"By the way, Lord Wang, if I enter the palace two days late, will the Queen Mother punish me?"

After a long time, the Qin Dynasty realized that he had only entered the palace to ask for peace now, which seemed a little inappropriate.

"No, it won't."

Xiao Changdui said lightly: "The Queen Mother never cares about this, she likes to be quiet, she just needs to ask for peace."

In fact, as Xiao Changdui said, she took Qin Chaojiu to the Queen Mother's Yikun Palace, and asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye according to the rules, and after receiving the reward, she only said a few words, and was sent out by the Queen Mother.

"Lord Beimu, the emperor invites you to come over." The chief eunuch waited for Xiao Changdui early on the road, and when he saw him coming from Yikun Palace, he immediately walked up.

Xiao Changdui turned his eyes to look at Qin Chaojiu, and Qin Chaojiu smiled: "Lord Wang, go ahead, it's no problem for the concubine to take a turn here by herself."

"There's nothing better here, you go back to the palace first. This king will come back later."

Thinking of meeting Xiao Sulu this morning, Xiao Changdui grew up in the royal family since he was a child, and he already knew about these tricks in the palace.

But Qin Chaojiu was more than smart and calculating.

It's better not to stay here.

Just as Xiao Changwei was worried, before he left, the queen's mother had already arrived, saying that the queen mother had an invitation, and asked Princess Beimu to come over and talk.

Xiao Changdu's eyes narrowed.

Directly to the person who came to pass the message: "Go and tell the queen that the princess is unwell and will not go today."

The palace maid who came to invite people widened her eyes, but in the face of Xiao Changdu's resolute appearance, she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only honestly turn around and go back to her life.

Qin Chaojiu came out of the palace in this way.

On the carriage back, Zhujie couldn't help but sigh: "The prince is really good to you, this woman in the world, since she got married, she has not been a new daughter-in-law and does not make rules, but the prince loves you so much, even the face of the queen mother dares to refute." Z.br>

The corners of Qin Chaojiu's mouth were slightly hooked: "This shows that you, the princess, have a clear mind and a unique vision."

From the very beginning, she fell in love with Xiao Changdu, and she really didn't see the wrong person.

If she is not the princess of Beimu today, but just the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and goes to the palace, let alone the queen mother, or any other concubine who wants to call her over, how dare she disobey.

Sure enough, the position of Princess Beimu is really comfortable to sit up.

When the queen mother heard that King Beimu had rejected her summons instead of Qin Chaojiu, she did not have any displeasure on her face, but said very calmly: "This palace has long expected it, but it is just a temptation."

"Niangniang, Your Royal Highness offended King Beimu because of the stupid Taoist priest before, you said that King Beimu is now angry?"

The henchmen beside the queen asked secretly.

The queen's eyes fell gloomily on the incense burner in front of her, looking at the soothing incense rising in the curl, but she felt a little more irritable.

"King Beimu is the most forbearing, although he has not made a move against His Highness so far, it does not mean that this matter is over. If he doesn't let Princess Beimu come over, it means that he is still afraid of the palace, and I'm just afraid that His Royal Highness will hide what the palace has done."

She had already told Xiao Zhen that in the entire imperial city, the person who should not be provoked the most was Xiao Changdu, but he just refused to listen.

I even hit Qin Chaojiu with the idea before, but I am afraid that this one thing alone is enough for King Beimu to hold a grudge.

At the last Lantern Festival banquet, men and women were seated separately, and when Xiao Changdui came over, she looked at her coldly, and she still felt cold all over her body when she thought about it.

Her son was young, and he didn't know how terrifying King Beimu was.

Xiao Changdui lost her mother at a young age, almost grew up by her and the emperor's side, when she became the crown princess, Xiao Changdui was only three years old, and followed the prince all day long, young, but very indirect about governing the country.

Whether it is her or the other concubines in the harem, there are so many remaining princes, who are the imperial uncle of King Beimu

In contrast, it is completely dull.

The emperor has been reluctant to establish a crown prince, so what does it have to do with King Beimu?

"Hiss......"

Suddenly, the queen retracted her hand suddenly, remembering those things in the past, she was a little distracted, and she didn't realize that her hands were burned by the incense burner.

"Mother, you're all right! Bring the medicine box!"

Several little palace maids panicked and began to treat the burns on the fingers of the queen mother.

But the queen's heart suddenly lifted, and a faint feeling of uneasiness came out of her heart.

At this moment, Xiao Changdui was sitting in the emperor's lower seat, and there was a chessboard in front of the two.

"Old rules, these are the ones you let me do."

Xiao Changdu's gaze calmly fell on the chessboard, and said faintly, "Brother Huang, you took one more word today."

The Emperor raised his head and glared at Xiao Changdui, "At the beginning of the new year, I am a year older, shouldn't you let me have one more chess piece?"

"My brother is a year older."

"Phew!"

Unexpectedly, the emperor did not care about his own image, and spat at Xiao Changdu.

"Tell me, what are you sending people into the palace for now? You say you're really capable! You're putting someone under my nose now, don't you know how to avoid me? I am the king of a country, so you are not afraid that I will cut off your dog's head in a fit of rage."

