The prince followed again.

Xiao Yuehan was not afraid of him, and she thought he wouldn't dare to do anything. But she still quickened her pace and bumped into someone head on.

Oh! She was furious. What happened today? How come she met one person after another in this usually quiet Imperial Garden?

Just as he was about to dodge the person he bumped into, he was grabbed by the arm by the other person: "Why are you so flustered?"

Just by listening to the voice, she knew it was him, so she let out a long sigh and said, "How come I met you here?"

"I went to Concubine Hua's palace and heard that you were in the Imperial Garden, so I came to find you. Is there something wrong?" Zi Sangyu looked at her panicked face with worried eyes.

"What's the matter? Nothing, I'm planning to go back."

At this time, Zi Sangyu saw the prince behind him, so he clasped his fists and said, "I greet the prince."

He knew why Xiao Yuehan was panicking.

The prince laughed and said, "I passed by the Imperial Garden today and happened to see Princess Nan reading a book. I also stopped to admire the Imperial Garden.

As a result, I really found that this imperial garden can make people's mind pure and their mood peaceful.

I guess the Southern Prince often plays here with his wife. I am very envious. Haha."

Zi Sangyu was neither humble nor arrogant, her words were gentle but her heart was cold: "Princess, you are helping Concubine Hua to detoxify and treat her illness in the palace. If I have offended you, I hope the Crown Prince will forgive me."

"No, no, it was this prince who offended the princess and disturbed her peaceful time.

This prince should ask the princess to forgive him."

Then he turned to Zi Sangyu and said, "Sixteenth brother has been following the Southern King for a short time, but he has made great progress.

It seems that the King of the South is really a good general who can both lead troops and charge into battle.

Seeing Sixteenth's progress, the emperor was very happy, but he couldn't help but sigh that there are too few princes as versatile as you in our royal family.

Now that Sixteen has caught up, my father is very pleased. This prince really wants to thank the King of the South."

As he said this, he looked at Xiao Yuehan meaningfully.

He continued, “When the Southern Prince is away, he is a loyal and brave general that the court cannot do without.

The Princess of Nan is also an expert in detoxification, even the imperial physician cannot compare to her.

You and your wife are really in harmony, like a perfect couple.

How come the elder sister is so smart and capable, while the younger sister is stupid, dull, incompetent and immoral?

How did Prime Minister Xiao educate his two daughters? Could it be that the legitimate daughter was treated better than the illegitimate daughter?

No wonder Xiao Wenyu was demoted to Yazhou. It seems that the accident was just an accident."

When the prince mentioned sixteen, his eyes were full of helplessness.

When talking about Xiao's sister, the corners of his mouth curled up and there was a light of approval in his eyes.

When talking about Xiao's sister's own wife, the regret in his tone was very obvious.

Zi Sangyu took in the prince's entire expression.

He said disdainfully: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your compliment to me. I am ashamed to accept it.

The Emperor had a keen eye for talent and handed Sixteen over to me, a humble minister. As the saying goes, a master can only lead you to the door, but the practice is up to you individually. Sixteenth brother is a very good example.

He was diligent and studious, not afraid of hardship, and extremely motivated. He put aside his status in the barracks and integrated himself with the soldiers.

Among the current princes, I have never seen a prince like him. The emperor will certainly feel gratified to have a prince like him."

Zi Sangyu wanted to suppress the prince's arrogance. He was just lucky because he was born to the queen and was the eldest son.

Apart from this, what other abilities does he have to become the crown prince?

He should be made to know that in the eyes of his son Sang Yu, he is nothing.

As expected, the prince was very dissatisfied with Zi Sangyu's obvious contempt for him.

But he really didn't dare to confront him.

The gap in strength between the two was too great. He was no match for Zi Sangyu in every aspect.

He knew his own limitations, so he suppressed his anger and said, "Haha, the King of Nan really knows everything about the court and the palace.

Even the princes are under the control of the Southern King. Is this knowing yourself and your enemy?

No wonder my father thinks highly of and trusts the King of the South, because the King of the South is the one who holds the key to our dynasty."

Faced with his insinuations, Zi Sangyu didn't take them to heart at all.

The prince's words expressed what he and the emperor usually thought of Zi Sangyu.

Doesn't Zi Sangyu know? This is an open secret.

He fixed his eagle eyes on the prince's eyes: "It is not under my control, but this is the fact, and everyone in the world knows it."

Having said that, he took Xiao Yuehan's hand and walked away.

The prince watched the two men's backs from behind, and his laughter completely stopped. The fierce light in his eyes was directed at the two people who were walking away.

Humph! Let's see how long you can be so arrogant. It seems that the struggle in the palace should not be limited to the fifth and the sixteenth. The Southern King is the most difficult person to deal with.

He also understood his mother's intentions a little. He decided to get rid of the fifth brother and Concubine Hua first, and then deal with the two in front of him, so as not to lose his vitality.

What he has to do now is to wait for the day when he ascends the throne.

……

Zi Sangyu and Xiao Yuehan walked hand in hand around the imperial garden and came to the fish pond.

As long as he looked at his wife, he would be in a good mood. The god he just met could not affect his mood at all.

The two men acted as if they had not met the prince just now. They played beside the fish pond and used bait to lure the fish that were swimming happily.

Xiao Yuehan looked at their reflections in the pool, touched his cheek with her head, and said, "Look, what do you look like?"

Zi Sangyu looked at her reflection carefully. What did it look like? She blurted out, "It looks like this swimming fish."

Xiao Yuehan shook his head and smiled: "Not like that."

Zi Sangyu lowered his head and looked carefully again. Hi! He got it: "It looks like a fighting rooster."

Xiao Yuehan scratched his head and laughed happily: "What fish, rooster, aren't you still in the water?

Did your shadow turn into a fish and a rooster?"

Zi Sangyu felt that he had been tricked by her, so he stretched out his long arms, scooped up the water from the fish pond, and poured it on her body.

Xiao Yuehan wanted to imitate him, but her arms were a little too short and could not reach the water in the pool.

So she lifted up her long skirt and started running, laughing as she ran: "Come on, chase me."

The sound of silver bell-like laughter floated in the imperial garden.

Zi Sangyu looked at Xiao Yuehan, who was running in front of her, as graceful as a fairy, her eyes full of tenderness and affection.

He pretended to be chasing her as hard as he could, but he could never catch up.

The two continued their game.

Across the fish pond, behind the shade of the trees, Master Ning and Liang Wanshu watched them quietly.

Young Master Ning said leisurely: "Our prince is really different now. He used to be such a serious person, but now he has become a man who dotes on his wife."

"Yes, how long have you not seen him so happy now?" Liang Wanshu was also moved by the scene before him.
