It is better to be an emperor than to fight in the palace

Chapter 53 Do you still have objections?
  As soon as Jiang Simian and Yuan Qifeng left the range of the ancient clan, they were discovered by the Hidden Dragon Guards who were looking for them in just a stick of incense.

"Lord"

The Hidden Dragon Guards were almost crying with excitement, finally seeing their master safe and sound.

"My Lord, what happened before?" Ye Cheng couldn't help but come over to get first-hand information.

Yuan Qifeng glanced at him sideways and said, "It's none of your business."

Ye Cheng touched his nose and felt that his master's temper had changed so much compared to the day before yesterday.

Jiang Simian couldn't help but inquire around him. He must have been quarreling with Jiang Changzai. Yes, that's it.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the palace. The Queen Mother and Concubine Ming found that you and Jiang Changzai were missing and were making a fuss in the Prefecture. The Queen Mother ordered that the Prefect be arrested. Now the entire Prefecture and the parade are in chaos." , Meng Dong took a step forward and said.

Yuan Qifeng nodded, "Go back now."

After speaking, without waiting for Jiang Simian's reaction, he picked her up, held her in his arms, flew into the air, and quickly headed towards the prefect's mansion.

Several people from the Hidden Dragon Guard hurriedly followed. Ye Cheng was full of confusion. When he came, didn't the Lord say that he should be steady one step at a time? Why didn't he need to be steady when he returned?

Ye Cheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's hard to serve people now, and it's even harder to serve someone like the Lord whose temper changes rapidly.

With the blessing of Yuan Qifeng's strength, he returned to the prefect's mansion before sunset.

The guards in front of the prefect's mansion had all become eunuchs in the palace. When they saw Yuan Qifeng and Jiang Simian appearing, they hurried back to report, "Empress Dowager, Concubine Ming, the Emperor is back~~~"

For a time, the entire prefecture was in chaos and chaos. As soon as Yuan Qifeng and his wife returned to their resting place, the Queen Mother came over with Concubine Ming to kill them.

"Your Majesty, where have you been these past few days?!" The Queen Mother asked dissatisfiedly as soon as she opened her mouth.

Cai Mingyi also stared at Jiang Simian hatefully.

"What, now Concubine Ming shouldn't bow when she sees me? Is this the rule that Master Cai taught you?" Yuan Qifeng ignored the Queen Mother and looked at Cai Mingyi and said.

Only then did Cai Mingyi realize that she had been rude in her haste, and hurriedly bowed to Yuan Qifeng and saluted, "I, my concubine, pay your respects to Your Majesty."

"Okay, Mingyi is just too worried about your safety. It's not like some people, relying on His Majesty's favor, actually abducted His Majesty and left privately. This is the most unforgivable crime and should be punished," the Queen Mother said fiercely.

Seeing Jiang Simian sitting aside and eating melon seeds as if he didn't understand, Cai Mingyi couldn't help but said: "Don't you have anything to say, Jiang Chang?! Can't you hear the Queen Mother talking to you?"

Jiang Simian blinked her big eyes and said innocently: "Ming Fei, you can eat randomly but not talk nonsense. The Queen Mother mentioned me, Jiang Simian, in that sentence just now. The Queen Mother was talking about certain people." , I don’t have a surname.”

This is the first time Cai Mingyi has seen such a red-tongued person talking nonsense, "You are simply..."

"That's so bold!" The Queen Mother took over the topic for her.

"Your Majesty, Jiang Chang is abducting you and leaving privately this time. Her crime is unforgivable. You must punish her to serve as a warning to others."

Yuan Qifeng then raised his eyes and looked at the Queen Mother, "Who told the Queen Mother that Jiang Chang was abducting me? Does the Queen Mother think that I am a three-year-old child who will be abducted at will?"

The Queen Mother was stunned, "It's because the Ai family was not careful in what they said. It was not abduction, but a temptation. If Jiang Chang was not there, the Ai family would not believe that the emperor would leave privately."

Yuan Qifeng smiled, "It was indeed me who brought Jiang Changzai out of the palace. If we talk about seduction, it was me who seduced Jiang Changzai." This was the first time Cai Mingyi saw Yuan Qifeng's smile, and she was instantly addicted to it. She didn't even receive the Queen Mother's wink to her.

Helpless, the Queen Mother had no choice but to retort by herself, "Your majesty, you are always tempted to travel privately, and you won't make people laugh when you tell them."

"Really?" Yuan Qifeng raised his eyebrows, "I remember that when the late emperor was still alive, he took Concubine Hua on private trips many times. When receiving hunting from other countries, he also threw his country's envoys to ministers and took Hua with them. The imperial concubine is traveling around the mountains and rivers. Why don't you tell me, the Queen Mother, who in the past has laughed out loud because of this?"

Concubine Hua can be said to be the lifelong enemy of the Queen Mother. As soon as she hears these three words, she will completely lose her mind, "How can you compare with the late emperor?!"

It's over. As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother was dumbfounded, Concubine Ming also woke up, and Yuan Qifeng smiled even happier.

"The Queen Mother is saying that I am not worthy of my virtue?"

"Aijia suddenly has a headache and feels unwell. Mingyi, please help Aijia go back and rest quickly." The Queen Mother just wanted to evacuate as soon as possible.

Cai Mingyi quickly stepped forward to support the Queen Mother and prepared to retreat.

At this time, Yuan Qifeng stood up and said, "I have only been out for three or two days, and the Queen Mother and Concubine Ming caused chaos in the entire prefecture. You even intervened in the government and sent people to arrest the prefect. After returning to the palace, Concubine Ming was banned for a day. "Yue, the Queen Mother is not feeling well. She should go back to Cining Palace and have a good rest. When she feels better, she will come out again for activities. I will let Liu Xutong pass on the decree later."

The Queen Mother's expression changed. This was a disguised form of confinement. She had not suffered this grievance during the time of the late Emperor. It was all due to this little Chang Zai. Like Concubine Hua back then, she was a witch who knew how to confuse people's hearts and bring disaster to the country.

Cai Mingyi's face was filled with sadness, "Your Majesty, I am doing this entirely for Your Majesty. I am just too worried about Your Majesty."

"You don't want to be grounded?" Yuan Qifeng asked.

Cai Mingyi thought things were turning around and nodded repeatedly.

"Okay," Yuan Qifeng said, "It's okay if you can't help it."

Cai Mingyi was overjoyed that His Majesty was so easy to talk to! He must have taken a fancy to himself!
  "Starting from tomorrow, the entire Grand Scholar's Mansion will be grounded for a month," Yuan Qifeng said expressionlessly.

Cai Mingyi's whole face fell down, and she said with a sad face: "I am willing to be grounded for a month."

"Do you think I can take back what I said at will?" Yuan Qifeng snorted coldly, "From tomorrow on, you and everyone else in the Bachelor's Office will be banned for one month. Do you still have any objections?"

Cai Mingyi quickly shook her head, "I dare not have any objections."

"Don't you dare? Why, did I wrong you?" Yuan Qifeng said.

Cai Mingyi quickly said: "I have no objection."

Yuan Qifeng nodded with satisfaction and said, "If you don't help the Queen Mother to go down to rest, if she goes to the west because of her physical discomfort, I will blame it on you."

The Queen Mother was so angry that her temples were throbbing, but she still suppressed it and let Cai Mingyi help her back.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty has gone too far this time..."

"Mingyi, the Aijia really has a headache. You should go back first. Don't worry, the Aijia won't let her run wild."

After Cai Mingyi left, the Queen Mother sat alone for a long time. Then in the middle of the night, no one noticed, a figure slipped out of the prefect's mansion.
