Chapter 243 Because She’s Awesome

System: [I haven't watched the details yet, but many of the things that the Zongzhengfu has dealt with before are family conflicts among royal family members, which are all quite bloody. I believe that with the Third Prince in charge, it will definitely be even more bloody.]

The court officials were stunned when they heard this. Why would things be even more outrageous with the Third Prince in charge?

The Third Prince also looked a little confused.

Yuan Ruan also asked their doubts: [Tong'er, what does this bloody story have to do with the Third Prince? ]

System: [Aruan, this is metaphysics. Let me give you an analogy. What is the relationship between murder and Conan? ]

Yuan Ruan's eyes widened in an instant: [I understand.]

The more people listened, the more confused they became: ???

Murder? Conan?

Little Imperial Master, what do you understand? What kind of riddle are you telling?

…

Everyone in Daxia was a bystander and was very curious about what the system said.

So after the morning court session, their attention was almost all focused on the Third Prince.

It was the first time that the Third Prince was stared at by so many men. He felt very uncomfortable and got goosebumps all over his body.

At this moment, he felt someone tug at his sleeve and heard a soft voice.

"Uncle Emperor, Uncle Emperor..."

The Third Prince lowered his head and happened to meet Yuanruan's big round eyes. He smiled cutely and subconsciously said what he was thinking: "Hey, little ancestor, I'm here."

Yuan Ruan was stunned.

The Third Prince was also frozen for a moment, not expecting that he would blurt out such a thing. He tried to make up for it by saying, "If you have anything to ask, go to Uncle Huang. Uncle Huang will do anything for you!"

Yuan Ruan pulled the Third Prince and said, "Uncle Emperor, I miss you."

The Third Prince instantly felt the sinister look from the Emperor's younger brother. He quickly picked up Yuan Ruan, stood in front of the Emperor, and said softly, "Uncle misses you too. But Uncle also knows that you miss your father more, right?"

The Emperor, Yuan Ruan and the Third Prince: ...

Qi Kuan held his forehead in silence. He took a step forward and spoke in a deep voice, "You take a rest, or I'll hold you. Ninth Princess, do you want to go out and play? I'll come later..."

Yuan Ruan said: "Go to the Zong and Zhengfu!"

Qi Kuan's mouth twitched: The little imperial master wants to come and eat melons.

Just as Qi Kuan was about to refuse, the Third Prince spoke up very actively, "Okay, okay, Little Imperial Master, this is a very good idea. Let's go to the Zongzheng Mansion together."

System: [Great! The Third Prince is really a good person.]

Yuanruan: [Great! Let’s go check it out.]

Qi Kuan and the third prince looked at each other.

The emperor gave the prince a look, and the prince understood that his father was worried that if an emergency occurred, the third prince would not be reliable, so he needed him to help clean up the aftermath.

He took a step forward and looked at Yuan Ruan with a smile: "Ninth sister, how about I go with you?"

Yuan Ruan happily extended his hand to the prince and said repeatedly, "Okay, prince, brother, take me with you."

The prince walked forward holding Yuanruan.

The Third Prince was about to chase after him when Qi Kuan grabbed him.

The Third Prince turned around in confusion. He saw Qi Kuan's face full of helplessness. Qi Kuan lowered his voice and said, "Why did you encourage the little imperial teacher to go with you?"

The Third Prince was a little unhappy and wanted to show off, but considering his mother's iron fist, he moved his lips and whispered: "Where is the instigation? It's obviously the little imperial teacher who wants to go."

Qi Kuan's mouth twitched, and he whispered, "Yes, yes, yes. Then why do you strongly support the young imperial teacher to go?"

"Because she's amazing!" The Third Prince had a surprised expression of "Why don't you understand?", and rubbed his fingers in a low voice, "The little imperial master is so amazing. If a bad guy wants to do something bad, he reads the melon. If a criminal wants to hide something, he reads the melon... Hey, with the little imperial master here, we don't have to worry about anything, how easy it is."

The third prince who was just ambitious and wanted to do something big: ...

The corners of Qi Kuan's eyes kept twitching. He knew that the Third Prince liked to show off, but he didn't expect that the Third Prince could be so outrageous.

After taking a deep breath, Qi Kuan spoke word by word: "You also know that with the young imperial teacher taking action, there will be nothing for us to do, but this is something that His Majesty has entrusted us with because he trusts us. If we cannot demonstrate our value, what else can His Majesty entrust us with in the future?"

He used emphasis on several "we".

The Third Prince looked like an experienced person and patted Qi Kuan on the shoulder: "Don't worry, there are still many things to do."

Qi Kuan choked: ...

The third prince also looked over.

"You don't have to doubt it." The Third Prince had a sad face and spoke with reluctance, "Look, I have been useless for so many years, and now I am assigned so many tasks. You should understand. Really, you don't have to be too active in work, because there will definitely be endless work to do."

As he spoke, a strong aura of a social animal wanting to show off came towards him.

Qi Kuan: …

This statement has some problems but seems to make sense.

But when Qi Kuan came to his senses, he saw that the Third Prince looked cheerful and muttered, "Hey, after get off work this morning, let's go for a stroll and play polo."

Qi Kuan felt both angry and a little amused.

He patted the Third Prince on the shoulder, pointed around and said, "Look around, have you noticed these sight lines?"

The Third Prince looked over and happened to meet the court officials' fiery gazes.

He quickly retracted his gaze and coughed softly: "Look if you want, it won't cost me a single piece of my flesh."

"No. I just want to say, don't think about leaving get off work early." Qi Kuan smiled faintly at the Third Prince: "Because the little imperial teacher is gone, we will be more tired."

Third Prince:?

The Third Prince said firmly, "It's impossible. The young imperial tutor is very reliable. The case was handled very quickly. How could I be more tired?"

Qi Kuan glanced at the court officials who were ready to make a move and smiled without saying anything.

At this time, some court officials took action.

Minister of War: "Let's go together. I'm going to visit my general when I was in the army, the Third Prince, so let's go together."

The Third Prince actually wanted to refuse, as it would be difficult for him to sneak away when his colleagues arrived. But since the social etiquette had to be taken into consideration, he could only nod.

The Minister of War stroked his beard with satisfaction, and the Minister of Revenue stepped forward and said, "Third Prince, I just happen to have some investigations into the case of nobles helping others to embezzle grain and military pay. I will go to the Zongzheng Mansion with you."

The Third Prince's pupils trembled: Checking the accounts?! How much more work would this add to his workload! But... with such a legitimate reason, he had to nod his head.

At this time, the Minister of Justice also came over and coughed lightly: "My subordinates said that there are scoundrels pretending to be nobles and active in Kyoto recently. Your servant, your servant must go to the Palace to check the information of the nobles."

The Third Prince: ...

What?! Check the data of recent years?! How long will he have to stay with her?

…

The Third Prince looked at the Minister of Rites, Prime Minister Li, and the Minister of Personnel who were slowly approaching... His expression was a little confused. Wait, is there something wrong?
