Donggong Zhangjiao

Yuzhang Palace.

After the three came back, the fourth prince was tired of playing.

He lay on the soft couch and couldn't get up. He grabbed the fur and held it in his arms, rolling together with one person and one fox.

Pei Yao and Fang Yun ignored him. They changed their clothes and just sat outside to drink tea.

Fang Yun doesn't intend to mention what happened just now.

There is no point in making a fuss about Linchan now.

After all, Pei Yao hasn't even touched anyone yet, and it can be seen that Pei Yao has no thoughts about this extremely beautiful princess.

"Does the emperor want to stay for dinner?" Fang Yue asked, taking a sip of tea.

Pei Yao didn't raise his eyes, "I'm already here, there's no reason to leave."

After saying this, he said again.

"I see that Ji'er likes riding and shooting. He was born weak in the womb, so martial arts is a good thing. Why not choose a master to teach him."

"Now?" Fang Yun was surprised and glanced at the soft glutinous rice dumplings behind him, "It's too early now, he's only over two years old."

When she said this, Pei Yao smiled.

"Of course it's not now. It's not good for the child's health to learn martial arts too early. What I mean is to choose a master for him. Furthermore, when he turns three years old next year, it's time to study for enlightenment. This master also needs to be chosen early. , it’s better to choose both civil and military, look at multiple aspects, and you can choose a better one.”

Hearing this, Fang Yun raised the corners of his lips and said, "It doesn't matter, just listen to the emperor."

Looking at the gentle smile of the woman in front of him, Pei Yao just felt that such an ordinary life was quite good.

But suddenly he remembered something again and mentioned it.

"Have you made any arrangements with his family for Liu Qin's marriage?"

When he asked about this, Fang Yun was a little surprised, but he still told the truth.

"My concubine is looking at me. What he means is to find someone who is virtuous, gentle, and respectful to his elders. Someone with good family background and good looks is the second best thing. Originally, his official position is not high."

"He is also humble. I think he is very good."

Pei Yao said this.

Fang Yun's mind moved slightly, and he immediately asked with a smile, "Is it not that the emperor has already finished worrying about my concubine? Your Majesty, don't hide it, tell me quickly and listen to my concubine."

"You will listen. I do have a candidate, but it must be good to you, my siblings." Pei Yao said gently, "I am the legitimate daughter of Qu Hong, the Minister of Imperial Academy."

The official position of Hanlin Minister is the fourth rank in the Daqi court. Although the official position is not high, it is different in the Hanlin Academy.

For Da Qi's political system, the Hanlin Academy was a talent reserve for the imperial court. Most of the talents with top-notch imperial examination scores first entered the Hanlin Academy to gain experience, and then went elsewhere. Those who stayed in the Hanlin Academy If approved, he is most likely to enter the cabinet.

The responsibilities of the position of Hanlin Minister are to supervise the compilation of national history and classics, and draft the emperor's edicts and edicts.

In addition, they also assisted the emperor in handling political affairs.

So he has a low official position, but he is actually at the center of political power.

However, Fang Yun didn't know much about this Qu Hong.

So he said, "The emperor's choice is certainly not wrong, but I don't know how old this girl is and what her temperament is."

"This daughter of the Qu family is seventeen this year. She was originally engaged to be engaged, but the young master she was engaged to later became seriously ill and passed away. It was also delayed due to the national mourning. Her temperament and appearance were not bad, but this I had arranged a marriage before, and I was afraid that you would mind, so I had to ask you what you meant first."

Pei Yao told the story of the girl Qu truthfully.

"It doesn't matter. The young master passed away due to illness, and it was not the fault of the Qu family girl. I don't mind. I guess Liu Qin is not that superficial person."

After hearing these words, Fang Yun replied seriously, but after a pause, he continued.

"It's just that he still has his parents, and this marriage must be approved by his parents. If the emperor intends to discuss this marriage, I will send someone to talk to the Liu family later, okay?" Although Liu Qin She had to make the final decision on her marriage, but she had to give Liu Qin's parents enough respect.

Pei Yao naturally had no objection, "That's fine, then I'll wait for your letter."

When the two talked to this point, Yuanhe at the door stretched his head in, as if something was wrong.

Fang Yun didn't seem to notice his movements and only talked to the fourth prince who came over, but Pei Yao had Yuan He's idea.

But I didn’t take it to heart the first time.

But when Yuan He looked in hesitantly for the second time, Pei Yao was confused and made a sound.

"Come in and say something."

Yuan He pursed his lips, walked in with his head lowered, and took a look at Fang Yun first.
At this moment, Fang Yun also looked at him, frowned and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating?"

"Go back to your Majesty. As for your Majesty, your Majesty sent someone to look for Mr. Cousin earlier, and he has been found." Yuan He lowered his head and said.

Pei Yao was confused, "What cousin?"

However, Fang Yun knew that Qingrong would take the fourth prince away at this moment, and his expression turned cold.

"Does Your Majesty still remember that when I was in the East Palace, my aunt came to take care of my concubine for a period of time?"

"Of course I remember." Pei Yao frowned, "That person has evil intentions and is not worthy of being an elder."

Fang Yun narrowed his eyes, "Concubine Chen did make her sad back then, but she was the only living relative of Chen Concubine, so when she died that year, Concubine Chen still went to see her for the last time. Who knew it would be this side? , I actually let my concubine know that the so-called concubine Yang’s maid who instigated my aunt to frame me for using witchcraft to murder the third prince was actually instigated by Concubine Yang.”

Having said this, Pei Yao's brows furrowed even more tightly, but there was no surprise on his face.

It can be seen that Pei Yao also knew clearly when he mentioned what happened back then, so he probably had an inside story.

So Fang Yun observed his expression before continuing.

"At that time, although I knew about this matter, my aunt was lying, so I never told anyone about it. I only secretly ordered people to search for my cousin's whereabouts. I didn't expect that there is no news until now."

"What happened back then was indeed strange."

Pei Yao lowered his eyes and responded in a low voice.

This sentence also gave Fang Yun reassurance, indicating that Pei Yao did not intend to protect Concubine Yang.

After all, the Yang family was standing there, and the Marquis of Nanning was enough to support Concubine Yang.

What Fang Yun didn't know was that Concubine Yang's continuous troubles over the past six months and Yang Chengyu's wolfish ambition had made Pei Yao already have thoughts of suppressing Concubine Yang and the Marquis of Nanning.

Now that Fang Yun took action, he happened to pass the knife to Pei Yao, which was exactly what he wanted.

"Your Majesty, why don't you meet my concubine's cousin first and then make a final decision?" Fang Yun suggested.

Pei Yao nodded, "Order someone to escort you over, and I'll ask myself."

Yuanhe left in response.

Not long after, a thin man was escorted into the palace.

There was no need to verify her identity. Fang Yun's cousin Chen Xun actually had a similar facial features to hers, which could be seen at a glance.

And Chen Xun had been controlled and detained by Fang Yun for many years. It was so hard that he didn't dare to lose his temper and couldn't cooperate well.

In two words, everything that Nanning Houfu did back then was exposed.

Pei Yao immediately became angry after hearing this.

Immediately afterwards, the news of Concubine Yang's demotion to concubine spread throughout the harem. (End of chapter)
