A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 123 I like it too

Shen Zaiye said displeasedly: "I'm asking you."

Looking at him curiously, Gu Huairou whispered, "Ms. Jiang is a very nice person, and it's normal for me to miss her. Although a lot of things happened during the days when she was in charge, the person who doesn't cause trouble in the house is It's much better, no one withholds monthly money, and no one dares to bully you wantonly. I have heard many servants praise..."

"Enough." Shen Zaiye frowned, glanced at her and said, "Why do you say so many good things about her?"

"This concubine is talking good things, but it's just the truth." Gu Huairou looked at him strangely and said, "Besides, Lady Jiang didn't make any mistakes, so is it necessary for my concubine to say good things?"

Shen Zaiye lowered his eyes, only then remembered that in the eyes of the people in the backyard, Jiang Taohua just went to the mountain to recuperate and never came back.

"...You can rest yourself." Standing up, he walked out with a blank expression: "Don't mention her in front of me from now on."

Gu Huairou was stunned, holding the handkerchief to salute, not knowing what happened.This is so good, why did Mrs. Jiang fall out of favor again?
Shen Zaiye went back to Linwu Academy, calmed down and continued to read the official documents.He still has a lot of things to do, it is impossible to be distracted by Jiang Taohua too much, she is just a woman, use it if she can, let's talk about it when she can't.

"Master." Zhanlu pushed the door open and came in: "Can you use some of the snacks just made in the kitchen? After you're done, drink the medicine."

Looking up at the snacks on the tray, Shen Zaye frowned slightly: "What is this?"

"..." Looking down at the peach blossom cakes on the tray carefully, Zhanlu bit the bullet and said, "Ordinary flower cakes."

He didn't pay attention when he brought it!The kitchen makes snacks according to Mr. Xiang's taste. Usually, whatever he likes to eat, the kitchen does. Who knew that all these fine people could cook this?
With a cold snort, Shen Zaiye looked at Zhanlu seriously and said, "I'll just say it once, you start immediately and throw out all the things related to the Jiang family in this mansion, and if someone mentions her in front of me, or Bring something related to her, I'm asking you!"

"Yes!" Breaking into a cold sweat, Zhan Lu quickly responded, and immediately found someone to lock the Zhengchun Pavilion, banned recipes related to Jiang's, and worked hard inside and out for a long time.

There was silence in Shen Zaiye's heart, and when he went out again, he saw that the Xiangfu was even more empty.

That's right, he felt that a cancer like Jiang Taohua should be dug up, lest it spread and cause even greater disasters.Zhanlu did a great job and should be rewarded!
However, when he got ready for bed at night, the thought completely disappeared.

"Where's the pillow?" Looking at the brand new embroidered pillow on the bed, Shen Zaiye looked at Zhanlu coldly: "Where did it go?"

Zhanlu's legs were weak, and he said tremblingly: "Didn't you tell me to throw out everything related to that person? The pillow is naturally..."

Of course it's also related, Mrs. Jiang embroidered it herself, and it kept him awake, don't you remember?

Stretching out his hand and pulling the person in front of him, Shen Zaiye whispered, "I told you to throw other things, but I didn't ask you to throw that pillow. Get it back for me."

Zhanlu was dumbfounded, thinking that he was really wronged, the master said everything from the beginning, but he didn't exclude the pillow!
However, no matter how unreasonable the trouble was, he had to listen to the master's orders. He could only run out quickly to find someone under Shen Zaiye's cold gaze.

"My lord, you let me throw that pillow away, so we didn't dare to keep it!" The man below said with an innocent face: "It was given to a passing beggar outside the mansion, where can I get it back now?"

Gave it to a beggar? !Zhanlu was about to scold them, but felt a sudden chill behind his back.

Wearing a black robe, Shen Zaiye said lightly behind him: "Follow me to look for it, if you can't find it, don't sleep tonight."

"……Yes."

Man, it's just that weird sometimes.Obviously it's a decision I made, but I always regret it.It's okay for ordinary people to regret it, and just bear it by themselves.But when people like Shen Zaiye regret it, everyone around them will inevitably suffer.

It was getting late, and there were no people on the street. Shen Zaiye was riding a horse, looking around from street to street.Zhanlu followed, really wanting to say that he didn't have to come out in person, but considering that his master couldn't sleep anyway, he just let him go.

After walking two streets, I saw a little beggar holding the medicine pillow carefully, planning to put it on the side of the road to sleep.With quick eyes and quick hands, Shen Zaiye flew over and snatched the pillow back.

"What are you doing!" the little beggar was in a hurry, and grabbed his clothes: "That's my pillow, give it back to me!"

Zhanlu hurried up to try to tear him away, but the little beggar was very stubborn, holding on to Shen Zaiye's leg and refusing to let go, even biting with his mouth: "Give it back to me!"

"This is mine." Shen Zaye frowned.

"You...you don't want it anymore, it's already given to me, it's mine!" The little beggar Buyi: "You grab everything from a beggar!"

