The meal was uneventful, and no one said anything.

Shen Ruochen didn't dare, Jin Fei was disdainful, and Emperor Yuande did it for his own face!

You know, when you go to other places, you always rush to talk to yourself and pick up food for yourself. This time, these two in front of you...

snort! I won’t tell you either!

Chen Yuan, who was waiting on the sidelines, was almost crying. Are these two aunts going crazy? This old pig has strong kidneys!

In the end, Emperor Yuande couldn't help but speak, "Whatever you need recently, just ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

"Wasn't it always with the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Shen Ruochen blurted out.

It directly choked Emperor Yuan De!

Chen Yuan curled his lips in his heart, "Auntie, you don't know how to speak, so why don't you stop talking!"

Emperor Yuande coughed and turned his attention to the child beside him. Let's talk about the child!

"Um... is it good for Third Brother to eat milk?"

"Okay!" Shen Ruochen nodded obediently, "You can eat complementary foods now! Sometimes you don't dare to eat without them!"

"Can you eat complementary foods at such a young age?" Emperor Yuande was surprised again.

"Why not! They are all tiny and rotten things," Concubine Jin rolled her eyes, "In our place..."

Before Concubine Jin could finish speaking, Emperor Yuande said, "Then feed her carefully!"

Concubine Jin was stunned for a moment and said mockingly, "It's rare for the emperor to listen to us!"

"What's yours?" Emperor Yuande frowned, "Jin Fei, have you recently..."

"What's wrong with me?" Concubine Jin looked at Emperor Yuande unconvinced.

"I didn't say anything, why did you...forget it, I've finished eating, I'm leaving!" Emperor Yuande dropped the spoon, raised his legs and left.

"Congratulations to your Majesty!"

"Sister!" When Shen Ruochen saw Emperor Yuande leaving, he said to Concubine Jin, "Sister, why are you talking to the emperor like that? Aren't you afraid that he will be angry?"

Concubine Jin snorted, "The Emperor respects Mongolia very much, and he relies on my grandmother. He won't do anything to me!"

"Then your relationship with the emperor..."

"Do I still have feelings for him?" Jin Fei looked at Shen Ruochen, "You haven't found out anything for so long, you know? There is only one possibility!"

"What?"

Concubine Jin said word for word, "Then this is true!"

"Sister, not necessarily..."

Concubine Jin laughed at herself, "This is the only possibility. The emperor has issued a gag order. Otherwise, how could it happen? Forget it, like you said, sometimes it's better to be confused to avoid getting upset!"

As she spoke, Concubine Jin casually picked up the Mongolian chess piece beside her and said, "Come on, the brother and sister were playing just now, let's play this time!"

After Emperor Yuan De came out on the other side, Chen Yuan was afraid that Emperor Yuan De would be angry, so he asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, how about we go sit with the nobles?"

Emperor Yuande shook his head, "I don't really want to see her now."

Chen Yuan was surprised. Recently, the emperor always likes to find noble people every time he goes to bed. That crazy...

Why don't you want to see me this time?

It seems that I am really in a bad mood!

"Let's go back to Yangxin Hall!" Emperor Yuande frowned and said with emotion, "It's tiring to read the book, but it's even more tiring to see these women, and they have to be angry, so it's better to read the book!"

"Yes!" Chen Yuan responded hurriedly.

In the summer, the large windows of the Yangxin Hall were all open, and gusts of warm wind blew in, causing the unpublished memorials on the desk to stagger here and there.

"The floods in the south of the Yangtze River require silver! The war in the south requires silver, and the north also needs silver. Where can I get so much silver?" Emperor Yuande shook his head and sighed, "I am not a boy who wants to spread wealth! I am incompetent. ah!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, there will always be a way," Chen Yuan said hurriedly, "You are not willing to ask for money from the people, and you are not willing to increase taxes for them. The people are all thinking of you. Who doesn't call them directly? Where is my Emperor Shengming!"

"The people are suffering! How can I bear to increase taxes!" Emperor Yuande said, "Let's find a way from other places."

With that said, he lowered his head and threw himself into the book again.

At this time, Chen Yuan saw the little eunuch outside the door waving him out. He must have something to do. Seeing that Emperor Yuan De was fine at this time, he tiptoed out and whispered. Chen Yuan's eyebrows became more and more wrinkled as he listened. together.

Emperor Yuande saw that Chen Yuan was called out and came back after a while, so he knew something was wrong. Said, "What's the matter? Tell me!"

Chen Yuan weighed it and said, "If I return to the emperor, Zhang promised to die in the cold palace."

Emperor Yuan De's hand paused, "Weren't you fine this morning? How come it's gone so quickly?"

"It is said that he committed suicide and died after hitting a wall," Chen Yuan said cautiously. "It is said that he kowtowed several times in the direction of the Yangxin Hall before he died."

Emperor Yuande couldn't help but think of Zhang's appearance when he first entered the mansion. His smile seemed to be still in front of him. He was a little sad for a while and didn't speak for a long time.

"Your Majesty, someone from the cold palace is here to ask what happened next..." Chen Yuandao said, "After all, there is still an elder brother. The people below dare not make decisions without your will."

Emperor Yuande thought for a while and said, "Xia Tian won't be able to be kept for long, so just take her out and bury her. Zhang is a sinful concubine, so we should follow the promised etiquette and keep everything simple."

"yes!"

"But..." Emperor Yuande paused, "But the Zhang family has already been like this. There is no need to hold people accountable. Just let the eldest brother go burn a stick of incense and pay filial piety."

"Yes!" This meaning is clear, and Chen Yuan naturally understands it. The emperor said that everything should be simplified, so what else is there to say? Besides, the Zhang family has also been defeated, and the eldest brother is the only one left, so he must be... …

Chen Yuan shook his head. The era of noble concubines has passed. Who has the final say on the current harem and the future harem?

I hope that Master Shen will not let down the Za family’s trust! Chen Yuan looked in the direction of Chu Xiu Palace, thinking in his mind.

"Master, apprentice, go and explain," Xiao Dezi stepped forward diligently, "It's hot outside, please sit here and enjoy a bowl of ice."

This ice cup is made bit by bit from the ice saved in winter. In summer, it is topped with fruits. It is the coolest thing! Except for the emperor, queen, and queen mother, all the other concubines in this palace have a certain number of food. They are only favored by the upper class. Don't even think about the nobles.

Can't get a turn!

Chen Yuan took the ice cup, and his hands instantly felt cool and comfortable. Put a spoonful in your mouth and your whole body will feel very comfortable! Chen Yuan asked in a low voice, "Go and get two more bowls and send them to Shen Changzai."

Xiao Dezi hesitated, "Master, this ice lamp is too precious."

"Preciousness reflects you!" Chen Yuan warned, "Remember, don't say you asked for it, and don't say you spent money to get it."

"Then Xiao Shen mainly asks the disciple?"

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Just say you stole it!"

"Steal?" Xiao Dezi was a little confused, scratched his head and asked, "Is that okay?"

"Don't worry, Shen Changzai is different from others, you should just say so! If you don't believe me, just try it and you will know!"
