Chapter 12 Please

Fu Mingjue is not in the house, and Ling Youyao has no chance to please him. A clever woman can't make a meal without rice, so she can only wait for Fu Mingjue to come back.

The ordnance shipped to Liangzhou was stolen and exchanged, causing a great disturbance in the court.

No one expected that the black iron ordnance that had been built with so much money would be dropped right under their noses. If King Jing hadn't personally inspected the camp and discovered the clues, the batch of inferior ordnance would have left the capital.

As soon as this incident came out, the Minister of Industry and the Minister of War were suspended for investigation, and all the people responsible for guarding the ordnance were imprisoned. For a while, there were constant lamentations in the cell.

Gu Boyan, the minister of Dali Temple who was ordered to assist in investigating the case, caught up with Fu Mingjue after leaving the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, I have a few questions to ask you."

Fu Mingjue had known he would come, so he asked: "What do you want to ask Mr. Gu?"

"When the prince captured Zhao Ming, besides the teahouse, did he find any other clues?" Gu Boyan carefully looked at the young man's face.

In fact, when Jiang Liu sent the people to Dali Temple, he also handed over Zhao Ming's petition, but apart from providing the location where the weapons were hidden, there was nothing else.

Fu Mingjue said calmly: "Zhao Ming is just a little guy. If you want to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, you have to start from the teahouse."

Speaking of the teahouse, Gu Boyan was in trouble again: "I have checked Huang Xu, and his background is clean. He bought the teahouse five years ago. The business has been average these years, and there is nothing suspicious about it."

The owner of the teahouse, Huang Xu, is just an ordinary merchant, with a total wealth of only a hundred thousand taels. After checking Huang Xu's three clans and the people who have interacted with him in the past year, no clues were found.

When Fu Mingjue heard this, the corners of his lips slightly curved: "The cleaner it is, the more things can be investigated."

Gu Boyan was confused after hearing this, and wanted to ask more details, but Fu Mingjue said: "Master Gu, it looks like it's going to rain. You should go back quickly. Don't get your clothes wet."

Having said that, Fu Mingjue had already got on the carriage first.

"Your Majesty." Gu Boyan hesitated as he stood in front of the palace gate.

What can I ask if I catch up? Even if I ask, can Fu Mingjue tell him?

Not long after, dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky where the sun was shining brightly just now, and a strong wind blew away the warmth.

Gu Boyan folded his sleeves and originally wanted to go home, but when he thought of a hot case on his hands, he turned around and walked back to Dali Temple.

Summer rains always come quickly, with big raindrops falling in pitter-patter patterns, and there is no place to take shelter from the rain.

Just when Gu Boyan wanted to run to Dali Temple to take shelter from the rain, a clear car bell suddenly sounded behind him.

The green-covered carriage stopped in front of him, and a person poked out of the window: "Master Gu, are you going to Dali Temple? I happen to be on the way, can I give you a ride?"

This rain came and went quickly.

When Fu Mingjue returned to the palace, the rain had stopped.

After receiving the news, Ling Youyao held up the hairpin on her temples and said to Lu Bao: "Let's go, take your things, let's go see the prince."

Lu Bao responded, took the cakes he had just made at noon, and went out with Ling Youyao.

When Xia Cheng saw Ling Youyao, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "Princess, are you here? The prince has just returned, and my subordinates will report it right away."

Ling Youyao stopped him: "No, I can just go in by myself."

Xia Cheng stepped out of the way with a smile.

Entering the main courtyard, Ling Youyao found that there were almost no flowers and plants in the courtyard, and there was only a solitary peach tree standing in the courtyard.

The trees are covered with pink and tender fruits, which are large and round. Someone must have taken good care of them.

Unexpectedly, Fu Mingjue would plant fruit trees in the yard when he looked at Leng Bingbing alone.

Ling Youyao stood under the tree and watched for a while. Some of the fruits had been pecked by birds, while others were overripe and falling heavily on the branches.

"Lubao, have you ever drank peach-flavored tea?" Ling Youyao suddenly asked.

Lubao didn’t understand: “Besides tea, does tea have any other flavor?”

"Of course." Ling Youyao thought of fruit tea and fell into memories, "That kind of tea not only has the fragrance of tea, but also the sweetness of peaches."

Lu Bao listened carefully and couldn't imagine what the tea the princess was talking about tasted like.

"Not only are there peach-flavored tea, but also pear-flavored tea, and..."

Ling Youyao listed dozens of kinds of fruit tea in succession, forgetting why she came to the main courtyard.

Lu Bao looked at his girl's hungry wolf-like eyes and said quietly: "Princess, are you trying to pick the prince's peaches?"

"I kind of want to." Ling Youyao admitted generously.

Green treasure: "."

This peach is not fun to pick.

Fu Mingjue had long heard that Ling Youyao had come in. He waited in the room for a long time without seeing anyone. When he came out, he found out that he was thinking about his peach.

The little girl stood under the tree, looking longingly at the tree full of peaches. She was wearing a light green skirt and pink embroidered shoes.

Fu Mingjue thought: Looking at her like this, she looks like a peach.

Ling Youyao didn't know that in someone's mind, she was like a peach, so she secretly thought about this peach tree and thought about picking two to taste when Fu Mingjue was away.

What a wonderful peach, but no one picks it, what a waste!

Ling Youyao looked away, remembering that she still had business to do, and said, "Let's go, let's pick peaches next time."

"Ah" Lu Bao said with a bitter look on his face, "Is there a next time?"

If the prince knew about it, she wouldn't be able to bear his anger.

Ling Youyao didn't take it seriously and took the food box from Lu Bao's hand: "Well, just wait for me outside."

After saying that, he walked in with brisk steps.

Ling Youyao carried the food box, stood at the door of the study, and knocked gently: "Your Majesty, are you there?"

A moment later, Fu Mingjue's calm voice came from inside: "Come in."

Ling Youyao pushed the door open and went in.

The study room was filled with books. Fu Mingjue was sitting at the desk, lowering his head and writing something.

Ling Youyao carefully placed the pastries in front of Fu Mingjue as if feeding a ferocious beast: "Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work. I brought you some snacks. You can try them."

Fu Mingjue did not raise his head to look at her, but simply said: "I don't eat sweets, so you can take them back and eat them yourself."

Ling Youyao: "."

She was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Your Highness, can I grind the ink for you?"

Fu Mingjue ignored her, but silently made room for her.

Ling Youyao is satisfied and her red sleeves are fragrant. Isn't that what it is?

While she was studying ink, she was reading Fu Mingjue's official documents.

Fu Mingjue's calligraphy is very beautiful, vigorous, powerful, and flowing. Compared with her ghostly calligraphy, it is simply a world of difference.

Sometimes, watching someone write is also a kind of enjoyment.

Ling Youyao was very fascinated by it, as if she understood it after just seeing it.

Fu Mingjue felt someone's hot gaze and said: "The Ling family has been a scholar for generations, and the world-famous Huai'an layman came from the Ling family. Your father's calligraphy was also praised by the late emperor."

Ling Youyao had a bad feeling, why did she tell her this?

Then Fu Mingjue said: "I think you should be pretty good too."
