In the 23rd year of Yuanzhang, the sixth son of the emperor and the seventh son of the emperor were granted the title of prince and prince, and they were in charge of the Ministry of punishment and the Ministry of officials respectively.

His Majesty's arrangement was not unexpected in the hearts of everyone.

Although His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince has not awakened to martial arts, but like the second prince, his maternal ancestor is from the government of Anguo, and he was born in a noble family.

Moreover, he was deeply loved by the Empress Dowager and His Majesty, and he was entrusted with important tasks several times in three years, and all of them were completed extremely well, gaining His Majesty's affirmation and trust.

On the other hand, although the sixth prince had a lot of experience with the fifth prince in the corruption case, there were not many affairs that actually involved the household department. It is also a matter of course to receive an errand from the Ministry of Punishment.

As a result, among the six ministries, only the Ministry of Industry does not have a prince's job.

In recent years, there have been frequent maritime incidents, especially the Laiyi Peninsula, which has suffered extremely severe disasters. Many people in Laiyi have been displaced. There is a large amount of land that needs to wait for the refugees to return to farming and recuperate for several years before recovery.

The construction of the East-West Canal was put on hold because of the corruption case in the 22nd and 23rd years of Yuanzhang. It may take some twists and turns to restart the construction. The Ministry of Industry is good at water conservancy. Sooner or later, this mess will be cleaned up.

Everyone had to turn their attention to the still young eleventh son of the emperor.

But they also understand that when this Highness really grows up, the situation may change drastically... At that time, maybe it will be the emperor and the courtier again.

According to the usual practice, the prince who is appointed as the king's consul will start to act as a councilor after a certain important festival. This year's Moon Worship Festival, Tianjing is very lively.

In the first half of the year, because of the emperor's illness and the misreported death of the second prince, the entire imperial city was shrouded in darkness.

Now that the second prince has returned, His Majesty is slowly recovering, and the two princes have been crowned king again... Happy events come one after another, finally injecting joy into the palace walls.

Originally, the officials had a three-day rest and the folk lantern festival was also held for three days. His Majesty's amnesty was for five days. It is very meaningful to take this opportunity to celebrate and sweep away the bad luck.

The Moon Worship Festival is a day of reunion. Needless to say, the royal family in the capital, the royal family guarding the four directions also have the descendants of the royal palaces entering the palace on their behalf.

All of a sudden, the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace became more and more lively.

It's just that there are more outside men, and the female members of the clan and the princes of the various houses did not appear together. Only the seventh prince was called by the queen mother to sit in the palace every day, envious of others.

"There are so many people in the palace, it's not good if there is a bump. Gu has already made it clear to the emperor's grandmother that it is enough to ask Xiao Shiyi to appear at the palace banquet."

Qi Jing hugged the younger brother in her arms and told Qiu Xi: "If Chong Jiu didn't come to pick up Eleven, no one can bring Eleven into the palace."

As the day when she was poisoned was getting closer, Qi Jing became more and more cautious.

In the first rebirth, many things have changed. When he came out of the Sixth Palace, he relied on some impressions and tried his best to keep Yu Zhaoyi's people in the palace. Most of the people he took away were his confidants.

When dealing with court ladies and internal officials like Ruosu, slowly disperse them to places where they seem to be full of luxuries, and use their selfish desires to outweigh their loyalty to Yu Zhaoyi, disintegrate their enthusiasm for being eyeliners, and then achieve the effect of getting rid of Yu Zhaoyi's control.

After entering the mansion, Qi Jing was also very cautious. Even if it was an ordinary servant or a kitchen handyman, she let Officer Xue check it out, and asked the secret guard to check the details, but anyone who was a little unclear , will never be included in the government.

For the people sent by the emperor's grandmother and father, he arranged conspicuous important tasks, but did not ask them to serve them closely. This not only showed respect for the elders, but also did not have to worry too much about people with different intentions.

As for the servants sent by other people, they must either find reasons to assign them to Zhuangzi, find a way to make them restrain each other, or simply let Rong Guan find some reasons to punish or drive them away, and Qi Jing will go to the original owner to complain a few words First, stop the other party's mouth to ask questions.

If there is a tricky servant who argues that the original master is the elder of the Seventh Prince, Qi Jing will not be polite, and will directly tie him up and send him back. He opened his mouth and said, "Such a slave can't be trained", and he is not afraid of offending at all. people.

Of course, whether Qi Jing can be so tough has a lot to do with whether he is favored or not.

In his previous life, he obviously didn't have such a face in front of the emperor's grandmother and father. If he made trouble with others, he would worry about leaving a bad impression on the elders in the palace.

In addition, Yu Zhaoyi asked him to help the second emperor's brother fight for the crown, so how could he easily make him fight against the forces in the palace or the clan, so Qi Jing became more and more timid, and was restrained everywhere.

In this life, he doesn't care about these things!

What Qi Jing wants is the comfort and safety of her own home, so it is impossible to satisfy everyone in every aspect.

He has no burden at all to complain to the emperor's grandmother, and he is quite proficient, even in front of the emperor, he is not afraid.

After several confrontations, others found that the Seventh Prince was really not willing to stick to his will, and looked quite assertive.

In addition to paying attention to the people sent by the empress dowager and His Majesty, the manor even ignored the people sent by Yu Zhaoyi if the prince disliked them. No one else could doubt that the seventh prince had such a straightforward character.

——They don't even give face to their biological mother, let alone outsiders!

Qi Jing also used this statement to prevaricate Yu Zhaoyi several times, bluntly saying that she would ask Zhaoyi to save herself from trouble.

Yu Zhaoyi knew that her son was getting older and out of control, and although she had a lot of opinions about it, she could do nothing about it.

