The crisp sound of swallowing melon seeds quickly attracted the attention of many people.

The courtiers, who had been arguing hotly, finally quieted down.

Shi Yu threw down the melon seed shell in his hand, and by the way, grabbed the melon seeds and handed them to Xiao Xiazi who was standing aside.

"Why don't you make any noise, I'm listening to it, Aiqing continue."

"Your Majesty, this is the Xuande Palace, how can you eat melon seeds here!" Some courtiers couldn't help but speak.

Shi Yu looked at the courtiers blankly, "What, is there a rule in the Xuande Hall that you can't eat melon seeds?" ”

Courtier: "......"

Although there is no explicit rule, however, this is the default is good!

Looking at the silent courtiers, Shi Yu locked his eyes on Shen Qingshi.

"Shen Aiqing, why don't you talk to me, is there such a rule?"

Shen Qingshi was stunned for a moment, and his brows furrowed rapidly.

Since the matter of the male pet spread, he has never glared at Shi Yu in the morning, and he didn't even want to raise his head, for fear of accidentally making a look at the emperor.

During the autumn hunt before, he also found a reason to find Jing Heng to take leave and avoided it, so he didn't go.

Now that so many courtiers are here, the emperor has to ask him by name what he is doing! Is...... Bad luck!

"Shen Aiqing, I'm just asking you a word, although I didn't take a fancy to you when I chose a male favorite, but you don't have to look like a mournful woman."

Shen Qingshi's face froze, "The emperor is cautious!" ”

What does it mean to not take a fancy to a male pet when choosing him? said as if he was willing to be the emperor's male favorite!

"Why, can't I speak yet?" Shi Yu sighed, "You Aiqing have also seen it, it seems that I can only eat melon seeds to pass the time, and it is not pleasing when I open my mouth." ”

Feeling the gazes of other people, Shen Qingshi's heart was even more unhappy, and he gritted his teeth and snorted lightly.

"Why should the emperor let Weichen take the blame, with all due respect, Weichen said bluntly, the overseer is not here today, even if the emperor doesn't eat melon seeds to pass the time, I'm afraid he won't be able to make any decisions."

Shi Yu's face sank, "What does Shen Aiqing mean that all decisions above the court can only be made by the superintendent?" ”

The serious and displeased tone suddenly pressed towards Shen Qingshi.

The latter frowned, but at this point, he still straightened his back and said: "That's the case, Weichen is just speaking bluntly." ”

"Okay, what a blunt!"

Shi Yu threw the melon seeds in his hand on the dragon case.

Just when the courtiers' hearts were tight, thinking that the emperor was going to be angry, but the next moment, Shi Yu smiled suddenly.

"I also think that what Shen Aiqing said is very reasonable!"

Everyone was stunned, even Shen Qingshi didn't expect Shi Yu's attitude to change so quickly.

Without waiting for him to speak, Shi Yu said again: "Since Shen Aiqing thinks that the overseer should be in charge, then about how the five princes should deal with it, Shen Aiqing will ask the overseer." ”

"Your Majesty, this matter ......"

"Shen Aiqing doesn't have to refuse, I and the courtiers are waiting for your reply!" Shi Yu interrupted Shen Qingshi and waved his hand again, "Okay, let's disperse, let's listen to Shen Aiqing's good news tomorrow!" ”

Shen Qingshi: "......" is this not the slightest chance to give him a chance to excuse himself?

After saying that he was scattered, Shi Yu got up directly and left the Xuande Hall quickly.

Before leaving, he gave Shen Qingshi a "Aiqing come on" look with a smile, and the latter's face froze.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say that the Overseer might not want to get involved in the matter of dealing with the five princes, if this is really the case, even if Lord Shen asks, I'm afraid he may not be able to get an answer."

On the palace road, Xiao Xiazi followed Shi Yu and spoke.

"Shen Qingshi is a courtier that Jing Heng values, and if he is involved, Jing Heng will be more or less concerned."

Now that Jing Heng is closed, he can't figure out what the other party thinks. It's better to lead the trouble to Shen Qingshi first, so maybe Jing Heng can react somewhat.