His head hurt a little, Shen Zaiye reached out and took the broken silver to him: "Here's this for you, okay? Return the pillow to me."

"I don't!" the little beggar said stubbornly, "I just like that pillow, since you lost it, why are you grabbing it?"

Zhanlu was so frightened that he was sweating all over. Looking at his master's eyes, he was afraid that he would cut off the little beggar with his sword, and hurriedly took the beggar away.

Unexpectedly, after being silent for a while, Shen Zaiye actually said: "I also like this pillow very much. Someone else lost it, not me."

The little beggar was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at him blankly, and asked with a look of embarrassment: "You like it very much?"

"Yes."

"Then..." Pursing his lips, he finally let go of his hand: "Then I'll give it back to you."

Looking at the dirty little guy under his feet, Shen Zaiye softened his expression, and said in a low voice: "Zhan Lu, take him back to the prime minister's residence."

"Master?" Zhan Lu was surprised: "Bring this beggar?"

"Didn't General Pang say recently that he lacks apprentices? Send him one."

Dumbfounded, Zhanlu watched his master get on the horse with the pillow in his arms, quickly picked up the beggar, threw him on the horse and took him back.

Finding a pillow and picking up more people, I am afraid that only my master can do this.The soldiers under General Pang were all carefully selected. If such a beggar was sent there, I don't know if he would be angry.

The pillow was found, and after Shen Zaye changed his clothes and lay down on it, he unexpectedly had a good night's sleep.He hadn't slept well for so long that Zhanlu couldn't bear to wake him up. When he opened his eyes, it was already the morning of the third day outside.

"How long have I slept?" Shen Zaiye asked after stretching his muscles and bones.

Zhanlu replied in a low voice, "One day and two nights."

"Well, no wonder you're so energetic." Without blaming him, Shen Zaiye was in a good mood, took a stack of official documents and flipped through them, raised his eyebrows slightly: "The emperor asked Hengwang to inspect the other palace built outside the city?"

"Yes." Zhan Lu said: "While you were on vacation, the emperor suddenly issued an order. The prince only found out yesterday, and he was a little angry."

Can you not be angry?King Yu finally died, who knows there will be a King Heng behind him?Shen Zaiye smiled lightly, closed the document, and said calmly: "Isn't there a lot of vacancy in the position of lady in the mansion? Let's mention Gu Qingying and Nangongqin as ladies."

"The slave understands."

Hengwang Mu Wuhen has always been low-key and calm, and Emperor Mingde was provoked by Mu Wuyin's killing of King Yu, so he inevitably thought of multiple choices.Speaking of which, he now looks at Mu Wuhen more pleasingly than Mu Wuyin.

East Palace.

Mu Wuji had already discussed with the advisers, and he was lying on the soft couch with a headache and meditating.Taohua came over and asked softly, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

"I suddenly feel that it is not a good thing to have more children." Mu Wuyin said indifferently: "Without one, there will be another. This East Palace position is surrounded by people who are all staring at it, which is really uncomfortable."

"The Holy Majesty has many heirs, and it is reasonable to have people who want to fight for power." Kneeling on the side of the soft couch, Taohua said with a smile: "I don't understand anything, but I often hear scholars say that it is best to get rid of the enemy." The best way is to turn an enemy into a friend."

Slightly taken aback, Mu Wuyin opened his eyes and looked at her: "This is interesting, what do you say?"

"I can't remember clearly." Tao Hua thought about it carefully and said: "But it should be said that instead of worrying about a certain person becoming an enemy in the future, it is better to turn him into a friend first. will be hostile."

become friends?Mu Wuyin sighed: "Among the princes, who can really be friends?"

"Didn't you still praise King Nan before?" Tao Hua asked curiously, "Is he not reliable?"

Nan Wang?Mu Wuyin was silent for a while, thought carefully, and then said in a low voice: "Because Nan Wang went to Wu State to be a hostage earlier, so my father didn't like him very much. But that child is upright, reliable is reliable, but Making friends with him doesn't seem to be good for me."

Taohua smiled, and reached out to light the incense beside her: "I don't understand the minds of you big men, but if I were a slave, I would like to help King Nan in advance so that he will support me in the future. After all, it sounds like he is also It is really not a suitable candidate for the crown prince, and there is no threat to your position in the Eastern Palace. Instead of giving it to others, it is better to keep it for yourself."

A word awakened the dreamer, Mu Wuyin stood up and patted his leg lightly: "That's right, such a simple truth, why didn't I understand it?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Taohua in surprise and said: "Although you don't understand anything, this time you have awakened me, and I will send you a reward later!"

Tao Hua had an innocent face, and after watching him go out, she stretched out her hand to cover her face.

After fighting with people like Shen Zaiye for a long time, I realized that others are as easy to deceive as fools?It's embarrassing to call her!

Nanwang himself was not at fault at all, but no one around the emperor said anything good to him, so the emperor always had a grudge.In the current situation, it is impossible for Shen Zaiye to blatantly help the King of Nan. The best way is to let the crown prince help him first.
