Chapter 15

Before dawn the next day, the lights had been lit in the main hall of Showa Palace. The people of the palace were already busy in an orderly manner, but Hua Rong walked around outside Zhao Sansi's bedroom anxiously.

"Sister, your highness is not awake yet?" After Yun Shang arranged the work of the palace maids, he looked at the four palace maids here who were waiting outside with toiletries, so he walked over, looked at the closed door and asked in a low voice.

Hua Rong nodded, glanced around, pulled her aside for a few steps, and then whispered: "Look at the meaning of the Imperial Concubine. I'm afraid that there are some secrets that cannot be revealed to you. She didn't want me to change clothes last night, and now I don't dare to go into the house and call her."

Yun Shang hesitated for a moment, "But as the imperial concubine ordered, Prime Minister will come to Zhaohe Palace today. Now it is already three o'clock. If you don't call people up, I'm afraid... I heard that the Prime Minister is the most rigorous person..."

Huarong looked at the direction of the bedroom again, bit her lip, and after a while, she took a deep breath, "I'll call Your Highness now."

Yun Shang's lips squirmed for a moment. Although she was worried, she still didn't make any noise to stop her.

The prince of the Showa Palace was ordered at the critical moment. If the emperor had not been terminally ill, the country had no crown prince, and the government was unstable, the young prince who had been in the Cedar Palace for so many years would not have the fate of the present. Although he was named the prince of the emperor, whether it was the previous dynasty or the harem, there were probably many people who did not take the prince seriously. If the prime minister was disappointed again today, the situation of the young prince would not be very good in the future.

Yun Shang understood such a simple truth, and she knew that Hua Rong must have understood it. Therefore, although she could not touch the temperament of this highness, she still had to risk her courage to call someone in person.

When Huarong stood at the door of the bedroom, she knocked on the door three times, pressed her ears on the door, but didn't hear any movement. Then she mustered up the courage to push the door open. When she walked inside, her heartbeat was even heavier than footsteps. She walked to the bed with her hands and feet. Because the curtain of the bed was not pulled, Huarong saw the little brother on the bed at a glance, her body was wrapped in a quilt like a cicada pupa, and her little face exposed outside was flushed, and her nose was shook, and she could see that she was sleeping heavily.

"Your Highness..." Hua Rong walked two more steps closer, leaned over slightly, and didn't dare to have a loud voice. She screamed several times, but no one was able to react. Then she reached out and shook Zhao Sansi's shoulder gently, "Your Highness, it's time to get up..."

Zhao Sansi was still a person who was about to wake up, but she was tired all day yesterday. At night, Gu Xizhao came and was so excited that she fell asleep for a long time. Hua Rong cried for a while before she woke up in a daze. Seeing Hua Rong, her consciousness had not yet come back, and immediately pulled the quilt tightly into the bed.

Seeing this, Hua Rong immediately knelt down, "I deserve to die, I shocked Your Highness."

After hearing the sound, Zhao Sansi slowly came to his senses, turned around and stared at Hua Rong, rubbed his eyes a little, and waited until Hua Rong's face slowly entered his eyes, and then he relaxed, but he couldn't remember the name of the palace maid in front of him, "Get up...what are you calling?"

"I'm Huarong." Huarong replied, then stood up, still lowered his head, and waited respectfully.

"Hua Xiang." Zhao Sansi repeated it and casually said: "Is Hua Xiang a beautiful flower look?"

Hua Rong hesitated for a moment and said truthfully: "It's Hua Rong who is Yun Xiangyi, Hua Xiangyirong, and her sister is called Yun Shang."

Zhao Sansi twisted her lower lip. She had never heard of that sentence at all. She secretly read it in her heart twice before she sat up and said seriously: "Well, Huarong, Yun Shang, Yun Xiangchang, I remember the Huarong that Yun Xiangchang, Huarong Xiangrong."

No master has ever told himself so seriously that he remembered his name. Hua Rong was a little moved and couldn't help but glance on the bed. Seeing Zhao Sansi sitting up, he quickly ordered the palace maids outside to come in and said, "Do you want me to wait for Your Highness to get up?"

Zhao San wanted to refuse without even thinking about it, but suddenly hesitated to what Gu Xizhao said to her last night. He then looked up at her and said, "Just serve you."

After hearing what she said, Hua Rong was a little excited, "Yes." He responded, then walked a few steps outside, and asked the palace maid who was holding clothes and decoration to put down her things and retreat first, and then came over with her clothes.

Zhao Sansi took advantage of her busy work to lift the quilt and get out of bed. He glanced at the sky outside and yawned, and his voice became a little lazy, "Look at it's still early."

