"Your Highness."
In the study room of Minghua Palace, Xiao Lizi knelt on the ground, repeated the information he had gathered, and said, "This morning, Grand Scholar Jin came to the court to plead with the Emperor to make His Highness the Fifth Prince the Crown Prince. The Emperor said that the Fifth Prince would be the crown prince. His Highness the Prince is still young, and he will have to observe for another year before making a decision. But after the dynasty ended, ministers all said that His Highness the Fifth Prince will be established as the Crown Prince just around the corner."
Han Lingfu's heart was filled with despair, and he slumped down weakly.
He knew his father too well. Over the years, whenever the issue of establishing a prince was mentioned, his father would avoid talking about it until last year...
Ever since the court officials invited the fifth emperor's brother to be appointed last year, his father has obviously paid more attention to the fifth emperor's brother. Han Lingfu has also been frightened about this for a long time, fearing that his father will make up his mind.
The establishment of a prince is a major event that affects the whole court. Although my father did not immediately make the fifth emperor a prince, he did not hesitate to express the direction of the Holy Heart. He already regards the fifth emperor as his future successor. Judging from this, unless the fifth emperor's brother behaves really badly within this year, he will definitely become the future prince.
Not only him, but also the courtiers must have thought of this.
Han Lingfu walked around the study irritably.
Bai Muxiao once told him that it was not a good thing to be established as the prince now. His father was in his prime and the prince was powerful, which would only arouse his father's fear, and in the end he would lose his sacred heart.
He admitted that what Bai Muxiao said made sense, but it was really impossible for him to watch the Fifth Emperor's brother grow up step by step!
The prince is the legitimate crown prince. If something happens to his father, the prince will be the undisputed new emperor. Could he still force the palace to seize the throne?
The more Han Lingfu thinks about it, the more anxious he becomes. But now that his uncle's family has been demoted, he goes out of his way to show his kindness to the Pingyang Hou Qu family, but he is still treated coldly, so that now he doesn't even have anyone with whom he can discuss...
Thinking of this, Han Lingfu's eyes suddenly stopped on the jade sandalwood and purple bamboo wolf brush that was placed on the desk. This wolf brush was given to him by Cui Yanyan, the third prince's concubine, so he just put it away.
The Cui family, yes, he now still has the Cui family as his in-laws to help him.
Since the incident with the new crossbow, Cui Wei was unreliable, which made Han Lingfu feel dissatisfied and alienated him, but now he has no one to use...
A flash of determination flashed in Han Lingfu's eyes, and he ordered Xiao Lizi: "Xiao Lizi, go to Cui Mansion!"
Seeing that Han Lingfu had made a decision, Xiao Lizi breathed a sigh of relief and retreated as quickly as possible.
As soon as he left the study door, the little **** guarding outside told him that the third prince's concubine had been here. Xiao Lizi nodded to express that he understood, and immediately ordered the carriage and horses to be arranged, while he went back to report to Han Lingfu.
Han Lingfu frowned slightly when he heard this, and sneered in his heart: If his Xiaoer would have come in to comfort him and discuss countermeasures with him, instead of "sensible" avoiding him just because he found out that he was in a bad mood.
For such a third prince, it was natural for him to neglect her.
Not long after, someone came to report that the carriage was ready, so an hour later, Han Lingfu arrived at Cui Mansion.
Cui Wei welcomed him into the outer study. After the servants served hot tea, Cui Wei dismissed them and asked people to guard outside the study, leaving only the two of them and Xiao Lizi.
"Your Highness is here this time for matters related to the morning court today?" Cui Wei asked tentatively.
Han Lingfu nodded slightly. The Cui family was destined to be tied to Han Lingfu, so he simply said bluntly: "Now that the Five Emperors and the Queen are gaining momentum, I cannot sit idly by and ignore them!"
Cui Wei said respectfully: "What His Highness said is true."
If in the past, the fifth prince was the legitimate son, for Cui Wei, there would be nothing wrong with him being made the prince. But now, since his daughter has become the third prince's concubine, he naturally hopes that Han Lingfu can be crowned the great treasure. , so that the Cui family can ascend to heaven in one fell swoop.
Today's morning meeting also made Cui Wei very uneasy. If Han Lingfu didn't come to him, I'm afraid he would take the initiative to go to Han Lingfu in a few days to find out more. Now it seems that Han Lingfu is indeed determined to win this position, so it will be easier!
