When Lin Daiyu was in harmony with her family, Shui Jue was also happily teasing the children in the room.Now that the prince is able to crawl, Shui Jue laid a thick carpet in the prince's room with various toys on it, allowing the prince to crawl around freely.When she was in the mood, she would take off her shoes and sit on the carpet to tease the prince.

"What is this?" Prince Zhongshun ate and drank with Jiangnan officials all day long, and finally got tired of it, and now he also came back to play with the prince... No, watch the prince play.Since he took off his shoes, the man's feet smell a bit strong. Every time he enters this room, he has to take a shower and change clothes. Because he finds it troublesome, he doesn't come here often.

As soon as I came today, I watched the prince change to a new toy.In the past, they were all kinds of puppets, or small animals made of jade -- of course, they were all made in a large size, so as not to be accidentally sent into the mouth by the prince.Why is it a block today? The prince is focusing on building it up. It really looks like a small house.

"Building blocks, from overseas, are said to make children smarter." Shui Jue patted the prince's little hand when he put the building block in his mouth, and the prince babbled a few times, and continued to build the blocks , "However, our country has had this thing for a long time, but there are not so many specific ways to play it."

Prince Zhongshun curiously picked up the building block and looked at it, and suddenly black lines appeared.Although the building blocks come in various shapes, the mold is a square jade seal with a few pieces missing.Prince Zhongshun also once thought about the throne--although he gave it up soon, Yuxi also carefully looked at it secretly, so he will never admit his mistake.

So the little prince built a house with a bunch of fake wooden jade seals?Prince Zhongshun felt dizzy and stuffy in his chest.

"Does it look like it? I wanted to make it directly out of jade, but the jade was a bit heavy, so I was afraid it would fall and hit him, so I had to make it out of wood." Shui Jue shook the building blocks, and said in a regretful tone, "It was originally by the way. Let's train him to catch Zhou Li, but now I don't know if it will work."

"Hehe..." Prince Zhongshun felt that he was really not suitable for playing with children, so he might as well go to see the oiran dance with him.What was the oiran's name last time?He's in pretty good shape.Although the group of salt merchants were not very good at heart, their taste was still very good.

Shui Jue gave Prince Zhongshun a white look: "Fifth brother, you go out to play every day, have you seen any tricks?"

Prince Zhongshun lifted his clothes and sat down cross-legged, and said with a smile: "Don't say it, you really see something famous. The salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are also divided into territories. There are three most powerful salt merchants, one named Liu, one named Li, There is another family surnamed Wang. I won’t talk about the family surnamed Wang, Chang Rui, you know better than me. The family surnamed Liu is a piece of grass, and gave a lot of money to... the second brother and the eldest brother, and now the fourth brother After ascending the throne, he eagerly came up to him again, not knowing whether he was too smart or too stupid."

"The people from the Li family are very close to the Zhen family, so it may be difficult to get off the big brother's boat now. The other salt merchants are not as good as these three, and they are not qualified to play with me."

Shui Jue pulled his finger out of the crown prince's mouth, the prince shook his head, jumped on it, grabbed Shui Jue's hand, then bit it quickly, grinding Shui Jue's finger with the only millet tooth in his mouth , and then innocently looked at Shui Jue.Shui Jue said happily, "Are you hungry, or are your new teeth itchy?"

"I just fed it, so it's probably an itchy tooth." The nanny hurriedly brought the herbal bag for the prince's teeth, and replaced Shui Jue's fingers.The prince didn't seem to be used to the smell of the herbal bag, so he spat out the herbal bag with a "peh bah" and continued to chase Shui Jue's hand.Shui Jue patted the prince's forehead, and the prince fell to the ground like a little turtle, his fleshy limbs scratched for a long time, but he couldn't get up. Shui Jue covered his mouth laughing out loud.

Prince Zhongshun kept looking at the black lines. Does this girl have the most basic respect for the prince?Probably not... To Shui Jue, the prince is just a nephew?Tsk tsk, what a relief.

