Not to mention how the eldest prince is.

After Pei Yao came back, he didn't sit in the study for long before he received the lotus leaf porridge sent by Zhou Shuren in person.

After Hong Zheng came in and passed the word, he quietly looked at Pei Yao's expression.

"Your Highness, do you want to bring this porridge?"

"Sent by Zhou?" Pei Yao narrowed his eyes, "Lone remembers that her father is Lang Zhong of the Military Election Division of the Ministry of War." ”

Hong Zheng nodded, "Your Highness has a good memory." ”

After receiving an affirmative reply, Pei Yao withdrew his gaze and bowed slightly.

"Let her in."

After a while, Zhou entered the study with a food box.

"Concubine to His Highness."

"No courtesy."

Pei Yao's gaze was still on the fold in his hand, and he didn't look up.

Seeing this, Zhou silently walked aside, put down the food box in his hand, took out a bowl of porridge from it, and brought it over.

"The concubine thinks that His Royal Highness has to drink some wine at the banquet today, this porridge nourishes the stomach, the lotus leaves reduce the fire and remove dryness, His Royal Highness is tired for days, eating some is good for the body."

When she spoke, Pei Yao also happened to finish reading the last fold in her hand, and after putting the fold aside, she took the bowl.

"You're bothered, sit down."

"It's all within the status of a concubine."

Zhou smiled and sat down next to him.

After eating a few bites of porridge, Pei Yao spoke softly.

"Lone remembers that your father is Lang Zhong of the Wuxuan Division, although his official position is not high, but he raised such a gentle, virtuous and sensible daughter as you, and sent it to Lone's side."

After being praised, Zhou's face showed a little shyness at the right time.

"My father often said that it is a great blessing to be able to serve the court, I don't care about the official position, and the concubine also feels that it is a blessing in this life to be able to serve His Royal Highness."

"You and your father are fine."

Pei Yao hooked his lips and praised with a smile.

Of course, he wants to boast, after all, although the official position in this military selection is not high, it is an important right to control the selection of military attachés.

And the reason why Qian Jiangbai joined him was because his eldest son gave up literature and martial arts the year before last, but there has been no good news, and now he needs a way.

In short, Zhou Shuren stayed that day.

The mansion is so big, Fang Yu naturally knew the news quickly.

However, she didn't care whether Zhou stayed or not, she was more concerned about whether Zhou used strong incense again.

It's hard to investigate, but you have to keep an eye on it.

Qingrong and Yanwei were both sent out, and it took a lot of effort.

When Fang Yu got up the next day, he was sure that Zhou Shuren used a stronger rose fragrance yesterday.

This was inquired from the maid who was waiting for bathing in the front yard and the maid who was waiting for bathing beside Zhou Shuren.

That is, because the southern patrol is outside, there are only one or two henchmen around him, and the others are temporarily assigned to serve, so it is easier to explore.

If it is left in the East Palace, it is really impossible to detect.

And at this point, Fang Yu is also sure that there must be something wrong with the rose fragrance used by Zhou's family.

Thinking about it carefully, the last time it was also when the Zhou family was sleeping, I smelled this smell on her, could it be...

There are too many ways for women to compete for favor, and they use spices, so it is difficult for Fang Yu not to think about the bed.

However, this is just speculation, and it is even more difficult to investigate and confirm it deeply.

So I put this clue in my hand for the time being, and I may be able to use it in the future.

At the moment, when he is away from home, Pei Yao's mind is on government affairs, and it is not good to cause disputes between women at this moment, even if he wins, he will be easily bored.

It's better to be at peace with each other first.

In fact, it was indeed as Fang Yu thought, after Pei Yao beat the deer and mingled the banquet, he became busy again.

However, this busyness is a superficial word, because the case replaced by the scientific examination has been almost investigated, and everything that should be disposed of has been disposed of, and there is only a little finishing work left, the reason why he is busy is that he wants to hide behind and throw the eldest prince out to see how he deals with the affairs of the Jiang family.

Although it took eight days to travel from Chungshu to Kyoto, it was because it was not a day or night voyage, and there were many stops along the way, so the fast horse delivery was fast enough.

In just three days, Zhongzhou received a reply from Emperor Chengjing.

Although Qian Jiangbai, the governor of Zhongzhou, was guilty of negligence, he had worked hard for many years, and this time he had the merit of exposing it, so he was not punished.

After receiving this will, the stone in the eldest prince's heart was completely relaxed, and he immediately rolled up his sleeves and worked hard.

Let the people under him, in accordance with the laws of Daqi, check the Changyu Marquis Mansion to the bottom.

However, how could he have thought that in fact, along with the holy decree, there was also a secret letter sent by the Empress Li and given to him alone.

The boss explained that Emperor Chengjing's order was to hinder face, but he still had old feelings for the Jiang family, and he could not be punished too much.

It's just that now this letter has safely fallen into Pei Yao's hands, and the eldest prince has no idea about it.

"Look, our queen mother really knows how to figure out the Sacred Heart."

Pei Yao threw the secret letter on the table, and there was a cold light with sarcasm in his eyes.

Zhang Zong stepped forward to take it, and blew his beard angrily and glared at it.

"Ji Si Chen, there will be chaos, this Li family violates the rules of the ancestors, the identity of the harem woman, interferes in the government affairs, it is really hateful, as the queen, she should admonish the emperor to be diligent in government and love the people, how can she ignore the law in order to please the emperor!"

"Yes, such a woman is the master of the Middle Palace, the mother of the country of Daqi, how can the emperor not be deceived by the fallacy."

Pei Yao narrowed his eyes and sighed lightly.

"The eldest prince is easy to deal with, but it is the Li family that is not easy to deal with, if the emperor can have a reasonable and sensible woman around him to serve and advise, so that the emperor can stay away from the Li family, maybe it will be much better."

Zhang Zonghe frowned and pondered for a moment, then bowed his hand.

"Your Highness, the old minister has a method, it may work, but... But it may be inappropriate. ”

"Lord Zhang, please speak."

Pei Yao raised his hand.

Then I heard Zhang Zonghe say in a low voice.

"Jiangnan women are gentle and virtuous, at the Luming banquet, the old ministers followed His Royal Highness to talk to those students, many of whom have sisters of appropriate age in their families, according to the ministers, these women can be dedicated to the emperor and serve the left and right."

Hearing this, Pei Yao frowned and made a contemplative gesture.

"The emperor's heirs are thin, and they admit people into the palace, and they are also for the sake of the great Qi country, but these women have a low status, and I am afraid that after they enter the palace, they will not be able to compete with the queen, but they will also give their lives in vain, but if they are women with good family backgrounds, they naturally refuse to enter Beijing with us like this, if they can change their origins, they can also have more chips and dependence."

Seeing this, Zhang Zonghe immediately said.

"Lao Chen only has two sons under his knees, but he envies that other people's families have daughters who are well-behaved and cute.

Hearing this, Pei Yao showed a faint smile on his face.

"It's so good, it's a good thing to have both worlds."