Han Lingfu took a symbolic sip of tea and said bluntly: "I wonder what my father-in-law would suggest?"
Cui Wei expressed an idea that came to his mind and said meaningfully: "What do you think of building Anbo Mansion?"
Han Lingfu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Jian Anbo?"
The Jian'an Bo Mansion has been highly trusted since the late emperor. The late emperor even handed over the Kunshan Jianrui Camp to the old Jian'an Bo, and now it is inherited by the current Jianbo Bo. Kunshan Jianrui Battalion is stationed in Kunshan, twenty miles southwest of the royal capital. It is one of the important troops guarding the royal capital. It has twelve battalions of troops, each with about 500 men, and a total of more than 6,000 people. Although The military strength is not large, but firstly, it is better because it is close to the royal capital; secondly, this Jianrui Battalion is not an ordinary army, but a ladder force formed during the late emperor's period. At the beginning of the founding of the country, Jianrui Battalion secretly climbed the ladder He climbed the city with thin flesh and made many military exploits for the siege.
If you can control Kunshan Jianrui Camp, you will probably play a vital role in winning the heir in the future.
Han Lingfu naturally thought about winning over Jian Anbo, but...
His brows furrowed slightly. Jian Anbo was a rather rigid person. He had tried several times before when he was in power, but the other party did not accept the move. Apparently he did not want to take sides in the fight for the heir apparent.
Cui Wei continued: "Prior Prince Jian'an was the undisputed crown prince before his accident, but now..." As he spoke, Cui Wei snorted coldly, showing disdain, "Today's Prince Jian'an Pei Yuanchen is just How can a useless person inherit the title? If His Highness can help the second brother of Jian'an Bo Mansion seize the title of heir apparent, they will naturally..."
It can be said that Sima Zhao’s intention was known to everyone, so Han Lingfu didn’t know that the second brother-in-law of Jian’an Bo Mansion coveted the title. Originally, he wanted to win over Jian Anbo, so he was naturally alienated from his second wife, but now that Cui Wei said it, it made some sense. Instead of counting on the ungrateful Jian Anbo, it would be better to give the second room a grace. The second house is a benefit, and naturally it belongs to him!
The more Han Lingfu thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was feasible. He couldn't help but bring up a faint smile and said: "What my father-in-law said is true... I will trouble my father-in-law about this matter."
"Please rest assured, Your Highness." Cui Wei agreed readily. Before Han Lingfu was satisfied with his knowledge, he changed the topic and said, "...Your Highness, Yan'er is in the palace now, and it is not convenient to get in and out. "When Yan'er was at home, she liked the preserves made by her mother the most, and she even bothered Your Highness to give them to Yan'er."
Cui Yanyan? A flash of stiffness flashed in Han Lingfu's eyes, and a hint of dissatisfaction emerged in his heart: Cui Wei really pushed for an extra mile, making the palace seem like a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. Whether it was Cui Yanyan's lack of food, or her clothes were too short, even the candied fruits had to be brought into the palace. !
No matter what he was thinking in his heart, he smiled politely and said, "Then my son-in-law will thank his father-in-law and mother-in-law for Yan'er."
This was the first time that Han Lingfu called himself son-in-law in front of Cui Wei, and naturally he meant to be close to him.
Cui Wei smiled with satisfaction and said: "Your Highness, Yan'er has been spoiled since she was a child. If she offends her in any way, please don't take offense with her."
Han Lingfu felt unhappy, but he also knew that now he still needed to rely on the Cui family's strength, so he said patiently: "Father-in-law's words are serious. Yan'er is gentle and virtuous. It is a blessing for my son-in-law to have a wife like this."
For a moment, both Weng and son-in-law laughed, looking very close to each other. As for what they were thinking in their hearts, only they themselves knew clearly.
After discussing future countermeasures with Cui Wei for a while, Han Lingfu's carriage drove out of the Cui Mansion with a "clack".
In the carriage, the smile on Han Lingfu's face had long since disappeared, and he looked at the can of sour plums aside with evil eyes.
Just now Cui Wei kept talking about candied fruit. He thought it was some kind of candied preserved fruit or petals such as crabapples and roses, but he didn't expect it to be sour plums.
This girl naturally has a sweet tooth, but what kind of sour plums does Cui Yanyan like to eat?
