Zhongshu Shilang and Shangshu Zuocheng were not confiscated, but these are not the credit of Jin Yuchen. Jin Mingzuo knew that what he did four years ago went too far, which caused dissatisfaction among the people and courtiers. He always felt that this was too cruel , so they just took back the allocated mansion and let them retire and return home. Even the eldest son who was an official in the court was dismissed from his official position and demoted to ordinary people.

The fourth prince, Jin Yuchen, contributed a lot to the whole case, and it was considered decent in the court, which made more people notice that his down-and-out prince was not as completely useless as they imagined.

But these are just a drop in the bucket. He doesn't have a powerful family in this deep palace, and he doesn't have any meritorious service. He is so old and still lives in the palace for nothing. He has nothing to do. Now he is just playing a little clever It's just that a case has been solved, and it has only changed some people's perception of him as a rice bug. After all, he will not stand on his side who seems to have no chance of winning.

Of course Jin Yuchen knows what these people think, he is not in a hurry, Jin Mingzuo is still so young, he doesn't have to be so anxious to set up a platform for himself, he has a lot of time to grow himself slowly, eager for quick success will only provoke Jin Mingzuo's resentment and targeting, the situation in the DPRK and China can be called interesting.

What annoys Jin Mingzuo most now is probably the behavior of wooing powerful ministers to stand in line. He is in his prime, but his son is already getting ready to grab the throne. Isn't this just an insinuation that he is running out of time?

But any minister with a brain will try to avoid contact with the prince. Even if he is invited by the prince, he can push it away. Now the so-called ministers who stand in line under the prince's hands are mostly fools. Change immediately and turn against each other.

So many unlucky things happened in the palace, Jin Mingzuo invited the biggest and best opera troupe in the capital to sing in the palace, the stage was set up in an open space in the imperial garden, anyone outside the palace who wanted to listen to the opera could come, Coincidentally, Jin Mingzuo's elder sister, the eldest princess, returned to Beijing to visit her relatives, and brought a lot of rare gadgets from Prince Muying's mansion and cakes made by the eldest princess herself. as heavy.

The Eldest Princess married Prince Mu Ying in the westernmost part of Anqing Kingdom, which is very far away from the capital. The day before the Eldest Princess got married, the Queen Mother cried for an entire hour, holding the Eldest Princess' hand, saying that the married daughter The water that went out is now on my daughter, and it is so reluctant to part with it.

Every year, the Eldest Princess will return to Beijing to live for ten days and a half months, and stay with the Empress Dowager. Jin Mingzuo was very happy when he received the paperwork that the Eldest Princess wanted to return to the capital, and he gave three or two ounces to all the slaves and maids in the palace. Salary.

The palace became lively, the maids and eunuchs in each hall thanked the emperor for his kindness, and the eunuchs who were in charge of rituals had already set off to set up the stage.

This matter really sounded very happy, but Jin Yuchen was very unhappy. The eldest princess came back to visit her relatives, which meant that her whole family would come to the palace, so wouldn't Princess Lian also come?That troublesome little girl loved to pester herself before she entered the clan's mansion, and if she didn't see her for a few years, she would probably become a big trouble.

Anyway, during the time when the eldest princess returned to Beijing to visit her relatives, Jin Yuchen didn't plan to do anything, but to accompany Jin Mingzuo to have fun in the palace, and then deal with this difficult princess.

On the day when the troupe entered the palace, the eldest princess also entered the palace. Jin Mingzuo had been listening to the stage early in the morning and wanted to set up the position of the eldest princess. The ministers were seated according to their level and official position. The seat at the back basically couldn't see what was going on on the stage. This was a good opportunity to get close to the emperor, but most of the courtiers would not come, because the emperor basically only talked to people in the seats next to him.

The eldest princess is naturally by the queen mother's side. She hasn't seen her for a long time. The capital sent some people to deliver her favorite food and clothes.

"Mother, why are you so thin? Is the food in the imperial dining room not good? You love to drink the bird's nest stewed by me. You must have been thinking about the baby after he went to the west. I will cook it for you when I turn back." The eldest princess is filial. When Jin Mingzuo was not enthroned, the eldest princess Jin Han'er was in charge of the queen mother's meals. She did everything by herself and was extremely delicate.

"Ah, you child, you are obviously the eldest princess, but you like to do things that only servants would do. You don't look like it." Do it yourself, "The mother's appetite is not very good, and it's still a little cold recently, you should add more clothes, don't freeze yourself, and Xi'er is the same."

The little girl whose name was called, An Lianxi, was a teenage green onion girl who had been in a daze in one place before she was called. When she came back to her senses, she found that the Queen Mother was obviously angry. Grandmother, I have dressed properly, you don’t even know that every time I go out, my mother will nagging me for more than half an hour before letting me go out, and I’m almost falling asleep.”

"Xi'er! Why are you talking to your imperial grandmother!" The eldest princess stared at An Lianxi with an angry expression on her face.

