Cangxi's thought was a night. Fu Ci waited in the room for two watches and didn't see Cangxi coming, so he had to let people serve and sleep. In the dream, she saw a woman nestled in Cangxi's arms, she didn't really see it, so she ran over. This run broke down.

Cangxi watched her fall to the ground but didn't come to help, and the woman was also smiling at her. The surrounding maids and servants also hid their faces and laughed, laughing at her, the unfavored princess.

When it was almost dawn, Fu Ci woke up suddenly and sat up.

She saw clearly that the woman who was smiling at her was Su Manshuang!

Fu Ci didn't fall asleep again after being woken up, and yesterday afternoon Cangxi clearly said that she was going to come here to accompany her but disappeared. Thinking about Cangxi's attitude towards the Su family, Fu Ci felt up and down in his heart.

The sun climbed up into the sky, and after the room was a little brighter, Fu Ci freshened up and dressed up, and ordered his men to prepare breakfast.

When it was ready, when Fu Ci sent Xiangluo to the study to invite Cangxi to come, he was told that the prince had gone out early in the morning.

When Xiangluo went back to Fu Ci, he obviously noticed that Fu Ci's face was not very good-looking.

"Do you know where the prince has gone?" Fu Ci asked.

"I heard from the people who served the prince that the prince went to the Su Mansion," Xiangluo said.

"Su Mansion?" Fu Ci repeated, and then asked, "Xunyang Su Clan?" ”

"Exactly", Xiangluo replied.

Hearing this, Fu Ci's hand trembled.

Could it be that this is fate determined by heaven, and Cangxi is destined to not be able to avoid Su Manshuang?

"Even if the prince goes to General Su's house, it's not the same as going to go early this morning, right?" Fu Ci asked.

Xiangluo thought for a while and replied: "The slave maid listened to the person who served the prince, and yesterday the prince heard that Su Gongzi's little son could not recite poems because of his father's businessman, and he was very upset, so he went to the market early this morning to buy some books and wanted to send them to the little prince. ”

Fu Ci answered and didn't speak again. She sat at the table alone, holding the rice with chopsticks, but she couldn't hold it, Fu Ci sandwiched it three or four times, and slapped the chopsticks on the table.

"Don't eat, go out for a walk with me", Fu Ci said to Xiangluo who was standing aside.

Xiangluo looked at Fu Ci's appearance, and hurriedly persuaded: "Princess, your foot is still injured!" ”

"Didn't the second lady of the Su family, who knows medical skills, say that this princess's foot is okay?" After Fu Ci said this, he found that his attitude was a little wrong, so he softened his tone a little, "Auntie go out for a walk with me, stay in this house, and be bored." ”

Fu Ci said so, and Xiangluo couldn't say anything, so he could only help her out of the room. Fu Ci's foot injury is not as light as Su Manshuang said, and it still hurts when he lands hard.

In this northern place, the temperature is much lower than that of Jinling, and the flowers and plants are only a small shoot. It is far less than the garden in the palace of Jinling City Seal.

"The prince seems to value the Su family very much?" Fu Ci still asked uneasily.

Xiangluo nodded, "Yesterday, a slave maid also heard from Hongyu that the prince asked Cang'er to inquire about the situation of the Xunyang Su clan in the past few years. ”

"How is Cang'er inquiring?" Fu Ci hurriedly asked.

Xiangluo smiled, "Princess, you also know that if this kid Cang'er went to inquire about it, who would be able to ask if the prince didn't approve it?" ”

"It's not right for my aunt to say this, our prince has nothing to hide from the princess", Cang Er suddenly jumped down from the tree and said.

Xiangluo was startled, patted Cang'er on the shoulder and said, "You monkey spirit, how did you climb to the tree?" ”

Cang Er scratched his head and said with a smile: "The prince ordered not to let his subordinates tell the princess and aunt, saying that he wanted to surprise the princess." ”

Xiangluo smiled, "You've learned to sell guanzi!" ”

"The princess just cares about being happy, and this worrying job is done by the prince and his subordinates!" Cang Er said.

Fu Ci smiled, and then suddenly asked as if he thought of something: "Why didn't the prince take you to Su Mansion?" ”

When he mentioned this, Cang Er became angry and said angrily: "It's not red jade yet!" ”

"Ruby?" Fu Cifa asked.

