Donggong Zhangjiao

Chapter 142 Not a Good Job

above the hall.

The eldest prince turned his head suspiciously and looked at Pei Yao standing beside him, his eyes were full of surprises.

Just now, when he proposed to go to the north to check the disaster situation, Emperor Chengjing asked Pei Yao's opinion again, but Pei Yao said it was appropriate and had nothing else to say.

So, Pei Yao won't make money with him this time?

The eldest prince was a little flustered, and then, like his grandfather opposite, Prime Minister Li cast his gaze away.

The latter was also somewhat surprised at this time, but he still gave the eldest prince a reassuring look, signaling him to follow the original plan.

After getting affirmation, the First Prince bowed his hands to Emperor Chengjing who was above him.

"Father, the drought in the north is related to the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people. I will be careful, check the disaster situation, and fully cooperate with the Ministry of Households to allocate food for disaster relief. The emperor's brother also supports my son, and I ask my father to agree! "

After he finished speaking, Prime Minister Li stood up and spoke.

"The eldest prince went north to check the disaster situation, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stayed behind in Beijing to help the emperor. It's very, very good to cooperate internally and externally, brothers to work together to help the disaster relief!"

After hearing this, Emperor Chengjing silently scanned the crowd and nodded immediately.

"What Li Xiang said is very true, then this time, the eldest prince will lead the people to go north to check the disaster situation."

"My son obeys the order!"

The First Prince cupped his hands, his voice resounding.

But after the early morning breakup and leaving the palace, the First Prince quickly walked towards Li Cheng to get along with each other. The two whispered something while walking, and finally got into the carriage and headed in the same direction.

It seems to be the direction of the Grand Prince's Mansion.

On Pei Yao's side, after leaving the palace, he also walked with his father-in-law, Prime Minister Lu.

Seeing the eldest prince and Li Xiang leaving in a hurry, Prime Minister Lu sneered coldly.

"I'm afraid old thief Li will be in a hurry this time. He has been thinking about it for a long time."

The corners of Pei Yao's lips curled up slightly, and a cold light shone in his eyes, "Since they like to stand out, let them go. There is a severe drought in the north, and the people are struggling to live. This is not the time for the southern tour."

"The eldest prince, with golden branches and jade leaves, I wonder if he can bear this hard work." Prime Minister Lu said in a low voice.

After saying this, Pei Yao raised his eyebrows with a half-smile.

"Since Prime Minister Li thinks that the eldest prince can do it, it is natural that the arrangements are well thought out. You don't need to worry about it alone, just wait and see."

Speaking of this, Prime Minister Lu didn't say any more, and then left with his hands up.

East Palace, study room.

After returning, Pei Yao came over directly.

Hong Zheng made a cup of hot tea and served it respectfully.

After taking two sips, Pei Yao ordered in a deep voice.

"Go and call someone over."

"Yes."

Hong Zheng retreated in response.

Not long after, five people came out of the secret door of the study.

Three men and two women, all dressed in different ages, have the same respect on their faces at this moment.

After bringing these people, Hong Zheng retreated silently and stood guard outside the study.

Fuxi leaned over with a smile, glanced into the study, and said again.

"Why isn't the master serving His Highness inside today? Let me see, there is someone inside?"

"Do you still want to think about your head?" Hong Zheng knocked his head with Buddha dust backhand, and said with a stare, "When doing things beside His Highness, talk less and think more. As long as His Highness doesn't give orders, you will be yourself." One is a mute."

Having been taught a lesson, Fu Xi hurriedly nodded and bowed in response, not daring to ask any more questions.

As for who these people were in the room, of course Hong Zheng knew.

Those are the eyeliners that Pei Yao placed everywhere.

The bodyguard of the bodyguard bureau, the fur merchant who went north, the waiter of the restaurant, the prostitute of the brothel, and the manager of the Jiaofang Division.

His Highness has a lot of eyeliner in the dark, which is not comparable to that of the First Prince.

