[My wife insisted on going to the cheap self-service hot pot, but she got upset when she came back. She couldn’t get it done in time, and my Quanqin flew away...]

The fifth watch has just passed.

Jiao Shun had already finished washing and began to inspect the Fengtian Hall where the mourning hall is located. Although he deliberately kept a low profile these days, being low-key does not mean that he does not have to do anything.

Generally, officials and married women work during the day. At this time, the Fengtian Palace was still very deserted. Only the palace maids and eunuchs were doing their cleaning duties, and then there were the officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Inner Palace.

Jiao Shun first stepped forward to confirm with the people from the Ministry of Rites the list of people who were allowed to enter the palace to express condolences that day, and then roughly agreed on the prince's 'location' and the necessary security measures based on the identity of the visitors.

In the past, most of these things were agreed upon, and the rules were not too rigid. However, the prince was young after all, and the previous poisoning incident also made the queen quite nervous, so Jiao Shun simply posted reminder notes at the corresponding locations every day as a warning.

After that, people from the Ministry of Etiquette will explain the rules in advance.

The effect of this is pretty good, but there seems to be some disconnect between the monarch and his ministers.

But which kings are really willing to be honest with their ministers?

After personally confirming that the landmarks were correct, Jiao Shun made a sketch based on Mao Huahu, then went to the palace of the Crown Prince and handed the sketch to Princess Nan'an and Jia Tanchun for delivery.

At the same time, the two of them also had to memorize this sketch first so that they could respond in time when an accident occurred.

Seeing that there was no one around, Jiao Shunchong bowed his hand to Princess Nan'an, then pulled Tanchun aside and whispered: "If Concubine Wu asks about it, just follow what we discussed before."

The first reader of that pamphlet was actually not Concubine Wu, but the heroine Tanchun.

Tanchun was naturally extremely reluctant to expose those unbearable past events, but he also knew that Jiao Shun was trading his reputation. The more truthful and unbearable the writing was, the more trust he would gain from Concubine Wu.

So in the end she decided to cooperate with Jiao Shun in order to gain Concubine Wu's favor as much as possible.

"do not worry."

Thinking of the contents in the booklet, Tanchun was shy and a little annoyed, but he still nodded seriously and said, "If the imperial concubine asks about it, I will deal with it carefully."

After all, she was dissatisfied. After replying this sentence, she turned back to Princess Nan'an without waiting for Jiao Shun's reply.

Princess Nan'an just thought there was some quarrel between the two, and while holding Tan Chun's arm, she looked at Jiao Shun curiously.

Naturally, Jiao Shun didn't know anything to explain. He bowed slightly to the two of them, then turned around and left.

Upon seeing this, Princess Nan'an couldn't help but inquire: "Between you..."

"alright."

Tan Chun interrupted her hastily and said with a straight face: "While His Royal Highness is still doing morning exercises, let's understand this picture thoroughly first."

Not to mention the two of them.

However, Jiao shunned the original route and returned to Fengtian Temple, shaking his head secretly along the way.

Although he took the initiative to expose the incident with Tanchun, he never expected that Concubine Wu would ask him to write it down in detail.

As for the certificate of surrender, don’t we already have the two memorials?

It seems that after the death of Emperor Longyuan, the two memorials were already in Wu Guifei's hands - at least she had read them, otherwise she would not have had the idea of ​​writing such things out of thin air.

But since she already has the handle, why should she do anything more?

After thinking about it, I can only blame it on Emperor Longyuan having someone to succeed him.

When they returned to Fengtian Hall, officials and their wives had arrived one after another. They were heading to the side hall under the guidance of the eunuchs and maids to take control. When they saw Jiao Shun from a distance, many people stopped and pointed at him.

In the team of married women, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, and Youshi, listened to Zuo Yuan's discussion, and their already stern expressions unconsciously became a little more solemn.

Although they had long known that Jiao Shun was not popular in the court, the increasingly fierce denunciation these days still made them feel "refreshed".

Even though he had great confidence in Jiao Shun at first, he couldn't help but feel a little worried now, and especially You Shi, fearing that one day brother Xiong would suddenly lose his biological father to take care of him.

So after she sat down in the side hall, she couldn't help but hold Baochai in her hand and started to cry.

