After rebirth, His Highness Xinshu was pampered by me.

Chapter 21 The Prince's Battle
The eldest prince and the fifth prince felt a little frustrated by this.

But the good thing is that although the emperor didn't want to pay attention to their intentions, he didn't directly ask them to leave.

The emperor probably felt that since they were interested in court affairs, they should be asked to watch and learn slowly here.

However, until the emperor and the ministers of the Ministry of War had finished discussing the matter, neither the eldest prince nor the fifth prince could say a word.

After the discussion was over and the people from the Ministry of War were dismissed, the emperor looked at the eldest prince and the fifth prince.

Asked: "You two came here at this time, what do you want to say?".

The eldest prince was calm. He stood up and held his hands in his hands and said, "Father, my son and I are just here to take a look. I am thinking that if something happens at the border, I wonder if I can take the lead for my father and do something for the border."

But looking at it now, the situation at the border is not what he expected, so it seems that it is not his turn to take the credit.

The eldest prince thought in his mind and rolled his eyes.

Fortunately, even though he knew it would be hopeless, the eldest prince was not discouraged. Anyway, there were always other places where he could get credit.

The emperor nodded after listening to the eldest prince's words, and then turned his gaze to the fifth prince: "What about you, what are you here for?".

The fifth prince raised his hands with a serious look on his face and said, "My son is not talented, but he still wants to be like his eldest brother and share his father's worries!".

It seems that he was quite sincere when he said this, but what he thinks in his heart is a matter of opinion.

The emperor then waved his hand: "Well, you brothers are all interested, but you have just come to court now, so you should follow and learn more!".

The eldest prince just handed him over.

The fifth prince felt a little unwilling, but he could only follow suit.

The fifth prince understood in his heart that the emperor's words meant that although he and the eldest prince were now going to court, there was no need to think about any errands for the time being.

How could the fifth prince be willing to go to court but not be able to do any errands?
He secretly glanced at the eldest prince opposite, and could only warn himself in his heart not to be anxious. He couldn't be too anxious just yet...

At least the eldest prince didn’t get any work!

The emperor glanced at the eldest prince and the fifth prince indifferently, and said: "It seems that you brothers have been in court for a while, have your studies been neglected? Maybe I haven't tested your studies for a long time, so I will test you today. Fan."

The eldest prince suddenly groaned in his heart, and his face tightened a little, but he still had to bite the bullet and respond.

The fifth prince looked quite at ease, obviously well prepared for the unexpected test.

Sure enough, after the emperor's test, he found that compared to the mediocre performance of the older princes, the fifth prince performed exceptionally well.

The emperor preached to the two of them for a few more words, and then waved their hands to ask them to leave.

As soon as the eldest prince and the fifth prince left, the emperor sighed and said to Eunuch Yang: "You said that these two children are not much different in age, but their temperaments are not the same at all.".

Eunuch Yang smiled and said, "This person is born with his own personality. Your Majesty does not need to worry about this."

The emperor glanced at him and said nothing more. Instead, he asked: "What happened in the imperial study just now?"

Eunuch Yang understood what the emperor was asking as soon as he heard it, and hurriedly repeated to the emperor what the eldest prince and the fifth prince said when Jinse came to deliver tea for the first time.

The emperor frowned.

After a long while, the emperor said: "They are indeed big. They don't know anything else. They all keep a close eye on what happens here."

Eunuch Yang glanced at the emperor. Although the emperor's face had no extraneous expression at the moment and looked the same as usual, he knew that the emperor was probably a little dissatisfied.

But it is.

No one likes others peeking at them all the time, especially if this person is an emperor, and they don't like it even more.

Jinse followed Chaqing and Chalan back to the imperial study room for a long time before she suddenly realized that the emperor was also in the imperial study room just now... But she was only paying attention to the fifth prince and the eldest prince, and did not even notice the emperor.

Speaking of which, her current status was given by the emperor.

Seeing that Jinse was a little distracted, Chalan thought she was scared.

He comforted: "Sister Jinse, don't worry too much. We will do our jobs honestly. As long as we don't make any mistakes, nothing will happen."

Jinse came back to his senses and glanced at her, then smiled and nodded: "I understand, thank you Sister Chalan for reminding me!".

Cha Lan waved his hand, said you're welcome, and then continued his work.

Being on duty in the imperial tea room is actually quite relaxing.

Just after coming back, Chaqing had already boiled water, brewed tea, and greeted Chalan and Jinse to continue drinking tea.

While drinking tea, Chalan and Chaqing talked to Jinse about what they needed to do every day.

Jinse listened carefully.

Occasionally, I will ask if I hear something I don’t understand.

Chalan and Chaqing will give Jinse answers carefully.

The atmosphere in the imperial tea room was good, but it made all Jinse's plans yesterday come to nothing.

At this moment, Jinse couldn't help but look up at Chalan and Chaqing, with a slight warmth in his eyes.

She thought, now that she was like this, it made her feel that it would be good to be transferred to the imperial tea room for duty.

At this time, in the imperial study room, after dealing with a bunch of memorials, the emperor picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and suddenly looked at Eunuch Yang as if he had thought of something.

Sensing the emperor's gaze, Eunuch Yang quickly asked softly: "Your Majesty?".

The emperor hummed and asked him: "I just saw that the little girl who rescued him before seemed to have been here too?"

Eunuch Yang nodded in agreement and explained: "Yes, Miss Jinse has just been transferred to the imperial tea room on duty today!".

The emperor nodded understandingly.

After taking another sip of tea, he continued to ask: "Some time ago, I asked you to check that little girl, but what did you find?".

Eunuch Yang bowed his hands in response, and then told what he found about Jinse.

"This Jinse girl entered the palace at the age of seven and has been working as a rough maid in the Emperor Zhao Palace for four years. I heard from people in charge that she doesn't talk much and is hard-working. She rarely interacts with others. She enters the palace. There’s nothing wrong with what I’ve done since…”

The emperor nodded.

Eunuch Yang indeed told Jinse's performance in the palace very carefully, but these were not what the emperor wanted to hear most.

He asked directly: "You also sent people to investigate what happened before she entered the palace?".

Eunuch Yang paused, and then replied: "If you return to the emperor, I have already sent someone to investigate.".

The emperor asked: "What abnormalities can be found?"

Eunuch Yang shook his head: "For the time being, we have only found out that girl Jinse is from Yulaiheng County. She fled the famine and came to the imperial city five or six years ago. She was recruited into the palace four years ago. There is nothing unusual about her."

The emperor was stunned: "Yunlaiheng County?"

Eunuch Yang nodded: "Yes, there was a severe drought in the Yelai area six years ago, and Miss Jinse came to the imperial city at that time!".