If going north to check the disaster situation this time is really an easy job, can Pei Yao not go?
Withdrawing his thoughts, even if Hong Zheng was clear in his heart, he would not say a word, even to his own disciples.

But at this moment, someone was seen from afar.

After getting closer, he realized that it was Ying Xia who was beside He Liangdi.

"Slave, please greet Eunuch Hong!" Meeting someone, Ying Xia smiled and saluted, with a sweet and sensible mouth.

Hong Zheng never took Joe very much, so he naturally greeted him with a smile at this moment.

"Hey, girl, please get up quickly, why are you here all of a sudden, but Di Liang has an order?"

Even though the slaves were undervaluing and favoring the high, Hong Zheng could see clearly the division of people, He Liangdi had the backing of the military servant's father, so she couldn't fall easily, that is to say, it was a matter of time and time of favor.

So he is not guilty.

Ying Xia got up, and said politely, "Please trouble your eunuch to pass a message to Your Highness, our Concubine Liang has cooked some snacks by herself today, and I would like to invite Your Highness over for dinner."

"So that's the case, then the girl should go back and wait. Your Highness is dealing with government affairs right now, so it's inconvenient for me to go in and disturb you. I'll let you know later." Hong Zheng said kindly.

Hearing this, Ying Xia took out a purse from her waist and stuffed it into Hong Zheng's hand.

"Then I'm going to bother you, Eunuch. It's a good idea, please treat Eunuch to a cup of tea."

"Oh, miss, you're being polite. Now that your highness is going down to Jinxiufang, I'm worried that I won't be able to get a cup of tea."

Hong Zheng smiled and raised his hand to block it, but he didn't answer.

Because he didn't know whether Pei Yao would go or not, so the money was hot. He was not short of money, so why should he be greedy for such a small profit.

Seeing this, Yingxia was pretty smart, she didn't force her words, said a few nice words, and left.

After half an hour.

In the room, Pei Yao ordered tea, and Hong Zheng went in to serve it.

At this time, there was no one else in the room, only Pei Yao was sitting alone behind the desk.

Hong Zheng served the tea and told about the arrival of the summer just now.

After listening, Pei Yao raised his hand and pinched the center of his eyebrows.

In fact, he didn't want to go there. Now that he has a lot of things at hand, he is upset. He Liangdi has no brains, and even less so when he speaks. Being with her makes Pei Yao feel even more tired.

But thinking about the recent severe drought in the north, it is estimated that it is necessary to dispatch manpower from the Ministry of War to help the old man work, so you have to treat other people's daughters well, right?

Finally Pei Yao nodded.

So Jinxiufang got the news, and they were ready to prepare happily.

He Liangdi purposely changed into a bright and luxurious long dress with gold weaving and cut flowers, her head was decorated with pearls and jade jewelry, she was dressed like a flower peacock, when Pei Yao came, she greeted her with a smile.

"I will join Your Highness as a concubine!"

Seeing He Liangdi's gorgeous attire, Pei Yao frowned unobtrusively.

He said in his heart that Fang Yun was worried that the victims would have no food to survive the winter, so he couldn't eat, so he came here, but He Liangdi was dressed so extravagantly and extravagantly, maybe he didn't care about the drought outside.

Although it is said that women are not allowed to interfere in politics, it does not mean that you can completely ignore the outside world and only care about enjoying yourself and fighting for favor.

Thinking about going to the Crown Princess on the fifteenth day, the Crown Princess was concerned about the disaster.

Concubine Yang even proposed to help the victims.

After such a comparison, Pei Yao felt more and more that He Liangdi was too small-minded to take on a big responsibility.

But since he's here, there's no reason to just leave without showing his face, so Pei Yao patiently went into the room and sat down.

However, He Liangdi not only didn't notice that Pei Yao's complexion was not very good, but when he entered the room, he immediately introduced to a table of extravagant dishes that he carefully prepared.
