Jiang Shaohua wrote a letter?

Queen Mother Zheng was a little surprised and reached out to receive the thick envelope.

Zheng Chen also moved his eyes, staring closely at the letter.

However, Empress Dowager Zheng had no intention of opening the letter in person. Instead, she told her: "Now that you are well, go to the study and study!"

Zheng Chen had no choice but to agree and leave. Before leaving, he couldn't help but look at the envelope again. His eyes seemed to penetrate the envelope and see clearly the figure that was deeply imprinted in his heart.

Zheng Chen entered the study room with extremely complicated emotions.

The prince stood up with joy on his face and greeted him: "Zixian, you are doing well. We have been very worried these days."

Jiang Yi rushed to laugh and said: "Isn't it true? Boyuan could eat three bowls in one meal, but he has been worried these days and his appetite has been reduced by 30%."

Li Boyuan grinned happily.

Wang Jin smiled happily and said: "Tonight, I will be the host and ask someone to book the best table at Dingxiang Tower to celebrate that Zixian is safe and sound."

The thirteen-year-old Fourth Young Master Wang has eyes as clear as the bright moon and bright stars. He has a smile on his face and is as gentle as jade, giving him the air of a handsome young man.

Zheng Chen looked at Wang Jin steadily for a moment.

Wang Jin was confused and joked with a smile: "I haven't seen you for eight or nine days. Why do you think so of me? Could it be that I have horns on my head or an extra pair of eyes on my face?"

Everyone was amused and laughed.

Zheng Chen took a deep look at Wang Jin and also laughed: "I just suddenly realized that you are very handsome and good-looking. I was jealous for a while and couldn't help but take another look."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone burst into laughter again.

Wang Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and took a sip at Zheng Chen.

Men and women are compared with each other in terms of their literary and military talents, as well as their talent, learning and courage. It’s not a girl’s family, so what’s the point of comparison?

Besides, even if it was a face-to-face comparison, who would dare to boast about his beauty in front of the incomparably handsome Young Master Zheng?

Zheng Chen slowly took a deep breath and spit it out slowly. Thousands of thoughts were suppressed in my heart: "I haven't been here for a few days. What did the master teach these days? You guys should tell me quickly."

The prince's education was mediocre, and Li Boyuan had a smart face, but in fact he was a loser. As for Jiang Yi, he was playful when he was young, and he was about the same level as Li Boyuan in his studies.

The important task of explaining Zheng Chen's schoolwork naturally fell on the fourth young master Wang, who was outstanding in talent and learning.

Wang Jin spoke patiently and carefully.

Zheng Chen listened and suddenly felt a little dazed.

Is everything in front of me real or a dream?

Or was everything he had experienced just a heart-wrenching dream?

Shaohua, have you returned to your youth like Zhuang Sheng's dream butterfly?

……

In Jingyang Palace.

After Zheng Chen left, Queen Mother Zheng opened the envelope and read it casually. After reading only half a page, Queen Mother Zheng sat up straight, the smile on her face disappeared, and her eyes were fixed on the letter.

Eunuch Zhao, who was standing aside, quietly looked at Queen Mother Zheng's face and pondered in his heart.

What happened in Nanyang County?

The princess wrote a letter. Could it be that she has changed her mind and wants to enter the palace? Or do you have something to ask the Queen Mother for support?

No matter what I took advantage of the princess, I should say a few words for the princess.

Seeing Empress Dowager Zheng finish reading this long letter with a gloomy face, Eunuch Zhao hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea and sent it to the Empress Dowager. Empress Dowager Zheng glared impatiently: "How can the Ai family be interested in drinking tea?"

Eunuch Zhao flattered the horse and slapped him on the leg. He immediately put the hot tea aside, raised his hand to slap himself, and opened his mouth to apologize.

Empress Dowager Zheng was visibly upset, and said with a sullen face: "You all should step aside, the Ai family needs to be alone for a while."

