Emperor Qingyuan's hand shook, and ink fell on the fold, smearing the words, "What did you say? You are sharing my worries, how old are you and yet you want to run away?"
"If the father trusts his son, he will want to go to Ningzhou to deal with corrupt officials!"
"no!"
"Father, I am willing to go!"
Shen Jiao looked directly at Emperor Qingyuan, her eyes filled with determination.
The two were in a stalemate for a long time, but Emperor Qingyuan still couldn't resist Shen Jiao's coquettish behavior and agreed with him to go to Ningzhou with Zhang Dexiang.
"Be sure to pay attention to safety when you go there, don't mess around, and discuss everything with Zhang Dexiang..."
Emperor Qingyuan was like a worried old father, mumbling incessantly in Shen Jiao's ears, sometimes sighing, sometimes frowning and resting his forehead. He drove Shen Jiao to the suburbs in a car and refused to return to the palace.
Looking at it like that, I really wish I could follow him to Ningzhou in person.
When Zhang Dexiang saw this, his mouth felt bitter.
What kind of evil had he committed? While helping the emperor with errands, he also had to help him nurse his children.
The milky one is still an extremely pampered child.
If something happens to the Ninth Princess in Ningzhou, he will probably be doomed!
After Shen Jiao persuaded Emperor Qingyuan to return to the palace, she looked at Zhang Dexiang and said, "I will take care of you along the way."
Zhang Dexiang could only smile bitterly.
As soon as Shen Jiao leaves the capital, it's like a dragon returning to the sea or a beast entering the forest. It's like a familiar road and a light carriage, and it's easy to navigate.
Zhang Dexiang was afraid that she would be put in a sack because she was too wild, and he wished he could tie a rope around her neck to keep her safe.
She let herself go outside, while Emperor Qingyuan was frightened in the palace.
But soon, Emperor Qingyuan received the news.
Princess Yuan Hu dealt with a large number of corrupt officials in Quanzhou.
Princess Yuanhu paid a private visit to Yuanzhou and dealt with a group of corrupt officials.
Princess Yuanhu arrived in Anzhou...
For a moment, the officials in various states changed their expressions upon hearing Shen Jiao, fearing that they would be traced.
Emperor Qingyuan was smiling happily in the palace, and proudly showed off the information to the mournful courtiers, "My Xiaojiu is only seven years old."
Which of your sons can be as powerful as my daughter?
The courtiers who were forced to be listeners did not want to speak.
After all, their hands are not clean. What if Princess Yuanhu comes back and kills them?
But Emperor Qingyuan didn't care about the reluctance of his courtiers and still showed off all day long.
Especially after receiving a secret letter from Zhang Dexiang, who said that it was mostly Shen Jiao's credit for being able to rectify so many corrupt officials, he showed off even more outrageously!
At this time, Fu Youan, who lived in Xining Palace, was still wondering where his letter had gone.
He and Shen Jiao were also communicating, but because they wanted to avoid Emperor Qingyuan's eyes, they had to go a little slower.
Fu Youan sighed softly, holding Shen Jiao's last letter in his hand, and read the text over and over again, as if he could see Shen Jiao in this way.
"Little liar."
The one who agreed to stay with him in the palace for the time being ran out to wander around without even looking at him.
Now that I'm out, I wonder how long it will take to come back?
Fu Youan lived in the palace almost as fast as he could, writing all his thoughts in letters. He could write one every day, but he hid the letters in a box and never showed them to anyone.
Wait and wait~
I waited for two months before I heard the news from the study room that Shen Jiao was coming back.
"Is the Ninth Princess really coming back?"
He was always taciturn in the study room and rarely took the initiative to ask questions.
The seventh prince nodded lightly, "Father said he would arrive in about three to five days. He said he was waiting for the Nine Emperor Sisters to come back and asked the Nine Emperor Sisters to give us a lecture."
The seventh prince was also extremely envious.
