"My lord, help me!"
Xia Jing'er made some soup and wanted to send it to King Cheng's study. When she walked to the door, she heard voices inside.
"Your Majesty, the account book must contain Xiaguan, please help Xiaguan..."
She paused, glanced at Niyun who was holding chicken soup, and signaled her to be silent.
King Cheng's voice was surprised and even more sullen.
"Are you involved in the Yishantang case?"
"Are you crazy? Why did I try so hard to get you into the official department? I finally managed to place an informant under my second brother's nose to help a group of our own people, but you actually..."
"Tell me everything you have done!"
"Aunt Xia, the prince is meeting guests in the study. It's not convenient for you to go in."
The guard next to King Cheng stopped Xia Jing'er, saw the soup cup she brought, and said, "I will help you bring it in."
Xia Jing'er didn't dare to offend the people around Cheng Wang, and her eyes signaled Niyun to hand over the things to the guards.
"Trouble."
Hearing the voices outside, the people in the study paused.
Niyun gave the soup cup to the guard and followed Xia Jinger out.
"Auntie, who is here today?"
King Cheng often met with courtiers at his residence, but unfortunately she was in the backyard and could not find out much about the front yard.
"Why are you asking about this?"
Xia Jing'er said nonchalantly, "Don't ask around in the palace, talk less, and don't cause trouble for me!"
Women in the back house rely on the favor of men, and maids rely on the longevity of their masters.
"Yes, I would like to thank my aunt for your teachings. However, I am curious. Our prince is noble and capable. Many courtiers are rushing to pay their respects to our prince. If the prince takes a step further in the future, my aunt will also be able to take a step further. I am looking forward to it. Okay, slaves are the best.”
These words touched Xia Jing'er's heart. She didn't want to experience the feeling that she had lost her child last time and had no control over her. She didn't want to experience it again in her life.
What he wants is the favor of becoming a king, what he wants is glory and wealth, and the right to trample everyone under his feet!
"Tomorrow you go out of the palace again and find a doctor to recuperate my body. Only after I have a son will I truly gain a foothold in the palace!"
She had to give birth to her eldest son as soon as possible before Weng Ling'er deliberately targeted her!
Niyun responded yes.
Tonight was a sleepless night, Lian Fangyu called Lian Jiaying to the study.
"I originally wanted to work on our relationship and keep you in the capital. With your talents, it will not be difficult to enter the Hanlin Academy. When the prime minister comes out of the Imperial Academy, if our family can have a prime minister, it will really be considered a glorious ancestor!"
Lian Fangyu sighed.
"The imperial court is a place where one can make the most of the situation. I was dismissed by the emperor, and I can't get involved in your errands now. I tried several times with my trustees, but the officials didn't give me the right answer, but someone revealed the news to me. , the emperor wants you to be released."
He felt a little pity.
"Father, my son is willing to go out."
A strong tree trunk needs to take root before it can grow up. He doesn't think he is a smart person, but he is more diligent and down-to-earth and never thinks about things that don't belong to him.
These days, he has attended many banquets and made many classmates. There are many people who write better articles than him. The emperor may have chosen him as the number one scholar because of his diligence and practicality.
He was content.
"Whatever it is like out there, I don't have much experience, so I can't help you."
Lian Fangyu blushed. He relied on his in-law relationship with the Qin family to get to where he is today step by step in the capital. He was vaguely aware of the reason why the emperor did not allow him to go further, but he did not want to believe it. Until today, he was idle at home...
"Ask others for advice."
Lian Jiaying said yes and had nothing else to say.
He is different from Lian Jialiang, Lian Jialiang is the sweetest and can coax people.
For so many years, Lian Fangyu's favorite son failed to pass the exam, but Lian Jiaying, whom he had never paid attention to, got the top prize.
"Your mother has given you a visit these days. You go to your mother's yard tomorrow. The family is in a hurry to get the bride back before you take office."
Lian Jiaying said worriedly: "But brother..."
The eldest son has not yet gotten married, so it is not appropriate for the younger brothers to get married first.
Even Fang Yu also had concerns. Mrs. Zhang had been arguing with him for the past two days, saying that she would give Lian Jialiang a noble girl according to He's idea, otherwise it would be unfilial. The family Qin favored, their mother and son Neither is satisfied.
If the delay continues, Lian Jiaying will be released, and the marriage will be difficult to arrange.
"If the matter is urgent, please discuss it with your mother and see what your mother wants."
Lian Jiaying responded yes.
Lian Fangyu is idle, and he doesn't know how many people are running around outside tonight.
Du Hanyin sneaked into the Ninth Prince's Mansion quietly. Chu Zhiyi was playing with a ring in his hand. He took a look at it and complained: "When did you fall in love with such vulgar things?"
The ring is very large, with a large turquoise stone on the surface, but the ring is very small, as if it is for women.
Chu Zhiyi put the ring away and looked up at him.
"How come Mr. Du has time to come to the palace?"
Du Hanyin rolled her eyes at him and poured a glass of water by herself.
"I came to visit you."
He stared at his legs and hissed, then touched them with his hands.
"After the court ended today, the emperor summoned you to the palace. I heard that you knelt in the imperial study room for three hours? Let me see if your legs can still walk."
Don't become a cripple again.
His words in the morning court warned Emperor Chen not to punish him openly and embarrass him, but they didn't say he couldn't embarrass him secretly.
Let a lame man kneel in the imperial study room. The palace servants who work in the imperial study room dare not tell the news, and the ministers who come to discuss the matter will not tell the outside world, but it is enough to humiliate him!
A normal person can't stand kneeling for three hours, let alone a cripple!
Chu Zhiyi didn't get out of the wheelchair today. Needless to say, there must be injuries on his legs.
"Ask the princess to help you make some medicinal wine."
"eventful!"
"No way, you didn't tell her?"
Du Hanyin's voice was exaggerated.
"tell me what?"
Lian Suisui went to Yishan Hall for a consultation today and took a shower when he came back. He had just finished his work and wanted to eat glutinous rice dumplings made with rice wine, but there was no point in eating it by himself. I heard someone said that Chu Zhiyi came back from the palace and didn't have dinner. , so he asked the kitchen to prepare an extra portion and brought it to him.
"Master Du is here too."
Fortunately, she was afraid that it would not be enough, so she prepared a little more, otherwise she would have had to give up her share...
"Xiao Tao, go get me another bowl and let Mr. Du have a taste too."
Du Hanyin waved his hand and said, "I'm not hungry, I just had dinner!"
Lian Suisui put down the tray and looked at the two of them suspiciously. Du Hanyin's hand was still on Chu Zhiyi's lap. Chu Zhiyi reached out and held his wrist, trying to resist but welcome...
Um, it seems like she came at a bad time?
Sensing her gaze, Du Hanyin hurriedly took his hand away and explained: "Princess, please don't get me wrong, the prince and I have been friends for many years, and there is no other intention..."
Lian Suisui said oh and started to serve the glutinous rice balls.
"What did you just say you didn't tell me?"
What little secret do they two have?
"nothing……"
Du Hanyin had something to say, but Lian Suisui was present and couldn't continue the topic. He refused to leave, which made Lian Suisui feel that she was redundant.
"How about I go out first?"
