"The son of the right governor Yao Gongda." Princess Guangping County said very proudly. Although she felt that Yao Gongda's son was not as good as Shang Junyan, but now Shang Junyan is not as good as Yao Gongda, and he can still tie the two with a little work. .

The queen was silent.

The princess of Guangping County didn't notice anything was wrong with her sister, and said to herself: "How has Jones been wronged in so many years? He must not let others laugh at his marriage. Sister, do you think it is..."

Only then did Princess Guangping realize that something was wrong with her sister's expression. Her voice gradually weakened and she asked hesitantly: "Sister, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Otherwise, why would his face be so ugly?

The queen took a deep breath and looked at her sister, "Your natal family and mine have now become common people."

The Princess of Guangping County knows, but so what, her sister is still the queen, and she is still the Princess of Guangping County, and she has made arrangements for her family, so she can't be an official and just be a wealthy and idle person.

When the queen looked at her sister with some confusion, she calmed down and blamed her for not telling her what was going on earlier. She looked at her with a solemn look on her face and said, "I asked you to marry Guangzhou back then. Prince Ping, you know this marriage is not easy."

"Yes, I know, but I won't get married in the end." Princess Guangping said with a smile, "Sister, I know that with you here, there is nothing I can't do."

"No, His Majesty the Prince of Guangping County did not agree to let you marry him. It was only because I begged His Majesty that we got the marriage. But because of this, His Majesty always favored Concubine Li in those years."

The smile on Princess Guangping's face suddenly froze, "Sister, what do you mean?"

"Didn't you realize? The Prince of Guangping County has not been reused in these years. He was originally an idle member of the royal family and did not have much talent. The reason why he has a good relationship in the capital is because of Prince Rong."

The smile on Princess Guangping's face completely disappeared, "Sister, how can you speak so harshly? The prince has done a lot for you over the years."

"It doesn't matter if my words are unpleasant or not, but you have to remember one thing. If you want Guangping County Prince's Palace to be safe and not become a common people like our natal family, then find a suitable family for Jones."

Princess Guangping's expression suddenly turned ugly. She was not a stupid person. At this time, she slowly understood. She looked at her sister and muttered, "Sister, do you mean that His Majesty won't allow it?"

"I think you've been carried away recently. When Qiong Sifei fell in love with Shang Junyan, I didn't agree to the marriage, but I couldn't help but Qiong Si really liked him. That's why I thought of letting Shang Junyan marry him first and let Qiong Si do it. So that people can prepare for house filling. Don’t think about it. Even though the Pingjing County Prince’s Palace has gone downhill like this, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army is a powerful person. Do you think His Majesty can agree?”

King Rong is her son, and King Rong's cousin is married to the son of the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army. How could His Majesty agree?

His Majesty will not agree to anything that is not good for the prince.

Even though His Majesty has always been harsh with the Crown Prince, and has always been very strict with him in front of the courtiers, it seems that there is not much love between father and son, but... She has been married to His Majesty for so many years, and His Majesty has never allowed her to interfere in the Crown Prince's affairs.

There is no care or concern here, it is obvious that the protection is too tight.

If others don't know, how can she know?

Seeing the unwilling look on her sister's face, the queen said after a while, "There is no choice but to do this. Unless you and I don't want it to be easy."

The princess of Guangping County broke into cold sweat. Although she was a little reluctant, she nodded, "I understand. Since it is not good for Prince Rong, let's give up."

In the final analysis, only if King Rong is good can people like them be good.

After the princess of Guangping County left, the queen's face looked a little tired. Thinking about Su Xinyi's very strong attitude today and unwilling to suffer at all, the emperor really took great pains to choose a wife for the prince. This was because he was afraid that the weak princess would not be able to withstand the concubines in the harem. Concubine, so I specially picked someone like Su Xinyi.

Su Xinyi:......

The queen sneered, what's the use of being forceful? In life in the royal backyard, brute strength is not enough, and being strong-tempered is not a good thing.

It's easy to break if it's too strong.

After Su Xinyi returned to the East Palace, she did not take her words with Concubine Li and others to heart. She knew that these people had their own thoughts and their words were not malicious. She knew who His Highness was better than anyone else.

Even if someone really wants to enter the East Palace...

Even if she feels uncomfortable, she won't object.

Since I was going to be the Crown Princess, I had already thought of this, but I have never seen any Crown Prince or His Majesty’s backyard with only one person. Isn’t this a joke?

