"You know, she was the one who started the trouble. I took away her dowry that my mother gave me, and she repeatedly said that I was taking away the Xiao family's property.

She also brought up the matter of Princess Huayang's jewelry.

At this royal spring competition, she was acting so recklessly. Was it because the prime minister failed to teach her well, or was it because her own mother, Mrs. Su, failed to educate her child well?

Besides, don’t talk about our family, our family. You don’t know what’s going on between me and the Xiao family, so don’t take sides here.”

The prince, who was standing aside, also stopped laughing.

He secretly observed the two sisters and the relationship between Xiao Yuehan and the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He looked at Xiao Yuewan again, and remembered that he was going to choose a concubine, and what if he chose this person to be the Crown Princess.

Will it help to restrain that boy Sang Yu? Hehe! It's hard to say.

His abacus was jingling loudly.

At this time, a eunuch came to Zi Sangyu, waving a whisk in his hand.

Seeing the Crown Prince here, he bowed to him and said to Zi Sangyu, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites you."

The Queen Mother smiled as she looked at the two people approaching.

He whispered, "Yu'er, I have found the seals of the six departments you requested.

On a chosen day, your little princess and Shangguan will go to the palace medicine store to see if there is the medicine you are looking for."

Xiao Yuehan took the document from Zi Sangyu's hand and smiled at him.

Zi Sangyu bowed with both hands to thank the Imperial Grandmother: "Thank you, Imperial Grandmother, for still remembering your grandson."

The Queen Mother held their hands and said with a smile: "This is a top priority, how could I forget it?"

As she spoke, she moved closer to the two of them and whispered, "I'm still waiting for Yu'er to recover and give me a great-grandson." Then she laughed.

Zi Sangyu raised his eyebrows slightly, but Xiao Yuehan's fair and pretty face blushed with shame.

"The Emperor and Empress have arrived!" The eunuch's shout made the noisy royal garden suddenly quiet. Everyone stopped talking and laughing, and came forward to pay their respects and bow.

The Emperor and Empress took their seats and motioned for everyone to take their seats with a smile.

The emperor and his ministers toasted each other, but there was less solemnity than in the court and more casualness.

The queen saw Xiao Yuehan beside Zi Sangyu and said amiably, “Princess Zhan, that Huayang man is young and ignorant.

Such a incident happened when the prince was suppressing the rebellion, causing him to rush back far away, which really delayed important matters.

The Emperor and I have already taught her a lesson, so I hope you won't take it personally."

The queen's seemingly insignificant words actually contain profound meaning.

That is, Zi Sangyu returned home uninvited because of family matters, thus delaying national affairs.

She was speaking on behalf of the emperor. The emperor could not blame Zi Sangyu for the trouble that had occurred because of his daughter.

So the queen spoke soft words, but every word was sharp.

Xiao Yuehan no longer wanted to talk about this topic.

Everyone who sees her talks about her, but the person in front of her is not an ordinary person, so she dare not neglect him.

So he bowed and said, "Thank you Queen for your understanding. This matter has passed."

Zi Sangyu felt dissatisfied when he heard what the queen said.

This matter went back and forth for several months.

However, every time he went to court, the emperor would mention this matter intentionally or unintentionally.

Today it was actually said through the Queen’s mouth.

As for the emperor, because it concerned Princess Huayang, he had to abandon the task of suppressing the rebellion and return to Chang'an City to kill someone to save his wife.

He didn't take himself and Princess Huayang seriously at all. This was a sign of serious dissatisfaction. She was his own daughter, so noble.

But the emperor also knew that this was the time to employ people and he could not offend the person in front of him.

It was only because the court did not have any good generals. The prince had been good at music, chess, calligraphy, painting, horse riding, archery and martial arts since he was young. He was good at everything. There was no other way.

Therefore, the only option for the emperor now is to be patient.

Zi Sangyu's face was not looking good. He bowed with both hands and said, "The matter of suppressing the rebellion is a matter of national importance. It is not easy for the Queen to mention it easily at this spring competition.

Since I am fighting for my country outside, my family should naturally be protected by the court.

If the imperial court cannot even do such a small thing, how can it defeat the enemy?

This is not just my family affair. The families of all our soldiers should be protected by the court.

Please do not continue to harm our soldiers and their families with unnecessary charges.

Otherwise, how can I lead the troops? How can the soldiers serve the country? "

Zi Sangyu's words made the queen feel a little embarrassed.

She knew that the emperor's nephew was truly arrogant and was truly second only to the emperor.

It seemed as if he had never taken her, the queen, seriously.

Concubine Hua, who was standing by, covered her red lips with a silk handkerchief and smiled quietly.

You are usually so arrogant, relying on the Crown Prince and Princess Huayang as your children, and look down on everyone in the harem.

The emperor picked the concubine by name and served her contraceptive soup the next day.

Even though she was a noble concubine, she only gave birth to the fifth prince. It was impossible for her to have more children for the emperor.

This was the first time she had seen someone being ridiculed by the prince like today, and it was probably the first time for everyone present to see it as well.

The queen said nothing more, but she naturally took note of Zi Sangyu in her heart.

The emperor glared at the queen, but he knew that he would not scold her in such an occasion.

In public, he had to save face for the queen. They knew who their common enemy was.

He looked at the harmonious couple in front of him and thought to himself: This arranged marriage really went against my wishes.

I didn't expect that this guy would not only keep her, but also give her more power.

I heard that it was this princess who cured him of the poison several times he had an attack.

What's going on with the prime minister's daughter? At this moment, he looked around with his eyes that he thought were full of wisdom, wanting to find the prime minister and ask him for an explanation.

The emperor is the emperor after all, and he did not comment on Zi Sangyu's words.

Instead, he changed the subject and said to Xiao Yuehan, "I heard that the princess has another unique skill, which is the art of detoxification.

The prince has been poisoned several times recently, and it was you who cured him. This is a blessing for our dynasty."

As he said this, he waved to the prime minister in the distance and said to him with dissatisfaction:

"Prime Minister Xiao, your daughter has such great medical skills, but you hide her in your house instead of working for the court. What is your intention?"

After saying that, he started laughing.

The prime minister, who was already sweating coldly, instantly realized that the emperor was just playing a little joke on him.

He didn't know how to answer the emperor. He didn't know whether this girl knew medicine or not, but he still had to answer this question to the emperor.

So he said, "My daughter has loved looking through picture albums since she was young, and she is very interested in the books in the mansion. There are also many medical books in the study. I guess..."

Just as he was having trouble organizing his words, the emperor interrupted him and said, "I will not delve into the details of learning medicine.

What I mean is, I didn't expect that my marriage was actually the right one.

In a big way, it is a blessing for our country. In a small way, your Xiao family is a hero. I have to make a note of your Xiao family."
