Chapter 1262: The king’s return (3)
“Zhi ‘er avenged my younger cousin, but was also beaten up until his head was full of bumps.”
“Zhi ‘er” was Emperor Yongxing’s third son, and he was ten years old this year.
Chang Kang was the second son of the sixth brother of Lin ‘an.
Upon hearing that her grandson had been beaten, noble Consort Chen’s expression changed drastically, and her shapely eyebrows raised.”How come I didn’t know about this?”
“The referee has suppressed it.”
“Why?”
Noble Consort Chen asked suspiciously, unable to understand her son’s approach.
Emperor Yongxing laughed bitterly. that’s Xu Qi ‘an’s younger sister. Fortunately, she was sent out of the palace that day. She didn’t even get to study.
Imperial concubine Chen immediately fell silent.
Little did he know that the Grand Tutor had escaped.
After eating for a while, imperial concubine Chen saw that Emperor Yongxing was still unhappy and said softly, ”
“Your Majesty, is there any difficulty in the court?”
Emperor Yongxing hesitated for a moment and sighed helplessly, ”
“The National Treasury is out of silver, and the war has just ended. The granaries in various places are insufficient, and they are unable to provide relief to the victims. As a result, there were refugees everywhere, turning into bandits.
“My country is a complete loan.”
He also told them about the setback he had encountered when he was calling for donations.
Emperor Yongxing pinched the space between his eyebrows, ” I only know how difficult it is when I’m in this position. Everyone in the Imperial court is an enemy.”
Although he had just ascended the throne, he had already felt many obstacles and the powerlessness of the government’s orders.
This was something he couldn’t personally experience when he was the Crown Prince.
The atmosphere at the table suddenly became heavy.
Emperor Yongxing hurriedly said,”there is no need to think about these bad things. Consort mother, your son offers you a toast.”
After drinking the wine, Emperor Yongxing picked some easy topics to try to make noble Consort Chen laugh and make the family banquet more relaxed.
Lin ‘an silently looked at his brother, feeling a little sad.
In the past, she had felt that her brother Crown Prince was obsessed with inheriting the throne, and many of his thoughts and ideas made her uncomfortable.
However, things had changed with the passage of time. After experiencing so many things, she had also matured a lot.
The crown prince’s older brother was so obsessed with the throne. Other than his own desire for the throne, the main reason was because of the mother and daughter.
Her mother was suppressed by the Empress, and she was often bullied by huaiqing. In addition, the fourth prince had Wei Yuan’s support in court.
The crown prince’s older brother wanted to make a good impression so that his mother could raise her head and puff out her chest in front of the Empress, so that she could flaunt her strength in front of huaiqing.
After lunch, Lin ‘an used the excuse of taking a walk to digest food to go to Dexin court.
As soon as he entered huaiqing’s territory, he saw a handsome and tall young official coming out.
His eyes were like stars, his lips were red, and his teeth were white. The lines of his face were much tougher, making him look more manly.
“Your humble servant greets Your Highness.”
Xu niannian stopped in his tracks and cupped his hands in greeting.
“Why is Lord Xu here?”
Lin ‘an’s amorous and charming peach blossom eyes turned and sized him up.
“I’m here to discuss knowledge with Your Highness huaiqing,” Xu niannian said.
“By the way, has my big brother sent any letters to His Highness recently?” he asked after a pause.
When Lin ‘an heard this, he was full of resentment. He snorted, ”
“Who is your big brother? bengong doesn’t know him. Don’t block the way.”
Her skirt fluttered as she brushed past Xu Xinian.
The dog slave had left the capital for more than a month, and there was no news from him. It was clear that he didn’t care about her.
They went straight to the inner courtyard. With the palace maid leading the way, they arrived at the inner hall and saw huaiqing drinking tea behind the table.
“I just met Xu cijiu outside, what is he doing here?”
Lin an asked.
Usually, those who were invited into the princess’s residence were people with extraordinary relationships.
Women aside, men were all trusted aides.
But Lin ‘an knew that Xu niannian was the future son-in-law of the Wang family, and chief advisor Wang was her Emperor brother’s man.
“Discussing knowledge.”
Huaiqing replied perfunctorily, then asked,”What are you doing here again?”
She didn’t really welcome Lin ‘an. This younger sister chattered like a Sparrow. If you weren’t careful, she would fly over and Peck your face.
Although his combat power was still as weak as before, Emperor Yongxing was still in power.
Huaiqing was more or less afraid.
Even though Lin ‘an was unconvinced after being defeated, they never complained to Emperor Yongxing.
Lin an came to the side of the table, lifted her skirt and sat down, saying, ”
“Huaiqing, you’ve got a lot of ideas. I’d like to ask you a question.”
Huaiqing coldly nodded.
Lin ‘an told him about the donation, frowning slightly,
“What method do you have to make that group of old foxes pay out of their own pockets?”
“If someone wants to steal your family’s wealth, will you give it to them or not?” huaiqing asked indifferently.
Lin an thought for a moment and said,”it depends on who. If the dog slave asks me for money, bengong will give it.””Yes, I will.”
Huaiqing took a sip of tea. that’s why you can’t do it unless it’s someone close to you. Your Emperor brother extended his hand to ask for money, of course he wouldn’t be able to get it. ”
Lin an felt that it made sense and probed, “”Intimidate?”
Huaiqing shook his head.
“This is the best method, but also the stupidest method. The stupid thing was that it couldn’t be the Emperor who did it. Otherwise, there would be a great backlash from the court and the public.
“But some people can do it, and the ministers can’t do anything about it.”
“Who?” Lin an’s eyes lit up.
Huaiqing was once again disappointed in his sister’s intelligence. It was really boring to play games with her.
“What do you think of the director?”
.. guess …”
“What if he was the number one warrior of Da Feng, the North vanquishing Prince?”
“But, but …”
“Then who is the number one martial artist in Da Feng now?”
Lin ‘an finally understood and suddenly came to a realization. His small hand slapped the table.
“You mean the dog slave!”
“But he’s not in the capital,” she said in disappointment.