Su Xinyi suppressed the little bit of dissatisfaction deep in her heart. His Highness was kind to her. As long as she was good to His Highness, she wouldn't care about anything else.

Aunt She came in with someone, "Princess, these are the account books of the East Palace over the past few years. Your Highness wants to give them to you for review."

Su Xinyi sat behind the writing desk and said to Grandma She without raising her head: "Mammy, could you please sort out these account books with me and sort them out according to the etiquette of the year and month? I can check them later."

Aunt She greeted her with a smile, "It's just that we don't have enough manpower here. Your Highness, the people in the back palace only have internal guards, and most of them are illiterate. All the people who followed you from the Duke's Mansion, including the rough envoys, There are only a dozen or so girls, so I think you have to choose some people to come in. "

Su Xinyi stopped writing, thought for a while and said, "I will discuss this with His Highness later. Mammy, should the East Palace's share be accounted for in the harem?"

Mammy She shook her head and said, "This old slave doesn't know. You have to ask Zhang, the chief steward."

"Then go ask Zhang Jian." After Su Xinyi's small fight with the Queen and Concubine Li today, she knew that they had no goodwill towards the East Palace and herself. If the expenses of the East Palace had to be accounted for in the harem, it would not be a good thing.

The Queen could easily block her.

Mammy She asked someone to carry the account book to the tea room to start working, and then she went to the front hall to find Zhang Jian.

Su Xinyi felt that she could not live off her wealth. She knew that His Majesty looked healthy now, but illness would come like a mountain. In a few years, His Majesty would fall seriously ill and then be bedridden.

She didn't have much time left. His Highness the Crown Prince was always kind-hearted. What he wouldn't do, she, the Crown Princess, could make up for him.

Su Xinyi thought of the sixty horses and twenty pack armors in her betrothal gift, and she always felt a little weird. Her family had brought these things back as a dowry.

The horses were now well fed and well fed in the stables of the Eastern Palace, and the pack armors could not be left in the warehouse to gather dust.

The Eastern Palace did have a martial arts arena, but she didn't know until she got married that the original martial arts arena was to the east of Chongming Palace, where all the officials and guards of the Eastern Palace could go, but it was not easy for her, a crown princess, to go there.

However, the crown prince turned the original Eastern Palace North Garden into a martial arts arena, which was built specifically for her. Although it was not as big as the one in Chongming Palace, it was enough for her.

The crown prince's meticulousness and care could only be more clearly appreciated after she got married.

Yan Junchu returned to Deyang Palace after handling affairs in Minguang Palace. He did not let anyone report, and walked in slowly. He didn't see anyone in the main hall, so he turned to the side hall, and sure enough, he saw Su Xinyi holding a pen and staring blankly, not knowing what she was thinking.

The sun shone through the window onto her body, and the golden light stained her usually sharp facial features with a warm color, making her look very gentle.

She occupied the prince's desk and used his writing brush. Yan Junchu smiled and felt that he had to ask someone to add another table.

His laughter made Su Xinyi recover. When she looked up, she saw Yan Junchu's smile. Su Xinyi felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly stood up and said, "When did His Highness come back?"

"What are you writing?" Yan Junchu asked with a smile.

Su Xinyi said, "I haven't thought about anything." She hadn't come up with a plan yet, so she didn't bring it out to bother the prince, and simply changed the subject, "How is the situation in Zhangping Prefecture?"

Yan Junchu's main task today was to discuss the affairs of Zhangping Prefecture with the officials of the Eastern Palace. Regarding the fact that he had to lead troops to the expedition first, the officials of the Eastern Palace were also divided into two factions, and no result has been discussed yet.

"There is no latest news from Zhangping Prefecture, but the time is about right."

Su Xinyi was silent for a moment, looking at Yan Junchu, "Your Highness still wants to go to the battle in person?"

Yan Junchu met Su Xinyi's gaze and smiled, "It's hard to say now, listen to the will of the emperor."

Su Xinyi understood, the prince must have reported to the emperor but was denied by his majesty.

There is no way now, if his majesty doesn't give in, we can only wait for a while.

Su Xinyi couldn't say whether she was relieved or a little disappointed, but overall it was a good thing for her that the prince didn't lead the troops to the battle, leading troops to fight would always be dangerous.