Eunuch Zhao did not dare to say any more and led the palace attendants out.

Queen Mother Zheng sat on the chair for a long time, her expression changing. Then, she slowly picked up the letter and read it over and over again.

Just as Eunuch Zhao expected, this letter was asking for support from her, the Queen Mother.

The whole story is not complicated either. It can be explained clearly in a few sentences. The things Zuo Zhen did in the Nanyang Army, if verified to be true, would be enough to get rid of his official position. Jiang Shaohua was the princess of Nanyang County, so he punished one or two people. It didn't hurt his life, so it was not a big deal.

What really hurt her eyes and heart were these paragraphs in Jiang Shaohua's letter.

"...Zuo Zhen relied on Prime Minister Wang's loyal dog and did not take me as the princess seriously. He claimed to have Prime Minister Wang's protection, but no one could do anything to him. Even when I carried out the Queen Mother and the Emperor, he was not afraid at all. ."

"With such arrogance and arrogance as a lackey, it is really hard to think about how powerful Prime Minister Wang is in the court."

"Zuo Zhen will definitely write to Prime Minister Wang for support if he suffers a loss at my hands. I, the Princess of Daliang, mean nothing in the eyes of Prime Minister Wang. I have no choice but to shamelessly beg the Queen Mother for protection."

"I know that this matter will embarrass the Queen Mother. Prime Minister Wang is an important minister of the two dynasties and the head of hundreds of officials. Most of the princes in the court are members of Prime Minister Wang's party. If he wants to deal with me, there is no need to come forward himself. The Queen Mother is afraid, It’s inevitable.”

"Even if the empress refuses to protect me, I will never hold any grudges. I am only worried that if things continue like this, one will ebb and flow, and the ministers will deceive the emperor. The ministers do not take the royal family seriously, and the people only know that there is Prime Minister Wang, and do not know The Emperor and the Queen Mother..."

Snapped!

Empress Dowager Zheng couldn't help but take a few photos of the cases.

In anger, he exerted too much force, and his palm suddenly turned red.

Empress Dowager Zheng took a breath and became more and more angry: "Prime Minister Wang! Huh! The Ai family wants to see if the Ai family can protect a Jiang family princess!"

"Zhao Chunming! Come in."

Eunuch Zhao rolled in quickly: "My servant is here!"

Empress Dowager Zheng stood up, stretched out her hand and pointed: "Go and invite the emperor to come to Jingyang Palace. Tell us that the Ai family has important matters to discuss."

Eunuch Zhao left in response, and after lighting the incense, he came back with an embarrassed look on his face: "To report to the Queen Mother, the emperor has summoned Prime Minister Wang to discuss matters. The eunuch guarding the door did not dare to pass the message, saying that he could only go in to report after the discussion was over."

Empress Dowager Zheng sneered: "Prime Minister Wang is so majestic! Even the Emperor's chamberlain would look at his expression! If the Empress Dowager of the Ai family wants to see the Emperor, she has to queue up behind him!"

What Empress Dowager Zheng said was a bit unreasonable.

Actually, it was Prime Minister Wang who entered the Showa Hall first. Prime Minister Wang didn't know that the Queen Mother suddenly wanted to see the Emperor.

However, the angry Queen Mother Zheng didn't think so.

Eunuch Zhao took the opportunity to follow Gong Huo: "Isn't that right? Prime Minister Wang is so powerful that when he walks in the palace, everyone is vying to please him. This servant, the eunuch in charge of Jingyang Palace, went to the Zhaohe Palace and was not as prestigious as Prime Minister Wang's entourage. "

Empress Dowager Zheng sneered again: "Go to the Ai family in person to see who dares to stop the Ai family."

After saying that, he walked out of Jingyang Palace with great energy.

Eunuch Zhao and other palace attendants accompanied Empress Dowager Zheng to the Zhaohe Hall. (End of chapter)
