He knew Tan very well: she was simple-minded, gentle and affectionate, kind-hearted, and always considered the overall situation. She was measured in her actions and never overstepped the boundaries...

This is the first time I can remember someone speaking so rudely and maliciously like today.

Was it that she had a deep prejudice against the Wen family, or did the Wen family really go too far? Thinking back on the past few years, she fell into deep thought.

Although Qi Wu didn't accompany her to the East Palace, he still went around after finishing his business. As a result, Wen Yu really didn't come back.

So, I waited by the car outside the door for a while. At least with Li Jiang there, I wouldn't be bored.

And that Hu Fei had already hidden away.

Wen Yu came out and sent Yan Zhu home first, and then the couple also went home.

As soon as I entered the second gate, someone was waiting. He smiled and saluted: "Fifth Master, Fifth Madam, the Marquis invites you."

It is common for the Marquis to look for Qi Wu, but this is the first time he has asked Wen Yu to go over.

When the old marquis saw the young couple coming in, Qi Wu actually helped Wen Yu up! Well... He picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"grandfather."

"Yeah. Are you back? Sit down, everyone!"

As soon as his butt touched the stool, "Wen, did you go to the East Palace today?" the Marquis asked.

"Yes, grandpa." Wen Yu secretly wondered why the old man called her here.

"Have you seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Yes. I also saw the Crown Prince's Consort and the General's Consort."

"Tell grandfather about what happened..." He looked like he wanted to know it from the beginning.

"Grandfather, the concubine is a good friend of my granddaughter-in-law. Sometimes, she would ask my granddaughter-in-law to go to the East Palace to talk with her. She also likes the salty pork dumplings and snacks in the store very much. She often sends people to get them, or asks the store to send them to taste. Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also like them very much when they taste them occasionally. So... my granddaughter-in-law would occasionally send some food over. But please rest assured, Grandfather, there will be someone in the East Palace to check all the things brought."

The Marquis didn't say anything, so Wen Yu could only continue: "Today I went to see the Concubine first. Then, accompanied by the Concubine, I went to the study of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness asked about the situation of his granddaughter-in-law's shop. His granddaughter-in-law said: Now the shop has become a major taxpayer. I implore His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to reward it at the end of the year." She smiled.

The Marquis raised his eyebrows. This way of getting along surprised him a little.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked his subordinates to take note of this and said that he would report it to the Emperor."

The Marquis nodded: "Although the words are a bit casual, but His Royal Highness does not blame it, then it's fine. However, grandfather feels that those foods are not appropriate. You know, His Royal Highness's taboos are not just those that are commonly known. He is weak and cannot easily try anything he has never eaten or used before.

Although you said that someone from the East Palace will check, this is related to the safety of the crown prince, and no one can bear any consequences. So, don't do this in the future. But you can discuss the specific operation with the concubine. "

"Grandfather is right. Granddaughter-in-law will consider it carefully and find an appropriate way to deal with this matter. Then, I will report to you."

"Yeah." The Marquis was quite satisfied with Wen Yu's attitude. He then asked, "Who is that Yan Zhu?!"

"Yan Zhu is my granddaughter-in-law's childhood companion. Her mother and my granddaughter-in-law's mother have a certain relationship. She is also the goddaughter of my granddaughter-in-law's uncle. She also knows and is on good terms with the general's concubine. Therefore, when entering the palace, my granddaughter-in-law will always bring her along."

The Marquis said nothing.

Wen Yu added: "Yan Zhu is a beautiful girl with good character, kind heart and simple mind."

The Marquis's expression did not change, but he was thinking: Why does this sentence seem to have a hidden meaning...

Thinking about what Tan said just now, my heart felt a little heavy.

"For so many years, she has been with her grandson's wife... We can say that we grew up together. Now, some of the dishes in the restaurant are made by her.

She is very talented in cooking. Her embroidery and other skills are also recognized by the shop's master. It can be said that she is self-taught! But it may be that she is too skillful in these aspects... Other things are a bit clumsy. She often even acts silly! She often misinterprets what His Royal Highness says. Therefore, she often makes His Royal Highness laugh.

Grandfather, as the crown prince, what can't he eat in this world? ? If you really like Yan Zhu's cooking, let her go to the palace to be a cook for a few years to serve His Highness. It will also be a great honor for Yan Zhu. In your spare time, ask her to come over, cook some food, and have some fun... Maybe it's because the wise prince is surrounded by too many smart people, too many intrigues, malicious people, and traps. So, he values ​​simplicity and simplicity more..."

