Concubine Huo Xian listened to Chu Li's words, but she was not angry, but felt very happy, "Li'er, you are right, you really can't indulge Zhirou too much, the reason why she has become what she is now is because she was indulged by your uncle and Mrs. Zhou." ”

Although Concubine Huo Xian's surname is Huo, she has a good relationship with her brother Jingbei Hou, but no matter how good the relationship is, it can't match the weight of her son Chu Li in her heart. When there is a conflict between Chu Li and the Marquis of Jingbei, of course she has to stand on Chu Li's side, she and Chu Li are the real ones who have both glory and loss.

"Does the concubine really think that what the princess said is right?" Chu Li was a little suspicious, he thought that his mother would take care of the Huo family's affection, so he refuted him.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Huo Xian actually agreed with him.

Concubine Huo Xian saw Chu Li's thoughts and smiled, "Li'er, you are the meat that fell from the belly of this palace, and you are the closest person to this palace, and everything this palace does is for you." Li Er, why did you decide on your relationship with Zhirou when you were in the palace? ”

"It's because she has a Zhou Jinzhi behind her." Chu Li replied that Huo Zhirou's life is good, and she has a little uncle Zhou Jinzhi who is thriving in the officialdom. Zhou Jinzhi is a very ambitious person, and he has a good mind, he is like a fish in water in the officialdom, and he also serves in the household department and is in charge of the national treasury.

"It's not just because of that."

Concubine Huo Xian shook her head, "Li'er, although Jingbei Hou is your own uncle and brother of this palace, although there is kinship, but where are your sisters and nephews more important than your own wife and children. Li'er, you have the heart to snub Zhirou for a while, the concubine has no opinion, just stop at the point, don't go too far. ”

Afraid that Chu Li would misunderstand, Concubine Huo Xian hurriedly explained, "The concubine is not saying good things for Zhirou in disguise, Li'er, you have to understand the hard work of the concubine." You don't have to marry Huo Zhirou, and the Huo family doesn't have to support you. ”

Uncle may not support nephew, in previous dynasties, there were also families who supported other princes.

Chu Li also thought that Concubine Huo Xian was interceding for Huo Zhirou in a corner, but Concubine Huo Xian's last sentence made him change his mind. The Huo family does not necessarily have to support him, although he has half of the Huo family's blood in his body, but the blood relationship may not necessarily be reliable, this truth Jingbei Hou will not understand.

Chu Li weighed it, and finally nodded after being silent, "Erchen understands what the mother concubine means, don't worry, the mother concubine can rest assured, Erchen knows in his heart, and he will not always snub Rou'er." ”

Seeing that Chu Li agreed, Concubine Huo Xian also had a little more smile on her face, "Li'er, it's great that you can understand." ”

Chu Li also smiled, of course he could understand, everyone was a chess piece in his hand, Huo Zhirou was, and so was Huo Sijin.

It's just that what Chu Li didn't know was that he thought he had Huo Sijin's mind in a good way, but in fact, the person who was really pinched was himself......

The next day, Huo Sijin went to Huzhou with Chu Zheng, and the first thing he did was to tell Chu Zheng about yesterday's events word for word.

This time he went to Huzhou, Chu Zheng paid a private visit to Weifu, and did not set up the prince's guard of honor, so he only prepared a carriage, he and Huo Sijin sat in the carriage, and the rest of the guards pretended to be small guards and rode with them.

Huo Sijin has been Huo Changjin for many years, and he sat in the same carriage with the man, so he didn't think there was anything at all. It's just that somehow, when Huo Sijin and Chu Zheng were sitting side by side, they suddenly remembered the scene when they inadvertently got too close to each other in the East Palace that day, Huo Sijin couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and quietly moved to the other side, trying to stay away from Chu Zheng as much as possible.

She silently reminded herself in her heart that she was Huo Changjin, the chief of the East Palace, and the advisor of Prince Chu Zheng. At the same time, she told Chu Zheng in detail about her conversation with Chu Li, Jingbei Hou and others yesterday. Attention was diverted, and soon the messy mind gradually calmed down.

"Your Highness, Changjin thinks that the third prince is deliberately tempting, he is afraid that he has already known that you have arranged the construction of the drainage ditch in advance, and you are only afraid that there are his eyes and ears by your side."

Huo Sijin's eyes condensed slightly, she told Chu Zheng about this, and she also hoped that he would pay attention to it and pull out Chu Li's ears and eyes.

"It's not surprising that there are always eyes and ears around this palace." Chu Zheng said lightly.

In Huo Sijin's eyes, Chu Zheng's words were very perfunctory, and he didn't take this matter to heart at all. There are the eyes and ears of others around him, but he is so understated, either Chu Zheng disdains it, or he doesn't care.

