Princess Shouchun didn't expect that her performance was worse than Shen Wan's. Seeing that the emperor's face was not good-looking, she wanted to do a good job even more, but as a result, her unskilled movements became more unfamiliar and ugly deliberately.

Queen Song's face looked ugly as if she had been slapped several times. The emperor glanced at her displeased, and Queen Song's face became even more ugly.

The emperor closed the book and unexpectedly said, "It is not Princess Ling who needs to be taught the rules of the palace, but Shouchun."

Princess Shouchun's face was stiff.

Father, what does this mean? !

Empress Song said hurriedly, "I have neglected my discipline. I will ask several princesses and the two Jin princesses to learn the palace rules again."

Shen Wan frowned. As expected of the Empress of Song Dynasty, the emperor asked Princess Shouchun to learn the palace rules again, so she called all the princesses in the palace together, lest Princess Shouchun would be laughed at by other princesses, and by the way, she would fan the flames and make the other princesses laugh. Their princess hated to have sex with her.

Shen Ying looked at Shen Wan, "When did uncle find someone to teach eldest sister these palace rules? How come I don't know about it?"

Shen Wan did not save her face at all, "There are many things you don't know. The emperor granted me a marriage when I was only one month old. I am a quasi-prince and concubine. Can my father and mother not impose strict requirements on me? My father thinks I am stupid. She was afraid that I would embarrass the royal family by marrying into the royal family, so she asked me to learn everything I need to know in advance so as not to cause trouble to the queen and embarrass the prince."

What Shen Wan said was justified. Even if what Shen Ying said was true, she had never learned the palace rules in her boudoir, but she had only been married to Xie Jingyan for a month, and the Ling Palace was probably under the eyes of the Emperor and Queen Song. She could If she didn't learn these at Prince Ling's Mansion, then if she didn't learn them at Pingyang Hou Mansion, where else could she learn them?

Shen Ying was secretly angry, but could not expose Shen Wan. Empress Song looked at her with cold eyes and pointed at Shen Ying to defeat Shen Wan. Living under the same roof, even Shen Wan had learned the palace rules and didn't know what she was doing with him. Shen Wandou? What can the second house of Pingyang Marquis Mansion do to seize the military power from Shen Jing?

Marrying such a good-for-nothing Princess Jin almost brought her face to shame.

The emperor said, "Marquis Pingyang taught his daughter well, and I am ashamed of myself."

Usually when the emperor praises someone, he will be followed by a reward. For Pingyang Marquis to teach such a good daughter, and for the royal family to have such a good princess, they must be rewarded.

Then--

Shen Jingren sat in the military camp and received rewards from the horizon.

The Hou Mansion sent people to invite Shen Jing back to his home to receive the reward, but Shen Jing and everyone were confused.

After learning that Shen Wan was good at studying palace rules and that the emperor praised him for his skill in raising his daughter, Shen Jing finally let go of his worries that had been hanging around for more than a month.

The emperor's favor is so great that Shen Wan cannot withdraw from the royal marriage and can only marry the prince. Shen Jing is afraid that Shen Wan will cause trouble. It is a trivial matter to embarrass him. As long as he doesn't get into trouble with his clumsy words, he ends up telling him that the emperor He was very satisfied with his daughter and praised him for teaching her well...

Does the emperor have such low requirements for the prince's concubine?

It's a good thing that he's been on tenterhooks for so many years.

Worry for nothing.

Shen Jing had always received rewards based on his military exploits, but this was the first time that he had received a reward from the emperor based on his daughter. You can imagine how happy he was.

Seeing the emperor praising Shen Wan and rewarding Shen Jing, Queen Song's lips trembled with anger. What was even more irritating was that Shen Wan wanted to beat her and said, "Does the emperor want to test the rules of the palace? There are more than a thousand palace rules, my son." I know it all by heart."

There are more than a thousand palace rules, and even reading them takes a lot of time. How can you actually know them by heart?

