I was gossiping with Madam Xing and Madam Lu when I saw Yi Shu who had gone to look for Lu Zhen and Xing Min came back.

I thought that the two children Lu Zhen and Xing Min would come back with Yi Shu, so that the two children could meet their mother.

But Yishu hurried in, approached and whispered in my ear: "Princess, the two young masters refused to come back if they didn't catch the crickets. The servants have already ordered people to watch."

"Won't come back?" I was a little surprised.

Yi Shu nodded: "Yes, the two young masters said that His Majesty wants them to catch crickets, and if they can't catch them, they won't come back."

I was a little helpless, one was stubborn, and the other was too persistent and loyal. With the three children together, I don't know what the future will be like.

But at the same time, I am also very pleased with Xing Min and Lu Zhen's loyalty to Xizhi's order.

In the end, I asked Yishu to bring Xizhi to find Xing Min and Lu Zhen in person.

There is a small piece of woodland behind Beiyuan, which is for the princess's mansion to cultivate flowers and soil on the branches.

In order to catch crickets for Xizhi, the two children somehow went in.But Xizhi went to find the two of them in person and came back.

It is conceivable that when the three children came back, they were all covered in mud.

Xizhi has a small body, and his steps are still a little staggering, and Yishu supports him from behind to cross the threshold of Zhaoxia Palace.He ran towards me with a laugh, giggling: "Mother."

Lu Zhen and Xing Min then went in, their robes and shoes were covered in mud like Xi Zhi.

I couldn't help laughing at the appearance of the three of them.

I have always been unconstrained to cherish it, and play around with him.

But Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Xing were surprised when they saw Xizhi and his child covered in mud.

After being surprised, they each pulled their own children. Mrs. Lu said with a cold face: "What are you doing? How can you be so nonsense. You are still tired, and the corners of your clothes are dirty."

Mrs. Xing also pulled Xing Min and said in a solemn voice: "Look at the good deeds you have done. The princess loves you to be the companion of His Royal Highness. Why did you get covered in mud? You must not spoil His Royal Highness."

Xizhi was giggling next to me, turned around and saw Lu Zhen and Xing Min being lectured by his mother, and looked at me with some puzzlement

: "Mother, why did their mothers talk about them?"

I rubbed Xizhi's fluffy hair, and said to him warmly: "Because Xing Min and Lu Zhen's mother think they have done something wrong."

"What wrong did they do?" Xizhi asked me still incomprehensible.

I smiled at her and said, "Because Xizhi let the two of them go catch crickets, and they came back covered in mud. Their mother didn't know what was going on and thought they were just playing for fun."

Xizhi listened to what I said with her little face up, and fell silent, thinking for a moment like an adult.

Then he climbed down from my lap, stood in the middle and said to Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Xing: "You two ladies, don't reprimand them anymore. It was my son who ordered them to go catch crickets, so he made them both." He came back covered in mud, so the two of them were not at fault, and the two wives should not ask questions."

Xi Zhi's voice was childish, but the words he spoke were loud and resounding, resembling his father's intimidating style.

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Lu did not dare to blame any more after hearing Xizhi's words, they just laughed and said: "Since His Royal Highness ordered them to do it, it should be done."

In the Yilan Pavilion, the lake water is rippling, and a gust of breeze passes by, blowing the gauze curtains and swinging with the wind, making the people in the pavilion a little like a dream.

A small stove was burning on the stone table, and a pot of clear water was gurgling and steaming.

Holding the cup in my hand, I looked at the figure of Fusheng walking quickly in the distance.

Fusheng approached, and Yijing raised the gauze curtain for him.

"But what's the matter?" I looked at Fusheng and asked.

Fusheng nodded: "Lord Lu Xinlu has been demoted from his official position."

I was not surprised to hear the news Fu Sheng said, Lu Xin was originally from the Lu family, but for some reason he refused to go with Lu Mingdao all the way.Now I am even on the side of me who has always been against the Lu family against the Princess Mansion. How could a person like Lu Mingdao spare him.

"How? Tell me." I was not worried, and asked with a light smile.

Fusheng has always been cautious in handling things, and the investigation of things is also meticulous.

He nodded and said: "This morning, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites read a copy of Mr. Lu, and he said that Mr. Lu...well, the family tradition is not right." Fu Sheng said with reservations, there must be some unspeakable things in it, I didn't ask, left and right were just an excuse, without this excuse, there would be other excuses.

Fu Sheng paused for a moment and then continued: "Zai Lu was quite righteous and stern, saying that the Lu family should not have anyone who corrupts the family style, so he united with several courtiers of the Lu family to make a petition, begging His Majesty to remove Mr. Lu from his official position..."

Hearing this, I couldn't help laughing softly, thinking of Lu Mingdao's "righteous and strict speech" in the posture of uniting all the officials in the court, it was a little funny.

Hearing my laughter, Fusheng looked up at me.

And Yijing even smiled and said: "Your servant is stupid, why didn't you hear what is so funny in it, why don't the princess tell the servant, so that we can laugh along with you."

I slowly put down the cup in my hand, got up and walked to the railing, watching the golden and red koi swimming wantonly in the lake.

Grab a handful of fish food from the side and throw it into the lake, which immediately attracts the koi in the lake to gather in one place and compete for food.

I watched the koi vying for the bait, and smiled at Yijing and Fusheng, "Look at these fish, they are fighting each other for such a bite."

Yijing followed my gaze and looked towards the lake.The water splashed by the koi splashed, and she suddenly clapped her hands and smiled: "The princess is saying that Mr. Lu is the bait for today, and the people who besieged the impeachment are the fish that are crazily fighting for the bait."

I glanced lightly, and smiled without saying a word.

But Fusheng, who was standing next to me, suddenly said: "Even if we fight to the end, we cannot escape the fate of being caught and killed by fishermen."

After listening to Fu Sheng's words, I turned to look at him, and he was looking at the carp in the lake.

Yijing asked: "Princess, we just want to be that fisherman, right?"

I didn't answer Yijing immediately, but looked at Fusheng and asked, "What do you think?"

Fusheng turned his eyes to me, his thin and deep eyes were calm and unwavering: "It's good to be a fisherman, but it's the best strategy to be a fish eater."

I smiled and looked at it, then grabbed another handful of fish food and sprinkled it into the lake.

"Since we want to eat fish, we must raise fatter ones."

Lu Mingdao and others invited Lu Xin to leave his official position, but after all, a bad family style is not a heinous crime, but if he is not punished, it will be unjustifiable.

When her uncle was in a dilemma, Hua Wuyan suggested that he should only be demoted from office and punished slightly.
