The prince dotes on his wife: a reborn peasant woman is not easy to mess with

The eunuch told Xia Yechen and Zhou Xiaoyuan what he knew. After understanding, the two decided to go to the palace together.

After Xia Yechen stepped into the palace, he found that the other princes were already there. He saw the emperor sitting on the dragon throne with a serious face.

The emperor looked at the princes in front of him and said in a deep voice: "I summoned you here today because of corruption in Nanyang County in the north. I want to hear your opinions."

King Jing stood up first and said: "Father, I think we should send troops to Nanyang County to bring the corrupt people to justice."

The emperor listened to Prince Jing's words and nodded. He was satisfied with King Jing's answer. After all, King Jing was his son and was deeply loved by him.

When Xia Yechen saw this, his heart moved. He knew that the emperor was examining their abilities at this moment, so he stood up and said: "Father, I think we should first send a confidant to Nanyang County to investigate the truth."

The emperor felt very satisfied after hearing Xia Yechen's words. He nodded: "Your thoughts are very thoughtful. You can understand the situation better by doing this."

Seeing this, the other princes expressed their opinions and suggestions. The emperor was satisfied with their answers, but his eyes never left Xia Yechen.

At this time, the emperor suddenly said: "The corruption case in Nanyang County is of great importance, and a prince must be sent to investigate the case. Which of you is willing to go?"

Prince Jing and Xia Yechen took the initiative to stand up and expressed their willingness to go to Nanyang County to investigate the case together.

The emperor looked at them, thought for a moment and then said: "Okay, you two go together. Remember, you must act carefully, find out the situation, and catch the corrupt person."

Xia Yechen had some doubts in his heart.

Why did the emperor let himself go with Prince Jing? He looked at the emperor and found that the emperor's eyes were shining with a profound light, as if he was examining their abilities and tacit understanding.

Prince Jing and Xia Yechen left the palace together and headed to Nanyang County. On the way, Xia Yechen couldn't help but ask: "Brother Jing Wang, why do we go to Nanyang County together?"

Prince Jing smiled: "Actually, I don't know either. But I think the emperor may want us to help each other in the investigation and complete the task together."

Xia Yechen nodded, feeling that Prince Jing's words made sense. Both of them are princes, and both are smart and capable people. They will definitely be able to cooperate well with each other in the investigation.

At this moment, Concubine Shu and Concubine Jia also arrived. When the emperor saw them, he showed an approving smile on his face: "It's great that the two noble concubines are here too."

"I want to praise Prince Jing and Xia Yechen. They took the initiative to go to Nanyang County to investigate the case. They are really responsible."

Concubine Jia felt a little dissatisfied when she heard the emperor's words.

She looked at Xia Yechen with a worried look on her face: "Your Majesty, Prince Xia Yechen is weak. I'm afraid he can't stand the climate and environment of Nanyang County. It's better to let the other princes go."

After Concubine Shu heard what Concubine Jia said, her heart moved.

She knew that Xia Yechen was indeed not in good health, but she also knew that if Xia Yechen could successfully uncover a major corruption case, his status in the emperor's heart would definitely improve.

So she decided to let Xia Yechen give it a try.

She said to Concubine Jia: "Concubine, don't worry. Although Prince Xia is weak, he is smart and capable, and with the help of Prince Jing, I believe they can

enough to complete the task. "

"Besides, this is also an opportunity for Prince Xia to express himself."

Concubine Jia became even more dissatisfied after hearing Concubine Shu's words. She knew that Concubine Shu wanted Xia Yechen to perform meritorious service, but she also knew that this task was very dangerous.

What would happen if something happened to Xia Yechen?

So she continued: "Concubine Shu is right. Although Prince Xia is weak, he is smart and capable. I believe he will be able to complete the task. But..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted.

The emperor stopped the dispute between Concubine Shu and Concubine Jia, and then announced that he would have lunch with many princes. After lunch, Concubine Shu came to the emperor with deep thoughts.

Concubine Shu said: "Your Majesty, I have something to ask."

The emperor looked at Concubine Shu and asked gently: "What's the matter with Concubine Shu? But it doesn't matter."

Concubine Shu was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Your Majesty, Xia Yechen may encounter danger when he goes to Nanyang County. I hope that your majesty can allow Xia Yechen to establish a temporary tooth palace to protect his own safety."

The emperor frowned slightly and asked doubtfully: "Establishing a temporary Yafu? This is a big deal, Concubine Shu, are you sure?"

Concubine Shu nodded: "Your Majesty, I am sure. Although Xia Yechen is the prince, his safety is also crucial to us."

"Establishing a temporary Yafu can give him a power to protect himself, and can also deter those with evil intentions."

The emperor thought for a moment and then said: "I need to discuss this matter with all the princes. After all, this is not a trivial matter."

Concubine Shu knew that the emperor would seriously consider this matter, so she respectfully withdrew. And summer

Yechen also learned about Concubine Shu's proposal to the emperor to establish Yafu.

He knew in his heart that although this was a sign of concern for himself, at this critical moment, he could not let the emperor have any doubts about himself.

So Xia Yechen decided to go to the emperor in person to explain the matter. He came to the emperor's palace, saluted the emperor and said, "Father, I have something to discuss with you."

The emperor looked at Xia Yechen and asked gently: "What's the matter with Xia Yechen? But it doesn't matter."

Xia Yechen said: "Father, I have learned that Concubine Shu proposed to you to establish a temporary Yafu. I feel that establishing a Yafu at this time is not a wise choice."

The emperor frowned slightly and asked doubtfully: "Why? Isn't Concubine Shu worried about your safety?"

Xia Yechen explained: "Father, I am very grateful for Concubine Shu's concern for the child. However, establishing Yafu at this time will inevitably arouse suspicion and uneasiness among other princes. This is not a good thing for us."

The emperor was very happy that Xia Yechen could make his own proposal to reject the establishment of Yafu, which made him appreciate his son even more.

He decided to equip Xia Yechen with several highly skilled guards to protect his safety.

The emperor said to Xia Yechen: "Xia Yechen, I am very pleased that you can understand the stakes of establishing Yafu. You have a heavy responsibility in going to Nanyang County this time."

"Now you have to prepare well and do your best to complete the mission."

Xia Yechen replied gratefully: "Father, I will definitely live up to your expectations and do my best to complete the task."

The emperor nodded and announced his resignation. After Xia Yechen returned to his mansion, Zhou Xiaoyuan

Come to him. She knew that Xia Yechen was going to Nanyang County to investigate the case and wanted to go with him.

Zhou Xiaoyuan said to Xia Yechen, "Xia Yechen, I want to go to Nanyang County with you."
