Beside the queen, Yuan Chun saw Jia Baoyu showing an exaggerated smile to him, couldn't help but laugh, and then covered his mouth with Xiupa.

However, her actions were still noticed by the queen, she glanced at Yuan Chun, and said quietly: "You have a good brother......

Yuan Chun bowed slightly: "It's the concubine who has lost her honor." ”

The Queen shook her head.

A concubine next to her answered with a smile: "Sister Yuanfei has such a good relationship with his younger brother, it's really enviable. ”

She looks amiable, with a light and elegant complexion, although she is also a beauty, but compared to the queen and Yuan Chun, she is still much inferior.

"Hehe, Sister Yuanfei, this younger brother, people have fallen into the eyes of the Emperor Taishang and his old man, and in the palace in the future, I am afraid that the queen will have to look at the face of the Emperor Taishang, and let three more points for the two sisters and brothers of the Yuan Concubine. Shufei, you said that at this time, Sister Yuanfei can be unhappy in her heart, can she not laugh, giggles. ”

It was Wu Qingluo who spoke, named Concubine Wu, that is, Wu Fan's sister.

looks like he is in his twenties, and he is extremely beautiful, which is not much better than Yuanchun and the queen, and even the peerless enchanting and seductive style on his body is incomparable.

Although she spoke as a sister, she seemed to have a lot of respect for Yuan Chun, but when she listened carefully, it was a blatant provocation.

Yuan Chun's eyes froze, but she didn't pay attention to it, she didn't want to argue with it.

The queen glanced at Wu Qingluo lightly and said, "Concubine Wu, do you know that today your younger brother and Concubine Yuan's younger brother made a bet in front of the Tinglan Water Pavilion, and won or lost with literature......

When Concubine Wu heard this, her face was slightly stunned, and she immediately reacted, based on Jia Baoyu's performance just now, how could her younger brother be an opponent, so she smiled and said, "Oh? I didn't know about it, I think it was my unproductive brother who couldn't help himself, and he was bored. However, it's not a shame to lose to a young talent who is praised even by the emperor, giggles. ”

Concubine Wu didn't seem to care very much. Although Ye Qiong took the initiative to mention the poems written by Jia Baoyu before Tinglan Water Pavilion, she did not talk about the matter between Jia Baoyu and Wu Fan, so she didn't know.

Moreover, listening to the tone of her voice, she didn't seem to have much respect for the queen, at least not a sense of caution......

The queen continued: "It's really not a shame, with Jing Hao here, with good words and persuasion, I finally didn't let your brother kowtow to make amends, just need to meet and detour in the future." ”

The smile on Concubine Wu's face had not yet dissipated, and she suddenly stayed on her face, her mouth slightly open.

Next to him, Concubine Shu and Qian Guiren looked at it, and hurriedly put aside their faces, unable to bear to look at Concubine Wu's expression.

Yuan Chun looked at the queen's demure and indifferent demeanor, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, the queen's aura was still so strong, and two sentences made this flamboyant and annoying person shut up.

......

No matter what kind of feast, there is always a moment when the curtain will come to an end.

Jia Baoyu was at the door, waiting for Jia Zheng, Jia Yu, and Jia Zhen to come out, during which people kept congratulating and accosting him.

Jia Baoyu responded politely one by one.

"Let's go."

Jia Zheng finally walked out.

Jia Baoyu is out of the collection, and he is the one with the brightest face. There were at least a dozen people who personally congratulated him, so that the flush on his face never dissipated, but when he saw Jia Baoyu, he instantly retracted and said with a flat expression.

Jia Baoyu pouted, he didn't see Jia Zheng's appearance of planning and giving up his hands everywhere before, and this time he pretended to be upside down in front of him.

After leaving Xiyuan, Jia Zheng called Jia Baoyu to his sedan chair.

"What, the lord is saying that the eldest prince presented the famous painting "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" to the Emperor Taishang before, and then was accused on the spot of snatching it from someone else?"

In Jia Zheng's comfortable official sedan chair, Jia Baoyu looked surprised.

