The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

A few days later, the "Young Heroes" picture album became a hit in the imperial capital.

Because everyone on the street was talking about the prototype of the story in this picture book coming from General Chang, many people were curious and wanted to see what was specifically written in the book.

The court officials in particular wanted to know the privacy of their colleagues, so they secretly sent people to buy the picture albums.

This sight really gave me a shock.

The general in the book is jealous of talented people and suppresses his subordinates, erasing and seizing their achievements. However, the young boy Zhao Xiaoshi from a farming family is extremely brave and intelligent, and has made great contributions, but he is not treated fairly.

Every part of the story is illustrated with novel drawing techniques and vivid details.

The officials were all sighing and wanted to know who was the owner of this calligraphy and painting shop, who wrote the story, and who drew the illustrations.

Because this person was really bold, he dared to directly expose General Chang's scandal.

General Chang is on the side of the Third Prince. Isn't the shop owner afraid of revenge from the Chang family and the Third Prince?

The Chang family naturally also watched "Young Heroes", and every man, woman, and child in the house was furious.

The head of the Chang Mansion was General Chang's elder brother, Chang Bin. He immediately ordered people to investigate who was the owner behind the Chigua Painting and Calligraphy Shop, as they even dared to make up stories about their own Chang family.

Chang Bin's eldest son, Chang Junlin, said with a sullen face, "Dad, Chigua Book and Painting Shop is so bold, there must be someone behind it. Should we show this book to the emperor? Let the emperor decide for us!"

Chang Bin glanced at his son and shook his head, saying, "This book must not be seen by the emperor. At the beginning, your second uncle submitted a memorial to the emperor, saying that it was he who advocated sending people to the northern barbarians to look for BMWs. A total of one hundred people were sent. When the one hundred people returned from looking for horses, he sent another one thousand cavalry to support them. For this reason, he fought a battle with the northern barbarians and finally successfully brought back more than one thousand BMWs. If this book is passed to the emperor, the emperor will definitely think that your second uncle is a liar and deceives the emperor!"

Chang Junlin's face changed drastically, "Second Uncle acts too rashly."

Chang Bin sighed, pinched his brows and said, "Your second uncle underestimated the enemy. He thought that the soldier named Zhao had no power, no influence, and no background, and had no ability to report this matter to the emperor. Therefore, when reporting to the emperor, he took all the credit on himself. Who would have thought that such a calligraphy and painting shop would open in the imperial capital? The person behind this is obviously targeting the Chang family."

"Is it possible that they are targeting the Third Prince? We are the Third Prince's men. To bring us down is equivalent to cutting off one of the Third Prince's arms?" Chang Junlin touched his chin and said with a frown.

"That's also possible," Chang Bin stroked his long beard and looked at his eldest son with satisfaction.

Chang Junlin asked, "Father, should we report this to the Third Prince and Consort Shu?"

Chang Bin nodded and said, "After we find out who owns the shop, we will report to the Third Prince and his men. With the Third Prince backing him up, your second uncle will at most be scolded this time."

What Chang Bin didn't know was that "Young Hero" had already reached the emperor.

Because "Young Hero" was so popular, even the eighth prince Qi Yuankun, who was studying in the upper study, bought a copy.

The eighth prince is ten years old this year, which is the age when he worships heroes. He loves the book "Young Hero" very much. He has read it over and over again and always carries the book with him wherever he goes.

As a result, when I went to see my mother, the Empress Dowager Consort Xian, the Emperor happened to be there.

Seeing that he treasured the book very much, the emperor took it and took a look.

After reading it, the emperor's face darkened instantly, and he asked the eighth prince solemnly, "Where did you get this book?"

Seeing that his father was unhappy, the eighth prince thought that his father did not like him reading idle books, so he answered honestly: "This book comes from a book and painting shop called 'Chigua'. I saw many students in the Imperial College reading it, so I sent someone to buy a copy. Father, this is a very good book. Not only is the story exciting and moving, but the pictures are also very interesting."

The Eighth Prince raised his eyes slightly, stole a glance at the Emperor's expression, and continued, "I like the young hero Zhao Xiaoshi in the book very much, because he bravely went to the Northern Barbarians alone to improve the combat effectiveness of the Great Xia Cavalry Battalion. He is very brave, has great martial arts skills, and is not afraid of difficulties. I want to become a hero like him in the future and make contributions to the Great Xia Kingdom."

The emperor suppressed his anger, showed admiration in his eyes, and nodded slightly: "Well, the eighth brother has lofty ambitions, I am very pleased."

The virtuous concubine at the side looked at her son and said with a smile: "Kun'er, you must study hard in the future, otherwise, your wish today will become empty talk."

"Yes, mother is right," the Eighth Prince touched his nose and breathed a sigh of relief.

At least his father didn't blame him for reading idle books.

But why did the emperor look so unhappy before?

After the emperor left, Concubine Xian also took the book and looked at it, and her face suddenly changed.

However, she soon returned to normal and never got involved in any palace or court affairs.

In this life, all she wants is for her Kun'er to be safe and healthy. She doesn't ask for anything else.

After the emperor returned to Zhonghe Hall, he immediately ordered people to investigate the owner of the Chigua Painting and Calligraphy Shop and the true situation of the search for BMW on the northern border.

On that day, the secret guard came to report that the owner of Chigua Bookstore was Prince Yi.

"It's Yier?" The emperor was very surprised.

This little royal brother of his, who is very lazy by nature, actually opened a calligraphy and painting shop?

However, Yier has never been concerned with state affairs, so how could he know about Chang Heng's situation at the northern border?

"Eunuch Tian, ​​send someone to call Yier to the palace," the emperor ordered.

Eunuch Tian immediately accepted the order respectfully.

Soon, Prince Yi entered the palace, still wearing a mask on his face.

The emperor pointed to the chair on the left and asked him to sit down.

Prince Yi sat down and yawned, "Brother, I am sleeping soundly. What do you want from me?"

The emperor glared at him and said, "Look how high the sun is. All you do is sleep all day long!"

"Royal brother, you called me here not just to blame me for sleeping in, right? You can't blame me for this, because I have a good brother who is the emperor!" Prince Yi said shamelessly.

"You, you," the emperor pointed helplessly at Prince Yi through the air with his finger, and continued, "Are you the owner of the Chigua calligraphy and painting shop?"

Prince Yi instantly became alert, and the warning lines in his body were quickly raised.

Gu Qinghuai’s calculation was really accurate. Fortunately, she had rehearsed this problem for herself in advance.

Prince Yi smiled and said, "That's exactly what I did. The expenses in the palace are high, so I have to find a way to make money."

The emperor snorted coldly, "There are many ways to make money, why do you only expose the privacy of officials? Tell me, how did you know that Zhao Xiaoshi went to the northern barbarians to look for horses?"

Prince Yi said slowly: "Your Majesty, you may not know yet, but your newly-appointed Princess Qinghe is the cousin of Zhao Xiaoshi. Princess Qinghe complained to me that General Chang was unfair to Zhao Xiaoshi. I always stand up for the injustice I see, so I want to take revenge on General Chang in this way."
