The queen summoned Jasper, who was standing at the door of the main hall, and said in a low voice:

"Xiao Yu'er, you go to the East Palace in person, you want to meet the prince himself, and tell him that the palace wants to see him as soon as possible, go quickly."

"The slave obeys."

Jasper nodded, and quickly withdrew.

Cao Feiyan sighed, leaned back on the armchair, and took a nap.

……

East Palace West Study.

The Prince was prostrating himself on the Tiger case to review the report from the Privy Council.

This morning, he went to the Zichen Palace to greet Emperor Jiye, and by the way, he mentioned the two crimes of smuggling weapons and privately setting up an underground money bank in Cao Fu.

As a result, before he could say the following, he was reprimanded by His Majesty in person.

"Zhi'er, I have told you many times that the imperial court cannot have civil strife, you want to suppress the Cao Mansion, take back the authority of the Cao Minister, weaken the power of the Cao Group, etc., these are all right, I can support you, but I don't support you and want to completely destroy the Cao Clan, which is equivalent to forcing the Cao Clan to rebel."

"The Cao family has been deeply rooted for hundreds of years, and the branches and leaves are luxuriant, and the power of his capital is only a part, and the external forces, especially in the wealthy families in various places, the Cao family has considerable influence and appeal."

"Once they decide to rebel and there is no turning back, they will definitely fight desperately, and just as you are going all out to deal with the Cao family, King Ning and they will start from the south, first make an independent kingdom in the south, and then attack in the north, what should you do?"

These words came out of the mouth of his father, and it was obvious that someone had said them in front of him.

There is no need to guess, this person is Queen Cao Feiyan.

Returning from the Zichen Hall in a disgraced manner, Yuan Zhi could only endure it first when he thought about it.

Maybe my father has a point.

But it's hard to swallow, Cao Fu has been secretly competing with himself, which is unbearable.

"Your Highness, the queen mother sent someone over and said that she wanted to see you independently."

At this time, the secretary Qiu Feng whispered in his ear.

Yuan Zhi was stunned when he heard this, "Isn't the queen stationed in Cao Mansion, who did she send over?" ”

"She claims to be the chief female officer next to Niangniang, called Biyu."

The first time I saw Qiu Feng, it was also the first time I heard of Biyu, the female official of Funing Palace, the big celebrity around the queen's mother.

"Oh, it's Jasper, you let her in, you bring the door closed when you go out, and no one is allowed to come in."

"Yes."

Qiu Feng was also surprised, this was the second time that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had asked her to avoid it.

In this way, Yuan Zhi got up from the tiger case and sat down on the couch chair used for the reception next to him.

The little Lori-like Jasper walked in, and when she saw that the prince had sent people out, she was a little flattered in an instant.

In the past, she has come to the East Palace several times, but she has never had this kind of treatment.

She glanced at the prince a little shyly, knelt on the ground and saluted, "Slave Jasper has seen His Royal Highness the Prince, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose." ”

"Ouch Jasper, please get up quickly, in front of a lonely person, there is no need for such a big gift, no, no... Everything is free of courtesy. ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and reached out his hand to help him up.

Biyu didn't expect the prince to personally help her, and her cheeks turned red all of a sudden.

She broke free lightly and whispered, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the slave can't afford it. ”

"Huh?"

This time it was Yuan Zhi's turn to be stunned.

Isn't this little Lori already done it herself?,Although there's nothing like that.,But hugging、Kissing has been.。

Moreover, she also accepted the prince's jade pendant, indicating that she was the one on the prince's side.

"What's wrong Jasper, I haven't been alone with you for months, why did I become rusty?"

Yuan Zhi wondered.

"The prince is the future prince, the slave maid used to have some extravagant expectations, and it feels inappropriate to think about it recently, the slave and maid are a little palace maid, how dare you... It's better to keep to yourself, and you don't dare to hope for it anymore. ”

Biyu took a step back and bowed, and said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Yuan Zhi understood that she was beside the queen mother, and what she saw and heard must be the same as the stupid master who followed her, not only misunderstanding, but even resentment.

Of course, the prince will not give up easily.

It was not easy to win such a rare person by the queen's side, especially in the current complex and changeable situation, he needed Jasper even more for his own use.

"Biyu, you misunderstood Prince Ben, to be honest, I like to stay with you more than the queen mother!"

Yuan Zhi put down the prince's shelf and used the routine of ordinary men pursuing girls, the sweet love offensive.

"Huh? Why? ”

Jasper was fooled, and she stupidly followed her into the pit.

"Because I think you are beautiful, charming and moving, the key is a good temper, gentle and understanding, so I like you more, is this reason enough?"

Yuan Zhi leaned in and hugged her gently, looking at her beautiful loli face and said.

"Ahh

Biyu's face suddenly flushed, and her heart was pounding, both shy and happy.

This is the first time a man has praised her like this.

Last time it was because of ambition.

But these days, the prince is unpredictable, happy and sad, and even the queen mother was tormented by him, and almost became a nervous disorder.

Think about yourself as an ordinary female official in the palace, like a little pet to the prince, play with it at the beginning of her happiness, and after a while, she will be abandoned.

In the future, the crown prince will ascend the throne and become the emperor, and there will be seventy-two concubines in three palaces and six courtyards around him, and there will be a place for her to stand.

So, her attitude towards the crown prince changed.

She no longer has illusions about the prince's newspaper, and serves the queen wholeheartedly, at least she will not have to worry about food and clothing in this life, and she can help her family with some extra money.

Seeing Jasper's cramped, uneasy, shy and cute appearance, Yuan Zhi felt a burst of satisfaction.

This palace maid who is not deeply involved in the world, the queen's former female official, as long as she uses a little means and says some sweet words, it is not a matter of being caught?

Thinking of this, Yuan Zhi felt that he must win her heart this time.

"Biyu, you may have some misunderstanding of Lone, thinking that I am a ruthless prince who just wants to use you and play with your feelings?"

As he spoke, Yuan Zhi hugged her tighter, looking at her affectionately with his eyes.

And at this moment, Jasper's whole person is in a circle! The head is buzzing.

The words of the prince were still swirling in her mind, lingering.

For the first time, a man showed his heart nakedly.

For the first time, a man said he liked her.

It was the first time to be stared at so affectionately by a man.

Her whole heart couldn't help but thump, and her little face was even more red and dripping blood.

Just when her head was confused, Yuan Zhi had already held a pair of her slender jade hands and said to her affectionately:

"Jasper, you know what? From the first time I went to the Queen Mother's Shulan Palace, I accidentally saw you, and I have been deeply attracted to you. ”

"It's just that it was inconvenient to talk to you at that time, and my relationship with the queen mother hadn't developed to that point, so..."
