As soon as Jiang Ruofu opened his eyes, he felt that the smell in the house was wrong.

It's a heavy sandalwood scent and medicinal smell, which she doesn't like.

She got up and lifted the curtain, and saw the scroll standing aside.

"Master! Are you awake? ”

"The Queen Mother sent someone to spread the word, saying that when you wake up, you will go to the palace."

Jiang Ruofu stretched out his hand and waved,

"Why is the fragrance so strong?"

Song Scroll Road,

"Last night, you said that you were in an inexplicably bad mood, and you couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, so you had to let the minions burn incense everywhere, and you also said that the cicadas outside were very noisy, so that the minions asked people to stick in the middle of the night."

Jiang Ruofu supported his forehead, now it is spring, where did the cicada come from.

If the prince can't sleep, he can't sleep, and he still finds so many reasons.

But it was a coincidence, she was also in a heavy mood last night, and she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning.

She got up,

"Did the Queen Mother tell me what to do?"

Song Scroll Road,

"The aunt who passed the message didn't say it, presumably it was just that the Queen Mother wanted to see you."

Jiang Ruofu sighed helplessly.

It seems that I can't go to see the prince first.

Wen Guqi woke up with his eyes open, and a fragrance of porridge swept over him.

He sat up straight suddenly, while Xiaoyu was setting the bowl.

"Miss, you're awake."

He looked at Xiao Yu, looked around again, lowered his head and rubbed his eyebrows.

Changed again.

Sure enough, the law of transformation he guessed was wrong.

I thought it was a positive number gift, and each time I added it incrementally, I took half a month's swap time to the peak and reincarnated again.

The error is only one day.

But this time, it didn't close.

Wen Guqi supported his forehead, got up and carved three strokes on the wall with a hairpin.

Three days

It is the same as the last time it was exchanged.

The three strokes are arranged vertically, and the other dates engraved before them are horizontally parallel to them.

Xiaoyu stepped forward,

"What is Miss scratching?"

Wen Gu stared at the strokes on the wall with deep eyes,

"Nothing."

Xiao Yu glanced at the wall and said with a smile,

"Miss, you painted this wall like those fortune tellers."

An idea slipped through Wen Guqi's mind.

"What did you say?"

Xiaoyu smiled,

"It's like a fortune teller."

Wen Guqi walked quickly to the desk, poured water and polished the ink in one go, and copied all the strokes.

From the first time, it is classified as yang, the second time is classified as yin, and so on.

Each swap is a multiple of three.

There was just one more.

The pattern drawn is indeed like a hexagram.

Wen Guqi drew it again.

Start with the yin, and so on.

Although there is a pattern, there is no pattern.

Fifteen is five times three, and three is one time three.

He turned fifteen strokes into five strokes and three strokes into one long stroke.

Those five strokes are two yin and one yang.

Wen Guqi was serious.

And Jiang Ruofu is already in the palace.

But I didn't expect to see a familiar person in the Queen Mother's North Palace.

Jiang Boqi knelt on the table,

"Now that there are civil forces to help disaster relief, the minister thinks that it should be taken back in time before the allocation, but has not yet been issued to the disaster relief silver, hundreds of officials layer by layer, presumably the current disaster relief silver is not the previous amount, if you want to take back the original number, then how much you eat will spit out, the queen mother can send someone to monitor, see how much officials at each level fill back to know how much everyone is greedy for ink."

"In this way, we can kill two birds with one stone, and take advantage of the recovery of the disaster relief money to check the officialdom at the same time."

Empress Chen's expression didn't show joy or anger, but her fingers knocked on the armrest.

A voice broke the silence,

"Lord Neishi's words are wrong."

Jiang Boqi and Empress Chen looked at the sound source.

The person who came was dressed in a dark robe, a black jade crown, a delicate and noble face, and a pair of peach blossom eyes carelessly.

"People who can really exploit the silver that is greedy for ink and disaster relief will never easily let go of the silver taels they eat, but will only coerce the people below to fill all the vacancies, if they scare those corrupt officials, they can make profits, then what are they greedy for?"

Jiang Ruofu chuckled lightly and looked at Jiang Boqi,

"Such a simple truth, I guess Lord Neishi won't understand it, right?"

Jiang Ruofu's chuckle was sneering in Jiang Boqi's ears.

Empress Chen nodded approvingly.

Jiang Ruofu saluted,

"I've seen the Queen Mother."

Jiang Boqi saw Jiang Ruofu, his eyes were respectful and frightened.

Jiang Ruofu narrowed his eyes slightly.

But with Wen Guqi's eyes, it looked like a cold contempt and threat.

So in the face of the world, her father is like this.

Jiang Ruofu remembered those things last night, and felt a little ridiculous more and more.

Chen Hou waved his hand,

"Since the prince has already given a judgment, Jiang Aiqing will go down first."

Jiang Boqi hurriedly knelt down and said,

"The minister retired."

Jiang Boqi secretly glanced at Jiang Ruofu before stepping away.

Chen Hou stepped down,

"You're about to be born, why don't you do it in the palace for this year's birthday."

Jiang Ruofu pursed her lips, but she didn't know what to say.

The Queen Mother actually doted on the prince. I want to hold a birthday for the prince in the palace.

If she remembers correctly, the prince should be on his twentieth birthday, and the year of the crown, should the male elders be crowned, is it possible, does the queen mother want Her Majesty to crown the prince personally?

