"Report back on how Madame's situation is."

In the study, Wen Qiao sat in the center of the top, and didn't give a glance to the subordinates kneeling below, but the subordinates didn't care at all.

"Report to the Major General, now Madame still walks back and forth between the tavern and Zhuangzi, and occasionally goes to grandma outside."

"What is the condition of Zhuangzi and the tavern?" Wen Qiao asked again after hearing this.

"Everything is fine."

Seeing that subordinate said this, Wen Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then let him retreat from his sight.

Everything is fine, what do you want him to do if everything is fine?

Wen Qiao felt more and more that he was of no use to Zhao Qingyan and Wen Zichen, which inevitably hit his self-esteem. After all, I just hoped that Zhao Qingyan could help me if there was something going on, but now that everything is good, it is not easy to help.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Wen Qiao closed the open file on the desk, took the robe next to him and left.

"Today, doesn't the young master come out to eat? Could it be that you dislike me as a mother? ”

Mrs. Cheng asked, her tone was obviously not good, but the people next to her looked at each other and didn't dare to say a word. Mrs. Cheng glared at them, "Why don't you speak?" Dumb? Won't you reply? ”

The older maid took two steps out and saluted, "Madam Huicheng, actually, the young master had already gone out early in dinner today." Presumably, he went to Zhuangzi for dinner as before. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Cheng's anger was out of control. The chopsticks slammed into the wooden table with a loud noise, and one chopstick fell to the ground and rolled a few more times.

She sneered: "Okay, is it that since Zhao Qingyan left, even my mother doesn't want to see me?" I just go to Zhuangzi Zhuangzi all day long, and I see that he doesn't even have to go back to this home! ”

Seeing that Mrs. Cheng was so angry, the older maid picked up the chopsticks, gave the other maids a look, and asked them to change the chopsticks first.

By the time the chopsticks were represented, Mrs. Cheng's anger had already subsided a lot, she looked at the food that had become cold because of waiting for Wen Qiao, got up and walked directly in the direction of her own courtyard.

"Since the young master is not here today, it's not interesting for me to eat this meal, you guys are hot, just pick a few good dishes and send them to my room." Qiu Feng went to prepare hot water and served me to bathe. ”

The maids who were called should be respectful, and the remaining maids looked at each other, and they all saw the jealousy in each other's eyes.

Looking at the candle flame in front of her, Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but feel a little angry in her heart.

This is not the first time, since Zhao Qingyan left Wenfu to Zhuangzi, Wen Qiao has been going to Zhuangzi every day, and he has no idea of staying at home for dinner.

Even if he sometimes said a few words to him, Wen Qiao began to use other excuses instead, and then he sent someone to investigate, and he would still find that he went to Zhuangzi.

What kind of ecstasy decoction did Zhao Qingyan give him? How could his well-behaved son, who is usually well-behaved, be so concerned once he encounters Zhao Qingyan's matter? It's really weird.

But now that Zhao Qingyan has left, things are easier to handle.

Princess Liangguo has not left yet, and she loves Wen Qiao so much. This Zhao Qingyan was also going to marry herself, so now she can match the two of them, anyway, Zhao Qingyan has no reputation, and it would be easy to ask her to ask for a letter of resignation.

Thinking about it like this, Mrs. Cheng called the maid outside in.

"Wait a minute, you go to the door and take a look, as long as you see the young master coming back, no matter how late it is, you let the young master come here, just say that I have something to discuss with him."

"The slave knows."

There was a mist above the tea, Wen Qiao gently cut the tea foam, raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Cheng, and then put down the teacup. "I don't know why my mother let her son come so late? It's definitely not just for tea, right? ”

"If you're as smart as me, then I'll be straight to the point." Mrs. Cheng took a breath and raised her chin slightly.

"Now that Zhao Qingyan has also returned to Zhuangzi, my mother remembers that the princess of Liangguo loves you, right? Why don't you get together with Princess Liangguo? This is the right door. Besides, isn't this conducive to the friendship between our two countries? ”

Hearing this, Wen Qiao chuckled.

"Mother, so you care more about the right family than the friendship between the two countries, right? My son is very familiar with your mother, what is your way of thinking, why did you have this idea, and I know which is more important between the country and the family. Shu'er is stupid, if it is for the princess of Liangguo, then this cup of tea can't stand it. ”

"You're such a fool!" As she spoke, Mrs. Cheng raised her finger and pointed at Wen Qiao, "What is so good about Zhao Qingyan?" Let you be fascinated by her? ”

Hearing Mrs. Cheng say this, Wen Qiao said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The biggest advantage of Zhao Qingyan is that she is not greedy for other people's interests at all. She can start from scratch by herself, and she will not abandon her heart because of any matter, Zhao Qingyan has an original intention. ”

It seemed that she couldn't stand Wen Qiao's tone, and Mrs. Cheng was forced to lean back a little, and then smiled.

"The original intention, in the face of national interests, is it counted as geometry? Even such an independent person must be able to handle these things. ”

Wen Qiao didn't answer, and the air in the entire room suddenly became a little stagnant.

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Enter."

A maid came in, lowered her head and said, "It's someone from the barracks, saying that there is something urgent to find the young master." ”

Hearing what the maid said, Wen Qiao looked at Mrs. Cheng and nodded. "Then, the son will retreat first, and the mother will rest sooner."

Mrs. Cheng looked at Wen Qiao's departing back, and the cloth she was holding in her hand was twisted into a ball.

"What's the matter? Come so late. ”

The person standing in front of Wen Qiao put on a military uniform, and after saluting Wen Qiao, he said: "That's the case, young general, the emperor asked us to move south collectively, saying that we were going to return to the vicinity of the capital." ”

"Moving south?" Wen Qiao lowered his eyes.

Suddenly this order came, and it was directly notified to the barracks, Wen Qiao didn't know what the emperor was going to do, but he still said: "Then let's do it, after all, if you don't do it, it will be considered disobeying the holy decree, right?" ”

"Yes, then I'll do it now."

"This can't be done, the prince of Huai'en Hou himself has a lot of power, and now the troops have to move south back to the vicinity of the capital, isn't the emperor worried that they will rebel?" Hearing what the emperor said, Tobe Shangshu was the first to disapprove.

Subsequently, several ministers beside him also expressed their disapproval.

Seeing them like this, the emperor behaved very relaxed, and said with a smile: "Don't worry too much, if the prince of Huai'en wants to do something, I'm afraid it will be done a long time ago, and it won't wait until now." ”

"But the emperor, knowing people and faces but not hearts, people will change, can I guarantee that the prince will suddenly change his mind one day?" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu frowned and looked at the emperor.

"Don't the Ministry of Rites believe me?"

The emperor said lightly, but his words were completely threatening.

As soon as these words came out, no one in this hall dared to speak out, everyone had their own calculations, for fear that the emperor would say the same about himself.
