The Crown Prince’s New Female Staff

Xuande twenty-two years, in mid-April.

There was plenty of rain in the capital, and Qi Liangye stood in front of the mansion gate and watched the rain for a long time.

Tokugawa followed behind him with an umbrella in his hand, for fear that he would get wet.

At this time, Huo Shijun had just left the house and stood behind Qi Liangye, watching the rain with him.

"Xie Yu has been gone for a month?"

Qi Liangye asked, but his eyes were still fixed on the water droplets on the eaves.

"It's almost there" Huo Shijun can only say that, he glanced at Qi Liangye's expression slightly, and felt relieved when he realized that it was still normal.

Qi Liangye's good temper has always been towards Xie Yu, but as soon as the person left, his arrogance and ruthlessness were revealed, but fortunately, these temperaments would only attack the disobedient courtiers, and it was acceptable to the people around him.

"Mu Changbo spread the news yesterday that he was going to hand over the person to Zhao Prison for interrogation."

Huo Shijun told the news of Mu Changbo yesterday.

"He's an old fox, and the black cauldron dares to throw it on Gu's head."

Some time ago, Mu Changbo's direct son had beaten and scolded the maid at will in the mansion, causing a tragic incident. It would have been fine if Mu Changbo was covering up tightly, but Ge Meixiang, the president of the Women's Academy, noticed it.

Ge Meixiang killed his relatives righteously, and sued the government. Mu Changbo saw that the matter was getting bigger, so he had no choice but to make his son-in-law almost confess his guilt and spend some money to settle the matter.

But it was a coincidence that the details of the attendant beside him were not clean, and the judge of the government office checked it out because he felt that it was wrong. Who knew that this attendant was actually a person from the vassal king. It's not a good thing to have a relationship with the vassal king. Mu Changbo's intuition was wrong, so he thoroughly investigated the mansion. Who knows, he really found something.

This matter was directly in front of Qi Liangye. Seeing that he could not find anything in the trial, Mu Changbo simply played the crown prince and requested that the person be transferred to Zhao prison for another interrogation.

No matter what was found in the trial, or nothing was found in the trial, it was Zhao Prison's cauldron, and Mu Changbo wanted to get out.

Qi Liangye sneered and put his hands behind his back. Seeing that the rain had stopped, he took the umbrella from Tokugawa's hand and walked to the government affairs hall. Huo Shijun followed him step by step, followed by a group of guards far behind.

This scene looks like last year when Xie Yu first arrived at the mansion, Tokugawa looked at the backs of monarchs and ministers in the distance and snickered while covering his mouth.

The female officer on the side didn't understand what he was laughing at, so she asked a question, Tokugawa pointed out: "If you have concerns in your heart, people will live."

When Xie Yu was in the future, the entire Prince's Mansion was cold and cold, and Qi Liangye lived like a fairy, and now he has finally descended to earth.

The female official nodded, seemingly understanding, and accompanied him into the mansion gate.

On the way to the government affairs hall, Huo Shijun and Qi Liangye whispered slowly.

"This new wind is very powerful."

"They are smart, they see Gu's intentions, and they also know the momentum of the imperial examination reform."

This new trend refers to the new trend of women's study that has just emerged recently. It is an emerging trend of thought led by Ge Meixiang, the president of the Jingzhong Women's Academy, and the daughter of Uncle Mu Chang. It advocates the liberation of women themselves and strives for more rights and interests for women. Got a lot of criticism.

Now it is the reform of the imperial examination, the court and the people are all tolerant for a while, Qi Liangye hopes to see a new situation, and naturally acquiesces to Ge Meixiang's behavior, so Ge ​​Meixiang is also a good watcher. timing.

Especially Ge Meixiang's brother-in-law. Killing the maid violated the laws and regulations of Daqi. Ge Meixiang started from the law and directly raised the height of this case to reform. In a certain way, it impacted the power system of the family.

Based on this alone, Qi Liangye acquiesced to her behavior.

So the people in the court were observing the movements of Saibei and Qi Liangye's attitude towards the aristocratic family.

"The previous three years were finally not in vain."

Huo Shijun has been Qi Liangye's staff for a long time. He has been with Qi Liangye since he was fifteen years old.

A master and a servant, a friend, and a confidant.

From the East Palace to the Prince's Mansion, Huo Shijun almost watched Qi Liangye grow up, from a minister entering the palace to a high-ranking official in the court.

Qi Liangye, because of the rumors in the palace at that time, was not loved by the emperor and the queen. Since childhood, he has a cold temper and has little affection for his family. Since he was born a few years old, he has been sitting in front of the desk in the East Palace and studying hard. I felt that if I worked harder, I could get someone's love, but after so many years, the summer and the cold, from the school to the martial arts field, from a small carrot head to a towering tree, I didn't wait for a person to really care about him.

The emperor had no intention of government affairs, and when he was old, he slowly delegated power to him, but he didn't give much, just let him go to various departments to experience, and occasionally talk to him about the affairs of the government, and then he would never have anything to do with it again.

Since he was eleven or twelve years old, Qi Liangye has cultivated his own power consciously and unconsciously, because he found that he is the prince, but also a slave. In the next few years, Qi Liangye's heart was completely cold.

