After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

As the saying goes, if you walk by the river, you will get your feet wet. Among the goods robbed by the bandits, there must be some powerful ones. When the matter was reported to the higher authorities, the officials in the south of the Yangtze River were no longer able to cover it up, so they could only pay money to keep the peace. As a result, bribes were passed from one level to another, and over the years, many officials in the court actually received a share of the profits.

When the emperor saw the names of people on the list, he was so angry that he slammed the table. He thought the incident was a serious one, so he punished many people, cleaned up the government and the country, and put an end to the trend of corruption and bribery.

This round of layoffs will mean a huge loss of staff, and the court is in urgent need of manpower.

Xiao Jianting will be able to return to Beijing to report on his work in about half a month.

General Xiao was the happiest, followed by Lord Wang, who had already started preparing for the wedding banquet in half a month.

In the morning, some are happy and some are sad.

As the court was in need of personnel, the members of the Qing Wang Party proposed that Prince Ren be reinstated. The Prince's Party strongly opposed this and brought up old issues again, including the Mulan hunting incident in December last year, in an attempt to make the Qing Wang Party give up.

But in the end the emperor agreed and let Prince Ren come back to serve, but did not mention the matter of a high-ranking title. The Qing Wang party did not dare to make any further demands and prepared to take it step by step.

Qin Junyu did not react much to this matter. After the court session, he walked out of the Mingde Hall with a calm expression.

As soon as he got off the steps, someone called him.

"Brother Emperor!"

He stopped and turned around, only to see Qin Fengtian running towards him triumphantly. However, he was wearing heavy court robes, so his movements looked clumsy and funny when he ran.

Qin Fengtian only participated in the government affairs in January this year, and the reason is very obvious. In the past, Qin Zehai helped him to win the hearts of the people and make friends in the court. Ever since Qin Zehai was put under house arrest, the queen could not interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty in the harem. The members of Prince Qing's party were in panic, and many turned to the prince's party or the neutral faction. The queen was worried that Qin Fengtian would lose power from then on, so she tried to get Qin Fengtian an official position.

Unfortunately, Qin Fengtian was a man who could not accomplish anything. He had been in the court for more than a month, but had not achieved any achievements.

The person who was most happy about Qin Zehai's reinstatement was Qin Fengtian.

"Royal brother, why are you in such a hurry? I still have something to say to you." Qin Fengtian caught up with Qin Junyu and stood in front of him.

Qin Junyu's face was indifferent, "Third brother, if you have something to say, just say it directly."

One was passionate and the other was calm. Qin Fengtian felt like he was being ignored. He cleared his cough a few times awkwardly and invited Qin Junyu to leave the palace together, talking as they walked.

"Brother Emperor, your uncle is coming back, aren't you happy?" Qin Fengtian asked with a smile.

Which pot should not be opened and lifted...

Qin Junyu didn't know whether he did it unintentionally or on purpose. If it were someone else, he would definitely be mocking and showing off, but Qin Fengtian... was so stupid.

He glanced at the silly man next to him, closed his eyes helplessly, exhaled a breath, and said, "Happy."

Qin Fengtian raised his eyebrows proudly, "Haha... did you ever think that this day would come when you slandered the emperor's uncle?"

Qin Junyu: "Prince Ren attempted to murder my father. I just investigated the whole matter and handed it over to my father for disposal. How can you say it is slander?"

His tone suddenly turned cold: "My royal brother is on good terms with Prince Ren, but he should also be careful about what he says. Didn't my royal brother realize his mistake when he was confined for a month last time? If so, I can advise my father again: My third royal brother failed to reflect on himself during the confinement, and I request another month of confinement."

The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became tense.

Qin Fengtian lost his smile and glared at him angrily, "If you hadn't conspired with Nian Susu to harm him, how could the emperor's uncle fall into the trap? How could father believe that the emperor's uncle really wanted to harm him..." He was so angry that he was shaking, filled with grief and indignation.

Qin Junyu sneered: "You mean to say... Father was deceived and didn't know right from wrong, causing good generals to be humiliated and loyal ministers to be disheartened?"

If the ministers who followed him heard this, they would definitely report Qin Fengtian severely. He had no intention of making a fuss about such a small matter, he just wanted to warn him to be careful with his words and actions.

Qin Fengtian also realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly covered his mouth.

"Prince Qing!" A hurried shout came from behind.

The two of them turned around at the same time and saw an old minister who was very close to Qin Zehai. He was blushing and walking hurriedly towards them.

"Lord Liao?" Qin Fengtian was delighted, his eyes shining.

Lord Liao hurried over, bowed to Qin Junyu, and then found an excuse to take Qin Fengtian away.

When they were far away, Lord Liao hit Qin Fengtian's arm and said, "You kid, you know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very scheming and cunning. How can you stay alone with him?"

"He can figure out what's in your mind with just a few words, and you won't even know how you were sold out!"

Lord Liao didn't dare to say anything too harsh, but relying on his status as an elder and his friendship with Qin Zehai, he always spoke frankly to Qin Fengtian.

Qin Fengtian admitted that he was wrong and did not dare to refute. He lowered his head like a quail. He was still frightened when he thought of Qin Junyu's last words. What Lord Liao said made sense.

"understood……"

Qin Junyu looked at the two people's receding backs, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Nian Mansion, East Wing.

Jingzhe was carrying two boxes of dragon beard cakes and a letter in his hand, and he whistled and knocked on the door.

"Miss, there is a letter for you."

The door creaked open.

Nian Susu didn't intend to let him in. He spread out his palm and shook it, saying, "Where's the letter? Bring it here."

He shrugged helplessly in fear and muttered, "I just accidentally broke your broken porcelain vase last time. Why do you have to be so wary of me..."

When Nian Susu heard this, she immediately got angry. That was the poison she developed. Jingzhe just said "a broken porcelain bottle" indifferently, and all her half a month's hard work went to waste.

Seeing that she was about to curse, Jingzhe slammed the letter into her hand and ran away.

Finally, he turned around and shouted to her: "This was given to me by the owner of Yuanlai Restaurant."

Nian Susu curled his lips and closed the door. No wonder he was holding the dragon beard cake from Yuanlai Restaurant in his hand. It turned out that he was here to run errands for Yun Jianfeng.

She had never had any correspondence with Yun Jianfeng. The last time she saw him was more than a month ago when she went to find out Xuan Ji's whereabouts. They exchanged a few words in Yuanlai Restaurant and then had no contact.

After many days, Yun Jianfeng suddenly sent a letter, which might be related to the mystery.

Thinking of this possibility, Nian Susu couldn't help but get excited and opened the letter with trembling hands.

He said only a few polite words of greeting, and the last one was to invite her to meet him at the restaurant, as he had something important to tell her. From his tone, he didn't seem to be in a hurry, and instead suggested that she go when she was free.

But Nian Susu had to be anxious. Xiao Jianting was suppressing bandits in Jiuhua Mountain in Jiangnan. A few days ago, there were rumors that the owner of Tianxuan Villa had appeared. It seemed that he was dissatisfied with the people of the court taking the initiative to interfere in their affairs.

However, it is just a rumor, because if what they said was true, and Xuan Ji appeared because he was dissatisfied with Xiao Jianting's actions in Jiuhua Mountain, he should have stopped Xiao Jianting when he first suppressed the bandits, and he would not have allowed the bandits to be wiped out without showing up.
