"Why are you here?"

Ye Qiong stretched her brows and said with a smile to her granddaughter.

Ye Zhenzhen put the tray on the small table next to her, put the soup into the soup bowl, and then picked it up and put it in front of Ye Qiong.

"If it's cold today, I let the kitchen boil ginger soup to warm my grandfather's body."

When Ye Qiong heard this, she was overjoyed, and then picked it up and tasted it. The temperature was just right, and when I drank it, I did feel a lot warmer in an instant.

Raising his head, he saw Ye Zhenzhen standing on the side, his eyes were calm, he asked him to sit down first, and then said, "What do you want to ask?" ”

Ye Zhenzhen sat to the west, and when she heard this, she knew that her mind was discovered by her grandfather, so she said: "Will the second prince succeed in their methods, and will the eldest prince be punished?" ”

As a person from the Taishi Mansion, even if she is only a daughter, she still knows more about royal affairs than others.

The eldest prince has a bad record, and this time he did such a murderous thing, even if this person is a prince, she also hopes that such a person will be punished as he deserves.

It's a pity that Ye Qiong slowly shook her head in her expectant eyes and said, "In the end, this matter still depends on Your Majesty's intentions." ”

Ye Zhenzhen was puzzled and said: "However, this matter has not been stabbed in front of the Emperor by the Second Prince, and the Emperor has also ordered the Criminal Department to investigate strictly, how can it be based on His Majesty's meaning?" ”

She didn't understand.

If so, aren't the two princes working in vain? It's better to directly present the incriminating evidence to Emperor Jingtai.

Ye Qiong didn't understand Ye Zhenzhen's resentment, he sighed: "The Emperor Taishang has lived in Xiyuan for many years, and he doesn't pay much attention to the major affairs of the military state, and the Emperor Taishang will not care too much about this matter...... If His Majesty insists on defending the eldest prince, it is impossible for the criminal department to convict the eldest prince. ”

Ye Zhenzhen understood as soon as she heard it, the Emperor Taishang was a little angry today, but his old man could order the Criminal Department to investigate strictly on the spot, and he already lived up to his name as a holy monarch. After that, how to investigate by the Criminal Department, it is obvious that the Emperor Taishang will not be able to pay much attention to such trivial matters.

Therefore, as long as the Criminal Department is not determined to cure the crimes of the great prince, in the end, it can only be done according to the emperor's wishes.

"Then grandpa, what do you think will be the final result of this matter?"

"If Your Majesty is still bent on defending the eldest prince, then the final result is most likely that the governor of Sichuan will be dismissed, and the eldest prince will only be deceived by others."

The matter has come out, even if Emperor Jingtai wants to protect the prince, it is impossible to take the risk of making things bigger, and it is the safest way to lose the pawn and protect the car.

The governor of Sichuan is an abandoned pawn.

In this way, whether it is the emperor or the people, it can be justified.

"Hoodwinked?"

Although Ye Zhenzhen never believed that the eldest prince would be deceived by others, she also understood that what her grandfather said was the most reasonable speculation.

This also made her realize once again that the wrestling of the royal family and the tilting of the imperial court are indistinguishable from right and wrong.

"Then, did grandfather ever think that with the plan of the second prince, he would move the emperor......"

Ye Zhenzhen wanted to say that let the Emperor really investigate this matter strictly and not give anyone a chance to fish in troubled waters, but unfortunately before she could completely speak, Ye Qiong's face sank, and said, "No!" Zhen'er, you remember, we are just courtiers, royal affairs, don't get involved too deeply, it won't do us any good, I used to teach your brother to say the same. ”

Ye Qiong still hasn't said a word thoroughly, in the final analysis, the emperor, the emperor, the prince, they are a family.

If they, who are courtiers, interfere, they will be sparse relatives. Can you say that the Emperor Taishang doesn't matter, the Emperor Taishang and the Emperor will definitely think that they have ulterior motives.

"Is it okay to let him continue to get away with it?"

Ye Zhenzhen was a little unhappy, in her heart, her grandfather was one of the most powerful people in the world, ruling the world for more than ten years, if he couldn't punish the eldest prince, who else in the world could cure such wicked people?

"Today, His Majesty's heirs are thin, whether it is the eldest prince or the second prince, their affairs cannot be judged by one family, or even by secular rights and wrongs. The last time Du Anzhu and the others jointly signed a book to appoint the second prince as the crown prince, I was worried that it had touched His Majesty's sensitive nerves......"

Ye Qiong said smoothly for a while, and said the important affairs of the court in front of Ye Zhenzhen, and then said with a smile: "You don't usually care about these things, why do you ask so much today?" ”

Ye Zhenzhen bowed and said: "My granddaughter is the brother and sister who saw the Li family in Shu today, and I think that the two of them are very pitiful, and they have traveled thousands of miles to avenge their father, if it is ......"

