Chapter 1015
The queen looked at him and knew why he said that. After all, it was because he did not obtain the throne in a legitimate way, so he cared a lot about his reputation.
He wanted to use the drum to clear his name, but he also needed the drum to stop him.
The Queen sighed and said, "It would be better if the caning could be spared."
The emperor snorted and said, "Unless they have performed great merit, how can I pardon them? If I pardon them on some random excuse, won't the world be in chaos?"
The queen thought about it and said nothing.
The emperor saw her worried look and took her hand and asked, "Are you still worried about the two princes?"
The Queen pulled the corners of her mouth, but found that she could not smile. Tears suddenly fell. She wiped her tears and said, "Your Majesty, after the Queen Mother's death, let Sanlang leave the capital and go to his fiefdom."
"His princess gave birth to her eldest son only two years ago. The child is still young. Why is he in such a hurry?"
The Queen shook her head and said, "He's not young anymore. The Twelfth Prince of Teng will soon be relocated to his fiefdom. If you feel sorry for your grandson, you can let him go there first to familiarize himself with the affairs of the fiefdom. You can then bring his wife and children over after the palace is set up."
She said, "He's grown up now. What's the point of him staying in the capital?"
The emperor was silent for a long time. Seeing the queen's determined expression, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take note of it."
After class at the Imperial College, Manbao jumped off the carriage and waved happily to Bai Shan and others who were walking out.
Bai Shan said goodbye to his classmates who were walking beside him. Everyone waved goodbye to him enthusiastically. Seeing him running towards the little girl with a basket of books, they couldn't help but smile.
Bai Shan ran up and asked with a smile, "Why did you come to pick us up today?"
"I received a reply to the post I wrote to Madam Tang. This afternoon, one of their servants said she was free and would be out for a stroll. She asked if we wanted to join her, so I came to pick you up."
After Manbao finished speaking, he saw Yin Huo walking slowly towards him. He raised his hand and waved at him before asking, "Tomorrow I need to change the medicine. Do you want to come directly to my house or go to the pharmacy?"
Yin Huo smiled and said, "Let's go to your house."
He paused and asked, "By the way, have you sold all the flowers in your house? My sixth sister's flowers are blooming, and she loves them so much that she even cut a branch for me to put in the house. I smell them so sweet."
“They sold out yesterday.”
Yin Huo felt a little regretful. "You were so quick. I only told you two to go shopping. I didn't reveal anything, did I?"
"Don't worry, Bai Shan and I have planned this carefully, and no one can trace it back to us."
Yin Huo smiled and nodded. Seeing Bai Shan standing aside waiting, he hesitated and asked, "Aren't you going home?"
Bai Shan nodded and said, "I'm going to meet a friend."
Yin Huo waited for a moment, but when he didn't hear them invite him, he felt a little disappointed. He nodded and said, "Then you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go home first."
Manbao and Baishan nodded together. When he got on the car, he looked back at the Imperial College and complained, "Why is it taking you so long, Baier?"
"He's probably playing with his classmates. If he doesn't come out in a while, I'll go in and find him." Bai Shan asked her, "Have you thought about how to deal with Madam Tang later? When she lived in Luojiang County, she really wanted to know what we were doing."
"After thinking it over, I decided to tell her directly that I can't say it."
Bai Shan: ...
Yin Huo got on the carriage, and Changshou asked, "Master, are we going home?"
"Don't worry, just walk down the street."
Changshou waited for a while, and seeing that he didn't say where he was going, he could only agree, spurred his horse and started walking.
Manbao and the others leaned against the car and talked for a full quarter of an hour before Bai Erlang walked out arm in arm with his friends.
As soon as he walked out the door, he saw two people waiting by the car. He immediately retracted his arm, said goodbye to his friends, ran over happily, and asked happily, "Where's Gao Song? Why are you picking me up here?"
Bai Shan turned around, put down the car seat, and helped Manbao into the car. He said unhappily, "Mrs. Tang invited us to dinner, and Manbao came to pick us up. You've taken too long. Tomorrow's the holiday, why aren't you in a hurry to go home?"
"It's because tomorrow is a holiday that I'm not in a hurry to go home."
Bai Erlang waited for Bai Shan to get on the carriage, then he jumped on the horse stool and asked excitedly, "Where are we going to eat? Will the master go too? No, the master is too old, and it would be difficult for Madam Tang to eat with him..."
Daji put the horse stool back, turned the horse around and started walking.
Mrs. Tang invited them to dinner. Since they were all so familiar with each other, of course she would not choose an expensive restaurant like Zhuangyuanlou. Instead, she invited them to Xiangmanlou, which was said to have a particularly delicious fish.
Mrs. Tang chose a large private room by the window and leaned against it. She saw their carriage as soon as it arrived. She smiled and waved to the people downstairs. Seeing them respond with smiles, she ran happily into the restaurant and then returned to the main seat with a smile.
The shop assistant quickly led them in.
Mrs. Tang smiled at them and said, "I thought you were going to play a trick on me, but who knew that after a month you would still be writing to me."
The three people with impure intentions all smiled embarrassedly.
Mrs. Tang waved her hand and said, "Alright, you don't have to be embarrassed. Come sit down and tell me what you want to eat."
Manbao said: "We are not familiar with it, just order it."
"Okay," Mrs. Tang said to the waiter, "Just serve the dishes I ordered."
Three people: ...
After the waiter left, Mrs. Tang looked at them with a smile and said, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Mrs. Tang's maid smiled and walked forward to pour a cup of tea for the three of them, then stepped aside.
Manbao gave an embarrassed chuckle, then asked bluntly, "Mrs. Tang, we're unfamiliar with the capital and don't have much information, so I wanted to ask you, has anything happened in the capital recently?"
"Something happened?" Madam Tang tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Is there going to be a palace banquet?"
The three of them shook their heads together.
"Is it because the Empress Dowager is approaching her twilight years, and the prince and his family have all come to the capital?"
Bai Shan: "We all know this news."
"Yes," Madam Tang said, her lips raised. "This news is not secret. Everyone knows it. Besides, you three, one is in the Imperial College, one is in the Imperial Academy, and one is in a pharmacy where there are all kinds of people and information is everywhere. Nothing should be hidden from you. So what kind of news do you want to know?"
Bai Erlang felt a chill down his spine the moment he saw Madam Tang. He began to feel a little regretful. He felt that this Madam Tang was completely different from the Madam Tang he had met before, except for her face.
So he turned and looked at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan hesitated for a moment and was about to speak, but Man Bao suddenly spoke before he could, "We want to know the news about the King of Yizhou."
