Chapter 301: She Broke the Jar and Shattered
The Queen Mother listened to Ji Changye's words, and replied meaningfully: "The regent probably knows some truths in the court, in this case, it is better to ask the regent to take action, and behave these people in a proper manner, which can be regarded as a clean family for the mourning family."
Her tentative words, how could Ji Changye not hear them, and she knew that the power of the Queen Mother in the previous dynasty should not be underestimated, and it was not strange for her to know that she was meddling in this matter, but Ji Changye did not intend to follow her words, but said: "The Queen Mother is serious, if you want to keep these people away from you, isn't it still a matter of one sentence? Where will it be the turn of the ministers?"
"Don't be modest, regent, no matter how you say this, these are all caused by the affairs of the previous dynasty, although it is inconvenient for the mourning family to get involved in these, so it is more reasonable for the people of the previous dynasty to solve it. Both the mourning family and His Majesty can trust you, so they naturally want you to take over this matter, but the regent will not agree, but is there anything unspeakable?" The Queen Mother's tone was strange, as if she was asking if they were deliberately hiding something, but Ji Changye was calm and did not see anything by the Queen Mother.
The emperor watched the tension between the Queen Mother and Ji Changye, and in order to prevent the situation from developing uncontrollably, he interrupted the two of them in time: "Queen Mother, this matter really has nothing to do with the regent, and it won't help to hand it over to him, so I will send someone to investigate this matter, and please let the Queen Mother relax."
Hearing the emperor intervene in this matter, the Queen Mother couldn't say anything more, so she could only reply: "Since Your Majesty can let people handle this matter, the mourning family is naturally relieved, and the mourning family has nothing else to do, so they left first."
Seeing the Queen Mother get up and leave, Ji Changye sighed helplessly, and turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, it must be that the Queen Mother already knows what we are doing, so it will definitely have an impact on our next plans, so why don't you stop the Queen Mother, so that she can't do it."
"After all, we are not of the same mind as the Queen Mother, how can we know what she is thinking? If you want to stop it, where do you start to stop it? It's better to take this matter one step at a time, and be able to respond in time, right?" The emperor also began to have a headache about this matter, because he really didn't expect that what they had done was so hidden that they could still let the Queen Mother find out, and she was already preparing to meddle in this matter. It seems that they still have to be more careful not to be caught.
When Ji Changye was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and said what he thought to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the protégés of the few families who were let go in the Guozijian before, the ministers should also bring a few, and it would be better if it was someone from their family."
"Why? Do you already have an idea? Even so, let me hear it." Although the emperor had roughly guessed why Ji Changye came up with this idea, he still wanted to hear his plan, so he asked him to sit down in front of him and start listening.
"If the people of these families are finally chosen, but they are not treated fairly, or even favoritism, because of the Queen Mother's mother's family, then what should these families do? After all, they also make a living from errands in the court, and if something unfair, they will definitely be indignant." Ji Changye couldn't wait to say what he thought.
If it was really not much different from what he had guessed, the Emperor said, "You mean to let me deliberately favor the people of the Queen Mother's family, snub them, make them feel unbalanced in their hearts, and thus stimulate the contradictions between them, and when the time comes, they will fight each other, and we will take advantage of the fisherman, right?"
Ji Changye nodded and agreed with the emperor's words.
The thoughtful emperor nodded thoughtfully and said, "Your method is good, then do as you say, the candidates of these families still have to worry about you, and in the end, you decide what to think, and you don't need to ask for advice." First, he trusted Ji Changye, and secondly, it was to reduce the risk of being detected by the Queen Mother.
Ji Changye immediately responded: "Your Majesty, please rest assured."
In fact, he had been thinking about this matter for a long time, and naturally he had a suitable candidate in his heart, but just in case, he still returned to the palace to study this matter carefully, so that nothing would happen. Before I knew it, I sat from morning to evening, and finally it was almost the same
It's done.
Ji Changye rubbed his wrist a little tired, and at this moment Song Qian knocked on the door and entered, still holding a food plate in his hand, on which was a bowl of steaming noodle soup.
"Lord Wang, you haven't had anything for a day, and if you are tired of your body, the gains outweigh the losses. So let's eat something to warm up your stomach." As he spoke, he placed the food plate on the table in the outer room and instructed softly.
Ji Changye obediently put down the roster in his hand, walked to the table in the outer room and sat down, looking at the steaming noodle soup, he replied gratefully, "Thank you Song Niangzi, you still bother you so late?"
"No, I just passed by and saw the light in the prince's study on, remembering that you haven't eaten for a day, thinking that the prince is still riddled with old diseases, I want to come and send some food, and by the way, persuade the prince not to tire himself." Song Qian explained, and handed over the side dishes, watching Ji Changye eat noodles.
