Yiman looked at the memorial in his hand and frowned, "The disaster in Zhunzhou has not yet passed, and the Ministry of Industry and Zongzheng Temple are fighting again."

Zhou Yu put down the book in his hand, stood up and walked to Yiman's side, "But what about the Shanze Tax?"

"how do you know?"

"Today Zongzheng Temple caused trouble in front of His Majesty, and I happened to be on the side."

Yiman sighed deeply, "The Ministry of Industry wants to increase the Shanze tax next year, but Zongzheng Temple came out to oppose it. It seems to be an issue with the Shanze tax, but in fact it is an issue with the division of the mountain sites."

Zhou Yu nodded, "Due to the disaster in Zhunzhou, the Ministry of Industry wants to requisition those mountains to build rivers and canals. This is something that will benefit the country and the people."

Yiman leaned on the back of his chair, "But those mountains are the fiefdom of the old emperor Bai, and his residence is not far away, so Zongzheng Temple naturally doesn't want to. Zongzheng Temple also has a relationship with the Ministry of Rites By the way, Mr. Zheng from the Ministry of Etiquette got in touch with me last time because of the Shu Ziyu incident, so he came to ask me what I meant."

Zhou Yu touched Yiman's hair, "What are you going to do about this matter?"

"If it's for the people's livelihood, I would naturally want to ask the old emperor to give in. But Mr. Zheng's face and the old emperor's prestige in the clan have to be taken into consideration."

Zhou Yu chuckled lightly and glared at him, "Are you still laughing at me?"

Zhou Yu hugged Yiman, "Then you don't care."

Yiman sighed, "The fold was not sent to Zhongshu but was sent to me. It was clearly the intention of Mr. Zheng and the old emperor. The Ministry of Industry must also be keeping an eye on it. I can't escape if I want to. But - I do I really want to see how Zhongshu Zaifu will handle this matter."

"The Thirteenth Emperor's Brother."

The Thirteenth Prince Bai Cheyuan turned his head suddenly like a frightened rabbit.

Yiman stood under the wall next to the flower stand, looking at him with his arms folded.

Bai Cheyuan glanced around, walked over quickly and saluted, "Sister, First Emperor, have you entered the palace?"

Yiman had a gentle smile in his eyes, but in his heart he was thinking that Lu Bo had arranged too many people, which would scare the honest child into a little white rabbit.

"Yes, I entered the palace quietly. After all, there are too many people staring at me in the palace, so it's not safe."

Bai Cheyuan lowered his head as if he understood, and took a peek at Yiman.

"Did the eldest royal sister come into the palace to see my younger brother?"

Yiman nodded, "I haven't seen you since you entered Si Zhong Palace, so I came to take a look."

Bai Cheyuan nodded and stood with a timid look.

Yiman looked at her for a while, then said with a smile, "You don't have to be afraid. From now on, you will be the legitimate son of the palace, which is different from before."

"Yes, thank you, eldest sister."

"When I entered the palace today, I happened to see the old emperor coming out of Yanying Palace, mumbling. Do you know what happened?"

Bai Cheyuan immediately raised his hand and replied, "As I know, my father has arranged for me to follow Mr. Zuo. I heard that the emperor is doing this because of the fiefdom issue."

Yiman sighed, "Speaking of it, the old emperor has worked hard in his life and made great achievements. It is really hard to have to fight with the Ministry of Work over the fiefdom that is his own when he is old."

Bai Cheyuan glanced at Yiman's face, then quickly lowered his head, "That's what the eldest sister said."

With a smile in his eyes, "Imperial brother, what do you think you would do if you were His Majesty?"

"My brother dare not."

Yiman smiled and said, "It's just a joke. I'm just curious. How would you deal with it?"

"I don't know, my brother, what the eldest sister will do?"

Yiman thought for a while, "The old prince has worked hard all his life and made great achievements. He is also an old clan member of the clan, and he is also our relative. Alas."

Bai Cheyuan raised his head and looked at Yiman timidly, "Is the eldest sister more interested in the emperor?"

Yiman thought for a moment and nodded, "Probably, it's getting late. Now that I've seen you, I should leave the palace."

"Isn't the eldest princess going to pay homage to the queen mother?" Bai Cheyuan raised his head again, but there was no one in front of him.