Speaking of this, Ye Zhenzhen's face changed, and she said, "If the eldest prince is not punished this time, will he take revenge on the Li family brothers and sisters?" ”

Ye Qiong was also stunned, and then said: "This is the capital, even if he is the prince, it is impossible to mess around at will." ”

It's a pity that Ye Zhenzhen didn't rest assured. In her impression, the sick prince is a small-bellied chicken intestine and a very vindictive person.

In contrast, the second prince is much stronger no matter what she says, and she really can't figure out why the emperor prefers the eldest prince......

Looking at Ye Zhenzhen's thoughtful expression, Ye Qiong smiled. The Ye family's heirs are not prosperous, and now there are only three of their ancestors and grandchildren left, after he was raised, he taught Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Hao at home the two brothers and sisters, and when he taught Ye Hao the way to govern the country as an official, he did not avoid Ye Zhenzhen, resulting in this granddaughter's vision being much higher than that of ordinary boudoir women.

"Okay, let's not talk about the eldest prince, let's talk about you. There are so many young talents in Xiyuan today, can any of them be in the eyes of my precious granddaughter? Ye Qiong suddenly smiled.

Ye Zhenzhen came back to her senses, looked at Ye Qiong, her face turned red all of a sudden, and she said angrily: "Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about, what is in your eyes......"

"Men should get married, women should get married, what's so embarrassing about that!"

Ye Qiong said nonchalantly. Ye Zhenzhen's parents died early, and only his grandfather worried about these things.

He is in his sixties this year, and if he doesn't make a decision on the major affairs of their sister and brother earlier, he will not feel at ease even if he leaves.

How could Ye Zhenzhen not understand Ye Qiong's thoughts, so she just buried her face and didn't speak.

Seeing this, Ye Qiong said: "There are only two of us here, and there is no one else, you just have to tell grandpa what you have in your heart, and grandpa can make decisions for you, right?"

Previously, I intended to give you to the second prince, but you were only because of your aunt......

I won't force it, our Ye family already has your aunt, but there is no need for you to wronged yourself anymore.

However, you just said that you don't want to marry the second prince, but you have never had a favorite candidate, how can grandpa rest assured?

You're sixteen, and it's time to be married.

I am ready to set your family affairs this year, and I will also set Hao'er's family affairs next year, so that I will go underground and see your parents. ”

Speaking of the parents of Ye Zhenzhen's sisters and brothers, Ye Qiong is inevitably a little sad and lost.

Ye Zhenzhen walked over and stroked his back to comfort him.

Ye Qiong quickly adjusted, let Ye Zhenzhen sit in front of her, and said in a consultative tone: "What do you think of the second son of the Jia family?" I think he's good, it just so happens that her sister is still a close person to your aunt, and if you marry in the future, you're not afraid of suffering......"

"Ah, grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about, he, he's just a child, I'm so much older than him, how can this work!"

Ye Zhenzhen was taken aback, thinking back to the Jia family Jia Baoyu she had seen today, the other party's body was estimated to be less than her chin, and the other party was a little brother in her eyes......

"Why not? Didn't he say it, he's thirteen years old, and you're only three years older than him, as the saying goes, 'female juniors hug gold bricks', which is a good thing.

Besides, the kid of the Jia family is talented and talented, isn't this what you admire?

Besides, he was born well, with a handsome face, well-defined contours, and red lips and white teeth, only such a young man can be worthy of my family.

Now he's a little younger, but that's okay, as long as you can see it, I can help you set up a marriage in advance, and then wait a few years before getting married......"

The more Ye Qiong said, the more she felt that this family affair was feasible. It is also the will of God, this Jia Baoyu will not appear in front of him sooner or later, but when he is bent on choosing his grandson-in-law, how can he not catch it?

Ye Zhenzhen was embarrassed by him, and said, "Grandpa, you just met him once, so you ...... I'm ignoring you! ”

After saying that, he raised his feet and fled.

"Hehehe......"

Watching her granddaughter's tall figure leave, Ye Qiong gently stroked her beard.

It's good, it's not like I'm opposed to it as soon as I mention the name, it seems that this kid has a little hope.

But what she said is also that the old man of the boy only saw him for the first time today, and I am afraid that it is not good to talk about family affairs. It just so happened that he was going to study with the second prince as a companion, and there would be many opportunities to take the teaching test at that time.

Thinking of the second prince, Ye Qiong sighed in her heart.

Originally, he did belong to the second prince, and he and Ye Zhenzhen were also childhood sweethearts.

It was only after Ye Zhenzhen insisted on opposing it that he suddenly came back to his senses.

The Ye family has already produced a queen, and if the second prince ascends the throne in the future, it will be a queen mother and a queen.

Such a situation is too dazzling, it will sting the heart of the Yuanxuan royal family, and it is not beneficial for the second prince to win the heir.

On the contrary, the Ye family has a queen mother, and there is no actual benefit to having another queen.

Therefore, he gave up this heart and decided to find another good son-in-law. On today's trip to Xiyuan, the reason why he set up a bureau was to take the opportunity to take a look at the young talents in Beijing.
