Hearing this sentence, the prince's face became very ugly, "What can't we talk about? It's so urgent! What else is more important than my father's departure? It's delayed the serious business, please be careful.
Your skin!”
The eunuch did not dare to delay, "Something happened in Dengzhou. Previously, Baoding said that there were rogue bandits causing trouble. His Highness recommended Zhao Qingshan as the commander and went to put down the bandits..."
When the Crown Princess heard this, she quickly said: "Isn't this matter over? All the bandits have been put down. My father clearly rewarded Qingshan, so what else can happen?"
Zhao Qingshan is Zhao Mingxi's side brother. Although the relationship is not very close, he may be capable and good at getting things done. He has transfused a lot of blood to the Zhao family and the East Palace by relying on his family's business.
At the same time, he also relied on the strength of the East Palace to climb to his current position step by step. Since the younger generation in the family is willing to make progress, Queen Zhao and Zhao Mingxi are naturally willing to cultivate him. Seeing that he has made a small contribution, it really makes the aunt and nephew
I was happy for a while.
With the help of her mother's family, Zhao Mingxi was more dignified in front of the prince, so when she heard the eunuch say this, she felt a little nervous.
The eunuch didn't care about offending the princess in front of the prince. The news came too suddenly. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and his voice was trembling. "The news that just came seems... it seems that the news about the bandits is a lie."
information."
After saying this, not only Zhao Mingxi's face was filled with astonishment, but even the prince showed a bit of displeasure, "What are you talking nonsense about? The thief has been brought to justice in the capital, so how can he tell you false news?"
The prince's question made the eunuch even more nervous. There was another layer of sweat on his forehead, and the clothes on his back were wet with sweat. He felt faint. "This news came so urgently that I didn't have time to investigate it carefully."
, I just said that there were no bandits, and those who died were civilians!"
This means...
Kill a good person and take credit?!
Zhao Mingxi also turned pale, "Can you tell me clearly, what do you mean by civilians dying? Wasn't it because rogue bandits caused chaos in several villages before that we sent people out to quell the chaos?"
"They are all commoners!" The eunuch's scalp was numb when the prince and his wife saw him. Even though his legs were weak, he knelt down. "I really don't know the specific slaves, but I heard that His Highness King Chen and Eunuch Han have already heard about it.
I'm afraid the cabinet has also received wind of this matter.
Seeing that the Holy One was about to leave seclusion, I was afraid of missing something, so I didn't dare to delay, so I reported over here first."
The prince is in charge of the East Palace, how can he not have his own team?
"Where's Mr. Tan?"
"Mr. Tan asked this slave to come here!" The eunuch fell to the ground, "Mr. Tan has gone to Wenyuan Pavilion now."
Both the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince were speechless immediately. Mr. Tan was the Master of Zhan's Mansion, and he was also the Crown Prince's husband. The news he sent was basically a solid fact.
Zhao Mingxi's face instantly turned pale, and he only murmured: "How is this possible! Qingshan is not a rash person. If he discovers something is wrong, he will definitely not act recklessly. How come there is no news at all?"
The prince gave her a cold look, "Maybe it's because he is eager to express himself in front of your Zhao family?"
When the Crown Princess heard this, she felt something was wrong and subconsciously wanted to refute. In the end, she resisted her impulse and did not dare to say anything more. Instead, she said: "Your Highness, please don't be too anxious. Your Majesty just came out of seclusion today. Those people
I may not dare to speak out about this matter, it is not a trivial matter, it involves many things, I think there will still be a day or two to find out the situation."
These words comforted the prince to some extent. He looked at her for a while, took a deep breath and then said in a deep voice: "Let's go! There is no time to do anything now."
It was only half an hour before the Holy Master left seclusion. If he didn't go at this time, it would be in vain.
The couple were both dressed in uniforms suitable for their status. When they walked to the junction of the inner and outer courtyards, they saw Xie Baolin coming with a full belly.
She had a soft smile on her face, as if she didn't expect to meet the two of them here, and she hurriedly saluted.
"I have met His Highness and my empress."
