His Royal Highness, he is plotting against me

One month later,
The prince and his party of six turned into students who took their younger brothers out to study.

Now Dajing's style of study is flourishing, and the imperial examinations select truly capable people.

Therefore, there has been a wave of study tours in the families of well-to-do families, "reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles".

They set off from Shangjing, intending to go north through Jizhou to Youzhou, and visit the hometown where their grandfather's family once lived.

Then across Bingzhou, headed to Liangzhou, on behalf of the emperor to comfort the soldiers in the Northwest.

Then go south to Yizhou to visit Huimu Concubine's family, then take a boat down to Jiaozhou and Yangzhou to learn about the maritime trade that just emerged a few years ago.

Finally, take a boat from Jingzhou, go north along the canal, visit the Liu family and the Chen family in Runan, and return to Shangjing.

For this business, His Majesty gave the prince a two-year time limit.

However, to the outside world, His Majesty said that the prince should go to the Supreme Emperor to fulfill his filial piety on his behalf.

As for where the Supreme Emperor is, find it yourself!

Qiyang Palace.

His Majesty listened to the report from Hu Zheng, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, saying that the prince and his party had arrived at Jizhou Fucheng.

"They run fast."

His Majesty closed the folder in his hand, and said something casually.

Hu Zheng smiled: "There is still half a month until the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival held every three years in Jizhou City. I think His Royal Highness and Princess want to see it."

His Majesty didn't deny it, but moved his sore neck slightly, with regret on his face:
"Why did I let the prince out..."

When he was the crown prince, the Supreme Emperor would hide whenever he could, and the memorials he had to approve every day were very high.

Now that I am the emperor, it turns out that it is the crown prince's turn to be happy again!
Eunuch Kang and Hu Zheng both pursed their lips and smiled secretly.

"Cough cough..."

Eunuch Kang's light cough caught His Majesty's attention.

Facing His Majesty's gloomy gaze, Mr. Kang said:
"Your Majesty, Aunt Cuiyun from the empress's palace has just come, and she said that you should go back to have dinner early after finishing your work today. The empress made your favorite eight-treasure fruit!"

His Majesty the Emperor raised his eyebrows.

have to!Now the secret that he actually likes sweets is well known in the palace.

His Majesty looked out at the sun slanting to the west, and deliberately scolded: "You old man! Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Eunuch Kang smiled, knowing that Long Live Lord was in a good mood, so he dared to say a few words:

"That slave is watching you, Lord Long Live, you are busy..."

If you want him to say, His Majesty is very happy that His Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Jing are gone!
It turns out that the empress is full of princes and princesses, and her majesty secretly ate it so many times.

Recently, he has seen His Majesty's radiant and energetic face every day, and he can tell at a glance that it is the result of the empress's meticulous care.

Even complaining that His Highness the Crown Prince shouldn't be let go, the smile in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

Seeing the Long Live Lord coming out from behind the desk, he walked out of the study in a short while, so uneasy.

Eunuch Kang sighed in his heart: What a return home!
Then hurriedly pulled up his legs to keep up.

In these days, he never forgave others, His Majesty was right when he called him an "old man".

These eunuchs had a slightly shorter life expectancy than normal people, and now Eunuch Kang, who was in his forties, couldn't stop the fine lines at the corners of his eyes because of his daily work.

He looked at His Majesty who was walking like a dragon and a tiger in front of him, and chased after him out of breath.

I don't know when, His Majesty's original striding pace also slowed down...

*
Yanxi Palace.

The little kitchen was buzzing.

The six-year-old third prince followed his mother around inside like a tail.

One side whispered: "Mother, put more hazelnuts, my father likes to eat this."

"And this crushed peanut, my father also likes it."

"Put more goat cheese, my father..."

Chen Fulin laughed angrily at his youngest son's words.

She exposed her son mercilessly: "Your father never eats crushed peanuts, and he doesn't like goat's milk either."

The third prince choked on the unfinished words ⊙~⊙:...

"Maybe, maybe my father didn't like to eat it before, but now he does?"

He didn't forget to force himself to add drama.

"The last time I went to Qiyang Palace, my father told me personally!"

Before Chen Fulin could speak, he heard a low voice with a smile coming from outside.

"Oh? Eunuch Kang, why don't I remember what I said?"

Eunuch Kang also smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I don't remember you saying that either."

The third prince didn't expect that he would be caught on the spot by making up a lie.

Immediately stuck out his tongue embarrassingly, shrank his neck and moved his calf back.

His mother gave a meaningful "hum" twice, and looked at him clearly showing the meaning of "we'll settle the score later".

Then, the third prince saw his mother's face change, the cloudy and clear in an instant, and greeted her with a bright face.

"Your Majesty, are you back?"

She walked over, bowed her knees, and was helped up by His Majesty before she could squat down.

He held her hand and asked with a smile: "What are you two doing? You also drove everyone out of the small kitchen."

Chen Fulin pursed his lips and smiled, but shook his head and said:
"The Buddha said, don't say it."

"If you are tired all day, go to the temple to rest first, just wait and see!"

As she said that, she ordered Cuiyun: "Bring the eight-treasure fruit that has been soaked in the ice water for an afternoon to His Majesty, and let him quench his thirst first."

Babao Guozhen, as the name suggests, is made from the pulp of eight kinds of fruits, with milk, smoothies and other things added in it.

It is really a must-have product for cooling off in summer!
This way of eating was learned by Chen Fulin at her grandfather's house when she was young.

Later, when I was at home, every summer, I would make it in the kitchen to cool off the heat of the family.

After entering the palace, he didn't let go of it, and even took His Majesty, who was the prince at that time, with him.

She is also self-taught, making one kind of fruit into ice bowl pulp into several kinds, not only the color is beautiful, but the taste is also quite good.

This Babao Guozhen is the result of improvement!

His Majesty laughed in surprise: "Yo, so the Babao Guozhen is just an appetizer?"

Standing at thirty, forty is not confused, fifty knows the destiny.

The 41-year-old His Majesty is in good spirits. Compared with when they first met 16 years ago, his brows and eyes are still handsome, with a few more shallow fine lines at the corners of his eyes, but his eyes are deeper.

He smiled convincingly, and the empress's little heart was thumping.

Really... They are old couples, why can't they hold on!
She spurned herself secretly in her heart, but she was a little ashamed on her face:

"I told you to go and rest, so hurry up, why are there so many nonsense!"

The expression on His Majesty's face suddenly became aggrieved: "Look, in the whole world, only your empress dares to treat me like this."

The palace people all lowered their heads, holding back their smiles.

They are already used to showing affection to His Majesty and Empress every day.

At this moment, the Empress Empress' embarrassment almost turned into real annoyance: "Go, go, go! Hurry up! I'm a shrew and a jealous tigress, okay!"

This is the evaluation given to her by those sour scholars among the people.

"Nonsense, my queen is a woman with a beautiful eyebrow, her virtue is everywhere, her mother is beautiful in the world, and everyone in the world praises her. Don't listen to those sour words."

His Majesty's words are not false. In recent years, not only official schools have flourished, but also women's schools have been established among the people.

They were all funded and run by the Queen and Princess Xihe, imitating the women's school of the Chen family.

All the sons and daughters of the emperor were grateful, and there were many praises among scholars, but no one commented on the queen's background and conduct.

There are only a few sour Confucians who boast that Wenquxing is alive, but cherish themselves with a broom, watch the sky from the well, and fail the imperial examinations repeatedly, so they can only hold her to "dominate the harem".