The fact that they had not consummated their marriage had already made Cui Yanyan public knowledge last time, making him a laughing stock. I thought that after neglecting her for a few days, she would naturally restrain herself, but I didn't expect that Cui Yanyan was still ungrateful and wanted to rely on her mother's family to make him submit. Cui Wei also knew that he needed to rely on the Cui family now, so he wanted to use this to hint that he should let Cui Yanyan give birth to a grandson as soon as possible?
Han Lingfu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his dissatisfaction became stronger. This Cui Mansion is too greedy!
Seeing Han Lingfu's bad expression, Xiao Lizi asked cautiously: "Your Highness, do you want to go back to the palace?"
Han Lingfu opened the curtains, glanced at the gray sky outside the car, and said calmly: "Go back to the palace."
The coachman responded, waved his whip high, and the carriage galloped towards the palace.
After entering the palace, Han Lingfu went directly back to Minghua Palace. He originally wanted to go back to his room, but after hesitating, he went to Cui Yanyan's place.
Before Han Lingfu reached the door, Cui Yanyan had already received a report from the chamberlain, saying that His Highness the Third Prince was coming to her residence. She was happy and shy, and couldn't help but think: It is getting late now, His Highness is at this time Come to her, could it be that he finally figured it out?
Cui Yanyan felt a surge of love in her heart. She hurriedly packed herself up and went out of the house to greet him.
"I have met Your Highness." Cui Yanyan bowed gracefully to Han Lingfu, deliberately tilting the more perfect right side of her face toward Han Lingfu.
It's a pity that her efforts were in vain. Han Lingfu didn't even look at her and said calmly: "No courtesy. Let's go inside and talk."
Cui Yanyan didn't expect Han Lingfu's attitude towards her to be so cold, but she quickly told herself that as long as he was willing to come to her, as long as he was willing to accept her, she didn't believe she couldn't warm his heart!
Thinking of this, Cui Yanyan smiled charmingly and said warmly: "Your Highness, please come this way." She lowered her eyebrows and invited Han Lingfu into the inner room.
After Han Lingfu sat down, Cui Yanyan poured him a cup of tea with her own hands, "Your Highness, please drink a cup of tea first to moisten your throat." Then he asked, "Has your Highness had a meal? Do you want me to order someone to go there?" Ready?"
Cui Yanyan considers herself virtuous and virtuous, and does nothing wrong, but any of her actions are an eyesore to Han Lingfu, and any of her words are noisy to his ears. He said impatiently: " I have eaten it."
He thought of something and looked at Xiao Lizi, "Xiao Lizi..."
With a glance from him, Xiao Lizi understood and hurriedly handed the jar of sour plums to the maid next to Cui Yanyan.
"Is this a gift from Your Highness to me?" Cui Yanyan said with a surprised look on her face, "Thank you, Your Highness, I like it very much." She eagerly took the jar of sour plums from the hand of the dowry maid and showed a touched smile. .
"Mrs. Cui asked me to bring this to you." Han Lingfu didn't give her a chance to dream, and told the truth coldly.
Cui Yanyan's expression froze for a moment, but she quickly smiled nonchalantly, "Then I still have to thank Your Highness for bringing me into the palace."
Cui Yanyan put the sour plum aside and said to Han Lingfu, "Your Highness, today I went to have a chat with my concubine."
"Oh." Han Lingfu blew the tea foam carelessly.
Cui Yanyan twisted her handkerchief and said coyly: "My concubine, she hopes we will have good news as soon as possible..." As she spoke, she lowered her head even lower and did not see the sarcasm in Han Lingfu's eyes.
Han Lingfu looked at the jar of sour plums again with a half-smile. Cui Yanyan really had a lot of flowers. She used the power of Cui Mansion to intimidate him, and then used her concubine to suppress him. Do you think that he will bow his head in this way? ?
Seeing Han Lingfu's delay in responding, Cui Yanyan became a little anxious, thinking that since her wedding, she has been alone in the empty room... she can't go on like this!
Cui Yanyan bit her lip. It was rare that Han Lingfu came to her place. She couldn't miss this good opportunity in vain. She wanted to keep Han Lingfu overnight today to try to give birth to a son as soon as possible.
Cui Yanyan ignored her shyness, raised her pink face, and said tenderly to Han Lingfu: "Your Highness, it's getting late, it's time to go to bed." Her eyes were like spring water, and her soft cherry-red lips were slightly parted. , looked at Han Lingfu shyly.