"Yes", Cang'er then complained to Fu Ci: "Hongyu heard that the prince said that there was a cute young master in the Su Mansion, so she insisted on going with the prince. Therefore, the subordinates can only climb to the tree to see where it is most suitable to chisel a warm ......", saying this, Cang Er suddenly realized that he had lost his mouth, and hurriedly said: "The subordinates didn't say anything!" The princess didn't hear anything! ”

After Cang'er finished speaking, he ran away without waiting for Fu Ci to react.

Xiangluo smiled, "This kid." ”

"Cang'er is a lot more lively than before," Fu Ci said.

"Yes, this kid is much more silent than his peers. Fortunately, he and the princess are not as strict as Su Ri", Xiangluo said, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and even his eyebrows were a little warm.

Fu Ci saw the love in Xiangluo's eyes very seriously, "Auntie seems to be particularly concerned about Cang'er?" ”

Xiangluo smiled, "The princess smiled. The slave maid originally had a nephew, and if she lived, she would be as old as Cang'er. ”

Fu Ci had heard someone say that Aunt Xiangluo next to Mrs. Qiu had a brother. Tragically, her brother's family died.

Thinking of this, Fu Ci stopped and said softly: "It's Porcelain's fault to let my aunt mention the sad past again." ”

"The princess is serious", Xiangluo smiled and patted Fu Ci's hand and said softly.

Fu Ci didn't speak again, and continued to walk around the courtyard with Xiangluo.

Besides, Cang Xi has already presented those two letters to Su You.

After reading these two letters, Su You let out a long sigh.

There are only three words on the letter that Chen Qiushi left to him - King Zuoxi.

But the letter given by the Empress Dowager Fu Yingge is as many as three pages.

In the letter, Empress Dowager Fu told Su You about this change in the court. At the end of the letter, he also hoped that Su You could return to the court and assist Zhou again.

Cangxi didn't know what Fu Yingge said in the letter, but he believed that Fu Yingge would never do anything harmful to Chengzhou.

"The prince will take a look at the letter from the Queen Mother", Su You said, and handed Fu Yingge's letter to Cangxi.

Cangxi hastily skimmed through the letter, not knowing how to speak for a while.

He originally thought that Fu Yingge's letter would beg Su You to help him, but he didn't expect Fu Yingge's letter to let Su You return to the court and assist Zhou Ze.

Seeing that Cangxi didn't speak, Su You took the initiative to say: "It stands to reason that the grass people should do their best for the court and die." It's just—", Su You didn't say any more, but sighed.

Cangxi knew what was going on in his heart. At the beginning, Emperor Gaozong's release of military power caused many generals to be dissatisfied. Chen Qiushi and Su You were angry for a while, angrily slammed the general's order, stayed away from the court, and did not ask about the world.

"The grass people believe that Qiu Shi's vision will not be wrong, and they also believe that if it weren't for the miasma of the imperial court now, the Queen Mother would never let the grass people go out of the mountain to assist Zhou," Su You said unceremoniously.

"This king also knows the difficulties of his predecessors. Come here today, Quan should come to visit old friends on behalf of Chen Qiushi's predecessors," Cangxi said.

Su You saw that Cangxi was so generous, so he waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness", after speaking, he clapped his hands and ordered someone to serve tea.

Cangxi took a sip of tea, which was inferior to the lowest tea he had drunk in Jinling City.

Seeing that Cangxi's movements had stagnated, Su You said with some embarrassment: "The prince can make do with two sips, this tea is already Qiu Ye's best." ”

Already Qiu Ye's best?

Cangxi knows that Beifan does not grow tea, but he will not call such inferior tea a good tea!

Seeing Cangxi's doubts, Su You explained: "Although my Su family has made a lot of money in business, in this Qiu Ye, all the good things have been detained by the officials, even if they have money, they can't buy high-quality items." ”

Hearing this, Cangxi put down the teacup and asked: "Since Emperor Gaozong ascended the throne, I have been free to buy and sell in Zhou, how can I say that I can't buy good things with money?" ”

"Alas", Su You sighed, "The prince doesn't know anything. This Qiu Ye's magistrate is all under He Chu's orders. He Chu relied on himself as the uncle of the current emperor to do whatever he wanted in this area. Yesterday, the prince saw that his son-in-law was molesting the old man's little daughter, and this kind of thing happened to Qiu Ye from time to time. It is said that this He Gongzi already has eighteen aunts......"