Without knowing that Baochai had also fallen into a trap, she could not tell the truth clearly, so she only said that the second house of Rongning relied heavily on Jiao Shun. If Jiao Shun really fell, she might be in trouble.

Xue Baochai just smiled when he heard this and said softly: "Sister-in-law, don't panic. The third sister often goes in and out of the ban now. She must have seen and heard more than us. If she is not in a hurry, why should we be anxious?"

Youshi had the same idea when he thought about it.

Although the Communist Party has not been able to contact Tanchun several times, judging from her high-spirited appearance, it is obvious that she has not been affected by the recent situation.

Feeling a little more at ease in her heart, Youshi couldn't help but said with soreness: "Third sister is really copying this time. Apart from other things, with this kind of support and affection, I will definitely not be able to get away with my destiny in the future.

——Even if we can't cross Xiangyun, I'm afraid it won't be much different."

Xue Baochai nodded silently.

Needless to say, there is no need to say more about the love between the two sides. If we can take the opportunity to leave a deep impression on the little emperor, the future benefits will be more than just a royal decree?

As for Tanchun's 'good luck', it's not even jealousy, but the unwillingness lingers in my heart from time to time.

Xiangyun just paid it back, the third sister was just a common wife, and her existence was not recognized by the government, but she still had such a fate.

Looking back at myself...

If she hadn't crossed the bottom line with Jiao Shun, she might have been calmer, but now that she was clearly married to him, all she got in exchange was a small official position for her brother.

If I had known that today would happen, back then...

…………

Another day without any surprises.

Seeing that evening was approaching, Jiao Shun was pacing back and forth in the guard room in the side hall a little irritably, and he was a little confused as to why the queen hadn't summoned him yet.

Yesterday afternoon, the key point was obviously discussed. He thought that the queen would summon him in the morning, but who would have thought that until now, there was no movement at all.

He subconsciously stepped out of the side hall and looked in the direction of the mourning hall, where he saw the queen driving away her luan and returning to the Chuxiu Palace.

It seems that the queen is not leading the watch tonight, so there is no possibility of summoning her to hold candlelight talks at night.

This is how the same thing?

Could it be that the queen had a relapse because of something?

But Jiao Shun thought about it and couldn't figure out what went wrong.

In the next few days, he looked through the autumn water, but still failed to wait for the Queen's summons. Seeing that it was already March and the time he had scheduled was no longer available, Jiao Shun finally couldn't help but take the initiative to ask for an audience with the Queen.

The queen responded very quickly.

That afternoon, he summoned Jiao Shun in a side hall.

In order to avoid suspicion, the main door was opened as usual, allowing a clear view, but all the eunuchs and maids in the palace were sent away, leaving only the high-ranking queen and Mr. Jiao who was standing in front of him.

The queen looked at Jiao Shun silently at first, and when he seemed to be about to raise his head, she quickly turned her gaze away.

She secretly clasped her hands tightly in her plain white dress, took a deep breath and managed to calm down the movement in her chest, and said, "I wonder why Mr. Jiao wants to see me?"

Jiao Shun took half a step forward and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the matter of King Zhongshun can no longer be delayed. I hope your Majesty will make a decision soon."

In fact, the queen knew that he was here for this matter, and she knew that it was imminent to deal with the threat of King Zhongshun, but her attention could not be focused on it.

Xingyan glanced at Jiao Shun, looking at his righteous and awe-inspiring posture, but what she thought of was that he was in the mourning hall, at Zhao Guoji's house, in the peach blossom forest, in the guest house of Rongguo Mansion...

But let's say that he is a wicked and shameless villain. He has indeed done a lot of good things that benefit the country and the people. The resourcefulness he displayed when fighting with civil servants is far from being comparable.

At the same time, he was willing to treat women equally and not be ashamed to ask questions. If this were not the case, the three girls of Rongguo Mansion would not have a lifelong relationship with him in the end.

The queen didn't know how to evaluate Jiao Shun for a moment, let alone what else was hidden in that burly body...

"Empress?"

At this time, Jiao Shun, who had been unable to wait for a response, couldn't help but raise his hand and give a reminder.

The queen woke up again. The remaining thoughts in her mind made her blush instantly. She moved her beautiful eyes away like a thief, and said with a trembling voice: "Then, in Master Jiao's opinion, what should we do?"

Act?"

First it was Concubine Wu, and then it was the Empress. How come the legacy left by the late emperor is so weird?
