He conspired against her in his previous life, and he flirted with her on their wedding night again

Handing the drawings to the eldest prince would prevent Xie Jingyin from staring at Prince Ling's Mansion, which would divert the conflict.

The eldest prince's inability to keep the drawings not only tells the emperor that his abilities are limited, but will also incite internal strife between the eldest prince and Prince Jin. In order to prove himself, the eldest prince will spare no effort to investigate the corruption of the Xizhou Dam.

The emperor had already asked the eldest prince to look for Xie Jingyan once, and it was hard to look for him a second time. If he still wanted to get the drawings and account books of the Xizhou case, he had to agree to Xie Jingyan's conditions.

Such a good thing that can be achieved in one fell swoop must not be stingy.

Soon Shen Wan knew that the Queen Mother approached Princess Yanping to put in a good word for Young Master Yun. The Queen Mother was moved by the Yun family's sincerity, but the result was as Xie Jingyan expected, Princess Yanping did not agree.

However, although the Queen Mother's persuasion failed to facilitate the marriage, it was not completely useless. At least it could silence many people.

Even the Queen Mother was moved by the Yun family's sincerity and felt that Young Master Yun was worthy of being the head of Qinghe County. Those who opposed it were doubting that the Queen Mother was old and foolish.

And more importantly, Prince Yanping failed to avoid the conflict with the son of the eldest princess of Huyang in his previous life, and accidentally killed the person. In order to save Prince Yanping's life, the Yanping Palace promised the Yun family to use the death-free gold medal as a betrothal gift. No matter how much the Queen Mother wanted to put Prince Yanping to death, she could not object to the marriage on the pretext that the royal family could not surrender its status.

Xie Jingyan took one step at a time and looked at three steps at a time, nipping possible difficulties and obstacles in the cradle early.

Moreover, it was not just the Queen Mother who persuaded Princess Yanping. In the next two days, many relatives of the emperor went to Yanping Palace to persuade Prince Yanping and Princess Yanping. The palace was so disturbed that it wanted to close the door and thank the guests.

Prince Yanping guessed that it was Xie Jingyan who helped, so he came to the door.

Xie Jingyan was reading a book when Prince Yanping rushed into the study angrily, walked forward, supported the desk and said, "In the past two days, so many people have gone to my Prince Yanping's residence to persuade my father, queen, mother and concubine to agree to the marriage. It was you who asked those people to go ?”

Xie Jingyan turned over the book and said, "I don't have that much face."

His words almost choked Prince Yanping to death.

Of course he knew that Xie Jingyan didn't have that much face, and those people supported the eldest prince.

But he knew that the eldest prince came to Prince Ling's Mansion on the day when the Queen Mother announced that his mother-in-law had entered the palace, and he took a lot of things with him.

Prince Yanping said, "I always thought that we were as close as brothers, but you actually helped Master Yun like this!"

Xie Jingyan raised his head and looked at Prince Yanping, "The Queen Mother's persuasion is useless. No matter how many of those people go, they will only anger your father, the Queen, mother and concubines, and they will not help Young Master Yun's proposal to marry Qinghe."

Prince Yanping frowned, "You know, but you still do this..."

"Because I'm helping you," Xie Jingyan said every word.

"..."

Are you kidding me?

Asking so many relatives of the emperor to go to the Yanping Palace to persuade his father, queen, mother and concubines is not helping Young Master Yun, but helping him?

Prince Yanping looked at Xie Jingyan and said, "Do you think I am so easy to fool?"

Xie Jingyan said, "No matter how many people come, Prince Yanping's Mansion must entertain them well and don't turn them away."

Prince Yanping, "..."

"Chen Feng, see you off."

Prince Yanping still had something to say, but Chen Feng had already come over, "Prince Yanping, please."

Prince Yanping is so angry.

Thinking of Xie Jingyan repeatedly telling him to stay away from Princess Huyang's son, could it be related to this matter?

But he really has no conflict with the son of Princess Huyang.

But Xie Jingyan's caution made Prince Yanping feel uneasy. He didn't dare not take it to heart, and he didn't dare not do what Xie Jingyan said. No matter how many people came to Yanping Prince's Mansion to persuade them, they all greeted him politely.

……

Shen Wan sat on the small couch and put the flower branches cut from the garden into the vase with great interest.

Suddenly there was a "clang" from the window, which startled Shen Wan.

Yinshuang quickly went to close the window, and saw that the sky, which was still sunny in the morning, had suddenly become dense with dark clouds, making it dark and depressing.

Yinshuang closed the window tightly and came back and said, "The day has changed too fast. Fortunately, the princess went to the garden in the morning. If it rains, I may not be able to go to the garden for two days."

When Yinshuang said that, the maid shouted from the yard outside, "It's raining!"

Yinshuang opened the window next to the corridor and saw raindrops falling, and soon the dry ground was completely soaked.

A gust of wind blew in, making the peony in Shen Wan's hand tremble. Yinshuang quickly closed the window.

The rain was pouring heavily and it did not get lighter in the evening. After dinner, Shen Wan had nothing to do. She picked up the embroidery bag to do needlework. Then, Xie Jingyan took the embroidery bag away from her and said, "There is an embroidery room for these tasks. Do it without you having to worry about it."

...I don’t know who asked her to embroider belts, purses and brocade robes before.

Shen Wan said, "I'm not tired. I can do some needlework to pass the time."

Xie Jingyan said, "If you're bored, I'll play chess with you."

Before Shen Wan agreed, Yin Shuang was already diligently moving the chessboard pieces.

Although Shen Wan can also play chess, her chess skills are not good enough for Xie Jingyan to see. Isn't she humiliating herself?

Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyan and said, "I didn't play well, you can't laugh at me."

"Okay, I won't laugh at you."

He smiled fondly.

The two of them listened to the sound of rain outside the window and played chess. The lights in the house were flickering, and the years were quiet.

Yinshuang and Haitang were sitting on a low stool, tying their knots, whispering in low voices. At this time, the door was suddenly clicked.

Yinshuang quickly got up and opened the door.

Shen Wan looked at the messy chessboard and wanted to fight to the death. Yin Shuang came over quickly and reported, "Your Majesty, Prince Qin's palace has been compromised..."

Shen Wan, "...???"

On a rainy day, how could water leak out of Prince Qin's Mansion?

Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyan, "Could it be that someone took advantage of the heavy rain and wind to burn down Prince Qin's palace and destroy the construction drawings and account books that the eldest prince took from you, right?"

Shen Wan remembered that when Xie Jingyan asked the eldest prince to take away the drawings, he said that the eldest prince could not keep the evidence.

It's rainy and humid, so the fire can't spread, but once the fire starts burning in the house, especially the study, it can't be extinguished.

Even if the eldest prince could guess that Xie Jingyin would try every means to destroy the evidence and take precautions, he would still slack off on rainy days, allowing Xie Jingyin to take advantage of the loophole.

Xie Jingyan packed up the chess pieces on the chessboard, curled his lips and said, "On a rainy day, setting fire to Prince Qin's palace is a really unexpected move."

Although it was unexpected, everything was under Xie Jingyan's control. It was just that Xie Jingyin chose to use fire. He didn't know whether he suspected that the eldest prince was responsible for the burning of his Prince Jin's Palace before, and took the opportunity to take revenge, or he wanted to frame the person who burned his Prince Jin's Palace...
