Wishful Things

Before long, maybe there will be a second...

As for Sheng'er, after all, he didn't need to learn these things about government affairs, after all, he wouldn't be able to use them after all.

Besides, he is dull in talent, and he is not satisfactory in learning anything, and there is not much time left, so let him take it easy.

At this point in the matter, under the circumstances that he did not hinder himself, it was rare for Emperor Qingming to show some tolerance and kindness.

After the prince exited the imperial study and returned to the East Palace, his expression gradually changed.

What did the words that the father and the new Zhongshu Sheren said... mean?

Father thinks that General Xu is too old to lead the army to fight?

But he had clearly met General Xu not long ago. The general was in good health, with great energy and spirit. He clenched his fan-like palms into fists. He even felt that he could kill a cow with one blow. He really admired and envied him.

What's more, didn't General Xu just fight a beautiful victory last year?

Or, the so-called "advanced age" is just an excuse for the emperor...

I don't know what I thought of, the boy's eyes changed again and again.

He has not been in contact with many political affairs, and his vision of looking at things may not be so unique, but since last year's empress's birthday banquet, when facing his father's words and deeds, he can't help but have more pondering and guessing...

Even, he, who was the least good at hiding his emotions, has now learned to act in front of his father, and has mastered the essence relatively proficiently.

"Your Highness, what are you thinking?"

Looking at His Royal Highness who was pacing back and forth, the little eunuch asked curiously.

The prince thought for a while, and said: "I... I had a dream when I was sleeping in the imperial study today..."

The little eunuch said "ah..."

Your Highness is sleeping in the imperial study? Still dreaming?

Could the imperial study be a place to sleep?

The little eunuch looked at his highness with some worry, but he started the words, so he could only ask: "Then what dream did your highness have?"

"I dreamed that... the empress's fortune was lost!" The prince said, "No, I have to tell the empress, if the cat really disappears, the empress will be sad..."

The little lady became even more worried about listening.

His Highness even dreamed of doing such unserious things at all, it's hard to say what to say.

Seeing that the boy was already walking out, the little eunuch hurried to follow.

When the prince came to Yukun Palace, the queen was reading a book on the couch in the inner hall, the big fat tabby cat on her lap was snoring evenly, and the queen's empress even turned the pages very lightly.

As for the legs, they were already sore and numb, but they still didn't dare to move.

At this time, the palace maid came in to report that the prince had come, so she put down the book in her hand, straightened her appearance, and said, "Your Highness, please come in."

When the prince came in, what he saw was the empress sitting there. The cat on her lap seemed to have just woken up, yawning and stretching.

"Shouldn't Your Highness be going to the Imperial Study to accompany His Majesty in council today?" The queen asked with a smile.

"I went, but my father asked my son to come back early."

The prince took the teacup from Gong'e, held it in his hand, and said in a low voice: "I am here because I have something important to remind my empress, which is about Tianfu, but the secret of heaven must not be revealed, and it should not be known by too many people..."

The queen was a little surprised.

...What's the matter with this sudden feeling of a fortune teller coming to your door to coax money?

But seeing the boy's serious attitude, the queen also cooperated with the dismissal of several palace servants, leaving only Nanny Jiang.

"Your Highness, you can talk about it now—is there any problem with my Tianfu?"

Unexpectedly, the boy's face turned red, and he said in a shameful tone: "Go back to your mother, Tianfu is very good, it's because I want to ask your mother for help, so I lied about Tianfu..."

The tabby cat on the side gave a "meow", and ran out with a leisurely attitude of "Oh, that's all right", flicking its tail.

"Oh? But what difficulties did you encounter?" the queen asked softly.

But what is the difficulty that needs her to help?

And to cover up like this——

Could it be that the emperor is no longer a man?

Thinking of the impeccable acting skills of the boy just now, the queen couldn't help sighing in her heart—look at how the dog emperor forced the child...

"I don't know if there is any paper and pen here, Madam?" The prince asked with a complicated expression.

"There are pens and paper." The queen looked at him, her tone was still gentle: "But Your Highness needs to tell me first, what is the use of these pens and papers?"

Now that she has found her here, she still needs to ask about it.

The prince hesitated for a moment, but finally said: "I want to send a letter to Duke Zhen... I want to ask my mother to help me."

Ever since he was pushed into the water by the eunuch whom he had trusted since childhood, he could no longer trust anyone in the East Palace.

"Why do you suddenly want to send a letter to Duke Zhen?" The queen lowered her voice and asked seriously, "Did you hear something in the imperial study?"

The four eyes met for a moment, and the prince clenched his fingers.

After a while, he nodded slightly.

After repeating the conversation he heard today, the boy said in an uncomfortable tone: "I don't understand many things, but I still feel that... I should tell General Xu."

General Xu was the person he respected the most, and Miss Xu was the one who saved his life and knew his biggest secret.

The queen nodded slightly.

It's time to say...

In this conversation, what was involved was really as simple as "borrowing soldiers"...

Although this is almost a dead end for the Xu family, but if you say it in advance, General Xu can make some preparations.

But having said that, one emperor is enough for everyone, why now there is another Zhongshu Sheren who shares the emperor's stink?

"However... Why did His Highness choose to tell this palace about such things?" The queen asked, looking at the boy.

Facing an emperor who is not a man, she even has reason to suspect that this child was sent by the emperor to test her...

"I couldn't think of anyone else who could help me. I thought of my mother, so I came here immediately..."

It's a bit strange to say that although the empress is the lord of the six palaces, in his heart, she is always different from other people in the palace.

Sometimes he even felt that the empress should not be in this palace.

And to say something disrespectful, he still feels that his father is not good enough for his empress...

If the father was not the current emperor, I am afraid that he would not even be able to touch the corner of the empress' clothes.

Over the past year or so, he seemed to have gradually begun to understand why the patriarchs of the great families no longer looked down on the royal family at all.

But at this point, the boy who calmed down gradually realized that something was wrong with his trip——
