Fu Guiyun was also a little surprised.

She didn't expect that the princess would hand over the affairs of the entire palace to her so early.

It was only after Fu Yuanshu and Lu Linchu consummated their marriage that she obtained the management rights of the palace in Beijing. She never had the chance to get involved in the affairs of Liyang City until her death.

"The palace is different from other places. My daughter-in-law is not very talented and has just entered the palace. I am afraid that I will fail to live up to my mother's trust."

She wanted to refuse, but before she could say anything, Ye Zhilan helped her sit down and said:

"Your father has been stationed in the southern border for many years. I think you have heard about my health. It has never been good. This family will be handed over to you sooner or later."

Lu Chen also said: "It is indeed hard for you to be the head of the family so early, but as the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, you have always had to face challenges head-on."

He believed that the daughter-in-law he had carefully selected would not be wrong. Even if she could not continue to bring glory to the Lu family, she could help her husband preserve the Lu family's eight hundred years of glory.

"Yun'er, just go ahead and do it boldly. If you encounter any difficulties, your mother and I will definitely help you."

Hearing this, Fu Guiyun no longer refused and gladly accepted the order: "I, your daughter-in-law, must do my best to manage this family for my father and mother."

"Good, good, good, what a good boy."

The couple was extremely satisfied. Ye Zhilan ordered someone to bring bowls and chopsticks, and personally served chicken soup to invite his uncle and sister-in-law to taste it together.

“It tastes really good.”

After taking two bites, Ye Zhilan couldn't help but boast: "I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so exquisite, Yun'er."

"Thank you for your compliment, mother. The quality of the chicken is great."

Fu Guiyun also took two sips openly.

I have to say that the soup made from the chicken worth these 22 taels of silver is really different.

Lu Chen stared at the chicken soup in front of him and felt very relieved.

The beast had endured it for several years and didn't dare to do anything, but today his daughter-in-law finally stewed him with good reason.

He felt indescribably happy and drank two bowls in a row.

Seeing that the prince and princess were so enthusiastic about a simple bowl of chicken soup, Lu Linzhi also picked up the bowl carefully.

But after taking a sip, Lu Chen smiled and said, "It is thanks to Yun'er that I am lucky enough to taste such a delicious food."

As soon as he finished speaking, his expression turned serious: "But from now on, we must not allow that evildoer to do cockfighting or running errands again."

Hearing that the chicken soup was made by his third sister-in-law using her brother's favorite food, Lu Linzhi's heart sank.

I didn't expect such a gentle and dignified woman to have such courage.

That is my brother's life.

He glanced at Fu Guiyun silently, feeling a little amused and helpless. He forced himself to remain calm and drank half a bowl of chicken soup with his uncle, then followed him out to do his errands.

Ye Zhilan forced himself to stay and chat with Fu Guiyun for a long time.

Until she was completely exhausted, she ordered the maid in charge to find her most precious box and gave her many gifts before letting her return to Chuxian Palace.

......

Lu Linchu came out of Changchun Palace in a depressed mood and went directly to Yurongju.

This is the small courtyard he bought for Yunling and his two children. Although it is far away from the main courtyard of the inner court and a bit remote, it is a piece of pure land without the nagging of his father and mother.

As soon as I sat down, I saw a woman in pink lifting the beaded curtain and coming up to me affectionately.

"So, Prince, was Tiehan really made into soup by the young lady from the Fu family?"

Her soft waist pressed lightly against him, her face as delicate as a lotus jade exuded innocence without a hint of charm.

Lu Linchu looked at her quietly for a moment. On the way back, he always felt that the incident in Chuxian Palace was caused by her. But when he saw her pure and innocent appearance, he felt that she was not so narrow-minded.

After much thought, he had to tell her the truth about what happened in his mother's palace.

"Did the prince trust her so easily?"

Yun Ling felt a little anxious after hearing this: "She is a daughter of an official family, how could she not know such a valuable item as an iron tamping machine?"

"After all, her family is full of bookworms, literary people, and a bit poor, so it's understandable that she doesn't know him."

Seeing how anxious she was, Lu Linchu wanted to ask her a few questions, but he stopped himself and just said:

"From now on, you can live peacefully in Yurongju with Qingchen and Qingyu, and don't provoke her again."

