re his eyes. He had been so partial back then, so partial that even now he felt heartbroken thinking about it. Thinking back, how disappointed and sad Ge'er must have been at the time.>"Brother, come...The Prince's Residence.
As the song's melodious voice drifted, Ru Ge carried a pot of freshly made congee to Qian Si Chen's study.
"As beautiful as a song!" Ling Tian still respectfully bowed to her. After all, the master kept her, and she looked five or six points like the Protectorate County Princess. Who knows, when His Royal Highness ascends the throne in the future, will she not turn over and become a young mistress So, he wouldn't offend her lightly.
"Like a song also slightly bowed her head in return: "General Ling, I see that His Royal Highness Prince ate a little less at lunch today, and recently he stayed up late again. I made some ginseng soup with my own hands to nourish His Royal Highness. Is His Royal Highness inside"
"Here she comes, like a songbird! Please make way for Lady Ling." Ling Tian heard that it was someone coming to attend to the lady of the house, so naturally he made way obediently. After all, his mistress had instructed him that from now on, she could move freely within the manor.
Thank you!
As if singing, she walked in gracefully, holding a bowl of congee.
"How did you come here" Qian Sicheng looked up from the documents he was reviewing and saw Ru Ge. He asked.
Because he had previously, due to his own reasons, caused her to lose her child and even robbed her of the ability to bear children in the future, he felt a pang of guilt in his heart. Therefore, when facing her, he no longer acted as sternly as before.
"I noticed Your Highness didn't eat much at lunch, so I made some ginseng soup. Perhaps Your Highness would like to have a little" Ruge said as she brought the bowl of soup to Qian Sicheng's table.
The alluring fragrance wafted over, causing Qian Si Chen to put down the official documents in his hand. He took a small sip and couldn't help but praise, "Hmm, not bad. It has a refreshing aroma, seemingly different from usual."
Asong smiled softly: "I know, Your Highness, that you've been busy with your duties lately and often stay up late. So I added some mint to it to neutralize the flavor and prevent heatiness."
"Well, you're always so thoughtful!" Qian Sicheng quickly finished the bowl, but didn't notice the coldness in Ru Ge's eyes.
After Qian Si Chen finished drinking, Ru Ge packed up and was about to leave, but Qian Si Chen called her back.
"By the way, Ruge, you said before that you didn't know how big the Imperial Garden was and wanted to take a look. In two days is the Emperor's birthday banquet. Xiaobei has been ill these past few days, so at that time, you can go into the palace with this palace. This palace will take you to the Imperial Garden for a good look." Perhaps it was because of guilt, just as compensation for her.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Ru Ge's face was filled with both surprise and joy as she quickly knelt down to show her gratitude.
"Alright, get up." Qian Sichin gestured for her to rise and said, "Later, this palace will have two new outfits prepared for you. When the time comes, dress up a little, and then follow this palace into the palace."
Ge'er has never forgiven him, and now she won't even see him. Bringing Ru Ge might be a way to utilize Ru Ge and get Ge'er back to his side.
"Well. Thank you, Your Highness!" Ru Ge looked very happy.
"Alright, you can go now." Seeing her smile so happily, Qian Si Chen felt a little lost. Her face, similar to Ge'er's, always made him dazed. If Ge'er could smile at him like this, that would be great.
"Yes!"
After Dai Ru Ge left, Ling Tian walked in and reported: "Your Highness, the Marquis of Jinzhou has arrived in the capital with Princess Shu Xiu and her only son, Wu Gang."
"Is that all You came rather quickly." Qian Si Chen put down her pen and thought for a moment, then said, "You'd better go and arrange for them to stay in the guest quarters."
Ling Tian was a bit embarrassed: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has ordered His Royal Highness to arrange them at the imperial villa."
“Father arranged for the third brother to receive them” Qian Simin secretly frowned, after thinking for a moment, she ordered: “Have someone keep an eye on them. Over the past decade, Marquis Jinzhou has been secretly communicating with court officials. Although he hasn’t done anything excessive, it still makes people uneasy. Check and see which officials he has been in contact with since arriving in Beijing”
Now that Third Brother's leg is healed and Father trusts him even more, he has to be careful.
"Yes! I will arrange it immediately!"
"By the way, have you heard anything from Mingzhu Mansion" He had people keeping an eye on Mingzhu Mansion all the time, just to know every move Song'er made. But after Song'er left home, his people seemed to have vanished, which angered him greatly.
The county princess has been practicing dancing at home these two days. Besides, as the mistress of the Xiang Mansion has been staying at Mingzhu Mansion, the county princess rarely goes out.
"How could the Madam of the Xiangfu stay there all the time" Qian Si frowned, the Prime Minister had been acting strange these two days. Today at court, he was even reprimanded by the Emperor. He felt something was amiss: "Do you know why the Madam of the Xiangfu has been staying at Mingzhu Mansion"
Ling Tian hesitated for a moment, as if considering whether or not to say it.
"What's wrong" Could it be that he guessed correctly, something happening
"This lowly one happened to overhear some people discussing, saying...that the Prime Minister had a concubine outside..." Such things are not honorable, and even more so for a prime minister. If this were to spread, it would be quite troublesome.
“What The Prime Minister actually kept a mistress” Qian Sichin was also greatly shocked. Usually, when she looked at Xiao Zhan, he seemed to be a very proper and upright person. He only had one daughter under his knees, and he didn't take concubines. Although some people in the court secretly ridiculed him for having no heir, they still admired his relationship with his wife. They respected that he was devoted to his wife alone throughout his life and didn't take concubines. Unexpectedly, he actually had a mistress.
To be aware, throughout history, although there are no explicit regulations, as an important official of the court and a role model for the common people, keeping concubines and eliminating wives, or raising mistresses, are things that the imperial court does not allow. What's more, Xiao Zhan is the chief among officials. If the people followed suit, wouldn't it lead to chaos in the world
"Not only that, but I also heard that the concubine even has a child, and it's the son the prime minister has always wanted!" It seems Ling Tian knows quite a lot.
"Even the child is here now!" When Qian Sicheng heard this, he was directly shocked and stood up. After thinking it over carefully, he seemed to have made a decision: "Can you find out where that mistress and the child are"
This shouldn't be difficult.
Qian Si rubbed her chin and nodded. "I'll leave this matter to you. Absolutely no one can know about it, or else, I'll hold you responsible!"
"Your Highness, what do you mean" Ling Tian was stunned.
“Absolutely not at this time. We cannot let anyone know about the existence of this mother and child. Absolutely not, we can’t let them ruin the Chancellor!” He needed to understand that more than half of his power came from the Chancellor. If the Chancellor fell at this moment, it meant losing all that power. Although there were no signs that the third prince harbored ambitions for the throne, he couldn't take the risk!
"I know what to do now!" Ling Tian also understood at this time.
"Remember, this has to be done quickly and cleanly!" Qian Si Chen's eyes glinted with coldness.
But, Your Highness, what if the Prime Minister found out...rreconcilable differences.>"Well, are you afraid" Ninghua looked like she was holding all the cards: "If you're scared, then admit defeat now. All you have to do is call me boss."Xiao Yu's song smiled...
