Chapter 584: Afterthought

No matter how unreliable Xuanyuan Qi's appointment as Crown Prince Tutor seemed to him, he could only obey the orders and officially entered the palace the next day, officially taking over the important task of taking care of the young prince.

Fortunately, a one-year-old child is sleeping and growing, so he doesn't have to get up so early in the morning. With the eldest princess and wet nurse taking care of him, he can sleep until the sun basks his butt.

In the morning, he was babbling and learning to talk. The eldest princess would watch him slowly adapt to walking in the palace. Therefore, Xuanyuan Qi did not have to enter the palace in the morning. After lunch, he went on duty with his wife on duty. This was the only one he could talk to. It represents the joy of comfort.

After having lunch at noon, Xuanyuan Qi took the little prince to the small study room specially set aside for him, and began to teach the little prince how to read. However, he has always been gentle, and naturally he would not be too strict with children. Although Nan Xi said it was enlightenment, but it was obviously impossible for a one-year-old child to learn to read and write right away.

He would draw some pictures of small animals in advance and write words under the pictures to teach Hao'er how to recognize small animals. Then he would point to the word and teach it several times. Of course, children whose articulation is not clear will not follow it, but this can deepen their understanding. From now on, I will take out his impressions and recite them several times every day, and gradually I will remember them naturally.

Xuanyuan Qi has no experience in teaching children, but he has enough patience and tolerance, and is capable of both learning and martial arts.

Moreover, the little prince was extraordinarily quiet and well-behaved, not naughty, or even acquainted with life, so he took care of him smoothly.

At the beginning of March, more than twenty days had passed since Prince Wei was exiled. As time went by, Her Majesty the Queen and the Prince Regent went to court to discuss matters step by step. There was no sign of settling accounts after the fall. The tense and uneasy atmosphere finally slowly calmed down. Relaxed.

Everything seemed calm inside and outside the palace, but the high-ranking ministers were always paying attention to the disturbances everywhere. When Xie Jin, the favored minister who had been coming in and out of the regent's side, had not been seen for several days, he finally attracted the attention of some interested people. .

The night is dark.

In the study room of the Su family, Su Ce, who had not yet changed out of his official robe, stood in front of the case and asked in a deep voice, "Have you seen Xie Jin recently?"

"No." Su Lanyu shook his head, "Ever since Xie Jin made arrogant remarks at Prince Qi's wedding banquet, my nephew has not had much contact with him. Han Yu has also been quiet recently, but if uncle wants to know, I'll go back and ask Han Yu if he knows what Xie Jin has been doing recently."

Xie Jin was arrogant and embarrassed the Su brothers in public. This was something that no one in the imperial capital knew about.

The young masters of the aristocratic family were originally wary of Xie Jin's power, and even more wary of Xie Jin's temperament of keeping his word. Therefore, after the Xuanyuan wedding banquet, the young masters at first considered and paid attention to whether Xie Jin's words were true or false. Later, they discovered that Xie Jin really would never do it again. Everyone who had contact with the Su family stayed away from the Su family like a tortoise.

As Xie Jin became more and more favored by the regent, and even took part in the Spring Palace Examination and won the first prize, the young masters of the aristocratic family did not dare to associate with the Su family. Therefore, during this period, the Su family brothers did not want to be quiet, but Had to be silent.

Because people are selfish and do not dare to offend those who are more powerful than themselves. They will choose what is beneficial to them. It is human nature to flatter the superior and suppress the inferior, and to act according to the prevailing circumstances.

In addition, after the Queen ascended the throne, the regent favored the crown prince of Huainan and the ninth son of the Xie family, Xie Jin, and gave him the honor of Prince Qi of the Prince Jing Palace. The Chu family also had Chu Hongyi who married into the Prince Jing Palace - one of the four major families in the past, Xie Jin The Chu family's position at the top of the list could no longer be shaken. Because of the marriage between Chu Hongyi and Qi Shizi, the Chu family became a royal in-law, and they were still from a distinguished family.

But the younger generations of the Mo family and the Su family seemed to gradually become silent, so silent that people almost forgot their existence.

"The regent favors the Xie family and the Chu family too much. Uncle, are the Su family just watching and doing nothing?"

Su Ce turned around and looked at him expressionlessly: "How are you preparing for your homework?"

Su Lanyu frowned: "Originally, my nephew planned to take Encore last year, but because of Xie Jin, I had to give up first. Fortunately, the three-year regular course is about to start. It will be delayed for a year at most. I will wait. Affordable.”

Because Xie Jin also participated in Enke, so he chose to give up?

Su Ce didn't ask him the reason, but simply said: "I really want to know the whereabouts of Xie Jin now."

Su Lanyu was silent.

"I asked others in the palace today, and the answer I heard was that Xie Jin was injured and is recuperating in the palace." Su Ce frowned, "But I'm not sure how credible this statement is."

Su Langyu frowned: "Speaking of injuries, my nephew has accidentally heard someone mention it recently. Chu Nanyi, the concubine of the Chu family, seems to know some medical skills. He often went to Xie's house some time ago, maybe to treat Xie Jin's injuries. "

"I know a little bit about this." Su Ce nodded, "But even if he is injured, it is impossible to disappear suddenly. You have time to pay close attention to the movements among the young masters of the aristocratic family recently, and see if you can find out something about Xie Jin’s news.”

Su Lanyu nodded: "Yes, my nephew knows."

"You should go back first." Su Ce frowned, "Say hello to your father and mother for me."

"yes."

Su Lanyu bowed and saluted, then quickly turned and left.

Su Ce walked to the window and stood alone for a moment. Thinking of the memorial he had been beaten back before, there was always an inexplicable uneasiness lingering in his heart.

"Somebody come!"

Outside the study, a figure was hidden in the dim light, kneeling on one knee: "Sir."

"Has there been any movement in Shangning recently?"

"Not yet."

"Has anyone in the capital checked Shangning's news?"

"No."

Su Ce's solemn expression relaxed slightly after hearing this, but he still couldn't be completely relieved: "Send the order down, let the spies pay attention to the movements of all parties, keep an eye on Shangning, and report immediately if there is any movement."

"Yes!"

Ministers who hold power are undoubtedly sensitive, especially those with complicated backgrounds and powerful forces who dominate one side.

However, the Su family is not as powerful as the Xie family. Secondly, after the empress ascended the throne, the regent's intelligence network is much more powerful than his. In addition to being well-informed, the masters of Jiuxiao Pavilion blocked the transmission of information from others, which made it hard to guard against.

So when Su Ce realized that the situation was not good, Xie Jin and Xuanyuan Yao had already quietly entered Shangning, and arrogantly walked directly into the territory of the Yun family.