Since the emperor was able to say these words in front of Xiao Changdu, he naturally didn't pay much attention to it, but surely, he didn't mind it at all.

Xiao Changdui fell into a son, and he was also very honest with the emperor, and said without a trace of concealment: "The princess of the younger brother was not held by accident more than ten years ago, and it is very likely that someone maliciously dropped the bag.

There was a slight pause in his voice, and under the emperor's shock, Xiao Changdui said slowly: "This matter may be related to His Royal Highness."

"That can't be."

Even though the emperor denied his statement, he looked at Xiao Changdui with a look of incomprehension: "The second eldest is only three years older than the eldest lady and second miss of the Qin family, and it is absolutely impossible for him to do such a thing when he is three years old. Don't...... You mean the Queen?"

The emperor's eyes narrowed, and he immediately thought of the queen mother.

Xiao Changwan shook his head: "Brother Huang is too worried, the queen mother is kind, she will not do such a thing."

"Okay, don't sell it to me, tell me, what have you found?" The Emperor asked again.

"Brother Chen investigated that His Royal Highness went to Gushan Town two years ago, and in the winter of two years ago, the snow disaster in Pingzhou, His Royal Highness was ordered to go to Pingzhou for disaster relief, but before going to Pingzhou City, he turned a corner and went to Gushan Town in Pingzhou first, and only rushed to Pingzhou two days later."

"It was also the henchmen of His Royal Highness who privately contacted the princess's adoptive mother, Wen, and persuaded her to go to the capital and go to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion to recognize her relatives."

"Why did His Royal Highness know in advance that the princess was the real daughter of the Hou Mansion, the younger brother is still investigating, and he has already raised eyebrows, and he asked the imperial brother to wait for the results."

After Xiao Changdui finished saying these words, the last chess piece in his hand had slowly fallen.

He raised his head, looked at the emperor, who was already obviously a little angry, and said, "Brother Huang, the younger brother has won."

Emperor: "......"

The emperor unwillingly called the eunuch on the side: "You come and count, but I lost?"

He raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Changdui, how could he lose, from the very beginning, he was deliberately inducing Xiao Changdui to speak, in fact, he didn't care what he was investigating, especially when he heard that it was only about the Qin Dynasty for a long time, and what he said next, the emperor didn't take it to heart.

Xiao Changdui can use two minds, he must be fully concentrated.

There's no way he could lose!

The little eunuch quietly stretched out two fingers and twisted a chess piece into the palm of his hand.

"Your Majesty, you won a son, and it was the Emperor who won."

The Emperor was instantly overjoyed: "Really?! I said, "I must have won!"

Xiao Changdui frowned slightly, turned his eyes to look over, his eyes swept over the chessboard, and after seeing an empty position somewhere, his cold eyes slowly raised.

The chief eunuch kept his head down the whole time, and as long as he didn't look up, he could pretend not to know that Xiao Changdui was staring at him.

The chief eunuch hypnotized himself frantically in his heart: "Look at what I do, what does it have to do with me if you lose, it has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me."

Xiao Changdui retracted his gaze and only said meaningfully: "Sande has been with the imperial brother for more than ten years, and his loyalty is becoming more and more sincere, and he should be rewarded. If the royal brother has nothing else to do, the younger brother will retire first."

The emperor suddenly raised his head and asked in some surprise, "Have you gone to see the eldest princess?"

"Not really." Xiao Changdui's tone was cold.

"She's hit ***, I'm afraid the eldest princess's mansion is not safe, I thought you would be worried." The emperor looked at Xiao Changdui with temptation in his eyes.

Xiao Changdui did not answer.

Silence is already the answer.

"Let's go, let's go, I see you're like an arrow."

The Emperor waved his hand at Xiao Changdu.

After Xiao Changdui left, the emperor stared at the chess game and smiled for a long time, and suddenly noticed that the head of Sande had been clenching his hands.

"What's in your hand?" The Emperor asked.

The head of Sande smiled and put his hands behind his back: "No, nothing."

But if the emperor insists on wanting to know, there is no way for the head of Sande.

After seeing the chess piece that belonged to Xiao Changdui, the emperor suddenly realized that he remembered what Xiao Changdui said before leaving.

The joy I had just now was gone in an instant.

Co-authored or did he lose?

But after thinking about it, the emperor suddenly smiled at Sande again, "Good job. By the way, did you hear what King Beimu said just now?"

"The old slave listened to some of them, but they weren't too real."

"Go and call me for the Second Highness."

"Yes!"

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, although this matter was not designed by the second child, it was inseparable from the second child.

After Xiao Zhen was called over, he was always worried in his heart, as soon as the emperor's uncle left on the front foot, his father called him over on the back foot, how could he not be worried.

"I don't know what my father called his sons?" Xiao Zhen respectfully knelt on the ground and asked.

The emperor leaned forward slightly, put his hands on his knees, sighed lightly and said, "Zhen'er, after this year, you are not young, it is time to spread the branches for our royal family, I am ready to choose a good day and an auspicious day to marry you and the daughter of the Marquis of Yongchang, what do you think?"