"Zhangping Prefecture has a commander in charge, and has fought with the Tatars several times. It should be able to cope with it now, and your highness doesn't need to worry." Su Xinyi persuaded.

Yan Junchu did not deny it, but asked Su Xinyi, "Did you encounter anything when you went to the harem today?"

"No." Su Xinyi smiled and shook her head, only mentioning that the matter of the princes marrying wives might have to be postponed.

Yan Junchu heard this and said, "That may not be the case."

Su Xinyi looked at him sideways, "Father, do you have time to arrange marriages for them?"

Yan Junchu chuckled, "Do you think the selection of a princess will be as grand as the selection of a crown princess? Father just looks at the list sent by the queen and then chooses the person."

Su Xinyi really didn't know, is it that simple?

Then the few of them are still worried, is this for her to see?

But what's the point of showing her?

What does it have to do with her whether the princes marry or not, and when they marry?

Su Xinyi couldn't figure out the trick here for a while, so she simply told the prince, it's not shameful to ask.

After listening to this, Yan Junchu's eyes flashed, and then he looked at Su Xinyi and said slowly, "I'm afraid they have other intentions. They mentioned the matter of the princes marrying wives, so they can tell you about the East Palace. Except for you, the Crown Princess, there are no other vacancies in the East Palace."

Su Xinyi was stunned for a moment, and thought that what the prince said made sense. They just wanted to annoy her.

Su Xinyi had thought it through clearly before, but now she was asked to ask the crown prince about this matter in person, and she suddenly couldn't ask.

Yan Junchu carefully looked at Su Xinyi's expression and smiled and said, "If someone wants to enter the East Palace, what are you going to do?"

Su Xinyi's heart tightened, and she wanted to act tolerant and generous, but she found that she couldn't laugh at this moment.

Thinking and doing are two different things.

Su Xinyi's hesitant look obviously deepened the smile in Yan Junchu's eyes. He said meaningfully, "Oh, I know what the Crown Princess meant. Don't worry, I will tell my father."

What?

What did she say?

What did His Highness understand?

"Your Highness, I..."

"I know that you have deep feelings for me, so you naturally don't like me to have someone else around you. Don't worry, I will do as you wish. I will tell my father that no one will enter the Eastern Palace for the time being. Are you satisfied? Are you happy?"

Su Xinyi looked at the prince in astonishment. Such a big pot fell on her head. God knows she didn't say anything.

Yan Junchu forced himself to smile and turned away, "Don't worry, I will go and tell my father now."

"Your Highness, wait..."

Yan Junchu stretched out his hand to stop Su Xinyi, "Ayuan, don't worry, I will definitely do it, you can wait for me to come back."

"Your Highness, listen to me..."

"You don't need to say it, I understand your intentions." Yan Junchu said, and suddenly lowered his head and kissed Su Xinyi on the lips.

Su Xinyi:...

In a flash, the prince had left.

She:...

What a huge pot.

It's over, what will His Majesty think?

Yan Junchu couldn't suppress the smile on his face when he left the house, and his eyes were full of smiles. Such Ayuan was quite cute.

After Yan Junchu entered the palace, his expression became heavy and worried. Hu Siyi had just sent off several ministers, and when he turned around, he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and hurried over to greet him, "Hello, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Seeing that His Royal Highness looked very bad, could something have happened?

Hu Siyi's heart trembled, and his whole body tensed up.

"General Manager Hu, is my father free now?" Yan Junchu asked, looking at Hu Siyi with a frown on his face.

Hu Siyi nodded hurriedly, "Your Majesty is free at the moment, Your Highness, wait a moment, I will go in and report."

Yan Junchu nodded with a melancholy face, Hu Siyi turned around and went in, and soon came out again, bowing to His Highness and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty asked you to go in."

Yan Junchu nodded and stepped into the hall.

The emperor was reading the memorials behind the imperial desk. Seeing the prince come in, he looked bad as Hu Siyi said, so he put down the memorial in his hand and asked, "What happened?"

Yan Junchu seemed to be a little hesitant, wanting to speak but not knowing how to speak, with a tangled face.

The emperor frowned more tightly and said with a stern face, "Just say it if you have something to say. What can make you so worried?"

He thought about it, could it be about the expedition? Fearing that his son would play misery, he immediately took the initiative!

"If it's about leading the troops, you can get out!" The emperor looked unkind. The prince was the crown prince. What if there was an accident when he led the troops himself?
