Xiao Chengjun looked at the Crown Princess's more and more beautiful face under the moonlight, slightly raised the corners of his lips, and handed the two small things in his hand to him, "Take them and put them in the box."

Lou Jing lowered his head and saw His Royal Highness the Prince putting a pair of little figures carved from camphor wood into his hands. Camphor wood can repel insects, and these gadgets are usually kept in suitcases. Each of the two little figures was holding an ingot.

, one was holding a big fish, and he was chubby and naive, asking, "Where did it come from?"

Xiao Chengjun pointed to the red lacquer box on the table next to him, "A congratulatory gift from the governor of Yuezhou."

Lou Jing took the box over, put the wooden figure in it, and said with a smile: "This Yuezhou governor is really interesting. On the prince's wedding, everyone else gave gold and jade jewelry, but he actually gave a pair of wood carvings."

"His ancestors sold woodware." Xiao Chengjun looked at the box with soft eyes.

"Could it be that this was carved by the governor of Yuezhou himself?" Lou Jing asked curiously, holding the box and looking through it, and found that there were three lines of words carved in the lacquer box, saying:

I was very happy to hear that His Highness was getting married. I was in such a hurry that I didn't want to give him anything as a gift.

My old eyes are dim. I carved this with my own hands three years ago to express my feelings.

The veteran minister is getting old. I only hope that His Highness will be safe and healthy and everything will go well.

In August of the 10th year of Chunde's reign in Yuezhou

Xiao Chengjun looked at the crescent moon in the sky and said slowly: "The governor of Yuezhou is the biological father of Concubine Shu."

Lou Jing was dumbfounded. Concubine Shu's biological father was Xiao Chengjun's biological grandfather. No wonder he would give such a worthless but thoughtful thing. These three sentences were obviously carved after finishing one sentence before thinking of the next one. One can imagine a

The gray-haired old man carved a line of congratulations under the moonlight. He felt that he still had something to say, so he carved another line.

The old man's wishes are always good, but it is absolutely impossible for Xiao Chengjun to have everything go smoothly now, because he is responsible for the whole world, not just this small family with the Crown Princess.

"Zhuoyu, tell me, if the Marquis of Jingnan leaves the Southeast, who will resist the Japanese pirates?" His Highness the Crown Prince's face looked much softer under the moonlight, adding a lot of melancholy. The Marquis of Jingnan guarded the Southeast and fought for more than ten years.

The Japanese pirates ended up returning to Beijing to retire.

The Marquis of Jingnan is the father of the empress. The emperor's suppression of the Marquis of Jingnan is actually suppressing the prince. Before the wedding, he deliberately wanted to take back the military power. After hearing the news, the Marquis of Jingnan was very sensible and took the initiative to hand over the military power. According to the queen's wishes today, it should be

I will arrive in Kyoto next month with my wife, children and children.

"It's not necessarily a bad thing to live a long life," Lou Jing put the lacquer box in her hand back on the small table and walked to the window, "My grandfather is gone, Jinzhou is still safe now."

Xiao Chengjun withdrew his gaze from admiring the moon and turned to look at his princess. After a long time, he said, "I am worrying in vain."

"An Guogong has been guarding Jinzhou for generations, but my father cannot lead troops. If the Tatars invade Jinzhou again, the court will have to send another general." Lou Jing's voice was a little cold.

"Zhuo Yu..." Xiao Chengjun frowned slightly.

"The Japanese pirates in the southeast have been banned repeatedly. If it were not for Jingnan Hou, the people there would have been in dire straits. After Jingnan Hou returns to the capital, the Japanese pirates will invade the southeast within three months." Lou Jing had no intention of stopping. He looked at the night under the moon tonight.

His Royal Highness, who seemed lonely, felt very depressed in his heart. This person obviously had the talent to help the world, but he was born in this chaotic and honest year, and he still had to endure those arrogant people.

"The building is about to collapse, and my support alone is just a drop in the bucket." Xiao Chengjun's dark eyes looked deeper and deeper under the cold moonlight. His voice was steady and powerful, without the slightest trace of decadence. Instead, it contained a myriad of majesty, shocking everyone everywhere.

, "Instead of struggling to maintain it, it is better to imitate the Phoenix Nirvana and seek rebirth from the ashes."

