There had never been such an intimate gesture between the prince and his brothers and sisters.
When I led her out by the hand, I felt really worried, just like I was raising a daughter.
After walking a distance, he let go of her hand and looked at her, but she still glared at him.
The prince was so amused that he patted her on the back helplessly.
In fact, the prince really didn't understand why Emperor Ming Yan wanted to "use" Yan Shiyue in this way, like a sword out of its sheath. This way of using her was too "king-subject" and it seemed that he didn't care about the relationship between father and daughter at all and didn't think about her at all.
He also didn't want her to know that, in fact, most of the officials in the court didn't want her to stand in the court.
The key point is, whether she knows it or not, it is useless. The emperor wants to "use" her in this way. Whether as a monarch or a father, she can only obey.
I know, it only makes me sad.
So the prince only said to her: "Do you know that Jia Changzai is the niece of Prime Minister Xu?"
Yan Shiyue suddenly realized: "So that's it."
...
...
Xu Mingxiu recommended her to the court. Regardless of whether she was willing or not, and regardless of whether he was trying to please the emperor, she owed him a favor in this matter.
Then, regarding the matter of Xiao Bailian, even though she really hated her and felt that she was not wrong, it was equivalent to owing Xu Xiang another favor.
But it was really too much for him to frame Xu Wenqu with anti-Chinese poetry.
Yan Shiyue said: "But, can't you come to me for anything? Why do you want to attack the gentleman?"
The prince asked directly: "What do you think?"
Well... She remained silent.
The prince said, "You don't have to think too much. Even if you don't take action, Mr. Xu will only be detained for two or three days. The real culprit will be found and he will be cleared of all charges."
She asked: "Are they doing this to sow discord between me and Aye?"
"Not really," the prince said, "I think it's to make you get used to and adapt to... the rules of conduct in the officialdom."
Yan Shiyue was speechless. She thought about it seriously: "So what should I do now?"
The prince was silent for a long time: "It may not be Prime Minister Xu who took action. There is really nothing you can do. From now on, you can only fight back."
Yan Shiyue was silent.
She went to the East Palace to play with the children for a while before returning home. Then she thought about it carefully and sent someone to deliver a valuable gift to Prime Minister Xu, expressing only her gratitude for his recommendation and nothing else.
She had also thought about it. Jiapin was a member of the harem, demoted by the emperor. What could she say? How could she say it? She couldn't give him another concubine position as compensation.
So those who understand will naturally know that it is an apology.
As for today's incident, she had a hunch that even if she investigated to the end, she might not be able to find out the real culprit behind it. So if it was Xu Xiang, then it was it. If not, then it was not it. Anyway, the more courtesy, the less blame.
As simple and crude as always.
Xu Xiang, who suddenly received two cars of gifts, said: "..."
I feel like I've been blamed for no apparent reason.
Other ministers who learned about this: "..."
They didn't think it was a random gift. Naturally, there were many guesses, at least thirty versions.
Therefore, letting a modern person, especially a modern person who wants to be the queen, to mix in the ancient officialdom is really out of place, and their thinking will never be in line.
Xu Xiang is over 60 years old this year.
Officials of this dynasty "retire at the age of seventy". At this age, he has become very Buddhist and would avoid trouble if possible. He especially does not want to provoke someone like Yan Shiyue who does not play by the rules and ruin his reputation in his later years.
So after Yan Shiyue presented the gift, at night, Prime Minister Xu’s residence secretly sent someone to deliver a box, saying it was Prime Minister Xu’s return gift.
Yan Shiyue opened it and saw that it was an ancient book. She didn't recognize the words, so she took it to show Xu Wenqu.
When Xu Wenqu saw it, he was overjoyed and said that it was a rare copy from the Wei and Jin dynasties and he was overjoyed.
Yan Shiyue called for water on the spot and washed his hands three times.
To be honest, no matter how much others admire the elegance of the Wei and Jin dynasties, she has no good feelings towards that era.
Knock five stones, disperse drunkenness, "avoid politics and talk about purity" or "talk about scratching lice"...
That is to say, you are sitting opposite and talking to someone, and you put your hands into the sleeves of your wide robe, touching everywhere and pressing lice, and occasionally smacking your finger to draw blood... Just imagine how vulgar and disgusting this image is!
Yan Shiyue said as she washed her hands for the fourth time.
Xu Wenqu looked at her and said calmly, "Pan An."
Yan Shiyue's hand paused.
Oh, yes, Pan An was also from this period, and so was Wei Jie... I'd better call him Song Yu or Lanling King next time.
Xu Wenqu smiled and said, "I wanted to tell you about this book, but now I'm done. Forget it. You just need to know that Xu Xiang meant that this matter has nothing to do with him."
"Is that so?" she asked. "Who could that be?"
Xu asked about the channel: "I don't know."
Yan Shiyue said "oh", and Xu Wenqu remembered to ask her: "Why did you ask me if there was a ground dragon in the west hall?"
"Oh," Yan Shiyue said, "I just made a random guess because I thought this thing must have been written at home, so I just gave a more practical example and let that person scare himself."
Xu Wenqu suddenly realized: "I see, I thought you have to sweat to have hand lines."
She said, "Sometimes you can't feel the sweat on your fingers. Theoretically, fingerprints will be left as long as they come into contact, but they may not be swiped out." She curved her eyes and said, "For example, the one in the poetry collection, in fact, it may not be swiped out."
Xu Wenqu smiled and nodded.
She went to find Yan the little fox.
Xu Wenqu sat down, looked at the book, and suddenly smiled.
She didn't say sorry to him, which made him very happy.
Then Yan Shirui spent half an hour telling her that "everyone has a possibility."
Meow meow meow?
Yan Shiyue was overwhelmed: "It's too complicated and too brain-consuming. If I keep listening to it, I will shorten my life by ten years! That's it, I'm going to go back to sleep."
Yan Shirui: “…”
He said helplessly: "I just want you to understand..."
"I understand now," she said standing at the door. "You mean, in this situation, if one real murderer falls, thousands of real murderers will stand up, so finding the real murderer is meaningless, right?"
Yan Shirui nodded: "Yes."
"Then what can I do? Go back to Jubao Village and be a little village girl? I would like to! But is it possible?"
Yan Shirui thought about it and agreed... There is no solution to this question.
The next day, the Dali Temple sent someone to deliver the final result.
Anyway, it was that imperial scholar named Kang Kai who was jealous of Xu Wenqu, and set up such a trap to frame him.
The case file describes the incident in great detail, but, how should I put it...if someone was behind this, we would definitely not be able to find out from this.
Yan Shiyue did not pursue the matter further.
This made many people, especially the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, feel relieved, as they were really afraid that this person would not let go.
You know, you can guess about many things, but you don't have any evidence. If you don't have any evidence and find out the truth, it will be difficult for them to deal with it.
But soon, the Dali Temple Minister found that it was too early to relax.
