"My son... is not here for this matter." Yan Junchu looked a little hesitant, "It's for something else."

It's good that it's not about leading troops. The emperor's expression eased, "What else can make you so embarrassed? Tell me."

"Father, are you going to choose princesses for your brothers?"

The emperor glanced at the prince, and then slowly said: "You have to get married when you are old enough. What's the point of dragging it out? Why do you suddenly ask this?"

Yan Junchu frowned slightly, and then seemed to think of something and calmed down. Then he pretended to think and said: "Father said before that his son and the princess should get along well. It's not good to marry someone into the East Palace and add people to it."

The emperor was a little surprised to hear this, "Who said that the East Palace should add people?"

"Isn't it what you mean?" Yan Junchu asked with a look of extreme surprise.

The emperor frowned, "Who told you what?"

Yan Junchu looked embarrassed, then looked at his father and said, "My son shouldn't talk about people behind their backs, but you know the Crown Princess's personality, she is always straightforward, she asks me directly if she has something to say, so..."

The emperor knew that it was Su Xinyi who asked. But where could Su Xinyi know this?

It must be from the harem.

The emperor's expression was very subtle, staring at the prince and asking, "What do you think?"

Yan Junchu looked bitter, "My son has been practicing at least half an hour in the martial arts field every day recently."

Emperor:?

Looking up at his father's puzzled expression, he coughed lightly, "The Crown Princess practices at least one hour every day."

Emperor:...

You are useless!

"So what?"

"My son can't beat the Crown Princess now. You are sending someone to the East Palace now. Isn't this embarrassing for my son?"

"Heh." The emperor laughed angrily, "Does your wife dare to beat you?"

"Of course not, but think about it, those who can enter the palace to be concubines are the daughters of ministers in the court, and not every woman is as straightforward as the Crown Princess..." Speaking of the word straightforward, the prince paused slightly, and then continued, "What if they have some conflicts between their personalities, what if the Crown Princess beats them?"

The emperor thought of the concubines in his harem, who did have their own personalities. Concubine Li and the queen were incompatible.

If others were to have ulterior motives, they would keep their dignity and act secretly, but Su Xinyi's personality... The emperor's expression was very subtle.

"Can't you control her?" The emperor asked deliberately.

The prince sighed, "Father, the Crown Princess's father was a meritorious official of Southern Qi, and besides her being too 'straightforward', I can't find any other shortcomings. Besides, I am busy with official duties every day, and I rarely spend too much time with the Crown Princess, so how can I have time to deal with others. Even if they enter the East Palace, most of them can only stay alone. You are still looking forward to your son giving birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible. If your son only goes to the Crown Princess, how can others be happy? This... Isn't this embarrassing for your son?"

The emperor almost said directly after listening to his son's words that he only cares about official duties and has no interest in women.

But when he thought about it, his son was so busy because of him as a father. After all, he was old and wanted to be lazy, and many court affairs were thrown to the crown prince.

As the culprit, the emperor was not guilty at all. He had to do some serious work at a young age.

It was all the women in the harem who made trouble for her!

The emperor thought so in his heart, but his face did not show it at all. He only said: "You have some truth in what you said. Su Xinyi's character is indeed a bit inappropriate. At least wait until she gives birth to a legitimate son before letting someone into the East Palace."

If Su Xinyi gives birth to a son, he will be the eldest son of the prince and his legitimate grandson. As long as the child does not grow up crooked... wait until then, let someone into the East Palace. Su Xinyi is busy taking care of the child and probably has no time to deal with others.

Everyone is happy.

Yan Junchu was not surprised to hear this, but he did not expect his father to agree so readily. The other strategies he prepared were useless.

"Thank you, father." Yan Junchu said with a smile as if he had let out a sigh of relief.

The emperor's mouth twitched. He didn't like it no matter how he looked at her, but thinking that Su Xinyi was Su Chun's daughter, he held back his anger and said, "If there is nothing else, go down."

Don't be an eyesore here. It makes me angry just looking at her.

"Son has something else to tell you." Yan Junchu immediately put on the appearance of a capable prince, "Father, I want to report to you about my seventh brother's trip to the south."

Hearing the prince mention Prince Rong, the emperor's face darkened, "It's already been decided, let him get ready. You don't need to intercede for him, he's been playing with cats and dogs all day, not doing his job, just getting into trouble for me. Let him go, so he won't get in my way."