Unexpectedly, Han Lingfu stood up coldly and said, "Then you should go to bed early." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the house.
Cui Yanyan was completely stunned. Han Lingfu actually wanted to leave. How could this be allowed?
Without thinking, she quickly stepped forward and grabbed Han Lingfu's sleeve, blurting out: "Your Highness, if you don't want to stay..." Spend the night?
Han Lingfu looked at the slender hand grabbing his cuff, a flash of disgust flashed in his eyes, his originally cold expression became more and more condensed, and his handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and he said in a deep voice: "I If I want to stay in the palace, do I need your permission?"
He pinched Cui Yanyan's wrist coldly, and the bone-chilling pain made her let out a low cry. She reflexively shrank her hand, her face turned white, and she said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, forgive me, I didn't mean this."
"No matter what you mean, I hope you remember one thing!" Han Lingfu interrupted her coldly and looked at her with warning eyes, "You are already the third prince's concubine, you should be content. Well, keep your duty as the third prince and concubine, and don’t think about things you shouldn’t have..."
What does he mean by this! ? Cui Yanyan's pupils shrank sharply and she looked at Han Lingfu in disbelief. Her mouth opened and closed, but she seemed to have taken dumb pills and could not make a sound.
Han Lingfu, however, was too lazy to look at Cui Yanyan again, coldly rolled up his sleeves and walked out of the room.
The dowry maid on the side was as silent as a cicada, shrinking her head and feet, not daring to make a sound.
Cui Yanyan froze on the spot, her mind went blank, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
She never expected that Han Lingfu would actually say such words to her. What did he mean by this? Did he want her, the dignified third prince's concubine, to become a decoration for outsiders to see?
Cui Yanyan was so angry that her whole body was shaking slightly, her whole face was as hideous as a demon, she bit her lower lip fiercely, and murmured to herself: "Why? Why..." He wants to treat himself like this!
The answer immediately emerged in Cui Yanyan’s mind——
Bai Muxiao!
Han Lingfu would treat himself like this, no doubt because of that **** Bai Muxiao!
Cui Yanyan couldn't help but think of Han Lingfu personally going to the Imperial College to pick up Bai Muxiao, and couldn't restrain the overwhelming hatred in her heart.
Originally, when she saw that Han Lingfu was in a bad mood today, she wanted to take a step back and stop bringing this matter up to make him unhappy.
But the matter has come to this, even if she wants to retreat, there is no way out!
This Bai Muxiao, before she even came to the door, she had already fascinated Han Lingfu. Not only did she, the dignified third princess, become a laughing stock among the ladies of the capital, but she also made Han Lingfu so indifferent to her... ...If she really comes through, she, the third princess, will be trampled into the mud sooner or later.
Cui Yanyan is angry, jealous and hateful. If Han Lingfu just likes Bai Muxiao's color, she won't mind at all. Men are all the same anyway, just like her father has one aunt after another. Even if such a lowly maid is favored for a while, it is just because a man is greedy for novelty and beauty. She only needs to firmly hold her position as a wife. Concubines always have concubine rules.
But now...
Cui Yanyan's eyes were as gloomy as a storm coming. Originally, she wanted to wait for Bai Muxiao to come in and then torture her slowly. Now, she was extremely sure of everything, that is, she would never let Bai Muchiao in!
Cui Yanyan couldn't help but look at the dancing candlelight, her face sinking like water.
Time flies by, the tail of May flashes by in the warm wind of early summer, and June comes in a blink of an eye.
Nangong Yue’s fourteenth birthday has finally arrived.
Although Xiao Yi had officially accepted the errand, for him, the errand was not as important as Nangong Yue’s birthday, so he openly and openly passed the matter to the deputy commander and happily accepted the errand. Following Nangong Yue out of the house, she went to Ritang Mountain.
He wanted to take her out to play, so Nangong Yue naturally let him arrange everything in a happy mood.
It was not the first time that Xiao Yi came to the hot spring village at the foot of Ritang Mountain. Xiao Yi took Nangong Yue to one of the hot springs in the village without anyone else leading the way.
There are several springs in this village, with hot springs flowing all year round.
Xiao Yi deliberately chose the largest spring and ordered people to build a house next to it as a bathroom early on. He dug a pool three to four feet square and led the hot spring water into the pool for bathing. The hot spring pool is now complete.
