The eldest princess is obsessed with rebellion, but there are six male protagonists

The twin blunder did not happen again. This time, Concubine Hui gave birth to only one little princess.

After the disappointed emperor came out and hugged the little princess again, that little bit of disappointment disappeared in an instant, and his heart and eyes were filled with the little princess. He even laughed out loud when he made the little princess cry.

The emperor's love for the little princess continued for several days, and even after a few days, it became more and more intense. He had no place to show off, so he held another morning court after a long absence.

The emperor held a morning court session for only one thing, to show off in front of all the ministers:

"I have a princess, hahahahahahaha!"

The New Year is almost here, and all the ministers want to "seal" themselves quickly and go home to celebrate the New Year. Even the censor, who is usually the best at finding fault, doesn't want to get involved.

Therefore, the ministers adopted the attitude of "less trouble is worse than more trouble" and except for praising the emperor for his wisdom, they did not say anything that would make the emperor unhappy. They coaxed the emperor to have the happiest morning court since he ascended the throne.

If every morning court is held like this, then it is not impossible for me to hold one every day, the emperor thought happily.

As the third-rank commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Xie Xuan was also present at the morning court. Taking advantage of the emperor's good mood, he asked the emperor for an assignment to go to Mingzhou to recruit soldiers and form a navy.

The port for sending the fleet out to sea has been decided. It will depart from Mingzhou Port next autumn. The ships are already being built, but there is a shortage of soldiers.

The job that Xie Xuan requested and the soldiers he recruited were partly for preparation for Shen He's voyage and partly for defense preparation.

The eldest princess wanted to send people out to sea in order to open up the maritime trade route.

If the sea trade route is really opened up, without the protection of the army, the people who come will turn from caravans into pirates, inviting a wolf into the house, and the princess will not be able to achieve what she wants.

This matter is urgent and must be dealt with immediately.

Of course, from the emperor's perspective, the fleet's voyage was for the purpose of collecting tributes from all nations, and it was a great opportunity to prove that he was an eternally wise ruler.

Xie Xuan was a member of his mother's family, and he did a good job in investigating and punishing Qiao Gui's followers. The emperor had nothing to worry about, and he immediately appointed Xie Xuan as the governor of the navy, in charge of the navy.

After returning home, Xie Xuan went to find Su Fengyi and told her the emperor's order.

Su Fengyi was surprised when she heard this:

"You asked for it yourself? I thought you didn't want to go, so why are you asking to go now?"

It had only been a few days since the eldest princess said she loved her, and Xie Xuan was in love with her and didn't want to be apart for a moment. If possible, he didn't want to leave, but he had to go.

In the hands of the eldest princess, the Wang family and the Pei family check and balance each other, but there is no one to check and balance the Shen family.

The Shen family is growing in power, which is a good thing for Your Highness, but it may not always be a good thing.

If the only power in His Highness's hands is the Shen family, and if no one can check and balance the Shen family, it will become a hidden danger in the long run. Xie Xuan must make arrangements in advance for the eldest princess and be the knife in her hand to restrain the Shen family.

Xie Xuan walked over and hugged Su Fengyi:

"It was I who wanted to leave. I transferred Zhu Qi back to the Imperial Guard and asked him to take over temporarily. When I am not in the capital, Zhu Qi can be used."

In the past, every time the princess drove Xie Xuan away, it was so that he could reach a higher position.

Although Xie Xuan knew it, he was always worried about gains and losses and could not find peace of mind.

But this time, Xie Xuan took the initiative to leave, so that the eldest princess could go to a higher place, and so that no one in the world could restrain her anymore.

Xie Xuan hugged the eldest princess. Even though he was about to go on a long journey, he felt more at ease than ever before and no longer had any hesitation.

Su Fengyi hugged him back:

"Xie Xuan, I am very happy and relieved that you can figure it out on your own and are willing to go to that higher place and see the vastness of the world."

……

On the day of the Little New Year, before the "sealing", the last imperial edict before the New Year was sent to Pingliang and Qingyang respectively.