Yan Junchu smiled when he heard it, "Father, my seventh brother has made great progress now. This time he told me that he is willing to take over the business of the caravan, but there is something he dare not tell you, and he wants me to help him intercede."

"Is there anything he dare not do? Don't always spoil him, I think he is getting more and more out of shape now that you are backing him up." The emperor frowned, he was very satisfied with the prince's friendship with his brothers, but he was not very happy with excessive partiality, "Throw him out and train him well, so that he can be your right-hand man in the future. If he doesn't make progress, I think he can only be a playboy in this life."

Hearing that his father did not mention King Xiang, King Jing and King Wu, Yan Junchu's eyes flashed deep in his eyes, and then he raised his head and said sincerely: "My son feels that the seventh brother's temperament is indeed too flamboyant. Someone can be around to watch him, so I thought about letting my third brother go with him."

"The third child?" The emperor heard the prince suddenly mentioning King Wu, "How can he control the seventh child with his boring gourd?"

"Although the third brother has a calm temperament, he does things quite safely. He and the seventh brother coordinate perfectly with each other." Yan Junchu paused at this point, "Furthermore, my son also has a suggestion, and he wants to let Su Yi be the governor. Go along."

The emperor's eyes fell on the prince, "Su Yi? Is his injury healed? I remember that Su Yi's martial arts skills are not outstanding, so I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to let him go."

"Back to my father, Su Yi's injury has basically been healed, because someone else has taken over the duties of the Imperial Forest Army because of the injury. Now that he has recovered, it is not easy for him to resume his duties. If he does, he will inevitably end up in trouble. The reputation of bullying others.”

After listening to the prince's words, the emperor chuckled and said, "You are quite thoughtful."

Su Yi has become the prince's brother-in-law. If he really knows how to be a member of the Royal Guards, unless he is given the position of Ling'an, it will indeed be detrimental to his reputation if his replacement vacates the position for him.

But now in the army, each guard has a carrot and a pit, and this official position is not something you just want.

Yan Junchu showed a helpless look, "Father, there is no other way. I don't want to cut him off just because he is related to me, but just because he has this relationship with me, I can't embarrass him, otherwise in the end The one who is embarrassed is the son."

Su Yi is Su Xinyi's brother. After Su Yi recovered from his injury, he couldn't finish his errands. The weight of Su Xinyi, the Crown Princess, became lighter in the eyes of others. As a result, he didn't know how much trouble would be caused. The Crown Princess would be embarrassed, and he Naturally, this prince does not have much glory.

That's what he said, and his father would definitely agree with what he said.

For the sake of the prince's majesty, arranging an errand for Su Yi was not a big deal.

"Moreover, Su Yi is very different now from before. In the last military competition, if Wu Daohong hadn't deliberately learned the moves against him in advance, he would have been at least 70% sure of winning in the end. Moreover, he and his seventh brother also have We have met on several errands, and we are quite familiar with the seventh brother, so there will be no other conflicts when we get along with him."

The emperor understood what he said. King Rong was afraid of Su Xinyi, so naturally it was not easy to mess with Su Xinyi's eldest brother.

emperor:……

With Su Yi as the governor of the caravan, Wang Rong couldn't jump, at least he didn't dare to jump too much.

The emperor felt that although the prince's idea was selfish, it looked good overall.

"I will think about it."

Yan Junchu knew that things could not be done in one go, so he nodded, "If my father has no other instructions, I will leave first."

"Go." The emperor waved his hand.

Yan Junchu bowed and left, not mentioning a word about Zhangping Mansion from the time he came in to the time he left.

After the prince left, the emperor smiled after a while and said, "It's quite interesting, Hu Siyi, what do you think of this idea?"

Hu Siyi was shuddered and immediately took a step forward, "Your Majesty, how can I know this? Moreover, I have no contact with the prince of the Duke of Qi, and I really don't know him well, so I don't dare to make any judgments."

The emperor snorted, "Stop playing tricks on me and tell the truth."

Hu Siyi wiped his sweat and said, "Your Majesty, slave... Although I don't know Master Su's abilities, His Royal Highness Prince Rong still respects the Crown Princess very much. If Master Su is in the caravan, it may have some miraculous effects."

Hearing the word "miraculous effect", the emperor's eyes twitched.