What Su You said later, Cangxi didn't remember it in his heart. There is such a big dumb official here, no wonder everyone says that the north is barbaric!

Twenty years ago, Beifan was governed by Cangqing. At that time, Qiu Ye could be said to be the richest territory in the entire north. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the officials are all clean. It's a world away from today.

It's just that in the end, Cangqingke died in a foreign land, and the set of laws he implemented in Beifan also died. Up to now, Beifan has changed one official after another, and the people's oil and water have long been drained, and this territory has become a wild land in the mouths of the people.

"If the emperor has his uncle in his heart, why should he be an official in Beifan, this king will pull this Governor He off the horse!" Cangxi said.

Su You didn't say anything. He Chu's influence in Qiu Ye is great, and most of the local officials are also his protégés, so it is still a little difficult to eradicate them all at once.

This northern land has what it is now, and the bad thing is that it is not responsible for punishing the people. If there is a big rectification of the north, the officials who have been pulled off the horse will have to be more than 20 people.

Nowadays, there are few people who can be used in the government and the opposition. If there is such a big gap in the officials suddenly, the imperial court will inevitably cause civil strife if it cannot make up for it.

Rather than civil strife, it is better to raise these corrupt officials.

Cangxi took another sip of tea, and suddenly heard a young boy's voice outside the door, "Grandfather, grandfather—"

Cangxi put down the cup, and the little boy had already run in front of Su You, Su You rubbed the little boy's hair, which was neither long nor short, and said very lovingly: "Why don't you go over and say hello to the Lord Regent?" ”

The little boy answered, walked up to Cangxi, saluted Cangxi's eight classics, and said in a very immature voice: "Say hello to the prince regent." ”

Cangxi smiled and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, "How old is the little boy, what is it called?" ”

The little boy waved his hand towards Cangxi, and said with a milky voice: "Six and a half years old, called Su Ziwen." ”

"Su Ziwen?" , Cangxi pinched his fleshy little face, "This is a good name!" ”

Cangxi said, took Su Ziwen's little hand and walked to the table, and said, "Come and see what this king has brought you." ”

Hongyu handed the book that Cangxi bought from the bazaar this morning to Cangxi, Cangxi squatted down and patted Su Ziwen on the shoulder, "Do you like it?" ”

Su Ziwen held the book and grinned: "I like it!" ”

Su You coughed, Su Ziwen ran up to him with his little short legs, and bowed, "Grandfather, can my grandson accept the gift from the prince regent?" ”

Su You looked at his little grandson and sighed, Cangxi saw Su You's situation, stood up, "This king sees that the little boy likes to read, and this gift is not a gift, so let the little boy accept it." ”

"Alas-", Su You sighed, and then said: "It's not that the prince doesn't know that the descendants of this businessman are not allowed to study and test their fame. But this kid, alas, ......", Su You couldn't go on.

"The law of Chengzhou is unreasonable, and it is time to abolish it. If the seniors are willing, it is better to let the little prince be an apprentice to this king, and this king is willing to teach scriptures and pass on martial arts. ”

Without waiting for Su You to speak, Su Ziwen blinked his big watery eyes and asked, "Really?" ”

Cangxi smiled at the child, "Really." ”

Su You sighed again, "Since the prince likes this child, the old man has no reason to stop him." The old man didn't hope that this child would get ahead, he only hoped that he would live a safe life. ”

Seeing that his grandfather agreed, Su Ziwen was very happy and pulled the corner of Su You and said, "Thank you, grandson, grandfather!" ”

Su You rubbed the child's hair and said with a smile: "Why don't you go and give tea to your master?" ”

When Su Ziwen heard this, he was held by the nurse and picked up Cangxi's teacup from the table, and kowtowed to Cangxi, "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship." ”

Cangxi received three kowtows from the child, and after drinking the tea he handed over, he hurriedly helped Su Ziwen up, "If you have time in the future, you will go to this palace, turn around the first mansion in the east of the city, and there is a plaque on it that reads 'Regent Palace' The four big characters", Cangxi finished speaking, looking at Su Ziwen blinking as if he didn't understand, Cangxi pointed to Hongyu and said: "If you don't know, let this sister pick you up in the future?" ”

Su Ziwen rubbed his dull hair, stared at the Hongxia Sword in Hongyu's hand and asked, "Does this beautiful sister know martial arts?" ”

His innocence made Cangxi and Hongyu laugh.