Jia Zheng nodded and said: "It was originally an excellent thing, after the Taishang Emperor's residence in Xiyuan, he gradually liked antique stationery, and the eldest prince also liked it, and searched for this famous painting from the people." Who knew that when the picture was presented, it was interrupted by a pair of brothers and sisters, they said that the picture was originally an heirloom of their family, but it was taken by the governor of Sichuan, and their father was killed, so the two traveled thousands of miles to Beijing and asked the emperor to make the decision for their brother and sister......"

When Jia Zheng talked about this, he was also embarrassed.

Jia Baoyu's face was even more incredulous, and said, "How could they appear in the main hall?" ”

What are you kidding, the Chongde Hall of Xiyuan, the place where the Emperor Taishang held a birthday banquet, and where can the common people sue the emperor?

"The two of them, one pretending to be a musician and the other pretending to be a dancer, sneaked in......"

Huh, sneak in? Anyway, Jia Baoyu doesn't believe it, if this matter is true, if there is no conspiracy and calculation in the middle, Jia Baoyu doesn't believe half a word.

Wait, in that case, you will be called into the main hall......

"Do you know, sir, why did the Emperor summon me into the palace?"

The brother and sister suddenly appeared, and said such a ridiculous thing at the banquet, and the Emperor Taishang's face immediately turned bad, but the Emperor Taishang did not punish the two of them, but only ordered someone to escort the two of them to the post house, and let the criminal department personally investigate the matter.

At this time, Master Ye came forward and read out the poem you made in the Tinglan Water Pavilion as the palace, and then played the Emperor Ming, saying that you are a rare young man in my dynasty, today's birthday banquet, why not invite you into the palace to compose a poem to congratulate? The Emperor did not refuse. ”

After listening to Jia Zheng's words, Jia Baoyu secretly said no wonder. No wonder he suddenly found himself to go in and make some birthday poems, no wonder the eunuch leader handed him a cheat sheet halfway, I am afraid that he was worried that his ink was limited, and not only could he not save the scene at that time, but it would make matters worse.

This Ye Qiong, this is using herself as a fire extinguisher!

Also, at his birthday banquet, the birthday gift given to him by his grandchildren was exposed on the spot and said that it was snatched from the people's homes, so where did the emperor put his face?

If one is not done well, I am afraid that many people will be unlucky......

"How is the eldest prince?" Jia Baoyu suddenly asked, although he had stayed at the banquet for a long time, he had not seen this eldest prince. It is estimated that they were either taken away, or they were cowered in their seats without showing their heads.

Jia Zhengdao: "The Emperor Taishang did not condemn the eldest prince, but only ordered someone to send the "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" to the Criminal Department. ”

Jia Baoyu nodded, this eldest prince is afraid that he is going to be sad. I didn't say anything about it, and I made a disaster. Once this matter is confirmed, it will feel sour for the eldest prince when he thinks about it.

Even if he embezzled people's property, he also gave the embezzled things to the emperor as a birthday gift, and he also caused a lot of death......

For the Emperor Taishang, who cherishes his name as a holy monarch very much, he is afraid that he will have the heart to kill him.

But these Jia Baoyu don't care, fortunately, his performance is not stubble, he should not be involved, then he can hang up without caring about himself, and let them fight.

......

Almost at the same time, Ye Qiong came out of the palace of the Emperor Taishang, and then recruited Ye Hao and Ye Zhenzhen back to the Taishi Mansion.

"Master, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has arrived and is waiting in the study."

As soon as I returned home, I listened to the old housekeeper like this. Ye Qiong's brows sank slightly, and then went to the study.

"Jing Hao, I've seen my grandfather!"

After Ye Qiong sat down, he looked at the second prince for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "You, confused!" ”

The second prince hurriedly bent down and bowed: "Please grandfather make it clear." ”

"What happened in the temple today, but you arranged it?"

"Why did my grandfather say that?"

The second prince looked puzzled.

"If it weren't for you, why would you be in such a hurry to come to me?

You are so bold that you dare to take advantage of the birthday banquet of the Emperor Taishang to make trouble, once something goes wrong, who do you think will be able to get the benefits? ”

Ye Qiong admonished in a deep voice.

The second prince hesitated for a long time and said: "However, this matter is not fabricated and slandered by others, the eldest brother colluded with local officials, formed a party for personal gain, and sought money and killed people, these are all facts." ”

"That's why I say you're confused."