Huo Sijin's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Your Highness, you don't plan to find people out?" ”

"Your Highness, please listen to Changjin's words." Huo Sijin said with a straight face, "You have been practicing at the border for many years, and have made great achievements, in terms of military exploits, no prince can compare to you, if you have made achievements in the government, then your position as the prince is difficult to shake, this is not what the princes want to see, the third prince has been planning in secret for many years, in order to one day replace His Royal Highness, he planted eyes and ears around you, the purpose is to make a trip, and ruin your errand." ”

At the end, Huo Sijin once again emphasized, "Your Highness, you must not let him succeed!" ”

There are peach blossom floods every year, every year when the flood season comes, the people are displaced, miserable, the imperial court also sows relief food, but still can not solve the crisis. If Chu Zheng perfectly solves this year's Peach Blossom Flood, even if he only does a good job in the aftermath, it will still be a great achievement, and these will be Chu Zheng's political achievements.

In his previous life, Chu Zheng was taken away, but he asked Chu Li to pick up the cheap. In this life, with her Huo Sijin here, Chu Li must not be complacent.

"Changjin, you remind this palace everywhere to be careful of Chu Li, do you hate him?"

Chu Zheng turned his head and looked at Huo Sijin, "What did Chu Li do to make you hate him so much?" ”

Hearing this, Huo Sijin's heart beat like a drum, Chu Zheng's sense of smell was too sensitive, this was the second time he had asked her like this.

"Changjin is His Royal Highness's person, and the third prince is His Highness's enemy, Changjin, as the long history of the East Palace, naturally has to remind His Highness and give advice to His Highness."

After listening to Huo Sijin's explanation, the corners of Chu Zheng's eyes rose slightly, "So, are you all for this palace?" ”

Huo Sijin nodded, "Since Changjin is doing things for His Highness, he will serve His Highness wholeheartedly." ”

Chu Zheng retracted his gaze and said lightly: "Since you are doing things for this palace, then do your things well, don't waste time on these little things." ”

This is no small matter...... Huo Sijin just wanted to speak, but the words stopped again. She had to control her emotions and not let Chu Zheng see the clues.

"Yes, Your Highness." Huo Sijin nodded in response, she had already told Chu Zheng, as for whether to find out Chu Li's ears and eyes, what should Chu Li, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has his own ideas, as a strategist, don't speak when she shouldn't.

"However, after Huzhou, you took the token of the palace to the Zhizhou Mansion to supervise the construction of drainage canals."

Hearing this, Huo Sijin was slightly stunned, "Your Highness, don't you go to the Zhizhou Mansion?" ”

Chu Zheng shook his head, "When you arrive in Huzhou, you don't have to call this palace the crown prince, this palace is just a guard by your side, Xie Tianxing." ”

Huo Sijin instantly understood Chu Zheng's intentions, "It turns out that His Royal Highness wants to pay a private visit, Changjin obeys the order, and he will definitely cooperate with His Highness." ”

In this way, she is on an errand as the chief of the East Palace, so she can secretly observe the actions of Huzhou officials, and she can also know which people should be dealt with, not wronged good people, and will not let go of any corrupt officials.

"You don't have to worry about other things, your main task is to deal with the peach blossom flood."

Chu Zheng's voice came from her ears again, and the implication was that this was to remind her that she didn't have to worry about dealing with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and she would use her heart on Peach Blossom Xun.

Huo Sijin nodded, "Yes, Your Highness." ”

Chu Zheng shook his head, "It's not Your Highness, it's Tianxing." ”

Going to change your tune from now on?

Huo Sijin was stunned, raised his eyes to look at Chu Zheng, only to see Chu Zheng give her a look back, called ah, called Tianxing.

"Tian......" Huo Sijin was just about to speak, when he suddenly remembered something, Tianxing, these two words seemed to be his words. She remembered that in her previous life, she heard Chu Zheng say by chance that Tianxing was a good word that the late Empress Yuanjing had chosen for him during her lifetime.

Chu Zheng's eyes were slightly deep, "What?" Questions? ”

Huo Sijin subconsciously shook his head again and again, "No, no, Changjin usually respectfully addresses you as His Royal Highness, and now he wants Changjin to call you by name, Changjin is a little timid." ”

A hint of discoloration flashed in Chu Zheng's inky eyes, "Huo Changjin is still timid?" You said that you are cowardly, so it is just a matter of deceiving the third prince, there is no need to say it in front of this palace. ”

If Huo Sijin was timid, he would not have fooled Chu Li and the others around the corner.

"Changjin, this palace doesn't like to talk politely to people." Chu Zheng looked straight at Huo Sijin, "Especially you." ”

Especially you, Hongu doesn't like to talk politely to you.

These words fell on Huo Sijin's ears, and he felt embarrassed in his heart, and his cheeks couldn't help but show a bit of sneering, "Changjin ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Zheng raising his hand, "This palace said that I don't like to listen to polite words. ”

So, let alone explain, he doesn't like to hear it.

Bei Yan bit his jaw lightly, Huo Sijin was silent for a moment, and finally spit out two words, "Changjin will not talk politely to Tianxing." ”

From this moment on, Chu Zheng was not the crown prince, but one of her escorts, named Tianxing.

The corners of Chu Zheng's lips raised a slight arc, and there was a sudden smile on his handsome face, "Young Master Huo, you are really smart." ”

Knowing proportion, knowing how to advance and retreat, attacking and defending, it is called smart.

"It's ridiculous." Huo Sijin smiled.

In fact, it will not be difficult to say it once, and then say the word Tianxing a second time.
