After rebirth, the empress was spoiled by the emperor's uncle like a little girl

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Fengran held his forehead helplessly.

"You do know that you have to change into night clothes when you do bad things."

"Of course! In the Jianghu stories that Xuanji gave me, all the female heroes are like this!"

A Bao was very confident and righteous, so Xuanyuan Fengran had to take a deep breath and silently tell himself to stay calm.

The excitement of the welcoming banquet made the entire Prince Pingyue’s Palace drunk.

In the dead of night, even the wind is quiet.

Xuanyuan Fengran was worried about Abao whose right hand had just been injured.

After much hesitation, he personally took her over the rooftops to visit Princess Xuan's Handan Courtyard.

However, his little girl, who had no sense of being injured, lay on the roof, clutching his sleeve, and lifted up the roof tiles with an eager look on her face.

In the courtyard, in front of the Buddhist shrine.

Princess Xuan knelt on the cushion, burning incense and chanting scriptures devoutly.

Just then, Xuan Changdu knocked on the door to pay his respects.

Xuan Changdu couldn't see because of the door, but A Bao noticed that Princess Xuan's movement of fiddling with the rosary suddenly stopped, and she looked at the Buddhist shrine with despair in her eyes.

But Princess Xuan quickly calmed down and stood up to open the door.

Having not seen her son for more than half a year, Princess Xuan smelled the alcohol on Xuan Changdu and immediately ordered the nanny to cook a stomach-warming soup. Then she took her son aside and talked to him in a caring manner.

The atmosphere is at its warmest.

Xuan Changdu suddenly said, "Mother, I met a girl."

Upon hearing this, Princess Xuan immediately understood.

As a mother, I am naturally happy that my son has met a girl he likes.

However, Princess Xuan remained silent for a moment.

"What kind of girl is she?"

"She is a very good girl." Xuan Changdu wanted to use the most beautiful words in the world to describe Shi Xi, "She is well-educated, kind and considerate, and very strong."

When her son mentioned the girl with joy in his eyes, Princess Xuan knew that her son was in love with her.

But sincerity alone is not enough.

Princess Xuan asked directly, "There are many aristocratic families in the imperial capital. Whose daughter is she?"

Hearing this, Xuan Changdu, who understood what his mother meant, remained silent.

He knew that the candidate for the Crown Prince Pingyue's wife must be of equal status.

This is also what he wanted to say when he came to see his mother tonight.

"Her parents are both dead, and she lives with her brother." Xuan Changdu pleaded, "But she is really a good girl. Mother, please help me convince my father..."

"Absolutely impossible."

"Even if she were a concubine in the palace, that girl wouldn't stand a chance."

Princess Xuan not only interrupted her son's words, but also directly shattered his fantasy.

"Last year, as soon as the news came back that you were not selected, within half a month, your father arranged a marriage for you."

"The other party is the youngest daughter of the Chu family, the largest shipping gang in Chuzhou. Her name is Chu Wu."

"Mother has met her. She is well-educated, kind, considerate, and strong, as you just said. Chu Wu is also a very good girl." After introducing Chu Wu, Princess Xuan continued, "Since you have returned this time, your father has already written a letter to invite Miss Chu Wu to visit his home."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Changdu's eyes turned red and he asked with grievance.

"My father sent me to the palace to participate in the Red List Election in order to win over the princess. At the beginning, I didn't have anyone in my heart. As the crown prince, I sacrificed myself for the future of the Pingyue Palace, and I accepted it calmly."

"Fortunately the princess is reasonable and is willing to help me get free."

In front of his mother, Xuan Changdu found the capital to be presumptuous: "Now, in order to consolidate the Xuan family's control over the Chuyue territory, my father continues to treat me as a chess piece in his hands and arranges for me to marry the daughter of the Chuzhou boat gang."

"I already have someone in my heart, and I want to ask my mother for help."

"Why are you still standing by and watching, mother?"

The alcohol took over my mind, and many thoughts that I usually suppressed with reason came flooding out.

"Did you, mother, give birth to me just to make me live the same life as your chess piece?"

Princess Xuan turned pale when her son revealed the cruel truth.

As soon as he said this, Xuan Changdu immediately regretted it.

"Mother, I didn't mean it. I..."

"If you really want to marry that girl, then you have to give up your position as the Crown Prince of Pingyue." Princess Xuan moved the rosary on her wrist with a compassionate look on her face. "As long as you are willing, mother will prepare a large sum of money to help you and that girl leave together and start a new life somewhere else."

Hearing this, Xuan Changdu was suddenly stunned.

At the same time, Abao, who was lying on the roof, was also shocked.

The throne of the Crown Prince can be abandoned if Princess Xuan says so.

Such decisiveness and resolution made her look at him with new eyes.

However, Xuan Changdu remained silent.
