A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 126: Toasting, not eating, drinking and punishing

Jiang Taohua went all the way back to the East Palace, just stepped through the door to report to the prince, but bumped into the princess without thinking.

"Where did you come back from?" Mrs. Li glanced at her up and down, and said with a smile, "Did you tell the prince when you went out?"

Slightly taken aback, Tao Hua hastily saluted: "The servant girl is ordered by the crown prince to send King Nan out of the palace."

"That's it." Li Shi nodded: "Then you come with me."

Normally, the crown prince would never leave, and Mrs. Li didn't even have the chance to talk to Jiang Taohua.It's rare to catch her now, so Li Shi is naturally ready to enlighten her.

Sandalwood was lingering in the room, Mrs. Li sat down on the soft couch, held Taohua's hand very gently and said: "You have been in the Eastern Palace for a while, but what have you learned?"

Eyelids twitched, Tao Hua lowered her eyebrows and said pleasantly: "I have learned a lot of palace rules."

"Really?" Li looked at her with deep eyes: "Then do you understand what kind of person can stay with the prince forever?"

"Naturally someone like the princess."

Nodding in satisfaction, Mrs. Li let go of her, and picked up the teacup next to her: "Then do you know what kind of person is not suitable to stay by the prince's side?"

"..." Looking down at himself, Tao Hua instantly understood what the princess meant.It shouldn't be a day or two that she doesn't like her, but it's impossible for her to leave now.

"Slave is stupid." Tao Hua said with a smile: "Who should be kept and who should not be kept, His Highness should be the one to decide, right?"

His complexion changed suddenly, Li Shi put the teacup on the table, and said coldly: "Are you ignorant?"

"My servant doesn't understand what the Crown Princess means." Taohua knelt down and said, "If you want this servant to leave, you should report back to the Crown Prince and send this servant away."

If the way of the prince is feasible, why would she talk so much to a lowly maid?Li's face was gloomy, his cold eyes swept her up and down several times, and he said in a low voice, "You don't have to drink a toast."

The palace people behind him were about to move, and Jiang Taohua's heart tightened, but Mu Wuyin's voice suddenly sounded outside:
"Did Meng'er be brought here?"

The people at the door didn't dare to stop him, so Mu Wuyin stepped in directly. When he saw the scene inside, his face suddenly became uneasy: "What are you doing?"

Slightly taken aback, Li quickly got up and said: "I am chatting with Miss Meng'er."

"I've never seen one sitting and one kneeling while chatting." Frowning, Mu Wuyin pulled up the peach blossom when he came over, looked at Li Shi and said, "She is from this palace, don't move around, the rest Everything is up to you."

Mrs. Li froze, watching the prince take the woman away in a daze, and when she came to her senses, she asked the people around her with red eyes: "She belongs to him, so I don't?"

The maid next to her hurriedly advised: "Princess, don't be angry, she is just a maid."

"It's also guarding King Yu's funeral, so she's still a court lady." Li's eyes were full of resentment: "From the looks of it, the position of my Crown Princess will be hers from now on!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry." The palace maid whispered: "After all, the current Crown Princess is you. If you want her to live, let her live, and if you want her to die, let her die. What's the rush?"

Slightly taken aback, Li lowered her head and thought about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the truth.

Taohua followed the prince back to the main hall, feeling a little worried.It is no fun to offend the Crown Princess in the East Palace, and she must not lose her life before it is done.

"Your Highness." Looking at Mu Wuyin with pursed lips, Taohua said, "I have a merciless request from my servant."

"What's the matter?" Mu Wuyin said, "It's okay for you to say."

"Can Your Highness keep the servant with you all the time?" Tao Hua said, "Even if you rest at night, the servant is willing to keep watch for you."

The safest place in the entire East Palace is next to the crown prince. Since he is destined to offend the crown princess, he must stay as close to the crown prince as possible.

Hearing this, Mu Wuyin also knew what she was worried about, and vowed, "Okay, I will take you with me wherever I go."

Slightly relieved, Tao Hua nodded gratefully.

In the evening, Shen Zaiye reported to the imperial court the series of achievements made by the crown prince Jian Guoli. The emperor finally had a happy expression when he heard this: "He is quite capable."

"Isn't your majesty cultivating it well?" Concubine Lan Gui smiled and said: "You, hurry up and take care of your body, so as to save the princes from being restless every day. No, Nan Wang sent ginseng into the palace again. "

Emperor Mingde paused, frowned and said, "Is there no one in the palace? Do you want him to send it?"

"There seems to be no shortage of these in the palace." Concubine Lan Gui nodded, "Nanwang is also stupid, he has to go up the mountain to pick things that can be bought with money, and said that ginseng must have been grown for a hundred years."

The emperor frowned, thought for a while and said, "Bring it to me to have a look."

"Yes." Concubine Lan Gui nodded, with an expression of not understanding Sacred Heart, and asked the palace servants to bring up the ginseng.

A large wild ginseng with intact roots and some mud on it.Shen Zaye took a look, took a deep breath, and lowered his head.

