Donggong Zhangjiao

Chapter 81

"Your Highness, you have been so busy that you have forgotten all your food and sleep. You don't even go home. I can't see you these few days. I'm very anxious. Although you are concerned about government affairs, your body is also important!"

Fang Pei wore a long peony red dress, which was exquisite and gorgeous.

Right now, she is instructing the servant girl to put the food she brought on the table of the First Prince.

"Your Highness, try this. This is the soup I made myself. Please taste it."

After speaking, he handed a bowl to the First Prince.

It was also such an action of handing soup, her wrist properly exposed a small portion of her reddened skin, which was very eye-catching.

The eldest prince noticed it immediately, put down the soup bowl with a frown, and took her hand.

"How did this happen?"

"Ah, this, it doesn't matter, Your Highness, drink the soup quickly, it's cold, it doesn't taste good when it's cold."

Fang Pei dodged on purpose.

At this time, her maid, Lanzhi, acted as an interpreter behind the scenes.

"The side concubine got up before dawn in order to make soup for His Highness, and she insisted on doing it herself, so she accidentally got burned, because she was in a hurry to deliver meals to His Highness, and the medicine hasn't been applied yet!"

"Speak up!" Fang Pei immediately turned around and scolded her.

However, the eldest prince showed a bit of softness on his face.

"You, too, leave this kind of rough work to the servants. I know your intentions. If you burn you, I will feel even more distressed."

As he said this, Fang Pei showed a moved and shy expression on his face, and lowered his head slightly.

The two of them were playing in the room, but Pei Yao had already stood outside the door for a while, and had seen Fang Pei's method of acting clearly.

Now he couldn't stand it any longer, so he knocked on the door that was already open.

Hearing the sound, the eldest prince hurriedly let go of Fang Pei's hand, straightened his clothes, and sat up straight.

"Who is it? Come in."

"It's lonely."

Pei Yao responded and walked into the first prince's study.

Seeing that it was Pei Yao, the eldest prince got up and saluted.

"Brother Huang, I don't know why Brother Huang is here?"

"I've read the brochure about the army's money and rations that was handed over by the household department yesterday, and I want to discuss something with you."

Pei Yao said lightly.

In fact, these matters can be handled by him alone, but Emperor Cheng Jing wanted to pull his own son to the top, so he sent the eldest prince here under the pretext of helping him.

Hearing this, the eldest prince looked at Fang Pei beside him, and said in a low voice.

"I still have something to do, you go back first, and I will see you when I am free."

"Then your highness must remember to rest, I will wait for your highness to come back."

Fang Pei was very displeased that Pei Yao's appearance ruined her good deed, but she couldn't say anything, so she had to show her tenderness to the eldest prince one last time.

But at this moment, the eldest prince felt a little ashamed of her, so he nodded perfunctorily, and quickly ordered someone to send her out.

Pei Yao didn't say anything, and after Fang Pei left, he went into the room to discuss matters with the First Prince.

It is said to discuss matters, but how could Pei Yao let the eldest prince easily divide the real power from him.

So coming to discuss with the eldest prince is just to save face. He has already made a decision on important matters and has already arranged them. The rest of the discussions are either not very important or difficult to do. Pull out a person to be the villain's decision-maker.

Although the eldest prince is not as good as Pei Yao in this aspect, he is not a fool, and he still noticed a lot of holes that Pei Yao dug for him.

But he couldn't say anything, let alone retreat.

After all, it was hard to squeeze in, so he retreated in spite of the difficulties, and it will be even more difficult to decentralize power from Pei Yao in the future.

For example, the matter chosen by the examiner Qiuwei was finally decided according to Pei Yao's suggestion, so he didn't get any benefits.

It was a tie between the two.

Of course, this is only about Qiu Wei. If you add the matter of the southern tour together, it will be a great advantage for Pei Yao.

Therefore, after discussing the matter and sending Pei Yao away, the First Prince's expression darkened, and he called his servant in.

"When you enter the palace, say that you are paying respects to the queen mother for me, and tell the queen mother about the situation here in private, and ask her to think of a way."

"Yes, the slave obeys."

The waiter sounded, and silently retreated.

Not long after, Hong Zheng reported the movement of the eldest prince to Pei Yao.

Pei Yao just let out a mocking chuckle.

"Just look at it, if Pei Zecheng is really allowed to sit on the dragon chair, we will have an extra queen dowager listening to politics behind the curtain in Daqi in the future."

"The Empress Dowager Xiaozheng Yiduan is no match for her."

Hong Zheng lowered his head, with disgust in his tone.

The empress dowager he was talking about was the first empress dowager in the founding of Daqi. She supported the young master and cared about the world. In the end, she cultivated a wise monarch, and retired after success, hiding in the mountains.

Compared with her old man, Queen Li is indeed not qualified.

"Let someone keep an eye on it, Gu wants to see what kind of trouble this mother and son can make." Pei Yao waved his hand.

Hong Zheng responded and was about to leave.

He was called again.

"Let's go back to the East Palace at night, Gu also hasn't gone back for half a month."

"Yes, the servant will arrange it."

Hong Zheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately cupped his hands.

After he went out, Pei Yao sat down, raised his hand and rubbed between his eyebrows.

Suddenly wanted to go back to the palace, firstly because it was true that he hadn't gone back for a long time, the conditions in this yamen were not as good as in the East Palace, and it wasn't comfortable enough to live in, now he was almost busy with things, so he went back to have a rest.

Secondly, I saw Fang Pei come to deliver something to the First Prince today, Pei Yao found out belatedly, since he came out so old and didn't go back, it seemed that no one had come to deliver something to him.

He knows a little about the character of the princess, she is dignified and prudent, she knows the general situation, and she never sticks to the love of her children, so she won't do the things that these little daughters do.

But what about Fang Yun?

At this moment, Pei Yao was curious as to what Fang Yun was up to during this time, whether she hadn't seen her for a month, and what new skills she had learned.

Most importantly, Pei Yao wondered what Fang Yun would be like after not seeing him for a long time.

So after returning to the Eastern Palace at night, he changed his clothes and went straight to Bi Luo Zhai.

Originally, Concubine Yang knew that Pei Yao was back tonight, and was going to send someone to invite Pei Yao to Weiyang Pavilion to spend the night, but the person who went out turned back halfway, saying that His Highness had gone to Biluozhai.

Hearing this, Concubine Yang frowned in displeasure, but in the end she didn't say anything, and waved her hand to let the servant girl back down.

On the other hand, Fang Yun was very surprised by Pei Yao's arrival.

She never thought that Pei Yao would come to her as soon as he did not return to the palace for many days, so she was not prepared.

So I went out to pick him up in a light yellow plain uniform.

"Concubine sees Your Highness."

"Get up." Pei Yao waved his hand and looked into the room again, "Look at the lonely one, it's still time, your dinner hasn't been served yet."

He made a joke, and Fang Yun said coquettishly on purpose.

"Your Highness didn't come, so I don't have the heart to eat. Now I'm looking forward to someone. I can eat half a bowl more tonight."

Her delicate appearance is very well-measured. Although she can tell that she is acting at a glance, she is really cute and not offensive.

Looking at it, Pei Yao felt a little better.

Well, the Fang family here is more than ten times better than that of Pei Zecheng's.
