As a frequent visitor to the palace, she had been to Qingyuan Palace Shengyuan countless times, but this was her first time entering Lanzheng Palace.
Several children who were followed by Commander He were carried to the front of the palace as if they were being held by their collars. Yang Xun, the eunuch who was guarding the door outside, was overjoyed to see them.
In the inner hall, Emperor Chengyuan's eyes were slightly closed, and the prince next to him was spinning his cup playfully. The father and son of the Protector who was begging for mercy from His Highness were both uneasy.
Emperor Chengyuan nodded slightly when he heard Yang Xunzhen say congratulations on the commander's return. But when he heard that Sheng Yuan and others were also coming, he opened his eyes in surprise: "Let them meet in person."
Prince Jiang Huaiqian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard his nephew's name.
When Shengyuan and the others followed Commander He in, his first reaction was to look at the state of the three children.
He could not help but shake his head secretly when he saw those two silly boys, Anyu and Lu Sheng, lingering behind Sister Yuan, wishing they could hide themselves.
He said in his heart, these two silly boys didn't even think about it. Even if Sister Yuan is chubby, she can't hide them!
Um? Sister Yuan! Thinking of the little girl who had the biggest ideas in the trio, he took a closer look.
I found that this little girl was completely different from usual!
The little girl, who was usually fearless, now looked up, down, left, and right. Anyway, she was not looking at the most central place.
With that guilty look on their faces, anyone could tell that they had done nothing good.
After Prince Jiang Huaiqian had this idea, he reflexively put his hand on his chest.
He felt that he might need to use this posture later.
On his side, Emperor Chengyuan looked at the leader, Sister Yuan, coming over to salute with a sneer on his face, and he couldn't help but get the idea out of habit.
He laughed twice and looked in a good mood. He waved to Sheng Yuan and turned to tell Yang Xun: "Prepare...well, prepare four small chairs and place them next to the prince."
As for Sheng Xiangxun, who ran back again, he casually pointed to the original seat: "You can find a place to sit by yourself."
After finishing speaking, he said to Commander He: "If there is nothing important, you can go to the outer garden of the palace to prepare."
Commander He snorted and said: "I am reporting back to Your Majesty that the weapons depot that was previously stored in the east part of the central city was suspected to have been destroyed by a girl from a family with the thirteenth surname. I have sent people to investigate. The specific reason is that Miss Sheng and others You can all answer your questions, I will retire.”
After he finished speaking, he bowed and left, leaving the Tian family father and son in a daze, who were stunned by the news.
Emperor Chengyuan couldn't hold the tea bowl firmly and almost threw it out.
That is a weapon made of fine steel selected from the entire mine!
His hand was trembling with pain, while Prince Jiang Huaiqian was stunned with pain.
The heir of Dachu unconsciously rubbed his chest, and words kept popping up in his mind: "This must be a big loss!"
Sheng Yuan and others had been paying attention to the adults' reactions. When they saw the attitude of the emperor and prince, they immediately shrank their necks and wished they could hide under the table.
"Ahem." The old emperor still had a strong psychological quality. He felt distressed for a moment, and then he recovered. After all, after today, there will be a large amount of income to make up for the distress.
"Sister Yuan!" Emperor Chengyuan tried his best to put on a kind smile, and looked at the guilty little girl with a warm tone, "Please tell me in detail."
Sheng Yuan heard the sound, wiped away the non-existent cold sweat, swallowed his saliva, nodded, and briefly told what happened.
"..." After hearing this, Emperor Chengyuan was silent for a moment. He squeezed out a smile and asked Sheng Yuan to sit back. He turned to tell Yang Xun, "Why didn't Prince Cheng mention this just now? You should be punished! Go and send a message to them." Discuss among yourself how much silver fine is appropriate!"
As a loving father, it is difficult to determine the number, lest the amount is too large and appear to be stingy.
