The prince went to court early. Although the emperor rarely goes to the court, the ministers' folds cannot be handed to the emperor, and most of them are approved by Cao Baoli and Tian Jun. The emperor is delegating power, and the prince has no rights

But the early dynasty had an advantage, the prince could listen to what everyone had said when the ministers handed over the folds, and they could understand all aspects of the situation. Sun Yanxi is the one of their group who is most familiar with the imperial calendar, and this is also due to Gu Mansheng.

Once the two of them were idle at home, Sun Yanxi remembered that there was a case in his hand to check the legal basis, so he went through half of it in the study. Gu Mansheng came in with refreshments and tilted his head to see what he was looking for.

"Look at this case: first, someone was killed, Jin Yiwei went to investigate, Jin Yiwei was killed during the investigation, and the three were mistakenly beheaded as murderers, and in another case, the murderer confessed that he was the real murderer of this case, but how to deal with the three people who were mistakenly chopped? At that time, there was no law to follow as to how the officials who misjudged the case should deal with it. Sun Yanxi pointed to a pile of books spread out on the table.

"Is there a precedent to follow in the cases that have been adjudicated in the past dynasties?" Gu Mansheng asked.

Sun Yanxi smiled: "You don't plan to have your husband, do you?" If only I could get into the pile of cases and nothing else. ”

Gu Mansheng looked at the pile of case files that Sun Yanxi brought back, pursed his lips and smiled: "Let me try, maybe it won't take that long." ”

For a few days, Gu Mansheng sat in Sun Yanxi's study when she had nothing to do, looked through the final trial cases, and finally, she handed Sun Yanxi a few pages, she divided the case files into two categories: those with legal basis and those without evidence, and those that could not be based were divided into criminal and civil cases, and they were also subdivided into whether to turn over the case and retry it.

Sun Yanxi looked at it carefully, hugged Gu Mansheng in his arms, and kissed him fiercely: "If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?" With Gu Mansheng's inspiration, Sun Yanxi also began to focus on the omissions in the code, and every time he had an idea, he went to discuss it with the prince and Shen Congxi, and over time, the prince also accumulated a lot of experience.

When the crown prince was in the court, he saw that some things that could not be approved by the report, as long as there was a law to follow, or what the calendar did not prohibit, he privately asked Shen Congxi to remind the minister of the report that there was a workaround that could solve the problem. As a result, the outer study of the East Palace is also getting busier.

The prince simply transferred Shen Congxi to the James Mansion as a young Janese, which made it more convenient for him to follow him. The people of the Prince's own James Mansion do not shy away from it, but the ministers cannot get close to the prince at will. In order to protect the crown prince, some ministers conveyed it through Cheng Hanbai and Sun Yanxi, and some ministers were even willing to meet with the prince in disguise.

Today was the day of rest, and Haitang and Xie Ruijiao discussed that they were going to the village for a walk. But as soon as they left the palace gate, their brother Cheng Hanbai and their brother-in-law Sun Yanxi were there early, and the two only lifted the curtain to look at their sister, and then pulled the prince to get on the horse and run away. Xie Ruijiao only had time to turn around and shout: "Go back and wait for me!" ”

Haitang didn't want to stay outside, so she and Shuang'er went all the way back to the East Palace. As soon as I entered the palace, I heard Mama Wu scolding a palace maid: "Cheap embryo!" I can't sweep the floor. If you cry again, you will be punished to go to the West Courtyard on an errand! ”

Unexpectedly, the crown princess went and returned, and Mama Wu hurriedly lowered her head and smiled. Begonia didn't hear it, and walked over directly. After entering the inner hall, Haitang called Mama Cui to question.

"West Courtyard? I was assigned to the original Mama Han in charge of the West Courtyard, but I didn't ask much. "Mama Cui. Cui Mama is a housekeeper who will delegate power, she divides the affairs of the East Palace into several large parts, each of which has a steward, and the steward has a certain authority, and she does not need to ask about everything.

Mama Han, like Mama Wu, was originally sent by the queen to the East Palace to summon the prince, but Mama Wu pressed her everywhere, and she didn't show it obviously. Now, Mama Wu is in charge of the sprinkling and the outer courtyard, and Mama Han is in charge of the western courtyard.

Begonia winked at Frost, and Frost went out. After a while, she brought back a palace maid. This palace maid is the one who Mama Wu scolded just now.