"I think that the salt merchant surnamed Liu wouldn't be so stupid if the business can grow so big. If neither party is offended, it means that both parties are offended. No matter how much money he sends, no matter which prince ascends the throne, his The money is all in vain." Shui Jue helped the prince to turn over the turtle, and the prince seemed to think that this was a very fun game. Under the terrified eyes of the nurse, he lay down and looked at Shui Jue with a smile, as if Let Shui Jue continue to help him turn over.

Shui Jue continued to play the turtle turning game with the prince, "I will focus on the investigation, and those salt merchants who are temporarily out of business can also help me to look, anyway, fifth brother, don't you call yourself the absurd prince? So no Follow the etiquette, isn't it normal to find some salt merchants to play with?"

Prince Zhongshun touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "Although I said it myself, why do I always feel that you are mocking me when you say it? Come on, I will continue to inquire about the news for you, and I will leave the analysis to you I can't do it."

"Fifth brother is too modest, brother is very aware of his talents, otherwise he wouldn't have made a special trip for fifth brother." Shui Jue picked up the prince who turned over and was addicted, and tossed it up under the nanny's collapsed gaze. He caught the dangerous game again, "Children are quite fun, much better than Daiyu back then, as expected of my brother's child. Brother Wu, you should have children too, right? Do you think your child is fun?"

The corner of Prince Zhongshun's mouth twitched.Whose parents have nothing to do with their children?Whose parents would use fun to evaluate their children?But speaking of it.Prince Zhongshun now has two daughters and one son, and even that son only looked at him a few times when he was born, not to mention playing, he never even hugged him.But this is also the norm for men in this era.Therefore, Prince Zhongshun's impression of his own children is "very well-behaved and not noisy", and he really has no impression of others.

Seeing Prince Zhongshun like that, Shui Jue knew that this person was obsessed with flowers every day and didn't care about his children.Maybe, he couldn't even remember the appearance of his own children in his mind.However, Shui Jue, as a younger sister, is not good at talking about the matter in Prince Zhongshun's mansion, so she changed the subject and said, "When Brother Wu goes back, let's give me a nephew with Sister-in-Law. Let my sister also have more playmates." .”

Do you mean playmates or toys?Prince Zhongshun continued the black line, he joked: "Sister, you are not married yet, are you ashamed to talk about these topics?"

Shui Jue hugged the "giggling" prince and kissed him, saying, "Fifth brother is not ashamed, why should I be ashamed?"

Prince Zhongshun really wanted to ask this question back, but Shui Jue was not ashamed, so why was he ashamed?But what he wants to ask more is, how did brother Huang cultivate Shui Jue to be like this?But even if you ask Brother Huang about this, Brother Huang will definitely show off how successful his education is and how excellent and perfect Shui Jue is.Just thinking about it, Prince Zhongshun felt very heartbroken.

Prince Zhongshun, who felt that he was defeated, immediately got up and said goodbye, looking out of sight and out of mind.After Shui Jue got up to see her off, she continued to sit on the ground and play with her nephew.

"Princess, this is too disrespectful to the prince." The nanny finally couldn't bear it anymore and whispered.

"You look strange, it seems that you are not the nanny chosen by your brother?" Shui Jue patted the prince's back and asked with a smile.

The nurse hurriedly said: "The servant is the newly elected nurse, the princess may not have seen the servant before."

"Ben Gong knows that you are newly selected. What I mean by this is that you don't seem to be the nanny chosen by my brother?" Seeing that the prince was sleepy, Shui Jue let him take a nap in his arms, ignoring the nanny Mama wanted to take over the child's action, "Could it be that my sister-in-law chose it?"

The nanny hurriedly said: "This servant is newly added because of the sudden illness of one of the nanny accompanying His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Oh, I'll just say it." Shui Jue smiled and nodded.

Mother Li hurriedly said with a smile on her face: "There are so many people serving the prince, how can the princess know everyone. What mother mother said is that the princess should also pay attention to the rules. His Royal Highness is not only your nephew, but also your nephew. Prince of a country."

"What Li Nanny said is true." Shui Jue picked up the prince, "I will take the prince to take a nap for a while, you stay outside the door and don't come in."

"Princess, this is not in compliance with the rules." The nanny hurriedly stopped her.

Shui Jue gave Nanny a haughty look, and walked towards the back room on her own.

"Li Nanny, this..." Nanny looked at Li Nanny with a troubled expression.

