The old eunuch may have realized that he had lost his temper, so he knelt on the ground respectfully and said, "The queen mother forgives her sins, the slave did not mean to collide with the queen mother and the queen mother."

The Queen Mother sighed helplessly and asked, "What is the matter?"

"Empress Dowager Qi, this is news from Dongcheng. said that Jiang Yu's sons and protégés were selected to be officials in the court, and the slaves couldn't help but come to report when they saw that it was a happy event. That's when you collided with the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother." The old eunuch brought a letter to him, and then returned to his place and knelt down.

Xiao Xirou's curious eyes followed closely, very curious about what was going on.

The Queen Mother took the letter with some surprise, and after reading it, she also knew what was going on, and it was clear that it was a happy event that someone from her mother clan was selected to be an official in the court, which really surprised her.

After all, the wind in the court has been tight recently, just in case of anger, the queen mother had to let her mother family leave the imperial capital to avoid the limelight, so she naturally had no hope for this election of officials, so this result was really unexpected, because of this, the queen mother quickly became vigilant and felt whether there was fraud in it.

Xiao Xirou, who was aware of what the Queen Mother was thinking, took the initiative to speak in order to break the ice: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, the concubines heard that the former dynasty has always been strict in selecting officials, and it must be the Queen Mother's mother and protégé who are full of wealth and wealth, and they will be selected if they are square." This compliment, Xiao Xirou hopes that the Queen Mother can perceive her heart and agree to help herself happily.

But the Queen Mother was not completely carried away, and still replied very soberly: "Thank you for the queen's compliment, the mourning family has thanked you for them here, and the mourning family is also a little tired, if the queen is fine, go first, let the mourning family rest and rest." As she spoke, she got up and walked towards the inner hall with the support of the old eunuch, as if she was a bit of a guest.

Seeing this, Xiao Xirou was not cheeky enough to continue to stay here, so she had no choice but to give up and leave.

And with the cooperation of Ji Changye and the emperor, the sons and protégés of the queen mother's family really received preferential treatment, and they did not shy away from people, in order to let others see, and it was not long before there were rumors in the court.

The people of the family who were deliberately let go by Ji Changye also gathered and found the regent palace together.

Song Qian was a little surprised when she looked at the stopped carriages at the main gate, she intended to go to the street to buy some things, but she didn't expect to be blocked by them at the door.

After those people got out of the carriage, they didn't know who was the first to recognize Song Qianlai, and took the lead in saluting: "Meet the princess." Seeing this, others followed suit.

"Get up, get up." Song Qian had never experienced this kind of thing, so he hurriedly beckoned them to get up, and immediately wondered why these people came to the palace.

"Princess, the ministers are here to look for the prince, I don't know if the prince can allow the ministers to visit." One of them stated the purpose of their trip.

Hearing this, Song Qian replied, "The prince is in the study, I'll lead you in." She put aside the idea of going to the street to buy things for the time being, and instead led everyone to the backyard.

When he came to the study, Song Qian saw Ji Changye writing in front of the bookcase in the window, and it looked like he had already known that these people would come, and he deliberately stayed here.

"Lord Wang."

Hearing Song Qian's voice, Ji Changye suddenly raised his head, and saw clearly that the person who came was really her, and when he was about to say something, he found those people behind her, so he coughed lightly and became a little serious: "Princess, who are these people?"

"These people are here to find you, the prince." Song Qian turned sideways, revealing the faces of several people in Ji Changye's sight. It's rare for Ji Changye to call him so seriously, and he is really a little uncomfortable.

The leader immediately took the lead and knelt down.

Ji Changye's eyes sank, and he said, "Is there something wrong with the few of you who came to find this king?" Now he had put down a heavy stone in his heart, because they had found it to prove that it was not in vain that he and the emperor had done it.

Everyone looked at each other, and their eyes invariably fell on Song Qian's body, as if to say that Song Qian was here, and it was inconvenient for them to say these things.

Song Qian reacted very much

Quickly, after knowing that he was not suitable here, he took the opportunity to make an excuse and said, "Lord, I still have to go to the street to buy things, so I will leave first."

"Go, princess, remember to be careful on the road, let Changfeng accompany you." Saying that, he gave Changfeng beside him a look and let him keep up with Song Qian.

Song Qianqian gestured to turn around and leave.

After leaving the backyard, Changfeng followed behind him and asked, "Princess, what are we going to buy on the street?"

"Yuanbao's sachet is old, and there is no suitable fabric on the palace, so I thought about going to the street to find some beautiful styles to re-sew a sachet for Yuanbao." Song Qian explained.

Changfeng nodded clearly.

Song Qian asked tentatively, "Those people look at their eyes, what is the important thing about their appearance, right? Don't be some ill-intentioned people, wouldn't that be dangerous for the prince?" She has been feeling uneasy these days, wondering if it has something to do with these things.

