When Mama heard this, she said respectfully: "Niangniang, the slave maid thinks it's better to let them go, anyway, it is the prince and the princess who offend people, and it has nothing to do with Niangniang." ”

"How can it have nothing to do with this palace, this palace is aggrieved, and tomorrow I may be ridiculed by those people, saying that this palace is incompetent, and as the prince's mother-in-law, I can't discipline him, just don't mention it, go to pass the meal, this palace is hungry." Empress Chen waved her hand and ordered.

"Yes, sissy." Mama hurriedly withdrew and prepared to pass the meal.

Han Jinxiu originally wanted to follow the prince and go to dinner together. But who knew that halfway through, the prince rolled up his hand and coughed lightly twice, so frightened that she hurriedly quickened her pace and walked to the prince's side, and said affectionately: "Your Highness, how is it?" Does it matter? Let the concubine support you back to the palace? "I originally thought that after today's events, I could bring her closer to the crown prince.

Who knows, unsatisfactory, the crown prince Buddha opened her hand and said coldly: "Don't bother the princess, the princess is tired today, so let's go back to the palace to rest early." Ah Yan supported the lonely back to the palace. ”

Ah Yan, who was named, looked at Han Jinxiu proudly and responded: "Yes, Your Highness, the slave obeys the order." ”

Ah Jiu: "······"

Han Jinxiu took a deep breath and told herself in her heart that she had to work harder, and if she didn't give up, she could only watch the prince and his party leave, and then said, "Let's go, let's go back to the palace too." ”

The prince and the crown princess teamed up to expel Zhu Liangdi and Wu Liangdi from the palace soon spread throughout the palace, and as soon as the second princess returned to the palace, she couldn't wait to tell Concubine Xu Hui, listening to her chatter, Concubine Xu Hui picked up a cup of tea and put it in front of her, and said softly: "Drink a cup of tea and speak slowly." ”

The second princess stuck out her tongue and spit it out, pursed her lips and drank two sips, and continued to talk with relish.

Concubine Yang Defei didn't have time to care about the affairs of the East Palace, she came to King Yu, firstly for his marriage with Xu Zijiao, the daughter of the Chengguo Mansion, and secondly, for the third or fourth day of the palace test, whether Xu Zifeng, the eldest son of the Chengguo Mansion, could come out on top.

I just listened to her instructions: "Yuanhong, you have to spend more time on Xu Zijiao these days, to understand her more, and do you think Xu Zifeng can get the favor of your father in the palace examination?" "Concubine Yang De hopes to find a capable princess for King Yu. The father also felt the same thing in his heart, and their father and daughter coincided.

After thinking about it for a while, King Yu replied: "After returning to his mother, his sons talked a lot to Xu Zifeng in private, and found that he was full of wealth, and he would definitely be able to shine in the palace examination, and he was favored by his father, and he asked his mother to rest assured." "For the marriage of the Chengguo Mansion, King Yu himself is also very satisfied.

Concubine Yang De bowed: "That's good, sit down and eat with your mother." ”

"Yes." King Yu responded obediently.

At this time, King Lu was also dealing with Concubine Wu Xian, and he had a good conversation with Xu Zijiao, the concubine of the Chengguo Mansion.

Concubine Wu Xian was very satisfied with this, and said: "Yuan Jun, after your marriage is tested in the palace, the mother concubine will mention it to your father, but you can't let others take the lead." In addition, in a few days, you can ask people to say more good things for Xu Zifeng, so that he can come out on top and win the favor of your father. ”

"Yes, mother, my son-in-law has written it down." King Lu was busy responding, but in his heart, he thought that he would have to write a letter to the county lord of Yonghe when he went back at night, and asked her to mention him more in front of the eldest princess of Jinyang. Whether the two of them can get married, I'm afraid they can't count on Concubine Wu Xian, who makes her miss the daughter-in-law is Xu Zijiao, the concubine of the Chengguo Mansion, not the county lord of Yonghe, and all their hopes are pinned on the eldest princess of Jinyang.

The eldest princess of Jinyang is the sister of His Majesty, who lost her husband in her early years, and Her Majesty is very fond of her, as long as she opens her mouth, this marriage will be completed.

King Lu thought that he and the county lord of Yonghe were in close proximity, and a sweetness surged in his heart, and he didn't listen to what Concubine Wu Xian said next in his heart.

Concubine Wang Li didn't see King Zhan return to the palace for a long time, and had ordered several groups of people to go to King Zhan's mansion to invite, but there was no news until midnight, so she didn't wait, and asked King Zhan to scold him tomorrow. Han Jinxiu still did not relent, no, it should be said that instead of reined, she intensified, she was able to see through Wu Liangdi and Wu Liangdi's scheme, and in front of Queen Chen, she asked the prince to make the decision to expel the two of them from the palace, and even sent the two away overnight.

In the early morning of the next day, Wu Ge Lao personally apologized to the prince in the court, he had ordered someone to send Wu Liangdi to the family temple, and he could not leave for the rest of his life.

Regardless of whether Wu Ge Lao sincerely wanted to thank the crown prince, his behavior was enough.

The prince naturally supported the elderly Wu Ge to get up, and the two ministers were harmonious, and His Majesty was very pleased and praised the prince.

For a time, the government and the opposition praised the prince. When it reached Han Jinxiu's ears, she was very happy, and she drank several glasses of wine for this, thanks to An Mei and Anxin, otherwise she would really be drunk.

March 28 is the palace examination of this dynasty, because of the birthday banquet of Empress Chen some time ago, His Majesty postponed this year's palace examination and held the palace examination today. Early in the morning, Han Jinxiu asked Ah Ling to find two eunuchs to go to the Chengqian Palace to investigate, and then she joined words in front of the bookcase.

Suddenly, she called An Mei: "The clothes that the palace made for His Highness yesterday have been washed?" ”

"Back to the crown princess, it has been washed, and now you want to send it to Your Highness?" An Mei replied, this dress took Han Jinxiu two days, if the prince didn't appreciate it, it would be too much to say.

Pursing his lips, Han Jinxiu said, "Wait two more days, you can put it away first." "She doesn't send it, so naturally she has her considerations. In the previous life, he couldn't put on the clothes she made for the prince to see, this time, the clothes she made for the prince for the first time, hoping to put them on the prince with her own hands, and she will be very happy to look at it and make up for the regrets of her previous life. Wait, let's talk about it when the relationship between her and the crown prince eases!

Not long after, Ah Ling hurriedly walked in: "Crown princess, something is wrong." ”

"Oh, what's wrong?" Han Jinxiu asked unhurriedly, still bowing her head to practice calligraphy.

Ah Ling replied: "Crown Princess, Your Majesty is angry in the Chengqian Palace, and you want to strictly investigate this year's examination. ”

At this time, Han Jinxiu put down the brush in his hand, walked to the table and sat down, and looked at Ah Ling: "Don't worry, you say slowly, what's going on?" ”

From Ah Ling's mouth, Han Jinxiu learned that His Majesty was very interested today, and wanted to select the top and most outstanding people of the Great Zhou Kingdom to enter the court and serve the imperial court. He asked each of the people who participated in the palace examination to say what he had proposed to the imperial court, and he also needed to quote scriptures. Every Juzi said that there had never been such a precedent before, and His Majesty asked Juzi to say it by name.
