But Empress Su never expected that even though she followed the ancestral rules, Emperor Ming Yan did not see her at all, and only asked Gu Jiuxing to pass on a message to her: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs!"
At the same time, Gu Jiuxing asked Princess Shouning, "Princess, the emperor asked you to go back and think carefully about what it means to 'support your husband and raise your children'."
Princess Shouning almost fainted on the spot.
Supporting her husband and raising children, assisting her husband, educating her children... Is the emperor saying that she has not fulfilled her duties as a wife? He has already convicted Pan Yun! For a common princess, he actually stepped on her face like this!
Princess Shouning was filled with hatred and fear, but she had no choice but to go back.
As for Empress Su, her sanity had been burned away by the raging anger.
Didn't they say that the harem couldn't interfere in politics? Well, educating the princess was her responsibility as the harem!
She called a few trusted female officials and secretly left the palace to announce Yan Shiyue.
Now that she is a princess, she is her biological mother! I don't believe she dares not to come!
But he came back empty-handed, as he heard that Yan Shiyue had entered the palace.
...
...
Empress Su immediately sent people to Fuzhen Pavilion, but still no one was there. She then went to Yonghe Palace, but the Imperial Concubine also said that she had not come...
No matter how many means you have, it will be useless if you can't even find the person.
Queen Su was so angry that she smashed the utensils all over the floor, but she was helpless.
Where did Yan Shiyue go?
At this time, Yan Shiyue was sleeping soundly in the side hall of Emperor Ming Yan.
She is not stupid. After the matter is done, the Queen will definitely cause trouble for her. Wouldn't she have to find a place to hide?
This side hall was not where Emperor Mingyan lived. Only the Crown Prince would stay overnight occasionally. It was not against the rules for her to stay here. Even if it was against the rules, so what? This was the Emperor's territory. As long as he nodded, no one could interfere.
But when she arrived, Emperor Ming Yan was busy, so she directly asked Gu Jiuxing to arrange a place for her to rest. Gu Jiuxing was a smart guy, so how could he refuse? He quickly arranged a comfortable place for her.
Yan Shiyue hadn't slept all night and had been busy all day. As soon as his head touched the pillow, he fell asleep without knowing why.
Once the matter was revealed, it was actually very easy to investigate, and the prince quickly sent a "list" to the palace.
There is still nearly a month until the imperial examination, but the candidates on the list who will be selected have already been decided by 80%!
This matter is not only a routine, it has become a tacit agreement to deceive the superiors but not the subordinates! How arrogant, how bold!
If we further investigate the identities of these students who passed the exam, we will find that many of them graduated from Lushan Academy.
Many people in the court came from Lushan Academy. The current principal of Lushan Academy is Lin Fujian's junior fellow apprentice.
Even if we put aside these obvious relationships, one of the original examiners for this session was Lin Fujian's apprentice.
Emperor Ming Yan was furious.
Seeing that it was already time for dinner, Gu Jiuxing stepped forward cautiously and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the little prince is resting in the side hall now! I heard from Xiaoyan that he hasn't eaten a single bite since morning!"
Emperor Ming Yan's anger suddenly subsided: "Oh? Why is she here?"
Gu Jiuxing said, "The young prince came over and heard that the emperor was in a meeting, so he asked me to find him a place to rest. He said he didn't sleep all night last night, so I took the liberty to arrange for him to stay in the side hall."
Emperor Mingyan frowned: "This kid..." He stood up and said: "He is quite clever! He knew to hide here!"
He called to the prince: "Go and have a look!"
The two of them went over. After all, they were blood relatives, so there was no need to avoid suspicion. The prince also went in to take a look and saw that she was sleeping soundly. Emperor Mingyan patted her a few times, but she didn't move at all.
Emperor Mingyan asked, "How long have you slept?"
Wei Bo reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, one hour and a quarter."
"Then let her sleep a little longer." Emperor Ming Yan asked someone to put the meal outside the screen and talked with the prince while eating.
While eating, I heard a soft voice behind me calling, "Aye."
She came out in slippers, her hair was disheveled and her eyes were staring. Before Emperor Ming Yan could say anything, she sat down beside him in a daze, hugged his arm, leaned on his shoulder, closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
Even Emperor Ming Yan was stunned for a moment, thinking that she was just confused. He listened to her breathing... The two were speechless. They actually fell asleep.
Emperor Ming Yan suddenly didn't dare to speak. She was just a little child and if she was startled in her sleep, it would be no joke.
The father and son looked at each other in silence.
Then the prince picked a dish and placed it in front of her.
After a while, Yan Shiyue smacked his lips and opened his eyes in a daze.
Then she was startled: "Brother, when did you come?"
The prince raised his eyebrows. She subconsciously wanted to let go of his hand, but when she saw Emperor Ming Yan, she was stunned again: "Aye? Why are you here too?"
The prince smiled and said, "It can be seen that Yue'er is thinking about something every day. She can even dream about me and Aye."
"Don't tease her, she's in a deep sleep." Emperor Ming Yan covered her eyes with his hands and said, "Tell her to wake up slowly."
Even the prince is a little envious of this favor.
Yan Shiyue slowly came to her senses and pulled his big hand off with both hands. Emperor Ming Yan then said, "Go wash up and come to eat."
Yan Shiyue said "oh" and then left.
After washing her face, she felt refreshed and sat down to eat with them.
The prince thought she would ask about the follow-up, but she seemed to have forgotten about it and kept trying to eat, which showed that she was really hungry.
After finishing her meal, she asked the servants to make her a cup of milk tea. She drank it with both hands. Emperor Ming Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you tired of making a fuss? You don't even eat your meal?"
She said, "It's OK."
Emperor Ming Yan was so angry that he slapped her on the back and said, "I can't let you leave my side. You make a scene when I can't see you!"
She said, "You can't blame me for that. There are many gambling sites in the world, but he chose to do it in my Deshan Garden. I must...kill him to warn the rest!"
Emperor Ming Yan looked at her askance and said, "Why don't we open it in your Deshan Garden and you don't care about it?"
Yan Shiyue said: "Then I might be able to handle it calmly."
"You still know you can't calm down!" Emperor Ming Yan was simply angry and amused: "You rushed forward recklessly, and before I had time to react, you had already done the job for me!"
Seeing her lower her head to drink milk tea, her little face not even as big as the bowl, he couldn't help but sigh again: "I know Yue'er loves Grandpa, but Grandpa also loves you! It's just a little trouble for me, but for you, it's a storm, which will not only bring disaster, but also damage your reputation. Don't do this in the future, understand?"
She said to him very obediently: "Okay."
It was obvious that she didn't listen, but she was so passionate and sincere that it was hard to blame her.
Emperor Ming Yan sighed heavily.
The prince changed the subject in a gentle voice: "Yuer, I heard that Xu Qing and Lin Fujian have some problems?"
"Yes! He has a grudge against his apprentice," Yan Shiyue turned to Emperor Ming Yan and said, "So during the imperial examination, Father, you must not send Lin Fujian!"
Emperor Ming Yan sneered.
The prince measured his intention, told him the results of his investigation, and explained a few more words in a gentle voice.