"It's still early, it's not until Chen Shi." Hua Rong looked at her confused look and got closer to people a little, and she didn't speak so trembled. "Your Highness is now the crown prince. The Prime Minister is going to come to discuss the affairs of the court at Chen Shi, so he wants to get up early. If the emperor is not ill, your Highness will have to get up earlier and go to court."

Zhao Sansi was a little amazed, "Do you have to get up so early every day?"

"The emperor is diligent and rests for nine days. Except for the day of rest, your highness can sleep a little and get up so early on weekdays." Hua Rong responded, and took her clothes over, stood in front of Zhao Sansi, asking her to raise her hand and serve her dress.

It's so tiring to be a crown prince.

Zhao Sansi thought lazily, and didn't mind Hua Rong approaching him. Until Hua Rong's hand was slid across her chest with her clothes, the slight pain stimulated her to come back to her senses.

"I should die..." Hearing her low voice, Hua Rong quickly took a step back. Just as she was about to kneel down, Zhao Sansi quickly grabbed her.

"Nothing happens."

Zhao Sansi bit her lower lip and her face turned a little red. Recently, her breasts swelled a little longer. She wrapped them tightly. If she touched them, it would hurt. But this shameful thing is naturally not worthy of being told by outsiders.

Hua Rong hesitated for a while before continuing to serve her dress, but her actions became lighter and more, for fear that she would offend someone again by accident.

After about half a stick of incense, Huarong finally helped Zhao Sansi tie the jade on his waist. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and walked out and asked the palace maids who were waiting outside to bring the toiletries in and serve the people to wash up.

When the tidying was done, the sky outside became brighter, and Zhao Sansi was completely awakened. Because it was almost time for Chen, Zhao Sansi had no time to have breakfast and hurriedly drank a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, but was urged by Hua Rong to hurry to the main hall.

Because the bedroom was a little distance from the main hall, Hua Rong carefully explained Gu Xizhao's explanation, "The Imperial Concubine gave the order that the Prime Minister is the most rigorous and polite person. Although Your Highness is now the crown prince, the prime minister's help is indispensable in the future. Your Highness should treat him with courtesy and must not be arrogant."

Zhao Sansi has always taken Gu Xizhao's words to heart. After obediently responding, he felt a little sad. Why didn't the imperial concubine tell him in person? She also wanted to borrow the little girl's mouth.

Unhappy.

"Your Highness, don't blame the imperial concubine for being worried. The Empress is a person who is really good for Your Highness." Seeing that she just nodded silently, Hua Rong thought she was unhappy to listen to these words, and she plucked up the courage to speak for Gu Xizhao.

After hearing what Hua Rong said, Zhao Sansi was unhappy in an instant. This made her feel as if she and the imperial concubine were not as close to the imperial concubine as this girl. "Then you have to say that, don't you understand the imperial concubine's mind yet?"

Humph, in this palace, it is obvious that the imperial concubine is the most respected and trusted person she most is the imperial concubine.

"Yes, I'm too much." When she got angry, Hua Rong became a little scared and didn't dare to talk too much.

Zhao Sansi was still a little resentful, thinking about how to win a game back, racked his brains and thought about it. When he was about to arrive at the main hall, his eyes suddenly lit up and he remembered something, "By the way, all the gifts placed in the main hall were collected into the warehouse, so you don't have to ask the imperial concubine."

Hua Rong paused for a moment, then nodded.

Zhao Sansi waited for a while, then quietly looked at Hua Rong. Seeing that she really didn't plan to ask more, she felt itchy, and shook her thick eyebrows and was cautiously proud: "Last night, I dreamed of the imperial concubine, and asked the imperial concubine in my dream, and the imperial concubine asked me to accept it."

Flower Reflection: "…"

Seeing that Hua Rong had nothing to say, Zhao Sansi was satisfied and walked into the main hall with a refreshing spirit. Seeing that Cai Jun had not come yet, she personally directed the palace servants to collect the gifts. After looking around, she felt that the night pearl as big as a fist was the most beautiful and valuable. So she waved her hand and pretended to say, "I am very satisfied with the gift given by the imperial concubine yesterday. I have been taken care of by the imperial concubine for several days before. I should thank you very much. Hua Rong, I will ask someone to send this night pearl to Changle Palace later."

Hua Rong glanced at Ye Mingzhu, nodded and responded, paused for a moment, and said, "Will the other palaces want to return the gift?"

