Listening to Song Qian's words, Mu Di looked a little stunned.

Song Qian thought that she had regretted it, so she comforted and said, "This ordinary person really can't agree, so I'll ask someone to prepare a carriage to send you back to the palace and explain it to the prince." She turned around and prepared to leave, but before she could take a step, she was stopped by Mu Di.

"Princess, you have misunderstood, the slave is very happy to go. The slave thought it would cost a lot, but she didn't expect it to be so simple and not in the way at all. Being able to learn the craft with the princess is a lifelong blessing for the slave maid, so if the princess does not dislike it, please accept the slave maid." Mu Di hurriedly explained while kneeling down and kowtowing, meaning to apprentice.

After turning around, Song Qian was speechless for a moment, looked at Mu Di, who was not too young and fell into deep thought, and after a few seconds, he stepped forward to help the person up: "Why do you think about learning this?" It stands to reason that a woman of her age should be in the deep boudoir, how could she be in the imperial dining room of the palace, and now she still yearns to go to the remote town of Sulou.

Mu Di lowered her head embarrassedly and replied to Song Qian: "Back to the princess, the slave has no father and no mother, and it was the eldest mother who kindly took in the slave and maid. The lady's craftsmanship is good, she is a famous local pastry master, and the slave maid also likes to make pastries when she learns with the mother, but then the mother dies of illness, and her wish before her death is to want to enter the imperial dining room of the palace and carry forward her skills. But the slave maid is not good at learning the arts, and she has not learned the essence of the eldest mother, so she thinks that if she can learn all the pastry skills in the world, she will be regarded as living up to the eldest mother."

Suddenly, Mu Di raised her head, looked at Song Qian with a little brightness in her eyes, and said, "I have admired the princess's name for a long time, and the slave maid has been thinking about how to learn the princess's craft before, and now I finally have the opportunity, so no matter how the slave and maid have to go, they can suffer any hardship." Besides, she is not hard-working, after all, her identity can already be compared to the chef of the imperial dining room, but she is just in a remote place.

Unexpectedly, Mu Di is life experience, Song Qian's heart was a little shaken, originally she felt that Mu Di was not suitable for learning to make desserts and go to such a remote town to bury her life, but seeing that she was so persistent and determined, she nodded: "In this case, you will stay and study for a few days first, see if you can learn, and then talk about going to Sulou Town, how about it?"

"The slave has thanked the princess!" Seeing that Song Qian agreed, Mu Di was full of joy, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank her, and was immediately helped up by Song Qian.

"The wing room has been prepared for you a long time ago, let the people below take you there, so that you can rest and rest, and we will talk about learning art tomorrow." Song Qian called someone and finally breathed a sigh of relief after watching Mu Di's back leave.

After coming to Ji Changye's study, Song Qian sat down and heard the other party ask, "What does Song Niangzi think of this person?"

Looking at Song Qian's indifferent expression, Ji Changye was faintly nervous, and he had already planned how to deal with it if Song Qian was still not satisfied.

Unexpectedly, Song Qian replied, "Don't worry, Lord Wang, this girl is good, she looks very willing to go, in this case, we can't go against her wishes, I want her to stay and study first, try it." If it's really not suitable, it's too late to say more. But I was amazed that this girl was so young that she would be willing to go to a town in the countryside, and that she would be able to do her best in the imperial dining room." In the eyes of others, Mu Di undoubtedly gave up her good future.

Ji Changye replied, "Your Majesty said that this girl is an orphan, presumably because there is no concern in the imperial capital, and I will only agree to worship you. But don't worry, Mrs. Song, Your Majesty said that he would not treat her badly, and he would send someone to protect her, and if she wanted to come back, he would send her back, and he would not force her."

Song Qian relieved his mind after hearing this: "Since this is the case, I don't have to worry. I still have to thank Your Majesty and the prince for bothering in this matter, and I bother you to meddle in this matter." Originally, it was her own business.

"Song Niangzi is serious. If I know about this, how can I stand by and watch? It's Song Niangzi, in fact, there are some things you can just say to me, after all, we are now ......" married.

When the words came to his mouth, Ji Changye wanted to speak and stopped. He didn't know how to speak, and although it had been a sure thing for so long, he was still a little embarrassed to speak.

Song Qian coughed lightly twice and then got up and prepared to leave

Open: "I remember the words of the prince. I didn't have anything else to do, so I left first." After that, Song Qian left here without looking back.

Ji Changye looked at her back, and suddenly hooked the corners of his lips and smiled.

I finally helped her.

At this time, Changfeng walked in to report the matter, and when he found Ji Changye facing the silly music outside, he stepped forward in surprise and called, "Lord?"

After suddenly coming back to his senses, Ji Changye turned around in embarrassment, changed to a cold tone and asked, "What's wrong?" What's the matter?"

Changfeng looked Ji Changye cautiously up and down, secretly telling himself not to care about what happened, trying to make himself forget everything he had just seen, and asked, "It's Yu Chong and Li Ming, and I hereby report it." As he spoke, he turned and closed the door and window tightly, afraid of being heard.

