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

Bai Wanwan held Sun Quan's hand affectionately and said:

"Grandpa Sun, I will follow you into the palace and ask Your Majesty to have lunch with me.

Come to think of it, I haven't tasted the food from the palace in a long time, and I really miss it."

Baiyin coughed and said, "Wanwan, why are you still acting like a child?"

Sun Quan smiled and said, "Hey! I treat her as my own granddaughter! No problem, no problem."

In recent years, Eunuch Sun has been particularly valued. Not only is the emperor inseparable from him, but even the eighteenth prince attaches great importance to him.

Among all the eunuchs in the palace now, he is the most prestigious and popular.

On the way to the palace, Sun Quan started talking and talked about the important things that had happened in the capital over the years.

He lowered his voice and said:

"The most prominent figure in the capital right now is undoubtedly the Eighteenth Prince Gu Sinian.

Your Majesty has appointed him Prince Regent. Although he is subordinate to Your Majesty, his actual power is comparable to that of the Crown Prince. He has earned this position step by step."

Bai Wanwan sat upright and listened, a hint of understanding flashed across her eyes. Although she had been in the southern border these years, she often received news from the capital. She had heard about Gu Sinian's deeds a long time ago.

Sun Quan took a sip of tea and continued:

"When the Regent first came to power, the court was plagued by corrupt officials and factions.

Without saying a word, he directly took action against the minister of the Ministry of Revenue who embezzled grain and grass, cut off his head and hung it at the city gate for public display, which frightened many villains!

Later, several old ministers who had formed cliques for personal gain were caught, their properties confiscated and they were executed without any mercy.

Over the past few years, he has brought down at least eighty corrupt officials, if not a hundred, and has effectively cleared up the corrupt government."

"Two years ago, when the enemy invaded the northern border, no one in the court dared to lead the troops. It was the Regent who volunteered to fight, personally donning armor and heading into battle.

It is said that he personally killed enemy generals on the battlefield and led his troops to charge into battle.

Seeing their leader’s bravery, the soldiers all rushed forward and within three months, they had quelled the rebellion and recovered all the lost territory.”

When Sun Quan talked about this, his tone was full of admiration:

"The court officials privately called him the evil star. He had a very cold temperament and never smiled. His eyes could send chills down one's spine.

Now, inside and outside the palace, no matter if they are princes, nobles, civil or military officials, they dare not breathe a word when they see him, for fear that they will do something wrong and anger him.

Bai Wanwan murmured to herself, "Why did Brother Si Nian become like this?"

Sun Quan looked at her and said:

"I can't figure out his thoughts now, so you have to be careful when you go to the palace.

The Emperor can be offended, but the Regent cannot be offended."

Bai Wanwan asked, "What about Su Daji?"

Eunuch Sun sighed and said:

"Then Su Daji would have been dragged into the cold palace long ago, and she would probably never see the light of day again in her lifetime.

The Sixth Prince also suffered a bad fate. He was kept in the mansion like a bird in a cage.

Prime Minister Su is now just a figurehead. His two sons were taken to Ningguta to starve, and his daughter couldn't stand the gap, so she shaved her head and became a nun.

The worst-case scenario was the Prime Minister's wife, who bumped into someone at the Su family's door a few days ago and died instantly. A good family is now broken up."

Bai Wanwan said softly, "I didn't know Madam Su was so fierce. I underestimated her."

Eunuch Sun said with some sarcasm:

"So what if it's fierce? It's all because of that old bastard Su Zheng!

He really gave his heart to Su Daji and pushed his two sons into the fire pit.

He forced his eldest son to practice political strategy and accumulate power, and he was determined to clear the obstacles in the way for Su Daji. Now, he has become a hard laborer in Ningguta.

The youngest son never cared about it and spent all day hanging out in brothels, relying on the power of the Su family to molest decent girls. He did all kinds of bad things and now he ended up in exile.

This was all done by the Su family themselves!"

When she arrived at the palace, she was invited into the imperial study. After a while, she saw Qi Guangheng striding into the imperial study, followed by Gu Sinian.

In the past few years, Gu Si has grown more and more handsome, with sharp eyebrows and thin lips tightly pursed, which always gives off a cold and hard look that keeps strangers away.

But he was a very cruel person. Once, a rich girl wanted to get close to him, but as soon as she touched his sleeve, he broke her hand.

There was also a girl who took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, but he kicked her in the waist and broke her leg.

After these things spread, everyone knew that he was not someone to be trifled with, and no one dared to approach him.

Bai Wanwan rushed directly to Gu Sinian and said, "Brother Sinian..."

Qi Guangheng wiped the sweat from his head. Although he was an imposter, he had been the emperor for so long, and his fear of Gu Sinian was real.

He knew Gu Sinian too well. His aura had been very intimidating over the years. The key point was that any woman who got close to him would not have a good ending.

Now the noble ladies avoided him like the plague, so he stood in front of Gu Sinian and said, "Wanwan, calm down..."

Bai Wanwan was stunned. What did this mean?

Gu Sinian pushed Qi Guangheng away and looked at Bai Wanwan and said, "You've grown taller, and also... thinner."

Bai Wanwan smiled and said, "I haven't lost that much weight! But you... Brother Si Nian, what did you eat? How did you grow so tall?"

She is only 1.5 meters tall, but Gu Sinian is already 1.8 meters tall. The height difference between them is too big.

Gu Sinian patted her head and said, "Didn't you have lunch? I made some dishes, you can try them."

Then I saw the palace maid behind Gu Sinian carrying a tray and serving the dishes directly.

The palace maids brought trays and served dishes one by one, including sweet and sour mandarin fish, pickled fish, and all kinds of seafood, filling the table. All of these were made by Gu Sinian.

Bai Wanwan ate with great relish, trying every dish and finally her stomach was full.

She touched her belly and looked at Gu Sinian, smiling and saying, "Brother, your cooking skills are amazing. It's so delicious! You don't cook for yourself every day, do you?"

Gu Sinian nodded and replied, "Yes, I do it myself every day now. The palace is not safe. I'm afraid someone will poison me."

Qi Guangheng's mouth twitched. All the people in this palace are his people. Who would dare to poison them?

After dinner, Gu Sinian took Bai Wanwan for a walk in the Imperial Garden. Bai Wanwan followed Gu Sinian into the Imperial Garden and saw several medicinal fields at a glance, dotted with various flowers.

Orchids, peach blossoms, crabapples, and roses are all her favorite varieties.

Her eyes lit up, and she pointed at the flowers and exclaimed, "Isn't that a weeping crabapple? And that one, it's a hyacinth!"

Gu Sinian stood aside, his eyes fell on her gently, and he said softly: "Wanwan, do you like it?"

Bai Wanwan nodded and smiled: "I like it. It makes me feel comfortable looking at it."

As he was speaking, he saw Bai Bai, Bai Song and Bai Yuan striding towards him.

Bai Wanwan rushed over and said, "Big brother, second brother, third brother... Wow! You look so handsome in your official uniforms!"

Three years ago, in the imperial examination, Bai Song won the first place and became the top scholar, and Bai Bai followed closely behind and won the third place. Now, both of them are officials in the court and are highly respected.

Bai Yuan took the top spot in the martial arts exam and became the top martial arts scholar. He also gained considerable fame through his years of military experience.
