He was very clear about the meaning behind Huo Jingzhi's words.

Panic and weakness, translated as, my Jiguo Mansion can't afford to provoke others.

After all, he's a prince, isn't he?

In particular, he also mentioned the past period of time, and he showed this inability to provoke to the fullest.

The Duke of Ji has never provoked the prince, on the contrary, they are still kind to the prince, and they are still really relatives, what is the result?

The prince calculated that Huo Junyao, the lord of Zhaode County, even if the Duke of Ji Guo knew the truth, he couldn't say anything, let alone dare to say anything, so he could only eat Coptis dumbly.

Besides, this time, the prince's approach is also excessive, but with Emperor Zhaowu's protection, what can the Jiguo Mansion do?

No, you can only eat coptis dumbly, and you have to stand up in the court to defend the prince?

In the final analysis, everything is because the other party is the crown prince, the prince, the future emperor, how can the Jiguo Mansion afford to provoke?

If you change it to yourself, I am afraid that you can only be the same as Ji Guogong.

Soon the two separated, but what happened in the morning became a kind of private conversation among officials.

Among them, the focus is on Huo Jingzhi standing up to defend the prince.

"If he doesn't do this, what else can he do?"

"The family is the crown prince, can the Ji Guo Mansion afford to provoke it?"

In just one morning, there was a consensus among the noble ministers that the prince was something they couldn't afford to provoke.

Take a look at the Jiguo Mansion, the status is too high, how hard the relationship is, and if you are bullied, you can only hold your tail between your legs, and you don't dare to express the slightest dissatisfaction, not to say anything, but you have to be careful to maintain it.

Thinking about Ji Guogong's performance before the early dynasty, it is true to draw a clear line, but isn't this a kind of psychology that can't be provoked and can be hidden?

For a while, many people felt a sense of sadness in their hearts, and this feeling was particularly strong for those nobles.

Hero? Isn't Ji Guogong a hero? He is still the prince's uncle.

Ji Guogong is still like this, what are they?

In the Jiguo Mansion, Huo Jingzhi's father and son have respectfully sent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who came to apologize out of the mansion.

"Dad, although we seem to have suffered a loss this time, we have gained a lot of gains."

In the study, Huo Jinyan opened his mouth with a smile.

Hearing this, Huo Jingzhi also smiled and said; "It can only be said that there is a small gain, and it will take time to achieve the goal."

After all, the emperor and his wife are deeply affectionate, and although the prince has done some stupid things during this time, it is still unrealistic to want the emperor to abolish him.

Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, as long as Empress Shen has another day, as long as the prince does not do anything rebellious, the emperor will not easily move the heart of Yi Chu.

Of course, it is also excellent to be able to make the ministers dissatisfied with the prince little by little.

In this way, the support that the prince can get will be reduced, and the development of the king of Qi and the king of Chu will grow, and both of them are holding back their strength to get the prince down.

And they are also the emperor's sons, and there are many things for them to do, which is much better than doing it in the Jiguo Mansion.

"Take your time, but on the younger sister's side, shouldn't you talk about it? lest she think too much. ”

"Well, I really have to talk about it, your little sister has suffered a lot of grievances during this time."

Huo Jingzhi nodded again and again, he still had to explain the matter to his daughter.

After all, the daughter has only been found for a short time, and they have encountered such things in a row, and they have not yet sought justice for her.

"In this way, tomorrow you will go to the villa in person, explain the matter to your mother first, and let her enlighten your little sister."

The next day, Huo Jinyan went to take leave early, and asked his subordinates to prepare a lot of rice, flour, grain, oil, meat, cloth or something, and rushed to the hot spring villa.

On the hot spring villa, Huo Junyao was still as usual, after getting up and washing up, she went to the greenhouse for a walk before returning to the room for breakfast.

looked like no one was fine, but the eldest princess of Ningyang was a little uneasy in her heart.

I always feel that this daughter has a lot of things hidden in her heart.

I wanted to enlighten and ask a few times, but Huo Junyao smiled and said that she didn't think much about it.

The more she is like this, the more unhappy the eldest princess of Ningyang becomes, and the more dissatisfied she is with the crown prince, even with the emperor and Queen Shen, she has a lot of dissatisfaction.

Dissatisfied is very dissatisfied, but if she can really do something, she really can't do anything.

At most, the emperor can only beat the prince, and as for the rest, don't think about it for the time being.

There are even some things that if you do too much, it will cause big trouble to the Ji Guo Mansion.

"Your Highness, the county lord, the prince is here, and he has brought a lot of things."

Hearing this, the two of them raised their heads together, and the eldest princess of Ningyang understood that this must be news from the capital.

"Let people in."

And although Huo Junyao also thought of it, she didn't have much expectation for this news.

It's just a small punishment, and it's far from the goal of abolishing the prince.

Sure enough, after Huo Jinyan entered the door and greeted her, the eldest princess of Ningyang asked directly, without avoiding Huo Junyao at all.

Seeing the old lady like this, Huo Jinyan thought for a moment, and then spoke directly.

As he finished speaking, the eldest princess of Ningyang turned her head to look at Huo Junyao and said apologetically; "Yaoyao, this time I wronged you again."

In fact, she had already guessed in her heart that the prince's punishment would be like this at most.

"Mother, I'm fine, and I think we've gained a lot this time."

"Something can't be rushed."

As soon as she said this, Huo Jinyan's eyes froze, and her eyes were full of thought when she stared at Huo Junyao.

It seems that her little sister has an unusual brain.

As soon as he wanted to ask, he heard Huo Junyao speak; "Second brother, you came just in time, I researched a new food earlier, it is very delicious, you have to try it today."

"But it's a pity, Dad doesn't have this mouth for the time being."

As soon as she heard her words, the eldest princess of Ningyang immediately said with a smile; "Yes, yes, this thing is indeed very tasty, especially in this winter, I beg you to try it."

Huo Jinyan's state just now, the eldest princess of Ningyang also saw it in her eyes, knowing that her daughter didn't want to say more, so she also diverted the topic.

"Then I'll go get ready."

"Go ahead."

After Huo Junyao left, the eldest princess of Ningyang looked at Huo Jinyan and said; "Don't ask anything, don't say much to the outside world, and don't worry about your little sister, she understands everything in her heart."

Hearing this, Huo Jinyan nodded with a smile; "Don't worry, mother, my son won't talk nonsense, but my little sister's performance is unexpected."

"And the ability is not small, those young ladies from other families in the capital are not as good as our family."

"Of course, your little sister has a lot of skills, and her mother can't see through her."

"Oh?"

Huo Jinyan was a little surprised, this old lady in her family is very powerful, she can't even see through her little sister?