Jiang Ruofu just guessed, and couldn't help but be shocked.

If it is done in the palace and His Majesty is crowned, isn't that a metaphor for something?

Only the prince and the crown, His Majesty needs to crown it with his own hands.

Under special circumstances, the children of the inherited clan will also be crowned.

All in all, His Majesty only crowns the descendants who have the possibility of succession.

Did she guess the meaning of the Queen Mother wrongly, or did the Queen Mother really mean this?

Jiang Ruofu didn't dare to make a decision,

"It's too early to talk about it later."

Chen Hou said with a straight face,

"What about the candidates for the princess?"

"You have passed the crown, and you are not far from getting married, but now you don't even have a candidate for a princess, and the mourning family can't feel at ease."

"If you don't want to hold a birthday in the palace, then you should give the mourning family a candidate for the princess, and the mourning family will give you the opportunity to choose yourself."

Jiang Ruofu's heart is in turmoil, how can he say this?

She didn't know if the prince had a sweetheart, and she didn't know if Miss Lu was the first choice for the princess in the prince's heart.

What's more, last time, the Queen Mother also said that the Jiang family...

Seeing Jiang Ruofu's hesitant face, Empress Chen said,

"Do you also think that daughter of the Jiang family can't be on the stage?"

"Can't be a princess?"

Jiang Ruofu was stunned,

"Huh?"

Empress Chen patted her on the shoulder,

"Originally, I listened to Mama Du's words, and I thought she was a girl with a degree of progress and retreat, but the mourning family sent someone to investigate, but I didn't expect to find out something unexpected."

"Although she is the daughter of Qingliumen, she is the daughter of a prostitute, in other words, she has nothing to do with the word Qingliu, not only a matter of low status, but also her innate reputation, if it is known, it is not very good."

When Jiang Ruofu heard this, he said word by word,

"The daughter of a famous prostitute does not mean that she is water-based, she is obscene and cheap, and she has no way to change what she was born with, but that is not a reason to despise her, because this so-called daughter of a famous prostitute, she is low-voiced and bullied, but she is no different from others."

She clenched her hands, fingertips sinking into her palms.

She had heard such statements countless times, and each time she heard them just disgusted.

Empress Chen rarely saw her angry grandson angry, but now when she saw Jiang Ruofu's cold words, she also knew in her heart that Qi Er was serious and had a heart for this girl from the Jiang family.

Thinking about it, the news that came back from the previous report also said that Qi'er took away the girl of the Jiang family before the butterfly fluttering meeting, and the two learned origami kite in the pavilion.

But it was folded that the girl's face was red.

I heard that the girl couldn't fold paper, so Qi'er took the initiative to teach.

How can Qi'er fold paper? And how can a man learn origami paper?

It could only be that the girl took the initiative to learn.

Qi'er has never taken any woman so seriously, and this thought is obvious.

Empress Chen comforted,

"If you really like it, you can also take her as a concubine, whether it is a good concubine, a noble concubine or even a side concubine, you can, but the princess of this world is absolutely impossible."

Jiang Ruofu's face was stunned.

Why did you get involved in being a concubine?

How can she marry the prince as a concubine?

Jiang Ruofu retorted,

"You misunderstood what your grandson meant, and your grandson said—"

Empress Chen sighed,

"Don't say it, it's impossible for the mourning family to let a woman from such a background be your concubine, Qi'er, you must have a degree of willfulness, if you let such a person be your concubine, how will others see you?"

Jiang Ruofu still wanted to argue.

was stopped by a warning look from Empress Chen.

"It's so decided, there will be a portrait sent to the palace today, you take a good look, those are the ladies selected by the mourning family for you quietly, not only the family background is innocent, but also dignified and generous, they are all excellent candidates for the princess, you take a good look, become married, you don't care how you treat them in private, but the candidate for the princess must be agreed by the mourning family."

Jiang Ruofu was really speechless.

Now in the eyes of the Queen Mother, she has become the sweetheart of the prince.

But she and Shizi didn't mean that at all.

After absentmindedly having lunch with Empress Chen, Jiang Ruofu got into the carriage and drooped his face.

How does she explain it to Shizi now?

What if the prince thinks that she is deliberately climbing high and talking nonsense in front of the Queen Mother?

Jiang Ruofu lifted the curtain, saw the street outside, and said loudly,

"Don't go back to the palace, stop at Baiju Building."

"Yes."

The carriage stopped immediately.

Jiang Ruofu lifted the curtain and walked down.

When she went upstairs, Wen Guqi was already inside.

Jiang Ruofu pulled his sleeve uneasily.

Wen Guqi didn't look up at her, but took a pen and scribbled on the paper.

Jiang Ruofu walked over,

"What is this?"

Wen Gu didn't raise his head and said,

"Hexagram."

Jiang Ruofu watched Wen Guqi write and paint,

"The prince has been watching Zhou Yi recently?"

Wen Guqi put down the pen and looked up at her,

"It's the length and time interval that we're swapping for the two of us."

Jiang Ruofu sat down,

"Is there any use in extrapolating this?"

Wen Guqi nodded,

"If you can turn them all into hexagrams, maybe you can find out the law of your and me interchange."

He flipped the paper over and showed it to Jiang Ruofu,

"You see, this is the fourth hexagram, called the Kan hexagram."
