Chapter 270 Visit to Baiyuan to explore His Highness the Fifth Prince

At nightfall, Jiahe Juli had just laid out the food, and Zhao Shun hurried back to his house and sat down directly at the dining table.

"My lord, why are you back? I can't tell you in advance..."

Shen Qinglan was surprised. This guy always came and left in a hurry. Did he use his house as a restaurant?

"Aren't you happy that I'm back to have dinner with you?" Zhao Shun said with a smile.

"Okay……"

Shen Qinglan was not very happy, she only felt a little frightened.

Zhao Shun touched her little face, and when he was about to touch her head again, he found that there were too many people in the room, so he had to give up.

Yan'er took his bowls and chopsticks and left with the other little girls in the room.

"How is the repair of Jialanju going?" Zhao Shun asked.

"It has been repaired. When the Yingying Yanyan arranged by the queen mothers moves in, I will move out and make this Jiahe residence empty so that the prince can recruit new people." Shen Qinglan said.

Zhao Shun looked at Shen Qinglan and smiled, "Princess, are you jealous?"

"Your Majesty, jealousy and resentment are the fault of a woman's virtue. Although I am a merchant, and I am also the county head personally appointed by the late emperor, how can I not understand this little truth?"

Shen Qinglan deliberately emphasized the word "county lord". Zhao Shun knew that she was resentful because the Queen Mother only called her county lord instead of princess.

"Princess, the chef in the palace is the best at cooking fish. How about you try this fish?"

Zhao Shun took a piece of fish and put it in Shen Qinglan's bowl. Shen Qinglan glanced at him with a pout, took a bite and found that it was really good.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Zhao Shun asked with a smile.

"It's delicious. The fish is also very delicious. It seems that the steward in the palace is really diligent in purchasing it." Shen Qinglan said.

"How can you not do your best when working for the princess? I have specifically told you that you must not be careless about the food and clothing of the princess." Zhao Shun said.

Shen Qinglan smiled and put a shrimp into Zhao Shun's bowl.

"Your second brother gave me a difficult problem today at the Qinxian Palace. I'm going to pay a personal visit to His Highness the Fifth Prince soon," Zhao Shun said.

Shen Qinglan thought for a while, what kind of problem is it to visit Zhao Bai?

"Is it possible that the second brother wants Zhao Bai to go to various provinces to inspect taxes?"

"Yes, this is a good idea."

Zhao Shun said, broke off a small piece of rice cake and put it in his mouth.

"Well, let Zhao Bai go on tax inspection, what errands do you plan to arrange for His Highness?" Shen Qinglan asked.

"There is free time in the Ministry of Personnel, so I will arrange His Highness the Sixth Prince to go to the Ministry of Personnel, so that I, the regent, can have some free time. Although His Highness the Fifth and His Highness Six are not willing to inherit the throne, as long as errands are arranged for them, they will not

You will be negligent." Zhao Shun said.

"Well, this can temporarily reassure the Queen Mother. This is probably what my second brother had in mind."

"Yes, your second brother, even in the court, is always thinking of sharing your worries."

Zhao Shun smiled and said, "It's not easy to let His Highness go out."

Shen Qinglan nodded, "After all, you are only the regent, and Zhao Bai is the serious master of our dynasty. After the late emperor passed away, Zhao Bai became the eldest son. It is indeed difficult to make him go out to patrol the taxes."

-

After finishing dinner, Zhao Shun set off to Zhao Bai's residence, Baiyuan.

"Brother Wang, I really just want to be an idle prince, please let me go! You said, if I do this job well, the Queen Mother will inevitably be very jealous of me. If I don't do it well, I will be punished.

Officials from the DPRK and China are poking my back, why should I take this thankless job?"

Zhao Bai complained, he didn't want to go all the way to do this hard work.

Zhao Shun picked up a white piece on the chessboard, "In that case...then you want to stay in Kyoto?"

"Of course! Brother Wang, please help me!" Zhao Bai said.

"You stay in Kyoto and let the Sixth Prince go on tax inspection. What do you think the Queen Mother will think? Don't forget, the Queen Mother is still in the palace. You can come in and out at will, but she can't. Don't you think about her?

think?"

Although Zhao Shun's words were not threatening, Zhao Bai suddenly understood.

"Brother Wang, if I go to check the taxes, where will my sixth brother be?" Zhao Bai asked.

"I will arrange for the Sixth Prince to join the Ministry of Personnel. The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is old, and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is suspected of treason. Now the Ministry of Personnel is also in chaos, and we need someone to take charge of it. Anyway, it is these two errands, but I think you

It's more suitable to go out of Beijing." Zhao Shun said.

Zhao Bai sighed, "I hope Brother Wang will give more advice to the sixth brother. The sixth brother is the legitimate son, so it would be best for him to take on this important responsibility."

"His Highness the Sixth Prince also asked me to advise you carefully. You are the eldest son now, and he said that you are more suitable than him." Zhao Shun said.

"Brother Wang, the sixth brother is the emperor, which is what everyone expects. I don't want to go through all the obstacles and get into a position that I am not good at." Zhao Bai said.

"If you really want to fight for this position, it's not an exaggeration to say that you have to go through all the obstacles. That's all. The matter of tax inspections in each province has been decided. I'll leave first."

After Zhao Shun finished speaking, he stood up and left. Zhao Bai also stood up and watched him leave. He still had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start.

He lowered his head and took a look, only to see Zhao Shun place the white chess piece next to the black chess piece in the center.

Zhao Bai stared at the white piece for a long time, what does Brother Shun mean?

Do you want to seriously assist your sixth brother?

That must be it!

As expected of the good brother Wang whom I respect, he understands his thoughts better than others!

After Zhao Shun left Baiyuan, he returned to Linyuan.

Shen Qinglan has finished taking a bath and is reading a book.

"What are you looking at?" Zhao Shun asked.

Shen Qinglan didn't expect that he would come back today, and her eyes widened in confusion, "Didn't you go back to Ouchi?"

"It's so late and the palace door has been locked. Why should I go back?"

Zhao Shun said this and was about to move closer to Shen Qinglan.

Smelling his fragrance, she frowned unconsciously, "Where have you been? You smell so good?"

Zhao Shun didn't realize that there was any fragrance on his body, so he denied it: "No, I just went to His Highness the Fifth's house. I guess His Highness must have smelled some incense."

"Zhao Bai has reached the age to discuss marriage, but the Queen Mother is only looking for her own son." Shen Qinglan said casually.

"It will take at least three years before His Highness the Fifth and His Highness the Sixth can get married. The Queen Mother is too impatient and always wants to pave the way for her son." Zhao Shun said.

Shen Qinglan looked at Zhao Shun and asked, "Which one of them do you think is more suitable to be the emperor?"

Zhao Shun smiled and said, "Actually, neither of them are suitable, but with the pressure from the Queen Mother, His Highness the Sixth Prince will have no choice but to try his best to fight for it in the future. This will satisfy His Highness the Fifth Prince."

"I think you are the least suitable to be the regent. I really don't know what the late emperor thought." Shen Qinglan smiled.

"That's right. I don't think I'm suitable. I'm still suitable to stay with my family every day to avoid the pain of lovesickness." Zhao Shun said.
