Chapter 250 The homework that needs to be handed in must be handed in
After saying this, Li Shao stopped making any sound and did not dare to raise his head to look at His Majesty's expression.
The hall was very quiet, except for the sound of breathing, there was no movement.
Li Shao felt guilty, but he gradually calmed down.
Based on his understanding of his father, that rhetoric can calm most of his father's anger.
As for how to generate the rest of the anger, he was still a little unsure.
It can be big or small.
The Holy One looked at Li Shao for a long time, and then he let out a long sigh.
Yes, Shaoer has been like this since he was a child.
Although I am so rich and well-fed, I still think about him whenever I have something delicious to eat or drink.
An emperor, a prince, what kind of delicacies have you not seen before?
But His Majesty would still be moved by his son's filial piety from time to time.
Shaoer learned to ride and shoot. The first rabbit he hunted in the paddock was roasted by his own hands with the help of the chamberlain and brought to him...
The Holy Spirit himself was a prince and had many brothers and sisters. He now has other sons and daughters.
There is some filial piety, but behind it there is flattery and "guidance".
Others are simply children's admiration.
Shao'er doesn't have to please him, and Shao'er doesn't have a mother or concubine to teach him behind his back. His only concern is care.
I miss him, I miss the Empress Dowager, and I will also miss the Imperial Concubine.
Thinking of this, the gloom on Sheng Shang's face dissipated a little, and he asked: "Where did you get all that wine?"
Li Shao replied: "My son has asked people to transport him out of the palace."
He wanted the wine, not to waste it.
Gu Yue sent nine large barrels. After the Holy Spirit divided a small half at first, the empty barrels were left idle waiting to be thrown away.
Later, he got all the empty barrels into his hands and drank back the secretly filled wine.
Even if you put it in a barrel and find a place to store it, you can avoid it from being damaged due to poor storage.
When you're ready to drink, just open the stopper and put some in.
"You care about me. As a son, your filial piety touched my father very much." The Holy Emperor paused and then said, "But you are not only my son, you are the crown prince. You go and use the wine in the warehouse to honor me.
Alas..."
"I made a mistake," Li Shao lowered his head, "I will have the wine brought back later. I will report my mistake to myself tomorrow morning."
"What are you talking about? You said you changed the wine at the thanksgiving banquet just to let me drink more?" The Holy Emperor shook his head and hummed, "I don't even know how to scold you, so don't embarrass the censors. Go.
Cining Palace, please first apologize to the Empress Dowager and Ning'an."
At this moment, of course, whatever the Holy One says is whatever it is.
Li Shao responded happily, immediately got up from the ground and retreated.
Eunuch Cao went to see him off silently.
The two of them stood on the porch.
As the night wind blew across his face, Li Shao rubbed his knees and whispered: "Eunuch Cao, I am not doing this right. Father, I would like to ask you to speak kindly to me."
Eunuch Cao agreed softly.
If he can say good things, he can say them. As for adding fuel to the fire, he is not a lunatic. He would not be happy in the presence of the Holy One.
He just hasn't seen clearly what Princess Ning'an is thinking.
Thinking this, Eunuch Cao turned his head and glanced in the direction of the inner hall.
He could figure out these things at night, how could the Holy One not understand?
The Holy One asked the Crown Prince to go to Cining Palace to apologize, but I'm afraid it has another meaning.
"Let's go," Mr. Cao said, "the other family members will go together."
On the other side, in the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager held Lin Yunyan's hand and looked at her angrily: "You brought in reinforcements, and you said you had a sprained foot. You are trying to scare the Ai family."
Lin Yunyan said she deserved it very well: "It's my fault. I didn't think carefully and made you worry."
The Queen Mother glared at her again.
With such a good attitude, who would be willing to say a few harsh words?
But if she didn't elaborate on this matter a few words, she would feel really unhappy.
"If you know how to move reinforcements, you are not a heartless person at least," the Empress Dowager said, "The Ai family is not afraid of anything else but a heartless person."
There are too many "weird things" in the palace. If you want to gain a foothold, you need to identify yourself.
Yun Yan doesn't have to make a living in the harem, but it doesn't mean she has nothing to do with the harem of the previous dynasty.
If she is short-sighted and cannot distinguish between good and evil, she may not be able to protect him even if she is the Empress Dowager, no matter how hard she exerts herself on the side.
If she doesn’t do it well, she will have to pay for most of it herself.
"But you said you are not lacking in foresight, why are you going to the warehouse?" The Queen Mother said, and hit Lin Yunyan twice on the back of her hand, but she was reluctant to hit her harder, "If you guard against the east, guard against the west, you will also guard against the Ai family.
?Can the Ai family harm you? Hurry up and give the Ai family a clear answer. Who are you trying to break up?"
