Fortunate Young Gentleman

In the Imperial Study Room, King Duan, Kang and King Huai stood side by side, and the Imperial Academy stood in the back with their heads bowed while offering wine.

Emperor Chen looked at Prince Kang and said straight to the point: "Cheng'er, please tell us in detail what you mentioned in the booklet today about the reconstruction of printing regulations."

After Chen Huang finished speaking, King Huai's face was expressionless, and a trace of vigilance immediately flashed in King Duan's eyes.

King Kang stood up and said, "Back to my father, I feel that the imperial court's regulations on publishing books are not perfect and there are many omissions. As for the specific details, the officials of the Imperial College need to discuss it."

Chen Huang looked at him with no expression on his face, but he couldn't help but feel a trace of doubt in his heart.

He thought about it again and again, but he never thought about the benefits to King Kang or the harm to King Duan by reestablishing the book publishing laws. Based on his understanding of the two sons, it was neither self-interest nor harmful to others. , they won't do it.

King Duan, who was standing next to King Kang, was even more puzzled and immediately became a little wary.

King Kang wants to trouble the Imperial Academy this time. Is there some kind of trap?

Even if there is no trap, he will definitely object to what King Kang wants to do. The big loss he suffered last time makes him feel a little distressed when he thinks about it now.

He took a step forward and said, "My father often taught us that running a big country is like cooking small dishes. You should not disturb the fish while cooking, and you should not be troubled when running the country. A few days ago, the imperial court made some changes in the printing of books. If you just feel that If any law is inappropriate, it would be a waste of time and effort to amend it at every turn.”

Chen Huang did not respond immediately, but began to think again.

If it is necessary to change, in fact, every law and order can be modified. Some are insignificant and there is no need to improve them. For the purpose of governing the country, maintaining stability is better than changing.

He looked at King Huai, who had been silent since he came in, and asked, "Rui'er, what do you think?"

King Huai raised his head and said: "Father, I think that what the two royal brothers said has a certain truth. In the end, I have to ask my father to make a clear decision."

Emperor Chen glanced at him, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, you all can go down, and the Imperial Academy will stay for the wine ceremony."

The three of them left the imperial study. King Huai bowed his hands to them and said, "The two royal brothers should go to pay their respects to the two empresses. I will go back to the mansion first..."

King Kang and King Huai looked at him and nodded at the same time.

King Huai was no opponent to the two of them. He had no foundation or background in the court, and his mother and concubine died of illness early. Among the three, he was just a foil. The threat to them was not much greater than that of King Run.

The two of them were the opponents who needed to be wary. They looked at each other and each walked towards a palace.

A moment later, in Concubine Tang Hui's chamber, Prince Duan sipped a cup of tea and said, "I wonder what tricks Zhao Cheng is playing this time. No matter what, we can't let him get what he wants."

Thinking of something, she looked at the woman in palace clothes opposite and asked: "Mother, concubine, has my father revealed to you the candidate for Minister of Household Affairs?"

The woman in palace clothes looked at him, shook her head and said, "Your Majesty never talks about state affairs when I am here."

"This is all the fault of that scoundrel. If my sister-in-law could have agreed to that marriage, we would have had another helper in the court now..." A fierce look appeared on Prince Duan's face, and he said, "How much thought have I spent? , he only had a minister of household affairs in his hands, and now he has ruined everything!"

Concubine Tang Hui frowned and said, "As a junior, you, as a junior, should not make unreasonable comments on the matters of the elders."

Prince Duan put down his teacup, took a deep breath, and said, "My child made a mistake, please don't blame me."

At the same time, in another part of the palace.

A beautiful woman in palace attire looked at Prince Kang and asked, "Why is Cheng'er so happy today? Could it be that your father praised you?"

"My father didn't praise me." King Kang smiled and said, "But here, my child, there is one thing that makes me happier than being praised by my father."

The beautiful woman in palace clothes looked at him and asked with a smile: "What is that?"

King Kang took a sip from the tea cup and recounted what had just happened in the palace.

Concubine Zhang Xian looked at him doubtfully and asked, "If that's the case, why didn't you explain the benefits of this move to your father just now?"

King Kang smiled and said: "Of course I have to say it, but not now, but in the morning meeting tomorrow."