Seeing Yang Xun bowing and going out, Emperor Chengyuan felt much relieved, and he was also in a mood to turn around and praise Shengyuan and others: "You guys did a good job! But next time, I'd like to trouble you to come up with a procedure, so that you kill first and then show off... It's a bit overwhelming. .”
Sheng Yuan had always been sensible, and when he saw the emperor's aunt and uncle's distressed eyes shrinking a bit, he didn't dare to wait any longer, so he hurriedly nodded and said yes.
The prince also felt relieved now. When he saw Brother Yu who was looking at him quietly, he couldn't help but rub his head.
The next time Anshi beats this boy up, he will assign the stick to him! So irritating!
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, and the ministers are willing to dedicate the accumulated family property of the Protector's Mansion to the imperial court." The old Protector Yang Ban suddenly spoke, causing the smiles on the faces of Emperor Chengyuan and the Crown Prince to disappear suddenly.
Emperor Chengyuan looked at his trembling nephew with a flash of disgust in his eyes.
"You shouldn't speak at this time. It's time for you to speak when the opera singer comes on stage. Before now, it was your responsibility to keep silent."
"I am guilty!" Emperor Chengyuan's lukewarm words frightened the two Lord Protectors to immediately kowtow and accuse him.
Emperor Chengyuan was impatient to pay attention to them now. He became angry just looking at this stupid father and son!
Thinking of how wise and wise his father-in-law Yang Suizi was!
I have a son and a daughter who are also well raised.
His wife Yang Tiao is as beautiful as a man, and is better than many men? !
His wife's brother Yang Han was a loyal and chivalrous person. How many deeds were praised by others? !
Why are his descendants so unworthy!
If it weren't for the fact that their father and son looked very similar to his father-in-law, he would have thought that the heir to the Protector's Palace would have been replaced by someone else!
The prince watched his father's expression change several times, and began to think about the property of the Protector's Palace.
As long as my father separates Empress Yuan from the two in front of me, it will not be a dream for the Chu court to make more money!
Xu Shilanzheng Palace was bound to be lively in the middle of the night. Emperor Chengyuan had just finished scolding Yang Ban when Yang Xun came in again to announce that Duke Sheng Guo, along with his second son Sheng Xiangjiang and his granddaughter Sheng Han, asked to see him.
"Why is the old man here?" Sheng Xiangxun was startled, and then he found that his second brother, who shouldn't have been there, was also here. Suddenly, many speculations came to mind.
"Sister Yuan, your cousin is here too!" Anyu was very curious, "Is it possible that your cousins also took the initiative?"
"I don't know." Sheng Yuan shook her head, she was also confused!
In all her life, she had never met her grandfather in the palace.
"Yes!" Emperor Chengyuan nodded, turned around and saw Duke Huguo and his son, and asked them to kneel in the outer hall angrily.
When Duke Sheng Guo walked to the inner hall, he first did not expect that the Duke Protector and his son, who had always been treated well, would stumble out of the inner hall in a state of sweating and embarrassment. Then he saw his third son and granddaughter in the inner hall, and couldn't help but Another surprise.
Why are these two men in the palace?
He was surprised in his heart, but in front of him, Quan Zuo disappeared after scanning his eyes, and he bowed to the emperor and the prince in a proper manner.
When Emperor Chengyuan called him up and asked him why he came to the palace in a gentle voice, he took out the two memorials he had prepared and handed them to Yang Xun.
"The matters I have reported are too confidential to be disclosed directly, so I will write down the details first. Your Majesty's holy candle will illuminate them, so that I can refer to my second son's words. My granddaughter Sheng Han can also answer your Majesty's questions."
Emperor Chengyuan nodded and gave Duke Sheng a seat: "That's fine. Waiting is always boring. It's good to have something to do. I'll take a look first."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and read the memorial of Sheng Guogong.
Down below, the uneasy Sheng Han looked at Sheng Yuan who was eating and drinking freely in front of him, feeling shocked and jealous for a moment.