"Back to Niangniang's words, several concubines live in the West Courtyard, grandmothers, they have never served the prince, and their identities are the same as ours. In fact...... Their food and clothing have long been deducted by Mama Wu and Mama Han, and the palace maids who accompany them inside are even more insecure...... Mammas, threaten us by going to the West Courtyard to be palace maids......" The palace maid has palpitations.

When Mama Cui heard this, her old face turned red, and she hurriedly lowered her head and said: "Damn it, slave maid, I listened to the words of those two old people on weekdays, and I thought that everything was normal when the wind and waves were calm, but I didn't expect them to do things in secret......"

Haitang had never entered the West Courtyard, and she was also curious about such a place under her nose. She got up and walked out: "Mama Cui, you go with the main palace to see, is this West Courtyard the territory of the East Palace?" ”

Mama Han was moving a circle chair to sit on the verandah to bask in the sun, and suddenly saw a group of people hugging the princess into the west courtyard, and quickly got up to greet her, but she didn't expect to stand up, her knees were obviously weak, "oops", and she sat back with another butt in pain.

Mama Cui was angry when she saw Mama Han, and when she saw that she was still clinging to the demon in front of the crown princess, she was about to step forward to reprimand her for being rude, but Haitang stopped her and stepped forward by herself. Mama Han slid down from the circle chair, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to the princess again and again: "Slaves and maids should be damned!" Slaves and maids should be damned! ”

"Mama Cui, go and help Mama Han up, she can't stand with joint pain, let her sit down." Begonia smiled. Waiting for Mama Han to sit down, Haitang said again: "Mama Han, you have pain in your limbs, heavy shoulders and back, and beriberi, has it been a while, right?" ”

Hearing the news, several concubines who rushed to meet the crown princess were as surprised as Mama Han. Unexpectedly, the crown princess didn't even need to check the pulse, so she knew Han's illness clearly. Don't someone in the West Courtyard make a report, right?

"Ji'er, prescribe a angelica pain soup for Mama Han, and add papaya, self-defense, and Mutong to help her relax her muscles and dissolve dampness." The crown princess said lightly: "Since your legs and feet are inconvenient, let's take a walk and take a look by ourselves." ”

didn't wait for Mama Han to speak, and the princess led people straight inside. There is a large garden behind the west courtyard, which used to be planted with flowers, but no one took care of it, and they all died, and wild grasses and wild flowers grew on their own.

"Mama Cui, ask someone to sort out this garden, and we will grow some wild chrysanthemums, dandelions, and green wood incense and other commonly used herbs." The crown princess smiled, her eyes fell on Silan, and she said, "Silan, you have the word 'Qian' in your name, do you know the role of madder?" Silan was suddenly named by the crown princess, and thought that her heart was known by the crown princess, so she was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head.

Name? The names of slaves and maids are given by their masters, who knows what they mean?

When the crown princess saw that she didn't speak, she explained to herself: "Madder can cool blood and stop bleeding, and remove blood stasis." Including our woman's menstrual irregularities, it can also be treated with it, it is a good thing. ”

"Crown Princess, you know so much!" Zizhu envied: "I've seen all those herbs of yours, but I don't know what to use......

"There are only two female doctors in the palace, and they are too busy to serve the ladies. When we palace maids are sick, we can only go to the imperial pharmacy to ask for some medicine, and as for whether we eat well or not, it depends on our fate. "Qingmei has seen it with her own eyes, the palace maid Muxiang suddenly had abdominal cramps, and the housekeeper mother grabbed two pairs of medicines for her, and it didn't work, and the pain didn't work all night, and the second was carried out of the palace and disappeared.

Begonia smiled: "What's so difficult about this? If I teach you how to grow herbs, I will teach you how to heal them. And if you don't get sick yourself, you won't get the wrong medicine, and it is possible to learn and cure diseases in the future, even if you practice medicine. ”

Cai Qin hurriedly arrived: "Niangniang's study is full of medical books." The slave is willing to learn medical skills from Niangniang, even if I am released from the palace in the future, I have the ability to support myself. ”

Hearing her say this, Qingmei and Biju also smiled: "Niangniang, we also have to learn." I don't waste my days sitting here in vain......"

Haitang walked out and said to Mama Cui: "You go around again, see if there is such an idle garden in the East Palace, let's go and ask for more seeds and medicinal seedlings to come back." ”

Mama Han, who was nested in a chair in the room, listened to the palace maid's smiling description, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: The East Palace has changed its master after all!
