Chapter 172 The Prince is Not Good Enough
imperial study room

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat lazily in the chair, playing with the teacup in his hand, as if listening carefully to what the Emperor said.

"You have teamed up with the Shen family to set up a scheme these days, to deceive the Li family and demote the Bai family. Have they offended you in some way?
This petition for mercy has been sent to my desk."

The emperor knocked on the table in dissatisfaction, and only then did he receive a glance from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"They were seeking death themselves. I was just helping them." Wei Qingye recalled the day when they attacked Nan Zhiyu. The hostility emanating from them was particularly strong.

Seeing his bad behavior, the emperor knew what he couldn't understand. He stood up and walked to Wei Qingye, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly: "Since you have already decided on her, you can't let her just be under your protection. She will ascend to the throne of queen in the future."

As the mother of a country, the burden on her shoulders is not as simple as it sounds.

Wei Qingye raised his hand and placed it on the back of the emperor's hand, and said seriously: "She is not as weak as she looks. This rabbit will bite when it gets angry."

The reason why those few annoying things left in the East Palace have not been sent away until now is that she wants to use them to practice.

The emperor saw that he had a plan in mind, raised his eyebrows slightly, and sneered: "You have your own plan, but it's useless. Until now, the Shen family has not fully recognized you. Son, you don't seem to be doing well~"

The veins on Wei Qingye's temples began to throb. Was this really what his own father would say?

"Father, have you forgotten what it was like when you first went to your grandfather's house?"

The emperor quickly denied it, "What nonsense are you talking about? It must be your uncle who is talking nonsense. I will order him to come to the capital someday and have a good talk with him."

Wei Qingye laughed happily at the side, "Father was forced to drink a table full of wine, and he didn't even get to see mother. In the end, it was mother who found a way to help you out..."

Before Wei Qingye could finish the rest of his words, the emperor covered his mouth with his hand.

"When you were little, you were as smart and well-behaved as your mother. But when you grew up, you became like this. It must be that your uncles secretly taught you the wrong things."

The pair of phoenix eyes curved into crescents as he smiled, and Wei Qingye nodded in a friendly manner, "Yes, yes, father, you are right.

When your uncles come to Beijing next time, you must have a good talk with them."

It was a rare happy moment in the imperial study, and Eunuch Yuande was secretly wiping away tears.

Wei Qingye did not deliberately conceal the news from the previous dynasty, so the news of the sudden changes in the Li and Bai families also reached Nan Zhiyu's ears.

She lay happily on the beauty couch, letting Qiu Cui turn the pages of a storybook for her!
Fu Zhu knelt aside and reported: "In the Li family where Li Zhaoyuan is, someone exposed that the second son of the Li family had abducted a woman and killed a person. He was detained in the prison after being found out by the Dali Temple.

The Bai family was also impeached in the court, stripped of their official positions, fined for three years, and now has become the biggest joke in Jingzhou City."

Qing Dai was massaging Nan Zhiyu's legs. When she heard the Li and Bai families suffer, she muttered, "Serves them right!"

Lian Yue said nothing, but just reached out and touched her hair.

Qingdai rubbed it twice unconsciously, and when she realized what she was doing, her eyes widened.

With a frightened look, he looked at Lian Yue warily, "Tell me, what did you just do?"

Lian Yue imitated Nan Zhiyu's usual behavior, shrugging her shoulders with both hands, her eyes clear as if she didn't understand what you were saying.

Qingdai quickly stood up, jumped three times on the spot, and complained, "I still need to grow taller. Are you afraid that I will grow taller than you, as you touch my head so secretly?" Nan Zhiyu couldn't stop laughing when she saw the two of them playing.

When Mu Chang and Jiang Xu came to visit her, they saw the master and servant quarreling.

"It's a pity that Jiang Jieyu and I were still worried about someone's injury, but he is living such a comfortable life~"

Nan Zhiyu heard Mu Chang's voice and quickly sat up, "Sister Mu, Sister Jiang, why are you here?"

Jiang Xu sat on a small stool beside her, checking her wounds. "Li Zhaoyuan was rejected by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as the assistant to the six palaces, and was forced to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors, not allowed to go out without being summoned. Bai Zhaoyi was even demoted to a concubine by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince because she bumped into His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's cat.

This palace is bustling with noise, but your place is the quietest."

Nan Zhiyu turned her head and glanced at Fuzhu, who was also confused. He had definitely not heard of this news.

Mu Chang touched her little face and said with satisfaction: "You see, it's useless for him. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just ordered Xiao Guizi to pass on the imperial order. He met us on the way and said something extra."

Nan Zhiyu leaned on Mu Chang's shoulder and complained, "My dear sisters, I am almost bored to death here. My hands are injured and I can't touch this or that. I am like a fragile porcelain doll."

Jiang Xu had no resistance to her coquetry, and asked Qian Xiu to bring the tray over, "This is a gift for you, do you like it?"

Nan Zhiyu curiously lifted the red silk and saw a red dress on it. Her eyes immediately lit up. "This light red color is as beautiful and dazzling as the morning glow. It's really beautiful."

Jiang Xu's eyes were filled with a faint smile. "This is the Chaoxia silk tribute from the vassal state. The silk is fine and smooth. The large peony flowers embroidered on the hem of the skirt will appear and disappear as you walk."

Nan Zhiyu touched her beautiful dress and looked at the two of them curiously, "My two sisters, you came to Changle Palace for more than just a visit, right?"

Mu Chang was worried that she would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained: "We came to visit you sincerely, and there is another thing we want you to help with."

The joy in Nan Zhiyu's eyes gradually faded, and she narrowed her eyes slightly, "What's the matter, Sister Mu, you should tell me first, then I will know if I can help."

Mu Chang's face instantly turned red, and she stammered, "Zhizhi, when I first entered the palace, I told His Highness that I had a lover, and His Highness allowed me and the Mu family to be used by him for three years, and after three years, he would let me leave the palace.

Can you help me ask indirectly what His Highness means?"

Nan Zhiyu didn't expect the prince to be so open-minded. She stared at Mu Chang, whose face was flushed, curiously, "I wonder which good boy in Jingzhou City is Sister Mu's sweetheart?"

Mu Chang bit her lip, half covered her face and refused to speak.

Jiang Xu saw her useless appearance and said coquettishly, "Maybe, maybe she looks like General Shen?"

Nan Zhiyu widened her eyes and looked at the two of them in disbelief, "Sister Jiang means that she, she likes Shen Hongfeng?"

Mu Chang nodded awkwardly, "Well, Zhizhi, do you think there's something wrong?"

Nan Zhiyu said seriously with a stern face: "Sister Mu, there are not many people in this world who love each other. I'm afraid you will get hurt."

Although she and Shen Hongfeng are blood siblings, as a woman, she chooses to stand on Mu Chang's side and give her a kind reminder.

Hahahaha, I finally got to Mu Chang! When I first created this character by coincidence, Tang Tang felt that she didn't belong in the palace, but at that time I hadn't thought about where Mu Chang would end up. It wasn't until I wrote about the heroine's brother that I had an inexplicable feeling that these two people would stumble together.

Mu Chang went with Zhizhi when she first went to Yiqiu Palace because she liked Shen Hongfeng unilaterally. This was not only because Mu Chang was obsessed with looks, but also because Zhizhi was a bit like her brother. However, one thing to clarify here is that Mu Chang liked Zhizhi, in addition to these two reasons, because her personality was more compatible with Zhizhi's, or in metaphysical terms, their magnetic fields matched.
