Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Gu Sinian was so angry that his face turned pale. He turned around and strode out, heading straight for Prime Minister Liu's residence.

Liu Xiang had just put down the scroll in his hand when he saw him rushing in, sweat on his forehead. He couldn't help but be stunned: "What's going on? Why does he look like he's ready to fight to the death?"

Gu Sinian panted and blurted out everything the emperor had said and how the empress dowager had made things difficult for Wanwan.

After listening to this, Liu Xiang raised his hand, rubbed his eyebrows, and sighed:

"You are still too young and impulsive. It is not easy for the current emperor to sit on the throne.

In his early years, he was just the most insignificant prince of the previous emperor. His mother was of low status and had a weak personality. Even the eunuchs and maids in the palace dared to look at him in a bad light.

If it weren't for the Empress Dowager's family, the Duke of Zhenguo's family holding military power, and half of the ministers in the court working together to ensure his ascension to the throne, the throne would never have been his."

He picked up the teacup and took a sip, his tone heavy:

"In recent years, the Empress Dowager has controlled the government, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has an army of 200,000, and his students and former officials are spread throughout the court.

The emperor seems to be the Son of Heaven, but in fact he has no say in many things.

You have good intentions in wanting to stand up for Wanwan, but if you act rashly, you will only get yourself into trouble."

Gu Sinian said angrily, "Then what do you say we should do? Are we just going to watch Wanwan being bullied by that little bully?"

Liu Quanzhou burst out laughing:

"No, who do you think will be bullied if Wanwan really goes to the princess's mansion?

Well, you haven't been there yet, right? We'll talk about it after we get there!"

Gu Sinian was so anxious that he was running around in circles, and Shen Tao was shaking the empress dowager's wrist and acting coquettishly.

He was born with a face as beautiful as a crown of jade, and a pair of peach blossom eyes with a watery light:

"Grandma! Please agree to it! Ever since I saw her, I haven't been able to sleep all night.

But I just want to find someone to talk to and relieve my boredom, and I definitely wouldn't dare bully her!"

The Queen Mother slowly put down the cloisonné teacup and sighed, "She is Baiyin's granddaughter, precious as gold and jade, and you, a devil of a mind..."

"Forget it!" The Queen Mother knocked lightly on the table. Her phoenix eyes swept over her grandson's aggrieved look, and finally softened her heart: "Just allow her to stay as a tutor. Don't really hit her..."

Princess Duanmin curled her lips and snorted coldly:

"My son wants her to come to the mansion as a tutor, which is a huge honor for her family.

Just looking at her with that cunning look on her face makes me angry!"

The Queen Mother placed the tea bowl heavily on the table, her brow furrowed so tightly that it could kill a fly:

"What's the big deal? She's just a little girl, why are you making such a fuss?

Taotao is foolish and mischievous, and you, as his mother, are also adding to the trouble? "

She lowered her voice, with a hint of warning in her tone:

“It’s not a big deal, but we still have to take it easy.

Baiyin has a very sharp tongue. If our precious granddaughter suffers any harm at our hands, he will chase us and curse us all over the streets.

Besides, now is the time to hire people, don’t let a child ruin everything!”

Princess Duanmin sneered, "What can that rabble do to us? They're just a bunch of opportunists!"

The Queen Mother glanced at her calmly and said:

“Don’t underestimate these rabble.

But Qi Guangheng has been making small moves behind the scenes lately, so you have to be careful."

Princess Duanmin curled her lips and said:

"That coward Qi Guangheng has been suppressed by us his entire life, like a tortoise hiding in his shell. What future can he have?

I heard recently that he wants to make the eighteenth prince the crown prince."

The Queen Mother laughed out loud when she heard this, and the wrinkles on her face were squeezed together:

"That bastard who was raised outside the palace? He hasn't even found out who his mother is, and he still wants to be the crown prince?

It’s just a daydream!”

She put down the teacup, her face darkening:

"Having said that, we also need to quickly decide on a candidate.

Recently, the ministers have been arguing fiercely in the court over the Crown Prince's affairs."

Princess Duanmin turned the tea bowl in her hand and said slowly:

"Su Daji has been coming to see me a lot lately. She seems easy to fool, and she has Prime Minister Su backing her up.

The two princes she gave birth to are each more useless than the other, but they do have some use."

The Queen Mother frowned and tapped her fingers on the table:

"Su Daji may look delicate, but she's very calculating! She has the Prime Minister's Mansion behind her, so we have to be on guard.

However, her two sons, the third prince is tyrannical and the sixth prince can't even understand memorials, so they are indeed easy to manipulate.

Which one do you think is more suitable?"

Princess Duanmin raised a calculating arc at the corner of her lips:

"In my opinion, the Sixth Prince is more suitable. This guy is so lustful that he has no bottom line.

I heard that all twelve new palace maids in the Qianqing Palace were tortured by him within a few months.

Two little girls were pregnant and died of hemorrhage after being fed safflower."

Princess Duanmin said softly:

“The Sixth Prince’s greed for money and lust are his biggest weaknesses.

Last month, he secretly embezzled twenty boxes of brocade that were tributed from Jiangnan without telling his father, and then used them to please the top performer in the Music Bureau.

For a man like this, as long as you plant some spies among the beauties, or entice him with mountains of gold and silver, are you afraid that he won't obey you? "

She suddenly leaned close to the Queen Mother's ear and whispered in a low voice:

"I heard that his new dancer from the Western Regions is just a spy we planted.

With a little whisper from his ear, even the secret letter hidden in the secret compartment of his study could be delivered to us without anyone noticing."

The Queen Mother paused while stroking her armor and asked, "Is the Sixth Imperial Concubine truly trustworthy?"

"Don't worry, mother!" Princess Duanmin said calmly:

“During the selection that year, we specifically picked this concubine’s daughter from the Shangshu Mansion.

She appears gentle and virtuous, but in fact she is ruthless. She is the one who handles all the shameful and dirty things that the Sixth Prince does.

A while ago, a pregnant palace maid wanted to gain status by having a child, so that night she was turned into a human pig and thrown into a well.

She slammed her folding fan against her palm, making a crisp sound:

"The best part is, the Sixth Prince still considers her a good wife, and now all the affairs of the palace are under her control.

With such a chess piece by his pillow, even if the Sixth Prince ascends the throne, he will be nothing more than a puppet in our palms!"

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. You can take Tao'er back!"

Soon the princess returned with Shen Tao. She looked at Madam Bai and Bai Qiaoniang and said, "The Queen Mother wants your daughter to be a study companion here. What do you think?"

Madam Bai looked at her and said, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate. My granddaughter is still young..."

The princess sneered and said, "You're such a smart kid. If I say it's suitable, then it's suitable. Are you afraid that I'll eat her?"

Madam Bai and Bai Qiaoniang frowned. Just as Bai Qiaoniang was about to speak, Bai Wanwan pulled her out of the conversation. She raised her head and asked, "Does that mean we can eat delicious food every day? And have new clothes to wear?"

The princess curled her lips and said, "Of course there is..."

Bai Wanwan nodded and said, "That's fine too. I'm willing..."

The princess then said, "Find a slightly better room and take Miss Bai to rest."
