Su Qing walked in silently all the way, and he didn't even dare to speak to Duofu, who was leading the way.

Based on the relationship between Su Qing and Su Youyi, Su Youyi called him uncle, and when he came in the past, the palace people naturally treated him as if he was his own family, and chatted about family life.

But seeing that his face was not good today, Duofu naturally didn't dare.

Thinking about the past, Su Qing would politely greet Duofu and Duolu every time he came, and everyone praised him for being kind and easygoing......

Duofu secretly thought that Old Master Su had changed a lot.

Entering the hall, Su Youyi sat upright on the top couch, and when she saw him come in, she smiled and said, "Uncle Su, sit down." ”

Su Qing didn't have time to salute, and when he heard her say this, he didn't see outside, and sat directly on the first seat of the rose chair on the side.

Su Youyi's gaze lit up for a moment.

In the past, Su Qing would not be like this, he always had to perform all the etiquette before he was willing to sit, saying that the courtesy of the monarch and the minister could not be abolished.

Su Youyi was vigilant in her heart, but a smile appeared on her face, "Chunhua, go and bring the two little princes to Uncle Su to see, the two of them were talking about the little toys that Uncle said he wanted to bring to them a few days ago." ”

Su Qing originally wanted to refuse, but when he heard the last sentence, he didn't speak, but was a little embarrassed, "Look at my memory, I'm old and forgetful." Last time, I told the sixth prince and the seventh prince that I would bring them small wooden carving toys on the market, and I had ordered someone to buy them, but I forgot to bring them into the palace. ”

Su Youyi shouldn't have cared about some trivial things, but she said: "Then the uncle and the two of them should talk about it, lest the uncle leave, and they are chattering in my ear again, I can't stand it." ”

Su Qing had no choice but to nod.

After a while, the nurse came in with the two little princes, and when the two saw Su Qing there, they went over to throw themselves into his arms after greeting him.

Su Qing hugged one in one hand, and his previously serious face couldn't help but smile, "Good boy, you've grown taller again." ”

The two little princes really asked about the toys, "Where are the toys you brought us last time?" ”

Su Qing hurriedly said: "I entered the palace in a hurry today, I forgot about it, and I am still in the house." I will remember to bring it to you next time I enter the palace, okay? ”

The two little princes were a little unhappy, and under Su Qing's comfort, they soon didn't care, "Then you remember next time!" ”

Su Youyi looked at it coldly, and suddenly sighed, "If Sister Wan is still here, her child will be older than the two of them now, and she can also Chen Huan under her uncle's knees." ”

At the mention of Wan Concubine, Su Qing was stunned, and sadness appeared on his face.

Su Youyi was silent, only waved her hand, and motioned to the nurse to take the two little princes back.

The two little princes felt that the atmosphere had fallen silent all of a sudden, and they were puzzled, so they were hugged back by the nurse, and they couldn't help but look east and west, trying to see what was going on.

Unfortunately, before they could see it, the person had already been carried out of the temple.

Su Youyi sighed, "Uncle Su, don't be sad, I said a lot, what did I do when I mentioned Sister Wan?" ”

"Out of the way."

Su Qing said in a deep voice: "Although she is my daughter, she is the best with the Queen Mother when she is in the palace, and the two of you are like sisters." Who else can talk to me about her now? There is only the Queen Mother. ”

Su Youyi said: "Yes." If it weren't for Sister Wan, our two families wouldn't have been able to connect smoothly in the first place. In my heart, I always respect Uncle Su as my own uncle, even if Sister Wan goes, this friendship will not change. ”

Su Qing nodded, vaguely hearing some hint from Su Youyi's words.

Su Youyi looked at him fixedly.

No matter what Su Qinglai has to say today, she hopes to show her attitude and let him know that the friendship between the two families remains the same.

No matter if she is the queen mother or what, Su Qing is always the elder she respects.

After being silent for a while, Su Youyi thought that Su Qing would not speak again, but she didn't expect him to suddenly raise his head, "Actually, the old minister came today because he had something to discuss with the Queen Mother." ”

Su Youyi paused.

He spoke anyway.

"Say it."

Su Qingdao: "The old minister thinks that this time the Northwest Drought Empress Dowager sent Su Zhiming to send Su Zhiming to the disaster relief, is it a little inappropriate?" ”

This is the same as Su Youyi guessed.

She sighed inwardly.

If Su Qing took Su Zhiming to say this, she would definitely not think nonsense, but Su Qing came alone with Su Zhiming behind her back, and this heart made Su Youyi feel uncomfortable.

This means that the diaphragm has been produced.

She tried her best not to think badly, "What's wrong?" ”

Su Qing thought for a moment, "Zhiming is young in the end, in the past, the first emperor sent him to the south of the Yangtze River, when he was a new science explorer, the first emperor sent him and Zhang Zhidong, there are some considerations. But this time the northwest disaster relief is very important, the Queen Mother sent him there, and the people in the court inevitably suspected that the Queen Mother was biased. ”

In order to calm the discussion in the court, the Queen Mother also said that Ming Zhiming would never be corrupt. If the Queen Mother had discussed with the minister in advance, the minister would never agree with you. ”

Su Youyi frowned, "Why?" ”

Su Qing sighed, "Queen Mother, when the water is clear, there are no fish, don't you know this statement?" Although corruption in the DPRK and China is not a good thing, it cannot be killed all at once. Previously, you set 100,000 taels of disaster relief silver, why are so many ministers opposed? It's nothing more than that everyone has a bit of a stain of corruption, more or less, and it is customary to get a piece of every expenditure of the imperial court. ”

The Queen Mother directly declared that Zhiming was not greedy at all, and this hat was buckled on his head, but it was a burden. Other ministers will think that he is not social, and the people under him will also think that he will not be able to share the benefits under him, so the old minister thinks that it is not appropriate to send him there. ”

Su Qing has been in the court for many years, and Su Youyi believes that what he said is true.

She knew this for a long time.

She could accept anyone to raise this question about her, but Su Qing - she didn't expect that the last person to raise this question in front of her would be Su Qing.

She couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Su said that everyone has a bit of a corruption stain on them. Approximately? What about you? Do you have one? ”

Su Qing was stopped by her question, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Su Youyi already understood everything from his expression.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, how can a person who can say such a thing be clear?

Su Qing has gone from a small local county order to a current important minister of the imperial court, he is no longer the Qingliu of the past, but he still retains the name of a Qing official.

Su Youyi suddenly found that she was also a lampstand, and she could see that others could not see herself, and she could only see the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, but she could not see the ministers closest to her.

"I ......"

"Don't talk about it."

Su Youyi didn't want to continue talking about this issue.

Even if it is a family member, it is too Min to talk about this topic, not to mention that the two have no blood relationship?

She raised her head and looked at Su Qing, "Then according to what you mean, who do you think is better if you don't send Zhiming?" ”
