specially went to tell the emperor the news of Qin Shuhuang's arrival, and Xiao Qing was a lot more relieved.

Presumably, as long as the emperor knows that it is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, even if he offends the regent, he will soon go to court.

Xiao Qing returned to the side hall of the Qinzheng Hall to accompany Qin Shuhuang.

Where did you think that it would be another hour to wait for this......

Qin Shuhuang's brows gradually frowned, and Xiao Qing's face became worried.

Could it be that the emperor is growing the princess's anger and deliberately delaying the early dynasty, and does not want to see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess?

Probably not, right?

Xiao Qing scratched his head anxiously, why is the master not here today, if the master is here, he will definitely know what is going on as soon as possible.

A little eunuch hurriedly came in and whispered a few words in Xiao Qing's ear.

Xiao Qing was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and the little eunuch respectfully retreated.

Qin Shuhuang saw Xiao Qing's embarrassed face and asked, "The emperor went elsewhere?" Don't come to see Hongu for a while? ”

Xiao Qing smiled awkwardly, "There was news just now, saying that the emperor and the regent and other ministers went to the side hall of Wende Hall for lunch, and said that they would continue to discuss politics after lunch." ”

Qin Shuhuang's brows furrowed even tighter after hearing this.

Since Xiao Qing said that he went to report to the emperor's brother, he must have went, which means that the emperor's brother knew that she had entered the palace.

The royal brother knew that she was here and dined with the ministers, was this deliberately avoiding her?

The royal brother is still angry with her?

Xiao Qing found that Qin Shuhuang's face was not good, and immediately said: "Your Highness, there is an important matter in the court today, I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to leave for a while, since the emperor has already eaten, the servants will also arrange meals for you." Today's imperial dining room is His Royal Highness's favorite Imperial Chef Liu on duty, and the servant will personally ask Imperial Chef Liu to cook a few dishes you like to eat. ”

Where is Qin Shuhuang in the mood to eat, after the death of her father and queen mother, she and the imperial brother support each other in the palace, and the imperial brother is definitely not this kind of grudge, especially between sisters and brothers.

I'm afraid that there is something or someone is doing it in the way.

Xiao Qing was just about to go to the imperial dining room, but was stopped by Qin Shuhuang, "No need, this palace has eaten some snacks, I am not hungry at this time, since the imperial brother can't leave for the time being, you accompany this palace to the Ciyuan Hall to have a look." ”

"Yes! Your Highness! ”

Soon, Qin Shuhuang arrived at the Ciyuan Palace.

Although the first empress has been gone for more than ten years, this place is still exactly the same as more than ten years ago, even the flowers and plants and the decorations in the hall are the same as in Qin Shuhuang's memory, and even the location has not changed.

Ciyuan Hall is full of childhood memories of Qin Shuhuang and his younger brother.

The rocking bed that she and her brother have slept on, the various toys they have played with, and the small clothes they wore when they were young are all neatly placed in their original positions, and they are maintained by special personnel on weekdays.

Qin Shuhuang stroked these childhood things, and was even more sure that the imperial brother was not really angry with her.

So what's going on today?

After sitting in the Ciyuan Palace, Qin Shuhuang didn't stay long, and after going to the ancestral hall to offer incense to the first emperor and queen, Qin Shuhuang said to Xiao Qing, who was accompanying him: "This palace wants to go to the emperor's brother's bedroom to have a look." ”

After the first emperor and queen were gone, Qin Shuhuang took on the responsibility of the elder as an elder sister, even if Qin Shuhuang was only one year older than his younger brother, he was also the eldest sister like a mother.

When Qin Shuhuang was not married, he often helped take care of the affairs in his younger brother's bedroom, so it was not too much for Qin Shuhuang to propose to go to the emperor's bedroom at this time.

The emperor has not yet married, there is no harem, and the princess is the eldest sister of the emperor, a fellow mother, and there is nothing inconvenient.

