Emperor Kang sneered, "What do you mean, Emperor Nanyun sneaked into our country to commit crimes and asked me to pretend to be his grandson?"

The ministers kowtow in fear, "I don't dare!"

Emperor Kang took a look at the imperial letter case and said: "It is related to the national prestige of Dongming. I have decided that whoever dares to make noise again will be punished for resisting the decree!"

After saying that, he stood up from the dragon throne and said, "Retreat from the court!"

Mr. Zhao, the Minister of Punishment, frowned slightly, but before leaving the palace, he sent someone to deliver a letter to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was happily preparing New Year's gifts with the Tenth Prince. When she heard the news, she immediately swept all the purses on the table to the floor.

The tenth prince hurriedly coaxed: "Mom, calm down and take care of yourself! If you are sick with anger, what will you do, my child?"

The Empress Dowager said angrily: "You are such a good imperial brother, what you say about Dongming's national prestige is just a matter of lust, and you have lost your head!"

The tenth prince sighed maturely: "Mother and concubine, what the emperor said makes sense. As the emperor, he cannot say nothing about this matter."

The Queen Mother's eyes flashed slightly, she looked at the tenth prince thoughtfully for a while, and suddenly patted the tenth prince's immature shoulder with relief, and said: "What you said makes sense, but your brother is not just pretending, he is moving.

It’s true.”

The tenth prince comforted him: "The emperor has to make some political achievements when he ascends the throne. Miao territory surrenders to Dongming and becomes a vassal state of Dongming. It is also a good political achievement. There are also frequent wars in Nanyun. Nanyun Lengyue has always wanted to overthrow

Nanyun is cold and cold, and Nanyun may not have the energy to invade Dongming."

The Queen Mother calmed down, but she still said displeasedly: "But your imperial brother is not motivated by national affairs, he is doing all this for that vixen..."

Having said this, the Queen Mother looked at the Tenth Prince with a strange look, "You always wanted to marry her when you were a child, but you wouldn't..."

The tenth prince's face turned red and he said seriously: "Mother, how do you remember what happened when you were a child? Even my sons and ministers don't remember this."

Seeing that his expression was solemn and he seemed to be telling the truth, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."

The tenth prince took the beauty hammer from the palace maid's hand, knelt on the ground and gently beat the Queen Mother's legs, and said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I am already old and sensible. Besides, I am not that stupid person."

That means the emperor is a confused person.

The Queen Mother smiled happily, "Ling'er is still considerate," a look of regret flashed in her eyes, and she sighed: "It's a pity that you were born a little late."

The tenth prince's eyes flashed slightly and he said with a smile: "As long as he is the son of his mother, he will be blessed no matter how late he is."

The Queen Mother smiled brightly when she heard this, "Ling'er is so well-behaved and heart-warming."

It would be great if the emperor could be half as well-behaved as the tenth prince. Thinking of this, her expression darkened.

The tenth prince looked at his words and said, "Mother, are you tired? I will leave first."

The Queen Mother nodded, "Go."

The tenth prince saluted the queen mother, "Then queen mother, have a good rest. I will take my leave."

Suddenly remembering something, she said again: "Mother, I heard that there is a group of people who are going to the fiefdom with King Xuan this time. They are waiting for King Xuan at the dock. The leader is an old man with a white beard, the original arrester of Jingzhao Yin.

Bai Qingyan is also inside, I wonder what their relationship is?"

The Queen Mother looked serious and sat up straight, "Is this the case?"

The tenth prince nodded, "I heard that Bai Qingyan is the cousin of Divine Doctor Bai and Zheng Zimo."

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "The Queen Mother knows, go and do your work and learn your skills so that you can take on important responsibilities and help your royal brother in the future."

An unknown light flashed in the eyes of the tenth prince, and he retreated with his personal eunuch.

The Queen Mother said to the maid next to her: "The Ai family is not feeling well. Please ask Bai Qingqing to come into the palace and take a look at the Ai family."

The palace maid agreed and arranged for someone to go to Xuan Bai Qingqing.

The tenth prince over there took a few personal eunuchs and left the Queen Mother's Cining Palace and followed the long palace road back to the prince's residence.

As soon as they turned around a palace wall, they saw Lin Guiren playing with the Fourteenth Prince in the distance. He saw the Tenth Prince coming from a distance, his eyes flickered, and he protected the Fourteenth Prince behind him without leaving any trace.

The tenth prince came closer, looked at the fourteenth prince affectionately, and said with a smile: "Little fourteenth, do you want to go to the prince's residence with the tenth prince?"

The fourteenth prince liked this royal brother who was very kind to him. He walked out from behind Lin Guiren and wanted to hold the tenth prince's hand.

"Oh, forgive me, Your Highness!" Lin Guiren held his son's little hand, "He is so young, I dare not let him go to the prince to cause trouble."

The fourteenth prince pouted and said coquettishly: "I want to go."

Lin Guiren hurriedly coaxed: "Don't you want to eat jujube cake? Maybe it's ripe now."

The one-year-old child's eyes lit up as soon as he heard there was something to eat.

The tenth prince smiled fondly and said: "Snack!"

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to pinch the fourteenth prince's cheek.

Lin Guiren's expression changed greatly. He hurriedly picked up the Fourteenth Prince and saluted the Tenth Prince with a smile: "Without delaying His Highness, the Tenth Highness, it's time for His Highness to eat, so we will leave."

The tenth prince's hand stopped in mid-air, he rubbed his fingers awkwardly, and said with a smile: "Okay, you can go back."

Lin Guiren hurriedly hugged the child and left. Although her steps were as slow and unhurried as possible, her stiff back still showed her panic.

The tenth prince looked at her back thoughtfully, with a hint of viciousness flashing in his eyes, and walked away.

…

Bai Qingqing entered the palace, asked someone to send a letter to Concubine De, and went to see her later.

She also did this because she thought that if the Queen Mother was not good for her, she would also have to worry about Concubine De.

Entering the Cining Palace, I saw the Queen Mother, dressed elegantly and luxuriously, sitting high on the throne with a gloomy expression.

"My wife pays homage to the Queen Mother!" Bai Qingqing lowered her eyebrows and knelt down, hiding the disgust in her eyes.

It's not that she hates the Queen Mother, but she hates kneeling.

No modern person would like to kneel down to others.

The Queen Mother did not let her go without courtesy, and asked directly: "I heard that Bai Qingyan, the head catcher of Jing Zhaoyin, is your cousin?"

Bai Qingqing's lowered eyes flashed slightly and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, yes."

The Queen Mother asked: "Where is he now?"

Bai Qingqing said: "I went to the southwest fiefdom with King Xuan."

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes, "Why?"

Bai Qingqing said: "Because if he goes to the fiefdom of King Xuan, he can become a higher official than a head catcher."

The Queen Mother looked displeased, Bai Qingqing was really unscrupulous in asking and answering questions.

He continued to ask: "Who is the old man accompanying him? I heard that he was very respectful to the old man."

"It was the person who Princess Xuan entrusted him to find. It is said that he was Princess Xuan's grandfather. He fell off a cliff while collecting medicine for Princess Xuan more than ten years ago. He broke his brain and lost his memory. Bai Qingyan is a head catcher and is best at finding people.

Because of this, he made great contributions and was valued by King Xuan." Bai Qingqing finished her words in one breath. Fortunately, she had already agreed with Shangguan Ruoli and Bai Qingyan on her words.

There was a flash of suspicion in the Queen Mother's eyes, and her tone was aggressive, "Besides, what is the identity of the old man?"
