I have a supermarket system, shocking the whole court

Why did she invite Prince Ju back for no reason?

You know, when the little emperor was the only person of royal blood, the empress dowager and the little emperor had already been tied into one camp.

Even if she, the imperial concubine, wanted to seize power and usurp the throne to become the empress dowager, it would only be something she could do behind closed doors. At most, she could create something to make the empress dowager and the empress dowager restrain each other. There were precedents for this in ancient times.

However, once Prince Ju is involved and becomes the regent, things will be different.

You know, Prince Ju is also of royal blood and can sit on this position legitimately. She wanted Prince Ju to come back to restrain the Queen Mother, but has she ever thought that if the Queen Mother really fell, Prince Ju would be unwilling to let go. What should she do when it is easier to invite a god than to send him away?

Ning Ning shook her head: "It's a good thing that the Concubine's father is willing to go crazy with his daughter..."

"The Minister of Rites was just promoted half a year ago. Before that, he was only the Vice Minister of Rites."

The implication is that the Minister of Rites was able to ascend to the throne because of his grandson's ascension to the throne, and that he himself has no talent.

"Speaking of which, since Prince Ju didn't return to the court, does that mean that the Minister of Rites' proposal has been suppressed?"

"Yes, it was the Right Prime Minister who rejected it."

"!" Ning Ning was shocked. The Right Prime Minister was Prince Ju's maternal grandfather. She didn't expect that it was him who prevented Prince Ju from coming back. It seemed that the grandfather really broke up with his nephew?

By the way, these two grandfathers are quite similar. One tried his best to prevent his nephew from returning to the court to do important things, while the other was committed to increasing the difficulty of his nephew's career and helping him find a rival.

"Let's talk about the Left Prime Minister. The Left Prime Minister Wang Zhiyu was the top scholar in the year when the previous emperor ascended the throne. He is somewhat similar to the Right Prime Minister when he was young. It took him only a few years to become a marquis and a prime minister. It is worth mentioning that the Left Prime Minister's ancestors can be traced back to the Wang family of Langya. Many ministers in the court admire him because of his family background."

Ning Ning understood. It turned out that the Wang family of Langya also had a clan in Daliang. Why did they seem so inexplicably more familiar?

"So how is the relationship between the left and right prime ministers?"

Zhou Mingyu shook his head: "After all, the Right Prime Minister is a veteran of three dynasties and is relatively conservative. As for the Left Prime Minister, he is a young man after all and has unlimited ideas for Daliang, so he often comes up with some new insights and solutions. However, it is conceivable..."

Ning Ning understood.

The conflict between conservatives and reformists.

After Zhou Mingyu's guidance in this small class, Ning Ning had some understanding of the court.

Theoretically, it was the Queen Mother and the Concubine Dowager fighting each other, and the left and right prime ministers were also fighting each other. Of course, there might also be undercurrents between the ministers and the Queen Mother, and in the middle there was also a covetous Prince Ju...

In general, it's a mess.

However, despite the chaos, some things suddenly became clear to me because I understood the entire structure of the beam.

Theoretically, Zuo Xiang needs the money because reform requires funds.

Prince Ju also needs this money. If he intends to rebel, he will definitely need to spend money to station troops.

The only one who had no reason to want the money was Toffee.

However, these are just speculations based on the situation in the court. To find out the truth, we still have to start investigating from the uncle of the concubine, Liu Yuzhou, the vice minister of the Ministry of Justice.

While Ning Ning was brainstorming, some people in the palace were also furious.

"How could this matter be related to Liu Yuzhou? Could it be that bitch was really involved?"

“Everything is still under further investigation.”

"If it's really related to this bitch, I must kill her! Does she know how important these 100,000 taels of gold are to the national treasury?

Having said that, this girl Ning Ning is quite capable. She has already gotten hold of so many things in just a few days.

Ah Qi, I finally found an opportunity to let you hide behind the scenes. You should take advantage of Ning Ning's presence to uproot the guys involved and put an end to this matter once and for all!"

"Yes." Shang Wenqi clasped his fists towards the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother sighed and said, "Go down."

"Yes."

Soon Shang Wenqi went out.

For him, disappearing silently in the palace was nothing new.

As soon as Shang Wenqi left, a figure with jingling jewelry hurried to the empress dowager's bedroom.

As she ran, she shouted, "Brother Qi, Brother Qi! I know you are back, come out to see me."

The little girl said this and happily pushed the door open and came in, but her mother was the only one in the room.

The little girl frowned immediately: "Mother, where is Brother Qi?"

"You are the Princess Zhuang Yan, how can you be so impetuous?" The Queen Mother's eyes were full of helplessness, but there was no intention of blaming her.

Of course, the main reason is that this daughter has been spoiled since she was a child, and her temperament has long been formed. No matter how angry she is or how much she tries to restrain her, it is useless.

Since I can't change her, I can only learn to accept it.

Princess Zhuang Yan Liang Yelan didn't care about her mother's rebuke at all. She anxiously walked around the room and couldn't help but pout: "Brother Qi left again?"

"Well, he has something urgent to do and doesn't have time to play with you, so stop bothering him."

"I haven't seen Brother Qi since he went out on a private errand more than a month ago. When he finally came back, I didn't even have time to see him before you suspended him. Now you're using the excuse that he's busy. Humph, what else can Brother Qi do if he's already been suspended?"

Seeing her daughter getting angry again, the Queen Mother felt a headache.

"Alright, alright, I'll ask him to come to the palace to see you when he's free. Mother still has things to do, so please don't bother me."

Liang Yelan glanced at her mother, who indeed looked exhausted, but ultimately did not make a fuss. She bowed and left.

But after going out, her eyes started to roll around.

"Since Brother Qi doesn't have time to visit me, I'll visit him instead."

As she said this she snapped her fingers, and the little palace maid followed her out immediately.

"Princess, I'm here."

"Go and see when the imperial chef will go out of the palace to buy things again, and tell me as soon as possible."

The little maid couldn't help but frown when she heard this: "Princess, are you going to sneak out of the palace again?"

"Well, I have to go out and see my brother Aqi before I can feel at ease. He loves Qingyun Zuoqi so much, and he must be very sad to be suspended. I have to go and comfort him!"

"But..." The little maid looked at the palace hesitantly: "The Empress Dowager said that you are not allowed to leave the palace without permission again."

"I'll go there and come back the same day, just don't let her know."

Liang Yelan was already skipping away as he spoke, and the little palace maid had no choice but to chase after him.

Song Sijing, who watched all this on the beam, couldn't help but frown. Princess Zhuang Yan was going to look for Aqi again... Poor Aqi... No, he should be worried about Ning Ning. After all, Princess Zhuang Yan had an inexplicable possessiveness towards Shang Wenqi since she was a child. If she saw Ning Ning by Aqi's side, she would tear Ning to pieces.

Should we send someone back to report this?