Xiao Qing immediately led Qin Shuhuang to Funing Palace.

Before Qin Shuhuang arrived at the Funing Palace, Xiao Dong, who was following Qin Shumin, knew the news.

While he was going out to change tea for the emperor, a note was stuffed into the hands of the big maid Weiwei by a little eunuch.

Xia Qianwei took the opportunity to check the note, which was the message that Xiao Dong asked her to give her.

The corners of her mouth raised slightly, the eldest princess wants to see the saint today, I'm afraid it's impossible!

After Xia Qianwei went out, she summoned two palace maids and gave a few orders, and the palace maids left quickly, and the direction they left was the direction where the Funing Hall was located.

Today's court deliberations did not end until an hour and a half in the afternoon, and Qin Shumin's lunch in the side hall was discussing solutions during lunch.

The court is controlled by people from Qin Wei's family, and Qin Shumin's desire to use his own people is blocked from time to time by the old ministers playing Tai Chi.

Until the end of the court discussion, there was no reason for the military expenditure and river improvement.

The important ministers left one after another from the side hall of the Wende Palace.

The early dynasty started early in the morning and didn't end until the afternoon, the matter has not been resolved, Qin Shumin does not have much authority, he has to maneuver between this group of old fox courtiers, and he has to be bound by the regent, and he has to tighten his heartstrings and use his brain to find a way everywhere, so he is really tired and tired after coming up for most of the day.

Seeing that the important ministers left, Wei Wei came in with a bowl of red date lotus seed soup and gently put it on Qin Shumin's desk, and said in a low and gentle voice: "Your Majesty, drink a bowl of lotus seed soup and rest, there are so many government affairs, how can you finish it for a while." ”

Qin Shumin rubbed the corners of his forehead, the lotus seed soup wafted a faint fragrance, he had been thinking about how to deal with this group of old foxes during lunch, he didn't eat a few bites, he was really hungry at this time.

Qin Shumin took three or two sips of lotus seed soup and drank it.

The lotus seed soup is sweet, with the unique fragrance of lotus seeds and red dates, which calms his depressed mood a lot.

Xu Shi had been nervous before, but suddenly relaxed, drank sweet soup again, and suddenly became sleepy.

Qin Shumin's life is regular, he got up and was about to drive back to Funing Hall for a lunch break, just about to call someone, Wei Wei smiled and comforted, "The slave and maid are very tired to watch the emperor, and it will take a quarter of an hour to return to the Funing Palace, why don't you take a rest in the Qinzheng Hall today?" After saying that, Wei Wei seemed to casually glance at the mountains of twists and turns on the royal case.

Qin Shumin couldn't help but yawn loudly, thinking about it, he waved his hand, "Arrange it for me." ”

Wei Wei immediately ordered the palace people to arrange a main room behind the Qinzheng Palace.

Qin Shumin rested in the Qinzheng Palace.

Qin Shuhuang was accompanied by Xiao Qing to the outside of the Funing Palace.

Qin Shuhuang knows his own brother, and has developed the habit of taking a lunch break for many years, as long as he is free, he will definitely go back to the dormitory to rest for half an hour when the time comes.

It's almost the hour.

Qin Shuhuang asked Xiao Qing beside him, "Can the imperial brother take a lunch break recently?" ”

Xiao Qing said with a smile: "Thanks to His Royal Highness, he still thinks about the emperor, the emperor's habit has not changed, and he has to come back to sleep for a while at this time of day, sometimes it is half an hour, sometimes it is two quarters of an hour." ”

Qin Shuhuang bowed his head and walked towards the Funing Palace.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the Funing Palace, Qin Shuhuang was about to enter the Funing Palace, when the two eunuchs guarding the door suddenly stretched out their hands to stop Qin Shuhuang.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess stays!"

Qin Shuhuang paused, and looked at the two eunuchs who stood in front of him with cold eyes.

Xiao Qing couldn't help but ask: "Bold!" What are you guys doing! ”