"Why do other people want to return? If they ask me to give me a gift, what will they send it here? Not to reply..." Zhao Sansi went back without hesitation. Halfway through, he realized something, and whispered: "The imperial concubine is different from them. Just say this gift, look at the women who compete for favor with the imperial concubine are so useless. The imperial concubine cares about me and gives me some practical things."

Flowers look at the nose and nose, "Your Highness is right."

After saying that, a little eunuch came outside to report that the Prime Minister had arrived at Showa Gate.

When Zhao Sansi heard this, he quickly looked down, looked down at his clothes, followed Hua Rong out in a normal manner, and went to greet him in person.

Cai Jun is the youngest prime minister in Dazhao. He is less than thirty years old this year, but he has been in the position of prime minister for three years. Zhao Sansi met him yesterday. According to her aesthetics, although the prime minister is considered handsome, his serious appearance is very cunning, especially his deep eyes that seem to be able to see through everything, which made her scared from the bottom of her heart.

"See Your Highness..."

"The Prime Minister doesn't need to be polite." Before Cai Jun can give her tribute, Zhao Sansi has already stepped forward to help her, but she remembers that she is a fake man and has always had a difference between men and women, so she has not really helped Cai Jun.

Cai Jun also stood up and looked around. Finally, his cold eyes fell on Zhao Sansi's eyes, "When I came to Showa Palace, I met Eunuch Liu. I heard from Eunuch Liu that Your Highness was guarding the emperor's bed last night?"

Whether it was his eyes, expression, or tone, they were all cold and cold. Zhao Sansi couldn't figure out what he meant. After pondering for a while, he said carefully: "I'm worried about the emperor, so..."

"Your Highness is worried that the emperor is both human and brotherly affection, which is right." Cai Jun raised his eyebrows, "However, the burden on His Highness is heavy now. We must distinguish the importance of the matter. The emperor's illness is worried about. Your Highness should focus on the government. You must not miss one thing or another and delay the main business."

The implication is that I blame myself for being worried.

He was scolded so secretly in the morning. Zhao Sansi was so proud of himself, but he responded respectfully: "The Prime Minister said yes."

Cai Jun is an ambitious man. The current emperor is wise and powerful. In addition to being too fond of Concubine Xi, it is criticized for being criticized. There is no room for people to argue about national affairs. In short, he admires and is loyal to the current emperor.

As for the little prince who appeared in front of him who didn't know that he was from that corner, he looked down on him at the first time when he saw his cowardly look. If it weren't...

The more Cai Jun thought about it, the more he felt a little frustrated, but the situation is like this now. Zhao Jin obviously had the attitude of "entrusting his orphans" in private. Therefore, the cowardly little brother in front of him was really a pool of mud that could not be supported on the wall, and he had to help him.

Cai Jun, who had to admit his fate, took a deep breath, probably adjusted his mentality. Seeing Zhao Sansi's obedient look, he comforted himself in his heart: "Although he is a little scared, if he is obedient, he is still a little cute. At most, they are loyal ministers and good generals are more laborious."

After thinking about this, Cai Jun's face also slowed down, "Your Highness can have a meal?"

"Use, used."

"I will take Your Highness to familiarize yourself with the government affairs today. When the end of the Chen Dynasty, General Manager Li will send memorials from various departments. At that time, Your Highness will first read it yourself, and I will read it."

Zhao Sansi continued to respectfully: "I followed the Prime Minister's arrangements."

Cai Jun glanced at her, and his cold eyes drooped, "Your Highness has no foundation, but Showa Palace cannot be without its disciples. In the later period, some students will come over. Then your Highness will choose a group of them himself."

Zhao Sansi nodded, and said the same thing, "I'll follow the Prime Minister's arrangements."

Cai Jun felt angry when she saw her pitiful look at her, "Your Highness is now the crown prince, and everything must be done with his own calculations."

Zhao Sansi pursed his lips, "Brother said, the Prime Minister is the best Prime Minister, let me listen to you more. I also think the Prime Minister is a loyal minister and capable person, so I am willing to listen to the Prime Minister."

Cai Jun: “…”

Whether it is the emperor or Concubine Xi, they were all deceived by this man's simple, innocent and obedient manner and willingly devoted themselves to it?

The author has something to say:

Cai Jun: Whether it is the emperor or Concubine Xi, they were all deceived by this little prince's simple, innocent and obedient manner, right?

Zhao Jin: I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense, I'm because he is my brother.

Concubine Xi: I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense, I'm because she is a cute girl.

Sansi: You are talking nonsense, the emperor is forced to be a scoundrel, so he is not willing to do so. The imperial concubine is because she is a beautiful and kind-hearted person.

Cai Jun: Haha. So I am the fool who was cheated.