Lou Jing stared blankly at the people in front of him. In this empty hall, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stood with his hands behind his hands. The moment he said these words, he seemed to be standing on the top of the magnificent mountains and rivers, and among the ashes of the blood-stained mountains and rivers.

Reborn from the ashes.

The heartbeat only lasted for a moment. Lou Jing put one hand on his heart and smiled slowly, "I will wait and work with His Highness to rebuild the country."

It was late at night, so the two of them simply rested in Chongren Hall.

The bed in Chongren Hall was larger than that in Bafeng Hall. Lou Jing moved towards the bed and came close to His Royal Highness. He stretched out his hand to hold the sleeping person into his arms and gently rubbed the top of his soft hair with his chin.

Liao Teng. This person will become a wise king in charge of the world in the future, but at this moment, he is sleeping in his arms without any defense. Thinking like this, a strange sense of satisfaction arose in his heart.

The next morning, the sun shone on the apricot-yellow curtain. Xiao Chengjun opened his eyes and found that the princess was touching him again. A slender hand reached into the apricot-yellow underwear very dishonestly, and he raised his hand to try to get rid of the princess.

He took out his paw, but his cheek touched the head next to him.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned his outstretched hand and gently touched the long eyelashes. He slowly leaned over and gently touched the thin lips with his own lips. Who knew that he had just touched them?

When I got up, I was suddenly sucked in.

Lou Jing had a hard time holding back his laughter, until His Highness the Prince secretly kissed him again, and it was actually on the lips. He couldn't hold it back any longer, so he opened his mouth and took the soft and warm thing in his mouth.

"Well..." Xiao Chengjun couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Lou Jing opened her eyes, held down the Crown Prince's head with one hand, sucked and bit the lips that were trying to escape, and rubbed them until both of them were slightly panting.

Looking at him, "Your Highness, why are you so frivolous towards me so early in the morning?"

Xiao Chengjun looked at those beautiful eyes that were as bright as cold stars, and felt a little at a loss for a moment. He felt that something was wrong with what he said, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Seeing His Highness the Crown Prince's dazed look, and the ears hidden in his hair gradually turning red, Lou Jing felt that his heart began to itch again.

"Ahem, it's time to get up," Xiao Chengjun coughed lightly and sat up, "Yesterday I gave my father a discount, let's go to Jingyi Mountain to stay for two days."

Lou Jing was still half-lying on the bed. She stretched out her hand to grasp the corner of His Royal Highness's clothes and played with it between her fingers. She knew that Xiao Chengjun wanted to avoid suspicion and make Emperor Chunde feel that he didn't know anything and that there were other plans in the court. "Okay,

Jingyi Mountain should be covered with red leaves now, so it’s a good time to visit.”

Jingyi Mountain is located on the eastern outskirts of the capital. The mountain is covered with maple trees. Every autumn, the mountain is covered with red leaves, which is really beautiful. However, people usually can only go to the North Mountain. The Nanshan Mountain is where the Royal Courtyard is located, so idlers can’t wait.

Enter.

Emperor Chunde agreed very quickly, and sent someone specially in the morning for the prince-to-be and his wife to stay at the Jingyi Mountain Palace.

"I was going to take you to the Prince's Courtyard, but I didn't expect that our father would let us stay in the palace." After rewarding the eunuch who came to deliver the message, Xiao Chengjun turned to look at the Crown Princess who was changing clothes.

"That's just right, I haven't lived in the palace yet." Lou Jing said with a smile. As a fourth-rank lieutenant general of the Yulin Army, he had been to the palace before, but only to guard it. It was his first time to live in it as a master.

When they were going to the palace, they naturally had to arrange the tidying up by the people from the East Palace. The two of them had breakfast in a leisurely manner, then went to Fengyi Palace to explain to the Queen, and after noon they got in the car and drove to the eastern suburbs.

There was a peaceful scene in the East Palace, but the atmosphere in the court hall was tense.

"Your Majesty, the magistrate of Qinghe County confessed that in March this year, the prince ordered Qinghe County to repair Qingliang Temple, but the money was not allocated until May. He did not allocate a sum of money until May, so he used it to build Qingliang Temple without knowing the money.