Because it was Song Qian who asked, Changfeng didn't shy away from anything, and replied bluntly: "These things are not very clear to the subordinates, but I know that these people are part of the prince's plan and will not pose any threat, so the princess can rest assured that the prince can deal with it."

Hearing this, Song Qian was relieved a lot, so he didn't ask any more questions, and followed Changfeng to the street.

At the same time, the backyard study.

"Lord Wang, those people are too arrogant. It's just relying on the power of his mother's clan to run rampant in the court, which really makes these little courtiers dare not speak out, and they are so oppressed." Saying that, these people sighed again and again, and showed great sadness, as if they were really bullied by those people from the Queen Mother's family.

Ji Changye nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, because he knew the reason, so he said, "Actually, this king and His Majesty also know a little about these things, but there is really no way to do anything about them. You also know that those people have powerful backgrounds and are deeply rooted in the court, and if it weren't for something powerful, I'm afraid that this king would not be able to do anything to them, and it is even very likely that they will calculate it in reverse." As he spoke, he pretended to sigh sadly, expressing his helplessness.

After those people heard this, they really fought for Ji Changye and them, and they all said their own ideas: "Lord Wang, if you can catch their handles, this matter will be much simpler."

Seeing that the situation had developed in the direction he wanted, Ji Changye pushed the boat down the river and said, "But how do you catch them? Now that their power is strong, they will definitely not leave any traces against them, and this method will not work." In fact, he and the emperor also wanted to find a few reasons to attack the Queen Mother and them, and let these people take the initiative to come to them, just to get some useful methods from them.

Someone really thought of a way, and hurriedly said, "Lord Wang, now they are vigilant and will not leave a handle, but it doesn't mean that what they did before was seamless, so the minister suggested that you can look through the old cases of the past few years, and you will definitely be able to find out what you want." This is the most useful way to do it today.

Ji Changye thought about his words, and felt that this was also a good idea, so he nodded but still pretended to be embarrassed and said: "These old cases must be difficult to investigate, after all, the original thing happened too long ago, and if this kind of thing is done by this king with great fanfare, I am afraid that it will startle the snake, if they detect something in advance and prepare how to deal with us, it will be wasted."

Saying that, Ji Changye pretended to be full of apologies and said, "So this king probably can't do this thing, and he can't get justice for you, and I hope you can understand this king, and this king has no choice."

Hearing that even Ji Changye didn't care about this matter, several people instantly became anxious, after all, if these people from the Queen Mother's family were allowed to go down, their position would definitely be in jeopardy, and for their future career, no matter how difficult it was, they must pull the people of the Queen Mother's family into the water, so that they could not be arrogant. And because it is necessary to use Ji Changye's rights to be able to logically avoid future troubles, so no matter what, this matter cannot be stopped.

So someone stood up and proposed, "Don't worry, lord, this

Just leave some things to the ministers to investigate, and the evidence will definitely be presented to the prince at that time, as long as the prince makes the evidence public and confirms their crimes."

These words hit Ji Changye's heart, so under the pretended hesitation, Ji Changye agreed: "Since this is the case, I will bother you. As for today's events, I hope you don't spread the word, only we know about it, otherwise it's easy to startle the snake."

The most important thing is that neither the emperor nor he wants to get caught on fire because of this matter, and with the help of these people's hands, they can really sit back and enjoy their success, and they will not cause trouble for themselves in the future.

Seeing that Ji Changye agreed to come down, several people did not suspect it, and they all responded to his words before leaving with confidence.

Ji Changye watched their backs leave, nodded with satisfaction, and immediately wrote this matter into a secret letter to the emperor.

At this time, Song Qian and Changfeng were on the street, and they had already bought the things they needed and were ready to go back.

But they didn't think that suddenly a carriage stopped at the corner of the street and blocked the way they were walking.

Changfeng immediately became vigilant, protected Song Qian behind him, and prepared to take her around and leave, because he found that this carriage belonged to the palace.

But at this time, the curtain on the carriage was lifted, and Ji Qirui's voice came: "Princess? It's really you." After that, he got out of the carriage with the support of Rong and came to Song Qian.

Looking at his smiling tiger appearance, Song Qian couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart, and knew that he couldn't leave, so he had to salute and say, "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince."

"I didn't expect to meet the princess here, it seems that the princess is really simple, and she actually went to the street to buy things herself." Ji Qirui didn't know whether these words were praise or ridicule, and his eyes swept over the things in Song Qian's hand, which made Song Qian very uncomfortable.

Changfeng listened to Ji Qirui's words, and his heart was already angry, but now he couldn't take Song Qian away.

Not to be outdone, Song Qian replied: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is truly sympathetic to the people's livelihood, and he will appear in the market, if the people know about it, they will definitely praise His Highness."
