The concubine is soft and charming, and the prince is willing to seduce her

Chapter 182 The Prince is Very Old~
Wei Qingye subconsciously touched his face and murmured, "Am I very old now?"

Shen Zhiyu couldn't help but burst out laughing, "How can your highness be so cute?"

Wei Qingye's tone was unclear: "I am a handsome man, how can I be described as cute?"

Shen Zhiyu approached and said, "In my eyes, Your Highness is very cute. There are thousands of men in the world, but no one can compare to Your Highness."

Wei Qingye felt relieved after hearing this. "Zhizhi is right. Let's continue."

Shen Zhiyu: “…”

Wei Qingye: “No more?”

Shen Zhiyu: “No~”

After returning to the East Palace, Shen Zhiyu felt much more relaxed. She lay lazily on the beauty couch, drowsy.

Without so many concubines in the Eastern Palace, there were fewer troubles. She also didn't need to be on guard every day, fearing that one day she would be poisoned by someone and the baby in her belly would be affected.

The Eastern Palace is idle now. Wei Qingye was very busy today and did not even return to the Eastern Palace, apparently because of the sudden threat of bandits.

Shen Zhiyu, Mu Chang and Jiang Xu were sitting under the flowers and trees in the courtyard. There were a lot of fruits and snacks on the low table in front of them. The water in the small red clay stove was boiling and the aroma of tea was wafting in the air.

Mu Chang ate the plump grapes, leaned back on the recliner behind her, and sighed: "Oh~ This is the life we should live, comfortable and free."

Jiang Xu threw a ledger at her, "Concubine Mu, since you are so comfortable and at ease, then quickly check this ledger."

Mu Chang lazily stood up and asked, "Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appoint you as a concubine, while Zhizhi is still a concubine?"

Shen Zhiyu had never thought about this question. After all, in the current Eastern Palace, her position didn't seem to matter!
Jiang Xu took a sip of the mellow tea, thought for a while and guessed: "Maybe His Highness wants to get it done in one go!"

Mu Chang peeled a few more grapes and ate them happily. "By the way, has His Royal Highness been very busy these days?"

Jiang Xu paused while flipping through the account book, and said with a serious expression, "I heard that the events of the previous dynasty were very difficult."

Shen Zhiyu nodded, she opened the book in her hand and sighed, "I heard that the bandits from the southwest have captured Jiangzhou City, and the troops sent to suppress the bandits suffered heavy losses."

The issue they were discussing was also a problem that was worrying the civil and military officials in the court.

Those bandits used Jiangzhou City as a shift to capture Anzhou City, which was known as the granary of the world. They had both money and food, and were now unscrupulously recruiting soldiers and selling horses, intending to attack Jingzhou directly and seize the throne.

The emperor's face was solemn as he looked at the civil and military officials below and listened to them express their opinions.

His expression was solemn, and he did not interrupt.

Wei Qingye stroked the green jade pendant in his hand, without saying a word.

The Minister of War stepped forward and said, "The bandits are a mob. They were able to occupy Jiangzhou and Anzhou because, firstly, the Southern Qin garrison was not prepared, and secondly, they were too careless about them."

After thinking about it, the emperor felt that what he said was right, and asked again: "What do you think, my dear minister?"

The Minister of War said: "I think that sending a good general to lead the army to wipe out the bandits in one fell swoop will stabilize the people's hearts."

"I second the proposal!"

"I second this motion!"

The emperor looked at the ministers in the hall and asked, "Do you have anyone to lead the troops?"

After this statement was made, each minister had his own explanation.

Shen Hongfeng took the lead and stepped forward. "Your Majesty, I am willing to go and wipe out the bandits and restore peace and prosperity to Southern Qin."

Everyone looked at him with approval. He was indeed the high-spirited General Shen, so majestic and outstanding.

The emperor frowned, he didn't think Shen Hongfeng was the right person. He had just returned from the border with Shen Hui, and hadn't rested for a few days. It was obviously not a wise move to lead troops to attack Anzhou.

"Father, I am willing to lead the troops there."

All the officials in the court looked at the handsome and elegant Crown Prince. The slight doubt in their hearts disappeared when they met his ink-black eyes.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can lead the troops to suppress the bandits, not only will the morale of the army be boosted and the people of the world will feel at ease, but even the court officials like them will feel at ease.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a man of both civil and military talents. He is a wise ruler in governing the country and a fierce general in killing enemies.

If he returns victorious this time, the throne of the Southern Qin Kingdom will soon change hands!
The court officials' constant praise of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not improve the emperor's expression at all.

He knew the benefits of having His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lead the troops, but this was his precious son, the crown prince whom he had spent all his efforts to cultivate.

How could he bear to let him take risks?

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go with Your Highness." Shen Hongfeng asked again.

He would rather go himself than let this dog prince go, after all, his sister only has this man.

When his sister came home that day, he looked at the way the palace maids served his sister meals and was afraid that she was pregnant.

That bastard prince is the father of her future nephew. On the battlefield, swords are merciless. If anything happens to him, won't my sister be a widow? !
The emperor was still somewhat hesitant, and the ministers in the court knelt down one after another to ask for permission, begging His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Shen to go together to eliminate the banditry and demonstrate the majesty of the Southern Qin Kingdom.

The emperor looked at the prince again and asked in a deep voice, "Have you really thought it through?"

Wei Qingye knew the meaning behind the emperor's words. He lifted his robe and knelt straight: "As the crown prince of Southern Qin, I have the responsibility to protect Southern Qin. I am willing to go to recover the lost land, wipe out the bandits, and bring peace to the world. Please stay in the hall and wait for the victory report!"

The emperor reluctantly waved his hand to agree, and ordered the two men to lead the troops to set off on a certain day.

When Shen Zhiyu learned that Wei Qingye was going to lead his troops to war, the teacup in her hand accidentally fell onto the hem of her skirt.

She didn't bother to clean up, and grabbed Lian Yue's hand and asked, "Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince now?"

Lian Yue thought of what Xiao Guizi said, lowered her head and whispered: "Your Highness and General Shen are probably inspecting the troops in the military camp right now."

Shen Zhiyu frowned, "Brother, do you want to go with us?"

She turned and went to the inner room, searched for her notebook on the bookshelf next to the beauty bed, and pulled out several sheets of paper.

These were all things she had figured out based on the Jiangshan Fengshui Map and the terrain of Jiangzhou City and Anzhou City in the Shanhe Chronicles. She didn't know if they would come in handy, but she had to take them with her anyway.

Lian Yue hurriedly helped her put these things into the envelope.

Shen Zhiyu rummaged through her dressing table again, and some pearl hairpins were knocked to the ground by her, but she didn't care at all.

At night, Wei Qingye did not return. Shen Zhiyu lay alone on the couch and fell asleep with a frown on her face, as if she had dreamed of something bad.

"No--"

Accompanied by a scream, Shen Zhiyu suddenly opened her eyes.

Qiu Cui hurriedly walked forward with the lamp on. Seeing that she was sweating and her face was pale, she comforted her in a gentle voice, "Don't be afraid, Master. Dreams and reality are opposites."

"Really?" Shen Zhiyu grabbed her hand and was reluctant to let go.

Actually, we originally wanted Zhizhi to go with us, but now that she has a baby, we thought about it again and again and felt that it was not suitable for her to go with us. So we had no choice but to separate.