Nanny Li sighed: "The princess's temper, the old slave also has nothing to say. Nanny, go out first, don't make the princess unhappy."

Nanny also lamented, but got up and followed Li Nanny to go out.

When Shui Jue closed the door of the back room, he looked back.The well-behaved nanny is actually very young, in her early twenties, but her clothes are a little old-fashioned.Most of the prince's nannies are between 27 and 100 to [-] or [-] years old. They are younger and in better health. The prince can feel at ease drinking the milk of these people.There are nearly a hundred selected and selected nurses in the Tai's womb. After all, Shuijing only has one child now, and the nurses raised in the palace will always be there to raise them regardless of whether there are children in the palace.This group of more than [-] nurses all revolved around the prince, hoping that the prince would eat their milk, so that even if they didn't get the status of the prince's close servant, they would get a lot of rewards anyway.

The prince also brought a dozen or so nurses with him on this trip, except for the five commonly used, the rest are spares—if the nurses feel a little uncomfortable, the prince cannot drink the milk.Naturally, Shui Jue would not look at those alternative nurses every day.So it's normal for someone you don't know to pop up out of nowhere.

Also normal?Shui Jue smiled.

This person kept a low profile for a long time, and she didn't even know there was such a person.Shui Jue didn't care when he saw unfamiliar people around the prince.Even if they are reliable servants, it is impossible for Shui Jue to know everyone.It's just that everyone is in his own hands, even if he doesn't know each other, but the people under Shui Jue who manage people always know.

Shui Jue thought that if something went wrong, someone would report it to him.But this is because he saw that this person behaved differently in front of him than other people, so he became suspicious, which made Shui Jue very annoyed.

The accompanying people all knew that this was not Prince Zhongshun's concubine son, but the prince's.Even the Empress Dowager and the Supreme Emperor were kept in the dark about this matter, so naturally the people accompanying them were particularly trustworthy.Then, these people also know Shui Jue's true face and Shui Jue's status in front of Shui Jing.So this person seems very out of place in every word and deed.

For Prince Zhongshun, that is, that nanny is the only normal person.Others, either have learned to ignore, or have been completely brainwashed by Shui Jue, thinking that whatever Shui Jue does is right.

This time, Shui Jue asked the prince's usual nanny to pretend to be sick and let this person serve her.Sure enough, there was something wrong with a few words.

The loyal servants I chose, even if they were substitutes later, would never dare to speak to myself like this.

So who is this person?Shui Jue tucked up the quilt for the prince.

Is it the eldest brother, or the father?

But no matter who it is, since they found out, they must die.Even if he is the father's person, can he still not be able to deal with an unknown slave?

And the person around me who didn't report the knowledge should also be beaten.However, these things were all done by Nanny Li and the other big maids. If Shui Jue had to do even such trivial things by herself, then she would be too aggrieved as a princess.

So this time I tried it myself, I am very unhappy.Shui Jue accidentally crushed the prince's favorite rattle.Shui Jue quickly destroyed the body and wiped out all traces, and ordered his servants to make an identical one for his nephew.Although this nephew usually doesn't cry or fuss, but when he cries, it's really magical, making people overwhelmed.

..................................

After Shui Jue tried it out, she ignored it.During this period of time, there were many fewer people in the entourage, and some people were added. Generally speaking, there seemed to be no change.

Prince Zhongshun broke out in a cold sweat, hesitated at the door of Shui Jue for a long time, but went back.He thought, since Shui Jue didn't tell him, he just pretended not to know.After all, Shui Jue was in charge of everything about the prince and all the servants, and he was just a pretense to bring Shui Jue and the prince out.It is not wise to know too much about things.

Without an unfamiliar nanny, the prince can still eat, sleep and play.Today, Shui Jue was reading Shui Jing's letter, while the prince was sitting on her lap tearing up paper and playing.Shui Jue couldn't help but smile when he saw the rage in Shui Jing's letter.Fortunately, that person was one of Concubine Zhen's thorns in the palace, if it was Emperor Father's person, I really don't know how it would end.In this way, the obedient mask on the surface of the two of them was suddenly broken - such a big matter, they never informed the Supreme Emperor, so it can be seen that Shui Jing and Shui Jue are definitely guarding against the Supreme Emperor.

