Prince Regent's Concubine

Chapter 115 The character design has collapsed

The emperor had held back his anger in the last court, and the emperor couldn't vent it to others, so he left in a huff after the court.

He was angry, but the two people in the Prince Regent's House were very relaxed.

Today, the back kitchen bought a lot of mutton and came back, but the cook of the palace is not very good at making mutton, and the smell of mutton can't be removed. Ling Qingshi ate it once before and didn't like it very much.

Later, the servants of the palace stopped buying mutton.

But it's either Ming or Winter Solstice. It's a custom to eat mutton during the Winter Solstice, so I bought it one day in advance, so that the cook can study how to get rid of the smell, so that the princess can like mutton. .

Duobao found out about this after walking around the mansion twice, and then came to report to Ling Qingshi.

After hearing this, Ling Qingshi decided to make a living by himself.

He went to the back kitchen to clean up the mutton to remove the fishy smell, and asked the cook to cut the meat into pieces and marinate it with seasoning.On the other side, he ordered his servants to set up a barbecue grill in the courtyard.

There are only two masters in this mansion, but the prince has never been involved in these things, so now the princess basically has the final say, what he wants to do, the servants naturally dare not neglect.

Once the grill was set up, Ling Qingshi asked his servants to skewer the mutton with bamboo sticks. In addition to the mutton, Ling Qingshi also asked the cook to cut up many other meats and vegetables, put them all on skewers, and grill them on the grill.

Ling Qingshi grilled a few skewers of mutton by himself, and they tasted alright, so he left it to the cook. He and Xiao Chuyi drank tea and ate skewers, life was not happy.

In the middle of the barbecue, Uncle Wu said that many courtiers came outside the door, saying they came to visit the prince.

Ling Qingshi glanced at the prince who was eating skewers quickly and neatly, and discussed with him, "Why don't you go back to bed and lie down?"

Xiao Chuyi laughed, and said to Uncle Wu, "Let them come in, bring them here directly."

Uncle Wu took orders to go, and then Xiao Chuyi asked people to take away the skewers in front of him, and put a bowl of chicken soup that had been kept warm in the kitchen in front of him. He did not forget to tell Ling Qingshi, "Princess, remember Let someone leave some for the king."

Ling Qingshi: "..." My lord, are you out of character?

No one else knows whether the prince's design collapsed or not, but the ministers who entered the door did not say a few words about their business, and they were all greeted and eaten.

This skewer is really good, especially the mutton has no smell at all, plus there are many people, and they are all acquaintances, who know everything, don't worry about face, you are fighting for me happily.

This string is consumed quickly, and the adults are happy to eat, so they forget about the business.

When they were full, they would drink some tea or red fruit water. These adults also showed a satisfied expression, thinking that the prince would not go to court, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with living such a life at home every day.

But fortunately, I just want to think about it, if I really don't go to court every day, I won't be able to live such a stable life.

They told me what happened in the court, Xiao Chuyi didn't react much after hearing it, and just let them go back, he won't go to the court for the time being, and they don't want to go to the palace often in the future, Let's talk about it after a year.

These people can't guess what Xiao Chuyi is thinking, and they can't ask, but fortunately, they have followed this prince for so many years, as long as he has always been successful, they don't say anything more. Drank enough and went home.

After the person left, the skewer left alone for the prince was brought up, and the prince continued to enjoy it with the chicken soup.

Ling Qingshi looked at him with his chin propped up, "I think it won't be long before those people in the palace know that these people have come to see you."

"They are my king's people, so what if they know?" Xiao Chuyi didn't hide that he still had confidants in the court.

Ling Qingshi said: "I'm afraid he will be pissed off."

If there is no schadenfreude on his face, maybe someone will believe it.

"Let him go," Xiao Chuyi said indifferently, now he doesn't want to be a good uncle, so he doesn't care if he is mad or not.

Xiao Jingheng did know about this, and got very angry in the bedroom, but he kept it a secret and no one knew.

Not only did the emperor know about the fact that the courtiers gathered to visit the regent's mansion, but even the queen mother knew about it.

Taihui is really sick. She is over forty years old, and she is not young in this era. In addition, she has been worrying about the Ling family's affairs for a while, but in the end she has to solve the Ling family by herself. , I feel depressed, but I am not a patient.

But even if she was ill, the news from the outside was not short. The Queen Mother was recuperating in the Jianing Palace while watching the emperor's jokes.

After hearing the news from the dark guard, the queen mother stretched out her hand to let the nanny beside her help her up, and then chuckled, "This son of the Ai family has a scheming plan, but it's faster to tear down the bridge when crossing the river. When Xiao Chuyi dealt with Aijia, he immediately caught his attention. He didn't think about it, if Xiao Chuyi was so easy to deal with, wouldn't Aijia have the upper hand after fighting against him for so many years? "

"The Ai family knows that he values ​​the hearts of the people, but he forgot that with the hearts of the people and without the hearts of the courtiers, the world is still difficult to govern."

Mammy waited until the queen mother had finished speaking before opening her mouth, "The emperor is still too young."

"Why don't you, ma'am?" The nanny hinted to the queen mother.

The Queen Mother smiled, "It's not yet time, not to mention that people in this world look down on women, Ai Jia's coming forward now will help him win people's hearts."

"Aijia will only be able to come forward when he has no way out to beg Aijia. Naturally, no one dares to say anything about Aijia who the emperor himself came to beg for."

During these days, the queen mother has changed her mind, from seizing the throne to listening to the government behind the curtain. After all, this is easier than seizing the throne.

"By the way, how did the investigation go?" The Queen Mother suddenly changed the subject.

Mammy shook her head lightly, "There is no news yet, it is well hidden and there are many guards, so it is impossible to tell whether it is true or false."

The queen mother was a little unhappy, but she didn't get angry, but continued to ask, "What about outside the palace, have you found the evidence left?"

The mother said: "When the house was raided, our people followed. Apart from the gold and silver treasures, only a few letters and two account books were found in the house. The letters are evidence of corruption and bribery. Our people did not move, and the account books were brought back. Already, do you want to see the empress?"

The queen mother refused, because she knew what was written in the ledgers. Those ledgers were the evidence that Ling He had raised money for her over the years. The queen mother said: "It's ready, those are the confidence of the Ai family."

"Yes, empress, don't worry, the servant will not let you find it."

Except for hearing a joke from the emperor, the queen mother didn't get anything useful, so she waved her hand, "Help Ai's family to rest, Ai's family is exhausted."

As soon as the person lay down on the couch, a eunuch came to report, "Empress Dowager, the emperor is here and wants to see you."
