As soon as these words were spoken, Crown Prince Mu Lingming took the lead and walked ahead.
Next came the second prince Mu Linghua, and then the third prince Mo Lingye.
The last one is the fourth prince Mu Lingtian.
Eunuch Su is a smart man, even though he doesn't understand the relationship between the princes.
But from the way the four people stood just now, he could roughly guess it.
The Second Prince and the Fourth Prince stood relatively close to each other, but they did not speak.
Although the third prince had a smile on his face, his posture seemed neutral.
But in fact, his eyes were always on the prince, and it was obvious that he was on the prince's side.
That’s right, the Third Prince has no other abilities, but when it comes to dividing gangs, he is the best.
In his opinion, as long as he could grab the crown prince as a straw, he and his mother would no longer be bullied.
Eunuch Su could understand why he did this. After all, the third prince's mother, Concubine Xuan, was of humble origin.
If she hadn't been lucky enough to give birth to the Third Prince, how could she have ever been able to succeed?
But the prince was different. He was lucky and was born from Queen Shu Zhiyao's womb.
He was born with a halo and was domineering in the palace.
All this is because he has a noble birth.
So when he looked at the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince just now, the disdain in his eyes was not concealed at all.
Thinking of this, Eunuch Su shook his head helplessly.
"What's wrong with Eunuch Su?" the prince suddenly asked.
This question brought Eunuch Su back to his senses.
He quickly said respectfully: "The emperor has been feeling unwell recently. When we have dinner later, please say some nice words to comfort him."
"I thought it was something else? Just this? Even if Eunuch Su didn't say it, we would have done it." The third prince quickly agreed.
In the past, if the emperor summoned a prince to see him alone, Eunuch Su would always give him a few words of advice.
As time went by, Eunuch Su's status among the princes gradually increased.
In the past, Eunuch Su basically gave more instructions to the Crown Prince.
But after thinking about what the emperor had just ordered him to do, Eunuch Su took another deep look at the fourth prince at the back.
He had been following the emperor for quite some time, and he could probably guess the emperor's intention from any random action he took.
Previously, he always thought that the emperor was a little biased and was unwilling to accept reality.
I don’t know if it was the Fourth Prince’s words that woke him up and made him willing to accept things that he was normally unwilling to accept.
No, it should be said that it was Jian Xiu's words that woke him up.
Even an old man like him could see the prince's ambition, so how could the emperor not see it?
In the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Sure enough, as soon as he sat down, the Crown Prince started to confront the Fourth Prince.
"Fourth brother, I heard that you wrote a letter some time ago and asked Lord Zheng to take it to the border. Is this true?"
It seemed like a normal question, but everyone could hear the hidden meaning behind his words.
The frontier is a military area.
Normally, princes are not allowed to interfere.
Even the prince is no exception.
When Mu Lingtian, who was about to pick up some food, heard this, he quickly put down his chopsticks and whispered:
"Well, I have met my sister once before. Now that I know she is at the frontier, I just wrote a letter to say hello. Don't think too much, Your Highness!"
Mu Lingtian said the latter sentence very directly.
He didn't care about that position at all.
What he cared about was always the surname of this person.
He hoped that all the people of this world could live and work in peace and contentment and have enough to eat.
He didn't want them to be in the dire straits they were in now.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the prince's face changed immediately.
Seeing this, the third prince who was sitting next to the crown prince spoke.
"Fourth brother, what you said is wrong. What do you mean by don't think too much? The prince is just concerned about you."
As soon as he said this, Mu Lingtian knew that he had just spoken too quickly.
Just thinking about his sister in the topic, his prickly consciousness stood up.
After regaining his composure, he said, "I see. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."
"But fourth brother, when did you get to know Jian Xiu? How come we didn't know about it?" The prince asked curiously.
Nowadays, Jian Xiu and Zhang Zixuan are well-known not only in the imperial palace but also in the capital.
"Your Highness, we can only say it is fate!" Mu Lingtian said ambiguously.
After saying this, he continued to say to the prince: "This dish is good, Prince, you can try it. It has a sour taste and is very appetizing!"
Now that things have come to this, is there anything the prince doesn't understand?
He took back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Mu Junyou never opened his mouth about this, but he knew everything in his heart.
In fact, after a meal, he can probably figure out a lot of things.
Thinking of this, he raised his head and glanced in the direction of Mu Lingtian.
Then he turned his gaze back to the prince, for no other reason than that the prince was just picking up a piece of food for him with his chopsticks.
"Father, try this, it tastes really good!"
Looking at the food in the bowl, for a moment, Mu Junyou really didn’t know whether he should eat it or not.
He might not have thought so much about it before, but after this time, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked a lot of things.
...................................................................................................
Ten days later, Zhangjia Village.
Jian Xiu got on the horse again but this time he didn't set off alone.
Following behind her were Wang Xiuying, Zhang Chunhua and a group of people.
Even Jian Xiu herself did not expect that the emperor would personally issue an imperial decree for her to return to Beijing to receive the reward.
Come to think of it, if we really talk about military merit, her military merit is not less than that.
"Jian Xiu, if you ask me, we shouldn't join in the fun this time, right?" Qian Hongmei said with embarrassment.
The reason they can live like this today is all thanks to the nun in front of them.
However, no matter how capable she is, she is already a married woman. If she continues to care about her parents' family, people will gossip about her.
"Why are you joining in the fun? From what you are saying, it seems that everything I said to you before was in vain?" Jian Xiu said unhappily.
With their current power, they will definitely settle down in the capital.
Even if it doesn't happen now, it will definitely be necessary when the child needs to take science exams in the future.
Once he embarks on the road of imperial examinations, he will definitely serve as an official in the capital. In this way, he will definitely have a home in the capital.