This person belonged to Prince Zhongyong. Although it made Shui Jue and the prince much more dangerous, it was much easier to deal with later.Chen Ning'an took advantage of the line of placing a nanny to pull out many hidden staff of Concubine Zhen, and Concubine Zhen's control over the palace was much weaker.But the person who dereliction of duty was not bribed, it was just a momentary negligence that led to a big mistake, and he was afraid of punishment, so he took chances to cover up his guilt.After all, if this is just an ordinary nanny, maybe Shui Jue won't pay more attention when he comes back, and he will even hide it.

In fact, Concubine Zhen didn't know that the prince was smuggled out of the palace, but she just heard that Shui Jue was going to leave the palace, so she arranged for Prince Zhongshun's son to choose a nanny to go on the road with him.What she wanted to investigate was actually the whereabouts of Prince Zhongshun.Although Prince Zhongshun appears to be incompetent, he is currently the only prince entrusted with important tasks by Shui Jing.Shui Jing's ascension to the position of emperor has already shown that he must have kept a low profile before, and his power must not be weak.Prince Zhongshun was also low-key before, so it was easy for people in the court to think that Prince Zhongshun must also hide his strength and bide his time, and the two had already formed an alliance.

Most of Shuijing's forces are in the capital, but there are also many supporters of Shuijing outside the capital. Naturally, these people were run by someone before, and this person should naturally be Prince Zhongshun.Brother support is very common in every emperor.Among the Tian family, the most distrustful is the brother, but the most trusted is also the brother.Prince Zhongshun should be Shui Jing's "assistant prince".So this time Prince Zhongshun came out of Beijing, although it was under the banner of sightseeing, everyone knew that this was to find out for Shui Jing.

In fact, the guesses of the elites in the court are correct. Prince Zhongshun has indeed belonged to Shui Jing's faction, and Shui Jing does have a "assistant" who is very trustworthy and has great power. This time The purpose of leaving Beijing is indeed to find out.It's just that the "assistant" is not the prince, but the princess.This point, I am afraid no one can imagine.

Who made Shui Jue a woman?So no one will think of her.Prince Zhongshun became Shui Jue's shield. Although all the things Shui Jue did were not made public, rumors definitely leaked out.And this "person behind" will be considered by everyone to be the loyal and obedient prince who hides deep.

In this regard, Prince Zhongshun said that his contribution is really not that great, and it is really not that important to Shui Jing.

But even Princess Zhongshun thinks that her husband is the "assistant" - after all, most women only focus on the backyard, don't care about men's affairs, and naturally know less.Everyone around Prince Zhongshun thought so, let alone others.

So it was only natural that Prince Zhongyong placed him among the people who left the capital.If he can take this opportunity to enter Prince Zhongshun's mansion and stay beside this bastard who is obviously loved by Prince Zhongshun, more news will spread.

It was a surprise to find out that the child was actually the crown prince, but even though she got in, the nanny who had already left Beijing couldn't find a chance to spread the news. Even in Jinling, she had no chance to contact the Zhen family— —In order to protect the prince, the people around the prince are under strict supervision, and there is no one around her who is useful to help deliver the news.Originally, he was planning to go back to the capital and spread the news. If he could stay with the prince, it would be a great contribution.

What I didn't expect was that this person was personally selected by Shui Jue and Shui Jing. Her very normal and well-behaved behavior made her exposed and lost her life.

Prince Zhongyong and Concubine Zhen would only keep their grudges on Prince Zhongshun. From their point of view, it was Prince Zhongshun who found out about this matter and reported it to Shui Jing before clearing out their people in the palace.

Prince Zhongshun once again took the blame for Shui Jue.

Well, this is not a scapegoat, it is a credit.

..................................

After pulling out the nails, Shui Jue also began to focus on business.She went out of Beijing this time, in addition to inquiring about the movements of the Jiangnan officialdom after the new king ascended the throne, but also to personally inspect the affairs of the Yanzheng.