After doing this, Changfeng said with confidence: "The prince's provocation plan is very successful, and now Yu Chong and Li Ming are already incompatible, and those ministers are also divided into three factions, Yu Chong and Li Ming, who are in the limelight, each have a camp, and there are ministers who don't want to get involved in the grievances between them, so they just watch the fire from the other side and do nothing."

Ji Changye turned around and sat in front of the bookcase, thinking about Changfeng's words, and then he figured out what to do and smiled: "Now the Queen Mother is going to be disappointed." After all, she just said that she wanted them to live in harmony, share the same hatred, and help the prince deal with the opponent together, but she didn't expect to cause this situation now, which is really very different from what the Queen Mother thought, which is unexpected.

Changfeng smiled happily and said, "Lord Wang, what should I do next? If we take advantage of the victory, we will be able to catch them all." He couldn't wait to see the end.

However, Ji Changye shook his head, and explained under Changfeng's puzzled expression: "We can't make a move, because our ultimate goal is not these ministers, what we want to do is to use their hands to bring down the crown prince and the Xiao family behind them, so we still have to wait for them to fend for themselves, so that we can do it seamlessly and not be detected by the prince."

"Yes, it's still the prince's thoughtfulness."

Next, under the control of Ji Changye, the contradictions between Yu Chong and Li Ming became more and more acute, and many ministers also broke out in open and secret battles, each of which was incompatible in the court and in private, which plunged the court into turmoil.

Ji Qirui couldn't sit still at all now, and anxiously asked the emperor to report these things, thinking that the emperor would send someone to solve this matter, but he didn't expect the emperor to be indifferent.

"Father, if you let them go on like this, the consequences will be unimaginable, and when it comes to the streets, how should the people think of this matter?" The most important thing is that this incident happened when Ji Qirui helped the emperor deal with the government affairs, if it is not solved well, it will make people doubt his ability, and he can't control the ministers under him, so can he still keep his position as the prince? For his own sake, Ji Qirui will not let this matter worsen.

But the emperor wrote the words in his hand in a hurry, as if he had taken the time to reply perfunctorily, "Why are you in a hurry? He doesn't look like a prince at all. Now that these things have happened, what's the use of you being in a hurry? Tell me, what's the best way to solve these things?"

Since this matter started because of Ji Qirui, the emperor was curious about how he would solve this matter.

Ji Qirui didn't expect the emperor to ask him such a question, and after thinking for a while, he replied, "Since they can make such a big move, they must not take you seriously, and it is useless to keep such disloyal ministers, so the sons and daughters ask to set an example and dismiss a few serious things, so that other ministers can settle down and demonstrate the authority of their father." After all, only by letting them leave would he not threaten his rights, if he knew that these people were the people selected by the Xiao family to help him, he would probably be even more ruthless than this.

The emperor couldn't help but sneer secretly when he heard Ji Qirui's words.

He didn't expect his son to be so ruthless, he didn't let him see it before, he was really capable.

Ji Qirui observed the emperor's expression, and saw that he did not reject his proposal, and thought that the emperor had agreed, but when he was about to open his mouth to pursue the victory, he was interrupted by the emperor: "I will think about this matter

,Since you don't have anything else to do,Go get busy.,There's a lot of folds and things handed over during this time.,Presumably you don't have any free time, right? Therefore, if there is nothing important, there is no need to always enter the palace to see the court, so as not to delay the things below and make the people suffer. I'll get you out of the carriage, and you'll go back to the Prince's Mansion."

The emperor drove people away without concealment, and Ji Qirui naturally heard it, and knelt down and said, "Yes, the ministers are retiring." He can't compete with the emperor now, so he naturally has to put away his edge, so he can't interfere too much in this matter, but he is afraid that they will threaten him, so he found Xiao Xirou and wanted her to use the power of the Xiao family to suppress these people, at least let them settle down.

And Xiao Xirou was a little embarrassed and overwhelmed after hearing the ins and outs described by Ji Qirui, after all, she was even more embarrassed to tell Ji Qirui that these people were co-opted by the Xiao family to help him, so she could only say perfunctorily: "I will talk to your grandfather about this matter, you can rest assured." Has the Lord Regent been making things difficult for you again?" Looking at Ji Qirui's emaciated face because of his non-stop handling of political affairs, Xiao Xirou couldn't help but feel distressed.

Ji Qirui shook his head and replied, "He has been at peace these days, and there is no conflict with this prince, so he doesn't dare."

"That's good." Xiao Xirou nodded reassuringly.

Ji Qirui didn't stay long because he was entangled in many things, but he kept telling Xiao Xirou before leaving that he must let the Xiao family help him, and he left with confidence after Xiao Xirou agreed.

After sending him away, Xiao Xirou was in a dilemma.

After some struggle, she still came to the Xiao family for Ji Qirui.

"The Queen has arrived!"

Xiao Jianyuan, who listened to the movement, came to the front yard in surprise to salute and greet him, and the second aunt reluctantly took Xiao Junrong to kneel down.

Xiao Jianyuan, who didn't know why Xiao Xirou came, couldn't help but feel a little wrong in his heart, so he cautiously asked Xiao Xirou: "I don't know why the queen mother came?"