Jiuhuangmei was able to go out on errands when she was only seven years old. He had to wait until he was fifteen or six years old before he could finish his studies in the study and go to court. It was really difficult for him!
Three or five days~
Fu Youan's eyebrows softened instantly, and when he returned to Xining Palace, he asked, "I remember that the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a batch of new fabrics some time ago?"
"Yes."
"You have two new sets of clothes made to make them more attractive."
The attendant's mouth twitched slightly, "Yes."
It seems that the Ninth Princess is coming back, otherwise his master would not want to make new clothes for himself.
Don’t they all say that women should be flattered by those who please them?
His master and the Ninth Princess are completely different!
While Emperor Qingyuan and Fu Youan were looking forward to seeing him, Shen Jiao arrived at the palace on the fourth day. The first thing she did was to see Emperor Qingyuan and said, "Father, my daughter is back~"
"Jiaojiao is suffering!"
Emperor Qingyuan quickly helped Shen Jiao up and looked her up and down, "I've lost weight, I've lost weight. Did Zhang Dexiang not take good care of you? I asked him to go out on errands, why did he push everything to you?"
Shen Jiao:......
She has obviously grown taller and gained two pounds!
Probably every parent has their own filter when looking at their children who have left home~
"Master Zhang fulfills his duties and is very attentive in handling errands."
Shen Jiao should come out and say something fair, don't let Zhang Dexiang really work hard, and be blamed by Emperor Qingyuan for not fulfilling his responsibilities.
"Sit and talk, how do you feel about going out this time? Is it difficult to run an errand, but is there anyone who makes it difficult for you?"
"It's not difficult. It's quite interesting. I'm my father's favorite daughter. Who dares to make things difficult for me?"
"I'm just worried."
Shen Jiao narrowed her eyes and smiled, and then told Emperor Qingyuan about the interesting things along the way, such as getting lost and going to a mountain villager's house to eat, punishing the arrogant and domineering officials' servants, etc.
This made Emperor Qingyuan laugh heartily. He looked at Shen Jiao with burning eyes, "Jiaojiao, do you like doing these things?"
"Of course I do."
Shen Jiao held Emperor Qingyuan's hand and blinked slightly, "I want to help my father, so that my father can be more relaxed. I am very capable."
Emperor Qingyuan caressed the top of her head with joy, and after a while he said in a deep voice: "Okay."
After this day, Emperor Qingyuan obviously trusted Shen Jiao more and more, and he used Shen Jiao more and more. He took Shen Jiao with him to study, and often let Shen Jiao go out on errands.
After a few years, it can be said that not even the eldest prince has done as many errands as Shen Jiao!
"Xu~"
Shen Jiao tightened the reins, raised the front hooves of the black horse high, and then stopped firmly on the ground.
On horseback, Shen Jiao has flying silk hair and silver hairpins. She wears a white robe with wide embroidery and dark green bamboo patterns. She has a bold and wild expression between her eyebrows and eyes. She is as elegant and unrestrained as a man, but also has the tenderness of a daughter.
His gaze became more and more captivating as he moved around.
"Brother Three Emperors."
Shen Jiao nodded towards the third prince who stopped her.
The third prince smiled gently, "Long time no see, where have you been?"
"I took a trip to Guangyuan."
Shen Jiao responded casually.
Guangyuan!
"I heard that Guangyuan Juzi was in trouble due to imperial examination fraud. Is this true?"
The third prince swallowed his saliva and asked slightly nervously.
A lot of his people were involved in Guangyuan's matter. Is Shen Jiao going to find out?
The third prince did not dare to underestimate Shen Jiao.
In the past five years, Shen Jiao has been in the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Officials. The courtiers were opposed to her participation in politics from the beginning, and now they are holding fights for people in the main hall every now and then.
If nothing else, Princess Yuan Hu is so capable!
Facing the third prince's deliberate provocation, Shen Jiao smiled but remained silent.
The third prince felt guilty and quickly changed the subject, "Ninth Sister, this horse looks familiar."