Hegong and Yanzheng are the same thorns in the hearts of the kings of the past, just like the frontier.The person in charge of Hegong is a high-ranking and upright official who doesn't care about oil and salt. His temper was so angry that the Supreme Emperor once couldn't help but hit him on the head with an inkstone.But even if he was so angry, the Supreme Emperor still let him take care of the river worker, which shows his trust in him.Of course, he also manages well.In the past few years, the Yellow River has not broken its embankment again, which shows its ability.It is said that the man determined to make the Yellow River clean when he was very young. After he was admitted as a Jinshi, he resigned and went to sea to find ways to control the river in various countries.Ten years later, he returned to China and entered the Ministry of Industry.Shui Jue is very interested in this person, and will go to meet him when he is free.

Because the Yanzheng is located in the most fertile south of the Yangtze River, the issues involved are the most complicated.The people who were placed in the salt administration by the Supreme Emperor were similarly recalcitrant. Although Lin Ruhai was stubborn and pedantic, this kind of person was suitable for the salt administration.He never interferes with official affairs with his own preferences and personal feelings, but sometimes his vision is a bit poor, otherwise he would not recommend Jia Yucun.

And because the south of the Yangtze River is the most complicated, the Yanzheng did nothing wrong, but in terms of performance, it was much worse than the Hegong.But as long as salt is still making huge profits, this kind of thing cannot be avoided.

Coincidentally, Shui Jing obtained a new salt production law, which, if implemented, could solve the problem of salt administration from the root.It's just that it involves a lot, so Shui Jue was asked to explore the way.

Shui Jue has been arguing about this for a long time. The officialdom in Jiangnan is already complicated enough. Shui Jing is still thinking about the Yanzheng. Do you really think she has superpowers?Shui Jing coaxed Shui Jue for a long time, saying that he was just scouting the way and not doing anything, so he coaxed Shui Jue, and let Shui Jue continue to do white work for him muttering.

Again, Shui Jue is indeed quite pitiful. She has made such great contributions, but she can't get a reward, and outsiders will never know her achievements.But in this way, she will never surpass the master with her achievements.

Shui Jue was quite satisfied with this.Can satisfy one's desire for power| without being jealous, is there anything better than this?From this point of view, the position of women in this world is particularly unbearable.It was because she had a good birth and a good brother that she felt this way.

The salt government has always been in close collusion with the officialdom.Even though Lin Ruhai has been here for two years, he is still powerless to the salt merchants sometimes.Officials of the Salt Administration have always been the fastest to change.Before Lin Ruhai, many officials were defeated or dragged into the water.If there are huge profits, some people will naturally take risks.Shui Jue can imagine how many salt merchants will go crazy when his brother stabs the knife to the foundation of the salt government.

It's just that the madness is only temporary. As long as salt becomes a commodity like rice and noodles, even if there is profit, it will not become such a huge force as salt merchants.There have always been powerful grain merchants, but unless there is a catastrophe or a famine, the grain merchants will not have the ability to dominate the officialdom.

Of course, in the year of catastrophe and famine, the imperial court can also adjust grain from other places.But there are only a few places that produce salt, which is also the arrogant capital of salt merchants.

Needless to say, the Wang family who became a great salt merchant was Wang Yi.Wang Yi has already used a new salt-making method, and the output of natural salt is more and more refined than other salt merchants.Coupled with the support of Shui Jing and Shui Jue, he entered Jiangnan as a sea merchant, and shocked the salt merchants in Jiangnan with his abundant funds and extensive contacts.Because the place where the salt is made is on the coast, it is very easy to keep it secret.The people who followed Wang Yi were all old people from Prince Rui's Mansion. They knew that the salt merchants would decline sooner or later, so it was even more impossible for them to be bought by the salt merchants' small favors and reveal the secrets of the new salt-making method.

Wang Yi has been operating in Jiangnan for several years. When Shui Jue came to Jiangnan for the first time, Wang Yi was already well-known among the salt merchants, and now he has become one of the vice presidents of the Salt Chamber of Commerce, known as the Salt Merchant of the Big Three.

With Wang Yi as an insider, Shui Jue has already collected a lot of information on salt merchants.The reason why Prince Zhongshun was asked to investigate again was just to prove it.Shui Jue also wanted to see how these salt merchants reacted to the people of Xinjun.

