Zhen Guogong didn't think that the emperor was praising him by saying this, so he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "The minister must pay attention to the affairs of the family." Avoid these things from causing strife in the imperial court. ”

The emperor nodded and continued: "Now your son has also followed King Yi to the frontier. I don't know if he will be inclined to Yiwang during this period of time. My opinion is that I hope you can all remain neutral and understand that you are a member of the court, not a person of any one. ”

Zhen Guogong naturally understood, and hurriedly nodded yes, "The minister must remember the emperor's orders." And will tell my son not to get involved in the strife of the court. ”

The emperor nodded, and then talked to Zhen Guogong about something else before letting Zhen Guogong leave.

After Zhen Guogong came out of the palace, the night breeze blew, and he felt that his clothes were already soaked.

Because although he talked to the emperor just now, it seemed to be very harmonious, but he knew that there were many crises here. If he didn't talk or didn't figure out the holy will, then he would probably die in the palace.

At this time, the night wind blew on his clothes, and he felt cold all over.

After wiping the sweat from his forehead, Zhen Guogong returned to his house in a sedan chair.

After returning to the house, he found that Aunt Liu was still waiting for him.

After seeing him come back, he asked worriedly: "You are finally back, the emperor is embarrassed for you." ”

Zhen Guogong shook his head and said, "No, we just talked about something. ”

Aunt Liu was skeptical and said worriedly, "Then why do you look so bad?" ”

Zhen Guogong touched his face, thinking that he was not scared, but he didn't want to tell Aunt Liu to avoid her worrying.

And I also know Aunt Liu. The mouth is not tight.

In case she told her youngest daughter Jiang Duxue, and Jiang Duxue told the prince again, it would become a troublesome matter. So, he shook his head and said, "I just feel a little tired and want to rest early." Aunt Liu saw that Zhenguo didn't want to talk to him, and it should be a big deal.

After all, she has been married to Zhen Guogong for so long, and she knows that there are some things that Zhen Guogong will not tell her.

Especially when it comes to the court, no one will say anything.

Therefore, she can't ask anymore, just settle down and rest in the town.

The next day.

The crown prince learned from the eunuch placed by the emperor's side that the emperor was very angry after watching the song in the evening. Then in the middle of the night, he called Zhen Guogong to the palace to discuss the matter.

I didn't hear what it was because I sent them out.

However, when serving tea and pouring water, I heard it and mentioned the matter of the prince and Yiwang.

When the prince heard this, he was very nervous, and wanted to find out what the emperor had said to him from the prince of Zhenguo.

But he felt that he couldn't ask directly, so after thinking about it, he looked for his side concubine Jiang Duxue and wanted Jiang Duxue to go back and inquire, so he went back to the house and found Jiang Muxue.

Jiang Duxue was surprised and excited when she saw the prince suddenly come to her.

Hurriedly tidied up his makeup and greeted the prince.

After the prince helped her up, he helped her to the house.

Jiang Muxue asked, "Why did the prince come to my garden at this time, but is there anything wrong?" ”

The prince didn't tell her directly, for fear that she would be unwilling.

So he said: "It's just that I encountered some troublesome things in the court today, so I went back to the house to relax, so I thought about coming to you." ”

Jiang Duxue was very happy to hear that the prince actually came to her because she was upset, and felt that she must have a very high status in the prince's heart.

So he hurriedly said infinitely gentlely: "The prince doesn't know what happened, can he tell the concubine?" Even if the concubine can't, she will help you share your worries. At the very least, it can also help you share some of your worries and soothe your mood. ”

The prince took Jiang Muxue's hand and asked her to sit beside him.

With an annoyed look on his face, he said, "Don't mention the affairs of Asari yet, after all, it's annoying to talk about it." I can't guess the emperor's intentions, so I want to go back to the mansion. ”

"In that case, why don't the concubines press the prince's shoulder to help relieve the pressure."

Jiang Duxue said, she was about to get up, wanting to help the prince massage, but he stopped her.

"No need, just chat with me. I don't know, what were you doing during the time I went to the court? “

When Jiang Duxue heard the prince like this, she hurriedly said shyly: "I'm just, painting." Then do what you can do. Although I want to help share the affairs of the house. But now, Concubine Li is in charge of the house, and she doesn't need me, so I'm basically resting now. “

The prince naturally heard that Jiang Duxue actually wanted to manage the Prince's Mansion, but he felt that Jiang Duxue was not suitable, so he let Li Yunhuan take care of it.

At this time, hearing Jiang Duxue's complaints, he thought of what he wanted her to do, and the fact that he had mentioned to himself two days ago that he wanted to ask Jiang Yuntian to come over and help.

The prince smiled and comforted her and said, "The main thing is that Yun Yue entered the mansion earlier than you, and then he did these things more easily." And you, I didn't want to make you tired, so I didn't let her leave things to you. If you want to take care of it, I'll let her give you some things in the future. I'm mainly afraid that you'll worry too much. In this way, your beautiful fingers, as well as your face, will age quickly because you worry too much, and then I will feel distressed. “

When Jiang Duxue heard the prince say this, she leaned on the prince's chest with a shyness and said, "Thank you for the prince for loving me so much, the concubine is really pleased." It's just that the concubine feels the prince's love for me, but she feels a little ashamed that she didn't do anything in the house, and she doesn't want to fight with Concubine Li for anything. It's just that I don't want to be an idler. “

Hearing Jiang Duxue say this, the prince rolled his eyes and said, "Since you want to find something, then you might as well share some things for me." You also told me yesterday that you would ask your sister to come over and help you sort out some things in the house and help us share the management matters. Now, I want you to go to your Zhenguo Mansion and ask your father what is the matter with me when my father sent him to the palace last night. “

"The prince asked me to go back to the house and ask my father, what happened to the emperor last night?"

