Chapter 25: The Prince's Court Disputes

"It seems that the prince is going to go to court, so the concubines won't bother my sister." Yao Yuanshuang has been pinching the hour for several days, and she took the initiative to clear the scene when the time came, and the same is true today.

It didn't take long for Lin Erzhen, who was feeding the birds, to carry a bird cage back to the room without saying a word.

Every time she went home from the next dynasty, Song Yanjiao always looked for He Jiusheng all over the house, and the sweetness of the two was seen by everyone in the house, and they were surprised and envied, so they naturally didn't dare to say more.

My aunt also taught the next person on the first day, "Now that the prince has married the princess, they are all waiting for a long time, but the prince has said that if you don't serve the princess well, if you make the princess frown, you will be punished with a cane; Those who dare to disobey the princess and provoke the princess are annoyed, and they are beaten to death with sticks; If you meet someone who is not afraid of death, dare to do anything wrong to the princess, you will be punished by the nine clans. ”

"Did you hear that?"

The subordinates all nodded tremblingly, and no one dared to interject more.

Probably because she was poisoned and assassinated in Zhuangzi, Song Yanjiao had to follow her the rest of the time except for the previous court, and all her dishes and chopsticks had to be eaten by him personally during the meal.

"I encountered something like that before because I was going to enter the palace, those concubines saw that I was unhappy and attacked me, and now that I have become your princess, what are you doing so carefully?"

At noon, He Jiusheng asked while smiling.

"You have to be careful in everything, so as not to give people a chance to take advantage of it." Song Yanjiao withdrew the silver needle and put it in her sleeve.

He Jiusheng noticed that there seemed to be some bruises on the wrist of Song Yan's cash register needle, and he seemed to be trying his best to hide the scar.

He Jiusheng stood up and quietly walked behind him, gently hugged him from behind, pestered him and asked, "What's going on on your hands?" ”

She knew that Song Yanjiao might not say anything, but if he continued to ask, he would not lie to himself.

"Today, above the court, there was some dispute with the prime minister."

"No matter how ridiculous the prime minister is, he won't be unreasonable enough to attack you, tell me, is the emperor looking for you?"

Song Yanjiao is not good at lying to her, the subtle changes in her face were seen by He Jiusheng, which made people feel a little worried, she hugged Song Yanjiao and muttered, "I'm sorry, the emperor treats you like this, it's all because of me." ”

He reached out and took her into his arms, and the sudden movement forced her to sit on his lap all at once.

On the sharp eyes hidden under her close eyes, on the handsome face with deep contours like carving, his black pupils were even more imposing, and he spoke to her gently, "Sheng'er, this matter has never been your fault, it was I who wanted to marry you, but now the emperor is suspicious of me and no longer trusts me as before." ”

"After all, you are also the wife of me, the general of the auxiliary country, and ...... I mean, maybe, one day when the enemy comes to attack, or someone has a bad heart, I will also pick up the sword in my hand and fight until the last moment, you just have to stand behind me. ”

"Lord, I ......" He Jiusheng didn't say half a word, and the unfinished words were drowned in the kisses full of affection, and the sudden surprise was like a storm, her mind was blank, and she only closed her eyes obediently.

"Does Sheng'er rub bruise medicine?" He quietly stretched out his arm and wrapped He Jiusheng's whole body into his arms, and his fingertips rubbed a few times on her smooth neck, making her cry and itch.

"You underestimate me too much, my face is still wiped by myself!"

After finishing speaking, he was about to get up and get a medicine box for him, but Song Yanjiao pressed her awkwardly on his lap, "The healing of the wound on your face also has the credit of this king, should you promise with your body, or with your body?" ”

"Scoundrel, you've framed me three times with this!" He Jiusheng glared at him angrily, and finally knew what the prince was trying to do, she regretted that she ran behind him just now and asked a long question, and still hugged him, what kind of concern is this for the prince? It's clearly flirting!

"Let's go, take the medicine box!" The prince happily hugged the princess horizontally.

"Alas...... I'll go myself...... Put me down! ”

Song Yanjiao: "......"

"What are you doing back to your room...... The medicine box is not in the room! ”

Song Yanjiao: "......"

"Lord, be sober, it's broad daylight, and I haven't eaten yet......"

"It's okay, let's eat now." He seemed to be holding back a smile, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

After some clouds and rain, on the chaotic bed, He Jiusheng lay on Song Yanjiao's lap, happily nibbling on the pig's trotters brought to her by the old aunt with an old face.

She asked while eating, "So, you don't have to go to the court for the past three days?" ”

Song Yanjiao stroked her eyebrows, and said with a playful smile, "Your husband and I have annoyed the emperor, and punished me to go back to the house to reflect for three days, and I don't have to go to court within three days." ”

"How good it is not to go to court for three days, anyway, your three years of money are gone, and it is the same if you don't go to court."

“......”

“……”

Song Yanjiao glanced at He Jiusheng and smiled helplessly, "My princess's thinking is really getting more and more strange. Just ......"

He resumed his seriousness and said, "In recent years, more and more victims have gathered in the capital, and I don't know if there will be floods this year. ”

The prince said that the prime minister and himself have been singing against each other in the court, and what one person says and the other person is doing it.

"Sheng'er, I have always suspected that the prime minister may have acted to win over the courtiers, when you were in the He Mansion, did you hear the news of the Prime Minister's dealings with the He Governor's Mansion?"

He Jiusheng took a bite of pig's trotters in his mouth, and said vaguely, "You know, I don't take care of things in He Mansion, to be honest, you really can't think about it, it's good that I can have a life to come out and marry you, I usually don't care what my father is doing, and he won't let me care." ”

"Some time ago, during the palace test, there seemed to be something unusual in the prime minister's place, and there was a lot of contact with the prefect, I know that you have been wronged in Hefu...... You don't know who will come and go......"

"What can the prime minister and my father do? Could it be that it can also help candidates cheat? ”

"It's not so inferior. Today's queen's mother family is the official department, so the status of Queen Qin is also rarely shaken. Although the official department is an upright official, Queen Qin is an uneasy person, colluding with the prime minister in the court and secretly selling officials and lords. ”

The Ministry of Officials has always been responsible for the appointment, dismissal, evaluation, promotion, transfer, impeachment and other positions of officials across the country, which means that all officials in the country can only be regarded as holding positions through the hands of the Ministry of Officials.

"I have some evidence at hand, but there are so many people involved that there is no way to impeach the prime minister at the moment. The way to attack Xie Anting still needs to be done step by step. ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to get the evidence of their deal?"

"How easy is the evidence? Those who buy officials are the children of merchants or officials, and the prime minister will give them a good way to exchange money one by one, without collecting cash tickets, and all of them will be exchanged for gold secret transactions. And the informants and participants in the buying and selling of officials are different people each time. For example, your father asked the aunt of the He family to go out to deliver a message. ”

"But every person who buys an official will have a receipt in his home, and if this receipt is in hand, it can be regarded as one of the strong proofs."

So Song Yanjiao didn't know where to start for a while.

"I decided to buy an official during the palace exam, so it must be this year's candidates, wouldn't it be good to check those who have money in the family?"

"We felt these clues, but we didn't find any suspicions from the people who were crowned officials after this year's palace examination, most of these people were born poor, and they don't look like people who can buy officials. Your father is a key figure in this transaction, so it may be easier to find out who the official is from the He Governor's Mansion. ”

"Then let's go back to Hefu and find someone to inquire?" He Jiusheng proposed, "I haven't been back since I came to the palace." ”
