The emperor had some doubts in his heart, but in order not to lose the face of his country, he still said quickly.

Zhao envoys, who were still wearing official uniforms, walked in slowly and saluted the emperor as usual.

"Envoys don't have to be polite." The emperor waved his hand to get people up, and then asked directly: "I don't know why the envoy came this time?" ”

"I heard that the fifth prince recently contradicted the queen mother of your country because of the princess of our country, and the cause of this matter is all in the five princesses, so the old minister specially came to ask for the guilt of Her Royal Highness the princess." Zhao Envoy said with a serious face, and was about to kneel down with his clothes off as he spoke.

Although the envoys are not very big officials, in a foreign country, they represent the whole country, so when the envoys of Zhao come here to meet the emperors of other countries, they only simply salute and do not need to kneel.

Now seeing that the other party is going to kneel down, it is equivalent to them humiliating Fuyang Kingdom, thinking that they hurriedly opened their mouths to stop: "Zhao Envoy, please get up quickly, if you have something to say!" ”

"Nope." Zhao Envoy shook his head, and said sincerely: "This time, the princess is at fault first, and she also provoked Xing Tianze to inadvertently contradict the Queen Mother, causing so many troubles, these are the responsibilities of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and the old minister must ask for her guilt." ”

"The envoy doesn't have to, it was the fifth prince who confronted the queen mother this time, and he is to blame for not knowing the proportion, and he can't blame the five princesses." The emperor hurriedly said, thinking that he would never let the other party kneel.

"How can it be wondered?" Zhao Envoy now wants to kneel down and plead guilty for everything, and insists on going his own way: "If it weren't for the fact that the fifth princess didn't know the etiquette and was rude to the queen mother first, the queen mother wouldn't want to punish her, and the queen mother wouldn't be worried if she didn't punish her, and the queen mother wouldn't be worried because of a moment of urgency, so the origin of everything was because of the princess's ......."

Zhao Envoy continued to talk a lot, putting all the blame on Tao Mingxi, as if Xing Tianze was innocent.

The fault is all on Tao Mingxi, but the emperor doesn't dare to say anything about her, after all, Tao Mingxi is the key to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, if she is an ignorant of etiquette, isn't it equivalent to saying that Fuyang is a barbarian country?

However, if the monarch of Fuyang felt humiliated because of this and went to war, it would be more than worth the loss!

"I can't say that." Thinking about it, the emperor coughed lightly, raised his hand and said: "Actually, the fifth princess can't be blamed for this matter, but the queen mother has done a little too much, the queen mother's original intention was to test and test the five princesses, but she did a little too much, so it caused the five princesses to be dissatisfied, and even the fifth child impulsively contradicted her." ”

He can't help it, now that Xing Tianze's fault has been taken by Tao Mingxi, he can't blame Tao Mingxi for the fault, so he can only aggrieve the Queen Mother for the time being.

"The emperor is right." When he said this, Zhao Envoy seemed to think it was very reasonable, and immediately nodded and agreed.

Emperor: "......"

There was some helplessness in his heart, but the emperor still stubbornly continued: "So Zhao envoys don't have to feel guilty because of this matter, this matter is indeed a little impulsive for the Queen Mother, and I will talk to her about it when I go back." ”

"Then about the prince and the princess...... Xing Tianze has also been impeached a little miserably recently, and he has been affected a lot because of the verbal attacks of those ministers.

"Uh...... "This means that he will solve the matter first on the spot?"

The emperor wanted to settle the account after the autumn, but the other party had already raised it, and he couldn't say it directly, so he had to say: "Cough, although the fifth child is at fault in this matter, the fault is not all his, so he will deal with it lightly." ”

As he spoke, he called Xing Tianze, and the man stepped forward when he heard the sound and stood in the center of the court: "Brother is here." ”

"You impulsively contradicted the Queen Mother, this matter is really excessive, but for the sake of your wife's heart, and the Queen Mother herself is also at fault first, I will not punish you heavily." The emperor first said some kind things, as if he were tolerant and generous, and then said,

"But it's one thing to be lenient, and you still have to be punished if you deserve to be punished, so I'll punish you for a year."

"Yes." Xing Tianze nodded, having no objection to this punishment.

After all, this is already the best result compared to before, and he has nothing to say.

"Remember to respect the Queen Mother in the future, and don't be disrespectful to her old man." After the punishment was finished, the emperor did not forget to continue to find a way to maintain his good image, and said,

"After this time, you will find another time to apologize to the Queen Mother and admit your mistakes."

"Brother obeys." Xing Tianze bowed.

"Then since the matter has been resolved, the old minister will retire first." In Xing Tianze's opinion, the anxious matter was easily solved, and Zhao Envoy made a salute and said hypocritically,

"After that, the old minister will definitely warn Her Royal Highness the princess and let her be cautious in her words and deeds."

said so, and it sounded good, but now that his handle was still in Tao Mingxi's hands, where did Zhao Envoy really dare to teach her to do things?

"Hmm." The Emperor nodded in understanding.

Next, some ministers reported what they wanted to say, and the early dynasty dispersed, leaving only the emperor sitting alone on the dragon chair, looking at Xing Tianze's distant back and being slightly stunned.

It seems that he has a good relationship with Tao Mingxi, and Tao Mingxi will actually find Zhao Envoy to solve the matter for him!

Xing Tianze's status in the eyes of the five princesses at this time was not light, and thinking of what those ministers said when they gave advice to him before, the emperor couldn't help but be jealous in his heart.

The fifth child is getting bolder now, can't he really be plotting a rebellion or something?

……

Xing Tianze didn't think as much as the emperor thought, and after the early dynasty, he returned to the palace in a carriage, thinking that it was Tao Mingxi who helped him solve the trouble, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

In fact, she cares about herself in her heart, right?

Thinking that the other party specially called Zhao Envoy for himself, Xing Tianze couldn't suppress the warmth in his heart.

……

On Tao Mingxi's side, after Zhao Envoy completed the task, he immediately came to her to report the situation, for fear that if he came later, Tao Mingxi would really write to the emperor to tell him about his crimes.

Tao Mingxi can be regarded as relieved, now she doesn't owe Tianze a penny! I don't have to feel guilty, and I feel a lot better.

I had always felt indebted to that man, but now it's easy.

was thinking about Xing Tianze in his heart, but he heard a report from outside, saying that Xing Tianze was here.

Tao Mingxi was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't cry or laugh, this is the rhythm of what she wants, she was still silently thinking about Xing Tianze in her heart just now, but it was only a while later that someone came.