"yes, aren't you looking for something? I don't want you to worry about trivial things, so I might as well do something important for me. “

"Is this important?"

"That's natural. I went to Asari today because I heard about it and was upset. But my father didn't tell me, so I was depressed. I just talked to you, and I remembered that you might know something from your father. “

Jiang Duxue was naturally very happy when she heard that she could help the prince share his worries and relieve his worries by talking to her father when she went home.

After Jiang Duxue got this task, she was very happy to be able to do things for the prince.

So, I took on this task with a confident face.

After returning to the Zhenguo Mansion, the Zhenguo Gong was naturally happy to see his little daughter come back.

Aunt Liu naturally doesn't need to talk about it, because she hasn't seen her daughter for a long time.

Jiang Duxue returned to the house and saw that now his father and mother were busy around his little brother who had just spoken out.

There was a look of envy in his eyes.

said with great emotion: "I didn't expect that I could have such a young brother." If I hadn't married, I'd have been jealous of him. But now, my sister and I are married, and my brother is often away. I'm glad to have him with you now. “

When Aunt Liu heard her daughter say this, she had a happy expression on her face, and she said proudly with Zhenguogong: "It's still my daughter, so caring." ”

Jiang Duxue said: "My daughter is married now, so she naturally understands her parents' feelings, so I feel that I am relieved to have a younger brother with you at this time." ”

Hearing Jiang Duxue say this, Zhen Guogong was also very happy.

In his eyes, after all, Jiang Duxue has always been Aunt Liu who takes care of her, so she is usually more arrogant.

He was very happy that she could say that.

Zhen Guogong was very happy when he saw what Jiang Duxue said, so he reminded Jiang Duxue and said, "You are married to the prince now, you must pay attention to his side." After all, his identity is special, and you are not the only woman by his side. So although I want to get his attention, I don't want to do too many things to compete for favor. ”

"My daughter knows."

Although Jiang Duxue did not agree with her father's words, she did not dare to refute them.

But she heard her father continue: "Also, as a woman, don't always participate in the prince's court politics, so as to avoid letting others say that women interfere in court politics." ”

When Jiang Duxue heard her father's words, she said with an unconvinced expression: "Father doesn't have to worry about his daughter, because the prince will naturally like his daughter too." Last night, the prince was still staying in his daughter's room. Therefore, the prince still values his daughter very much. As for the affairs of the imperial court, the father should know that his daughter doesn't care, but the prince occasionally talks to his daughter about it, just to talk about it. The daughter was not able to stand in the way of the prince's decision. ”

"That's good, so I'll be relieved."

"When my father said this, he reminded his daughter of my sister, who is now famous. It seems that King Yi is now relying on her support. So if I want to talk about interfering in government politics, I should be talking about my sister. ”

When Zhen Guogong heard Jiang Duxue say this, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but ask Jiang Muxue: "Listening to your tone just now, it seems that you have some opinions about your sister?" It's just that I don't know if this opinion is your decision against your sister, or King Yi against the prince? ”

When Jiang Duxue heard her father ask, her brain was excited.

Thinking, could it be that her father saw her thoughts?

But then she thought about the task she came back today, so she said to Zhen Guogong: "Father don't worry. I'm just saying that everyone else has an opinion about my sister now. As for the crown prince and King Yi, there is no opinion. Because, the crown prince is the one who wants to inherit the throne, how can he worry about King Yi? It's just that King Yi pays attention to his identity. Don't keep doing something, do something to take the lead, do something to grab credit, so as to threaten the prince. makes others think that the crown prince is not the most suitable successor to the emperor. ”

When Zhen Guogong heard this, he said tentatively: "Then the prince only needs to do his own thing, how can he manage it, what do others say?" Besides, King Yi is not fighting for the throne, so why should the prince care about what he does? Even if King Yi's reputation is good, the crown prince is also the emperor's designated successor, so he doesn't have to care at all. Don't worry what Yiwang does. ”

Jiang Duxue retorted: "Having said that, if the ministers in the court say that King Yi is better than the crown prince in the future, wouldn't it be a bad thing for the crown prince?" In case the emperor listens to this, he likes to play with the words of the minister. When the time comes, the prince will be replaced, so what should the prince do? And also. Since my father has said this. I just want to ask, the prince and King Yi, which one does my father prefer? Also, the emperor and his father have always been relatively close. Does the emperor have any dissatisfaction with the crown prince? ”

When Zhen Guogong heard Jiang Duxue's words, his heart sank.

Because he knew that this daughter of his did not have such a deep city.

At this time, she asked him directly, and it seemed that the prince must have arranged for her to come back to listen to the news.

That is to say, the crown prince already knows about his meeting with the emperor last night.

And the prince wanted his daughter to come over and inquire about what he and the emperor had said.

Thinking of this, Zhen Guogong's mood couldn't help but sink.

Because as the emperor worried, the crown prince is the king of the embankment everywhere.

Then, if King Yi is strong in the future, there will inevitably be strife.