"Oh, grandma, take a look, my mother is going to start again!" An Lianxi covered her ears, pretending to have a headache from her clothes.

"You child!"

"Hahaha...Xi'er is really likable, isn't she? Han'er, don't be so strict, I'm afraid you will kill the child's nature." The queen mother smiled instead of anger, she has always liked this ghost girl, she speaks lively and playful , making people laugh out loud.

Jin Han'er couldn't help complaining bitterly: "Mother, you don't even know what this child has become for Shihuan. Everyone in the girl's family is going to be called a king at home, and you still don't let my ministers treat her properly."

"Mother, don't sue me in front of the imperial grandmother, why am I so immodest?"

"Okay, okay, our Xi'er is the most obedient, come, come and listen to the opera with the emperor's grandmother." The queen mother happily patted the place beside her, signaling her to go over.

An Lianxi lowered her face: "Ah... But Xi'er doesn't like to listen to operas... I'm afraid it will disturb the interest of the emperor's grandmother..."

"Xi'er!" Jin Han'er almost called her name sharply.

"It's okay, don't be so aggressive, it's normal for their children not to listen to operas. Don't be restrained, Xi'er, the palace is also your own home. If you feel bored by listening to operas, you can go to other places." The Queen Mother smiled. kindly.

"It's better for the emperor's grandmother to be kind to Xi'er." An Lianxi smiled. After seeing the movement on the other side of the stage, the queen mother's attention was also attracted, and she carefully leaned into Jin Han'er's ear and said, "Mother, I want leave for a while."

"Where are you going?" Jin Han'er didn't care too much, looking at the people on the stage, she asked casually.

"Go to Brother Yuchen."

"What?" Jin Han'er was startled, "Isn't he locked up in the clan mansion?"

"The Clan Mansion was originally for the prince to contemplate his past. When the time comes, the emperor's uncle will naturally let him go. It must be like this." An Lianxi was about to run away to the prince, and Jin Yuchen sat in a taller room. On the viewing platform, he was joking with the Ninth Prince Jin Xuefan.

Jin Han'er grabbed her hand: "Listen, Xi'er, you should have less contact with him in the future. His family of concubines and concubines committed a serious crime of punishing the nine families. You must not get too close to him, so as not to offend your emperor's uncle." happy."

"It's not brother Yuchen who committed the crime, why can't we get closer to him? I just like to stay with brother Yuchen." An Lianxi broke away from Jin Han'er's hand, and ran towards Jin Yuchen impatiently, without any hesitation. He looked like a princess.

Jin Yuchen pressed his head with a headache, originally thought that the eldest princess would stop this troublesome spirit from running to him, but it was useless.

Jin Xuefan, who was on the side, ate the melon seeds on the table, and said frankly: "I have to say, fourth brother, you are really attractive to girls. I think you will feel better during the time when the eldest princess comes back to visit her relatives. This small county The Lord is very arrogant and domineering, and he can neither scold nor hit, which is indeed a headache."

Jin Yuchen looked at the "little rabbit" running towards him, and sighed helplessly. The old fox facing up is not as fierce as this scourge: "Ninth brother, don't make trouble, anyone who doesn't know that she loves to torment me .”

"Then what can I do? This little princess doesn't like me, and I can't help it. It's just that the fourth brother should pay attention. Today, my father invited many ministers to the palace to listen to the opera. How could our Princess Anhe Will he be absent? It's just that the drunkard's intention is not to drink." Jin Xuefan looked at Shen Xiangguo calmly, Shen Qing sat upright, and quietly looked at the center of the stage, just in time for Shen Qing to say goodbye They also looked at them, and the two smiled at each other, politely, "Fourth brother, there is more than one woman who needs to be careful today."

Jin Yuchen didn't even know where to look. An Lianxi rushed to him, hugged his arm involuntarily and said coquettishly, "Brother Yuchen, you finally came out! You didn't even know you were locked up. My mother has not allowed me to come to the capital these few years, if I insisted on coming this time, I’m afraid I wouldn’t even know you’ve come out. By the way, brother Yuchen, when did you come out?”

Jin Yuchen slowly opened her hand and drew back his arm, and replied indifferently and politely: "The eldest princess must have her reasons for not letting you come to the capital, you should listen to your mother, I never It has been a few days since the Clan Mansion came out, and the Muying Palace is too remote, so it is reasonable to say that there is no information."

"Brother Yuchen hasn't seen Xi'er for four years, do you miss Xi'er? Xi'er wants to come to the capital to see Brother Yuchen every day!" An Lianxi rubbed up again, this time firmly Hugging Jin Yuchen's arm, the kind that you can't even pull it out.

Jin Yuchen nodded and smiled perfunctorily: "Of course I wanted to."

When An Lianxi heard this, she became even happier, and asked up the pole, "Brother Yuchen, are you married?"
