Pei Yaowei had doubts about Pan Ruohui, but this suspicion passed in her heart, which could attract her attention for a moment, but it was far from enough to keep her mind at all times. After all, this noble concubine has schemed to the top, and it is nothing more than two things - the position of the queen and Xiao Zhu's sincerity.

These two things, even if they are firmly held in her hands, are no obstacle to Pei Yaowei.

When the Xuan car stopped in front of the palace of King Chu, she heard some noise outside as promised, and lifted the curtain to see, it turned out that she happened to run into the light dust that had just returned from Zhaoye Temple.

"Your Highness, Niangniang!" Qingchen stood under the car with a happy face, and bowed as if he was like: "Greetings to the two masters, may the masters have a new year and a new year, and be happy forever!" ”

Xiao Di laughed lightly, Pei Yaowei gave her a free salute, and then raised her hand towards her, and immediately came to her happily and helped her into the house together.

A few years ago, not long after His Royal Highness the King of Chu returned from the mausoleum, Qingchen asked for the princess's life and went to Zhaoye Temple to pray for His Royal Highness and the princess, so as to pray for the Lord's health and eliminate the disaster. I didn't come back until this time.

"Are you still obedient in Zhaoye Temple these days?" On the road in the house, Pei Yaowei asked her, "Did you cause trouble?" ”

Qingchen's head shook like a rattle, and he said that he was as well-behaved as a rabbit, and when he started his morning class, he was more than the teacher in Zhaoye Temple.

"When I left, the abbot was reluctant to come! I told her that she had saved me a basket of good words, and when you went to Zhaoye Temple next time, I would say it to you again! ”

Pei Yao snorted twice, glanced at her in disbelief, and turned back to ask Xiao Di beside him, "Do you believe it?" ”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Di nodded without thinking: "Believe." ”

Pei Yao's eyes widened, and she immediately let out a 'hmm'.

Xiao Di glanced at Qingchen with deep meaning, and then pretended to say to Pei Yao mysteriously: "There are people in the temple who are in charge, so she doesn't dare to turn over the flowers." ”

Hearing this, Pei Yao showed a little puzzlement, and asked what again, but Xiao Di didn't say a word. She pondered for a while, and her expression gradually became a little thoughtful.

"By the way, I heard that Mr. Yiyuan's wife and daughter returned with the brigade before, and now they also live in Zhaoye Temple." After walking forward for a while, she asked Qingchen as if she had no intention: "You are in the temple, have you seen them?" ”

Qingchen nodded, and only replied that he had seen it. Pei Yao's strange feeling in her heart became more and more serious, and she couldn't help but glance at her deeply.

That night, before dinner, Gu Zijun was called to the Yuguang Hall by Xiao Di. When he entered the study, he couldn't help frowning when he saw the person sitting behind the bookcase.

Pei Yaowei saw his reaction in his eyes, slowly put the long blade in his hand down, leaned back in the chair, and looked at him with a smile.

"Meet Your Highness," Gu Zijun first saluted Xiao Di, who was leaning on the window and napping, and then turned his head to bow to Pei Yao: "I've seen the princess." ”

Pei Yao raised her eyebrows, glanced at Xiao Di, who didn't react at all, and laughed out loud.

"I didn't expect that I still had this ability - it's only been a few days, and in the blink of an eye, the unruly Zhang Tinghou has been transformed into such a regular and unruly person, and he refuses to make any mistakes!" She pretended to sigh, "When the Hou Ye returns to Dingfeng City in the future, don't forget, you have to ask Brother Ling for a thank you gift for me!" ”

Gu Zijun's face became more and more gloomy, and he asked reluctantly: "Your Highness sent the ministers over, is it just to let the ministers listen to the princess say these words?" ”

Pei Yao was not in a hurry to speak. She looked at Xiao Di silently for a while, not knowing what she was thinking, but asked Gu Zijun: "Speaking of which, I have always been very curious - what is the reason why the Hou Ye is dissatisfied with my participation in government affairs?"

You don't believe me—don't believe in my origins, or do you hate my face and think I'm going to hurt him?

Or, like those old men in the Ming Hall, do you firmly believe that Si Chen, the only way to find your family? ”

Gu Zijun bowed and bowed, cautious in his words and deeds: "Weichen doesn't dare." ”

Pei Yao's smile became even greater: "Ha...... Zhang Tinghou, you did everything that secretly and indirectly wanted my life, why are you afraid of telling me the truth face to face? ”

The library was quiet for a while, Gu Zijun straightened up, lowered his eyes, and never spoke.

Pei Yao lifted the hem of her skirt and got up and walked in front of him.

"You think he's wrongly handing over authority to me, don't you?"

Gu Zijun raised his head and looked at her.

She then asked, "You think I don't have the ability, you think I'm going to make a mistake, don't you?" ”

He was silent, suddenly smiled softly, and only said: "The princess understands people and things very well. ”

"Weichen also hopes that you can prove that the minister's suspicion is wrong."

Pei Yao smiled, "As long as the Hou Ye helps out, I will naturally not disappoint His Highness." After that, she turned around and returned to the table and said, "King Huai'an returned to Beijing, and the Hou Ye must have known about Pan Quan." ”

The person standing there nodded heavily, Pan Cheng fled without dying, this is definitely not good news.

