The apex pet of the sick lady

Chapter 163 Gentle and Merry Regent VS Puppet Little Emperor (2)

Xiang Chen was stunned for a moment, his face was calm, he nodded slightly, then turned his head and walked away.

When he came to the door of the imperial study, he stopped.

"The Regent, let's go in first."

Fable smiled, passed by him, and walked into the imperial study, the eunuch inside the door came out and closed the door.

Under Xiang Chen's indifferent expression, those eyes were in a trance for a moment.

The tip of the nose seemed to still be lingering with the light fragrance of the man when he passed by him.

"The Queen Mother."

On the Dragon Chair in the Imperial Study Room, where the Ninth Five-Year Lord should have been sitting, Wei Zi was sitting at this moment. She was holding a pen in her hand, and there was a pile of memorials in front of her. The demeanor of a hero.

Wei Zi heard the man's warm and jade-like voice, her eyes darkened slightly, her face remained calm, she finished processing a memorial, put down her pen, and then looked up at Fable.

She smiled slightly: "The Regent."

Fable stood in front of the table, casually and gracefully, "Why is the queen mother calling me here?"

Almost every morning after the court, the queen mother would call the regent to the imperial study alone, most of the time there was nothing important.

He will casually mention two trivial matters, keep the person for a while, and then let him go.

Wei Zi picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, said unhurriedly: "As for the matter in the court, Aijia will ask the Regent again, what's your opinion, Your Majesty is in power?"

"No, but it's up to the Queen Mother to decide."

Wei Zi listened to his calm tone, a gloomy and dark color flashed across her eyes, she raised her eyes, looked at his gentle and gentle face, her expression became gentle again, she said something paradoxical: "I hope that the prince's words come from the heart."

Then he picked up a memorial and pushed it over, "Let's take a look at this memorial, the Huainan flood, does the prince have any recommended candidates for disaster relief?"

Fable took the memorial, browsed it roughly, and put it down.

He looked thoughtful for a moment.

Give the answer.

"In my opinion, the border is peaceful now, and it is quite appropriate for General Wei to be at home with nothing to do."

Wei Zi's eyes suddenly sank, "Is the lord dissatisfied with Ai's family?"

Fable looked innocent, "What do you mean?"

"General Wei is the only elder brother of the Ai family. There are rampant mobs in Huainan, and the elder brother just came back from the border a few days ago, and his old wounds have not healed. What is the meaning of the prince asking the elder brother of the Ai family to help the disaster?"

The fable is as good as it is good, "Don't get angry, Queen Mother, then I don't know who will be the one to relieve the disaster. You can decide for yourself."

Wei Zi: ...

The regent usually doesn't show his dew, but always spends a lot of time, keeping himself out of the matter, and never contaminates the big dye tank of the court.

It is rumored that the regent loves two things, seeks out flowers and asks willows, and enjoys good food and wine.

The origin of the regent is also a mystery. It is said that he is the younger brother recognized by the people in private visits by the late emperor.

The regent is nearly thirty years old. He has sat in this position for more than ten years and has done nothing. In everyone's impression, he is an idle prince who does not contend with the world, is indifferent to fame and fortune, and only loves to have fun.

But if it's just an idle prince.

After the former emperor passed away, the queen mother used all her strength to push the current majesty to this position, which was obtained from fighting among many princes.

At that time, the situation in the imperial palace was treacherous, and there were constant intrigues and tricks, but the regent remained motionless in the whirlpool.

Now that the queen mother is in power, she wants to take back some of the power that the former emperor gave to the regent, but has never been successful.

Even after the empress dowager was driven into a hurry, she repeatedly sent people to assassinate the regent to no avail.

No one can see through the depth of the regent, and he is definitely not the cynical look on the surface.

Wei Zi looked at Fable with puzzled eyes, and was silent for a long time.

Fable didn't seem to feel it, and looked at the sky outside, "Does the queen mother have other things? If not, the king is going to Zuimeng Street."

Wei Zi looked away, picked up the pen, and continued to process the memorial, "Let's go back."

Fable turned and left.

When he walked to the door, Wei Zi said lightly, "Regent, pay attention to your health, Zuimeng Street is not a good place."

Fable turned around and smiled, his tender and affectionate eyes were fascinating, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern."

"..." Seeing the person leave, Wei Zi slightly pursed her dry lips.

After calming down her heartbeat, she said coldly, "Let Your Majesty come in."

The eunuch went out to call for someone.

Outside the door, Xiang Chen watched Fable's back gradually drifting away, a thoughtful flash of thought flashed in his eyes.

At present, the only one who can compete with Wei Zi in the court is the regent.

For some reason, he always felt that the Prince Regent, who didn't attract his attention before, was a little different recently.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother let you in."

Xiang Chen came back to his senses, his expression was indifferent, and he walked in calmly.
-
some time later.

Xiangchen didn't know why, but he always paid more attention to the regent in the court hall.

I can't help but look at him more, with a calculating glint in my eyes.

The regent gave him a really different feeling from before, and he became more active.

In the past few days, the court was still arguing about Xiang Chen's ability to take power completely.

There has been no discussion about why.

At the same time, the candidates for disaster relief have not yet been decided.

Once again, Yan Zhe was speechless under the blows and swords of those civil servants, which was horrible.

He looked up at Xiang Chen, his eyes full of grievance and helplessness.

Xiang Chen looked away, not wanting to admit that he knew this idiot.

He doesn't have much freedom in the palace, and he has no way to contact Yan Zhe these days, nor can he tell him not to do useless work in the court.

Wei Zi was also tired of the grandson of the Grand Tutor's family, and said in a cold voice, "The Ai family is also afraid that people will say that I am the rooster in the morning, usurping power and messing up the government. If your majesty wants to take power, it's okay. The flood in Huai'an, your majesty will come in person, and it will be resolved at this time. Aijia handed over the jade seal to His Majesty."

As soon as these words came out, Yan Zhe was shocked, brushed off his clothes and knelt down, "Queen Dowager, absolutely not! Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Sovereign, and the mobs in Huai'an are rampant. You must not disregard your Majesty's safety."

Several ministers who remained neutral also knelt down.

Several ministers from the Wei Zi Party also came out and asked the Queen Mother to take back her order. They were mainly thinking that they were afraid that if something happened to His Majesty outside, it would be detrimental to the Queen Mother's reputation.

The regent, who was sleeping in the court hall every day, also opened his eyes. There was a stream of light in his warm eyes, and the slightly curved corners of his lips gave people a feeling of spring breeze.

Wei Zi noticed him waking up right away, but she still wanted to ask him, "They don't agree, what does the Regent say?"

Xiang Chen also looked at him, pursing the corners of his lips slightly.

Everyone is unwilling to go to Huai'an to clean up the mess. I heard that there is a lot of chaos there now, and several county magistrates have already been killed.

If the pampered person heard that he was going to Huai'an, he would show some panic to some extent.

But this majesty is still calm, which is why those neutral factions have never been biased towards Wei Zi. They want to see if this majesty can become a real Ninth Five-Year Master.
