Chapter 275: Another Prince
Ji Changye listened to the emperor's words, and vaguely felt that the emperor already had the intention of abolishing the crown prince, but he was afraid that his conjecture was wrong, so he asked tentatively, "I wonder what Your Majesty plans now?" In this way, it seems that what the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have done is indeed a bit excessive."
"You're right." The emperor lowered his eyes and said.
He still remembers what the Queen Mother has done behind her back for so many years, when he first succeeded to the throne, the Queen Mother deliberately relied on the curtain to listen to the government and hold power, but the emperor did not let her be at her mercy, and seized the power in the hands of her and those ministers, but the Queen Mother did not restrain herself, but intensified her efforts, and has been secretly abusing power and buying people's hearts for so many years.
even did not hesitate to unite with those corrupt officials and corrupt officials to oppress the local people in order to accumulate wealth, and now they are interfering in the selection of the crown princess for their own rights, and they want to do something from it. The emperor has endured it for so many years, because his position as emperor was supported by the queen mother all the way, and he is grateful to her, but the queen mother has done more and more excessively, he really can't bear it, and he is angry with Xiao Xirou and Ji Qirui, who are involved in her.
Ji Changye carefully observed his expression, and after knowing what he was thinking, he said after some consideration, "Then Your Majesty now has the idea of abolishing the crown prince and appointing a new prince?"
He was also fully prepared to ask this question, because once he angered His Majesty, this kind of great rebellion and usurpation of power would definitely lead to death.
So Ji Changye swallowed nervously, waiting for the emperor's next reply, and sure enough, after the emperor heard it, he was a little stunned, and he couldn't believe that Ji Changye would ask this question. However, he was not angry because Ji Changye, as the regent, vainly wanted to ask the future prince about his transgression, but really fell into his own contemplation.
Because Ji Changye's words are exactly what he is worried about these days.
Soon the Emperor shook his head and said, "I haven't made up my mind yet, and this matter needs to be considered more and cannot be acted rashly."
Listening to his melon, Ji Changye also understood what he meant, knowing that he just wanted to solve the dictatorship of the queen mother's relatives, as for the prince's problem, he still wanted to turn a blind eye, as long as the prince didn't do too much, he could get by.
In this way, Ji Changye spat out like a catastrophe for the rest of his life, after all, the emperor did not want to abolish the prince, and if the emperor blamed the words he had just said, he would definitely not be able to eat and walk away.
The emperor did not notice Ji Changye's expression, but continued to ponder how to deal with the Empress Dowager and the forces under him.
After Ji Changye returned to the palace, he originally wanted to see Yuanbao, but he never thought that he heard a familiar laughter as soon as he walked into the backyard, he hurriedly walked forward, but he didn't expect to find that Song Qian was here.
Not only her, but also Yujin and Changfeng are back.
Song Qian touched Yuanbao's head and said in surprise, "Yuanbao hasn't seen it for so long, and it's already grown so tall." Saying that, her nose was a little sour, because she must have felt guilty for not being with Yuan Bao for so long. So after that, she held the ingots tightly in her arms and carefully stroked the back of his head.
Yuan Bao was hugged a little tightly, although he also missed Song Qian, but this was always a little uncomfortable, so he said: "Yuan Bao also misses his mother, but you are holding it too tightly, and the child is a little out of breath." As he spoke, he coughed twice.
Song Qian immediately let go of him and asked him if he was okay with self-blame.
Yuan Bao shook his head and comforted her and replied, "Don't worry, the child is fine. During the period of his mother's absence, the child practiced martial arts with Gu Yuan and Uncle Fei Gu every day."
Song Qian was a little surprised when these words came out, she looked at the smirking Gu Yuan and Fei Gu who were standing next to He Yujin and asked, "Really? What about the ingots? Do you have a talent for this?" She felt that it was not bad to practice martial arts, after all, when he encountered danger and had no time to protect the ingots, he could still protect himself.
He Yujin listened to Song Qian's words, and looked at the two people beside him who had not yet reacted, and said helplessly, "You
Didn't the two of us hear Song Niangzi speak? Hurry up and answer. But after such a short period of time, why have you two become so sluggish? I am afraid that the name of this king will be ruined in the hands of the two of you." After that, he pretended to be helpless and distressed, because as long as it was spread, others would definitely think that they were taught by himself.
Isn't that about his fame?
Fei Gu was the first to react, and hurriedly replied, "Don't get me wrong, Lady Song, the two of us just didn't have a good rest last night, and we didn't react to your words for a while. Don't worry, the little boy is smart and clever, has a lot of potential to learn martial arts, and is a good seedling."
Gu Yuan on the side immediately echoed and said, "That's right, the little boy is very talented, and he is very able to endure hardships, and he follows us every day to practice unremittingly, so if he persists, he will definitely be a peerless master in the future."
Before he could finish speaking, he was touched twice by He Yujin on the side, and then he said, "Do you want to be so exaggerated? Song Niangzi doesn't eat this set. Didn't I say, what's the matter, I'm also your prince, right? But why have you both ignored me since I came back, and have devoted yourself to Yuanbao?"
