The news of    Li Hao's departure from the palace soon reached Li Jing's ears.

   Li Jingzheng was discussing matters with the officials of the East Palace. After hearing about this, his expression did not change, he just nodded slightly: "I know about it."

   After the servant who reported the news withdrew, several officials of the Eastern Palace looked at each other and thought for a moment. Fang Zizhan was the first to open his mouth: "Your Highness, the intention to harm others is indispensable, and the intention to guard against others is indispensable."

   Zhou Li's words were even more direct: "The third prince must have a grudge against the East Palace because of Concubine Su's death. He won't do anything explicitly, I'm afraid he'll do it secretly. Your Highness needs to take precautions."

   After Zhao Rui and Li Yan entered the East Palace, they devoted themselves to planning for the prince. At this time, there were no outsiders, and they all said, "What they said is reasonable."

   "Your Highness, be careful."

  Sun Langzhong is a steady and steady person, and he doesn't talk much on weekdays. He stroked his sparse beard and said in a steady voice, "I think it's better to be quiet than to move. Your Highness, don't do anything for the time being, so as not to arouse the emperor's jealousy. His Royal Highness is the Prince of the East Palace, very prestigious in the court and the opposition, and known for his generosity and kindness. As long as your Highness is stable, you will be invincible."

   "His Royal Highness cherishes siblings, and often sends people to visit the Third Prince's Mansion to send some supplements. Let the emperor see that His Highness cherishes siblings' friendship."

  Ginger is indeed old and spicy.

  Li Hao "endured the humiliation and retreated", his elder brother had to "take care of his younger brother", which was full of justice, so that the Yongjia Emperor would be separated, and Li Hao had to suffer.

   What to do in private is another matter.

   Li Jing glanced at Sun Langzhong approvingly: "Sun Langzhong is right. I also plan to do the same."

  Sun Langzhong smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness has a plan, it's the minister who talks too much."

  …

   In the evening, Li Jing went to the Wenhua Hall.

  Emperor Yongjia called the ministers of the cabinet to discuss military merits, and after a whole day of deliberation, he was quite tired. Hearing that the prince was coming, Emperor Yongjia raised his eyebrows slightly, but there was no anger in his expression: "Let the prince come in!"

  Qiaoge Lao Luo Shangshu and others wisely surrendered.

  Li Jingmai stepped into the hall and passed by Mr. Qiao Ge. Old Qiao Ge calmly gave Li Jing a wink, and Li Jing nodded invisibly.

   Old Qiao Ge let out a sigh of relief after he left the Wenhua Palace. Turning to Luo Shangshu, he smiled and said, "It's not too late, how about a drink in Qiao's mansion?"

  Luo Shangshu readily agreed.

   Among the cabinet ministers, Luo Shangshu and Qiao Ge have the best personal friendship. They are also the prince and the grandfather, and their political stances are completely the same.

   Luo Shangshu knew what happened in the palace. Qiao Ge always invited him to "have a few drinks", in fact, to discuss how to deal with the dilemma of the East Palace.

   Old Luo Shangshu of Qiaoge walked out of the palace gate slowly, and got on the carriage of Qiaofu together. The coachman flicked his whip and swirled in the air, making a loud whip sound.

   The carriage moved forward gently.

   Old Qiao Ge said to Luo Shangshu in a low voice: "The emperor suddenly heard the news of Concubine Su's death, and his mood has not yet calmed down. If the three princes are interfering with it, the situation of the prince will not be easy in the future."

  Luo Shangshu sighed lightly: "This matter can't be rushed, it is the best policy to take care of it slowly."

   Old Qiao Ge stroked his beard, his eyes flashed, and his voice was still low: "I really can't be in a hurry. When I have time, I will go to the East Palace tomorrow and persuade the prince in private."

   Luo Shangshu nodded.

   In the Wenhua Hall, Li Jing bowed his hands and saluted: "My son has seen the father and emperor."

