Chapter 14

Returning to the palace with a heavy heart, Tianxiang met a high-spirited man—Dongfanghou.

As the emperor's younger brother, Dongfang Hou has always enjoyed the best treatment over other members of the royal family. Because he has no ambitions and just wants to be an idle prince, the emperor did not send him out of Beijing, but stayed near the palace. I gave him a mansion and had nothing to do when I have nothing to do, the emperor would occasionally invite him into the palace to have a chat to relieve boredom.

Tianxiang's feelings for Dongfanghou are not deep, nor are they shallow.In the previous life, because Concubine Ju entered the palace, Dongfang Hou was sent by the emperor to lead the army to fight. After returning, he learned that the woman he loved was snatched away by his own brother, and there was a rift, and there were not many contacts. Uncle, he has always been very kind to Tianxiang and the prince, there is no such thing as Concubine Ju in this life, and Dongfanghou loves Tianxiang brothers and sisters as if he was his own.

"Xiang'er, are you back? Is it fun outside?" Dongfang Hou asked with a gentle smile.

Tianxiang jumped off the donkey's back, still had to have the basic etiquette to the elders, the corners of his mouth reluctantly curled up and said: "That's not the case, it will be fine when I can leave Beijing. Uncle, I was pulled by my father to chat again today Already."

"Yeah, the emperor received the memorial that all the families of the prefect of Miaozhou were killed in the morning. He was furious and ordered the Ministry of Education to investigate and deal with it immediately. Even the officials ordered by the court dared to destroy the family. The thieves are too daring! His face! So the emperor's brother, King Xuanben, went to the palace to see if he could start from the people and catch the culprits."

Tianxiang frowned tightly, because the Concubine Ju incident hadn't happened yet, Tianxiang still trusted Dongfang Hou, so she said: "Does the emperor need Xiang'er's help? Xiang'er has been in the rivers and lakes for a few years anyway, and she still has some tricks."

"Hehe, it's good that Xiang'er is willing to help, but I don't know if Brother Huang is willing to let Xiang'er go out and take risks."

"I'm going to find my father now, maybe my father can be persuaded by me."

"By the way, I seem to remember that the daughter of the magistrate of Miaozhou had been friends with the princess for a while, right?"

Nodding her head, there is no need to deny this matter, Tianxiang said: "Yes, I hit it off with Miss Feng when I was young, but after her mother passed away, we have no contact with each other."

"I heard that Ms. Feng from Miaozhou has the title of 'the most beautiful woman in the world'. The king's son, Sheng'er, even wrote a letter saying that after being transferred back to Beijing for a while, he will ask the emperor to marry Ms. Feng to him. Hey, who knew...it's a pity..."

Seeing Dongfanghou's not so sad, Tianxiang suddenly felt that it would be good if Feng Suzhen "died" early, so as not to have to face the desperate contest to recruit relatives again, and in the end still couldn't escape the fate of being wiped out.

"Okay, this king has something to do, let's go first."

The appearance of Dongfanghou impatiently leaving made Tianxiang couldn't help asking: "Uncle Emperor, is there a woman in your house who makes chrysanthemum tea that is particularly fragrant and delicious?"

"Huh? How do you know?"

"Um... I didn't know who said it in the palace, so I wrote it down."

Dongfang Hou nodded, no doubt about him, his eyes that are no longer young are full of tenderness, "She is a woman that this king met when he was young, and because she is still young, this king will occasionally go to her tea garden to drink Tea, later when my wife died of illness, my king wanted to marry her, but she didn't agree, saying that she was humble and not worthy of the title of princess. Hey... why does this king care about her status? Little girl, always It's thinking too much."

People who fall into love and love are always confused. The appearance of Concubine Ju is too suspicious. In addition, she has no power, no money and no background in her previous life. She can still hook up with the Yuxian Gang and want her own son. Replacing the prince as the king of a country, now it seems that this Concubine Ju is definitely not easy.

After Tianxiang made up her mind, she smiled and said to Dongfang Hou: "Xiang'er is interested in this sister, what the emperor said, when can Xiang'er go to your place to meet this sister who can fascinate the emperor?" ?”

"Hahaha, what Xiang'er said, the emperor welcomes Xiang'er to play with the emperor's uncle at any time, but she doesn't like to see outsiders, so I don't know if she will give Xiang'er this face."

"Xiang'er is just a little girl, so what's there to be afraid of? Uncle Huang said something nice to my sister, and my sister would definitely be willing to make a cup of fragrant chrysanthemum tea for Xiang'er."

Tianxiang is sweet-mouthed, cute and generous, compared to the prince who spends all day in his East Palace either studying or doing carpentry, Dongfang Hou has to dote on Tianxiang since he was a child, so he only hesitated for a moment, then said: "When will you come to this palace?" The superior will send a message, and the king will arrange it."

"Alright, Xiang'er thanked Uncle Huang first."

After bidding farewell to Marquis Dongfang, Tianxiang went to the imperial study room. At this time, the emperor should be reviewing the memorial in the imperial study room.

No need to communicate, Tianxiang directly entered the imperial study room, besides the father, there was a rare sight of the emperor's brother whom he hadn't seen for several months!