The prince is still brooding over the affairs of the eldest princess's house. He doesn't look good every time he sees her. It's just because she is the adopted daughter of the Xie family that he doesn't get angry.
I encountered him today who was in a bad mood. How could he keep his temper as usual? He said coldly: "You are a pregnant woman. If you don't stay in the house well, who will you show yourself to when you wander around during the day?"
Jiang Shuhua expected that the Crown Prince and Crown Princess would go to the Holy Emperor today to request marriage for Xie Songhua and the fourth son of the Zhao family, so she came over to take a look.
The purpose is to remind them of his contribution. After all, the prince has long wanted to establish a relationship with the Xie family. This idea of his is an excellent help to him.
Therefore, I thought that if I came here today, I would be able to see a good look on the prince's face, which would be the first step towards improving the relationship between them.
She never expected that the prince's first reaction would be to scold her.
Moreover, the underlying meaning of his words was that she was deliberately showing off her pregnancy, which meant that he was still dissatisfied with her belly.
How can this be done?
Now that she is in the East Palace, she will be a member of the East Palace for the rest of her life, which means that everything she does in the future will be closely related to the prince.
Only when the prince ascends to the throne can she have a chance to stand out.
But there are three big mountains above, not to mention the Zhao sisters, but the one standing behind them is the Queen.
Even Ye Jinxi, another concubine, is not comparable to her.
Even if the prince still cares about the Xie family now, as time goes by, he will always see through her current position in the hearts of the Xie family.
Therefore, her only hope is not elsewhere, but in her belly.
If she can take this opportunity to win a man in one fell swoop, he will be His Highness the Crown Prince's first son. If the Crown Prince becomes a great treasure in the future, he will be the mother of the Crown Prince's eldest son.
Based on this status, the Xie family will probably look at her differently.
Only in this way can she reverse her status in the Xie family and at the same time affect her weight in the East Palace.
The prince's current attitude towards the child in her belly really surprised her.
If she bothered to think about the East Palace and contributed her own strength to them, but she couldn't win the favor of the prince, what would happen if she gave birth to a son later?!
A shadow fell over Jiang Shuhua's heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She quickly admitted her mistake and watched the couple leave Ciqing Palace.
After walking out for a while, I suddenly felt something was wrong again, "The Crown Princess told me a few days ago that Her Highness was very happy because of the suggestion I made. Why did she change her attitude today?"
She thought for a while and suddenly stopped, "Xizhu, go and find out if something happened?"
Xizhu hesitated, "Would you like to go to the Crown Princess's palace to inquire?"
Seeing her expression, Jiang Shuhua sneered and said, "What are you afraid of? They are all taking advantage of you. What you are asking about is not something particularly confidential. It's just a casual question."
After giving the instructions, he suddenly said: "No need to save money, you are generous, and they will be willing to associate with you. In the future, if you are a little farther away, they will still ask to come over!"
Chapter 350:
Xizhu thought of the way the maids flattered him when he followed his master to the Crown Princess's Palace to pay his respects, and a smile appeared on his face, "This slave obeys your master."
Here Xizhu was busy inquiring about what happened in the Crown Princess's palace, while the people waiting outside Qingxu Hall quietly asked the people in front of him to inquire about the news received today.
When the eunuch announced that King Chen had arrived, everyone subconsciously turned their attention to the door.
After all, where else could the news be better informed than that of Jin Yiwei?
The Jin Yiwei is in this master's hand.
The third prince walked over first, saluted with a smile on his face and said hello, "My nephew has met Uncle Wang. He looks good today. Could it be that there is some happy event?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince snorted coldly when he saw his flattering look. The Crown Princess gently tugged on his sleeves and said with a smile: "My father will be released from prison soon. Is this still a big deal?"
Isn't it a big happy event?
Uncle Wang has always been close to my father, so he is naturally even happier than the others."
These words flattered both Xiao Yu and Emperor Yufeng. The flattery left no trace, and he could really be regarded as a talkative mouth.
The third prince glanced at Zhou Yu, then turned to the Crown Princess with a smile, "Sister-in-law is right. The weather is nice today, and it seems that everyone is in a good mood!"