The emperor became interested, picked up the palace rules, and asked Shen Wan a few questions.

Shen Wan recited it word for word.

Seeing Queen Song's livid face, Shen Wan felt extremely happy.

The dagger that pierced Queen Song's heart was thrust into her hand by Queen Song herself. She had been manipulated by Queen Song for so long in her previous life, so she couldn't learn the palace rules and etiquette in vain.

She is very familiar with the palace rules, so don't try to punish her for copying them in the future.

After taking Shen Wan's exam, the emperor did not forget Princess Shouchun, "Please answer, what is the 860th palace rule?"

Princess Shouchun hesitated and couldn't remember at all.

It wasn't that she couldn't remember it, but she hadn't read the palace regulations from beginning to end, so she didn't know what was written.

The emperor looked at Queen Song, who couldn't answer. In order to save face, she could only change the topic, "Marquis Pingyang is so strict with his daughter. I didn't know it beforehand. If I knew, I would definitely exempt Princess Ling from learning the palace rules." .”

The emperor closed the heavy palace regulations in his hand and threw them on the table. The sound was so loud that it was like a heavy hammer hitting Queen Song's heart.

Empress Song did not expect that she could not control Shen Wan, but instead shot herself in the foot.

The emperor stood up to leave, and Shen Wanfu came to see him off respectfully. However, the emperor had only walked a few steps when a father-in-law walked in quickly from outside and reported to the emperor, "Your Majesty, we sent someone from Meizhou 800 miles away urgently. It is said that there is water leakage in the granary. What's going on?" One hundred thousand dans of grain and grass were all burned."

The emperor's face darkened.

Shen Wan's eyes twitched hard.

Meizhou officials are so courageous.

The emperor already knew that there was no food and grass in the Meizhou granary, but he still dared to burn the food and grass to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces so that the people sent by the emperor could find out.

It's just that the emperor only found out about the empty granary in Meizhou a few days ago. Even if he sent people to Meizhou as soon as he learned about it, he probably hasn't arrived yet, not to mention that the granary in Meizhou was burned down. It would take four or five days for the news to be sent to Beijing on an expedited basis.

Thinking of this, Shen Wan raised her heart, but if her eldest brother revealed clues when he was checking the granary and was discovered by Meizhou officials, the emperor would have sent someone to investigate and destroy the granary first.

If that were the case, wouldn't her eldest brother be in danger? !

Shen Wan panicked when she thought of this possibility. She didn't bother to leave with Empress Song and followed the emperor out of Fengyi Palace.

Empress Song was originally unhappy because Princess Shouchun was not as familiar with palace rules and etiquette as Shen Wan, and she and the emperor had lost face. Now that she knew that the Meizhou granary was burned, she felt much better.

The officials of Meizhou were single-handedly selected by Duke Mao. The King of Jin and the Left Prime Minister were unable to deploy people to Meizhou even if they wanted to. Now that the granary in Meizhou has been burned down and hundreds of thousands of loads of grain and grass have been destroyed, the emperor will be furious. Duke Mao Guo, who recommended Meizhou as the magistrate, will be implicated. If the granary is burned and there is something hidden, even the eldest prince will not be able to escape his involvement.

In the past, Xie Jingyin had the upper hand over the eldest prince. After Shen Wan abandoned Xie Jingyin and chose Xie Jingyan, first there was fraud in the imperial examinations, the Imperial Academy's wine offering was confiscated, and then Mr. Xu, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was promoted, was suspended from his post for investigation. The Yun family has not been able to win over Xie Jingyin. It can be said that they suffered setbacks one after another, and the eldest prince caught up with him. The two men were indistinguishable in power in the court. The issue of seizing the legitimate son was making Empress Song anxious. Unexpectedly, someone would bring her tea when she was thirsty, and someone would bring her tea when she was sleepy. Pillow.

This is a good opportunity to overthrow the eldest prince. Empress Song said, "Let Prince Jin come to see me."