He was secretly glad in his heart that his original thoughts were exactly the same as those of his mother and concubine. But after Xiao Jue's suggestion, he realized that there was no point in talking in the imperial study. He wanted to stand in the court in front of all the civil and military officials. In front of him, he slapped Wang Duan hard in the face. He wanted to tell everyone that he, Zhao Cheng, had a unique vision and understood the sufferings of the people. Zhao Ming was not worthy of carrying his shoes!

Xiao Jue taught him how to get the maximum benefit from the same thing.

In the imperial study room, the Imperial Academy's wine ceremony had just retired. Emperor Chen put aside Prince Kang's brochure and also forgot about the contents on the brochure.

King Kang was eager to do something, but he only relied on enthusiasm and no detailed planning, which made him a little disappointed. Even these trivial things, as long as he thought about it carefully, it would be left to him. It doesn’t hurt to do it.

However, compared to before, he has undergone some changes now. It is gratifying to finally stop fighting with King Duan.

He was leaning on a chair to rest, and a figure came in from outside the door, holding a jade bowl in his hand, and cautiously walked up to him.

Chen Huang looked at him and asked, "Yuan'er, what's going on?"

Zhao Yuan held the bowl in front of Emperor Chen and said, "I made a bowl of egg custard. Father, please try it and see how it tastes."

Emperor Chen looked at the delicate and smooth egg custard in the bowl and said in surprise, "Did you make this?"

Ling Yun stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this bowl of egg custard was indeed made by His Royal Highness Prince Run. The royal chef just helped His Royal Highness put the bowl into the pot."

"Could it be that you inherited your mother's cooking skills?" Smelling the fragrance of the egg custard, Emperor Chen forgot to scold him for being a prince and not being so naughty. He couldn't help but pick up the spoon and tasted it.

Prince Run blinked and asked, "Father, how is it?"

Emperor Chen looked at him and said, "It's a little salty, but the rest is fine. Did Yuan'er learn this from the imperial chef?"

Zhao Yuan rolled his eyes and murmured, "It's salty... When I cook it for Wang's sister tomorrow, I should put less salt..."

"What?"

"Nothing. I learned this secretly when the teacher was cooking today." Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "Father, eat more. The teacher said that it is rich in protein, which can improve brain function and protect the liver..., and then, and then..., in short, it is very good for the body!"

After that, he ran out quickly.

Emperor Chen looked at him with a smile and said, "Wei Jian, pour me some water."

Although the egg custard was salty, Emperor Chen still ate it all, without wasting a bowl.

Although he had many descendants, Yuan'er was the only one who could have this heart, whether they were adult or underage princes and princesses.

This bowl of egg custard was better than any delicacies from the mountains and seas for him.

A young eunuch walked up slowly and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to eat."

"Take it down, I'm full." Emperor Chen stood up and murmured, "How can what they make compare to my son?"

He smiled and said, "Go to Shuxiu Palace."

...

There were only three people in the house. Tang Ning washed vegetables and cooked, washed pots and dishes by himself. He felt that he was not used to having no maids around him.

It was a bit sad to think about it. In just one year, he had fallen to this state.

The former five-good youth was now also poisoned by the feudal society...

No matter what, he had to recruit a few maids as soon as possible. If there was a chance, he would ask Xiao Jue if there was any good channel. Maids were easy to find these days, but maids who knew their roots and were clean were rare.

He sat in the pavilion and watched the old beggar teach Xiao Xiao to practice martial arts. He glanced inadvertently and saw someone walking in from the front yard.

There was no gatehouse outside the house. He just closed the door. When Xiao Yi and the others came, they would push the door in by themselves.

It was not Xiaoru and Xiaoyi who came this time, but Su Mei.

Tang Ning walked over and asked in confusion: "Why are you here?"

"I'm not here to see you." Su Mei glanced at him and asked: "Is Sister Zhong here?"

They had only known each other for less than a day and she was already calling each other sister, but Su Huli was destined to be disappointed today, Xiaoyi would not move here until after June.

He shook his head and said: "If you want to find Xiaoyi, go to the county government office, she is not here, and she will not move here for more than half a month."

"What?" Su Mei was stunned when she heard this, and then said happily: "She is not here?"
