Chapter 338 I have a great grudge against Fu the thief!
Information from all sources converged like a trickle flowing into a river and flowed into the Prince's Palace.
The prince sat in the meeting room, with his aides sitting on both sides, all of them with excited faces and flushed faces.
The prince was happy, his face was calm, and his tone was even gentler.
"Everyone, I was busy copying scriptures for the purpose of praying for blessings a few days ago, and I didn't have time to meet you. I heard that you were worried about me, and I am grateful for your kindness."
Everyone quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, you are too polite."
"Your Highness is kind and virtuous. It is an honor for us to serve you."
"Yes, Your Highness. The auspicious signs are God's will. Many people say they have seen strange phenomena outside the city. The people are happy to see them. This is the will of the people."
The prince was overjoyed: "I have only done what a crown prince should do. It is my duty to share my father's worries and to seek benefits for the people."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince may think this way, but we cannot. This time the public opinion and the people's hearts are as turbulent as the sea. We should plan well for the Crown Prince."
Everyone nodded. The prince was so happy that he could hardly suppress his smile when he heard what he was thinking. He took a sip of the tea.
Suddenly, a cold voice said, "As turbulent as the sea? May I ask, have you ever seen a sea? The water is so big that it can swallow rivers, and then it becomes a sea. Who among you has the confidence that you can control the sea?"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The prince looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man in the middle of the right row.
According to the rules, the people in the middle of the right column are not the most respected staff members.
Moreover, he was young, unlike the others who had beards and looked mature and steady.
As soon as the words fell, someone shouted, "Mu Que, what nonsense are you talking about? You have no right to speak here."
Mu Que said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Since I am sitting here and am one of the staff members of the Crown Prince's Mansion, I have the right to speak."
Mu Que stepped out and bowed deeply to the prince.
"Your Highness, I think that we should not use this news to create momentum at this time, but should suppress the news."
The prince looked at him without saying anything for a while, without changing his expression. The aide beside him sneered.
"How ridiculous! This is such a rare opportunity, but you don't take advantage of it and instead suppress it. How ignorant!"
"In the history books, how many monarchs have used the power of the situation to create momentum? This method is wonderful. You pretend to know everything and are different from others. Do you want to attract the attention of Your Highness?"
The staff either shook their heads or looked down on him, none of them agreed with Mu Que's opinion.
The prince looked at both sides and raised his hand to suppress it: "Okay, Mu Que, tell me what you think."
Mu Que bowed and said, "Your Highness, please dismiss the attendants."
The staff were in an uproar again.
“How rude!”
“Arrogant!”
"I don't know how high the heaven is or how deep the earth is. We have offered so many suggestions to Your Highness, and you are still a child, and you dare to ask us to retreat?"
Mu Que remained steadfast: "Your Highness, I can only speak to you."
The prince thought for a moment, then nodded with a smile: "Everyone, please be patient. How about this? Let them wait here first, and you follow me to the side hall. How about that?"
Mu Du nodded in agreement.
The prince gave orders to serve the aides good tea and snacks, and then took Mu Que to a side hall.
"Go ahead, there's no one else here, tell me what you think."
Mu Que bowed and whispered, "Your Highness, I think that at first glance, this news seems to be good for you, but I don't know where this news came from, who spread it, and whether there is any hidden secret. We should check it out one by one."
The prince was unhappy. As the other aides said, it was really useless. If they were to verify all the information one by one, how long would it take to find out?
The opportunity that was favorable to him had long passed.
Among them, he also had his own people pass on the message, cooperating with the auspicious event, taking a two-pronged approach. If it was missed, wouldn't it be a waste?
The prince didn't want to listen anymore, and said calmly: "I understand, you can go back and sit down."
Mu Que did not leave, and continued, "Your Highness, I heard that the emperor asked you to go to the temple to burn incense this time, and it was Fu Qingyin's advice. I wonder if it is true?"
The prince was even more unhappy: "Him? I am the prince, and my father is my son. When a father sends his son to do something, does he need outsiders to interfere?"
Mu Que lowered his eyes: "Your Highness, what I mean is that if this is true, you have to be on guard. Fu Qingyin is definitely not a good person. He speaks for you for no reason. What's the point?"
The prince was slightly surprised and looked at him again: "How dare you say that the commander is wrong? Aren't you afraid of him?"
Mu Que's eyes showed hatred: "Afraid? I wish I could kill him!"
…
After lunch, Yu Shengsheng took a short nap. When she woke up, she heard Nanny Zhou and others working and talking in the yard.
The Xu brothers are not talkative, but they are good at work. They tidied up the small garden according to Lu Hu's instructions.
He also followed what Nanny Zhou said and dug out a small piece of land, saying that he wanted to plant some autumn vegetables so that they could be harvested when the frost fell and he would have fresh vegetables to eat in the winter.
Xu Zhongqing mentioned two methods to keep vegetables fresh. Nanny Zhou was surprised and said she would write them down.
Yu Shengsheng listened for a while, then opened the window. A gentle breeze blew in and the sun was shining brightly.
She went to the small study and drew a few portraits for them. Jin Baobao had already drawn one, but Nanny Zhou hadn't yet. Lu Hu and the Xu brothers had just arrived and didn't have one either.
While they were busy, Hei Bai and his men came carrying two boxes.
"Princess," Hei Bai said, still feeling a little awkward, "My master asked me to bring this to you, saying it's a gift of noodles in return for yours."
Hei Bai has been away for these days, and he has thought a lot in his spare time. He is worried about his master's safety, but he can't force his master to do anything. If his master really likes it, he can only support it.
What's more, the princess did nothing wrong.
Yu Shengsheng didn’t know the twists and turns in his mental journey, she only knew that the two boxes were too many.
"What is this? A bowl of noodles. This is too expensive."
Hei Bai opened the box and said, "These are some books. The master said that your study is short of some books."
"As for the noodles, it's just a bowl of noodles to you, but not to the master. Anyway, please accept it so I can go back and report."
The golden leopard head poked in from the window and said, "Miss, I read poems to Su Yanshou in prison today, and I read some typos. You still need to read more. Please accept it. I will read it when the time comes."
Yu Shengsheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she had to accept it.
Hei Bai led his men and turned to leave. Jin Baobao happily helped to arrange the books, and Lu Hu went out to see them off.
Hei Bai whispered, "The master said to send two people to follow secretly for tonight's event. If they are useful, use them to ensure the princess' safety."
Green Lake nodded: "Okay."
Yu Shengsheng was busy arranging and classifying the books for a long time. The other box contained not only books, but also some study treasures and a few small paintings, which were just right to hang in the small study. There were also two green jade bottles, which were elegant and exquisite.
Everything fits.
Yu Shengsheng thought, everything was just right, Fu Qingyin had a really good vision.
Could it be that he had already thought of it the last time he came?
After thinking about it, she laughed at herself and felt that it was unlikely. Fu Qingyin was busy with all kinds of things, so how could he have the time to care about her little things.
It's just a coincidence.
