Princess of the auxiliary country

He knew very well the meaning behind what Huo Jingzhi said.

Frightened and powerless, which translates to, Duke Ji's government cannot afford to offend others.

After all, he is the prince, right?
Especially when he mentioned what happened in the past period, he made it clear that he couldn't afford to be provoked.

Duke Ji's mansion has never provoked the prince. On the contrary, they are still kind to the prince and are still real relatives. What's the result?
The prince plotted against Huo Junyao, the princess of Zhaode County. Even if Duke Ji knew the truth, he could not say anything, let alone dare to say anything. He could only eat Coptis chinensis in silence.

Speaking of what happened this time, the prince's actions were also excessive, but with Emperor Zhaowu protecting him, what could Duke Ji's palace do?
Isn't it possible that I can only be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, but I still have to stand up in court to defend the prince?
In the final analysis, everything is because the other party is the prince, the heir apparent, and the future emperor. How can Duke Ji's government afford to offend him?
If it were him, he would be like Duke Ji.

The two soon separated, but what happened in the morning this morning became a topic of private discussion among officials.

Among them, the focus is on Huo Jingzhi standing up to defend the prince.

"If he doesn't do this, what else can he do?"

"He is a prince, can Duke Ji's government afford him?"

But within one morning, the distinguished ministers had reached a consensus that they could not afford to offend the prince.

Take a look at Ren Ji Guogong's Mansion. His status is too high, and the relationship is so hard. When bullied, he can only hold his tail between his legs, not daring to express the slightest dissatisfaction, and has to carefully protect it.

Thinking about Duke Ji's performance before the early court meeting, it is true that he has drawn a clear line, but isn't it a kind of mentality that he can't afford to offend and can't afford to hide?
For a time, many people felt a sense of sadness in their hearts, and this feeling was especially strong for those nobles.

Hero?Isn’t Duke Ji Guo a hero?He is still the prince's biological uncle.

If Duke Ji is like this, who do they think they are?
In Duke Ji's Mansion, Huo Jingzhi and his son had respectfully sent His Royal Highness out of the mansion who came to apologize.

"Dad, although we seem to have suffered a loss this time, the gains we have made are not small."

In the study, Huo Jinyan spoke with a smile on his face.

Hearing this, Huo Jingzhi also smiled and said, "It can only be said that there are small gains, but it will still take time to achieve the goal."

After all, the emperor and the empress had a deep love for each other. Although the prince had done some stupid things during this period, it was still unrealistic for the emperor to depose him.

Don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face. As long as Queen Shen lives another day, and as long as the prince doesn't do anything treacherous and unethical, the emperor will not easily sway Yi Chu's heart.

Of course, it would be great to make the ministers feel dissatisfied with the prince bit by bit.

In this way, the support the prince can get will be reduced, and the development of King Qi and King Chu will be stronger. However, these two people are holding back their efforts to get the prince down.

Moreover, they are also the sons of the emperor. There are many things that they can do better than those done by Duke Ji.

"Take your time, but shouldn't I talk to my little sister? So that she doesn't think too much."

"Well, you really need to talk about it carefully. Your little sister has suffered a lot of grievances during this period."

Huo Jingzhi nodded repeatedly, and the matter still had to be explained to his daughter.

After all, not long after their daughter was found, she had been encountering such things one after another, and they had not done much to seek justice for her. If they didn't explain it properly, they were afraid that she would get into trouble and become resentful towards them.

"In this case, you go to the villa in person tomorrow, explain the matter clearly to your mother first, and let her enlighten your little sister."

The next day, Huo Jinyan took leave early, asked his servants to prepare a lot of rice, flour, oil, meat, cloth and so on, and rushed to the hot spring villa.

At the hot spring villa, Huo Junyao was as usual. After getting up and washing up, she walked around in the greenhouse before returning to the room for breakfast.

She looked like she was fine, but Princess Ningyang felt a little uneasy.

I always feel that this daughter has many things hidden in her heart.

Several times I wanted to enlighten and ask, but Huo Junyao always smiled and said that she didn't think much about it.The more she behaves like this, the more unhappy Princess Ningyang feels, and the more dissatisfied she is with the prince. She is also dissatisfied with the emperor and Queen Shen.

She was dissatisfied, but if she could do something, there really wasn't much she could do.

At most, the emperor can only give the prince a beating. As for the rest, don't think about it for the time being.

Even if some things are done too much, it will cause big trouble for Duke Ji's government.

"Your Highness, Princess, the Crown Prince is here and he has brought many things."

Hearing this, both of them raised their heads. Princess Ningyang understood that there must be news from the capital.

"Get someone in."

Although Huo Junyao also thought about it, she didn't expect much from the news.

It's nothing more than a small punishment, far from achieving the goal of deposing the prince.

Sure enough, after Huo Jinyan came in and exchanged greetings, Princess Ningyang asked directly without any intention of avoiding Huo Junyao.

Seeing my mother like this, Huo Jinyan thought for a moment and then started talking directly.

As he finished speaking, Princess Ningyang turned to look at Huo Junyao and said apologetically, "Yaoyao, I have made you wronged again this time."

In fact, she had already guessed in her heart that the prince's punishment would be this at best.

"Mom, I'm fine, and I think our gains this time are already quite big."

"Some things can't be rushed."

As soon as she said this, Huo Jinyan's eyes narrowed, staring at Huo Junyao with a look of deep thought.

It seems that this little girl like me also has an unusual brain.

He was just about to ask when he heard Huo Junyao say, "Second brother, you're here just in time. I've developed a new food earlier. It's very delicious. You have to try it today."

"But it's a pity that dad doesn't have this blessing yet."

Upon hearing her words, Princess Ningyang immediately smiled and said, "Yes, yes, this food is indeed very delicious, especially in this winter. I hope you have to try it."

Princess Ningyang also noticed Huo Jinyan's state just now. Knowing that her daughter didn't want to say more, she changed the subject.

"Then I'll go get ready."

"Go."

After Huo Junyao left, Princess Ningyang looked at Huo Jinyan and said, "Don't ask anything, don't say much to the outside world, and don't worry about your little sister, she knows everything in her heart."

Hearing this, Huo Jinyan smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, mother, my son won't talk nonsense, but my little sister's behavior is unexpected."

"And her skills are not small. The ladies from other families in the capital are not as good as ours."

"Of course, your little sister is very capable, even my mother can't see through her."

"Oh?"

Huo Jinyan was a little surprised. This old lady in my family is very powerful, but she can't even see through her little sister?