As expected, it was still the members of Liu's family that Shui Jue couldn't see through.

But the Li family is the more obvious target, and of course Shui Jue will start with the Li family first.As for the Liu family, it depends on their future performance.

However, the Li family dared to blatantly stand by Prince Zhongyong's side after Prince Zhongyong's failure to seize the throne, so naturally they had something to rely on.One of the ancestors of the Li family once had the grace to save the Supreme Emperor. When the ancestor of the Li family was dying, he refused the Supreme Emperor's reward for him, saying that the person whose descendants had not read the book and became an official, only hoped that the Supreme Emperor would treat him. The family takes care of one or two more.

Therefore, the Supreme Emperor was very tolerant to the Li family.The Li family and the Zhen family have been married for generations, and they can be regarded as one of the newly emerging big families.

Shui Jue admired the wisdom of the ancestors of the Li family.Although businessmen are richer than many officials, businessmen are more willing to be high officials, which is a difference in status.However, the ancestors of the Li family refused the gift of letting their descendants enter the court as officials, which can be said to have great perseverance.The ancestors of the Li family clearly knew that their children and grandchildren did not live up to expectations. Even if they managed to become high-ranking officials by virtue of the grace of saving them, they would definitely not be as good as other officials in the court. Naturally, they can’t compare to officials who have made meritorious service and have been promoted through the imperial examinations. Promotion is also very difficult. This is unavoidable even for prominent nobles. They must send their descendants to the frontier for gilding in order to continue to have higher positions, not to mention the rootless Li family. ?

And the ancestors of the Li family got the promise of the Supreme Emperor to take care of them. As long as someone from the Li family can enter the imperial court and become an official during the Supreme Emperor's reign, they will definitely be taken special care of them, and their face will be much more glamorous in the court.And with the golden signboard of the Supreme Emperor, no one in the Li family would dare to provoke him in the south of the Yangtze River. Some aristocratic families would also fancy the Supreme Emperor's promise and marry the Li family.

Even if the descendants of the Li family don't have the material for the imperial examination, as long as they marry a powerful person, they will have half a foot into the circle of the powerful.Then the descendants of the Li family can also go to "gold-plating" - to place people in the army, only the powerful and noble for many generations have the ability to do it. It will still be reused by the Supreme Emperor.

With this strategy, the members of the Li family have been firmly tied to the Zhen family, and many members of the family have already become officials.Although it has not yet entered the circle of the capital, but in the south of the Yangtze River, it is already a party.As for the restriction that officials are not allowed to do business, it is even easier to bypass-people in the Li family, those who do business are not officials, and those who are officials do not do business.

Lin Ruhai was also annoyed by the Li family.But anyway, he is the female tame of the Jia family, and the Jia family and the Zhen family are very close, so he didn't get much trouble in the open.Even after Jia's mother and Jia Min broke up, she never leaked it to the Zhen family, so that the Li family could completely attack Lin Ruhai. People, even if they are dissatisfied with the Jia family, they will not turn a blind eye to the Jia family.If her mother's family is not well, Jia Min will not be well either.Therefore, it is impossible for the Jia family to be cruel to Jia Min.Jia Min was down, Lin Ruhai was down, and among the Jia family's in-laws, only the Wang family was still an official.And the daughter-in-law is an outsider after all compared to the daughter.Aren't there still few in-laws who turn their faces and deny others?

Lin Ruhai's status as the son-in-law of the Jia family was also one of the reasons why the Supreme Emperor chose him.It's just that Lin Ruhai only lacked the bright gun, and the hidden arrows were shot one after another. If it wasn't for Shui Jue's unintentional actions when he left Beijing last time, Lin Ruhai would probably be dead, and he himself wouldn't live long.

People in the officialdom have always been ruthless, so they have to involve their interests, and they will never let the other party go because of "family friends".Lin Ruhai is a real gentleman in character, he can hide from real villains, but he can never hide from hypocrites.

However, now both the Zhen family and the Li family have to be on guard against Shui Jing, and they have to relax a lot with Lin Ruhai and other Jiangnan officials.

..................................

