Before dawn today, those old ministers gathered at the gate of the East Palace and jointly wrote a letter to open a warehouse for disaster relief.

The heavy snow in the north this winter has been affected, and the imperial court has allocated a large amount of disaster relief silver, and has also bought grain from several surrounding state capitals that have not been affected by the disaster.

But it can be deducted layer by layer, and there are very few that can really be sent to the people.

Yan Wen didn't know about it, but the forces of all parties were intertwined, and it was not an overnight thing to change.

Moreover, a few years ago, Dayan had just experienced a locust plague, and had fought with Xirong for a few years earlier, and the warehouse had long been in deficit, and now the grain in this warehouse was only enough for the minimum standard of national reserves.

The words of opening a warehouse for disaster relief, those ministers said it easily, but they didn't know that they were just talking about it, but the prince stayed up for a few nights to light up the lights and settle the accounts.

Yan Wen was assassinated last night, and when he came back, he rested late, and he didn't sleep well all night thinking about Shen Ruolian's words, and he was really troubled by those old ministers early in the morning.

He held on to the gentleness on his face, and talked to those old ministers in a friendly manner all morning before sending the group of old stubborns back.

Just as he was thinking of going to lie down on the couch for some lunch, the emperor summoned him again.

The emperor has been obsessed with cultivation for the past two years, and almost threw all state affairs to Yan Wen.

His son is very competitive, not to mention that he was born with a dragon and a phoenix, and the most important thing is that he has a great talent for governing the country.

This time, he called Yan Wen to say that he was going to retreat and cultivate, and instructed him to say something, which basically meant that he didn't bother him if he had nothing to do.

Yan Wen: ......

Yes.

"It is important for the father to enlighten the emperor, don't miss the father's cultivation because of the ancestors and the people of the dawn."

The emperor didn't think there was anything wrong with his words, he hummed cheekily, put on his robe and entered the dark room.

Yan Wen glanced coldly at the closed door, and turned away with a cold face.

As soon as he came out of the emperor's place, the empress's grandmother came to invite him again.

Yan Wen rubbed his swollen and aching temples, and there was already irritability in his eyes.

Li Fuan quietly glanced at the prince and hesitated, "Your Highness, do you want to put some dim sum first?" ”

Yan Wen glanced sideways at the food box Li Fuan was holding in his hand and waved his hand.

From morning to now, I'm going to be annoyed to death, how can I have a little appetite to eat.

Yan Wen squinted his eyes for a while, and then arrived at Fengqi Palace.

When the queen saw him coming, she frowned slightly, her voice was full of concern, "Why is the prince looking more and more haggard, and his face is so bad today?" Is it that lunch is not good? ”

Yan Wen: ......

Yan Wen helped the queen in and sat down, with a gentle smile and clear eyes, and said softly:

"The queen mother is worried a lot, everything is fine with the sons, but the queen mother, the two days have been much better than when she first came back."

Seeing that he looked as usual, the queen thought that she was too worried, and her son had never let her worry much since he was a child.

He's good at everything, but when it comes to women......

As soon as she thought of this, the queen suddenly remembered the purpose of calling him this time.

She took out a booklet from the side, handed it to Yan Wen, patted his hand, and said earnestly:

"See, do you have a favorite?"

Yan Wenmei's heart skipped a beat, staring at the booklet in the queen's hand, but he didn't answer, "Queen Mother, you don't have to read it, Erchen thinks that Sun-"

"The queen mother knows that you like Sun Jingchu, but as the prince, you can't have only one woman in the East Palace, these are all high-ranking ladies of the right age, you can take a look, and when you and the princess get married, the queen mother will be the master and bring people in for you."

Yan Wen didn't know how to reply, he had already talked to the queen many times on this issue, and he had always disliked the harem women.

In his opinion, setting a crown princess is already completing the task.

Besides, he didn't like Sun Jingchu in his heart, he just thought she was suitable.

Yan Wen breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and when he saw that the queen insisted on handing over the booklet, he took it with a light smile and put it aside:

"If the queen mother is bothered, the son-in-law will go back and take a good look, and then give the queen mother an answer in a few days."

-

He patiently talked to the queen for half the afternoon, and when he came out of the queen's palace, the sky had already begun to darken.

After only a few steps, the queen's eldest palace maid behind her suddenly chased out, holding the booklet in her hand, "Your Highness, you forgot to take the booklet." ”

Yan Wen's eyes were moist, the smile on his lips was gentle, he bowed his head slightly to her, and thanked her warmly.

As soon as Yu Yuan turned the Hanging Flower Gate, the smile on Yan Wen's face suddenly turned cold.

He impatiently threw the booklet to Li Fuan, tapped his forehead with his slender fingers, and after a while, asked, "Is Jianing back?" ”

Li Fuan took the booklet, glanced at it, and knew that the prince was annoyed at the moment, so he had to say, "Back, back." ”

The prince turned his head sideways, and his sharp eyes fixed on Li Fuan's face.