The Wang family had tried to trick the King of Pingliang several times, asking for a higher price each time. After extorting a huge sum of money from him, they finally helped him return to Beijing.

When the emperor went to see Concubine Hui, Concubine Hui mentioned that she heard that her fourth uncle had married a new princess, but she didn't know what the new princess looked like because she had never seen her.

The emperor didn't take it seriously and said casually:

"You want to see him? Then I'll come and greet you when you're out of confinement."

Concubine Hui smiled shyly and said:

"No, no, I'm just curious. Why would you make someone go all the way just to let me see you? I'm being too overbearing."

Concubine Hui was always steady, and it was rare for her to show such a shy and coquettish demeanor. The emperor felt it was fresh and interesting, and touched her nose:

"What's the big deal? I just like your domineering attitude. I will order her to come now. It is a blessing for Princess Pingliang to be able to pay her respects to you."

Xue Yu seized the opportunity and added:

"Yes, Concubine Hui, there are many people who want this blessing and beg the emperor and concubine to grant them grace.

Prince Qingyang also submitted a memorial before, and he also wanted to bring his newly married Princess Qingyang to pay respects to the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine."

The emperor looked at Concubine Hui with pride:

"You see? I'll tell you. Okay, Xue Yu, let them come to pay their respects to Concubine Hui after the New Year, and make Concubine Hui happy."

When the officials from the capital who were delivering the imperial edict were leaving from the west gate for Pingliang and Qingyang, two fast horses galloped into the west gate.

Shen Quan was in front and Shen He was behind. The two of them hurried and finally returned to the capital on the day of the Little New Year, just in time to celebrate it.

The Little New Year is a big festival, and everyone goes home to celebrate the New Year, dusting off their homes, putting on new clothes, bathing and changing clothes. Even Pei Yu and Mr. Bai came to say goodbye to Su Fengyi a few days ago and went back to Pei's house.

Shen Quan had also given Xiao Guo a holiday, letting him return to Xuanfu to celebrate the New Year, and then took Shen He back to the capital.

When they returned to the Wangyue Pavilion in the Princess's residence, Shen He saw his brother put down his whip, changed into his dusty clothes and was about to go find the Princess, so he stopped him:

"Brother, do you want to ask someone to pass the message first?"

In a fit of rage that day, Shen He left the Princess's Mansion and ran to Pingcheng to find Shen Quan, but when he really arrived in Pingcheng, he couldn't say anything.

Shen Quan hadn't seen Shen He for a long time. He was very happy to see his younger brother and immediately took him to eat delicious snacks in Pingcheng.

Shen He's mouth was filled with snacks and he couldn't say anything. He thought to himself, my brother is happy now, so I shouldn't make him unhappy and I will talk to him tomorrow.

Tomorrow and tomorrow, how many tomorrows there are, day after day goes by, until today, Shen He still asked nothing and said nothing.

But now Shen Quan is going to see the eldest princess, and Shen He is worried that Xie Xuan is there too, and his brother will be sad if he sees him. After all, the eldest princess said that his brother thought it was someone else.

Shen Quan looked at Shen He strangely:

"Wasn't it enough to just go to the door and let her know before? Or is it a new rule set by the princess that you have to let her know first and wait for her to summon you before you can go see her?"

Shen He looked around:

"That's not there."

Shen Quan snorted:

"Where did you learn this habit?"

Shen Quan went to the study first, but there was no one there. He then went to the bedroom to look for Su Fengyi. Shen He followed behind like a little tail, extremely anxious, but with no other choice but to follow.

The two arrived at the bedroom, and Shuang Ye was serving in the outer room. When Shen Quan asked her whether the princess was ready to go to the bathroom now, Shuang Ye assessed that although Commander Xie was also inside, the princess had already bathed and was wearing clothes, so there was no big problem.

They were all the eldest princess's people, so it was not appropriate to favor one over another, so Shuang Ye let them in.

When Shen Quan opened the door, he saw Su Fengyi sitting on a chair after bathing, reading a book while drying her hair. Commander Xie moved a stool and sat next to the princess, wiping her hair with a dry towel.