"Hey, Prince, I thought you were going to grow mushrooms in your palace!"

Dongfang Haoyang glanced at Tianxiang leisurely, and replied: "As a member of the royal family, I don't run around and play around every day like you."

"Hey, brother Prince, I've never heard that being a wooden bird is a proper profession." Tianxiang took a bite of the sugar cane, looked left and right, and finally spit it out on a piece of waste paper thrown on the ground.

In this life, with his mother Empress Concubine Yihui watching, Dongfang Haoyang can only put away half of his playful heart and put half of his mind on government affairs, which is much better than his previous life, so Tianxiang didn't put too much energy on him, only occasionally pretending For comparison, check the "business" situation of your own brother.

"You..." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who had his feet hurt, stared at the same eyes as Tianxiang, but with anger, which was far from Tianxiang's banter at this time.

"Okay, Xiang'er, don't be angry with your imperial brother. Your imperial brother is studying hard now." The emperor stroked his beard and said with a gentle smile. Although he seemed to be blaming Tianxiang, his eyes were full of pity Feelings.

Tian Xiang came forward with a smile, sat on the emperor's lap, put his arms around the emperor's neck, and said coquettishly: "Father is biased, brother Pope doesn't teach Xiang'er."

"A woman's ignorance is virtue, what do you learn from it?" Still remembering Tianxiang's demolition of her platform just now, the prince said coolly.

"Hey, brother prince, what if your future empress is an illiterate woman? Then how can she respect the world?"

"you……"

His Royal Highness, who was defeated again, stared blankly, making the emperor who was watching the fun laugh "haha", "Yang'er, you can't talk about Xiang'er, you should give up early."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned his eyes away from Tianxiang angrily, the emperor patted Tianxiang when he saw this, and asked her to apologize to his emperor brother.

Tianxiang stepped down from the emperor's lap like a stream of kindness, walked in front of Dongfang Haoyang, tugged his sleeve lightly, and said in a soft voice: "Prince...brother, don't be angry with Xiang'er, Xiang'er for a while Can I tell you something interesting outside the palace?"

"Hmph, I don't listen!"

Seeing that the prince said so, but did not pull back his sleeves, Tian Xiang secretly smiled, then pulled the prince's sleeves and shook them, saying: "Brother Huang, Xiang'er brought you delicious folk snacks, wait a moment All for you, okay?"

"Humph."

Hearing this weak voice, Tianxiang turned her head and grinned exaggeratedly at the father who had been looking at them lovingly, and then said to the prince: "Brother, Xiang'er's best brother, don't You are angry with Xiang'er, Xiang'er will cry soon."

"Okay, okay, don't cry, I won't be angry anymore." The crown prince was most afraid of his sister crying. When she cried, her heart seemed to stop. She couldn't help but surrender.

"Brother is the best." Tianxiang gave a bright and warm smile at the end, which revived His Highness the Crown Prince's vitality.

"Now that you have reconciled, let's continue the topic just now."

Watching her father turn from a smile to a serious one, Tian Xiang pretended to be curious and asked, "Father, what's the matter?"

"Hey," the emperor pinched his browbones with a headache, "Miaozhou's magistrate was wiped out overnight. Although Feng Shaoqing was not dead, he was already stupid. Although Feng Shaoqing can't be called a clean official, he can be regarded as diligent and caring for the people, he is loved by the local people, and has a clean background, without any grievances... Who wants to attack such a person, or is it an official ordered by the court?"

Tianxiang didn't know where his father and brother had been chatting before, so he didn't express his opinion, but just stood aside and listened quietly to the discussion between the two.

"According to Erchen, there must be someone in the court coveting the prosperity of Miaozhou and wanting this place to make money for themselves."

"No, if it's just that, it's enough to find evidence of Feng Shaoqing accepting bribes. Isn't that how Li Ruliang was demoted before?"

"Then..." The prince couldn't think of a second answer for a while.

Seeing that both the emperor's brother and father were troubled, Tianxiang said, "Just now Xiang'er met the emperor's uncle, who said that he was ordered by his father to start from the people and find out what organization did it."

"It's not like the handwriting of people in the palace, investigating multiple ways out from multiple directions."

"Father, Xiang'er is a person from the world after all, I beg Father to let Xiang'er share his worries." Tian Xiang took the opportunity to say.

The emperor frowned slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "You are a girl..."

"Father, General Jiang and General Tian were defeated by Xiang'er a few days ago."

"Oh, really?"

"If you don't believe my father, you can declare the two generals to enter the palace now, and Xiang'er is willing to fight the two generals again in front of my father."

The emperor stroked his beard and looked at Tianxiang who was still dressed as a man. After thinking for a long time, he said: "Father, the emperor believes in you, but you should pay more attention to safety when you go out!"

"Thank you, father!" Tianxiang almost jumped up happily.

"Royal father, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, your sister is still a girl, she..."

"Brother Huang, thank you for your concern, but Xiang'er's ambition is in the Jianghu, even if she doesn't go out this time, she will go to the Jianghu one day!"

"Xianer..."
