A beautiful daughter came to the Xiangfu

The emperor still sat sideways.

"We should have sent someone there in June, but everyone in the court knows the news coming from there."

said the emperor.

The salt and iron affairs in Jiangnan have always been managed by people under the Xiao family, but some things happened this year and Jiangnan was affected, so those who go to Jiangnan this year have to help settle the matter. Some people didn't want to go before because it involved the Xiao family, the people the prince nominated himself, and also because it involved the Xiao family, the queen's family.

The reason why the emperor sent Prince Qi in the beginning was because Prince Qi was neutral and a member of the royal family. He couldn't just let the Xiao family's own people go. Prince Shun was a relative of the Xiao family, and Prince Qi couldn't go. Then there was only Prince Xiao'an, who was usually impartial and had no faction, and was the emperor's nephew.

The emperor may need someone to go through the motions.

The emperor looked at the obedient little Prince An and said, "How about this. If I ask you to investigate the case, the Queen Mother will be worried and the Xiao family will also be suspicious. It's still the same name as in previous years. This year you bring your family with you. Otherwise, I will separate you and your wife on your wedding day and the Queen Mother will scold me again. Pack up and go to Jiangnan."

When the decree was issued, those who were not in the know thought it was a good job. After all, it was not the first time for him to bring his family to the south of the Yangtze River. However, Prince An thought in his heart: You really can't wait.

After returning to Prince An's Mansion, the imperial edict arrived immediately. Lin Qingyang didn't know whether she should be happy or not about being able to go to Jiangnan.

Princess Qi had just said that this was not an easy job, but when she went to the temple today, she learned that Jiangnan had the secret she needed.

But Lin Qingyang didn't know why. A few days ago, Princess Qi said that the mission to Jiangnan was handed over to Prince Qi. Why was the person changed today? What happened in between?

After the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict left, Lin Qingyang asked Prince Xiao An, who had returned from the palace, what had happened?

"Prince Qi is injured and will probably have to lie down for ten days or half a month, so his job has been replaced." Prince An said concisely.

Lin Qingyang was puzzled, "What happened to Prince Qi? He is in good health and good at martial arts, so how did he get injured?"

Logically speaking, Prince Qi's injury happened just today and outsiders were unaware of it, not to mention that the emperor didn't say anything either.

Prince An: "Isn't it because the Xiao family invited Prince Qi and his son to dinner a few days ago and invited two girls?"

Lin Qingyang: "Ah? Isn't it all right now? It's been a few days."

"Hey, the Xiao family knew that they were causing trouble for others, so they thought of treating them to a meal to apologize, but Princess Qi found out and brought people to beat them up. But they couldn't tell anyone."

Little Prince An had an expression of watching the fun, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

Lin Qingyang was puzzled: "How did you know?"

Prince An's expression changed. "Well, of course someone told me about this." He quickly changed the subject. "Well, we need to prepare well before going to Jiangnan. We need to go to the pharmacy in a few days to get some medicine for mosquito bites. It's also a big project."

Lin Qingyang wanted to ask him something, but he changed the subject.

At this time, in the courtyard of the Xiao family, Uncle Xiao and Prince Xiao Shun were drinking tea and playing chess.

"Father, I've heard that the affairs of Jiangnan have been handed over to Prince Xiao'an to handle." Prince Xiaoshun looked at the chessboard and did not look up while speaking.

"Of course I heard about it. I originally thought that it was Prince Qi who went. He is a man with no opinions and would not take things too seriously. Who knew that a meal would cause so many problems." Uncle Xiao said with a sigh.

"Prince Qi and his son are not lustful people. How did you think of using a drinking girl? Princess Qi has a tigress-like temperament. Now you have not gained any benefits and have offended Princess Qi." Little Prince Shun accused his father-in-law.

"How come the rumor is that I hired the hostesses? Those two girls came in on their own. I thought they knew Prince Qi, but it turned out that I hired them. How could I have anything to do with him being beaten by the princess? And Prince Qi also asked me out the second time, but it turned out like this. I can't explain it even if I have a mouth full of words!"

Uncle Xiao's furious look didn't seem like an act.

Prince Xiao Shun dropped a piece, frowned, and said, "That girl wasn't found by your men, either?"

Uncle Xiao spread his hands and said, "I also thought it was the servants' negligence, and I questioned them for a long time, but none of them knew anything."

Prince Shun thought for a moment and said, "Father, now that things have come to this, we can talk to Prince Qi later. Prince An is a casual person. You should tell those people to be careful and act accordingly. The emperor has not favored his nephew for many years, so he won't care too much now. He is just pretending to do something. If Prince An is serious, we will deal with him then. The emperor is far away, hum!"

After Xiao Shunwang finished speaking, his eyes became stern, and he reached out to the chess box next to him and grabbed a chess piece.

King Qi's Mansion

Prince Qi was lying on the bed with one of his legs fixed in a splint.

The emperor was sitting opposite him, and looking at his expression, he didn't know whether to be angry or amused.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed Your Majesty." Although Prince Qi had difficulty walking, his upper body was still in a saluting posture.

The emperor quickly pushed him and told him to lie down.

Princess Qi stood aside without saying a word, with her head lowered.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward.

"I am here today to visit the patient. You should just behave as you usually do and don't be too restrained because of me," the emperor said.

"Yes." Princess Qi was very well behaved at this time.

"Where is Jinghan? I heard that he was injured. Is it serious?" asked the emperor.

"In reply to the emperor, Jinghan is young and playful, climbing around and being dishonest. He was punished for breaking the rules recently!" Princess Qi's voice was gentle and pleasant when answering the question.

"Oh, I thought he was the same as his father. I'm glad he's okay." The emperor said and laughed.

"It's okay, it's okay. I fell accidentally." King Qi said as he was about to move, then he said "Ouch", probably because he touched the wound.

Princess Qi hurried over to take a look, her eyes full of concern.

"Don't move!" Princess Qi blamed and cared for the emperor at the same time. The emperor started laughing again.

"Look at you, an old couple, and you made such a joke. How can it be disgraced if others heard it? People on the street will say that Prince Qi is henpecked and that Prince Qi's wife is a jealous woman, which will damage their reputation. Is that okay?" The emperor had to act as a peacemaker when he came to visit the patient.

"He doesn't go to see the king's uncle, and he doesn't meet beautiful women. Why should I care about him? He even leads the child astray. Of course I am angry." Princess Qi still looked angry.

"Okay, you're acting unreasonably even when the emperor is here, right?" Prince Qi acted angry.

"I asked Uncle Xiao, and he said it's not like that at all..." said the emperor.

"You are the uncle of the emperor. You are a grown man, but you dare not do anything. You are not as good as a woman like me. I am a jealous woman, so what? If you do this again next time, I will beat him too."

Prince Qi touched his leg and cried out, "Ouch!"

"Are you moving around again?" Princess Qi immediately asked with concern.

The emperor had no choice but to return to the palace and stay away from trouble.

After the emperor left Prince Qi's mansion, Prince Qi took off the splint on his leg and threw it aside, then stretched his leg comfortably.
