Chapter 36 – Nice Knife

Yun Qianyi immediately changed to a position that facilitated the telling of gossip and said, “There was nothing wrong with the eldest son of the Emperor originally being the Crown Prince. Eight years ago there was an enemy coming from the northwest, the commander-in-chief was sacrificed at the border, it was his daughter who bathed in blood in the sands to pick up the flagpole and continue to fight, the crown prince knew that, so he asked for the decree to lead the troops to march in person, and when he got there, the enemy repelled, and it turned out that he also had a love affair with this commander-in-chief’s daughter.

“The Crown Prince wanted to hire her as the Crown Princess, but the girl grew up on the frontier and lost her favorite father there, and she refused to come to the capital to enjoy any glory, but only wanted to hold fast there to carry on her late father’s wish to protect her family and defend the country.

“The Crown Prince was so touched that he gave up his throne and accompanied the girl to stay at the border, then gave up his throne to become the King of Qin.”

It was actually a love brain!

This was something Zhao Su hadn’t expected.

“Really?”

“It’s something that’s known throughout the country, can I still make up a story to trick the girl?”

Zhao Su marveled and then had some admiration.

Both respecting the fact that this girl could have such strong beliefs and lofty ambitions that she could even give up not being the Crown Princess, and also respecting the fact that the Crown Prince was able to respect her heart and had properly cherished this rare girl with practical actions.

-A plot with a traveling heroine in it, really anything is possible.

“What about the second prince? Why didn’t he become one again?”

“At that time, the Empress and Empress concentrated on cultivating the Crown Prince as a successor, so the Second Prince dived into doing his own thing, he opened a few stores and took pleasure in making profits, not thinking at all that he would have a day to inherit the throne.

“When the Crown Prince proposed to give up the throne, this master was pushing his sleeves to count coins in the palace! The empress dowager who went to ask for his opinion was so angry that she turned her head and left.

“Now I hear that he is growing mulberry and hemp in his fiefdom, and developing all kinds of silk to sell to the Westerners.”

“Falling into the eye of money?”

Yun Qianyi sighed.

Zhao Su said, “In that case, the current Emperor is actually picking up the basket?”

“That’s not true.” Yun want to Yi said, “I heard that today’s emperor looked quite cute as a child, so the late emperor liked him very much, often holding this youngest son on his lap to read the zhangzhi.

“I heard that originally intended to let him grow up to go to the town of Yunnan, the crown prince gave up the throne, the second prince and can not let go of all that money at hand, he was the late emperor according to the crown prince training.

“Frankly speaking, the crown prince is more warlike, guarding the border is more appropriate point. Today’s Emperor is introverted and serious, acting more steadily instead. Old courtiers in the court also praise it from time to time, especially Grandmaster Zhang, saying that the Emperor has gathered the benevolence of the late Emperor and the wisdom and determination of the Empress Dowager.”

“The praises of the courtiers are more or less a bit of bragging, don’t take them too seriously.” Zhao Su, who had mixed with the workplace and was currently still doing so, understood.

“Wrong.” Yun want to Yi just like an emperor fan, “the emperor ascended to the throne after the action proved Zhang Daoshi said is not false, this three years in the dynasty in fact, there are still a lot of undercurrents, but the emperor still resisted the pressure, first of all, reduced a large area of land in Jiangnan three years of taxes, so that the agricultural and mulberry harvests to fill up the treasury, even if later restored taxes, the people did not have much to complain about.

“And then in all parts of the additional repair post, improve the speed of the transmission of letters, especially military reports and folders.

“In addition, they also sent court officials or scholar to the capital to give lectures in remote states and counties, actively preparing for the future selection of talented people.

“I heard that not long ago the emperor also wanted to increase the production of firearms on the basis of the Shen Ji Battalion to consolidate the border defense, so recently frequently summoned the generals of the Shen Ji Battalion.”

“So bullish?”

No wonder he dared to go against his own mother.

Zhao Su spat in his heart.

After thinking for a moment, she recalled Empress Dowager Lu’s spouting that the Emperor was not on the same page as her, and that she couldn’t count on him to stand up for women and girls, so she might as well count on him to get married early so that the Empress could take up the heavy lifting, and at that moment she had wondered if the one who would inherit the throne would be the Emperor’s eldest son, then he would be in his mid-twenties at the very least, and it was unlikely that he hadn’t gotten married yet. Since it was the youngest third, it made sense.

But she thought of a question, “Why do you know so much about the palace secrets?”

Yun Qianyi’s complexion lurched as she heard this.

“Because I have a stepmother who was a courtesan in the palace.”

Huh?

“In order to show that her status wasn’t that lowly, she would show off these palace anecdotes at home whenever she had time.” Yun Wanyi’s face was a bit somber.

Zhao Su vaguely remembered where Yun Shengyi came from, she was originally also a great lady of Huizhou, but unfortunately she had a scummy father who was a flirt, and after her mother fell ill and died, she endeavored to win the Flower Moon Cultural Champion in the city of Huizhou, and the next day after she got the imperial decree and the Flower Moon Order, she followed her uncle to the capital to go to the capital to take up her post.

Later on, when she heard that the first lady of the Marquis of Qing Yun’s residence wanted to hire a female teacher, she arrived here, and then later on, things were basically clear. It was just that she also had a stepmother who had been a courtesan in the palace, which was the first time she had heard of it.

“How did your father know her?”

“She was released from the palace when she reached her full age, and heard her say that she originally worked as an errand girl at the Embroidery Bureau. My father saw her skin looks, so it became so.”

Zhao Su saw that she did not want to mention this stepmother, so she changed the topic, “It’s really strange, I actually grew up so afraid of the Emperor?”

Growing up outside the capital, Yun Qian Yi obviously could not answer this question, Xiao Ju jumped out, “The slave girl knows!”

“You say!”

“When the girl was six years old, she stole peonies from the imperial garden, and was reprimanded by the King of Qin, who was still the Crown Prince at the time, and told the Marquis, and was later severely punished by the Marquis, and then the girl ran away when she saw the Emperor.”

No wonder, how Zhao Su remembered how the original owner always shunned the emperor from the heart. It was also no wonder that the emperor would recognize her, but was used to her evasive attitude. Nine times out of ten, these two hadn’t dealt with each other much in the past.

Yun Qianyi followed: ”The girl has been in and out of the palace, and the emperor has not been absent from our residence, even we have to have seen Tian Yan, but you do not recognize him, you really need to reflect on yourself. To put it bluntly, if you are not back to find all kinds of reasons to refuse to go to face the saint, this time can make a mess?”

“……”

This was something Zhao Su couldn’t refute.

But the pot was the original owner’s, and if it were up to herself, it was impossible not to recognize it!

It’s a pity that last time, Gao Shu stopped her from seeing it, if she had seen it then, it wouldn’t have been as bad as this night’s social death to such a serious point.

She drank a mouthful of cold tea to calm her nerves.

Yun want to clothes tilted his neck and drank a mouthful of tea, even breath said: “His Majesty as the nine to five, even if this night accidentally give a helping hand, see should not see, according to my opinion should not be disclosed to the public. Otherwise it is not let the marquis embarrassed?

“On the contrary, we have to beware of Yu Qingping who broke in earlier, she is a palace guard, we can’t stop her, and I don’t know what she was looking at at that time not?”

Zhao Su recalled, Yu Qingping came in when she had already dressed in and that flow, not, and the emperor to talk, Yu Qingping should not see what should not see.

But according to the hostility of the flow of the surname Yu, afterward she will not dig, but can not guarantee ……

She said, “Why in the world is this surname Yu always a stream of bitter hatred?”