Li Fuan's expression was shocked, his back was chilled by being stared at, and his waist bent lower, and then he said what he had hidden half-hidden, "It's just that I came back in Pei Xiaogongzi's carriage." ”

His Highness was so angry with the princess last night that he could hear the noise in the house until the second half of the night when he was keeping vigil outside.

Early this morning, His Royal Highness saw that his anger had disappeared a lot, and he was worried about ordering Xue Nian to pick up the princess in person, but the princess didn't even look at it, and turned her head and got into the carriage of the little son of the Pei family.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gave the steps, but the princess couldn't come down.

After Li Fuan finished speaking, he waited cautiously for a long time, but he never saw the prince speak, and couldn't help but take a sneak look.

But I saw the prince leaning on the chariot with his eyes closed, and he didn't know whether he was thinking about the problem or falling asleep.

Now that the prince is thinking deeply, he is becoming more and more incomprehensible.

When he was about to arrive at the gate of the East Palace, Yan Wen suddenly opened his eyes, ordered Yu Yuan to stop, and instructed Xiao Shunzi, "Look ahead, Jia Ning is here?" If she wants to see Lonely, she will say that Lone is in the study and let her go back. ”

Xiao Shunzi let out a "huh" and ran away.

After a while, he ran back, his breath was not yet steady, and his smile was flattering, "Your Highness, Your Highness, rest assured, the servant has asked, asked, the princess has not come here today!" ”

“……”

Yan Wen paused for a moment, and answered from his nose, "Okay." ”

The voice was inaudible.

Yu Yuan entered the East Palace, walked for half an hour, and when he was about to reach the door of the main hall, Yan Wen suddenly said coldly, "Inform the Internal Affairs Office that Pei Shuangjin's name will be added to this year's draft." ”

Li Fuan looked up sharply.

He remembered that Pei Shuangjin was the little lady of the Pei family and the younger sister of Pei Xiaogongzi, but the girl seemed to be only twelve years old this year.

…… Your Highness, is it not mistaken?

Li Fuan swallowed his saliva, and was about to be bold enough to remind, when he suddenly saw Xue Nian walking in quickly, "Your Highness, I found it." ”

Yan Wen looked at the sky, took a deep breath, and the corners of his lips slowly hooked.

Very good.

"Tell the dining room that dinner doesn't have to be prepared."

The dark tone made Li Fuan startled suddenly, and then he remembered that His Royal Highness hadn't eaten a serious meal in the evening today.

Li Fuan: ......

-

After Shen Ruolian returned to the palace, she actually went to find Yan Wen.

According to her previous temperament, if she made a mistake, she would definitely take the initiative to find Yan Wen to admit her mistake as soon as possible, carefully pull his sleeve, and apologize coquettishly, and Yan Wen relented.

So she did the same this time, and as soon as she came back and changed her clothes, she hurried to the East Palace.

However, when she just walked on the road leading to the East Palace, she suddenly bumped into Sun Jingchu, who was walking towards her.

Recently, she doesn't know why, but she can always be seen in the palace.

Shen Ruolian subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but Sun Jingchu stopped her first.

She had to turn around and squeeze out a smile at her, "Miss Sun."

Sun Jingchu stepped forward to greet her with a smile, and took her hand cordially, like an elder, "I haven't seen her for a few days, but the princess is a lot more beautiful." ”

Shen Ruolian didn't want to be pulled by her, and when she heard her say this, she wasn't too happy in her heart, but felt that she was so hypocritical.

She pulled her hand out of her hand by scratching her head, and smiled reluctantly, "Sister Sun is polite, if it's okay, I'll leave first." ”

Sun Jingchu didn't seem to see the coldness in her attitude, looked behind her, and reminded her intimately, "Is the princess going to find His Royal Highness the Prince?" Your Highness was called by the Queen Mother, and she hasn't come back yet, and the princess wants to-"

"I'm not going to look for the royal brother."

Shen Ruolian interrupted her.

Sun Jingchu's tone was too familiar, as if she was the only one who knew Yan Wen very well.

She didn't like her tone very much, nor did she like the closeness to him that was shown in her tone.

The sour stinging sensation in Shen Ruolian's heart came out again, and her voice was also sorrowful, "I just ate too much dinner, and I came out to take a stroll to eliminate my food, I'll leave first if there's nothing to do, goodbye Sister Sun." ”

After that, without waiting for Sun Jing's initial reaction, Shen Ruolian turned around and lifted the hem of her skirt and walked back quickly to the original road.

Sun Jingchu opened her mouth, but finally said nothing.

Although Shen Ruolian had already left, she still saluted the princess's back according to the rules.

After that, she slowly straightened up, looking thoughtfully at Shen Ruolian's somewhat hasty back, not knowing what she was thinking.
