Chapter Ninety-Five: Return to Beijing
After staying in Chengzhou for a while, Fenghe has been secretly observing the affairs of Qingzhou.
The crown prince has been lifted from the ground, although the mine in Qingzhou is still in normal operation, but the ownership has been attributed to the emperor, but the right to use has always been in the hands of the prince, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to the prince.
"But why don't I think the emperor is good for the crown prince?" After thinking seriously for a long time, Cheng Ge suddenly thought, if the emperor really feels sorry for the prince, why has he been on the cusp?
And according to convention, although the crown prince is raised under the name of the queen's mother, he is still the biological son of the noble concubine after all. The position of the noble concubine has always been very high, and the maternal family is also very powerful, if the crown prince becomes the emperor, isn't Qin Cao worried about his relatives being in power?
This doesn't make sense.
"Naturally, he is not good to the prince." Qin Changqi took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said softly, "He has always known that I am cultivating power, and he has never intervened to stop him, so you know what he is thinking in his heart." ”
Cheng Ge nodded clearly, that's right. The person who can become the emperor is never simple, how can he not see the prince's small actions.
"Among all the princes, only you and Tai know the strongest strength, and the emperor should also let the two of you balance each other." As soon as Cheng Ge's mind turned, he knew what the emperor's intentions were.
"He doesn't just want me to balance the crown prince, but he also wants to delay the time for himself to give way." Qin Changqi looked unconcerned, he had known it for a long time.
Cheng Ge only thinks that Qin Cao is quite hateful now, but maybe if he really gets to that position, he will have a lot of scruples.
"Okay, let's not talk about this matter, we will go back to Beijing tomorrow, so let's have a good rest today." Cheng Ge didn't want these things to disturb his mood, he originally came here to relax, but he encountered a bunch of bad things.
Qin Changqi shrugged his shoulders obediently, then turned around and went back to his room to rest.
The matter of returning to Beijing was carried out quietly, and Cheng Ge didn't want to see those enthusiastic people gather to see them off, so let them live well. Before Cheng Ge left, he went to take a look at his medicine hall, Chen Qi and Erya took care of it very well, and Cheng Ge was also very relieved.
On the way back to the capital, Chengge was a little depressed, the capital is now a puddle of muddy water, but it can't be done if you don't go back.
"Mother, don't you like the capital?" Qin Mo looked at Cheng Ge's face and asked with concern, "There are still two hours to go to the capital, don't be unhappy, we are going home soon." ”
Go home?
Hearing this word, Cheng Ge's heart warmed. yes, it was the home of the three of them.
……
After returning to the capital, Cheng Ge only felt that his bones were about to fall apart, this carriage in ancient times was really too tired, and he must design a good carriage in the future, so as not to be so bumpy.
"Princess, Miss Zhishu is in the flower hall." But as soon as I entered the door, I saw the housekeeper trotting all the way over, wiping the sweat from his forehead and saying with some embarrassment.
Everyone knows that Zhishu is a high-level white lotus, so she is not popular in the palace now.
"I see." Cheng Ge stretched his waist and lifted his spirit to deal with the annoying woman, "You go and prepare the account books in the house during this time, I'll take a good look at it later." ”
"Yes." As if he had completed his task, the butler hurriedly ran away after saluting. Cheng Ge looked at his back and almost laughed out loud, the housekeeper was really getting funnier and funnier.
When Cheng Ge came to the flower hall, Zhishu was reprimanding the maid next to him with a displeased face, "What kind of tea are you making for me?" Do you know who I am? Dare to entertain me with such tea? Don't you want to live anymore? ”
The maid stood aside with an aggrieved face, not daring to squeak.
"When does the maid in my house need to be disciplined by Mrs. Guo?" Cheng Ge said coldly as he walked in.
Hearing Cheng Ge's voice, Zhishu's face turned blue and white, and he stood up uncomfortably, and then whispered, "Say hello to the princess." ”
Cheng Ge didn't even look at her, sat straight on the first place, and then waved his hand at the maid and said, "You go down first, give you half a day off today, go to the housekeeper to get ten taels of silver, and go home to see your parents." ”
"Yes, thank you, Princess." The maid looked overjoyed, and happily went to the housekeeper to get the money and went home.
Zhishu looked at Cheng Ge's behavior, and was very disdainful in his heart, but he was just a little girl, what was there to be proud of? Just because he reprimanded her a few words, he actually gave him half a day off.
"Did you come to me for something?" Cheng Ge looked at his dankou casually, and said indifferently.
"Did you receive my previous letter to my eldest brother? Does the eldest brother know about this? Zhishu said with a proud look, he doesn't live in the palace anyway, and naturally he is not afraid of Cheng Ge to play any more conspiracies and tricks on him.
"Why bother men about women's affairs?" Cheng Ge glanced at her disdainfully, "What?" Can you still rely on the king of Chang'an for the rest of your life? What are you worth? What kind of thing are you? ”
When the last sentence came out, Zhishu finally couldn't help but stand up, her face was very bad, but she didn't know what to say, after all, this was still in the palace.
"Don't go too far!" Zhishu lowered his voice and said, "Don't forget, my sister is ......"
"Don't mention that my sister can die?" Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Ge interrupted her, flicked the bead hairpin on his head, and said, "Your sister is already dead, so you can use her for consumption if you have nothing to do, does your sister know?" ”
Zhishu didn't understand what consumption was, and was stunned for a while.
"And let me tell you, this palace is my palace, you don't think of yourself as a hostess anymore, including your sister, she has passed away, don't talk about her anymore, you can leave if you have nothing to do, I don't have time to hang around here." As he spoke, Cheng Ge picked up the tea next to him, lifted the tea lid and skimmed the tea leaves.
Zhishu knew that he couldn't please anything, and he didn't want to be angry here, so he stomped his feet and quickly turned around and left.
Cheng Ge sighed deeply and muttered, "What's going on?" I grabbed my hair, thinking that I really didn't want to meet a woman like Zhishu in the future.
Thinking that he still had a lot of things to do, he quickly picked up his spirits to deal with it. Thinking of this, Cheng Ge hurried back to the room. The housekeeper has put all the ledgers on the table very intimately, and the thick stack of ledgers makes Cheng Ge happy and helpless, when will you see so many ledgers?
Not long after opening the account book and reading it, someone came to Zhang Ziling and handed over the post.
