Power ministers always make things difficult for me

"Stop teasing me. Although the palace is indeed decent, you know that I will not stay in the imperial capital for a long time."

Now that the imperial brother has succeeded to the throne, it is time for him to return to Jade Face Villa, but...

He also wanted to see Rongli again.

Pei Qi nodded clearly and followed Jiang Lingfeng inside: "I should go to Jinjiang in a few days, just waiting for His Majesty's nod."

"Dealing with the dam problem?" Jiang Lingfeng had heard a little bit about this matter: "However, if you, a national master, travel so far, what if something goes wrong in the capital?"

"Rong Qin's side is not easy to deal with."

Without Pei Qi to persevere with him, Jiang Lingfeng always had a bad feeling.

In contrast, Pei Qi seemed much more relaxed: "Don't worry, now that the crown prince has ascended the throne, even if Rong Qin has extraordinary abilities, he would not dare to be presumptuous in front of His Majesty."

"Besides, that's the person I taught."

As an emperor, you have to experience something to grow.

Sitting on that dragon chair and enjoying the scenery, you will face countless conspiracies and conspiracies.

Sooner or later he had to learn to face these things.

After seeing her fearless look, Jiang Lingfeng entered the main hall and found a seat at random.

"But don't forget, something like the regent, who divides the power of the dynasty, has not appeared in Dasheng for a long time."

Pei Qi paused as he was about to sit down.

I almost forgot about this.

Rong Qin took advantage of Jiang Fengchuan's meritorious service in supervising the country and used his governmental and military power to force His Majesty to grant Jiang Fengchuan the position of regent.

She took every precaution, but he still let him take advantage of it.

Pei Qi took a breath and pretended to be calm: "After the death of the late emperor, Jiang Fengchuan has been firmly in the position of supervising the country. In addition, he has some military power in his hands. It is basically a certainty that he will be appointed regent."

Since we can't stop it, we can only block it with soldiers and cover it with water and earth.

The current ending is a good thing for her.

"Your Majesty, Miss Bai is here."

After the announcement, the maid led Bai Jinzhen into the main hall.

Pei Qi raised his head slightly. The woman in front of him was wearing a simple and elegant blue shirt with a slightly thick shawl. Her face was gentle and easy-going. Maybe she had stayed in the countryside for a long time in these years, and she already had more of a farmer's look. Mottled, but still unable to hide the dignity and nobility that penetrates his bones.

This is the former queen.

Pei Qi stood up and bowed respectfully in front of her: "I have seen Pei Qi..."

Half-bent down, Pei Qi was suddenly supported by a pair of bare hands. He raised his head and saw Bai Jinzhen looking at her with gentle eyes.

"I have been away from the palace for a long time, and I have long given up my identity as the emperor's wife. No matter who you are, there is no need to bow to me."

"On the contrary, I, a commoner's wife, should kneel down and worship when I see the imperial master."

Pei Qi was startled by her words of kneeling. He quickly grabbed her sleeves and said in a panic: "No matter what situation you are in, you are the wife of the late emperor. How can you, your majesty's mother, kneel down as a minister?"

Unexpectedly, she failed to support Bai Jinzhen's body and made her kneel down.

The next second, Pei Qi's knees went weak, and he knelt down with a plop, bending lower than her. His helpless voice reached Bai Jinzhen's ears: "Please don't embarrass me!"

Her life was already short enough, but now it was over, her life was really going to be shortened!

"puff……"

Jiang Lingfeng saw from a distance that the two of them were anxious about this matter, and laughed out loud in shame.

Some people are lawless in the court. Why did they fall into the hands of a woman today?

Seeing that he was still smiling, Pei Qi quickly turned around and winked at him.

Laugh at your sister, why don’t you think of a solution quickly!

"cough!"

After receiving Pei Qi's distress signal, Jiang Lingfeng kowtowed compassionately, walked over and pulled Bai Jinzhen up.

"There is no such thing as messy etiquette in Prince Xiaoyao's Mansion. Madam, get up quickly." Bai Jinzhen pursed his lips and glanced at Jiang Lingfeng. When he was pulling him up, he even gave Pei Qi a hand.

The slender wrists are soft and tight, not even like a man's.

But no man wants to be called weak, let alone a national master?

The words that came to his lips were swallowed back by Bai Jinzhen.

How could she, a commoner woman, offend the Imperial Master?

It’s better not to say anything.

Pei Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief after getting up. He didn't notice Bai Jinzhen's strange look and pulled her to sit down: "My queen, please sit down."

"Your Majesty the Imperial Master."

With this useful sentence, Pei Qi suddenly didn't know what to say next.

She retracted her hands into her sleeves and rubbed them nervously.

When she finally prepared herself mentally and was about to speak, Bai Jinzhen in front of her was one step ahead of her.

"The prince has told me that I know what the Imperial Master wants to ask."

She lowered her eyes, trying to hide Fengchen's disappointment: "After jumping off the cliff from Qiulan Villa, I was picked up by a kind-hearted farmer's family."

"The second elder found a good doctor in the city for me to help me breathe a sigh of relief, so I sold the old cow and moved it to the farmland, and I survived."

"When I woke up, in order to repay them, I recognized my two elders as my father and mother, until they died due to the epidemic in Qingmei Village..."

Speaking of this, Bai Jinzhen paused choked with tears, his eyes already filled with tears.

Needless to say what happened next, she was rescued by the people of Yumian Villa, and then brought back to the imperial capital by Jiang Lingfeng.

It's just that all this seems reasonable, and it may be mixed with Bai Jinzhen's hatred for the late emperor.

Pei Qi handed Bai Jinzhen a handkerchief and waited for her to calm down before slowly speaking.

"Your Majesty's choice to stay in Qingmei Village should not be just to repay the favor."

Bai Jinzhen was stunned for a moment, and then heard Pei Qi's next words.

"It's still to escape."

Because the late emperor chose the latter between her and the imperial power, she did not want to forgive the late emperor and lived abroad.

Bai Jinzhen opened his mouth and wanted to refute Pei Qi, but he couldn't find any reason and seemed to hesitate to speak.

When Pei Qi saw this, he felt that his guess was accurate.

So he continued: "My queen was gentle and virtuous at that time, and she was proficient in everything from music, music, and dance to music. In front of others, you were the chosen one that everyone marveled at, and you were something that could not be achieved."

"But in front of the late emperor, you always have the petty temper of a daughter."

"Perhaps it is this little temper that is causing trouble. You thought that the late emperor did not love you, so you stayed in Qingmei Village by yourself. You also avoided the people sent by the late emperor to find you."

Every word Pei Qi said pierced Bai Jinzhen's heart.

The grievances buried deep in my heart that no one had unearthed also exploded in an instant.

She buried her face in the veil, not daring to look at Pei Qi, but kept shaking her head.

Seeing this, Jiang Lingfeng quickly knocked on the table and interrupted Pei Qi.

Pei Qi frowned and looked over.

Of course she knew she shouldn't say this in front of Bai Jinzhen, but she just felt aggrieved for Jiang Mingcang.

As a mother, how could she abandon her biological son just because of a moment of willfulness!

Amid Bai Jinzhen's cries, she spoke regardless of her dignity.

"While the empress and the late emperor were angry, didn't they ever think about conceiving a son who was born in ten months of pregnancy?"

"not like this!"

When Bai Jinzhen heard this, he suddenly stood up, threw away the veil emotionally, and looked at Pei Qi sadly with his red eyes.

"After living in Qingmei Village for three months, I tried to return to the Imperial Capital, but..."

"But I can't even enter the gate of the imperial capital!"
