The moment Chen Shu got off the bed and was about to put on his shoes, Jade heard the sound and hurriedly came to serve him.

"What time is it?" Chen Shu asked in a low voice, "I was careless and fell asleep."

Jadeite stealthily laughed twice, "Reporting to Miss, this servant just heard that Lin Hua Palace has become more lively, so it should be the fifth fragment of the night! "You should stop sleeping for a while, otherwise, if the little princess wakes up and doesn't see you, she won't be happy again."

Chen Shu was helped off the bed by Jadeite. "If I stay here all night, it would be against the rules. We've just entered the palace, so it's better not to make it too much of a show. There will be some hubbub in the future."

Lin Hua Palace:

Bai Yunfan sat on the golden throne in the sea of dragons, coldly watching the court officials in the hall put on an act.

"This subject has a beginning!" The one who spoke was Consort De's mother, who was also the previous crown prince's tutor.

"Please speak, honored tutor."

"Today, I want to learn from Wen Bo Ying of the Wen Family, and even more so from the Wen Guo Mansion."

The old tutor had a white beard, but his speech was filled with vigor. His red brocade official attire accentuated his majesty.

Bai Yunfan raised his eyes and asked, "How is Young Master Wen?"

"The second son of the Wen Family, Wen Boyuan, has injured the son of the Xu Family. Currently, the son of the Xu Family has been bedridden for five days. "The dispute between the two was over a piece of warm jade. This warm jade was first set down by Young Master Xu, saying that it would be a birthday present for his mother. However, the Xu Family's filial piety was ruined by Young Master Wen!"

"How does the Imperial Tutor know that it was decided upon by the Young Master of the Xu Family?"

"This subject carefully investigated and inquired about the jade artifact store in the south of the city. The manager told me about it."

"I feel gratified that the Imperial Tutor is doing his best. He even cares about the matters of a mere sixth rank official."

Shen An was just a scholar. A few days ago, he received a letter from the former Crown Prince. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stood out like this. In the entire Zhou Dynasty, who didn't know that the Wen Guoguo was not easy to deal with?

Bai Yunfan's face sank. This old fellow, Shen An, had actually deceived him. Earlier, he was only able to ask about it after seeing how knowledgeable he was. What sort of rotten idea was he planning to use now? Besides, beating someone up was not something that could be discussed with the Wen family.

"Does the Wen Mansion have anything to say?"

Zhang Zhang Zhang snickered inside. It seemed like His Majesty was going to deal with both Shen An and the Xu Family. Although he was unbearably happy in his heart, he was still fine on the surface.

Just as Bai Yunfan finished speaking, Wen Boyeng stepped forward. His handsome 25 years old son stood there, taller than even Tutor Shen by a head.

"This subject has an objection. What the Imperial Tutor has said is unfair." It was indeed my third brother's fault for beating him up, but it was indeed his Xu Family that was so unreasonable and unreasonable. That pair of warm jade bracelets had been forged by him, the second son of the Xu Family, who had despised workmanship and had asked the shop owner to make it up again. The younger brother looked at the bracelet and decided to buy it. How could he compete for it? "Second, if the young master of the Xu family hadn't verbally insulted our younger brother, why would our younger brother make a move?"

Shen An's face twitched, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Wen Mansion is bullying us! "Even if what the Young Master of the Xu Family did was inappropriate, how could he beat them into bedridden?"

"I am not a genius. I saw Young Master Xu drinking with someone at Red Willow Tavern the other night!" The group of people were eating happily, but they were not sick at all! "

Shen An felt that something was wrong with his brain. He fiercely glared at Xu Qing, implying, "I'll stand up for your family, shouldn't you say something now?"

The fat on Xu Qing's old face trembled as she stood up and said, "That's not right, my son is resting in the mansion right now. His body hasn't fully recovered, so how can he go out and drink wine?"

In the end, Wen Boying was still young, and his body trembled in anger as he watched the two old foxes spout nonsense like this. Although their master's house was never really close to the second house, these old foxes had actually bullied their own family!

Ah Fu stood at the side and yawned slightly. He watched these old fellows bite each other all day long. There was really no meaning in it at all. After all, wasn't it still up to the Emperor to decide? Moreover, there were nobles in the palace. Even the emperor had to bear the consequences if there was to be something big.

"Great Master Zhang, how did the Mansion of Retirement investigate this matter?"

Zhang Zhang Zhang pulled back his sleeves and said in a clear voice, "Reporting to the emperor, this subject has invited the Imperial Physician of the Imperial Physician Hospital to treat Young Master Xu. The Imperial Physician says that Young Master is just a little hot-tempered, without any other ailments! However, in the past few days, Young Master Bo Xuan of the Wen Family has suffered a little! "

"The smile on Bai Yunfan's face is obvious." It seemed that the Imperial Tutor was indeed a bit old for his age. Even Xu Qing did not understand the reasoning behind it! "Since that's the case, it means that the honored tutor is resting in the residence for a period of time. I shall leave the matters of the past few days to you, Great Master Zhang; you have been impetuous in your conduct and have ordered him to study in the Si Wen Pavilion for half a year!"

"This subject obeys the decree, Your Majesty the Emperor is wise!"

There were a lot of things happening in the imperial court today. There were also some scattered matters that were missing. It was almost noon by the time he finished dealing with them.

