Chapter 41: The Lobbyist

The prince is well aware of the matter of disaster relief money, in addition to the magistrates, many officials in the capital are also involved, if he investigates thoroughly, I don't know how many people will be offended.

The case is to be investigated, but you can't put yourself in the matter.

After all, he is only the prince, and if he offends too many people at this moment, it will only backfire on his future ascension to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor.

Wang Qifu listened to the prince's words and already knew it in her heart.

Although the crown prince is well aware of the stakes, he also knows very well that if the emperor decrees, there will be no room for turning this matter around.

At that time, even if I don't want to, I have to go to Luzhou.

"Why don't you recommend someone to the emperor?"

Wang Qifu smiled slightly, in addition to the crown prince, doesn't the emperor have two adult princes?

The prince's heart moved, but then he shook his head.

King Chen is useless, King Yu is still young, and he has never dealt with political affairs, and his father will not agree.

"Actually, I have met Princess Chen before, and I think King Chen can be of use to you."

She looked at the prince, as we all know, Jing Qicheng is a waste of dim sum, but someone has to bear this drudgery.

"But if I recommend King Chen directly to my father, I am afraid that my father will be suspicious."

Wang Qifu smiled, just leave this kind of trivial matter to herself, she naturally has a way to let King Chen take over this hot potato.

Seeing his crown princess solve problems for himself like this, the prince was very relieved, and stayed in Wang Qifu's boudoir that night, while Mu Qingyan could only bite his handkerchief by himself and hate the root of his teeth.

Chunxing stood behind Meng Combrow and watched her play chess with Jing Qicheng, she didn't know chess, she only felt that the number of blacks and whites on the chessboard was about the same, and the situation seemed to be stalemate, regardless of whether it was up or down.

"How, does the princess want to throw in the towel?"

Meng combed his eyebrows and snorted, wanting to admit defeat by himself? No way.

Although she has also been playing chess since elementary school and is considered a good player, Jing Qicheng's chess skills are not bad, she almost lost to him after just a little dim sum.

The situation was not clear at the moment, she thought about it and dropped a pawn.

Jing Qicheng raised his eyebrows slightly, this move had the potential to break the cauldron, and suddenly tore out a hole in his chess pieces.

is worthy of being his own princess, and even playing chess is pressing step by step, and the momentum is very strong.

Meng Combrow took a good move, and just as he wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Jing Qicheng fall lightly and eat a large piece of his territory.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.

Oops, it looks like I'm going to lose.

Jing Qicheng threw the chess pieces he had just eaten up and down with one hand, and the eyes under the mask looked at Meng Combing his eyebrows playfully, how about it?

Meng Combs frowned and looked at the chess game, she pretended to pick up the tea bowl next to her, and then flipped her hand, and the bowl of tea fell on the chessboard.

She said very regretfully: "Oh, the chess is messed up, forget about this game, we will win or lose next time." ”

Jing Qicheng couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that she still had this hand.

Anyway, as long as you can win, it doesn't matter what means you use.

"Lord Qiqi, princess, the crown princess is here, saying that she wants to see you."

Wang Qifu? How did she come to the palace?

Meng Combrow glanced at Jing Qicheng, and felt that he didn't seem to be surprised at all, as if he knew that Wang Qifu would come today.

"When we talk to each other, we will aggrieved the prince to avoid it first."

Meng combs her eyebrows while telling Chunxing to clean up the chessboard, and at the same time asks the maid to change her clothes, and then goes to greet Wang Qifu in person.

"My sister is here, why don't I inform my sister in advance."

She stepped forward affectionately to hold Wang Qifu's hand, and looked at her face carefully.

"My sister is really a peerless honor."

"Thanks to my sister for giving me the medicine."

The two of them sat down in the main hall, and Wang Qifu brought a lot of good things, saying that she was grateful to Meng for helping her last time.

"You are so polite, it is my sister's honor to share your worries."

She asked Chun Xing to serve tea, this tea is the best sparrow tongue, sent from Hangzhou, Meng Combrow is usually reluctant to drink it, but seeing that Wang Qifu just touched her lips slightly and put it down.

Wang Qifu gossiped a few words with her, and asked her how she and Jing Qicheng got along.

Meng Combrow felt that she was also going to the Three Treasures Hall today, so she echoed Wang Qifu's words while luring her to tell her intentions.

"In fact, King Chen is the oldest of all the princes except the crown prince, and it's time to share the emperor's worries."

Meng Combrow listened to Wang Qifu's words and didn't guess what she meant for the time being, so she said: "Sister's words are serious, in fact, you also know that the prince just wants to be a rich idler, and the rest really don't want to be too careful." ”

Wang Qifu smiled, since she is in the royal family, where can she save her heart?

She also said that since she has joined the royal family, doesn't Meng Comb Eyebrows want Jing Qicheng to be able to do something?

Meng combed her eyebrows and pretended to be puzzled and looked at Wang Qifu, as if she didn't understand what she was saying at all.

Seeing that she was so stupid, Wang Qifu also lowered her guard in her heart, feeling that Meng Combrow was really the same as she thought, but she was just a deep boudoir woman who knew how to heal, and she didn't know anything about government politics and didn't have much knowledge.

That's the best, so she's relieved.

"That's the case, my sister should know about the drought in Luzhou."

Meng combed her eyebrows and nodded, there were so many refugees in the capital, and the begging people had run to the gate of the palace, how could she not know.

"My father wants to find a trustworthy person to go to Luzhou, so it's better for my sister to ask King Chen to help my father share his worries."

Wang Qifu's reason is also high-sounding, saying that if King Chen is willing, he will definitely be able to raise his eyebrows in front of the emperor and courtiers.

Meng Combrow sneered in his heart, this messenger is clearly a hot potato, the prince doesn't want to offend the minister, and he is afraid that the emperor will think that he will think that he will think about pushing this matter to Jing Qicheng.

"Thank you sister for your kindness, it's just that my prince is really not suitable to go to Luzhou."

Meng combed his eyebrows and was worried, Jing Qicheng didn't know martial arts, Luzhou was remote, what if there was anything wrong on the road.

"Sister, don't worry, the elder sister will definitely help you arrange it, you just need to go to Luzhou with the prince, and when you come back, you will wait to be rewarded by your father."

If it weren't for Meng Combrow's eyebrows, he would have been deceived by Wang Qifu.

She is worthy of being the crown princess, and her skills in instigating people can be regarded as first-class.

Having said that, Meng Combrow could only say that he would discuss it with Jing Qicheng, but whether he wanted to go to Luzhou or not depends on Jing Qicheng's own intentions.

"My sister is deeply loved by the prince, if you speak, how can the prince not listen?"

Wang Qifu's purpose had been hit, and she gossiped a few more words with her and went back.
