Lonely non-good minister

After Mrs. Lin was imprisoned, all the affairs of the East Palace were taken care of by the old nanny appointed by Song Chun. Because of the incident with the two maids, when Xiao Shen came over, the atmosphere in the East Palace was still very depressed. The maids They must have been reprimanded by their respective nuns, so they walked with their heads down one by one, looking cautious.

When Xiao Shen passed by the courtyard, there were still two servants kneeling on the green brick floor, carefully digging at the gaps. The water flowing on the ground was still a faint blood color. Xiao Shen and Chun Yang looked at each other and walked away in silence. Pass.

Empress Shen always had a charitable face and rarely used such cruel methods. This time she beat two maids to death. It can be seen that what Li Guifei did touched her bottom line. Even if she touched the bottom line, the means of revenge would not be used. It was as simple as beating two maids to death.

Arriving in front of Song Chun's study, the guards guarding the door immediately ran towards him: "See Concubine Shen."

"Prince, are you still busy?" Little Shen smiled. She was always gentle and warm to others, and for this reason, the servants in the palace always respected her.

When she asked this question, the guard immediately smiled and said, "The prince is still discussing political affairs with several adults. Please go to the flower hall next door to wait for a while."

"Okay." Little Shen followed the guards and asked casually: "Why did such a thing happen to such a good person? This is not the time to recruit palace members, so why do you let a stranger sneak in?"

Hearing her ask about this matter, the guard's face suddenly fell: "I don't know, my Majesty, those two are strangers. They came in the last time when the palace was hired, and they have been doing this for several months." They are old people, who would have thought that they would be possessed by ghosts, sneaking into the prince's room in disheveled clothes at night, but the prince was busy with something, so he caught up with Mother Wang who came to deliver things to the prince."

Little Shen was very surprised. She had entered the East Palace a few months ago. Concubine Li's movements were faster than she expected. No wonder Empress Shen was so angry. If Concubine Li had not been misled by her, I'm afraid she would have sent her away. The chess pieces that entered the East Palace were not exposed so quickly.

Arriving at the flower hall, Chunyang waited for the waiter who was serving Song Chun to come over. Then he opened the food box and checked them one by one before putting them out. Little Shen sat aside and took a sip of tea before asking: "These days,... How is the prince's appetite?"

The chamberlain hurriedly came over and replied with a smile: "To tell you the truth, the prince's appetite has been good recently. The prince likes all the dishes and snacks sent from the palace. I have been serving the prince for so long, but I have never seen the prince eat any snacks. , only the ones sent by the empress, the prince wanted to try, and the soup that nourishes the spleen and stomach is also very good. The prince always thinks that the soup sent from the kitchen is fancy and greasy, so he doesn't like to drink it, but I’m full of praise for the soup in the Empress’ Palace.”

"It's fine that the Crown Prince likes it. In this case, I don't have to live up to the Queen's instructions." Little Shen caught a glimpse of a few figures flashing outside the window, and immediately guessed that Song Chun had finished the discussion, and continued: "You guys are nearby When you serve, you must be more careful. Even if the prince likes it, you must be careful not to be greedy. Eat small meals often, which is the way to maintain health."

The chamberlain hurriedly responded, and when he turned his head, he saw Song Chun walking in. He obviously heard what Xiao Shen said, and walked to wash his hands after entering. Xiao Shen did not get up to greet him, and both of them deliberately blurred the etiquette.

"Your Majesty, you can tell me these things directly."

Little Mrs. Shen picked up the tea cup, and the tiny rays of sunlight hit her face. The hot steam from the tea rose. She blew it gently and said in a normal tone: "The prince is busy with things. I'm afraid that if I tell him, he won't be able to remember." live."

Song Chun turned to look at her and sat down without answering. He glanced at the food on the table and signaled the waiter to serve the dishes. He had been busy all morning and was already hungry.

"Do you still have abdominal pain recently?" Xiao Shen asked with concern.Song Chun nodded: "There are still some."

"Then you should drink less tea, and you should not catch the cold. The weather is getting colder now. When you rest at night, it is best to hold a Yuboshi in your arms to keep you warm."

Song Chun looked at her: "No wonder Yuan'er always likes to hug Mrs. Tang when she sleeps. It turns out it was my empress who taught her."

"Isn't the teaching good?" Xiao Shen asked back.

With these simple words, Song Chun could hear the smell of coquettishness. He obviously paused in picking up the vegetables, but he quickly responded in a cheerful mood: "Good teaching, good teaching. Yuan'er is weak. It should be carefully maintained.”

"I'm in the palace and can't hear news from outside. I haven't received a letter from Ayuan for a long time. I don't know what the child is busy with recently. The wedding is about to happen, and I haven't heard any news about her return."

Song Chun paused for a while with his chopsticks: "There are still more than three months before the wedding, and now it is the autumn harvest season, so he is very busy."

"Yes, it's the autumn harvest season again." Xiao Shen looked at the changed leaves outside the window, her mood obviously depressed: "If I had known that she would have to suffer from the cold and farming in the northwest, she would have Don’t force her to get up early, stay up late, study hard, and practice hard. A good descendant of the royal family should endure this kind of hardship.”

She felt sorry for Song Yuan's hardship, and Song Chun couldn't bear to watch from the sidelines. The northwest was bitterly cold, and it was even more difficult to manage that land well. Poverty was a test of human nature. In the past, reports of war-related disasters were reported every year in the northwest. The numbers of people who starve to death due to natural disasters are shocking every year.

Only after Song Yuan left, the number of people who starved to death decreased year by year. Not only were there fewer people who died of starvation, but the backwater in the northwest that had been tortured by war and poverty was also revitalized. She had many ideas, implemented them quickly and was willing to take responsibility. She has given many officials the confidence to do so. Based on her political achievements, she should have been promoted long ago.

But Song Chun has selfish motives. He knows very well that with Song Yuan's ability, she will do well no matter where she goes to do civil affairs. Even if she leaves this poor place in the northwest, she can do better, just like in Leping, she can do it in one year. Let everyone see the results instead of having to wait years like now.

But if the northwest leaves Song Yuan, it will definitely fall into a state of stagnant water. As an elder brother, he hopes that Song Yuan can be knighted as soon as possible based on his political achievements. But as a prince, he hopes that the people under his rule can live a better life. It was better, so he could only keep Song Yuan in the northwest and kept reminding himself that being able to make political achievements in the northwest would be the greatest proof of Song Yuan's ability.

But it was impossible for him to tell Xiao Shen these words. Hearing that she felt sorry for Song Yuan, he could only remain silent.

After eating, Song Chun moved over and sat across from Xiao Shen. Seeing that she was still depressed, he said, "When Yuan'er comes back for the wedding, I can keep him here for a while longer."

"How dare you do this?" Xiao Shen smiled helplessly: "These are all fixed, how can we make exceptions casually? It's not peaceful now, so it's more reassuring to follow the rules."
