Hugging the firefly moon, the green smoke is full of surprises.

was almost strangled to death by her, but Hotaru patted her on the back and hurriedly said, "Eh, tap and tap, I'm here." ”

Qingyan reacted very much, and let go of her with red eyes: "Madam, you scared Qingyan to death, I heard that you were arrested by the people of the Guogong Mansion, and you said that you hurt her, and you couldn't live out of the Guogong Mansion or something, I thought it was ......"

The next words, the green smoke swallowed back.

"I really should let those people who spread rumors see that our lady is obviously here, and it's good!" Shouting loudly, Qingyan deliberately looked at the people around him who wanted to watch the play.

The faces of the eavesdroppers around were red, and they were all embarrassed.

Taking Qingyan's every move to protect her in her eyes, Hotaru patted her shoulder comfortingly: "It's okay, let's go in and talk." ”

Walking into the wind chime stream with a glimmer of hope, when she saw that there was only no customer in the shop, Hotarutsu's heart was full of loss.

Whoever sees their hard work become like this, it will be very uncomfortable in the bottom of their hearts!

Seeing this, Qingyan hurriedly comforted: "There are no new products today, so there are not many people here." ”

After speaking, he turned around and poured tea, but he groped all the places in the wind chime stream very clearly, and Hotaru Yue understood that she was not treated badly in the wind chime stream, and nodded reassuringly.

"You don't have to comfort me, I know, the situation in both shops is not optimistic."

As soon as Hotaru Yue spoke, Qingyan understood that she already knew everything, so she had to continue to comfort: "Actually, such things often happen in the capital, not to mention, everyone is forgetful, and after a few days there are no rumors, the products in their hands are used up, and they will come back to buy them." ”

"Okay."

After knowing that Qingyan was actually kind enough to persuade her, Hotaru didn't caress her kindness anymore.

***

Outside the imperial study, Xie Jingyuan knelt outside under the scorching sun.

"Master Hou, the emperor is reviewing the folds, please wait outside first."

Bringing the words, Gonggong Lin walked aside and waited.

Xie Jingyuan has been the prince's companion since he was a child, and he has long been familiar with all this, but he didn't say anything, knelt respectfully, and waited for the emperor to finish the recital.

Who knows, this kneeling is more than half an hour.

After the criticism, the emperor walked to the window, and caught a glimpse of Xie Jingyuan, who was still kneeling and standing upright outside, and had never even moved, and couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, this Yongning Hou really taught his son very well.

"Let him in."

The emperor finally relented, and when Xie Jingyuan got up, there was no trace of resentment or pain on his face, which caused Gonggong Lin to turn back frequently.

When he entered the imperial study, Xie Jingyuan knelt down and saluted.

The emperor sat behind him and pretended to knock and said, "Do you know what I summoned you today?" ”

Kneeling down, Xie Jingyuan thought in his heart.

He arched his hand and said: "Weichen knows that it is probably for the sake of the people in Beijing. The emperor must have asked the minister why he said that he was sick and dared to be angry with the prince? ”

The emperor's face twitched, and he was a little speechless.

Fortunately, Xie Jingyuan didn't look up, so he walked down, pretending to be angry and said, "You know everything, then I asked you, are you really sick?!" What do you mean when you call yourself sick?! ”

Speaking of this, the emperor couldn't help but look at him again.

Xie Jingyuan's ability has always been visible to everyone, even the crown prince can't cover his light, but the more jealous such a person is!

If Xie Jingyuan had two hearts and deliberately released water to the Nine Princes, it would be regarded as surrender in disguise, while the prince's side saw that he was weak, so he used the method of calling the sick to prevaricate the past.

In addition, the queen came to sue a few days ago, and he remembered an old thing.

Xie Jingyuan didn't know what the emperor was thinking, so he just continued to give his hand and said: "The Hou Mansion has been loyal to the imperial court, the saint, and the world for generations. ”

The tone was very stiff, and there was no suspicion of adulteration in the words.

"At the beginning, I gave the position of the Chi family's Guogong Mansion, and your Xie family only had the title of Hou, and your father obviously had higher credit, so you are not angry about this matter? Is there really no grievance in your heart? The emperor asked.

Xie Jingyuan frowned, pondered for a moment and said: "Back to the emperor, Weichen did have puzzles when he was young, but my father enlightened me and asked Weichen to understand that the heavens will descend on a great task, so as not to have all kinds of tests. It is also said that for the Guogong Mansion, the status of the prince is the best reward, but the emperor has allowed the ministers to be the prince's companion since he was a child, and he made an exception to let the ministers into the cabinet. ”

This is neither humble nor arrogant, and it is extremely comfortable.

Xie Jingyuan was able to enter the cabinet, in fact, it was all based on his own ability, but when he said that he was promoted by the emperor without exception, it seemed that the emperor's grace was much greater.

When the emperor saw that he answered like a stream, he no longer embarrassed him and said: "I've been in for a long time, and I don't know how to stand up and reply." ”

Xie Jingyuan hurriedly got up and thanked him.

"What do you think about the criminals in Beijing?" The emperor asked carefully, he had heard a little about this case, but he had not delved into it.

What's more, it is the most appropriate thing to put this matter in Xie Jingyuan's hands, and he is not worried about anything going wrong at all.

Xie Jingyuan thought for a moment, and when he saw this, the emperor said, "You can say it directly." ”

He simply said bluntly: "The minister thinks that the number of criminals in Beijing is not small, and there must be a promoter behind it, but the prince ordered the minister not to investigate further." The minister thought that the prince was benevolent, and he was afraid that he would be implicated too widely, but the minister thought that there were some things that should not be tolerated. ”

Hearing that the prince would not let him intervene, the emperor's eyes flashed and said, "Then do you have any suspicions?" ”

"The minister has no conclusive evidence now, but if the prince doesn't let the minister continue to investigate, then the minister really has no intention of doing other things." Xie Jingyuan said, and continued: "Seeing that the wind and rain are coming, but it is not allowed to take precautions, the minister does not know what else to do, only to cultivate his mind in the mansion. ”

These words just explain the reason why he recently complained of illness.

Seeing that he was so loyal, the emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "So, what do you think is the prince's position in this incident?" ”

As soon as Xie Jingyuan heard this, he knew that the emperor was waiting for him here.

He didn't rush to answer, he lowered his head and thought carefully, the emperor didn't urge, and some expected him to be able to say a different answer.

In fact, there is no need for Xie Jingyuan to answer, the emperor also knows that the prince is soft-eared and afraid of things. This son was not his preferred candidate for the crown prince in the first place, after all, it was the courtiers who intervened in his choice early on.

But even so, since Lidu was established, he naturally used all his heart to cultivate this son.

It's just that the longer the prince is in the East Palace, the more dissatisfied the emperor's heart becomes.

Xie Jingyuan's performance in the cabinet is obvious to all, and the emperor asked himself if such a strategist gave his family the ninth child, this would not be like a tiger?