It's the money to build the dam." The Minister of Punishment brought out the results of yesterday's interrogation.

"That's nonsense. Building embankments is a big deal. As the magistrate of Qinghe County, can't you tell the priorities?" Yang Youting, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, is a straight-tempered person who hates officials neglecting their duties. Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask.

"Qingliang Temple is renovated every three years, and it doesn't cost a lot of money." The Minister of Hubu was not happy anymore. He stood up and said, "The money to build the dam is far different from that of the temple. And the prince's approval was given in early March.

The money was allocated in the middle of the month."

"In my opinion, I'm afraid this matter still needs further investigation." Right Prime Minister Chen Shichang came out of the queue and bowed.

Zhao Duan, the Prime Minister of the Left, glanced at Chen Shichang and lowered his eyes without saying a word.

"Check," Emperor Chunde waved his hand, "Greetings of money to repair embankments will never be tolerated."

Shen Lian glanced at the right minister with cold eyes and said nothing.

When the court came to an end, Zhao Duan, the left prime minister, smiled and asked the right prime minister to go first, while he took two steps and fell behind.

"Prime Minister Zuo, what can we find out about this?" the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue said in a low voice. It was obviously the money embezzled by the Qinghe County magistrate to build embankments. How could the Ministry of Revenue be blamed?

Yang Youting, the Minister of Civil Affairs, came out, glared at the back of the Prime Minister, blew his beard, and snorted coldly, "You have ulterior motives."

Anyone can see that Chen Shichang, the right minister, is Xiang Zhuang's sword dance with the intention of Pei Gong. Emperor Chunde didn't seem to notice it and let them mess around.

Zhao Duan stroked his beard under his chin with one hand and said, "Let's go back." Without saying anything, he took the lead and walked forward. He just glanced at Shen Lian, who had a gloomy face, seemingly inadvertently, thoughtfully.

The system of three provinces and six ministries used by the Yu Dynasty was abolished during the reign of Emperor Taizong, leaving only Shangshu Province and Zhongshu Province. Shangshu Ling was the left prime minister, governing the Ministry of Personnel, Rites, and Household Affairs, and Zhongshu Ling was the right prime minister, governing the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment.

, Ministry of Industry. Sejong established the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the authority of any department was very vague. Now that Shen Lian has become the Supervisor of Internal Affairs, he will have a hand in everything he wants to control.

Yao Zhu, the Minister of Rites, quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, he listened to the prince's words yesterday and asked his younger brother to leave the capital quickly. Sure enough, in the middle of the night yesterday, someone broke into the house where his younger brother Yao Su temporarily lived. He wanted to take someone, but he rushed

It was all in vain. Looking at today's situation, people should be arrested privately. If they are not arrested, they dare not make a big splash.

"Teacher, what should we do next?" Yao Zhu quickly took two steps to catch up with Zhao Duan and asked quietly. After hearing what happened yesterday, his mother got up this morning and knelt three times and kowtowed nine times towards the East Palace to fast for forty-nine days.

Pray for His Royal Highness the Prince.

Zhao Duan took a deep look at Yao Zhu and said, "Stay unchanged and adapt to the ever-changing situation."

Jingyi Mountain is thirty miles east of the capital. At the foot of the mountain is a famous nun temple called Qinglian Temple. The female relatives in the capital often come here to burn incense and worship Buddha. The incense is strong all year round.

"There is a temple fair here on the ninth day of September. We can go down the mountain to have a look." Lou Jing looked at the Qinglian Temple not far away with an unknown smile on her face.

Xiao Chengjun glanced at the Crown Princess who smiled maliciously, "You and I are both men, how can we go to the nunnery to watch the excitement?" On the Double Ninth Festival, the ninth day of September, the common people would go to Beishan to climb high, while the female relatives would stay at the foot of the mountain.

Attend the temple fair.

Lou Jing smiled mysteriously and did not answer. She buried her face in His Highness the Crown Prince's arms and yawned, "This mountain road is so winding that I feel dizzy."

His Royal Highness the Prince looked helplessly at the guy in his arms. The mountain road was bumpy, so they changed horses. Lou Jing had an injury on his leg and could not ride the horse, so he could only ride one with him. But since he got on the horse,
Chapter completed!