Changfeng sneered, and said fearlessly, "It turns out that the prince of Jin is jealous. No wonder his face didn't look good from the moment he entered the door, and his subordinates thought that it was the bumps along the way that made King Jin uncomfortable?"
"You're talking nonsense! Where is this king jealous? This king is just ......" and Yu Jin explained for himself in a panic, but the more anxious he was, the more unclear the explanation, and finally blushed and sullen without saying a word.
Yuan Bao walked up to him, patted his arm and said, "Ah Jin, don't be sad, I really miss you very much during this time. If you don't believe me, I'll follow me to my room later, and show you the rare things I've left for you these days, how about you?"
"It's still the ingots who care about me the most, unlike them." He Yujin touched Yuanbao's head, and when he turned around, he saw Ji Changye, who was watching all this not far away, so he asked, "Brother Ji, why don't you stand there and not come."
As soon as these words came out, others also noticed Ji Changye.
Just now, when he saw them talking and laughing together, Ji Changye felt inexplicably worried, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times, but he didn't expect to be fascinated, and at this time, he was found by He Yujin and came back to his senses, walked up to them and said, "Seeing that you guys were chatting so happily, I didn't come to bother you. How's it going, it's been hard along the way."
Song Qian bowed his head slightly.
At this time, Ji Changye began to look at Yuan Bao at close range, and found that he was not only a lot taller, but even his facial features had grown a lot, and he was more and more similar to himself, fortunately, no one had discovered this now, so Ji Changye deliberately avoided Yuan Bao's gaze and said to everyone: "If I ask the best restaurant in Dijing to send wine and food tonight, it can be regarded as a reception banquet for you." Look at the book
He didn't propose to let Song Qian do it, at first Song Qian was too tired, and he had to be busy cooking soon after getting out of the carriage, which was really powerless. Second, Song Qian is not their subordinate, how can he be asked to do these heavy jobs so easily? They don't have any qualifications.
Song Qian also knew that Ji Changye took care of him, so he said, "Anyway, I don't have anything to do, so why don't I leave this matter to me." Prince, don't you worry?"
"Song Niangzi acts, this king is naturally relieved. But you have to rest well after a long journey, and this king will send someone to do it." Ji Changye shook his head without hesitation and rejected Song Qian's idea.
Song Qian couldn't say anything more, so he could only agree.
Although He Yujin was disappointed that he couldn't eat Song Qian's cooking, he couldn't bear to trouble Song Qian, so he said to Gu Yuan and Fei Gu, "Then leave this matter to the three of us. Although I am not good at cooking, I am still quite sure in this aspect of tasting, and I will definitely not go wrong in this matter, Brother Ji, you can rest assured." With that, he led Gu Yuan and Fei Gu out of here and went to the best restaurant in the imperial capital to order food.
Yuan Bao also said at this time, "Mother, the time has come, it's time for Yuan Bao to go to Wen Shu. Wait until the end of the book,
How about coming back to my mother?" During this time, he has unconsciously formed various habits, and when the time comes, he always feels uncomfortable if he doesn't do it, which is very similar to Ji Changye's childhood.
After hearing this, Song Qian felt that this was also a good thing, so he didn't stop him, and let him leave here, and Changfeng also used the excuse to accompany him to leave.
At this time, there were only two people left in the huge back garden, Song Qian and Ji Changye, and the atmosphere was inevitably a little awkward.
"I don't know if the prince entered the palace and everything went well?" Song Qian was the first to speak to break the deadlock between the two people, and asked her own questions, which was also something she was thinking about all the way.
Ji Changye sighed, told Song Qian everything that happened in the palace, and said helplessly: "What the prince has done now, Your Majesty has never taken it seriously. The crown prince will definitely become even worse, and we can't do anything about him at this time, and when he becomes more powerful in the future, what should we do?" So now, as long as he seizes the opportunity, he will try his best to deal with Ji Qirui and not let him have a chance.
But the real reality put him in a difficult situation.
"Fortunately, Your Majesty is not suspicious and suspicious of your mind, otherwise it will be a big trouble. But if you want to deal with the crown prince, there will definitely be a way. I heard that the crown prince has been in the draft for the crown princess recently. Why don't we start with it? Even if you don't get selected, nothing will happen, but if you don't get selected, you won't lose anything. How do you think that's the solution?" After thinking for a moment, Song Qian lowered his voice and spoke.
Ji Changye shook his head and explained, "I'm afraid not, because the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother have already done tricks in the draft of the show girl and have been discovered by Your Majesty, and it is precisely because of this that Your Majesty will come to me. If you go to the top at this time, I'm afraid something will happen."
Song Qian frowned slightly, and also figured out the ins and outs, so he asked worriedly, "Then we have nothing to do, sit still?" We are willing to stalemate with the prince, but the prince may not be able to endure it. And I heard that he has been gaining power lately, which is not a good sign."