Gu Zijun thought that she mentioned this matter because she wanted to let herself block the news, so as not to let people know, who expected, Pei Yao ordered in the next sentence: "Then bother the Hou Ye, from now on, Duoduo will send people to pretend to be Pan Cheng and walk inside and outside the dust." It is important to let everyone know that after this difficulty, the prince of Guanjun is not only unharmed, but also at the feet of the emperor and the emperor, jumping up and down, and being active. ”

Gu Zijun was stunned, and after reacting, he immediately looked at His Royal Highness the King of Chu on the couch.

Pei Yao said: "You don't have to look at him, he said it a long time ago, let you listen to me." Even if you wake him up at this time, there will be no gain except for disturbing his good sleep. ”

He retracted his gaze for a long time before he held back a sentence: "The princess had better know what she is doing!" ”

"Not only do I know what I'm doing, I know—" she said with a leisurely smile, "It is because there are some things that I dare to do, and you don't, that he will give me this monstrous authority, not any of you." ”

When the words landed, Gu Zijun stared at her for a moment, and at the end she smiled slowly.

He bowed down, and his smile was a little impatient and fierce: "Weichen takes the order, please wait for the princess." ”

Sending this one away, Pei Yao rubbed her temples, didn't care about the person who was still pretending to be asleep on the couch, but remembered what Xiao Di asked herself that night-

'Oh, do you really not like to be involved in these things?' ’

Like it, or don't like it?

Before he asked, she never seemed to associate the government with the word "likes and dislikes".

"Isn't Zijun already ordered to do something?"

A sudden voice behind her pulled her out of her musings, and when she looked up, the couch was empty.

Xiao Di held her shoulders behind her, rubbed them lightly, and asked, "Why are you still unhappy?" ”

She scoffed and said casually, "He didn't want to do something for me. ”

Xiao Di thought about it, but he comforted her with a clear conscience, and asked: "Do you know what is the greatest benefit of these people under me?" ”

Pei Yaowei tilted her head and looked at him.

He told her: "To those who have insight, they have always been respectful of each other, not light. ”

She was slightly stunned, didn't know what to think, and didn't speak for a long time.

Xiao Di waited for a while, squatted down beside her, hooked her chin, and looked at herself.

"Why are you bothered, can't you tell me?"

"You ......" she hesitated for a long time, and finally held back a sentence: "Why are you participating in politics?" ”

When the words landed, Xiao Di was stunned, and then looked at her like a madman.

Pei Yaowei also understood how ridiculous his question was - with his identity, not participating in politics is equivalent to looking for death, in such a situation, what choice does he have.

After thinking for a long time, she said again: "I mean...... If, if you are not surnamed Xiao, if you are just a commoner cloth cloth and can freely choose any kind of life, will you want to get involved in the court and compete for fame and fortune? ”

This time, Xiao Di thought about it, his face relaxed, and he smiled: "Who told you that if you get involved in the court, it must be for fame and profit?" ”

"If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world." He asked, "Why can't I do it for the sake of the world?" ”

Pei Yao was stunned.

The queen mother and the queen mother should have decided to mention the matter of succession, and on the day of the Shangyuan family banquet, taking advantage of the presence of the relatives and nobles of the clan, she threw the matter out in front of everyone, and directly caught Xiao by surprise.

"It turned out that when the concubine was still pregnant, the hundred officials asked for a successor. At that time, the emperor was worried that the concubine was about to give birth, and he couldn't help the cumbersomeness of the ceremony, so he put it aside for the time being. Now that the second princess has been 100 days old, the mourning family heard that the concubine has been raised in Chengyang Palace for these years, and her body is also very good. The middle palace is empty, it's always bad, the New Year's Jubilee, the emperor should also think about it! ”

Empress Dowager Li was thorough in everything she said, and she couldn't find any mistakes or omissions. When Empress Dowager Liang heard this, she was angry, but she had the intention to talk about the identity of the daughter of Pan's criminal minister, but before she could speak, she was interrupted by Xiao Qi first.

"The Queen Mother is right." He smiled slightly, without any flaws: "When the first month is out, the matter after the establishment can be managed." I know in my heart that I will not let the two mothers follow in suspense. ”

Empress Dowager Li chin 'um', her eyes swept over Empress Dowager Liang, calmly picked up the wine glass, and drank lightly.

As soon as the night banquet was dispersed, Yu Wenrou came to Xiao Zhu, sprinkled Jiao for a while, and said that he was unwell in the dragon fetus, and dragged the emperor's holy car, so he wanted to pull it to Qiongxuan Palace. Xiao Zhu didn't know where she was, she heard about the Pan family's succession, and she was anxious, maybe there were many derogatory words and self-interest, not to vomit and be unhappy, tonight, if she stepped into the Qiongxuan Palace, she didn't want to stop.

"Aifei, let's go back and rest first. Lingyun Hall still has some government affairs to deal with, and I can't get out of it for a while. As he spoke, he glanced down at Yu Wenrou, with a slight hint of warning: "You are pregnant with a child now, and your body is the most noble, don't play with a child's temper." I'll see you. ”

Yu Wenrou was full of dissatisfaction, as if she wanted to say something more, but the aunt who followed behind her secretly pulled her sleeve and ripped her words away.

"Yes, the concubine obeys the holy commandment." She said: "What Your Majesty said, you have to remember, when the government affairs are over, you must come to accompany the concubines!" ”

Xiao Zhu nodded, but the smile on his face disappeared the moment he left Yu Wenrou's sight.

Sun Zhifang followed aside, following in unison: "Your Majesty, but directly drive the Lingyun Palace?" ”

Xiao Zhu said 'um', and before sitting in the sedan chair, he whispered again: "Go to the Immortal Palace, Xuan Meng Jieyu come over." ”

Sun Zhifang's jaw should be.
