Chapter 242 Do they want Zongzhengfu to die? !
The other three kingdoms were in turmoil because of the incident involving the Queen Mother of Xia.
The turmoil in Xia Kingdom was almost settled after about fourteen days.
Especially after the blood flowing in the Wumen Vegetable Market was cleaned up, the Empress Dowager and her relatives acted as if they had never appeared, and there was no sound of conversation at all.
That day, the emperor and the crown prince stood up yawning, and the third prince followed behind. This was his first time to attend court with some official duties, and he was a little excited.
On the way to pick up Yuan Ruan to attend the court, the prince could not help but say, "Father, I did not expect that the Queen Mother's relatives would be handled so smoothly. The six ministries cooperated closely, and even if there were some minor conflicts, they were argued openly. Ha, I can hardly remember the situation of "intrigue and deception" in the past."
The emperor said: "There is a 'big melon' pressing down on us and 'ascension' hanging on us. If the political situation in Daxia is still unstable, it is better to open the city gates as soon as possible and find a country to surrender to."
The prince smiled awkwardly but kindly.
The emperor looked at the third prince again and said, "Later, go into the house and call Jiu'er."
The third prince said loudly: "Yes, father."
The emperor nodded and continued walking forward.
It was not the first time for the Third Prince to attend court, but it was the first time that he went to court with some official duties, so he was a little excited.
Before arriving at the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, the Third Prince could not help but ask, "Father, when I go to court later, what do I need to do? When can I submit a memorial, when can I offer my opinion, when can I..."
The emperor said naturally, "You don't need to do anything..." He paused, "Just wake up your sister later."
The Third Prince: ...
The Crown Prince patted the Third Prince on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much. It's always like this when you first enter the court. Just listen more, watch more, and keep your mouth shut."
He was too embarrassed to say it out loud. His father was worried about his ninth sister's increasingly bad temper when she woke up, so he sent the third prince over on a small errand to bear Jiu'er's teeth and cat punches together.
At this time, they arrived in front of the Imperial Master's Mansion.
To everyone's surprise, Yuanruan has woken up.
No, to be precise, the palace maid was holding Yuanruan and walking forward at a very fast speed, and a voice of "Stop! Wait!" was heard from behind.
The emperor and others looked over and saw that it was actually two other palace maids holding the twins who were chasing after them.
Three emperors:?
At this moment, the palace maid suddenly rushed towards the emperor and his two companions, holding Yuan Ruan.
System: [Ah Ruan, look! Your father and his friends are back! Quick! Love will not disappear, but it can be transferred.]
Yuanruan: [Duck. 】
The emperor and his two companions were completely confused, but when they saw the chubby cute baby stretching out his little hands towards them, the emperor very naturally lifted Yuanruan up and picked him up.
"Father! I miss you!" Yuan Ruan said happily.
The dragon and phoenix cubs that followed over had obvious confusion on their faces for a moment, then they followed the Crown Prince and the Third Prince's example and stretched out their hands.
At this time, the emperor noticed that Yuanruan's round little eyes glanced in that direction with pity, especially the third prince.
The emperor also looked over and happened to see the Eighth Prince slap the Third Prince hard on the cheek and then bite him hard, but the Third Prince still had no expression on his face.
Just by looking at his wide-open eyes and his red, bitten ears, you can guess how much pain it is.
As for the crown prince, he was also hit hard by the eighth princess with the head butt, making a "bang" sound.
emperor:……
The system is still worried: [Aruan, being liked by a cub is a bit risky. Especially for a little cub like this who has the power to bite you if he likes you.]
Yuanruan: [Yes, fortunately they only release their dental energy once every few days.]
System: [Actually, Ah Ruan can bounce back. ]
Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched slightly: [I just don't want to be bitten, so I don't want to destroy their baby teeth. ]
…
The emperor amusedly pinched Yuan Ruan's cheek, who was using them as a shield, and then said to the palace maids: "Send the eighth prince and the eighth princess back to rest."
After releasing its dental energy, the dragon-phoenix fetus was now more well-behaved and fell asleep while yawning.
The third prince took the initiative to pick up Yuan Ruan.
Yuan Ruan was stunned for a moment, then said obediently, "Third brother, OK."
Yuan Ruan: [Are you going to school today instead of attending court? Oh, no! I would rather be in a daze in the court.]
The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard the poor student's words, and subconsciously asked, "What books has Xiaojiu read recently?"
Yuan Ruan's chubby face was embarrassed for a moment: "Yes, Father, I have read The Analects."
The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Is it the Analects? Have you memorized all of it?"
Yuan Ruan's eyes widened. "Ah? Recite? Father, no, you only let me sit in?"
The emperor nodded as a matter of course: "Yes. I have listened to it more than a hundred times in the past few days, so I should be able to memorize it by heart."
Yuan Ruan's pupils trembled: [Wait, I just heard the teacher talking on top. Who can recite this! ]
Then she tugged at the emperor's sleeve, raised her head, and said in a soft voice, "Father, I can't carry you. Come out."
The emperor lowered his head and happened to meet Yuanruan's big eyes, which were round, round and a little nervous.
After a moment, the emperor gently pinched Yuan's soft and chubby cheeks and said naturally, "Yes. It's normal. The prince and the others can't recite it either."
The Crown Prince and the Third Prince: ...
The system quietly added: [Your brother is a pretty good person. In fact, your brother can memorize it after listening to it twenty times. Your eldest nephew can also memorize it almost completely after listening to it fifty times, and the memory of the third prince is also...]
When the system saw Yuanruan's face fall, it immediately added excitedly: [But Aruan, you can be struck by lightning and call the wind and rain, but they can't. You are the most powerful! ]
Yuanruan choked up: [Thank you.]
The emperor laughed, picked up Yuanruan, and walked towards the throne room.
What was discussed in the Golden Palace today was the defeat of the Huns yet again, and the Chen State delegation's desire to continue to argue.
Yuanruan began to doze off after listening for a while.
Suddenly, she heard a shocking piece of news.
The gist of it is that a group of old princes who are in charge of the Zongzhengfu are sick at home, and a new acting Zongzheng is urgently needed to handle the cases of the royal family members and maintain the stability and development of the Zongzhengfu.
After much deliberation, they chose the Third Prince, and let Qi Kuan and the Third Prince assist in the affairs of the Imperial Clan.
The system was also very surprised: [Choose the three princes to manage the Zongzhengfu? What, do they want the Zongzhengfu to die? 】
The courtiers tried hard to hold back their laughter.
The Third Prince, who was slacking off nearby, was very unhappy when he heard this. Why? Choosing him would mean the death of Zongzhengfu?!
But soon, he was happy again: OK, OK, the system is right! The Queen Mother's relatives and other powerful people are dead, there are so many lucrative jobs left, and so many people are watching, but he is still not willing to go.
Yuan Ruan was almost scolded by the system: [Not really. ]
System: [That’s right. The Third Prince should be a mascot. The ones who really do the work should be Qi Kuan and the Third Prince. These two, one is smooth and the other is iron-fisted, may be able to deal with those bloody things in the Zongzheng Mansion with miraculous results.]
Qi Kuan and the Third Prince: ...
Yuan Ruan suddenly became alert: [What is this bloody incident in Zongzheng Mansion? What is it?! ]
The court officials smelled the scent of melon at once.
They all looked over.