  Emperor Yongjia glanced over the long and calm crown prince, his mood was quite complicated, and he said lightly: "Between father and son, why do you need to be more polite, get up!"

  The father and son of the Tian family went on an expedition together and returned with a great victory. The whole world celebrated together. Such a happy event was diluted by the news of Su Fei's death. With Li Hao's silent tears, it was inevitable that Emperor Yongjia would be dissatisfied with the prince.

In the face of Emperor Yongjia's indifference, Li Jing did not panic. He bowed his hands and thanked him, got up, and said with concern: "My father has never had a good rest from yesterday to today. There are so many affairs in the court, and I will be busy one by one. Don't be too much. Overworked."

Emperor Yongjia said lightly: "I can still hold on. It's you who was seriously injured before. Although you will be raised for more than half a year, the internal injury may not be healed, so you might as well take a rest. In all matters in the court, I am here, You don't have to worry too much."

The meaning of the words    was to let Li Jing stay in the East Palace and not have to go to court anymore.

Li Jing kept calm and replied with a smile: "My father cares deeply for Gu Xierchen, and he is very grateful. However, Erchen's health is already in good shape, and he hides in the East Palace all day to be lazy, and he really has no such face. The tiring errands, the father and the emperor just leave it to the son, and the son is willing to share the worries for the father."

  Emperor Yongjia: "..."

  East Palace's wings have been completed, even he, the emperor, has to worry about the dignity of the East Palace, and cannot arbitrarily decree and deprive the East Palace of the right to participate in politics.

  Emperor Yongjia breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his expression darkened slightly: "You have such filial piety, how can I not fulfill you. Although I am in the prime of spring and autumn, it is time to build the imperial mausoleum. I will leave this matter to you."

  In the past dynasties, the emperor has built the imperial mausoleum since the day he ascended the throne. The imperial mausoleum project is huge, and it is not unusual for it to be built for several years or more.

  Ever since Emperor Yongjia established a new dynasty, he never stopped fighting. Now that the country is finally unified, it is also appropriate to build the imperial mausoleum at this time.

   Let the prince of a dynasty be in charge of repairing the imperial mausoleum, which is inevitably overkill.

   However, Emperor Yongjia opened his mouth in person, and Li Jing could not refuse, otherwise it would be disobedient and unfilial.

  Li Jing's expression did not change, and he bowed his hands in response: "My son, I will obey the will of the emperor."

   Now it is time to pass dinner. The father and son reunited after a long absence, and they should have had dinner together to talk about their goodbyes and enhance the relationship between father and son.

  Emperor Yongjia obviously didn't have such thoughts, and said casually: "I'm going to Yanxi Palace for dinner, you should retire first!"

  …

  Li Jing returned to the East Palace when it was dark.

   Queen Qiao was also there, and Lu Mingyu and Lu Mingyu were talking while hugging brother and sister Xuan. Seeing Li Jing coming back, Queen Qiao was a little surprised: "Did you go to the Palace of Culture before? Why didn't you accompany your royal father to dinner?"

  Li Jing said lightly: "My father is going to Yanxi Palace for dinner, and I'll be back."

  Queen Joe: "..."

   This cool wind blows faster than expected.

  Emperor Yongjia didn't leave Li Jing for dinner. He didn't go to Jiaofang Palace or the young and beautiful Wang Jieyu when he entered the harem. Instead, he went to Yanxi Palace.

   was clearly deliberately disgracing her as the queen and prince.

   Queen Qiao's heart seemed to be blocked by something, and her face was rather unsightly.

  Lu Mingyu and Li Jing glanced at each other, then said to Queen Qiao with a smile: "Since Your Highness is back, I will let someone pass the meal. The Queen Mother will also have dinner together in the East Palace! The more people eat, the more lively it is."

   Queen Qiao regained her senses and squeezed out a smile: "Alright. This palace is hungry, so I can eat more tonight."

   If you don't eat enough, how can you get angry!