At this moment, Lin Yunyan would not hide it from the Empress Dowager and said bluntly: "Prince."
The Empress Dowager's face changed slightly, and she raised her hand and hit her twice more gently: "He's dizzy! He's dizzy, and so are you!"
No wonder he refused to tell her in advance.
I just know that once I say it, she will definitely stop it.
"The prince changed the wine, and you shouted so that the whole world would know, and he would only get a few scoldings, and at most he would be punished, which is not painful or itchy," the empress dowager said, "that is the most valued son of the emperor, father and son.
A pocket, where the wine is, it won’t bother anyone else.
He will still be the prince from now on, and he will still ascend to the Jinluan Palace in the future. You have offended him for no reason.
If he doesn't hold grudges, it doesn't matter, he just treats it as a small fight.
If he really holds grudges in the future, he will be less than twenty, but the Ai family is this old!
The Ai family will definitely go ahead of him. When that happens, he will cause trouble for you, where will you bring in reinforcements?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the Queen Mother saw that Lin Yunyan's eyes were all red.
The bright teardrops were in her eyes, and they were about to fall down in the blink of an eye.
The Empress Dowager's heart ached.
The words are not serious, so why are you crying?
It seems that she, an old woman, is bullying a child.
Lin Yunyan was really panicked.
Every word the empress said was not to blame her, but was full of concern.
Not harsh words, but they are true.
Lin Yunyan has truly experienced the situation where the empress was walking in front and there was nowhere to move the rescue troops.
Precisely because she didn't want that ending, she had to offend Li Shao today.
It's just the "past" that she can't explain to the Queen Mother.
Seeing that she wanted to cry or not, the Queen Mother thought about it and decided not to say anything more. She just asked Aunt Wang to fetch water so that Lin Yunyan could cleanse her face.
As soon as I had packed up and applied some ointment, I heard a report from outside that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Eunuch Cao were here.
Li Shao walked in the front.
After bowing to each other first, he said: "I exchanged the tribute wine in the warehouse."
The Queen Mother looked surprised and said deliberately: "What did you do in exchange for that wine?"
Li Shao told the story again.
"You child, it is good to be filial, but you must also pay attention to the method," the Queen Mother shook her head and said, "You obviously meant well, but in the end it ended up like this. Fortunately, the matter was not publicized, and everyone in my family
Make it clear."
Li Shao hurriedly apologized again, and then said to Lin Yunyan: "Ning An wants that wine, I will have someone deliver it to you."
Lin Yunyan pursed her lips and nodded her head twice.
After Li Shao and Eunuch Cao left, the Queen Mother raised her hand and pressed her eyebrows.
The Holy One asked Eunuch Cao to accompany him, and made it clear that he didn't want to cause a big fuss or spread the word. Of course, she just went along with the flow, so as not to compete with the Holy One over this.
Just...
The Empress Dowager asked Lin Yunyan softly: "Are you satisfied with this result?"
Lin Yunyan has no dissatisfaction in her heart.
A few barrels of tribute wine can make Li Shao fall into a big fall?
Neither she nor Xu Jian is that naive.
That is the son of the Holy Emperor. Even if he wears the high hat of "not paying attention to the new Jinshi", it is just the same thing.
It won’t hurt the tendons or bones.
However, any big banquet must have its rules. No matter how hot and expensive the main course is, the appetizers must be brought out first.
Moreover, Xu Jian also needs to "get away".
Xu Jian, who was asked by the emperor to follow the prince every day and give advice to the prince, couldn't be ignorant of everything, right?
Especially those big and dark things.
Therefore, you have to hand in the homework you should do, and you have to take the benefits you should get.
The night wind is getting stronger.
Li Shao stood in the imperial garden. When Eunuch Cao could no longer be seen, he raised his eyebrows and laughed.
So refreshing.
When he first heard that there was a situation in the warehouse, Li Shao was panicked.
I blame myself for being unlucky, and blame Ning An for having too many things to do. When I look at my father again, it feels like there is a sword hanging over his head, and I don’t know when it will fall...
When Eunuch Cao finished his investigation and was questioned by his father, his fear reached its peak.
My fingertips are trembling!
But what happens next?
He saved the situation immediately with just a few words!
My father was angry, but not too angry. He just settled the matter and made peace.
There won't be any objections in Cining Palace. No matter how bad Ning An is, she has already given her the wine, so what else can she do?
Doing things behind your father's back and being able to handle it smoothly, this kind of transition from panic to wanton, blood coagulation to galloping and shouting, is really exciting!
I have tasted this once...
Li Shao licked his lips and wanted to try again.
Who made him the crown prince?
Who made the Holy Spirit his father?
