The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Song Pingyan complained to Princess Yongle, "That woman is so nosy. First she went to the Marquis of Jian'an's mansion, and then... Hey, could it be that my sister-in-law told the princess about my affairs, and that's why the princess submitted the memorial?"

"Your sister-in-law doesn't know anything about your little thing." Song Shiguang was very annoyed and stood up. "I have to go and inform my father and mother."

Song Pingyan grabbed him and said, "Brother, wait a little longer. Maybe things are not that bad, and the Peng family won't tell anyone about it."

"Not telling the truth would be a crime of deceiving the emperor. Lord Peng is the Minister of Rites, unless he is completely unaware of it."

Now the brother and sister pinned all their hopes on the fact that Lord Peng was unaware of the situation, because no one had ever stipulated that a widow could not be a concubine.

But they forgot that even if a widow could become a concubine, she had to have a clean background and not be covered in filth.

Lord Peng knew about it, and thus Emperor Mingde also learned from Lord Peng that his stupid uncle had slept with another woman.

It's really hard to put into words.

He picked up the memorial on the imperial desk and looking at the beautiful handwriting, he knew that it was a memorial submitted by Princess Yongle on behalf of the prince.

The handwriting reflects the writer, it is clean and firm, and it is obvious that the writer was not affected by this incident at all.

Emperor Mingde raised his eyes and asked, "Peng Qing, do you think this is most likely a fire pit?"

Oh, now they are targeting the royal family. The Changshan Marquis’ Mansion is great.

I haven't had time to deal with these lazy people who have made no contribution to the country, but they bumped into me. I didn't even have the nerve to say that I was sleepy and someone handed me a pillow.

Lord Peng paused for a moment and repeated the words that Madam Mo had taught him. "Your Majesty, this woman had used similar methods on my frail nephew before. It was a pity that my nephew had no chance to enjoy it, but he was also deeply shocked. He was a scholar, and because of his frail body, he had little contact with women, so how could he bear it..."

Every time he spoke a word, his face turned redder. He never thought that he, a minister at such an old age, would talk about these things with Emperor Mingde one day.

What misfortune for my family! What misfortune for my family!

Fortunately, Emperor Mingde remained calm when hearing such a romantic story. "If it is as Peng Qing said, and it is confirmed that Changshan Marquis's mansion set up a fire to confuse the bloodline of the royal family, I will punish him severely."

Lord Peng was shocked, "I am willing to help Your Majesty and personally lead people to investigate this matter thoroughly."

Emperor Mingde said, "Just let the Dongyu Guard investigate. It's better to avoid suspicion about your identity."

Lord Peng hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration of me."

Thank you, Your Majesty. I really don't want to investigate it myself because I would lose face.

The next day, Emperor Mingde summoned Prince Yongle and his wife to the palace for an audience.

The husband and wife both knelt down and paid their respects.

Prince Yongle's face was brown, and he was nervous. "Your Majesty, I have seen you. Long live the emperor."

Princess Yongle lowered her eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, I greet you."

Emperor Mingde glanced at Prince Yongle with a frown, "Long live Prince Yongle! I have lost so many years of my life because I have an uncle like you."

Prince Yongle prostrated himself on the ground and pleaded guilty, saying, "I deserve to die a thousand times."

What on earth was going on? He was summoned to the palace early in the morning. He had no idea that he had made another mistake.

Emperor Mingde really looked down on his uncle. "If you hadn't been so smart this time and hadn't known to ask for the matter of taking a concubine, you would have been blamed for it by the time it was done and the reputation and bloodline of the royal family were tainted."

Prince Yongle finally understood that it was about taking a concubine. Could there be something wrong with this?

He did not dare to ask, nor did he dare to say that the credit for submitting the memorial belonged to the princess. He only repeated the most familiar words, "I deserve to die."

Emperor Mingde said calmly, "Stand up, and take a seat."

Prince Yongle was surprised and gave me a seat. Did I hear that correctly? I thought I had to kneel for several hours. Hehe, it's really useful to be the prince's uncle.

After the two of them sat down, Emperor Mingde said, "Announce the Eastern Feather Guards."

The Dongyu Guard who came in this time was called Luo Tang, and he had been following Ma Chuyi to make contributions.

This time he came in person to perform meritorious deeds, "Your Majesty. Your subordinates interrogated the people who drank with the prince that day overnight, and they all guessed that the prince wanted to set up a trap to make the prince and his concubine sister have sex."

Prince Yongle's head was buzzing. A setup? Were he and Song Pingyan set up? How did this matter even come to the Emperor's attention?

Luo Tang glanced at Prince Yongle, whose face was filled with shame and blush, and continued, "And they put aphrodisiac in the wine that day to disturb the prince's mind."

Prince Yongle blinked, suddenly realized, and felt very aggrieved, "Your Majesty, I said that my forehead was hot that day, it turns out that I was drugged."

"Is there ever a day when your forehead doesn't get hot?" Emperor Mingde sneered at him.

Princess Yongle lowered her head and a faint smile appeared at the corners of her lips.

Emperor Mingde said to Luo Tang, "You continue."

Luo Tang continued to report, "According to investigation, the Duke of Chang Shan and his wife knew about it. The servants said that they heard the Duke of Chang Shan say in person, 'Fortunately, Prince Yongle is stupid'..."

Prince Yongle raised his head and stared at Dong Yuwei, remembering his appearance. Humph!

Luo Tang didn't even look at him. "The masterminds of the whole situation are the Crown Prince Song Shiguang and Song Pingyan. And it's confirmed that Song Pingyan had an affair with a servant in her early years, and angered her husband to death on the spot."

Prince Yongle was stunned, unable to recover for a moment, "What? She still, still, still..."

Princess Yongle couldn't bear to see his stupidity. "You heard it right. It's just what you heard. So she thinks you are very similar to her husband..."

They are all stupid, so sooner or later they will piss you off to death!

However, she felt that her prince would never be angry to death. He would be able to heal himself in less than half a day, so there was no need to worry at all.

Sure enough, Prince Yongle patted his chest and said, "Princess, you are wise. You submitted a memorial to the emperor. If this is brought back to the fiefdom and included in the imperial edict, I might really lose my head. I am so scared. I am so scared."

Emperor Mingde was speechless.

You're not pretending anymore? He even said who submitted the memorial. What an idiot!

Luo Tang left after reporting.

Emperor Mingde was too lazy to talk about Prince Yongle's marriage to a concubine. There were more important topics to discuss. "It seems that Yongle County also suffered a snowstorm last year? Is there any secret that allowed it to get through it so smoothly?"

Being asked this question suddenly, Prince Yongle's eyes were filled with pure stupidity. "Ah? Ah, that..." He turned slightly and said, "Princess, you speak. I, cough, have a hoarse voice."

Emperor Mingde simply couldn't bear to watch it.

Princess Yongle stood up with a calm expression, bowed slightly, and answered respectfully: "Your Majesty, Yongle County did suffer a rare snowstorm last year. The heavy snow blocked the roads, resulting in obstruction of grain transportation, and the people's lives were once in trouble."

Emperor Mingde recalled the snowstorm in Yucheng last year and was still frightened. "Princess, please sit down and talk."

Princess Yongle bowed again, then sat down sideways and continued, "Yongle County has been planning the construction of water conservancy facilities since its early years, in order to improve irrigation conditions and enhance the disaster resistance of farmland. At the same time, meteorological monitoring has been strengthened. Although it cannot be completely accurate, it is very effective in dealing with specific disasters. For example, floods, droughts, and the snowstorm you just mentioned, Your Majesty."