"What is Aiqing surprised?" The emperor took the ginseng box with his lips curled up, and said, "It's not like the palace doesn't have such ginseng."

Shen Zaiye nodded: "Your Majesty's words are true, I'm just a little surprised, such a hundred-year-old ginseng usually grows on very dangerous cliffs, I didn't expect Nanwang to dig it himself, it's a bit... stupid .”

Emperor Mingde never liked to hear people praise King Nan, but this scolding made him feel unfair in his heart: "It can't be considered that he is stupid, he is still filial, at least it is better than the crown prince not sending anything."

"Although the crown prince didn't send anything, the emperor really doesn't lack anything. Just come to say hello." Concubine Lan Gui said, "But the king of Nan is a bit out of touch, and he wrapped it in a gift box. After all, he is a father and son, and he is also talking to outsiders." Like a gift."

The emperor frowned, looked carefully at the box in his hand, and really put a lot of thought into wrapping it carefully.Although he is his own father and son, he has always been estranged from Wuxia. In his heart, this child probably doesn't realize that he is his biological father, right?

Slightly embarrassed, the emperor suddenly said: "Go and get someone to pass the prince over."

Concubine Lan was stunned: "At this time? The prince is probably in evening class."

"Let him come here, I have something important to do." The emperor lowered his eyes and said, "You can also avoid one or two by the way."

The only thing Lu Zhilan could avoid was the affairs of other women in his harem.Shen Zaiyuan understood, and retreated with Concubine Lan Gui.

"The next step is to see if the peach blossoms are done enough." Walking outside, Lan Guifei said in a low voice: "If he really listens to the peach blossoms, then today's match will be considered a big victory for us."

"Why would your empress place all her hopes on a court lady?" Shen Zaye sneered: "The crown prince will definitely help Nan Wang, and I am sure. As for Jiang Taohua, you don't have to pay too much attention to her."

Frowning slightly, Lu Zhilan looked at him for a long while, and couldn't help but said: "Prime Minister Shen, have you noticed that when you encounter something related to the Jiang family, what you say is not as fair as before."

"Why did your mother say that?" Shen Zaiye smiled lowly: "A court lady is a court lady, so she doesn't have much effect at all. She can only make side effects to make the prince think that's all. If you really want the prince to do it, you have to come from a humble minister."

"I hope the Prime Minister can do it well." Looking at the sky, Concubine Lan Gui said: "You should leave the palace too. It's a good journey, so I won't see you off."

Shen Zaiye nodded, but he didn't move his feet. He looked into the distance for a while and said, "I don't want to go out of the palace tonight, so I'll wait outside for His Majesty, and serve His Majesty medicine all night."

Concubine Lan Gui was taken aback: "What are you doing? Where does the emperor need your medicine?"

Shen Zaiye didn't say anything more, watching Mu Wuyin walking over with Jiang Taohua all the way in the distance, his eyes moved slightly.

Mu Wuyin did what he said, he took her with him when he said he would take her, and it was the same when he came to Yuqian.But Jiang Taohua couldn't get in at the gate of the palace, so she could only stand outside and wait.

Concubine Lan Gui looked at her standing in the open, then at Shen Zaiye, frowned and said, "Could Prime Minister Shen really treat Jiang Shi..."

"Your Majesty is thinking too much." Shen Zaiye said expressionlessly, "I just want to wait for the result brought out by the prince."

Yeah?After looking at him suspiciously for a long time, Concubine Lan supported the palace man's hand and went back to Zhilan Palace first.

Jiang Taohua stood obediently outside waiting, and many palace people beside her were quietly looking at her, she was not uncomfortable, and would bend her knees to rest from time to time.

"Miss Menger."

After a while, several people from the East Palace came and said, "Prince Princess, please go over and talk."

Her body froze, Tao Hua smiled and said, "It's okay to go back together when the prince comes out."

Several palace people directly came up to surround her, and said softly: "The Crown Princess' order is immediately, please, Miss."

"..." With her hands pressed behind her back, Taohua had no room to struggle, and was forcibly taken to the East Palace by them.

After all the calculations, how could she forget this one!When the emperor sees the crown prince, she must be on the order. This is good, if it falls back into the hands of the crown prince, what will be waiting for her?
"Go quickly."

On the unmanned palace road, a few palace people were rude, and pushed her and said: "Don't dawdle, it's useless, the prince will take at least an hour to come back. If you don't want to suffer, just go honestly." .”

"It's not that I don't want to go." Taohua smiled: "The problem is, this is not the way back to the East Palace."

"..." Several palace people glanced at each other, and one of them muttered: "The eyes are quite sharp."

Taohua stood still and looked at them warily: "Where are you taking me?"

"Go where you are supposed to go." The leader of the palace said: "Don't blame people for not reminding you, this is the ending if you don't eat the toast and eat the fine wine. Let's go, you have no chance."

Pupils shrunk slightly, Taohua pressed against the wall and refused to move: "I think I can talk to the princess again."

"It's late." The palace man shook his head, took the rope and tied her tightly: "Do you know the name of this palace road?"