He can just do whatever he wants.
Not long after, Eunuch Cao returned to the imperial court.
The Holy Father leaned back on his chair, closed his eyes and meditated.
Hearing Eunuch Cao's voice, he asked without raising his eyes, "What did the Queen Mother say?"
"Your Majesty said, it would be good if you explain your family's affairs clearly," Eunuch Cao said, thought for a while, and said, "The princess's eyes were red and she seemed to have cried. She probably asked the Queen Mother to talk about it."
A few sentences."
Hearing this, the Holy Father slowly opened his eyes and chuckled: "Ning'an is also a child. The Empress Dowager always dotes on her. She doesn't hear a few harsh words in a year. If you hear it occasionally, don't cry.
”
This answer also solved a doubt of the Holy Spirit.
With the Queen Mother's temperament, she knew that the warehouse had been manipulated and had even guessed that Shao'er was involved. She would definitely not wade into this muddy water, let alone involve Ning An.
Inquiring into the warehouse was just Ning An's arbitrary move.
When the Empress Dowager found out, she had to blame Ning'an for a few words.
The Holy Master asked Eunuch Cao again: "What do you think about Shao'er going to touch the wine?"
Eunuch Cao thought about it for a while and said: "To tell you the truth, I had thought about it when I was asking about it just now. I already had the ability to reach into the warehouse, so why did I only touch the wine?
Now that I think about it, I can understand it.
Others use the warehouse for profit and to make money, but His Highness the Crown Prince does not need that.
Precisely because he lacked nothing, he only touched what he wanted and didn't care about the rest."
"It's up to you to deal with what should be dealt with," the Holy Master told Eunuch Cao, and finally said, "Go and ask Xu Jian to come see me."
When Eunuch Cao heard this, he was slightly startled. After thinking about it for a while, he also wanted to turn around and do what the Holy One wanted.
After waiting for about three-quarters of an hour, he saw Xu Jian appearing in his field of vision, and hurried forward.
As soon as the two sides met, Eunuch Cao took a closer look.
There was no confusion or anxiety on Duke Fu's face about being suddenly summoned in the middle of the night. Instead, he looked calm.
You can tell by looking at this posture: This person knows everything.
Eunuch Cao took a deep breath, with a dull face, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Guo, what did you do with this..."
"Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Cao," Xu Jian said.
Eunuch Cao:......
Got it!
A reaction from Princess Ning'an.
Is his Eunuch Cao afraid of hard work?
What he is afraid of is that the Holy Spirit will be angry.
If the auxiliary Duke cannot get any favors, can those who serve in front of the emperor feel comfortable?
The Holy One will not express his anger, but when the Holy One is unhappy, everyone will feel frightened!
For a moment, Eunuch Cao wanted to ask Xu Jian what he was trying to do by exposing the prince, but he still swallowed the words.
Not too much, not too much!
When Xu Jian went in to meet the saint, Eunuch Cao stood aside after serving tea, looking at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.
The Holy Emperor clicked on the table and said: "I can see that you and Ning'an get along well."
"The princess is interesting." Xu Jian is still an old saying.
The Holy Emperor was so angry that he stared at him: "Ning'an is interesting, so you just let her go to the warehouse to toss around? It means that the Empress Dowager doesn't know that you are giving advice behind her back, otherwise you will suffer."
After hearing this, Xu Jian did not excuse herself, but just responded: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not letting the Empress Dowager know about it."
The Holy Spirit chuckled.
My attitude is very good, but this is what caused me to have a severe headache.
Ning'an mentioned the thank you banquet, and the thank you banquet has not ended yet. He knows what the tribute wine tastes like, and what the wine at the banquet tastes like. Counting and counting, the number of people is limited.
Add to this the fact that Ning'an came to the palace late at night, and Xu Jian was the only one who could make decisions behind his back.
The Holy Spirit can figure it out as soon as he thinks about it.
But he sat here and thought about it for so long, but there was still something he couldn't figure out.
"Shao'er must have done something wrong by changing the wine," the Holy Sage said, "You can persuade him, or you can complain to me directly. Why do you want Ning'an to cause such a scene?"
Xu Jian said: "Every time I lift His Highness's bottom, I feel embarrassed."
Beside him, Eunuch Cao's breath was stagnant. He looked at him in astonishment and then quickly looked away.
Did Duke Fu drink too much?
He doesn’t say what he should say, but blurts out what he shouldn’t say?
The Holy Spirit is not an unreasonable person. He knows who is right and who is wrong.
At this time, even if Duke Fuguo shut up and pretended to be dead, as long as he honestly accepted a few words of reprimand, it would be over after the reprimand. There was no need to add fuel to the fire.
In the past, Duke Yifu would not have said such a thing...
