Chapter 413 The Crown Prince Enters the Palace
Seeing Xiang'er's happy appearance, Yun Xiaodie didn't want to hurt her, but she couldn't help feeling bitter in her heart. This matter is all on Brother Shen, so what does it have to do with the princess?If Big Brother Shen has a heart, what can the princess do?Brother Shen has no intentions, so what can he do?She is not as naive as Xiang'er, she thinks that only Yao Cunhui will be generous and virtuous enough to come forward to accept her for Shen Quan.

Rong Ma, Hong Liao and the others seemed to be on the verge of a formidable enemy, they always looked at Yun Xiaodie with a little bit of unfriendly eyes, Yun Xiaodie was keenly aware of it during lunch, and immediately felt uncomfortable.In addition, Shen Jialin may be worried about her mother's illness recently, and her spirits are not very good. She is not as affectionate and joking with Yun Xiaodie as before, and Yun Xiaodie feels even more cramped.On the contrary, Yao Cunhui felt sorry for seeing her, and talked to her with a smile from time to time, virtually dispelling the embarrassing atmosphere.

Afterwards, Rong's mother couldn't help but blame Yao Cunhui, saying that she shouldn't be too kind to Yun Xiaodie! "If the princess would definitely not be like this in the past, why would she have any scruples now? The prince said he didn't want her. Doesn't your behavior make people think differently?"

Yao Cunhui smiled wryly in his heart, Yun Xiaodie is not only Shen Quan's righteous sister, but also the only daughter of General Yun, who is also very popular among the generals of the Northwest Army, can he treat her better and comfort her ?Now that Shen Quan is not in the mansion, if she has been wronged in any way, wouldn't it be all her fault?

It's just that it's inconvenient for Yao Cunhui to talk to Rong's mother about these matters involving the court, and she may not understand what she said. After thinking about it, she said in words that Rong's mother could understand and love to hear: "You old man is confused! The prince's attitude is not good. I am so determined, why don’t I be happy to be a good person? Don’t worry, I know it! If I show her face and make things difficult for her, then what’s the matter? Only then will the prince blame me when he comes back!”

When Mama Rong heard the enlightenment, she clapped her hands and laughed and said: "The princess is wise, it's not that this old servant is confused! Since I'm doing this, this old slave also knows what to do, and I will tell Hong Li and others, please rest assured, the princess! However, The old slave still doesn’t think it’s right, do you want to find two smart and proper people to secretly watch their master and servant?”

This is necessary, if Yun Xiaodie came here after reaching an agreement with the queen mother, and some secret tricks were used to force Shen Quan to let go, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?Thinking of this, Yao Cunhui nodded and told Rong Ma to be careful.

Following Yun Xiaodie's return to the mansion, the servants and servants in the mansion were as excited as if they had been pumped, and everyone was eagerly staring at the performance of the big show, and the dull air that had been in the past few days swept away most of it.I don't want to, Yun Xiaodie's master and servant were quiet and didn't cause any trouble. Most of the time every day, she and Shen Jialin waited on Mrs. Xiao's sick bed, and occasionally she would relax in front of Mrs. Shen and have a meal at the Yao Cunhui Xihe Hall .Yao Cunhui treated Yun Xiaodie the same as before, she didn't show any contempt because of the side concubine, and she didn't care about making things difficult for her.Everyone was secretly disappointed, so they had no choice but to leave this matter behind.

On this day, the prince suddenly entered the palace to see the queen mother.

The queen mother just listened to the urgent report sent back by Shen Quan. She was in a depressed mood and was watching and feeding the fish in the willow smoke pavilion in the imperial garden. Hearing this, she raised her eyebrows slightly, "What is he here for? That's all, let's pass it on!"

Although the crown prince is the crown prince of the country, he has always been unnoticed in the eyes of the queen mother as an invisible person.The queen mother didn't feel much about this grandson who lived an honest life.Except before his wedding, the queen mother never took the initiative to summon him.

"Grandson visits the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will have a long life and a healthy life!" The prince respectfully lowered his hands and followed the eunuch who passed on the message, and at about the same time he walked forward a few steps, knelt down and bowed his head to pay respects to the Queen Mother, more than two meters away.

The Empress Dowager was a little happy when she heard him call herself "Queen Dowager" instead of "Imperial Grandmother". She lost her vigilance and calmed down with a smile: "My family doesn't need to be so polite, get up!"

"Yes, grandson, thank the Empress Dowager for your kindness!" The prince kowtowed respectfully again, and then slowly got up.

The way he stood up was very respectful and calm, with a bit of elegant elegance, in short, he was very comfortable and pleasing to the eye, without any servile attitude, and his innate noble temperament was invisible. Two points were revealed.

This made the Empress Dowager quite displeased, and her face immediately sank by two points.Subconsciously, she thought of the Lu family, who also kowtowed to say hello, and also thanked Xie En for getting up, but she had to admit that the grandson in front of her was much more pleasing to the eye than her natal nephew.

"What's the matter here?" The Queen Mother asked lightly, her head had been turned away, and she was throwing fish food into the water, seeing the orange, red, and golden fish come to snatch the food, making a lot of noise.

The muscles on the prince's face stiffened slightly, and his heart tightened.No matter how cautious and clever he is, it is impossible for him to know why the queen mother is unhappy at this time, let alone guess what the queen mother is thinking.