Behind the wall of flower shelves, Yiman's mouth was covered and dragged to the other side of the wall.

Yiman stared at Zhou Yu who suddenly enlarged his eyes, and pulled Zhou Yu's wrist, "Why are you here?"

Zhou Yu pecked Yi Man's lips, "I heard from my subordinates that you entered the palace, and I thought you came to see me."

Zhou Yu usually restrains himself and returns to his courtesy, so why would he take the initiative to kiss her today?
Yiman touched Zhou Yu's forehead and asked tentatively: "Are you okay? Are you poisoned?"

Zhou Yu had a smile on his lips and pecked the corner of Yi Man's lips.

Yiman sniffed Zhou Yu's collar in confusion. Some time ago, Zhou Yu helped her prepare medicinal materials to replenish her body. In addition, he often stayed with her, and his body was also stained with the smell of medicine. Could this person be fake?

Yiman stretched out his hand to touch Zhou Yu's waist and abdomen, touched the hilt of the soft sword, and stared at Zhou Yu doubtfully, was he right?
Zhou Yu slowly closed the arms holding Yiman, and rubbed the tip of his nose and lips against Yiman's neck, "It's not poisoned."

Yiman was about to ask, when he was suddenly hugged tightly and unable to make a sound.

When he arrived at the door of the house, Yiman touched his slightly swollen lips and quickly put down his hand.

"Princess, you are finally back."

Lu Bo came out dumbfounded.

"what happened?"

Lu Bo glanced into the house and lowered his voice, "Princess, the Cui family, the Xie family, and the Fu family have sent you some waiters. The servants and Sister Hanzhi really can't stop them. They are in the guest house in the front yard right now."

Yiman subconsciously asked, "Male favorite?"

Lu Bo nodded hesitantly.

Yiman pursed her lips and finally understood why Zhou Yu suddenly acted abnormally.

Yiman cleared his throat, "Arrange the carriage and send it back as it is."

Lu Bo hesitated and said, "Princess, some of you are willing to do as you please, but some of you will not leave until you see you."

Yiman sighed, "How many are there in total?"

"The Cui family sent three, and the Xie family and the Fu family sent two each."

Yiman suddenly thought of Zhou Yu's abnormal strength, and suppressed the smile on his lips, "Let Bai Yi tie up the person and throw him back. Just say that there is a young master of the Zhou family, and I don't dare to show my dignity."

When Lu Bo was young, he often heard Uncle Wang next door say something similar to Aunt Wang, which seemed to be that there was a tigress in the house.Thinking of this, Lu Bo suddenly had to endure the hard work of laughing.

"Yes, the servant will go here."

When he walked into the flower hall, he saw Han Yan, who was lying by the small window of the flower hall listening to gossip, and rushed back to his seat to sit down.Seeing Yiman approaching, he quickly stood up and saluted.

"Princess."

Yiman glanced at Han Yan and said, "Has the Ministry of Punishment's case on the dispute over etiquette been revealed?"

"Yes, it's been dug out. The Ministry of Punishment has written it up and sent it to Zhongshu in order to clean up old cases."

Yiman responded, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

Han Yan raised her hands in admiration and said, "The eldest princess is really resourceful. When I left the palace, I happened to see Mr. Zuo entering the palace to go to the Chongwen Pavilion. I think the Thirteenth Prince must have mentioned this matter to Mr. Zuo at this time. First, openly. The above revealed the eldest princess's tendency, and then told Master Zuo through the mouth of the Thirteenth Prince. Later, he sorted out the unsolved case about the illegal occupation of land by the royal family members three years ago. Master Zuo will definitely see this leak. The eldest princess really kills two birds with one stone."

Yiman smiled slightly, "Oh, how can you kill two birds with one stone?"

"I pushed the affairs of the old emperor and the Ministry of Industry to Mr. Zuo, and also used the case of the Ministry of Punishment to distract the attention of the Ministry of Rites. This made Mr. Zuo preconceptions and prejudiced against the royal family's land occupation. There is also Yidiao-hehe, Wei Chen just guessed that the eldest princess was killing two birds with one stone, but he didn't come up with another one."

Yiman smiled and shook his head slightly, "You are so naughty, and I won't kill you just because you guess your intentions. Why are you so afraid?" (End of Chapter)