I saw clouds of hot steam rising from the surface of the milky white hot spring, like clouds and mist, making the entire bathroom foggy and making the field of vision unclear.
Nangong Yue's eyes were fixed on several pear wood trays placed next to the pool. On them were several sets of white Chinese clothes, as well as fresh fruits and fruit wine.
Nangong Yue suddenly realized it, and said with curved eyebrows: "It turns out that you brought me to the hot springs today."
Xiao Yi nodded with a smile and said: "Such a nice hot spring resort, wouldn't it be a waste if we don't take a dip in it?" As he said that, he started to take off his outer robe.
The corner of Nangong Yue's eyes twitched, and she asked in a slightly stiff tone: "You...don't you want to go clubbing with me?"
Xiao Yi paused for a moment, his handsome face half-lowered, he pulled his collar shyly and said: "It's useless even if you covet my crown prince's jade body, my crown prince's middle coat is absolutely I won't take it off! This prince will definitely protect his wife like a jade!" He said and gave her a flirtatious look.
Nangong Yue's face was full of black lines, and she translated his "nonsense" into adult language to mean that he would wear Chinese clothes and soak in the hot springs with her.
And Lily on the side was already covering her mouth and laughing so hard that her shoulders were shaking.
Nangong Yue took a look at the milky white hot spring water and felt that Xiao Yi's suggestion was not unfeasible. She simply asked Baihui Lily to help her undress and remove the hair accessories on her head. She simply She put her black hair on her head... Although it was a bit troublesome, when she soaked in the warm hot spring water, she felt that everything was worth it.
The fatigue caused by the previous more than an hour's journey seemed to be dissolved with the heat, and I felt as if I was in heaven and on earth, and my whole body was extremely comfortable.
Nangong Yue's whole body was soaked in the warm hot springs, with only her head exposed. The heat was steaming around her, and her pretty face was soon turned red and watery.
Xiao Yi kept looking at her with a smile, sneaking closer and holding her hand under the water.
Nangong Yue turned her head and smiled at him. That charming smile made Xiao Yi feel that his heart was about to melt.
After soaking for nearly half an hour, the two came out of the hot spring and went to pick some fresh fruits and vegetables together. Xiao Yi also took her up the mountain to hunt some game. Nangong Yue wanted to cook it herself, but today was her birthday, and Xiao Yi wanted to cook a big meal for her.
Nangong Yue had a smile on her face as she watched Xiao Yi working for her.
Although Xiao Yi's cooking skills were not even as good as average, and the fine ingredients were cooked like a big pot of rice in the military camp, Nangong Yue still ate with praise.
Her praise made Xiao Yi feel proud and decided to practice hard and cook a feast for his stinky girl next time!
The two happily stayed in the village for one night, and went hiking the next morning. Then they returned to the capital with unfulfilled feelings.
By the time they returned to the palace, the sunset had almost completely set.
The two got off the carriage at the second gate and saw Zhu Xing already waiting there. Apparently he had something to report to Xiao Yi.
"Then I'll go back first."
Nangong Yue said that she wanted to go back to the inner courtyard alone, but Xiao Yi held her hand and refused to let go, so Nangong Yue simply went with him.
Zhu Xing stood there with eyes and noses in mind, turning a blind eye to the two people's cohesiveness, but secretly rejoicing in his heart: The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are such a perfect match! Maybe next year... er, maybe the year after tomorrow, there will be a little master!
The three of them quickly arrived in the study. After sitting down, Zhu Xing reported one by one some of the things that happened in the royal capital during the two days that Xiao Yi left the royal capital.
Most of them were court affairs, including the emperor officially setting the time for the second and third princes to open their palaces; placing the three adult princes in the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Works and the Lifan Academy as interns, while the fifth prince went to the Ministry of Household Affairs; The Yue envoy once again brought up the matter of peace negotiation, but the emperor just asked the third prince to continue to accompany them around the capital and avoided talking about the peace proposal.
Besides this, there is another thing that is neither big nor small...
"...At the morning of the court today, Mr. Gu, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, presented a message to the emperor, imploring him to rectify the noble families. He said that when the late emperor was still alive, he said that there should be rules for inheriting titles, and a **** could not ascend the title; The second reason is that those with deficient moral character are not allowed to ascend the throne; the third is that those with physical disabilities are not allowed to ascend the title. Nowadays, many nobles have irregular behaviors, which cannot be tolerated and should be treated as a matter of etiquette."