Until the emperor fell into a coma and Qi Liangye dismissed the cabinet, he went from watching the government in a mess, to slowly carrying the dynasty forward, and it was only a coup d'etat overnight.

This is Qi Liangye's fourth year in power, Xie Yu came, Wang Yue collapsed, the burden on his shoulders was slightly loosened, and it was time to think about other things.

Huo Shijun really felt that over the years, His Royal Highness could finally live for himself.

"It's not enough, I have to wait for her."

Waiting for her to come back, waiting for her heart, apart from the world, there is only one person left.

Huo Shijun was a step behind him and smiled at him, "It should be."

The corners of Qi Liangye's mouth twitched slightly, "Let's see how the current situation has developed."

He is the master of the situation, but can't wait to see what happens next.

.

"What kind of person do you say your lord is?"

Mei Liu was lying on the table, looking at the rain outside the window, and kicking the Taoist priest next to her, Min Chun was not angry, she patted the hem of her clothes slightly, and shook her head: "I don't know."

Xie Yu sent a letter to Qianjing in the past two days, asking the people at Qing Tomb to treat Mei Liu favorably, don't embarrass her, but don't let her get into trouble either.

"You don't know?" The girl looked at him in surprise, "How could you not know?"

Min Chun said helplessly: "Our lord's orders have always only followed orders. I am only one of the members of the Qing Tomb, and I haven't had any contact with the lord."

"That's because your level is not enough, you are a little errand."

Mei Liu put her chin on the table, and those eyes glanced at Min Chun with a smile. The man looked at her and smiled, "Don't say that, even if I'm an errand runner, you can't beat me."

Mei Liu snorted coldly, "You will go shopping with me tomorrow."

Min Chun said, "Okay, you pay the money yourself."

He is a little Taoist priest. He has been doing business in the capital for the past two years, but he has not saved much money, but he is reluctant to spend it.

"Who are you looking down on, really, look at our purse!"

The little girl immediately straightened her waist, lifted the fabric in front of her stomach, and sewed a stack of large-denomination silver bills on the red fabric.

"Buy it on the street tomorrow, my sister will pay for it!"

Min Chun immediately raised her eyebrows, squinted at her with her hands in her arms, "This is what you said, don't go back on it."

On the second day, it was still raining, Mei Liu and Min Chun both took an umbrella and walked slowly along the street corner.

Fortunately, the people of Ganjing love face, the streets are always paved with blue bricks, and they are not muddy in rainy days.

"I want to buy two ready-to-wear clothes. Miao Jiang's clothes look out of place here..."

Mei Liu stretched her fingers to count the things she was going to buy, tilted her head to look at Min Chun, but was caught off guard by someone bumping into her.

Min Chun quickly pulled Mei Liu aside. The person who bumped into the person was a woman in black with a book in her hand. She got wet in the rain. She apologized hastily, covered her head with her hands, and ran to a house on the other side of the street. store.

"Are you all right?" Min Chun lowered his head and asked the little girl beside him, but the little girl stared at the plaque hanging on the store and became interested.

"Women's Academy? What is that?"

Min Chun followed her line of sight and pursed her lips slightly, "Go and have a look?"

"Yeah."

Mei Liu nodded vigorously, the red skirt splashed with water droplets, she immediately ran to the opposite side, Min Chun strode behind her, and covered the green umbrella over her head.

After knocking on the door a few times, the woman in black just now opened the door wetly. Because of the rain just now, her hair and temples were all wet, and she was standing in front of the door in a bit of an embarrassment.

Seeing that it was the little girl who had bumped into him just now, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he asked, "What's the matter with you two?"

"Ah, we were just curious and wanted to come here to see,"

Mei Liu's eyebrows and eyes were curved, and she smiled like a little sun, which made the woman slightly stunned.

"Then come in."

Ge Meixiang stepped aside, and a man and a woman got in.

This place is considered to be a relatively remote alley in the capital. It is just right to build an academy in such a place. It is clean and dead, but it does not leave people.

"You are from this academy..."

Mei Liu turned slightly and asked the black-clothed woman in front of her.

"I am the chief of the mountain, and my surname is Ge."

"It turned out to be Chief Ge Shan."

This academy is no different from other academies. The academies are very clearly divided. Seeing that the two of them wanted to watch, Ge Meixiang led them to the corridor and the backyard.

"My academy has been open for more than a year, but this is the first time someone has come to see it."

Ge Meixiang chatted with the two while looking at the lotus pond surrounded by the corridor.

"Then you don't have students on weekdays?"

May Liu asked,

"There are, but they are all picked up by me."

"Ge Shan Changzhai has a kind heart."

Mei Liu just thought that the Women's Academy was just like the other academies, and was a little disappointed, so she wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, just as she was about to say goodbye, Ge Meixiang led the two to a bookstore.

The woman's slender fingers pushed open the door slightly, and the book full of books appeared in front of her eyes.

Mei Liu opened her mouth and looked at these books quietly, "Mountain... Mountain Chief, so many books"

"It's not too many. From ancient times to the present, although there are always people who like to write books about women's studies, they are regarded as the last books. It was not until I met Mr. Xie that day that I realized that there may not be such a thing in this world. woman."

Ge Meixiang looked at the stacks of books that were piled up to the ceiling, and sighed with emotion.
