Xie Jingyan just reported the matter. After the report, he grabbed Shen Wan's hand and took Shen Wan away.

After leaving the imperial study, Shen Wan said, "Why are you leaving in such a hurry? You didn't even bow to the emperor and leave."

Xie Jingyan said, "If you salute more, the Emperor will not gain an extra piece of flesh."

If everyone thought this way, there would be no time for the blood outside the royal study to dry.

Moreover, she didn't agree with Xie Jingyan's words. Maybe he would salute the emperor. The emperor was in a good mood. If he ate half a bowl more rice, wouldn't he be able to gain weight?

Shen Wan couldn't break away from Xie Jingyan's hand, so she had no choice but to let him hold her.

After walking forward for a while, he saw the eldest prince Xie Jingqi walking over. He smiled and said, "Did the father punish the sixth emperor's brother?"

Xie Jingyan said with an indifferent expression, "I don't care if the emperor punishes me. I just don't know if the ministers who impeached me don't care anymore."

Xie Jingqi frowned and was about to ask Xie Jingyan what he meant, but Xie Jingyan had already taken Shen Wan away.

After walking a little further, Shen Wan asked in confusion, "Why did you tell the eldest prince that the emperor punished the ministers who impeached you?"

"At least half of those impeachment leaks came from the eldest prince," Xie Jingyan said.

"..."

As expected, these court battles were not something her brain could participate in.

The eldest prince made it clear that he was just watching the fun and did not think it was a big deal. It was not enough for Xie Jingyan to kick one of Prince Anding's ribs. He also wanted Xie Jingyan to fight with Prince Anding's house. It would be best to involve Empress Song and Xie Jingyin, but he certainly did not expect Xie Jingyan The impeached ministers will be held accountable, and the emperor actually punished him, although the punishment was not severe.

But after being punished, those ministers would have to stand up and admit their mistakes tomorrow morning. By then, Xie Jingyin would know that the eldest prince was secretly stirring up trouble.

There is really no good fault.

Seeing that Shen Wan was silent, Xie Jingyan glanced at her and saw that she was smiling. Xie Jingyan said, "Why are you laughing?"

Shen Wan said, "You can easily see through their plans, you are the best."

These words successfully pleased Xie Jingyan. He pinched Shen Wan's nose and said, "You actually flatter me. Does the sun come out from the west?"

Seeing him looking up at the sun, Shen Wan said, "I'm not flattering you, I'm telling the truth, okay?"

Xie Jingyan was very helpful, with smiles pouring out of his eyes and a look of doting on his face.

The two of them walked forward to the horse racing yard, and saw Xie Jingyin and Fu Shu walking over.

Seeing them, Xie Jingyin's face was gloomy. Fu Shu had the delicate frailty of a newlywed, and was even more charming than the peonies blooming in the royal garden.

Although privately it is a life-and-death relationship, when they meet, there is no shortage of greetings.

However, they only met each other. Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan left the palace, while Xie Jingyin and Fu Shu went to Shoukang Palace to serve tea.

Back at Mo Yuxuan, Yin Shuang and Hai Tang came to greet them. Both maids were worried that Xie Jingyan would be punished. Yinshuang poured tea for Shen Wan and asked, "Has the emperor punished the prince?"

"I was fined one year's salary," Shen Wan said.

"Then what?" Yinshuang asked.

Shen Wan raised her hand and knocked on her forehead, "Isn't a one-year salary penalty not enough? How else do you want the emperor to punish the prince?"

So you’re only fined one year’s salary?

Yinshuang and Haitang both breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the maids in the yard said that the emperor hated the prince and would definitely punish him severely. Unexpectedly, he was only fined a year's salary. Yinshuang followed Shen Wan and was used to Shen Wan's lavishness. As long as the princess is less deceived by others, the emperor's two-year salary penalty to the prince is nothing.

When she found out that the emperor had rewarded Shen Wan, Yinshuang was even more happy from ear to ear.

Soon, the emperor's reward arrived. Twenty pieces of silk and satin were piled high into a hill. They were all the finest silk and satin. Some of the designs and colors could not be bought outside.

Twenty pieces of silk and satin, ten for Shen Wan and ten for Xie Jingyan.

The rewards were so even that Shen Wan could not afford not to think too much.

Wouldn't the emperor reward her with silk and ask her to continue making brocade robes for Xie Jingyan?

Thinking of the time it would take to make a brocade robe, Shen Wan put the thought aside. Don't speculate on the holy will.

However, although making the brocade robe was tiring, Shen Wan still picked two pieces and planned to make another brocade robe for Xie Jingyan. She would do it slowly and not be in a hurry like before, so she would not be too tired.

Speaking of tired, she was really tired from the trip to the palace. After lunch, Shen Wan couldn't bear the sleepiness and went to bed. Xie Jingyan was worried that she would accumulate food if she went to bed after eating.

Shen Wan slept for more than half an hour before waking up. When she woke up, she sat on the bed and stretched herself. Yin Shuang came over and said, "While the princess was sleeping, news came from the Hou Mansion saying that the weapons supervisor died suddenly. The master intends to seek the position of weapons supervisor..."

Shen Wan frowned slightly. She knew that Xie Jingyin and the eldest prince would compete for the position of weapons supervisor, but she did not expect that Xie Jingyin would arrange for the second master to compete for it.

The second master is a fourth-rank official and a military commander, so he is suitable for that position. In addition, the second master is his father's younger brother. The emperor will give his father some face. The second master has a good chance of getting the position of weapons supervisor.

However, the power of the eldest prince should not be underestimated, and it is not yet known who will take the position of weapons supervisor.

In the next few days, all forces in the court were vying for the position of weapons supervisor. This afternoon, the result finally came, but the result was beyond Shen Yuan's expectation, no, it was beyond everyone's expectation.

At that time, Shen Wan was feeding fish in the pavilion, watching the sun shine on a pool of broken gold.

The little maid Dong'er ran over and panted, "Princess, there is good news!"

When Shen Wan turned around, Yinshuang had already asked, "What's the good news?"

Dong'er said happily, "The emperor promoted the fourth master to be the weapons supervisor."

Shen Wan's eyes widened when she heard this, and she couldn't even believe it, "Is the news true?"

Dong'er nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Who dared to spread false news despite being ordered by the court?

However, this news is indeed a bit unbelievable. After all, the Fourth Master is only a fifth-grade official, and the Ordnance Superintendent is a fourth-grade official. This is equivalent to a sudden promotion of two levels.

Shen Wan asked, "Do you know who recommended the fourth uncle?"

Dong'er said, "It was recommended by the prince."

"Which prince?" Shen Wan blurted out.

Dong'er, "..."

He must be his own prince. Princes from other princes must be called by titles.

Shen Wan reacted and couldn't believe it even more.

She knew that Xie Jingyan had left the palace, but how could he enter the palace, and even recommend his fourth uncle to the emperor? Wasn't he unwilling to even say a few words to the emperor?

Shen Wan was happy that the Fourth Master could be promoted, but she wanted to know more about how Xie Jingyan recommended the Fourth Master.

She got up and went back to Mo Yuxuan, but Xie Jingyan hadn't come back yet. She waited for half an hour before she heard familiar footsteps.

Xie Jingyan opened the bead curtain and entered the room. He saw Shen Wan coming up to him with clear and bright eyes. She asked him with a bit of excitement, "You recommended my fourth uncle?"

"it's me."

Shen Wan's heart jumped uncontrollably, "Why would you recommend my fourth uncle to the emperor?"
