Chengqian Palace, the lively palace in the past became silent because of the master's encounter. There was no shortage of palace people, but the sound of walking became quieter, and even the voice of the voice was angry, as if they were afraid of disturbing anyone.

In the dormitory, Tang Feng stood in front of the bookshelf in a pink and white bedclothes, his fingers jumping from the thick books, and finally chose a fairly informative and interesting biography to read.

"Lotus root, add tea." She sat sideways in her chair, her legs folded, and she read a book with her knees folded.

The lotus root came in, changed her with a new cup of tea, and put a small plate of fruit on it. She looked up and saw that the master seemed to be completely immersed in the book, and even picked up a pen casually and sketched on the book, looking very serious.

Doesn't the master only like to read the ledger and not to read the book? Why are you so addicted today? Seeing that she took great care to make marks on the book, and occasionally added two annotations, it was really a little different from the past. Accustomed to the jeweled appearance of the master, at this time, looking at the book with such a hairpin ring and a plain face, it really looks like a woman who came out of the scholarly door.

The fundamental reason why Tang Feng was able to sit here reading books so calmly and let them "ground" her was that she was too confident. It's not that she doesn't know what is happening outside, and if Zhu Ge and the others can think of such a bad trick to deal with her, they will naturally face the next storm. Those charges nailed to her will be swallowed back one day sooner or later, and she sincerely hopes that these people will be able to play two more games with her.

——

After two days of leisure, one day the little gold came in from outside in a hurry, and he brought bad news.

"Master, it's not good, the cabinet ministers are preparing to make the eldest prince in charge of the country, maybe they will make him the crown prince!"

Tang Feng was leaning on the small table to arrange flowers, and when he heard this, he raised a smile and said, "This frightened you?" ”

Xiao Jinzi couldn't figure out the master's intentions, but he took it for granted that if it wasn't for Niangniang's child becoming the prince, then Niangniang's future life would definitely be difficult. Besides, the biological mother of the eldest prince is the deceased Queen Xu, and Queen Xu hated her master to the bone during her lifetime.

"You don't have to be so alarmed, the eldest prince is His Majesty's only son, both the eldest and the elder, isn't it a matter of course for him to be the crown prince?" Tang Feng said in a calm tone.

"But ...... "The eldest prince hates you!" Xiao Jinzi couldn't say it clearly, and he was so anxious that the tip of his nose sweated.

Tang Feng glanced at him with a smile and said, "There is no need for this palace to have trouble with a child, and it is too unstylish." "It's just that the cabinet did this, where did the unconscious Xu Kangdi go? When Emperor Xu Kangdi wakes up, will he recognize or disagree with this prince of the prison country? Even if he also intends to make the eldest prince the crown prince, but the ministers are so mixed, as a self-respecting emperor, won't he have any ideas in his heart?

The group of people in the cabinet really thought that the emperor had died, so they could come as they pleased. Tang Feng sneered, Daxia was really exhausted, and even her opponents were helping her, if she didn't win, how could she be worthy of their success?

——

The eldest prince is eight years old this year, and he has attracted much attention because he is the only prince of Emperor Xu Kangdi so far. On weekdays, homework is taught by five masters together, and Xu Kangdi is randomly inspected at any time, so he can be regarded as a child with solid skills and acceptable qualifications.

When Shoufu Zhuge told him that he was going to let him come to the prison country, he was so frightened that he almost fell out of his chair with only a book in his hand.

"Don't worry, with the assistance of the ministers and the old ministers, His Highness will definitely be able to serve as the prisoner of the country." Zhu Ge was also one of his masters, and although he did not teach in person, he finally hung the title of a gentleman.

The eldest prince's first reaction was to ask, "What did the imperial concubine say?" ”

Zhu Ge's face froze for a moment, and he looked serious, and said, "The harem can't interfere in politics, and the decisions made by the cabinet can't be asked by her." ”

"But the imperial concubine is not an ordinary concubine, she has the ability to dominate the government and influence some courtiers." The eldest prince frowned, he didn't look much like Emperor Xu Kang, he was about like Queen Xu, and he had a weak bookish atmosphere.

His words made Zhu Ge look at him differently, yes, insight into world affairs, and a good seedling. Such a candidate for the prince was suppressed because of the imperial concubine, and he could not be crowned the crown prince for a long time, how aggrieved.

