A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Emperor Xuande's question made Princess Yongjia break out in a cold sweat.

When the Emperor selects generals, he naturally looks at their abilities and achievements.

"Forgive me, my dear brother. I said the wrong thing. What I meant was, how could he lead an army when he came from such an unknown background?"

"And just based on the fact that he committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, he should be punished."

Emperor Xuande snorted, "Deceiving the emperor? It was you who swore to tell me Yunzhou's life story, and I even conferred great honors on the Li family because of it. If you want to talk about deceiving the emperor, then weren't you the one who deceived the emperor first?"

Without waiting for Princess Yongjia to speak, Emperor Xuande continued, "Li Yunzhou did not deceive you. He came to the palace last night and told me the truth. He also took the initiative to ask me to take back the title of Prince of Ning and the military power of the Northern Frontier."

Princess Yongjia was shocked. Did Li Yunzhou enter the palace yesterday? Oh, Chen Ping said that Li Yunzhou had been at the Shen family and returned home at night. Now it seems that they secretly entered the palace to find the emperor.

She was too impatient and careless, but it didn't matter, she still had a trick up her sleeve.

After her mind raced, Princess Yongjia knelt on the ground and burst into tears again.

"I beg my royal brother to help me. Li Yunzhou has been disrespectful to me since he returned to the capital after his meritorious service."

"He relied on the emperor's favor and didn't take me, his legal mother, seriously at all."

"Originally, I was going to treat him well because he is Sister Yongning's biological son. But since he is not Sister Yongning's son, I can no longer tolerate it."

"No matter what, can you let him leave the Li family first?"

Princess Yongjia's tearful accusation made many people look at Li Yunzhou. Now it seems that this mother and son are not as loving and filial as the rumors say.

Emperor Xuande looked at Princess Yongjia's crying with disgust.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to reprimand her, he heard Li Yunzhou say, "Since mother has brought this matter to Qianyang Palace, I should also give an explanation to the emperor and all the civil and military officials in the court."

"Your Majesty, I would like to summon a few people to the palace. Everyone should know the reason for what happened that year."

Emperor Xuande nodded and said, "Do as Prince Ning said."

Afterwards, the Dragon Guards followed Li Yunzhou's instructions and went out of the palace to look for someone.

Princess Yongjia didn't know what he was up to, but it was impossible for her to find Liu Fangcheng.

For Princess Yongjia, there are two things related to Li Yunzhou that cannot be known to others. One is her entanglement with Li Jingchuan and Yongning, and the other is what she has done to Li Yunzhou over the years.

Not many people knew about what happened back then, and even fewer people knew about it after Liu Fangcheng died. As for her beating and scolding Li Yunzhou, some servants of the Li family did know about it, but they were all her confidants, and they would not and dared not betray her.

Thinking of this, Princess Yongjia calmed down. Even if she couldn't punish Li Yunzhou, at least she could drive him out of the Li family.

Emperor Xuande glanced at Princess Yongjia who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Get up, step aside and wait."

It wasn't that he felt sorry for her kneeling, but she was kneeling right in front of him, and he felt annoyed just looking at her.

Princess Yongjia felt inexplicably relieved, as her brother still cared about her.

She stood up and stood aside, glancing at Li Yunzhou.

Li Yunzhou stood with his hands hanging down, staring at the white marble bricks, not knowing what he was thinking.

In order to avoid wasting time, Emperor Xuande and his court officials started talking about state affairs again.

It was not until a quarter of an hour later that the Dragon Guards returned with their men.

"Your Majesty, we have brought all the people that Prince Ning mentioned."

The title of "Your Highness Prince Ning" made Princess Yongjia hate him. Who the hell was he? How could he be called "Your Highness"?

Today she must strip him of his royal skin.

When Li Yunzhou heard that everyone had been brought here, he said, "Your Majesty, please summon Mr. Liu Fangcheng in first."

Princess Yongjia's expression froze when she heard this. Wasn't Liu Fangcheng dead?

But she didn't have time to think about it at this moment, because Liu Fangcheng had already entered the palace while she was stunned.

"I, Liu Fangcheng, pay my respects to His Majesty." Liu Fangcheng bowed respectfully.

Emperor Xuande still had an impression of Liu Fangcheng, as Yongning had learned a lot of painting from his father at that time.

"Stand up and talk." Thinking of his sister, Emperor Xuande's voice unconsciously slowed down a bit.

Li Yunzhou said to Liu Fangcheng, "Sir, why don't you tell us what happened between Princess Yongning and Prince Shan in the past, so as to clarify the facts and prevent her from being misunderstood."

Everyone looked puzzled. Is there any need to explain this?

Isn't it that Princess Yongning fell in love with Prince Shan, and after Prince Shan married Princess Yongjia, she was so sad that she went to live alone in another courtyard.

Later, on a moonlit night, the two of them got together by chance, otherwise Prince Shan would not have mistaken Li Yunzhou as his son.

Others thought so, but Princess Yongjia's hands unconsciously clenched under her sleeves.

Liu Fangcheng began to talk about the little-known incident that happened back then, his tone gentle and fluent.

"Yongning had received favors from the old princess of the Shanjun Palace, so when Li Jingchuan left the city for the border town, he sent someone to deliver a few boxes of snacks and also wrote a letter."

"But the letter was unsigned, and the content was just to encourage him to make achievements on the battlefield."

As soon as Liu Fangcheng said this, Li Jingchuan couldn't help but say, "You're talking nonsense. The snacks were sent to me by Yongjia. And the letter was also written by Yongjia."

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the civil and military officials present suddenly lit up. This was exciting to hear, and it was even more exciting than the storytelling on East Street.

Liu Fangcheng did not argue with Li Jingchuan, but chuckled and said, "That snack was what Yongning was best at when he was young, and everyone in the palace knew it at the time."

Li Jingchuan frowned. He was not aware of something that everyone in the palace knew. The reason was simple. The Li family had already fallen into decline at that time and did not interact much with the palace. Naturally, he was not aware of such inner palace affairs.

Liu Fangcheng added: "As for the handwriting, I still have the letter Yongning wrote to me. It would be okay for me to show it to you."

As he spoke, Liu Fangcheng took out a letter from his arms, folded it in half, brought it to Li Jingchuan, and showed him the first two lines.

Li Jingchuan froze there, thinking about the snacks Li Yunzhou brought back that night and the words he said.

He subconsciously looked at Princess Yongjia, but Princess Yongjia didn't look at him.

But they have been married for more than 20 years, and he can see the clues from her expression at a glance.

Liu Fangcheng continued, "After returning to the capital, Prince Shan married Princess Yongjia, but Princess Yongning didn't take it to heart."

"She sent that snack and wrote that letter out of respect for the old princess. The old princess said that the Li family had fallen on hard times, and that son was always complaining about himself. Yongning was kind-hearted, so she wanted to do something. But she didn't even dare to leave her name because she was afraid of causing trouble."

When Princess Yongjia heard the words "Yongning has a kind heart", she finally couldn't help but speak.

"Is she really like you said, that she has no private feelings for the prince? But what about that accidental consummation of marriage?"

"Even if the child is not the prince's, it does not change the fact that Yongning seduced a married man."

"The prince just stayed overnight in the other courtyard, and she did such a shameless thing. How do you explain it?"
