Every time I wear it quickly, there are always big guys giving it away.

The trip to Yi County was uneventful, and both the prince and the imperial teacher were commended by the emperor.

The emperor held a palace banquet in Huaqing Palace. The protagonist was naturally the prince who was in the spotlight, and the imperial teacher also received a lot of attention.

At the same time, Princess Jiayue, who had been recuperating in Huguo Temple for a long time, had just recovered from her illness, and the Queen sent someone to bring Princess Jiayue back to the palace.

When Chen Jia arrived, the banquet had already begun.

Ruoyue's words were still as venomous as ever: "The Feng Shui of Huguo Temple is so good? You've been staying in the temple, and your face has become more rosy..."

They don't look like people who are about to die!

Zhenyue came out to smooth things over, "Ruoyue, stop speaking without restraint. It's a blessing that Jiayue is in good health, and everyone is very happy."

Ruoyue turned her face away and said, "I didn't say anything. I just felt it was weird."

The simple meals at Huguo Temple actually kept her in good health!

Ruoyue actually wanted to make fun of her for not having the fate to enjoy this great grace from the Emperor!

Chen Jia smiled at her faintly, "I can eat delicacies from land and sea, as well as porridge and side dishes. I am lucky!"

The sour taste in Ruoyue's mouth was about to burst out of the sky. She was always prone to making provocative remarks, but she was just picking on the weak.

Chen Jia doesn't spoil her!

"You are such an ungrateful person!" Ruoyue flicked her sleeves and sat away!

The sudden cancellation of the general election originally scheduled for March this year has caused many officials who have girls of marriageable age to worry.

This is wrong!

The general election is held every three years, and everyone from high-ranking officials to ordinary people has the opportunity to be elected.

This was the only chance for many families to get ahead in life, but now they are watching it go to waste and they don’t even know whether a general election will be held this year.

Your Majesty, please give me a definite answer!

We can’t afford to delay this child!

Without any need for the ministers to guess in their hearts, the emperor drank a few cups, put down his glass, cleared his throat, and said, "My dear ministers, the credit for the Yi County incident belongs to the crown prince and the imperial teacher."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is indeed a rare talent, and he is very thoughtful in his work!"

"The Crown Prince and the Imperial Master working together is truly incredible!"

"The flood in Yi County has lasted for a long time. It was resolved this time. Your Highness the Crown Prince is really amazing!"

"I hope there won't be any more disasters in Yi County..."

The imperial court allocates a lot of money for disaster relief every time, and the national treasury can’t afford it!

Although many court officials were implicated in the case of embezzling disaster relief funds and their entire families were executed, the emperor's anger could not be extinguished.

These ministers really can’t stand it anymore!

In short, there are not enough officials in the court, and everyone is busy and miserable.

The emperor waved his hand and got back to the point, "So, this year's talent show is cancelled. But - this year we will hold a special examination to recruit talents..."

The ministers wanted to say something, but they were interrupted by Enke, who was recruiting virtuous people.

The position of Crown Princess is only a small one, but the fact that this position has been vacant for a year has made many people jealous. It turns out that the Emperor is waiting here!

It's not that she doesn't want the position of Crown Princess, it's mainly because most of the ministers who have suitable candidates have been dragged out by the Emperor and their entire clans have been punished.

Among the remaining ministers, not many have daughters, and even fewer have suitable candidates!

I really am powerless!

But Enke is different, he has someone at home!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful!"

It should be said that the ministers are well versed in the art of flattery!

The emperor was very pleased and all his ministers were happy. It was truly a happy scene.

Jiayue was called away by the prince's men halfway through her meal, and when Zhenyue saw the imperial teacher leave the table, she quietly followed him.

Ruoyue rolled her eyes and followed Zhenyue.

Seeing Zhenyue quickly catching up with the Imperial Master, the Imperial Master who had fascinated her did not refuse and tacitly agreed to Zhenyue's following.

Ruoyue was so angry that she gnashed her teeth, and doubts filled her heart: Strange, when did Zhenyue become so close to the Imperial Master?

Although the two were just walking side by side and did not do anything close, Ruoyue could see that the relationship between them was unusual.

Ruoyue followed them, but suddenly, when they turned a corner, the two people disappeared and no one knew which way they took.

She was so angry that she stamped her feet hard, but to no avail.

Zhenyue, who was hiding behind the rockery, covered her mouth and stared at Ruoyue's receding back with fear.

If the Imperial Master hadn't reminded her, she really wouldn't have noticed that Ruoyue had followed her quietly.

If she were to get involved, who knows how much trouble would arise!

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have followed you, what if..." Zhenyue felt guilty and looked at the other person worriedly.

"No problem," the Imperial Master looked ahead and answered slowly, "I am upright and honest, and I am not afraid of rumors."

Zhenyue smiled bitterly, "Your Excellency is doing the right thing, Zhenyue admires you. But Zhenyue is not like that. Zhenyue treats you—"

The Imperial Master raised his hand and touched her head, and said softly: "I know."

Zhenyue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she twisted her fingers together excitedly, "Sir, then let's--"

The Imperial Master smiled gently, "You are still too young and have never seen a better man, so you can't forget me."

He turned his head back and looked at the huge palace. "When the princess sees a more brilliant and beautiful scenery, she will understand that I am a very boring person and not worthy of the princess's love."

"In Zhenyue's heart, you are like the bright moon hanging high in the sky, the lonely cold plum blossom, and the clear mountain stream... Zhenyue has admired you for a long time, as if it were a rock."

Zhenyue stepped forward, hesitated for a moment, pulled the imperial teacher's sleeve and whispered her thoughts to him.

The Imperial Master's eyes moved slightly, and he sighed, "Let me think about it..."

Zhenyue was delighted, "Sir, you are so kind!"

The Imperial Master said nothing.

Jiayue followed the visitor to the top floor of the Observatory, where the prince sat leaning against the railing, his wide sleeves rustling in the wind.

"Come here," the prince waved, and Chen Jia moved over in small steps, "Brother Prince——"

The prince took her to sit down, looked at the brightly lit palace below, and asked softly: "Are you afraid?"

Chen Jia felt the scorching heat of his palm and shook her head, "Don't be afraid, the prince is here!"

He asked: "What if one day I am not here?"

Chen Jia became suspicious, "Why isn't the prince here?"

He looked straight at her, not allowing her to avoid his gaze, "What about you?"

"As for me," Chen Jia frowned, not being able to guess what he meant. She prepared herself for it in her mind before speaking, "I should be there too..."

The prince chuckled with unspeakable meaning, "Jiayue, look how unfair it is. I have been here all the time, and you are still hesitating. Tell me, what is really in your heart!"

The prince's words were not ambiguous.

At least Chen Jia knew that she couldn't escape tonight and couldn't pretend to be stupid and get away with it like she did before.

The prince asked her to come over tonight, probably because he wanted an accurate answer!