If she argues with Lao Qi because of her servants, it will only make those despicable people laugh and take advantage of their loopholes.

Now in Prince Jing's mansion, there is an overall planner of honor, the internal affairs are guarded by Mrs. Xue, and Qi Jing's courtyard is taken care of by Qiuxi, Ruoli and Chongjiu, plus Shaoxuan and the secret guards. , Qi Jing is more at ease.

But even if he turned Prince Jing's mansion into an iron bucket, he still couldn't completely guarantee his safety when he went outside, especially inside the palace.

And now it's not only him, Xiao Shiyi may not be safe outside, after all, who doesn't know that His Royal Highness is the treasure of the Seventh Prince.

So Qi Jing paid great attention to protecting Xiao Shiyi.

Yu Zhaoyi mentioned before that Xiao Shishi should stay in her Wensi Hall during the moon worship celebration, so that when the queen mother wants to summon the little prince, she doesn't have to go all the way to Prince Jing's mansion to pick up the child.

But Qi Jing would rather let Xiao Shiyi suffer a little bumps than want him to be in Wensi Hall.

Xiao Shiyi likes to stay by Qi Jing's side, but if he can't be with his brother in the palace and has to face an unfamiliar elder like Yu Zhaoyi alone, then he would rather stay in the palace and watch Brother Shaoxuan practice martial arts with Xiao Chiyu.

When it was time for the palace banquet, Shaoxuan sent Xiao Shiyi outside the palace city, and Qi Jing took him in again.

Before leaving, Qi Jing said to Shaoxuan who was standing beside the carriage: "We will go home soon."

Shaoxuan nodded, although he couldn't do anything out of courtesy in front of the public, he also lent Xiao Shiyi the opportunity to tidy up his clothes and tidy up Qi Jing's cloak.

Sitting in his brother's arms and dressed like a little golden boy, Eleven looked at Qi Jing, then at Brother Shaoxuan, and said in his heart: Look, brother and Brother Shaoxuan embraced again with their eyes!

……

In the earlier palace banquets, the Eleventh Prince had attracted much attention, but in the past two years, all the princes had heirs, and the Empress Dowager was very interested in her great-grandson, so others no longer focused on the Eleventh Prince.

This time, the most eye-catching person in the palace is naturally Prince Heng's new son.

It is said that it was not easy for Princess Heng to give birth to this child, and she almost lost the child several times.

Afterwards, he finally came to the end, the eldest son is also a martial artist, and he was born with the advantages of his parents, so everyone loves him.

Even Eleven paid special attention to this little nephew. When the second emperor's wife ordered the maid to hold the baby for the queen mother to see, she stood by and observed carefully.

Seeing him looking at the baby in the swaddle without blinking, the Queen Mother couldn't help but smile: "You were like this when you were young too. Did you look good?"

"Looks good!" The little guy replied crisply, and he didn't know whether he was saying that the little guy was as good-looking as he was when he was a child, or he was just expressing his opinion.

He stretched out his chubby hand, feeling like he wanted to touch his little nephew.

Hearing that the little prince praised his son, Princess Heng was very happy.

No matter how it made other people feel, she was smiling.

——This child is the eldest son of Prince Heng, so he deserves this praise.

Qi Jing felt that children really grow very fast, and they can already see huge changes in just a few months.

Its soul is a golden leopard cub that is smaller than the returned soul of the little eleven ancestors.

Because Qi Jing asked in advance, and promised that if Shiyi behaved, he would grow his tail for it to play with, and the little guy pretended not to see the cub.

In order to prevent himself from accidentally looking at the cub again, the little nephew could only pick up the little guy's swaddle and concentrate on watching.

……

On the last day of the Moon Worship Festival, Qi Jing got a long-awaited news.

After Zhuang Jinshi, the former prefect of Mengliang, was escorted to Beijing, he implicated many people in order to escape the crime, and even falsely accused the second prince, calling him the mastermind behind the scenes.

Because of the old grievances between Luo Qin and the Zhuang family, Qi Jing accidentally learned that a pregnant concubine of the Zhuang family had fled secretly before Zhuang Jinshi was escorted to Beijing. He suspected that this matter was related to the real mastermind behind the scenes, so he sent people scouting.

But before the key clues were found, the second emperor brother went to Shaohai. After that, various things happened. In order to protect the people in the prince's mansion as much as possible, Qi Jing recalled all the secret guards released to the capital, making this incident It became a case without a head.

Later, the situation stabilized a bit. Considering that this matter has not been investigated to the end and is always a hidden danger, Qi Jing ordered people to start the investigation again.

Unfortunately, after a long time, many clues were covered up by people, and they were slowly disconnected. It was quite difficult to reconnect later, so Qi Jing's people searched carefully for another three months before they finally found out. some news.

When Qi Jing heard this, he asked them to report everything in detail, because after all he has the advantage of reliving the whole life, and sometimes he knows things that the dark guards don't know.

"You mean, our people followed the direction of the North-South Canal to trace the downstream, and then chased to Laiyiwei?"

"Yes, Your Highness, but after arriving at Laiyi Guard, there is no trace of leaving. The Zhuang family's escaped concubine may have died."

There have been frequent maritime incidents in the past two years, and there are not a few refugees from Laiyiwei to the west. At this time, it is a good opportunity to hide their identity and escape, but Qi Jing thought, if the person behind this scene wanted to use the status of a refugee to arrange for the escaped concubine, Why let her go to the coast? Wouldn't it be better to move inland directly as a refugee?

Or, the people behind the scenes felt that it would be more reassuring to place this escaped concubine in the Laiyi Peninsula... Could it be Concubine Yao, whose family is from the Laiyi family, or Prince Feng?