"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

Yun Ling raised her eyes and blinked her big watery eyes, looking very innocent.

"Does the prince think that I deliberately made things difficult for Miss Fu and embarrassed her, which led to Tie Han's death?"

The confident questioning made Lu Linchu feel guilty, and he quickly explained, "That's not what I meant."

After a moment's silence, he continued, "Now that she's married, I'll try to get you a legitimate status, and we can live a good life as a family of four."

"Name?"

Yun Ling began to sob in grievance: "So the prince thinks that I am just greedy for these false names."

As soon as I said one sentence, tears of sadness couldn't stop flowing.

"Although I am not as talented as my sister, I only hope to win the prince's true love and fall in love with him regardless of worldly prejudices. I didn't expect that the prince would regard me as someone with ulterior motives. In this case, I will leave now."

After saying this, he pretended to leave immediately.

"I didn't mean that."

Hearing her mention Du Jiuniang, Lu Linchu felt very sad and hurriedly pulled her back.

"I know what you're thinking."

Thinking of the woman from the Fu family, Lu Linchu frowned slightly: "But the woman from the Fu family dared to kill even my iron tamper, and left no trace. I'm afraid she will do something bad to you one day, so you'd better stay away from her."

"So the prince is worried about me."

Yun Ling then happily leaned back into his arms: "Since the prince has spoken, from now on, I will only greet her and serve her tea, and will not interfere with her."

"Ah."

Lu Linchu was very satisfied with what he heard.

But my own tamper is dead, and I have to find out who is behind this.

"Except for me, no one in the palace would dare to go to the Chuxian Palace and make trouble, even if they have the guts to do so. Who on earth dares to do this?"

Lu Linchu closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

"Qingchen was very ill yesterday, and I stayed by his side to take care of him. I had no time to take care of other things, so I didn't notice what happened outside the courtyard."

Yun Ling pondered for a moment, and suddenly looked behind the beaded curtain: "Ah, Qingyu, Prince, I heard that Qingyu sneaked away to Chuxian Palace last night. Could it be that this child is making trouble again?"

Lu Linchu looked over and saw a person hiding behind the bead curtain.

"Yu'er, come out."

He was so angry that he pulled the little girl out and said, "Do you know how much trouble you have caused? Not to mention the iron pounder that killed my father, if that person from the Fu family knew that you humiliated her like this, with her petty mind, she would report it to your grandparents. Would they let you off easily?"

Lu Qingyu was frightened when she was born, and she could neither cry nor speak since she was little. She just pouted her lips and looked at Yunling with her round little eyes.

Seeing her expression, Lu Linchu became even angrier and was about to hit her.

"Qing Yu is still a child. How can the prince bother with a child who is less than four years old?"

Yun Ling was so anxious that she quickly stopped him.

"The eldest lady of the Fu family is a lady from a noble family after all. Now that she is the Crown Prince's consort, she is the legitimate mother of Qingchen and Qingyu. Could it be that she has such a low tolerance? If so, let her punish me. It is my fault for not taking good care of Qingyu."

"To put it lightly."

Lu Linchu said in a serious tone: "Now that mother has handed over the entire palace to her, even the affairs of Liyang City have to be in her charge. If she wants to punish you, how can I protect you?"

"The princess even let her interfere in the affairs of the fiefdom?"

Yun Ling's heart began to fluctuate: "It's only her first day in the family."

"Mother was just confused for a moment."

Lu Linchu pulled the little girl and was about to go out: "What happened last night was caused by someone in my courtyard. I will take Qingyu to apologize to her so that she won't be jealous."

"Don't let her hurt the child."

Yun Ling seemed extremely worried.

"She dared."

Lu Linchu's eyes darkened, and Yun Ling finally felt relieved. She asked tentatively, "I have been researching a new song. Will the prince come over tonight?"

Lu Linchu looked back and smiled: "I have no interest in her at all. At most, I treat her with respect for the sake of my father and mother. This is my home, and I will naturally come back early."

"Then I and the young master will wait for the prince to come back."

Yun Ling watched the prince go away with a kind smile on her face. Only when the two figures, one big and one small, disappeared from her sight did the smile on her face gradually stiffen and solidify.