On the white jade steps in front of Lin Hua Palace:

Xu Qing gritted her teeth, cupping her hands as she said to Grand Tutor Shen, "How can a child deserve the Imperial Tutor's green eyes? I, the Imperial Tutor, am here to thank you! If there's anything you need in the future, I hope that the honored tutor can tell you in advance! "

Shen An, with his teeth broken and blood dripping from his mouth, said, "Sir Xu, you're too serious. I just can't bear to see Young Master Wen's way of doing things …"

"Father, why didn't you speak up for little brother Bo Ying just now? This matter clearly shows that he, Shen An, wants to bully us."

"Shen An isn't enough to make people fear. This Shen An is the former crown prince's tutor. There must be someone else trying to stir up trouble for him to bring this matter to His Majesty!" However, the Li Family is quite safe and sound today! "

"Father is right. However, my sister is in the palace now, and I'm afraid my grandmother won't be able to rest easy …"

Wen Hong raised his head to look at the sky. There were a few white clouds floating in the blue sky. The sun was hidden behind the thickest of the clouds, and Peace City in June seemed to be like this as well.

"Let's go. Send someone to tell your second aunt that Bo Ying is fine!"

Time flew. In the blink of an eye, it was June. An City was located in the south. It was extremely hot during the summer, and even a lot of water had been poured into the pond in the Heron Temple!

The Immortal Crane Bronze Incense Furnace was burning with the fragrance of sandalwood. Consort De was dressed in a red peony embroidered skirt with a slim and graceful waist. She was being served by a few little girls as they dyed her fingers with flower juice.

"Empress, Big Sister Hua Xi has returned. She is currently lying in her room. Big Sister Hua told me to pass this to you!"

Consort De waved her hand to let the little girl who was serving her down, and took the jade bottle from the servant girl's hands. The jade bottle was extremely crystal clear. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to see the picture of a persimmon engraved on the bottle.

"Empress …" The Flower Creek was entrusted to it by the Empress! "

"It's nothing. Chen Chengqiu is the former crown prince, and he has been hiding his true abilities for so many years. I won't blame you for that. Come quickly!"

"Empress, he asked me to tell you that if you could not bear your child again, he would help you. And he told you to watch out for the people in the palace. "

"You should go and rest first, get Little Happy to wait on you."

Hua Xi and Fu Fu Qing retreated after saying that.

"Where is the Emperor now?"

"In reply to Niangniang, the emperor is currently taking care of affairs in Lin Hua Palace. Just now, this servant heard from the imperial kitchens that the emperor hasn't eaten lunch yet and instructed the kitchens to boil some soup. Niangniang, why don't you go take a look?"

Ah Fu was leaning against the door of Lin Hua Palace, lazily taking a rest. The sun was shining down on him, making him feel both comfortable and sleepy.

"Eunuch, are you being lazy again?" As soon as Ah Fu came back to his senses, he smelled the fragrance of peony dew. Opening his eyes, he discovered that the person standing before him was from Biyun Palace.

Ah Fu bent his waist and quickly said, "Greetings, esteemed imperial concubine. Is the imperial concubine looking for His Majesty for something? It's a coincidence that the Empress came. Right now, the Emperor is discussing matters with Lord Zhang! "

"Eunuch must be joking, I'm not in a hurry. I'll have to invite Eunuch in later to inform you!" Consort De said as she handed over a piece of gold to Ah Fu. "Did anything happen to the emperor in the past few days?"

"There's nothing wrong with that, but the honored tutor today is indeed …"

Without waiting for Ah Fu to finish speaking, the door to Lin An Palace opened and Zhang Zhang Ye strode out.

"This humble subject pays his respects to the Empress!"

"Sir Zhang, quickly get up. You're the emperor's favorite, but by doing this, you've really ruined my plans!"

"Esteemed Empress, quickly enter. Otherwise, the soup will become very cold in a moment!"

When Consort De entered the hall, Bai Yunfan was currently reviewing the imperial reports. His handsome face was tightly knitted together, as the interior of the imperial court had not been peaceful recently.

The magistrate's residence was under Zhang Zhang's control. Wang Sheng was watching over the shadow guard, but he had yet to capture the former crown prince's entire force. The Mist Country in the south was also eyeing them covetously. On the surface, the Zhou Dynasty looked calm and collected, but in reality, it was extremely turbulent. As Bai Yunfan pondered this, he felt an even greater headache. It truly was not easy to be the ruler of a country!

"Chenqie pays her respects to Your Majesty. I heard from the imperial kitchens that Your Majesty didn't eat at noon. I've prepared a soup. Would you like to try it?"

Consort De quietly looked at Bai Yunfan. He held a green jade brush in his hand, but refused to put it down. After a closer look, he realized that his jade-like eyes were filled with tempest.

Suddenly, a voice rang out from the hall, interrupting Bai Yunfan's train of thought. He looked up and saw Consort De standing in the middle of the hall with a red body and a small eunuch behind her carrying a cup of soup.

Bai Yunfan smiled. "My beloved concubine, you've worked hard. I feel rather hungry now that you've said that!"

Consort De gently smiled, "Then quickly try it. If you like it, I'll make it for you often."

"Miao Yi's culinary skills are so excellent that I can tell that even the chefs in the kitchen are packing their bags and going home!"

Consort De's heart skipped a beat. He actually knew her name. When he looked up, his face was filled with joy, just like a daisy under the setting sun.

He had been in the palace for three years and had lost his daughter's heart long ago.