Shui Jue combed through the materials of Jiangnan officials and salt merchants these days, but never stepped out of the yard.In the eyes of outsiders, Shui Jue really came to the south of the Yangtze River to recuperate, and Prince Zhongshun, who went out to play every day, was the one who took the lead.The outside world gave Prince Zhongshun even more inscrutable evaluations, because no matter how they inquired, they found out that Prince Zhongshun was indeed having fun and did not do any serious business.However, it is impossible for Prince Zhongshun to go out of Beijing without an errand, so the spies naturally attributed it to Prince Zhongshun's means too high, and deceived all of them.

In this regard, Prince Zhongshun said that you are overthinking.

Shui Jue stayed behind closed doors in Jiangnan for a whole month.During this month, Shui Jing did another major event that made Prince Zhongyong furious.He decreed to posthumously confer the posthumous title of the former prince who "died suddenly" as Prince Yizhong, and the grandson of the emperor's grandson who died unexpectedly as a prince. After inheriting the title of the Duke of the County, another concubine also became the Duke of the State.

By doing this, Shui Jing is equivalent to helping the prince to rehabilitate.After all, the crown prince has been the orthodox crown prince for so many years, and he still has a certain reputation among Qingliu and more pedantic officials, and the crown prince's family is still there.Although the only son of the Crown Princess has passed away, since he has married the Crown Prince, he has left an eternal imprint on him.Now that the prince has been rehabilitated, for them, the natural benefits are great.

Just after conferring two princely titles and giving two idle titles, Shui Jing's reputation has risen unprecedentedly.Although Prince Zhongyong was angry in his heart, he didn't dare to jump out to stop him.Because Shui Jing obviously got the approval of the Supreme Emperor in doing so.So did the Supreme Emperor not believe in the crown prince usurping the throne?How much does the Supreme Emperor know about the prince forcing the palace?

Although Prince Zhongyong has done many bold things, he is not so courageous as to be unscrupulous.Feeling flustered and guilty, it was rare for him not to jump out to object.This made other officials care about it.

To force the prince to death, Prince Zhongyong is the happiest dancer.Now that the prince is rehabilitated, Prince Zhongyong is definitely not happy.But they didn't say a word, which shows that it's tricky.

As a result, some people who were vigilant and had a little understanding of the events of the year broke down in a cold sweat after thinking about it, and dared not associate with Prince Zhongyong any more.

Seeing the melancholy and emotion in Shui Jing's letter, Shui Jue felt the same way.She didn't have much ill feeling towards the prince.Although the prince is in that position, he is destined to be their enemy.But after all, they were not directly hostile to the prince, and the prince had taken care of them before.If the prince is still alive, it is estimated that they will eventually fight against each other, but if the prince dies before the official confrontation, then they are not enemies, but relatives who have taken care of them.

Shui Jue had imagined many situations in which the prince would lose, but he had never thought of such a cowardly way of being forced to commit suicide.The prince is lacking in personality and human relations - these are all favored by the Supreme Emperor, but in terms of ability, he was taught by the Supreme Emperor himself, which is definitely not bad.The errands he handles, regardless of the few selfishness, are also very beautiful.The prince is proud and his birth and ability are enough for him to be proud, but he ended up like this in the end. It can only be said that the struggle for the throne is extremely cruel.

Shui Jue sneered.But her regret and melancholy are nothing more than fake compassion.Because the elder brother grew up with the prince, it is estimated that there is some real love in it, but she definitely does not have it.

The only relative she recognized was her elder brother.

"Chang Rui, you've been bored in the house for too long, you really don't want to go out to play?" Prince Zhongshun waited for Shui Jue to read the letter before he said, "Brother Huang yelled at me for several pages in the letter, It's like I'm abusing you."

"Things are sorted out, please help me to post a post and invite people to get together." Shui Jue thought of Shui Jing's complaint in the letter, and couldn't help laughing, "I have been sick since Jinling, and I have been sick all the way to Jiangnan. It’s been a month, and it should be fine.”

"During these days, I know that there are quite a few well-sung opera troupes, just to entertain you." When Prince Zhongshun laughed, his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Shui Jing, which reminded Shui Jue of his relatives in Beijing, and couldn't help but I have a little nostalgia.

Go back later and play with your nephew for a while.Missing relatives Shui Jue thought so.