The Marquis' heart was pounding, and he felt that she was referring to "someone", but he had no evidence...

He found it quite heart-stirring, yet extremely depressed.

…

Li Qihuan settled the prince down and gave instructions to the eunuch before returning to the concubine's room.

"He went to bed. He said he felt much better!"

"Today, my father drank a big bowl of spicy soup and then broke out in a sweat. He said his nose was unblocked and his body felt relaxed! Let's leave quickly and let Otomo take care of him."

"Sweating like this is much more comfortable than taking medicine. I'm really tired today..."

He frowned.

Jiang Pingting stood up and stood behind him, rubbing his neck. "Would you like to take a hot bath?"

The grandson hummed gently.

"Didn't you see the Empress? Is she busy up front?" Jiang Pingting asked the people around her to prepare hot water and came back to continue pressing.

"Yes. She is busy with the Ministry of Personnel with Dong Zhanshi and others. Originally, it was my father who took the lead in this... I have a lot of things on hand and can't take care of it for the time being."

"So at what stage will your Majesty or Mr. Dong Zhan report the progress to the Crown Prince or you?"

The crown prince frowned, "My mother and I both said not to disturb my father for now. He just caught a cold now, and if it gets worse, I'm afraid his illness will be triggered. Mr. Dong Zhan is quite capable, but as far as I can remember, he never reported anything to me..."

"Your Highness, I shouldn't interfere in these matters, but..."

"Go ahead!"

"You have mentioned Dong Zhanshi to me twice. He is an official of the Eastern Palace and should be responsible to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and to you.

My father is not in good health, and the queen has done a lot of things for him, but no matter how much she has done, it is just to assist... Let's not talk about the queen's thoughts. But Dong Zhanshi's behavior is a bit strange. Which official doesn't want to accompany the emperor one day and become an important official in the court? So, he helps the queen, no matter how much and how well he does. If there is such a day, the queen can reach into the golden throne to help him with his future? If it can't be done... then why is he assisting her wholeheartedly?"

The crown prince listened with a serious expression.

…

The young couple returned to their room, and Xiaoji came over: "Ruyi, who was in front of Fourth Grandma, said..."

Wen Yu heard that it was the old woman who was stirring up trouble again. She was really not empty-handed! "Wulang, grandfather wants to give the title to Qi Youduan, right?!"

To the Third Uncle, he was directly named! Qi Wu, who had just changed his clothes, smiled and sat beside her: "That should be what he meant! Otherwise, there has been no heir for so many years..."

"Then will the emperor agree?"

"In this regard, the national law and family rules do stipulate that the eldest son should be given the throne. However, under normal circumstances, if there is a legitimate son in the family, the throne cannot be given to a concubine's son. For other matters, the court does not interfere much. Grandfather also has some face in front of the emperor. Unless there are unexpected events, he should not care."

"Since the emperor doesn't care, then just bring it up openly. Are you afraid of hurting your eldest son's reputation?"

"That's not clear."

"What do you think?"

"I don't want to get involved in this family's things. Come to think of it, it was really the Qi family that spent some money to marry you, and my expenses before that..." I don't know what he remembered, so he stopped talking.

"You don't want to get involved, and neither does the master? It's clearly his thing, but he's giving it to his stepmother's younger brother! In the future, will he still have the nerve to do this? People won't ask: Qi Youyi, what on earth did you do wrong? Why didn't the Qi family pass the title to you?"

Wen Yu shook her thin neck and performed vividly there.

Qi Wuai loved her so much that he pulled her and laughed out loud.

"Tell me, what did he say then? And that woman who is not like a real mother to him, but is more like a real mother to him, keeps saying how much she loves him. Now when the time comes, I want to see how she loves him."

"Ayu, don't worry about these unhappy things. I will take good care of you!"

"You've been saying a lot of sweet words lately!" Wen Yu looked at him and smiled.

Qi Wu blushed.

"I have plenty of money, so I don't need you... Hey, hurry up and get me an imperial decree! When I saw the Crown Prince's Consort in the East Palace today, I knelt down! Really... My skirt is dirty and my knees hurt."

"Where it hurts? Let your husband rub it for you..." Qi Wu now speaks without thinking.

"Hey, hey... not there! Hey, it's not here either... you..."
