"My father doesn't know that you and I have returned to Beijing, so I won't go to you this morning, and I will rest in the prince's mansion. ”

Yan Nanwan smiled and put her hands around his neck: "What should I do if the emperor asks me?"

And he said that thou hast not returned. ”

"This is a crime of deception. ”

Xue Yan nodded her nose and said dotingly: "Why not bully the king for you." He patted her head gently, "Don't worry, my father has me to deal with it, you can sleep well." ”

"Hmm. Yan Nanwan leaned up slightly and kissed the corner of his lips, "Come back early." ”

After Xue Yan left, Yan Nan couldn't sleep at night, but his body was still a little tired, so he lay on the bed for another hour before getting up.

When she was dressing, she found that she had changed her dirty clothes and pants, and her whole body was very refreshing, so she remembered that Xue Yan took her to the hot spring last night to wash.

I wondered, isn't it only in the temple that there are hot springs?

She walked to the back of the study with a puzzled look on her face, pushed open a door, and sure enough, it was a hot spring pool, and it was still steaming from above.

Yan Nanwan sighed, it is worthy of growing up in the royal family since childhood, and he will enjoy it.

She changed her clothes, opened the door of the study, and stood at the door, and when the cold wind blew, her neck shrunk into her clothes.

The little maid in the yard was clearing the snow, and the heavy snow had fallen all night, but it stopped at this time, and the little maid saw her come out, and greeted her respectfully: "Lord Yan." ”

Yan Nan smiled warmly, outside the courtyard, the whole housekeeper listened to Yan Nan's late rise and came over, with a festive smile: "What do you want to eat for breakfast?"

"The Seventh Prince is about to go down to court, right?" Yan Nanwan asked.

She had just been lying on the bed for an hour, and with the time to change her clothes and toss, according to weekdays, it was time to go to the morning court at this time.

The housekeeper replied: "Today's morning dynasty should be able to talk about Prime Minister Tao, I'm afraid it won't be so early." ”

Yan Nanwan thought about it too, and put her hands in her sleeves: "Go to the kitchen and make some breakfast for the Seventh Prince." ”

In the past, when she went to the morning court, he made breakfast for her and sent it to the palace gate, but now it is rare for her not to go to the morning court and make him a breakfast.

The whole housekeeper listened and was happy: "Lord Yan, a few days ago, the Seventh Prince was still talking about the food you cooked! The old slave still remembers the greedy appearance of the Seventh Prince, you made breakfast for him today, and the Seventh Prince will be happy to come back." ”

"Really?" Yan Nanwan smiled and said sweetly, "Then let him eat more." ”

In the court, the emperor was not surprised at all when he saw Xue Yanshi.

Xue Yan has not been close to several princes of the royal family since he was a child, and even Xue Zenglin, the thirteenth prince, only occasionally goes to sit. The son-in-law in the capital, he is only a general friend, but the son-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the two have a good relationship.

When he summoned Prime Minister Tao Cheng and Tao Xiaobei into the palace yesterday, he knew that he would see him this morning.

"Ling An's matter has been dealt with?" the emperor looked at Xue Yan and asked.

Xue Yan arched his hand and said, "The murderer has been caught." ”

"Lord Yan didn't come back with you?"

She came back overnight with her sons, and her body couldn't bear it, so she rested in the house. ”

The emperor nodded, and he didn't blame him, and looked at the ministers in the court: "Prime Minister Tao Cheng's family is involved in bullying the monarch, what do you Aiqing want to say about this?"

In the court, for a long time, no one stood up to say a word for Prime Minister Tao.

In the end, it was Qin Zhao who stood up: "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that this matter needs to be verified, Prime Minister Tao Cheng is loyal to the country and dedicated to the people, and he will never do such a deceitful thing." ”

The emperor had a calm face, and his sharp gaze swept to the other ministers: "Other Aiqing don't have anything to say?"

One of the ministers stood up and said, "Weichen thinks what Lord Qin said is reasonable. ”

Other ministers chimed in.

The emperor sneered in his heart, and his eyes fell on the crown prince Xue Hanmu and Xue Zenglin, and asked, "What do the crown prince and the thirteenth think?"

Xue Hanmu said: "Erchen also thinks that Prime Minister Tao is not this kind of person who deceives the monarch and shields criminals, please ask my father to investigate." ”

Xue Zenglin also said: "Erchen agrees with the statement of the crown prince and the royal brother. ”

The emperor said: "Since you all let me know, can there be a suitable person to investigate this matter?"

Xue Hanmu arched his hand: "Father, according to the opinion of the sons, you might as well let Lord Qin and Lord Yan investigate this case together, which also shows that the father attaches great importance to this case." ”

"What do you think? Qin Aiqing. The emperor asked.

Qin Zhao: "Weichen and Lord Yan must investigate this case thoroughly, and they will never wronged the Prime Minister." ”

"So much for the best. The emperor nodded, and then looked at Xue Yan who was hanging on the side, "Old Seven, what else do you have to say?"

"Erchen has nothing to say. Xue Yan paused, and then said, "It's just that there is no one in the entire court? Let Lord Yan check on big and small things, Lord Yan is a woman, and she is stronger than you men!"

He is distressed, his people, he is not willing to get tired, above the court, he uses his people as donkeys, and let her go wherever there is something.

The ministers looked at each other, and the prince who made the suggestion also darkened his face.

The emperor said coldly: "Since Lord Yan is an official of the imperial court, it is appropriate to share his worries for me. ”

"Then aren't the other adults also officials of the imperial court, and this prince has not seen them share their worries for their father!"

"Old Seven!" the emperor sank his face, "The ministers of the court and the central government perform their duties, and the whole world can be stable for a long time." ”

Xue Yan sneered and shrugged his shoulders: "It's Erchen who is lonely and unheard." His gaze struck Xue Hanmu, "Since Lord Yan is busy checking the prime minister, please also ask the crown prince and the royal brother to inform the crown princess when he goes back, Lord Yan has been very busy recently, and he has no time to pick a husband." ”

Xue Hanmu hesitated: "Old Seven, Lord Weiyan's selection of a husband is all due to the princess's busyness, and Lord Yan hasn't seen anything, why did he disturb Lord Yan?"

Xue Yan hooked his lips and smiled: "Is it possible that the crown prince doesn't know that your crown princess has come to Dali Temple? Dali Temple is an office place, is it something that ordinary women can go to? Even if the crown princess is fine, it is not okay to run to Dali Temple all day long?"

He was originally unhappy because of Tao Xiaobei's matter, and when he heard Xue Hanmu pull Yan Nanwan again, the anger in his heart couldn't be suppressed.

Xue Hanmu listened to his words, his face became more and more ugly, everyone knew that the Seventh Prince was fearless, but he was the crown prince and the future emperor, so he should give him some face.

Xue Zenglin said: "Brother Seven Emperor and Brother Tao are confidants and friends, I'm afraid that because Brother Tao is in a hurry, he will lose his sense of proportion when he speaks, and the prince and brother should not take it to heart." ”

"This palace won't bother with him!" Xue Hanmu flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, "But the seventh child should also learn some rules and etiquette, otherwise he will make the world laugh at the royal rules in the future." ”

"It's enough!" The emperor slapped the dragon chair violently and looked at the two of them, "A trivial matter can quarrel, I see that you are not a good prince!"