"Naturally," Hongyu said and bent down, "In the future, I will protect the little boy on the way to and from school?" ”

Su Ziwen smiled sweetly at Hongyu, "Thank you, Sister Beauty." ”

Su You looked at his grandson's appearance of not being afraid of life and laughed, "In the future, the prince will bother." ”

"The seniors are serious", Cangxi arched his hand and said, and then looked at the sky outside, "The hour is not early, and this king will not bother." ”

"Can the prince have a light meal and then leave?" Su You said.

Cangxi smiled politely, "This king didn't tell the princess when he got up and went out this morning, and she should be worried when she goes back late." The seniors were kind, and Cangxi understood it. ”

Su You smiled, "Since this is the case, the old man will not keep the prince." ”

Cangxi responded, then bent down and put his hand on Su Ziwen's shoulder, "Tomorrow morning, this king will let this beautiful sister come and pick you up to take you to the palace, okay?" ”

"Good!" Su Ziwen responded.

Cangxi pinched Su Ziwen's smiling face again, and then saluted Su You again before leaving Su Mansion. Su You and his entourage sent them to the door, and the two exchanged a few more words of greeting before parting.

After Cangxi left the Su Mansion, he did not go back to the Regent's Mansion directly, but went to the east of the city to buy a jujube cake for Fu Ci. When she left today, she hadn't woken up yet, and Cangxi couldn't bear to wake her up, so she went out without saying a word. If you don't return on this day, Fu Ci should be worried.

When Cangxi returned home, it was already dark. Fu Ci put the prepared meal on the table and nestled himself back on the bed.

Cangxi didn't see Fu Ci at the dining table, and hurriedly rushed to Meng Yan and Meng Jing who were standing aside, "What about the princess?" ”

Meng Yan was a little bolder, so he took the initiative to take Cangxi's words, "Back to the prince, the princess said that she was tired, so she should rest first." ”

"Tired?" Cangxi frowned slightly.

Meng Yan responded, and when she saw Cangxi's expression, her voice was a little quieter, "The princess injured her foot yesterday, and today she has been in the garden for a long time, and she planted some flowers and plants in the garden with Aunt Xiangluo, so she went back to the room early." ”

After listening to Meng Yan's speech, Cangxi went out without saying anything and went straight to Fu Ci's bedroom.

Cangxi walked to Fu Ci's courtyard, standing at the gate of the courtyard, Cangxi saw that the lights in the house had been extinguished, Cangxi wanted to push the door in but was stopped by Xiangluo, "The princess is asleep, please go back." ”

"This king will go in and have a look, and never wake her up", Cangxi was about to go inside after speaking.

Xiangluo stood at the door one step ahead of Cangxi, "The master said that the prince must be tired after a hard day's work, and the princess knew that you didn't have dinner so she left the meal on the table, so the prince please." ”

Fu Ci didn't see him?

"What's wrong with Porcelain?" Cangxi asked.

"The prince is too worried", Xiangluo bowed and didn't want to talk to Cangxi anymore.

Seeing that Xiangluo was leaving, Cangxi hurriedly stopped, "What's wrong with her feet?" ”

Xiangluo turned around when he heard this, and said, "The doctor said that he injured his tendons and had to take care of it for a few days." ”

"Auntie, let this king go in and have a look", Cangxi finished speaking and was about to enter the door.

Xiangluo stopped Cangxi again and sighed: "Don't worry, the slave said something you don't like to hear, today it is not the old slave who wants to stop the prince, but the princess ordered the slave and maid to stop the prince from the door." ”

"Why?" Cangxi asked, no longer like his usual unattainable appearance.

"The slave doesn't know", Xiangluo didn't pay attention to Cangxi after speaking, and planned to push the door into the house.