Xiao Xiazi looked at Shi Yu suspiciously, "Your Majesty, the slave didn't think that the overseer cared much about Lord Shen." But for you, the emperor, the slave thinks that the overseer is quite concerned. ”

Shi Yu stopped and turned his head to look at Xiao Xiazi, "Do you care about me?" ”

"yes." Xiao Xiazi nodded, "The slave thinks that the overseer is very good to the emperor." ”

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that during the autumn hunt, not only did he send people to secretly follow and protect the emperor, but he also blatantly favored the emperor and took the emperor to eat meat.

Shi Yu thought about it seriously, and then patted Xiao Xiazi on the shoulder with a complicated expression.

"You won't be ...... I swallowed too many melon seeds, and it blocked my brain! ”

Jing Heng's murderous gaze before, she still remembers it clearly. And if you really care about her, how can you not even show your face, and you won't even be allowed to enter the door when you go to visit, you are definitely secretly holding back something!

Xiao Xiazi: "......" The conscience of heaven and earth, he didn't eat a single melon seed that the emperor gave him just now!

"Your Majesty."

A voice from the other end of the palace interrupted the conversation between the master and servant.

Shi Yu retracted his gaze and saw the Empress Dowager Lin who was walking over surrounded by the palace maids and grandmothers.

"I've seen the Queen Mother." Shi Yu bowed unhurriedly.

Since her last birthday, Empress Dowager Lin has been staying in Ci'an Hall and rarely shows up.

Of course, Shi Yu didn't expect the other party to be obedient after touching the nail, and he didn't plan to trouble himself from now on.

"Your Majesty, is this just an early dynasty?"

"After returning to my mother, exactly."

"It just so happens that the mourning family has something to say to the emperor." Empress Dowager Lin glanced at Xiao Xiazi behind Shi Yu.

Shi Yu thought about it, waved his hand to let Xiao Xiazi retreat a little farther, and Empress Dowager Lin also asked the palace maids and grandmothers behind her to retreat.

"Queen Mother, there are many people on this palace road, and it is better for the Queen Mother to speak more leisurely." Shi Yu said with hints.

If the other party wants to blackmail himself or something about a woman disguised as a man, this is not a good place to talk.

Empress Dowager Lin understood what Shi Yu meant, "The emperor can rest assured, the mourning family is naturally measured." It's just that the mourning family looks at it, and in the matter of the five princes, the emperor has no sense of proportion. ”

Shi Yu laughed, sure enough, it was for Nie Zhaoyi's matter, and the other party was really straight to the point.

"What does the Queen mean?"

"Naturally, I took advantage of this good opportunity to get rid of Nie Zhaoyi completely." Empress Dowager Lin's face flashed with cruelty, "Leave him, the emperor's position may not be stable, and the mourning family is all for the emperor's good." ”

"My position is firm, the queen mother can always be the queen mother, and the relationship between the fifth brother and the Lin family has never been harmonious, I know this very well, why should the queen mother pretend to make up the next sentence." Nie Shiyu unceremoniously pierced.

Empress Dowager Lin was choked by this, but quickly calmed down again, and looked at Shi Yu with a frown, "Even so, but getting rid of Nie Zhaoyi is also beneficial and harmless for you, and the mourning family doesn't understand what you are still hesitating about!" ”

Shi Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Don't forget the queen mother, Nie Zhaoyi is the prince after all." ”

"So what, if you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid that sooner or later you will die at his hands." Empress Dowager Lin narrowed her eyes and lowered her voice to speak, "And Your Majesty, the Mourning family hasn't settled accounts with you about the previous matter, don't you really think that the Mourning family and the Lin family can give up?" ”

As soon as the threatening words fell, before Shi Yu could speak, on the other side of the palace road, a little eunuch hurriedly called over to report.

"Emperor Qi, Queen Mother, Prince Yu has entered the palace!"

"What?" Empress Dowager Lin was stunned for a moment, and then her face changed suddenly......