The prince is good at this point. If he dare not guess or can't guess, he will never pretend to be smart. Anyway, he is an "honest person", so let's tell the truth!

"I heard...the Yellow River flooded again..."

"Huh?" The Empress Dowager's eyes flashed, like two sharp lightsabers shooting straight at the Prince without warning.The Empress Dowager waved her sleeves, and the female officials and attendants bowed their heads and retreated quietly, leaving only the grandparents and grandchildren in the pavilion.

After a while, the queen mother said lightly: "The emperor has to worry about state affairs. The prince can study hard. These things are not the prince's business."

"Grandson would like to follow the Queen Mother's instructions!" The prince didn't show any displeasure on his face, instead he accepted the teaching sincerely, and sighed softly: "It's just that when thinking of the victims struggling in the flood, my grandson feels quite uneasy. After all, that's all. They are the people of our Great Zhou!"

As he spoke, the prince took out a small object wrapped in light yellow soft silk from his sleeve, and presented it to the queen mother with both hands: "Queen mother, here is 6000 taels of silver bills, which is spare money that is not used in the East Palace on weekdays. Many, it is also grandson's kindness, please accept it by the Queen Mother, and it can also resettle a few families of victims of the disaster."

The queen mother couldn't help raising her eyes to glance at him, and her eyes flickered a few times.The Empress Dowager knew about the financial situation of the Eastern Palace. The Crown Princess was used to living a luxurious life in the Lu family, but she was not used to it when she arrived in the Eastern Palace. Because of this, she often quarreled with the Prince and the Prince in private, and was able to get more than 1 taels of silver. , it's hard for him!

"Since it's your wish, the Ai family will accept it!" The queen mother smiled and nodded and took it, showing a few traces of approval: "The prince is so kind and loving, it is the blessing of the people in the world! Well, your intentions are already understood by the Ai family. The bank note will be delivered to Shen Quan when I turn around, and you can go!"

"Yes, my grandson is leaving!" The prince immediately became happy, and unconsciously smiled, and bowed respectfully and retreated.

The Empress Dowager looked at his receding back, glanced down at the soft silk handkerchief in her hand, smiled slightly, and slipped her hands into her sleeves. The next day, she sent someone to send the banknote to Shen Quan along with the secret decree. Zhong also leisurely mentioned a few words about the bank note, and ordered someone to go to the East Palace to reward the prince with an ancient tripod and a set of four treasures of the imperial study, and praised the prince a few words.

Although the little eunuch who rewarded the reward did not clarify what he said, the prince is not stupid, so he didn't know why the queen mother rewarded him, so he was very happy to thank him for receiving the reward.

In the eyes of outsiders, the crown prince received the reward inexplicably, so he was in a state of surprise, and many eyes couldn't help but stare at the East Palace, asking what was going on overtly and secretly.Especially Lu Xiangye, his news is more psychic, he knows that the prince has entered the palace to ask the queen mother, and he also knows that the prince mentioned the Yellow River flood to the queen mother, and he doesn't know what happened after that.

But the prince received the reward, so he must have said something to the queen mother, and it happened to go into the heart of the queen mother!
However, Lu Xiangye tried his best and couldn't get a single word from the prince, so he finally couldn't help but go to the palace and ask the queen mother.

"The prince is getting better and better now. After all, he is a person who reads the books of sages and sages, and knows how to share the worries of the queen mother! Regarding the flood in the Yellow River, what is the prince's advice? I heard that the prince came to offer advice to the queen mother a few days ago..."

The queen mother became angry when she heard this, the Yellow River flooded?When I heard about the flood in the Yellow River earlier, didn’t the two of you hide as far away as possible?What are you asking now?Asked and asked, but still refused to ask clearly, but wanted to play tricks in front of her!
The queen mother sneered secretly, and she was annoyed and resented: she is a dignified queen mother, she is decisive, and she keeps her word. Does she need to explain things to others?Is it necessary to tell others about the conversation between her and her own grandson?It all depends on her mood!

"Shen Aiqing came to report that the heavy rain still hasn't stopped, the disaster is still expanding, and I don't know when it will end. Every time I think of the homes of the victims who have been destroyed and have no food to eat, and the mourning after the flood, Aijia feels extremely uneasy. Ah! What good strategy does Xiangguo have?"

The Empress Dowager sighed, but she asked like this when she opened her mouth.

Lu Xiangye couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and he became even more suspicious.The Queen Mother actually avoided answering his question, she was clearly protecting the Prince!what does that mean?It means that the Queen Mother's heart has changed!It no longer puts the Lu family first!
"Xiangguo?" Seeing that Lu Xiangye's expression kept changing but he didn't answer her own words, the Queen Mother felt even more displeased, feeling that he was getting bolder and not taking herself seriously, so she couldn't help but get more angry and snorted One sound.

Lu Xiangye suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed his head and said: "This is such a natural disaster that cannot be controlled by human beings. Please rest assured that the Queen Mother, take care of the body of the phoenix! I have always been loyal to my duties and handled things properly, I believe that I will live up to the empress dowager's great trust, and I will definitely resettle the victims of the disaster!"

Saying is tantamount to not saying!The queen mother became more irritable in her heart, but her face softened, she nodded and said: "Well, you are right! The court attaches great importance to this matter, and King Zhenxi is indeed a loyal and hard-working man. Don't worry too! It's just that the army has been used for the past few years, and now the treasury is empty, and the Ministry of Households can't provide much money! What does Xiangguo think now?"
