Chapter 236

Eighth Prince! ! !
Wasn't he sent by the emperor to patrol the south, why did he come back so soon?
The Queen's brows could not help but frown. This woman had no intention of collusion, but she was indeed an unshakable stumbling block, and also the most troublesome.

"Brother Eight Emperors, the emperor ordered you to manage the river in the south. The river has not been dredged yet. Why did you come back to the capital without authorization?"

During the rainy season, there is light rain every day.

There are many lakes in the coastal areas, and due to the special terrain, the rivers are silted up from time to time, causing floods in the downstream, causing disasters to the people.

The eighth prince of the royal family is good at managing water quality, and he was specially sent to the south to rescue people from disasters.

"It will take a lot of time for river management. Besides, the silver allocated to the south has not reached the hands of this king. Naturally, this king will return to Beijing to discuss it with the emperor."

It's about discussing, but it's just asking for silver taels again.

After many years of war, the national treasury has been extremely empty. It is simply impossible to spend enough silver to manage the canals.

"Brother Eight Emperors, the people outside don't know what's going on, don't you know what's the most frustrating thing for your brother now, so don't make trouble here!"

The queen grabbed the Eighth Prince's arm, took him aside, and continued in a low voice, "My palace and the emperor are trying to solve it. If you really care about the common people, don't interfere with what is happening now."

"Using the lives of the whole family to rob Hexi Long's property, isn't it a bit too shameless?"

The one who dares to talk to the queen like this is probably only the Eighth Prince.

After all, with the support of the Empress Dowager behind him, even the emperor has to treat him with three points of courtesy, let alone the lord of the middle palace, who has to be treated carefully.

"Eight Emperor Brother, everyone can criticize the emperor on the basis of morality, but you can't."

The queen scolded angrily, and the expression on her face became even more angry, "If the Long family in Hexi is willing to take the initiative to hand over their wealth, why should they bother so much? Besides, General He can be regarded as an important minister in the court. Trouble, the people are also in urgent need of disaster relief materials, shouldn't he make a little effort and think more about the common people in the world?"

Some high-sounding rhetoric, but it is not unreasonable.

If she is asked to choose, she also hopes to calm things down, instead of calculating everywhere.

But for a woman, a queen, I can only think about the one I love, only the emperor, other things are no longer within the scope of consideration.

"If you don't want to take care of this matter, don't meddle in it."

Giving the final warning, he poked hard on his heart, "Go to the south and wait for the news. In less than a month, the money for disaster relief will be shipped over. You will definitely not lose any money. You can rest assured about that."

Putting these words aside, he signaled the chief eunuch behind him to step forward.

"Eighth Prince, this is General He's Mansion. You should go back earlier. If you want to talk about family affairs, let's go to the palace. The Emperor and Empress welcome you."

snort!
Ignoring the rootless eunuch at all, snorted coldly, and walked straight into the main hall, "This king just met the emperor's wife by chance. I came here today because of the old general He's agreement with this king. Nothing to do."

As soon as these words came out, I felt a row of crows flying in the sky.

The air became condensed, and the atmosphere became even more gloomy, as if a big battle was about to break out, but it was everyone's forbearance that kept them from breaking up.

"Lan'er, it's been a while since I last saw you, and you're already so out of shape?"

"The Eighth Prince is really absurd."

He Qilan's attitude towards the Eighth Prince was quite gentle, and he didn't have too much resistance. After all, he and his father had been friends for a long time, and he was not someone who was calculating.

And rushing back to Kyoto suddenly at this time is also to solve their family's problems.

"Father created a mess inside, which no one in the world can solve, but dad said that if the Eighth Prince stepped forward, he would be able to turn the tide."

The volume of the last few words was deliberately increased, in order to be heard by the empress, "Hey!" A helpless sigh, and then he said, "But it's a pity, the empress empress arrived suddenly today, I guess my brother doesn't have time to accompany you, why don't you let Lan'er How do you feel about playing a game of chess with the Eighth Prince?"

"Very good, very good."

The Eighth Prince did not refuse, but left talking and laughing with He Qilan.

He didn't pay attention to the empress in the palace who was standing aside at all, and the chief eunuch who was with him didn't dare to criticize him because of the lessons learned from the girl who was close to him. My daughter is really too unruly, why don't we get her to the palace, so that I can teach her a lesson."

Not to mention whether the Eighth Prince can be invited into the palace, after all, the empress dowager is very sad.

But He Qilan, as the daughter of a high official in Kyoto, the royal family has the right to teach etiquette on her behalf, so as not to embarrass the dynasty, this is the rule of the past.

"No need."

The queen waved her hand and grabbed one of the cuffs, "It's interesting to be a wild girl, but when she becomes my sister in the harem, she can be trained in time. If she really can't be trained well, there is such a lively person If you stay with the emperor, the emperor will be happier."

How could a man whom he loved wholeheartedly be willing to let him marry another woman.

If it's just an ordinary person, it's fine, at most, you can be a violent and domineering wife, and you don't allow your husband and wife to take concubines, only one person is allowed to occupy them.

But he is different, he is the body of gold, he is the emperor, he is the master of this world, he is the god in everyone's eyes, he needs to spread his branches and leaves, he needs to extend his heirs, everything is determined by the ancestors family training.

As the main wife, the queen, even if there are thousands of dissatisfaction in her heart, she has to endure it.

"Empress, you are really dedicated to the emperor. If the emperor finds out, he will be very happy to have such a worthy empress like you."

"You don't want to put this high hat on Ben Gong's head."

Looking at the direction in which the Eighth Prince and He Qilan left, his eyebrows were dark, "First find a way to take this disobedient little monkey, and then deal with the Eighth Prince, he is in the capital for a day, we are not easy to touch the members of the He family .”

"The servant understands, and the servant will pass the decree back to the palace."

"Ah."

The queen hummed lightly, then stepped into the main hall.

And the other side...

"Huh! It was too dangerous just now."

He Qilan, who returned to the backyard, sighed heavily, folded her arms in front of her body, and leaned back against the stone door, "If the queen really takes me into the palace, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out again. , Thanks to Uncle Eight, you came in time, and this did not lead to irreparable bad luck."

Calling Uncle Eight affectionately, the relationship between the two became closer.
