Chapter 36

"The emperor is wise." Zeng Xiaoxiao said sincerely, his tone full of admiration.

"All right, all of you go down." The emperor waved his hands, put down his teacup, and straightened his clothes.

Seeing this, Zeng Xiaoxiao slowly exited the imperial study.

On the way back, Zeng Kaizhi and Zeng Xiaoxiao shared the same sedan chair.

"Father, why did the emperor agree so easily?" Zeng Xiaoxiao wondered.

"It's not that he agreed, and he had planned it long ago." Zeng Kaizhi replied thoughtfully.

"Have plans?" Zeng Xiaoxiao was puzzled. Based on Zeng Xiaoxiao's understanding of ancient history, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business has always been popular.Until the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, the policy will not change.

"Well. If we don't change the policy, it will be difficult for us to maintain the balance between the countries." Zeng Kaizhi continued.

"At that time, the emperor will fear me even more." Zeng Kaizhi said helplessly.

Zeng Xiaoxiao looked at her father, and nodded with a vague understanding.

She put her head on Zeng Kaizhi's shoulder, and said coquettishly, "Father, don't worry~ My daughter is always with her father and mother."

"Haha, what are you worried about, dad, no one can hurt my wife and children." Zeng Kaizhi patted Zeng Xiaoxiao's head lovingly, and said softly.

Zeng Xiaoxiao came here through time travel, and she didn't understand many things in the court, and Zeng Kaizhi didn't talk to her too much, she swore secretly that no matter what happened in the future, her family was everything to her.

"Do you know how stupid you are!" In the imperial study room, there were only the emperor and Chu Jianguo, the air was frozen, and the tense atmosphere made it hard to breathe.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, I know I was wrong." Chu Jianguo quickly knelt down and begged for the Emperor's forgiveness.

"I close my eyes and listen, I don't understand the sacred meaning, I hope the emperor will punish me." Chu Jianguo continued to admit his mistake.

"Punishment? Ten years ago, this kind of behavior of yours was enough for me to kill you!" The emperor couldn't help but get angry when he thought of Chu Jianguo's dullness just now.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." At this time, there was no one around, Chu Jianguo saw this, and hurriedly knelt down and beat the emperor's leg.

"You are willing to leave me here to be scolded, which means you still love me." Chu Jianguo said with a smile.

The coquettish tone in his tone was extremely inconsistent with the image of this middle-aged man, and it made people feel a little nauseated.

"Come on, stop putting on airs in front of me." The emperor sneered, but his attitude was much better than before.

"Zeng Kaizhi can't move yet, are you too anxious?" The emperor looked at Chu Jianguo and motioned him to stand up.

"It's my minister who acted too hastily. I thought he was shaking the country, but you actually supported him." Chu Jianguo took a sneak look at the emperor's face and said tentatively.

"Where am I supporting him? If I use this to convict him now, it will definitely arouse public outrage." The emperor thought for a while and said.

"Furthermore, the owner behind the Huangcheng Roast Duck Restaurant is the princess of Yangshuo, and she is the one who came out to do business. Zeng Kaizhi didn't participate, or even show up. If I condemn the heroic King Zhongyi because of her daughter's violation of the national law, you What do the people of Yunqi Kingdom think of me? Saying that I took the opportunity to kill the heroes? Didn’t those people from Qiguo take advantage of the situation to start a war that day?” The emperor calmly analyzed, looked at Chu Jianguo again, and couldn’t help but want to fight again. In the past, but still held back.

Chu Jianguo shrank his neck in fright, and said with a wry smile: "I dare not, I will not dare next time!"

"Put away the little Jiujiu in your heart!" The emperor glared at Chu Jianguo and said angrily.

"Ah?" Chu Jianguo didn't react, and looked at the emperor suspiciously.

"Why are you pretending to be stupid? Get rid of Zeng Xiaoxiao and protect your daughter's status. Even a fool can see it." The emperor was a little thirsty when he said this, drank some tea, and continued: "I have planned for a long time, and I will meet you in two days." Promulgate the decree to let Jiaojiao and Cong'er get married, you can go back to your residence and wait for the good news in peace."

"Damn my humble servant, I don't know the emperor's good intentions, my humble servant is stupid!" Chu Jianguo was originally depressed, but when he heard the emperor's words, he was overjoyed and a little incoherent with excitement.

"There is a saying that the higher you stand, the harder you fall, have you heard that?" The emperor's sudden beating made Chu Jianguo a little confused.

The smile froze on Chu Jianguo's face, and he thought in his heart: "Is the emperor going to scold me again?" Thinking of this, Chu Jianguo curled his lips.

"This sentence is not only for you, but also for Zeng Kaizhi." The emperor said after a pause.

"You will soon be a serious relative of the emperor, so be more cautious. Zeng Kaizhi has been popular in the past few years, and it won't take long to fall." The emperor glanced at the tea leaves floating in the teacup, and the corner of his mouth curled up. A chilling smile.

On the other side, in Fengluan Palace.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is so kind to you, and he gave you the best mountain ginseng." The maid at the side said softly while beating the Queen's back gently.

"That's right, His Majesty is such a loving person, to everyone." The queen smiled helplessly.

In her heart, the emperor's heart can accommodate many people, he is passionate but not dedicated, and he is even exposed to rain and dew.Although the emperor took better care of her than other concubines, she was still dissatisfied.

Now that I have no children, the rest of my life will be precarious, and who will know what will happen to me after the emperor has been crowned for a hundred years?

"If the Chu family is married to the eldest prince, the Chu family will not be able to rely on them for long." The queen sighed inwardly, her face was still graceful and poised, calm and composed.

Mu Chuqian, who was already in the mansion, was sitting in the study.

Holding a brush in his hand, he sat upright in front of the window, his white teeth were a little dazzling in the sunlight because of his smirk.

Recalling the little things that happened in the past few days, and thinking of the sweet interaction between Xiaoxiao and himself, the corner of his mouth was raised, and he actually sneered.

"Xiaoxiao seems to be different from before, but she is more independent and assertive, and sometimes a little naughty. Maybe the sandstorm at the border has changed her a lot." Mu Chuqian thought to himself.

"Now you are full of ideas in your heart, and you dare to think and act. If you don't grasp it well, you will be cheated by your elder brother." Mu Chuqian grasped the brush tightly and made up his mind to chase Zeng Xiaoxiao. All his life belongs to him alone.

Mu Chuqian was engrossed in his thoughts, when suddenly there was a stingy sound.

"Come in." Mu Chuqian was a little annoyed, not knowing who was disturbing him at this time.

"Second prince, this old slave will bring you the clothes for tomorrow's change." A well-faced, energetic, kind-hearted nun walked in, her voice was full of chatter, but she didn't talk much.

"Nurse, so it's you." Seeing that it was his own nanny who came in, Mu Chuqian quickly put down the brush in his hand and came over to pick up the clothes.

"Second prince, let the old slave come here, your hands are covered with ink, don't get your clothes dirty." Mammy joked, and turned around to put Mu Chuqian's clothes into the closet.

Mu Chuqian pulled Mammy to sit down, and said softly, "Mammy, you are my nanny, it's good to let the servants do these things, you don't have to do it yourself, son returns to Beijing, you should enjoy the blessing .”

 Why is Mu Chuqian so nice to the nanny?According to legend, he was only so gentle to Zeng Xiaoxiao, you can guess.
