The door creaked open, and the goose walked in quickly, closed the door again, and then bypassed the screen and went to the inner room.

"Liangdi, the slave saw Zhou Shuren's maid complaining, but she was reprimanded by Zhou Shuren."

Fang Yu reclined on the beauty couch, shaking a fan, his face pale.

"She is cautious, but the servant will watch the master, and she will pay more attention in the future, this time His Royal Highness will bring me and her, although it is best to get along with each other, but also to prevent people from wanting to make peace with me."

Before leaving, Zhou was called by He Liangdi to give him a good meal.

What kind of person is He Liangdi, who is spicy and domineering, she waited for her twice, and she couldn't wait to peel her skin and throw her out, it was half intolerable, and the Zhou family was controlled by her, so I was afraid that she really had bad intentions.

It's really not that Fang Yu has paranoia about being killed, it's really very difficult to grow up over the years, and there is no way not to think badly about people.

After explaining, I relaxed and took two idle books to pass the time.

On the other side, Pei Yao was not so comfortable, he was busy fighting with the eldest prince.

There are female dependents on this ship, and it is naturally inconvenient for the ministers to come over for discussion.

Therefore, Pei Yao and the eldest prince both took small boats and went to the boat where the courtiers were riding, and discussed matters here.

In the small study, Pei Yao and the eldest prince are in the middle, sitting on the left and right, and there are a total of eight courtiers sitting in the two rows on the left and right.

They are the three scholars of the cabinet, the Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the three imperial historians of the Inspectorate.

The accompanying generals did not come in to participate in the meeting, and their main duty was to protect Pei Yao's safety.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, yesterday the ministers and others have received a letter from Zhongzhou, saying that the students of the Jiangnan generation are very happy to hear that His Royal Highness personally toured the south to investigate Xu Bohan's case, and they have organized themselves and are waiting to see them."

Zhang Zonghe, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, stroked his gray beard and opened his mouth with a smile on his face.

An old imperial historian on the side also smiled and nodded.

"His Royal Highness is the prince, and the emperor's southern tour is naturally enough to appease people's hearts.

After he finished speaking, Wei Changsong, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, looked over and bowed his hand to Pei Yao.

"The people's desire is naturally a good thing, but the minister thinks that there are many people who are prone to change, and His Royal Highness should not go to meet the students in person, this Jiangnan is not as heavily guarded as Kyoto."

"Since Lone has already toured the south in person, he is not afraid of this, if he comes and does not show up, he is afraid of causing gossip."

Pei Yao retorted unhurriedly.

At this time, another minister spoke.

"His Royal Highness's love for talent and love for the people, it can be seen that it is naturally good to meet the students in person, but the minister thinks that Lord Wei's words are also reasonable, according to the minister's opinion, when he arrives in Zhongzhou, it is better to set up a deer banquet and invite Jiangnan students to participate, His Royal Highness can be behind the scenes, and the prince and ministers will come forward to receive him."

Speaking of which, the minister added.

"In this way, it can show His Highness's closeness to the students, and put an end to danger, killing two birds with one stone."

His voice fell, and the eldest prince on the side immediately nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Brother Huang, my younger brother is on the orders of his father, and he is here to protect the emperor's left and right, and this kind of work is left to my younger brother."

As soon as a few people sang and harmonized, Master Zhang Zonghe frowned a little displeased.

But before he could speak, Pei Yao spoke first.

"I wonder what a few adults think of this proposal?"

As he spoke, Pei Yao's eyes swept over the eight people in the audience, and he saw that five of them were nodding in approval.

So he knew it in his heart.

Xuan even nodded and said in a deep voice.

"In this case, then let's do it according to this, pass on Lone's message to Zhongzhou, let them arrange it well, and Lone will set up a deer banquet in Zhongzhou to entertain Jiangnan students."

The eldest prince thought that he would have to spend some time, but he didn't expect Pei Yao to agree, but he was a little surprised.

But things were in line with the result he expected, and he was still in a good mood and laughed, and his expression was much more flying.

After the discussion was over, he came out of the cabin, and the eldest prince was still talking to several other ministers inside, and Zhang Zonghe, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, chased after Pei Yao and stopped people on the deck.

"Your Highness."

"Master Zhang."

Pei Yao stopped and looked back, with a gentle attitude.

This Zhang Zonghe is friends with the crown princess's father, the right prime minister Lu Chuan, and naturally follows Pei Yao, and has always contributed a lot in the cabinet.

"Your Highness, may you take a step to speak?" Zhang Zonghe said in a low voice.

Pei Yao narrowed his eyes, "What the adults want to say, Gu knows in his heart that Wei Changsong was arranged by Li Mu to assist the eldest prince, he is an old fox, and Gu also wants to see what tricks he has. ”

Hearing him say this, Zhang Zonghecai's face relaxed for two points and nodded.

At the end, he hesitated.

"I heard that among the female dependents accompanying His Royal Highness this time, there are women from the Fang family, and the people of the Fang family are treacherous, and His Royal Highness has to be careful."

The so-called prosperity and loss, this is the case.

Because of his father and sister-in-law's betrayal of the first emperor's entrustment and turned to the eldest prince, even if Fang Yu didn't do anything, even if he was a victim, he would still be branded as a thief from the upper family.

Pei Yao didn't refute, just nodded.

"Don't worry, my lord, since I chose her to come out, I have my own usefulness and reason, I heard that the eldest prince brought a side concubine on this trip?"

"The minister has checked, it is a side concubine and a concubine, and the side concubine is Fang Pei, the daughter of the Fang family."

Zhang Zonghe said.

When he mentioned the Fang family, his face clearly showed a look of disgust and resentment.

Scholars all say that a gentleman is difficult to chase, and Fang Hongshen's behavior of betraying the first emperor and not supporting the orthodox prince, but clinging to others because of interests, is undoubtedly scolded and shameless.

"Lone knows, and I bother Lord Zhang to keep an eye on the movements of the accompanying minister for Lone, everything is a little calm, if there is anything, send someone to find Lone immediately, Lone has his own decision."

Pei Yao admonished in a deep voice.

After the latter gave up, he watched Pei Yao walk off the deck and leave in a small boat.

After about a cup of tea, Pei Yao boarded his boat.

As soon as I walked up, I met Zhou Shuren at the staircase on the second floor.

"The concubine has seen His Highness."

Zhou Shuren was slightly stunned, and immediately bowed, looking like she didn't expect to meet.

Pei Yao bowed his head, "No courtesy." ”

He didn't want to say more, but Zhou Shuren immediately said.

"The concubine saw that His Royal Highness's forehead was sweating, and there was just a pot of tea in the concubine's room, so it was better for His Highness to sit there for a while and drink a cup of tea to cool off."

If Pei Yao would have thought that it was a chance encounter, then he would have counted it in his heart, and he was afraid that Zhou had been staring at it.

But there is nothing wrong with these thoughts.

The people of the East Palace, who doesn't rely on him to live, it is the norm to want to compete for favor, but when it is not too much, Pei Yao will still give face.

So he followed Zhou Shuren.
