Chapter 22: Szeto Man-sook (3)

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Guard Li has returned to the palace, and he is now going to His Majesty's imperial study." An attendant interrupted the conversation between Situ Wenshu and Xia Shang, the prince of Xia, Wen Shu looked at the chamberlain, and then at the prince, she didn't know if she was suitable here.

"Your Highness, or I'll step back first?" Wen Shu looked at the crown prince Xia Shang and said softly.

Prince Xia Shang smiled slightly, he stretched out his hand and stroked Wen Shu's head, Wen Shu stared at the prince, and suddenly felt a little shy, the prince saw Wen Shu's face flush, so he quickly said gently: "Wen Shu, you are with me, you don't need to be too polite." ”

Wen Shu nodded with a smile, but Wen Shu knew that since she came to Liyang, she had not been as happy as before, she used to be in Lihu City in Changhu Bay, she was also a cheerful and lively, unrestrained son-in-law, but when she arrived in Liyang, she was subjected to all kinds of difficulties from the harem, but fortunately, before traveling from Lihu City, her mother Queen Yue told her again and again, so that Wen Shu had more confidence in how to survive here.

"Who else is there in the Imperial Study?" The prince asked the chamberlain again.

"Master Hao and Master Ji are over there." The chamberlain replied.

"Humph! An insidious person who hides a knife in his smile, a flattering and shameless person, my father is surrounded by such people, how can I achieve a peaceful and prosperous era in Daxia! After listening to the words of the chamberlain, the prince said indignantly.

"His Royal Highness the Prince! Be careful! The chamberlain hurriedly comforted.

"Haha! No need to be careful! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right! ”

At this time, with a burst of soft applause, a person walked to the courtyard of the East Palace, Wen Shu looked curiously, to be precise, there were two people who came to the East Palace, these two Wen Shu have seen them, they are Hu Jingyi of the Ministry of Rites, and the Hanlin Academy revised the Cheng Shu.

Wen Shu previously learned from the prince that this Hu Jingyi and Cheng Shu are both well-known talents in Liyang, they have a close relationship with the prince, they are friends, and they loyally plan various matters for the prince, and the prince trusts them very much.

"It's Jingyi and Shu!" The prince was very happy to see the two, he took the initiative to stand up and go to greet Hu Jingyi and Cheng Shu, Wen Shu saw that Hu Jingyi and Cheng Shu also showed a happy look on their faces, the relationship between the three was indeed friendly, and they were not estranged because of the difference in identity.

Hu Jingyi and Cheng Shu saw Wen Shu, they both made a salute, Wen Shu also hurriedly returned the salute, Wen Shu knew that because she was the future princess, so these two people would respect her so much, these two people are friends with the prince, Wen Shu also respects them very much, but Wen Shu still feels that the talents of these two people may be good, but they are far from being strategically outstanding, after all, Wen Shu grew up in Changhu Bay, and was also raised by the Qi Jing doctor since she was a child, and she was raised by Guan Yu, who was knowledgeable and strategic. Although Wen Shu has never been good at managing Dr. Yu's strategy, after all, she has been exposed to it since she was a child, so she feels that Hu Jingyi and Cheng Shu have talent and no strategy.

"The prince is worried about the villain again?" Hu Jingyi asked with a smile.

"Hey! It's not the treacherous villains around my father! The prince said indignantly.

"The prince doesn't have to worry too much, such a treacherous person, provoke the resentment of the world, and commit the hatred of the world, there will be no good end!" Hu Jingyi said with a smile.

"Exactly! Those of us who read the sages are ashamed to associate with such traitors, and if we are good to others, we will surely win the knowledge of the world, so those who are evil will not have good results. Cheng Shu said indignantly.

"Hey! But my father trusts the wicked, what can we do? The prince sighed helplessly.

"The prince can rest assured, this majesty is also in the midst of internal and external troubles, as long as the timing is right, we can use this to clear the monarch's side and eradicate the evil." Hu Jingyi looked confident, which made Wen Shu a little more worried, but the prince obviously wanted to know the reason.

"Why is Jing Yi so sure?" The prince asked.

"When the head of the court, Mei Ju Zhengmei, the prince treats this person like this?" Hu Jingyi said with a smile.

"Mei Shoufu has courage, means, and ability, and he is really an indispensable minister of my Great Xia." The prince said.

However, the prince's words made Cheng Shu frown, Wen Shu had heard the name Mei Juzheng, the first assistant of the Xia cabinet, from his father King Qi Situ Haoran and Doctor Guan Yu, Wen Shu just knew that Mei Juzheng was in power and had outstanding political achievements, and even his father King Qi and Doctor Guan Yu were full of praise for this person, so Wen Shu didn't know why Cheng Shu showed a look of disgust.

"Mei Ju is a little capable, but he's just a powerful minister! Jingyi, why are you mentioning this person? Cheng Shu said dissatisfiedly.

"It doesn't matter if it's a powerful minister, it's just that it can be used by us." Hu Jingyi smiled slightly, which made people, including Wen Shu, look at him unconsciously, Hu Jingyi straightened his body, looking calm.

"I have wanted to make friends with Mei Shoufu several times, but the cronies sent by Mei Shoufu have been rejected by Mei Shoufu, how can Jing Yi make Mei Shoufu use us?" The prince asked with a puzzled expression.

"The prince has always been kind-hearted, and the responsibility of the world is the will of the people, this Mei Shoufu didn't want to intersect with the prince before, it must be to avoid suspicion, after all, since ancient times, the factional dispute between the emperor and the prince is fierce and extraordinary, so with Mei Shoufu such a heavy minister, he naturally wants to be good in it and avoid joining any camp." Hu Jingyi was still smiling and confidently explained to everyone.

"Hmph, don't you want to join any faction and form a gang independently? He Mei Juzheng is forming a private party, no one knows in the current dynasty, no one knows, if you want me to say, this Mei Juzheng is also a treacherous person, no different from Hao Hong and Ji Hua! Cheng Shu said indignantly.

"Cheng compilation is not in a hurry, as long as this Mei Shoufu is willing to join forces with us now, don't care about his previous behavior, the prince has the talent of the emperor, the important thing is that the prince has the heart of the emperor, and the heart of benevolence can make the world peaceful, Mei Shoufu has been in power for so many years, he will not understand this truth." Hu Jingyi smiled and comforted Cheng Shu.

"Why did Mei Shoufu have been intersecting with me recently?" The prince was puzzled.

"Some time ago, the relationship between Mei Shoufu and His Majesty became further sour, which is already known to the world, so if my guess is correct, Your Majesty will definitely give Mei Shoufu a heavy blow during the spring hunt, so now is the best time to win over Mei Shoufu."

Seeing Hu Jingyi's confident appearance, the prince also put his mind at ease, he gently pulled Wen Shu's hand, although Cheng Shu still didn't believe Mei Shoufu, but there was no reason to refute Hu Jingyi's words, after all, everyone knew that if the prince befriended the current dynasty Shoufu, he would definitely have a double advantage, but Wen Shu was still quite worried, at this moment how much she wanted to return to Changhu Bay, where she could freely display her temperament.
