Chapter 221 Checks and Balances
Su Peisheng repeated to Yinzhen the conversation between Yihuan and the Queen Mother in Changchun Xianguan.

After he said that, he raised his head and secretly glanced at the emperor's expression. He found that the emperor was not angry, but smiled instead.

"Pick a beautiful puppy for the queen. It must be trained before it is sent over, and it cannot catch humans."

"Doudou followed the little wolf, and the queen couldn't help but miss him."

Su Peisheng quickly responded: "Your Majesty, Prince Dun wants to see you. The Tenth Master has been waiting outside for a few days. He just gave me a fine snuff bottle."

"If I give it to you, keep it well." Yinzhen fiddled with his ring, "Let him in."

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Prince Dun smiled ingratiatingly as he entered the room.

"Does Prince Dun still have time to report to me?" Yinzhen pointed at the dozen or so memorials on the table, "These are all impeachments of you for sleeping with prostitutes and robbing women."

"Old Ten, have you forgotten the lesson you learned before?!"

"Royal brother, this is all nonsense. I did not force the woman to marry. It was a matter of mutual consent. I took a lot of money, so how can it be considered robbery? I will remember this." Prince Dun saw that Yinzhen looked fine and did not look angry, so he became bolder.

"Brother, I have never been a good official. When my father was still alive, he had to clean up my mess every now and then. Now that I am old, I just want to eat, drink and have fun every day, and become the most dissolute playboy in the Forbidden City."

"Look, I'd better resign from my position in the Ministry of War. Now that I have my fourteenth brother here, the Ministry of War has a leader."

Yinzhen looked at him in silence for a long while: "So you think I will give power to the Fourteenth Prince, so you want to destroy your reputation in advance."

"Not really. I am enjoying it." Prince Dun sat down close to Yinzhen, his face full of hope.

"I am not old yet, but you, my younger brother, are starting to cry about being old." Yinzhen said with a half-smile, "Tenth Brother, you and Fourteenth Brother are both my brothers."

"Fourteen is a good candidate for commanding an army, and I value his talent by employing him."

"You have been in the Ministry of War for many years and have your own team. You were able to do well despite the suppression from the boss back then."

"Now you and Fourteen are one inside and one outside, which is the brotherly cooperation I want to see."

"Please don't let me down for my hard work."

"Brother Emperor, I, your humble servant..." Prince Dun wanted to continue speaking but was interrupted by Yinzhen.

"If any censor submits such a memorial again, I will break your legs. Get out!" Yinzhen was impatient to argue with this troublemaker and directly ordered him to leave. It would be better for him to go find the queen instead.

"Oh, by the way, since you are here, please send the Queen Mother back to the Forbidden City. No one is allowed to visit her on the way."

Prince Dun felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly. He originally wanted to come here to have some free time, but now not only did he have one more errand to do, he also became completely at odds with the Fourteenth Prince.

After sending the Queen Mother back to the capital at full speed, Prince Dun came to have a drink with Lao Jiu.

"Nineth brother, listen to me, I am completely selling myself to fourth brother." The tenth brother slumped in the chair, like a soulless worker.

"The Emperor values ​​the Ministry of War and does not want to see a situation where one company dominates the country. You and Fourteenth are a perfect match."

"Another thing is, with the Empress Dowager causing trouble, the Emperor doesn't dare to use Fourteenth Prince too much. This shows that the Emperor trusts you very much. It's a good thing, Tenth Prince." Yinzhen continued to paint a rosy picture for him.

Listening to Yinzhen's intermittent coughing, Lao Shi frowned and asked, "Ninth Brother, you can't keep icebergs in your room, leave quickly."

"Now that you're here, I thought of adding another pot."

"Brother Nine is still so polite to me." Lao Shi took the initiative to move the ice basin away.

"Nineth brother, your illness..." The tenth brother hesitated.

The ninth brother took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and said, "Tenth brother, it's great that you can save your life. Over the years, I have seen more doctors than you have slept with more beauties. This is because I have the help of a miracle doctor, otherwise I would have followed the emperor long ago." "Is the emperor the emperor..." The tenth brother asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, "Did the fourth brother force you to do it?"

"What were you thinking? Fourth brother only found out about it later and had to cooperate with me." After saying this, Lao Jiu coughed a few more times.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this." Lao Shi didn't want to continue this topic. "Brother, I went to see Hong Yan a few days ago."

"That kid is getting stronger." Lao Shi thought for a while and said, "When that kid grows up, I can retire. He will be the commander-in-chief in the future!"

******
Yinzhen went to look for Yihuan but found nothing. The servants came back and said that the Empress had gone to the martial arts arena.

"What is the Queen doing there?"

"In reply to the emperor, the fourth prince is learning wrestling, and the queen might find it novel and go to take a look." Su Peisheng replied quickly. He was aware of the situation.

The sedan chair turned towards the martial arts arena again.

At this time, Yihuan was standing on the third floor of a small building and looking down. Due to the close distance and good vision, she could see the entire martial arts field clearly.

"Don't you need to take off your clothes to wrestle?" After watching for a few days, Yihuan asked the question that had puzzled her for a long time.

"It turns out that the Queen is not here to see our Fourth Prince." Yinzhen's voice came from behind.

Yihuan hit herself in her heart. How could she be so complacent just because she chased the Queen Mother away?

"Your Majesty, come and look, the little wolf is so powerful that even children who are a head taller than him cannot beat him." Yihuan selectively forgot what she had just said.

"You've been watching for a few days, right? Has Xiaolang ever lost?" Yinzhen leaned on the railing and glanced down.

"No." Yihua recalled and shook her head, "This child is indeed very strong, and the foundation that Father laid is also good."

"That's one thing. Another thing is that they don't dare to win." Yinzhen told Yihuan about the incident. "When I wrestled with the eldest and second brother, I never won. The eldest brother could only beat the second brother very rarely."

"If you don't believe me, observe again. This gentleman dared to throw Xiaolang, but he didn't dare to throw Honghui. His skills are first-class. He can only lose in front of the prince, not win. This is his survival rule."

Yihuan curled her lips and suddenly felt that it was meaningless.

This is just like playing Werewolf in your previous life. You thought you won by relying on micro-expressions and reasoning skills, but in the end you were told that the victorious general had peeked in. You could easily have a heart attack at that moment.

"Hongyun has become a lot calmer recently." Yihuan felt a little emotional when she saw Hongyun standing at the edge of the martial arts field.

These children looked like children in Prince Yong's mansion, but now, less than a year after entering the palace, they have all become adults.

The Forbidden City is a place of forced ripening.

"Well, it's all because of your good education." Yinzhen felt a little proud when he thought of Honghui's performance that night.

"Ah?" Yihuan was puzzled. As for the eldest princess, she was well-educated. Hongyun had never extended his hand to her. The two of them were still unfamiliar with each other. Yinzhen must have said something wrong.

"Nothing, just keep watching, the little wolf is about to launch a sneak attack." Yinzhen pointed at the martial arts arena.

The little wolf and the monkey were stealing peaches and they defeated the man who was two heads taller than them.

This……

This trick is so dirty!

Yihuan looked at Yinzhen, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Who did this kid learn this from?