Seeing that His Majesty didn't say anything else, Hu Siyi bent back and stood in the corner, quickly losing his presence.

Yan Junchu left the Zichen Palace and had no intention of returning to the East Palace immediately. He was thinking of going to the Sixth Department, but he didn't want to bump into King Rong head-on and stopped him when he saw him walking in a hurry.

King Rong didn't know what he was thinking. He was stunned for a moment when he heard his elder brother's voice. Then he recovered and hurriedly came over, "Brother, why are you here?"

"What are you doing? Can you lose your mind while walking?" Yan Junchu looked at the person and asked.

King Rong looked disheveled and said, "Don't mention it. I just had a quarrel with King Xiang. It's bad luck."

Yan Junchu stepped forward and asked as he walked: "What's the noise about?"

King Rong followed him subconsciously, forgetting that he was going to the harem to complain to his mother, and immediately said: "He didn't know where he heard that I wanted to take care of the caravan, and he actually came to ridicule me. Do you think I owe it to you?" beat?"

"Prince Xiang is mocking you?" Yan Junchu didn't believe a word of it. With Prince Xiang's temperament, it was not easy for him to take the initiative to mock someone.

"Brother, you don't believe me either?" King Rong almost jumped up, "Who knows what kind of medicine he took wrongly? I've seen all the fireworks set off during the New Year, so I should put him in the sky."

Yan Junchu:......

"speak nicely."

King Rong pursed his lips, "Okay, okay, okay, I didn't speak properly. Every word I said was from the bottom of my heart. Brother, don't you think something is wrong with Prince Xiang now? I looked at this kid from Ding'an Wei has been dishonest since he came back, and has been communicating with ministers in private, so be careful."

"What, you saw it?"

"That's not true. I've seen him several times. You said, just once or twice. These several times made me feel that something was wrong with him." King Rong and King Xiang were not at odds with each other in the first place. Now that he has the opportunity, he will definitely add fuel to the fire. Complain.

Yan Junchu smiled and said, "Okay, you don't have to worry about Prince Xiang's affairs. When are you going to go south?"

King Rong said with a dull face, "Can't we wait any longer?"

When I think about him having to lead the caravan all alone and eating dirt, I feel like a sunflower in the autumn. After all, he is also a noble prince.

"When do you want to wait? Don't forget the current situation in Zhangping Mansion." Yan Junchu looked at King Rong with a stern expression.

King Rong couldn't help but murmured: "The old men in the court were so noisy that they didn't want to send troops? I might not be able to start a fight even if I look at them."

"The city wall of Zhangping Mansion is tall and can be defended, but what about a place like Yulinwei? Have you ever thought about it?"

King Rong was startled, and couldn't help but think of those days in Yulinwei. His expression moved slightly, and finally he sighed, "Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go. When do you want me to leave?"

"I've found you two companions."

"Really? I knew my eldest brother was good to me, who is it?" King Rong was immediately happy, as long as he was not the one who suffered.

"One is your third brother, and the other is Su Yi."

The smile on King Rong's face froze. The third brother was just a lump of wood. He couldn't make a sound when kicked with three sticks. What's the point of asking him to go and make a wooden pestle?

Su Yi?

Isn't that more of a joke? Su Yi is Su Xinyi's eldest brother. This is not companionship, this is putting him in the shackles!

"Brother, you are my eldest brother, right? You can't do this." King Rong immediately objected. Neither of them felt comfortable. No, no, absolutely no.

"Although your third brother talks little, he is quite steady in his work. Now that Su Yi has recovered from his injury, the errands of the Royal Forest Army have been taken over by others. There is no vacancy for the time being. It is just right for him to be your helper and practice." Yan Junchu finished speaking. King Rong said, "This caravan is of great importance. I don't trust you alone. You can think about it yourself."

Rong Wang was stunned and felt that his life was gloomy.

Third brother, he can bear it, but Su Yi...

"This time, you have another thing to investigate. Something is not quite right in Zhangping Mansion. You can investigate in secret to see who is colluding with the courtiers to advocate for peace."

King Rong was shocked, "Brother, what do you mean..."

Yan Junchu stopped what he was going to say next, "Seventh brother, you are no longer a young man. It's time to do business. I don't trust anyone else to entrust this matter to you. You are the only one I can trust."

King Rong felt moved in his heart and immediately said: "Okay, leave it to me. I will definitely find out that bitch who is eating everything inside and outside."