Ji Changye was very moved when he heard this, so he ate all the noodles in the bowl, and finally praised Song Qian and said, "Song Niangzi's craftsmanship is really admirable, I didn't expect it to be just a bowl of Yangchun noodles, and it can be made so delicious." It seems that after eating this bowl of noodles, his fatigue for the day has disappeared, and I don't know if this bowl of noodles is really working.
Song Qian listened to his praise and was very happy, but he didn't show it, but said, "The prince is serious, it's just a folk craft, how can it compare to the delicacies of the mountains and seas that the prince eats? Don't laugh at me."
"How could I make fun of Song Niangzi? I'm just telling the truth, so don't be modest." Ji Changye hurriedly replied.
I didn't expect him to be able to say these words, Song Qian couldn't help but be a little surprised, wondering where he learned these words, after all, he didn't even have more than five words in a sentence before.
Ji Changye placed the food plate, suddenly got up and came to the box of the bookcase, opened it and took out a jade bracelet from it, held it and walked in front of Song Qian and said, "Song Niangzi, this is for you, I don't know if it's suitable, why don't you try it on?" This is what he saw from the palace, and he thought it was very suitable for Song Qian and took it back, so he forgot that it might be out of size.
Song Qian immediately waved his hand and refused: "What is this doing, prince? It's useless, I'm really scared if you call me like this, if there is anything, the prince will say that it is, let's take this thing back." As he spoke, he pushed Ji Changye's hand back.
And Ji Changye didn't plan to give up, after all, this was not something that he could bring back so easily, so he insisted: "Song Niangzi is in a hurry to refuse, why don't you give it a try, if it's not suitable, it's okay to give it to me again."
However, he couldn't resist Ji Changye's insistence, Song Qian could only listen to his words, took the jade bracelet and put it on his wrist, what he didn't expect was that this bracelet was like a tailor-made bracelet for him, it was unexpectedly very suitable, presumably this is fate, right? It was destined that this was Song Qian's thing, Ji Changye thought so, and the smile on his face could not be taken back.
"Since it's so suitable, Song Niangzi shouldn't take it off, so that she can wear it for her own sake, which can be regarded as protecting herself from disaster." Ji Changye was afraid that Song Qian would continue to refuse, so he took a few steps back directly, so that he had no way to take off the bracelet and return it to himself.
Song Qian did feel that this bracelet was suitable for him, and saw that Ji Changye unexpectedly insisted that he had no choice but to put it away. Don't forget to say, "Since that's the case, I've thanked the prince."
Ji Changye was extremely happy, and the fatigue of this day completely dissipated.
The next day, the Queen Mother's bedroom.
Seeing the Queen Mother closing her eyes unhurriedly and closing her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, Xiao Xirou said anxiously: "Queen Mother, you can't leave this matter alone, otherwise the prince will really become the target of everyone." He can't count on the Xiao family and Xiao Jianyuan now, so he can only pin all his hopes on the Queen Mother.
When the Queen Mother heard this, she replied with some displeasure, "What's the hurry? Isn't the mourning family thinking of a way? It's just that His Majesty is vigilant and doesn't want to make this matter bigger, so what can the mourning family do? Don't forget, but you're here to get the mourners. Let the mourning family say these words in front of the emperor and pull the regent into the water, the mourning family did it, and it was ineffective and what the mourning family had
What does it matter?" If it weren't for the fear that those things before her would be exposed, how could the Queen Mother agree to Xiao Xirou to get involved in these things, and provoke herself to be on fire?
But I didn't expect that Xiao Xirou was not only grateful now, but also wanted to blame herself for the failure of this matter, how could the Queen Mother agree and swallow her anger?
Knowing that now is not the time to tear her face with the Queen Mother, Xiao Xirou ignored her complaints, and instead prayed: "Now the only one who can help the prince and the palace is the Queen Mother, after all, the rules left by the ancestors can be broken, you know, right?" Queen Mother."
"You want to threaten the mourning family with the rules of the female ancestor now, right? You don't think that the mourning family can really be threatened by these things, otherwise the mourning family would not be sitting in this position now. You want to protect yourself and the prince, no matter what means you use, remembering the old love and mourning family can help you, but it is not a reason for you to get an inch. The mourning family will tell you clearly today, the mourning family will not interfere in this matter again, if you want to threaten the mourning family steadily, even if you come, the mourning family has not lived in vain for so many years, if you have the ability, you will pull the mourning family from the position of the queen mother!" The Queen Mother said angrily.
Because he now thinks that since he can't break the rules of his ancestors, what about them, then they can't break the rules and what about themselves, after all, they don't have any substantial evidence to prove what they do, and they are now grasshoppers on a rope, if something happens to them, they won't be safe, so the queen mother dares to break the jar.
Xiao Xirou listened to his words, her face turned blue with anger, but what he said made sense, she really couldn't do anything to them.
At this moment, the old eunuch outside suddenly ran in and said, "Happy event! What a happy event! Queen Mother!"
"What's the matter, as for yelling? Why are you so unruly?" The Queen Mother said unhappily.
