The afterglow of the setting sun stained the inside and outside of the East Palace Mansion into a crimson world.

The subordinates in the East Palace Mansion were dismissed early, and the intimate Wan'er knew that the purpose of her mother's coming here was not to visit her little grandson, so she was very considerate and excused herself to leave.

Only Lu Ze was left looking at Li Yunrui with a smile between his eyebrows on the opposite side with a calm expression.

The relationship between Lu Ze and Li Yunrui is extremely complicated.

When Lu Ze came to this world, he passively had some very strange and charming relationship with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, if it was in the past, Lu Ze might choose to talk to her occasionally.

But at the moment, Lu Ze naturally couldn't say anything more to her.

Because he knew that Li Yunrui just now was just deliberately joking, the eldest princess, who was known for being completely crazy in her heart, also knew that Lu Ze's identity was Wan'er's husband at this moment, and she did not exceed the rules.

The atmosphere between the two men quickly returned to a normal phase.

Li Yunrui's bright eyes were on Lu Ze, and a little curiosity and surprise occasionally flashed in his eyes.

Many people in Kyoto are very surprised by a certain change in the crown prince, and for Li Yunrui, who is most familiar with how the East Palace is a person, she may be the one who has the deepest experience in the whole of Kyoto, but with the marriage of Lu Ze and Wan'er, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess finally restrained some complicated emotions in her heart, and only today did she choose to come to the East Palace Mansion.

"I have come today for one thing."

"If you agree, my aunt won't come to your side to bother you two in the future."

Li Yunrui instantly regained the grace and bearing of the eldest princess of Qingguo, and the green jade hand picked up the celadon teacup placed on the side, and looked at everything in the hall casually, although the decoration changes were not too big, but from these trivial things, it could be vaguely felt that the East Palace at this time was indeed a little different from before.

Without waiting for Li Yunrui to continue, Lu Ze shook his head very firmly.

"Auntie doesn't have to think much about Neku's side."

"My father didn't want me to be in full control, now that the Ming family's affairs have caused a sensation in the court, it is impossible to seek huge benefits from the inner treasury... What's more, my aunt is still doing business with my second brother?"

Lu Ze seemed to be smiling, looking at Li Yunrui, whose expression had become not very good.

At this time, the mother-in-law still felt that she didn't know about the smuggling between her and Li Chengze.

Lu Ze thought silently in his heart, even if it was an extremely smart person like Li Yunrui, there was still an obvious gap between Chen Pingping and Emperor Qing who really attacked the city.

Li Yunrui didn't expect Lu Ze to choose to refuse so directly.

This time the Ming family incident happened, but Emperor Qing's side still chose to grasp the degree of the matter in a controllable aspect, and Li Yunrui, who clearly felt that his power in the Qingguo court was consumed hugely, wanted to regain control of the East Palace.

"Cheng Qian's words made my aunt very sad."

"Even if you don't look at our past feelings, but when it comes to Wan'er, you have to help your aunt."

Listening to his mother-in-law's words, Lu Ze chuckled: "But auntie, Wan'er listens to me the most."

Li Yunrui didn't expect Lu Ze to be so difficult to speak at this time.

At the beginning, no matter what she said, the prince was obedient and obsessed with herself.

Weakness...

Li Yunrui gradually discovered that she didn't seem to be able to grasp what Lu Ze's weakness was.

What happened to the two of them at the beginning, now it seems that Lu Ze doesn't seem to care much, I don't know if she figured out whether there is a mother-daughter relationship with Wan'er in her heart, or if she has other plans, Li Yunrui's eyebrows began to lower.

Failing to achieve his goal today, Li Yunrui didn't care much.

What she really cared about was that now she didn't seem to be able to guess the true thoughts of this nephew and son-in-law, and even when facing Lu Ze, she occasionally felt like she was facing that emperor's brother.

Such a peculiar feeling made Li Yunrui breathe rapidly.

She vaguely sensed that in the future Qingguo, Lu Ze might show something even more amazing.

And the thought that she had personally taught such a person, and even that he was her own son-in-law, Li Yunrui's slightly perverted psychology felt extremely satisfied, especially when she knew that the emperor's brother would not accept that the crown prince was so strong that he could threaten him.

Emperor Qing can accept that the princes do everything to fight.

But definitely not the chair that threatens him underneath his ass.

Li Yunrui left the East Palace with a smile, although she didn't find anything this time, she still couldn't stop being happy.

And Lu Ze clearly perceived Li Yunrui's strange thoughts through the silly girl in his mind.

His countenance became extremely strange.

"This..."

"The human heart is really complicated..."

Lu Ze felt that he was still comparatively... Simplicity?

.......

The court has been fruitless for a long time about the smuggling of the Ming family's inner library.

Although Li Yunrui and the second prince are the real proprietors behind the Ming family, they single-handedly planned the secret communication with the Northern Qi royal family, and both sides made huge profits in private in this way of treating tariffs as nothing.

For example, the Qin family of the Privy Council.

Since the Ye family was kicked out of the inner circle of Kyoto because of the Hanging Temple incident, the Qin family has inevitably become the most powerful military force in Beijing, and the Qin family has taken over the position of the garrison of Kyoto.

On the side of the Ming family, there are still many big families in Beijing who have dry shares in it.

