When people from the palace arrived, Su Juan was chewing on the roast duck leg that Song Qianhang had asked the servant to buy. In front of the two of them were scattered wooden signs with different patterns painted on them.

When Su Juan finished the last wooden card in his hand, Song Qianhang shouted again, "One more round, one more round!"

Song Qianhang has been in all kinds of places and has won all kinds of games, but he has lost to Su Juan repeatedly in Ye Zi Xi. The key is that he still lost even when Su Juan exposed his thoughts. It is really shameless.

Su Juan chewed on her leg stretch and narrowed her eyes, "Okay, let's play another round."

[Even if we play another hundred games, I will definitely win. ]

[To put it bluntly, this leaf play is just playing cards. We have been playing it since we were young, but Song Qianhang is still too young. ]

When Song Qianhang heard the word "tender", he immediately became depressed, threw the wooden sign away, and lost interest. "Forget it, I won't fight anymore, it's boring."

Su Juan smiled and put away the wooden sign, "Then we won't fight."

Song Qianhang raised his eyebrows and winked at Su Juan, "Sister-in-law, let's go shopping later, Baihua Tower?"

After passing Baihua Tower, Song Qianhang copied the Book of Female Commandments for Su Juan dozens of times, and the two of them could be considered to have become close friends now.

In this family, his eldest brother is too annoying, his father is too strict, and his mother always restricts him. Su Juan is the only one who can talk to him.

Su Juan curled her lips and said, "Think about it."

Dong Dong's eyes widened, "Second Master, how could you take our master to a place like that!?"

What is that Baihua Tower?

Song Qianhang picked up the fan on the ground and shook it, then looked at the little girl and asked jokingly, "What's wrong with Baihua Tower? Why can't we go there?"

"That kind of place..." Dong Dong blushed, "How can our master, a girl, go to that kind of place!"

After Song Qianhang laughed heartily, he asked Su Juan, "Sister-in-law, where did you put all those weird things I copied last night?"

Su Juan blinked, "Your elder brother's."

[The things that Song Qianfan punished me to copy are naturally all in his possession.]

"Ah?" The paper fan in Song Qianhang's hand made a "clack" sound and fell to the ground again. "No, I copied it. It's all my handwriting. Aren't you afraid that big brother will recognize it and come back to settle the score with you?!"

Su Juan looked at Song Qianhang innocently, "I didn't expect him not to recognize it."

[If you can recognize it, then you can recognize it. It’s not a big deal. 】

[The man surnamed Song said to copy it a hundred times, but he didn’t say that you can’t find someone to copy it for you. ]

[It's good enough that I can give it to him. A man shouldn't ask for so much. That would be too immature.]

Song Qianhang was completely clueless as to what the hell was going on. Fortunately, his elder brother didn't usually care about his schoolwork, otherwise if he recognized his handwriting, he would be really finished.

While the two were talking, someone came from outside to report that someone from the palace had come to invite Su Juan into the palace, and the palace carriage was already waiting outside.

Watching the carriage go away, Princess Jing felt uneasy, "Why do people in the palace always let Ajuan enter the palace? Will something serious happen?"

Ajuan had all sorts of thoughts in her mind, many of which could not be known by outsiders. It was really dangerous for her to go into the palace all the time!

Prince Jing comforted him, "Don't worry, it shouldn't be a big deal, maybe it's a good thing."

In fact, he could more or less guess in his heart that in recent days, he seldom conveyed what his daughter-in-law was thinking to the palace, but there were really too many trivial words, and they were all nonsense if he picked them out, so he had no way to convey them.

But the emperor would more or less think that he, as a minister, was not dedicated enough in this matter. Perhaps he wanted to find a suitable opportunity to keep Su Juan in his sight so that he could always listen to what Su Juan was thinking.

Prince Jing did not tell Princess Jing about these, for fear that she would worry.

...

At this time, Song Qianfan returned to the study and looked through the stack of papers that Li An had brought back. His face gradually became gloomy. What a shameless Su Juan was. She actually dared to find someone to copy for her and was so perfunctory. Did she still take him, the prince, seriously?

"Go and call the Crown Princess to me."

As soon as Li An saw it, he guessed that the Crown Prince's Consort was going to be in trouble again, "My Lord, the Crown Prince's Consort is not in the mansion now."

Song Qianfan's face became even uglier. It would have been fine if she hadn't copied it, but she even dared to leave the house. If she didn't learn a lesson today, his name, Song Qianfan, would be read backwards from now on.

"Why don't you send someone to bring her back to me?"

Li An was silent for a moment, "It was His Majesty who sent someone to bring the Crown Princess into the palace..."

"Master, do you want to send someone into the palace to catch him?"

Song Qianfan's eyes changed drastically. Why did His Majesty send people to bring Su Juan into the palace? Was he trying to find out who would be the crown prince again?

Oh no, I shouldn’t have left the palace so quickly. Otherwise, I could have kept an eye on Su Juan in the palace.

He was very worried, fearing that Su Juan would reveal something in front of the emperor.

...

In the palace, Su Juan got off the carriage and was taken to the imperial study. In addition to the familiar old emperor, there were two old men, one of whom was Liu Miaoqing's father, the Minister of the Central Secretariat Liu Ze.

The other was the Minister of Personnel Mei He, who was still kneeling.

Su Juan narrowed her eyes, [What's wrong with Minister Mei? He is Song Qianfan's man, why is he kneeling now? ]

She remembered that this Minister Mei was Song Qianfan's right-hand man, who had harmed many innocent officials in the future and accepted bribes in various personnel appointments...

Mei He's body shook and he crawled on the ground, with cold sweat rolling down his forehead and onto the ground.

The old emperor frowned. He knew that Mei He's private contacts were not simple. Even this time he recommended someone to the Ministry of Revenue for personal gain. But how could this person be the Prince of Jing?

He originally thought that it would be someone from King Han or King Heng.

Su Juan couldn't be wrong.

Could it be that...his younger brother, who seemed to have no desires, was humble and submissive, actually also had his eyes on the throne?

A cold light suddenly flashed in the old emperor's eyes. He thought his younger brother had hidden his thoughts so carefully.

No wonder he hasn't reported Su Juan's matter in the past few days!

The Minister of the Central Secretariat acted as if he didn't hear what was said, but he sighed in his heart. Prince Jing was the emperor's younger brother, and Prince Jing's son was very well hidden. It was because of Song Qianfan's several attempts to marry Miao Qing that he noticed that Song Qianfan was secretly forming cliques and had his eyes on the position of crown prince, and had been making many small moves behind the scenes.

But after all, he is the son of Prince Jing and the most trusted brother of Your Majesty. Therefore, I hesitated for a year or two and could not think of how to remind Your Majesty of the problem. However, Su solved it with just two or three sentences.

The Minister of the Central Secretariat could not help but think that if Su could always stay by His Majesty's side, these corrupt officials with evil ambitions would not be able to escape Su's eyes no matter how well they hid.

However, the old emperor at this time thought that Mei He was the man of his good brother, Prince Jing.

The old emperor smiled and said, "Princess, I asked you to come to the palace today because I heard that you are good at math and I wanted to test you. Do you have any objection?"

Su Juan bowed obediently, "It is my honor that Your Majesty can test me."

The old emperor nodded with satisfaction. He was very satisfied with the Crown Prince's Consort. She was very obedient and would not object to anything...

[Is the old emperor too bored to test me on arithmetic? ]

Old Emperor: “…”

The Minister of the Central Secretariat and the Minister of Personnel standing nearby heard it clearly.

The old emperor has a facial pain.