Xiao Yi nodded slightly. This was indeed not a big deal, but the Ministry of Rites suddenly issued such a letter. I don’t know what the reason was.
At this time, Nangong Yue was slightly surprised and asked, "People with disabilities are not allowed to ascend the throne... Is this really what the late emperor said?"
Zhu Xing didn't understand why she asked like this, but he still replied: "When the late emperor was still alive, he did establish such a rule, but he did not strictly require it. All the time, as long as the emperor approves the rule, the attackers can , and no one said anything. ... Even if a **** attacks a noble, there are only one or two in the royal capital."
Nangong Yue looked unhappy and asked: "Is the emperor accurate?"
Zhu Xing replied: "The emperor ordered the cabinet to discuss it again. No decision has been made yet."
Nangong Yue said with a frown: "If the emperor agrees to this matter, what will the eldest brother-in-law do?"
Pei Yuanchen is not good at walking, so he can be classified as "disabled". If he loses the title of eldest son, he will not be able to continue his position in the future. In the future, the eldest brother will have to depend on the second wife. Putting aside everything else, the second wife of the Pei family is not a fuel-efficient lamp!
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and suddenly said: "How could Mr. Gu from the Ministry of Rites suddenly propose such a proposal to the emperor?... Is it just a coincidence, or does it have an ulterior motive?"
Nangong Yue was slightly startled, "Ayi, you mean... someone deliberately arranged this?"
Xiao Yi said with a smile: "Not long ago, in the morning, someone asked the fifth prince to be crown prince. Judging from the emperor's attitude, he almost agreed. Moreover, the fifth prince was sent to the Ministry of Household Affairs this time. Obviously, the emperor is Start training him to handle political affairs."
Nangong Yue naturally knew about this, so she heard Xiao Yi continue: "I think the three adult princes may not give up and try to give it a try." As he said this, he explained to Nangong Yue, "If I remember correctly, the Pei family of Jian'an Prefecture has been leading the errands of Kunshan Jianrui Camp since their ancestors."
Nangong Yue blurted out, "Kunshan Jianrui camp?" She suddenly understood as if she was enlightened, "Is this matter aimed at the eldest brother-in-law's heir apparent from the beginning?"
Xiao Yi said keenly, "If we can get the support of Jian'an Bo Mansion in Kunshan Jianrui Camp to garrison the royal capital, it will be the best help for us to seize the throne. But Jian An Bo has always been steady, and only I am loyal to the emperor and will not easily favor any prince. Therefore, it should be one of the princes who wants to find another way."
Since you can’t get the support of the current Jian Anbo, then it’s the same thing if you get the support of the next Jian Anbo.
Once you help Erfang win the title, you will be able to firmly hold Jian Anbo Mansion and even Kunshan Jianrui Camp in your hands.
What a good plan!
By relying on the rules set by the late emperor, we can easily seize the throne of Pei Yuanchen as the heir apparent. However, the Pei family only has one son, Pei Yuanchen, and Pei Yuanchen has no heirs. There is no doubt that the position of the heir apparent of Jian'an Bo will fall. In the hands of the second room.
Seeing Nangong Yue's worried look, Xiao Yi felt heartbroken. Whether it was the fight for the heir apparent in Jian'an's Mansion or the fight for the royal throne, he had nothing to do with him, and he never cared about it. However, he offended the stinky girl. To be so upset is simply unforgivable!
Xiao Yi ordered without hesitation; "Zhu Xing, order someone to check on Mr. Gu from the Ministry of Rites. I want to know which prince he belongs to."
Zhu Xing respectfully obeyed the order and went out to give orders.
Xiao Yi held Nangong Yue's hand and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, let's figure things out first, and then we'll find countermeasures."
Nangong Yue nodded and smiled reluctantly at him.
The emperor's three eldest princes all have ambitions to seize the throne. Although she thinks Han Lingfu is more suspicious, she still can't make a conclusion before everything is verified.
Nangong Yue thought for a moment, then called Bai Hui, who was waiting in the study, and said, "Take a jar of the fruit wine we brought back from the village today and send it to Jian'an Bo Mansion, so that eldest sister can have a taste."
It was already evening and he sent fruit wine specially. It was obviously not as simple as letting Nangong Cheng try it. Baihui understood and retreated.
