The emperor, who has always been moody, couldn't hide the excitement on his face at this moment, looked at Mo Jinghuan and said, "Tell me quickly, where did you find this!" ”

"Back to my father, my son met a beggar when he went out of the city this time, and he gave him some broken silver when he saw that he was pitiful, but I didn't expect that the beggar was also a backbone, so he had to exchange things." Mo Jinghuan said lightly: "Maybe it's the will of heaven!" This is what the beggar gave to his sons. ”

"What? Beggars? The emperor looked at Mo Jinghuan in disbelief, and his tone was cold in vain, "Jing'er, don't be fooled, how can a beggar have such a thing!" ”

"Erchen doesn't dare, what Erchen said is true!" Mo Jinghuan said: "The beggar said that this thing was given to him by an old man, and told him that it could cure the acne on his face. ”

"Acne?" The emperor frowned slightly, and when he looked at the box in his hand again, he couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes.

"Yes, that beggar is full of acne, extremely ugly and terrifying, otherwise Erchen would not feel pity for him." Mo Jinghuan said: "He said that he wanted to sell this herb for some money, but he was bombarded out of a few houses, and he didn't dare to eat it if he couldn't sell it, so he gave it to Erchen." ”

"That's how it came about!" The emperor still said with some disbelief: "Where is the beggar now?" ”

"Erchen was afraid of attracting unnecessary attention, so he didn't leave the man, but just asked him to tell the old man's appearance, and Erchen had already drawn it." Mo Jinghuan took out a folded portrait.

"Good! Very good! The emperor looked at the portrait and said, "Jing'er, you did a good job!" Have you done what I sent you to do? ”

"Erchen has fulfilled his mission and has done it." Mo Jinghuan said: "Erchen has already ordered Vice General Li to stay over there. ”

"Good!" The emperor said with satisfaction: "This matter cannot be known to anyone. ”

"Yes, Erchen understands!" Mo Jinghuan saw that he had finished talking about business, and said to the emperor: "Father, the affairs of the minister's mansion have been in a uproar in the past two days, mainly because the person who died was Chu Shan'er's personal maid since childhood, so he ......."

"Okay, I know what you have to say." The emperor waved his hand to interrupt Mo Jinghuan's words, and said lightly: "Marquis Chu has already accepted that maid as a righteous daughter, since it is the young lady of Zhenguohou who has an accident, it is normal to make some noise." ”

The emperor looked at Mo Jinghuan and said: "I will instruct the Criminal Department to handle this matter impartially, and I will never let Chu Shan'er and them be wronged." ”

"Thank you, Father." Mo Jinghuan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose a little.

"Jing'er, are you really in love with Chu Shan'er? I remember when I asked you to marry her, you didn't want to. The emperor's tone has returned to his usual indifference.

"My father asked my son this question." Mo Jinghuan said lightly: "Even if you don't like it anymore, since she is married, then she is Erchen's wife, no matter when, husband and wife should be one, Erchen will naturally not let her be bullied by outsiders." ”

"What does the prince mean that the princess only allows you to bully?" Ma Shicai couldn't help but ask.

"Presumptuous!" The emperor reprimanded Ma Shicai in a low voice.

"The slave knows his mistake, please forgive the emperor." Ma Shicai immediately knelt down, "It's the slave who said the wrong thing with a lot of mouths." ”

"Father, what Father-in-law Ma said is right, this is what Erchen really meant." Mo Jinghuan generously admitted.

"Whether that's what you mean or not, you can't say that when you go out!" The emperor said sharply: "If this word reaches the ears of Chu Hou, it will not be good. ”

"Yes, Erchen knows." Mo Jinghuan mentioned a sentence and said, "Father, Chu Shan'er is still waiting in the side hall to ask you for your guilt." ”

"Look at you." The emperor shook his head and said lightly: "Old Ma, go and pass Chu Shan'er over." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

But after a while, Chu Shan'er walked in from the side hall.

"Shan'er greets his father." Chu Shan'er bowed to the emperor's blessing.

"When Hibiscus came back, he said that you had improved a lot in your rules, but it seems to be exaggerating." The emperor glanced at Chu Shan'er and said, "That's it, you have such a temperament, even if you are detained, you can't be restrained." ”

"Jing'er said that you entered the palace to ask for sin, what kind of crime do you ask?" The emperor asked indifferently.

"Shan'er's sister-in-law was brutally killed, so Shan'er has been a little impulsive in the past two days, scolded Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department who didn't do his job, and beat Wen Yudie who broke into my room in the middle of the night." Chu Shan'er said: "Shan'er acted impulsively, please punish your father." ”

"Since you said that Zuo Qingyun doesn't do business, then scolding is scolding, do you have fewer courtiers who scold on weekdays?" The emperor said indifferently: "As for Wen Yudie, although I don't know why she broke into your room in the middle of the night, she, as a foreign daughter, should have been punished for trespassing into the princess's room." ”

"So Shan'er is right?" Chu Shan'er changed the scared and nervous look on her face just now, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and even accepted the blessing movement she had been maintaining, "I have frightened Shan'er in the past two days, and I thought that my father would punish me severely!" ”

"Chu Shan'er! Don't be presumptuous in front of your father! Mo Jinghuan frowned, and said coldly: "Who taught you to be so unruly?" ”

"It's not you anyway!" Chu Shan'er replied unceremoniously, looked at the emperor and said: "My father has said that I don't have to be bound by etiquette in the palace, right?" ”

"Yes, I Chrysostom." The emperor said: "You kid, you have done everything, if you are really afraid of my punishment, will you wait until today to enter the palace?" ”

"It's not accompanied by a husband, if you want to be punished, the two of them can share the burden lightly!" Chu Shan'er said with a look of "I'm smart".

Ma Shicai, who was standing beside the emperor, couldn't help but smile, is this clearly going to drag King An into the water together?

"Chu Shan'er, haven't you heard that one person does things and one person does it?" Mo Jinghuan said disgustedly: "It's a shame that I just interceded for you in front of my father." ”

"This ......"

"Okay, okay, you two have something to do and go back and talk slowly, it's getting late, I'm going to rest." The emperor watched the two muttering and arguing below, waving his hand to drive people away.

"Yes, Shan'er retires!" When Chu Shan'er heard that she was asked to go, she immediately turned around, completely impatient to leave.

Ma Shicai looked at the backs of the two of them one after the other, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, although Princess An is twenty years old, her temperament still looks similar to that of a child." ”

"It's not that I was spoiled by those people in the Chu family." The emperor said: "The Chu family is just like this, and they all put everything on their faces, and the others are all like human spirits." ”

"Your Majesty, isn't the third son of the Chu family just like Princess An?"

"If he is really like Chu Shan'er, he will not be like a fish in water among the sons." The emperor said: "I don't know if the family affair that I arranged for Jing'er is right or wrong." ”

"The emperor's decision is naturally right, and the slave is actually quite satisfied with the prince, otherwise he would not have agreed." Ma Shicai said: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, the slave should help you go to rest first!" ”

……

"What did you say to the emperor? How could he have revealed this matter lightly? Chu Shan'er looked at Mo Jinghuan and said in a low voice: "Shouldn't he take this opportunity to make things difficult for me and the Chu family?" Even a few reprimands are relatively normal. ”

"The Chu family has accepted a good fate as a righteous daughter, and the dignified prince of the town asks for justice for his righteous daughter, isn't it normal to make a disturbance?" Mo Jinghuan said: "Did you say? ”

"Come less! My father accepted a good fate as a righteous daughter, how could the emperor really take it seriously. Chu Shan'er said: "Don't you really say it?" ”