These people may not know each other about this, but they all have a tacit understanding to accept the large sum of silver sent by the Ming family every year, and at the same time open the door to the smuggling of the inner library, stretch out one hand and close two eyes.

Li Yunrui naturally knew that the risk of "doing business" with the Northern Qi side alone was too great.

Therefore, she was happy to divide the money out of her hand.

Although there is less silver in this way, the hidden risks are also shared by people, and this way of distributing benefits has become an unspoken rule of the Qingguo court to a certain extent. Another degree of "the law does not hold the public accountable".

Emperor Qing did not choose to dig out the umbrella behind the Ming family, that is, it was taboo that the court would be turbulent.

is also for the sake of his fame in history.

Just like the previous Chunqiu fraud, although seventeen court officials were beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market, where are the small actions on the Chunqiu this year? Emperor Qing just didn't like the princes to interfere in the arrangement of court personnel, and for those ministers and ministers, he still chose to acquiesce.

Therefore, this time the smuggling of the inner library is still an anticlimactic end.

Because it's almost the end of the year.

This year's Qingguo is not stable compared to last year, and the assassination of the Hanging Temple is still a headless hanging eucalyptus to this day, and no one knows who the real person behind the serial assassination is, at least Dongyi City Sigu Jian said that it has absolutely nothing to do with him.

The court is still in constant competition between various forces, and even finds a balance, hello everyone.

It's just that the waterlogging over there is particularly serious this year, and the court battle inevitably affects this huge country, Emperor Qing ordered Lu Ze to partner with several adults in Zhongshu to be responsible for the management of this year's waterlogging, Lu Ze can only do his best to deal with this matter, because even if he can come up with a perfect solution, but in the end there is not enough silver at hand, and the clever woman can only cook without rice.

Only then did Lu Ze gradually understand the mud hidden behind the prosperity of Qingguo at present.

Emperor Qing, the emperor who aims to leave a name in history, attaches too much importance to the balance of the court The result is the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people in the south of the Yangtze River, many people have even missed the old Lin Xiangye in Wuzhou at this time, at least when the disaster occurred in previous years, Lin Ruofu had already stood in the court for the first time, ignoring the various factions Lin Xiangye is the Dinghai Shenshen needle in everyone's hearts.

At the end of the year, the capital was gradually shrouded in red lanterns and red spring couplets.

Although Emperor Qing declared that all the matters in the palace during this year's New Year Festival were simple, His Majesty the Emperor took the lead, and the people below naturally had to follow together, of course, behind closed doors, it should be happy or happy, the boat workshop of the Liujing River was opened, and the wine of the Qinglou in Xicheng was drunk.

The East Palace is packing up its things.

"Dabao can finally see Daddy!"

In the huge courtyard, there was a fat young man with thick clothes and a slightly dull face, the corners of his mouth were raised, and a little longing flashed in his eyes, this was Lin Dabao, the eldest son of the Lin Mansion.

Lin Ruofu entrusted all his two sons to Lu Ze's uncle.

Lu Ze will naturally take care of it carefully.

Lin Gong didn't like to study the way of being an official, after Lin Ruofu returned to Wuzhou to retire, he devoted himself to studying martial arts, Lu Ze simply helped, this second uncle has touched the threshold of the seven grades of martial arts, and it is estimated that he will be able to officially step into the ranks of the three grades of martial arts next year.

Lin Wan'er looked like the hostess of the East Palace at the moment.

Between the eyebrows, you can vaguely see that there is still the appearance of a young girl a few years ago, but there is a strong nobility in every word and deed, and even the queen mother in Hanguang Hall has openly praised Wan'er for her *** demeanor, which makes the queen feel very uncomfortable.

even secretly reminded Lu Ze in private.

But in Lu Ze's view, it is naturally more important to be his daughter-in-law.

Because he is very indifferent to the family affection between the royal family, for this mother, Lu Ze will generally follow the other party, but on the fundamental issue, he will naturally not listen to the other party, the queen's IQ is indeed... It's worrying.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

In Wuzhou, it is definitely not an exaggeration.

Lin Ruofu's existence made the entire Qingguo know the boundary of Wuzhou, and when a person's name can represent the affairs of an entire state city, people will know how powerful the influence this person has in the local area.

Lu Ze didn't expect that his father-in-law's reputation in Wuzhou would be so good.

Wan'er beside her seemed to see the abnormality on Lu Ze's face, she smiled, and her mood was far happier than when she was in Kyoto.

"My father has been in the officialdom for many years, and since him, the number of people in the entire Wuzhou army has far exceeded the sum of the previous years, and the Lin family has a very good reputation, so the people here naturally respect my father very much."

When I just entered the city, the guards heard that it was a noble person who went to the Lin family, and after reading the customs clearance documents, there was an indescribable respect in their eyes, and this respect naturally came from the heart.

Wan'er didn't come to Wuzhou's hometown, and was very curious to look at everything lively through the window of the car.

After the carriage drove into an extremely spacious and brand-new lane, there was only one family that could be seen, and someone had already greeted him early on the road, Lu Ze did not notify the Lin family in advance, and did not send someone to inform the old man until he was about to enter the city.

"Father."

After Wan'er got out of the car, she saw Lin Ruofu, who was a little embarrassed, and her tears couldn't help but start to fall.

On the other side, Lin Gong and Lin Dabao's performance is also not much better.

Lu Ze thought about the fake family gathering in the palace before leaving, and sighed that this was a family.
