is a sister who ran by, just happened to know me, beckoned her to come over, and gave her melon seeds, she was busy and didn't eat melon seeds, but whispered to me a word or two, I heard that it was not long after I came in, and it was not half a pillar of incense to this time, and there was not much movement, only a dozen people were brought with me, and no one came out at this time, and I don't know what happened to Lu Dao, and even ...... Even the concubine Niangniang's side didn't know what to do. ”

What the hell is going on?

Zhou Baolu said to Sakura: "What are you going to inquire about, be careful, don't be too conspicuous." ”

Sakura hurriedly said 'yes', she is a clever person, and she is familiar with doing this kind of thing, Zhou Baolu is not too worried.

After Sakura received the order to go out, Zhou Baolu looked back at Xiao Hongcheng, Xiao Hongcheng said: "I saw Uncle Shen in the imperial study early this morning, and Uncle Shen didn't tell me a word. ”

However, Xiao Hongcheng doesn't care very much, although Shen Rongzhong loves him and often helps him and gives him people to do things, but in the end, Uncle Shen is the most trusted courtier of his father, and he is naturally the most loyal to his father, Shen Rongzhong must be a measured person.

Xiao Hongcheng has always understood this very well.

Uncle Shen is loyal to his father first, and then he is good to himself, which is not a contradiction.

Zhou Baolu muttered: "It's really weird, what does it matter to Concubine Xi to dispatch Uncle Shen?" ”

As soon as this sentence fell, Sakura, who had just gone out to inquire about the news, had already retreated, and this time, she had a frightened expression on her face: "Niangniang...... Commander Shen led people into the East Palace......"