Ye Qiong said bitterly: "The eldest prince does not cultivate his own body, he is greedy for money and lewdness, don't others know about this?" Now that you have the evidence of his guilt in your hands, what can you do, but you want to expose it at the birthday banquet of the Emperor Taishang, if it is found out in the future, do you think the Emperor will spare you? ”

The second prince said: "However, how many ridiculous things the eldest brother has done over the years, the court has never turned a blind eye, and I, as a member of the Great Xuan Imperial Family, really can't sit idly by and ignore this!" ”

The second prince's tone was sonorous and full of righteousness.

Ye Qiong was silent, and then asked, "Who made you do this?" ”

The second prince looked at Ye Qiong's face cautiously, hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully: "It's Han Zhilian, he said that only in this way can the eldest brother be truly punished." ”

"The son of Han Dezheng, the secretary of the Honglu Temple?"

"Yes."

"How many other people besides him know that this matter has anything to do with you?"

"There aren't many people, but they're the closest people around me...... And my grandfather can rest assured, I didn't come forward in this matter, it was all arranged by Qian Zhao, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and I just handed it over to him and didn't interfere. ”

Ye Qiong shook his head, he could guess that this matter was related to the second prince, wouldn't others suspect it?

"I often teach you that as a prince, you will have the opportunity to inherit the throne in the future, act above board, plan and then act.

Today's events, it seems that the eldest prince is angry with the emperor, and it is difficult to escape the responsibility, but in fact, it is very unfavorable to you.

If the end result of this matter is smooth sailing, it will be fine. If......

Don't forget, when today's son is Your Majesty after all, where do you put Your Majesty's face when you act like this? ”

The second prince's expression froze.

He has good talents, and Ye Qiong understood what he meant as soon as he pointed him out.

Although the Emperor Taishang ignored the government affairs, he still occasionally summoned the ministers of the cabinet, and even the generals of the Daxuan military, most of whom were single-handedly promoted by the Emperor Taishang back then. Although the current emperor has been on the throne for more than ten years, most of those generals in the army have military merits, and it is really difficult to pry.

As a prince, he naturally knows more than others. The Emperor Taishang and his father are not as filial as they seem......

Now he has crossed his father, Emperor Jingtai, and stabbed the matter of the eldest prince to the Emperor Taishang, if Emperor Jingtai knows, I am afraid that he will not have a good sense of him.

However, after understanding it, the second prince still felt that what he did was right:

"For so many years, my father has been dissatisfied with the eldest brother on his face, and he reprimanded him at every turn, in fact, in his heart, he has the most preference for the eldest brother! No matter what mistake the eldest brother makes, he always picks it up high and puts it down gently, and he never really disposes of it!

As for me, I have always done everything according to him since I was a child, and I never dared to make a mistake or take half a wrong step, but every time I went to meet my father, he never talked to me for more than half an hour, and sometimes I even had a feeling that my father was very disgusted with me......"

Speaking of this, the second prince's always calm and elegant face had a hint of hideousness.

These emotions have always been buried deep in his heart, and only in front of Ye Qiong did he dare to release them slightly.

"Be careful!"

Ye Qiong scolded. However, seeing the appearance of the second prince immediately bowing down to be taught, his heart softened again, in the end, he was the grandson who was taught from childhood to adulthood......

"Now that this matter has been handed over to the Criminal Department, no matter what, you can't interfere anymore, do you understand?"

"Yes."

The second prince nodded in response.

"Okay, you can go back if you have nothing to do, I'm a little tired."

The second prince hurriedly said a few words to let Ye Qiong have a good rest, and then he said goodbye and prepared to leave.

"That Han Zhilian, this person can't be of great use, you don't want to ask him to go to your house in the future."

The second prince paused, but still responded: "Yes." ”

Then say goodbye again.

"Alas......"

Ye Qiong sighed lightly, glanced at the back of the bookshelf, and said, "Come out." ”

Immediately, I saw a tall and slender figure walking out, holding a tray with a bowl of ginger soup on it.

Ye Qiong looked at her granddaughter, who had changed her clothes but was equally beautiful, and finally showed a smile on her face.