Zhu Ge said, "She is now unable to protect herself, so Your Highness should not be too distracted from her." The ministers have already prepared the will for His Majesty, and at such a critical moment, someone must take on the important task, and His Royal Highness is the only candidate. ”

Although the eldest prince is only eight years old, he already knows what he should know. The child who grew up in the imperial family always matured very quickly, even if he was the only son of the emperor, but he went through what ordinary children could not imagine. He witnessed the most powerful fight between Empress Xu and the imperial concubine, although her mother died of illness, but if there was no imperial concubine, her last time should be quiet and safe, rather than leaving in a bloody storm. At this point, the eldest prince is not ready to let go of the imperial concubine.

"Okay, I'll listen to Shousuke-sama." He nodded, his hands behind his back, and a faint sense of dominance.

Three days later, the cabinet issued an edict, asking the prince to supervise the country on the grounds that His Majesty's dragon body had not yet healed and could not go to court.

At the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Xu Zhong sighed fiercely and turned around and entered the inner hall. He pointed to the little ball and the little fruit and stood guard at the door of the dormitory, and then went in lightly.

"How's it going out there?" The man half-lying on the dragon bed asked.

Xu Zhongzhong said truthfully, "Back to Your Majesty, the cabinet has invited the eldest prince to supervise the country. ”

"What about the imperial concubine?"

"Still grounded in Chengqian Palace."

Xu Kangdi, who was unconscious in front of outsiders, was sitting on the bed in good spirits at this time, and what he was reading in his hand was the palace newspaper issued by the cabinet denouncing dozens of crimes of the imperial concubine.

After reading it, his face also became gloomy. He woke up on the third day after the stab, but because of a series of considerations, he planned to be "unconscious", so that he could see such a wonderful "performance" of his courtiers. He was awake when the imperial concubine was coerced by a knife and left the Heart Cultivation Palace, and he took in all the words she said and what they said.

Xu Zhong stood silently aside, he was the only one who knew that His Majesty had already woken up, and he was also the witness who watched these people jump up and down from beginning to end.

"Looks like it's time for me to wake up." Xu Kangdi pursed his lips and sneered.

"Your Majesty is wise." Xu Zhongdao.

Eighteen years of imperial career has forged Emperor Xu Kangdi into a scheming ruler, he has been lying down for so long under the pretext of illness just to see who is really worried about him when he falls, and who is bent on controlling the government. Obviously, from beginning to end, Tang Feng is the only person who really wants to arrest the real murderer for her and cares about his life and death.

"She's been wronged, I should go see her in person." Xu Kangdi got out of bed holding his chest, although he had been lying down for so many days, the wound was too deep and had not yet healed completely, and there was a danger of pulling the wound when he walked two steps.

Xu Zhong hurriedly knelt down in front of him to stop him, and said, "Your Majesty must take the dragon body as the priority, and the grievances suffered by the imperial concubine can be calculated slowly, don't be in a hurry at this time." ”

"You know what, she must be sad now," Xu Kangdi frowned and looked at him.

"Your Majesty, you can rest in peace, you give the slave a message, and the slave will invite the imperial concubine to the Heart Cultivation Palace." Xu Zhong kowtowed to him and begged him, "You are a golden body, but you must not miss again!" ”

Xu Zhong was bitter and sincere. Emperor Xu Kangdi stared at his head for a long time, took a step back, and said, "If the imperial concubine is angry with me because of this, you are responsible for kowtowing to her to make amends." ”

"Yes, the slave must ask the mother for the crime!" Xu Zhong quickly responded.

Xu Kangdi chuckled lightly and said, "Go now, but you have to know what to say in your heart." ”

Xu Zhong nodded and said, "If you save it, you will definitely not let Niangniang know that Your Majesty has already woken up." ”

"Hmm."

Xu Zhong came to Chengqian Palace with an edict, he thought that the imperial concubine must be in a bad mood after being trapped for a few days, but he didn't expect that she would have time to cook and make pastries in person, which made it the first time for him to announce the decree in the kitchen.

"Bang-" The freshly made plate of chestnut cake just returned to dust.

Xu Zhong turned his face sideways to dodge, for fear that the imperial concubine would let him pick up the chestnut cake and eat it in a fit of anger. Fortunately, she didn't do this, she just rushed out of the temple gate as soon as possible.
