Mu Peiyao's face turned pale, and she leaned forward to explain: "Your Highness, she is my concubine's aunt."

"Yao'er grew up with Aunt Ning, so naturally she has a deeper relationship with her." Mu Yunyu also chimed in.

Hearing this, Concubine Shu was speechless again: "I was wondering how a young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion could be so ignorant of etiquette. It turns out that she was raised by a young woman. No wonder she is so shameless and has rolled into the same bed with my son before they even got married."

Mu Yunyu was a little embarrassed. Mu Peiyao's face was extremely ugly at this moment: "Madam Shufei..."

"Yao'er, you go down first." Seeing that the two were about to start quarreling again, Mu Yunyu hurriedly sent Mu Peiyao down.

After Mu Peiyao reluctantly left, Concubine Shu started talking to Mu Yunyu about serious matters: "Yu'er, you have to quickly welcome a wife into the palace, otherwise, when the child is born, I'm afraid that the prominent families in the capital will not be willing to marry their daughters to you."

"But this matter... I'd like to trouble my mother to talk to my father about it." Without Mu Peiyun, he could only choose from other families.

He had thought that the Taifu Mansion was quite popular among scholars and that if he couldn't get Mu Peiyun, then Taifu Yu's daughter would do. However, he had expressed his feelings to his father several times, but his father promised that girl to General Bai's son.

Now, apart from the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Grand Tutor's Mansion, I think only the daughter of the Minister of Rites can be a match.

"Well, then, mother will go and talk to the emperor about this today. Otherwise, when you reach adulthood and leave the palace to start your own residence, it will be too late."

This reminded Mu Yunyu that it was inconvenient to do things in the palace now, but if he went outside the palace, Mu Yunchen, I'm afraid you won't be able to sit so comfortably on the position of the crown prince.

"Thank you, mother." Looking at Concubine Shu's departing back, Mu Yunyu's eyes were dark and his emotions were unclear. In his eyes, anyone can be used for the sake of that high position.

In the evening, before Concubine Shu entered the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, the Emperor stopped her at the door, saying that he was busy with state affairs and had no intention of chatting.

After a drizzle, the air in the courtyard became fresher. Su Ning's death did not cause any impact on the mansion.

Mu Qingqing directly converted the Mujing Pavilion into a greenhouse, and the hydrangeas and jasmine that had been moved in a few days ago were in full bloom these days.

Mu Peiyun looked at the flowers and plants taken care of by her mother and suddenly felt emotional. On the day she was reborn, it was already late spring when she opened her eyes. Now four or five months have passed. In July, the capital city has reached the transition from summer to autumn earlier than in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Your Highness, this Prince's Mansion was built by the Ministry of Works two years ago. I have sent people to take good care of it inside and outside. Your Highness, take a look and see if it satisfies you."

Li Baoquan had just come from the Prince Heqin's residence with a few young eunuchs. When he arrived at the Crown Prince's residence, he immediately conveyed the Emperor's words when he saw Mu Yunchen for the first time.

Mu Yunchen glanced at Li Baoquan nonchalantly, and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you, father. Please tell father, I understand what he means."

How could he not know that his father was just testing them? Otherwise, how could Li Baoquan dare to ask such a question as "Does his father's kindness depend on his heart?"

Come to think of it, it was just that he and Mu Yunyu moved out of the palace at the same time and set up their own residence, and the emperor was just testing and warning them with this.

If I'm not mistaken, Mu Yunyu probably heard the same thing.

"Really? Do you think the prince really said that?" The emperor looked at Li Baoquan with suspicion.

Li Baoquan bent his body slightly and added tea for the emperor, then nodded.

The prince actually guessed it. The emperor frowned at first, and then burst into laughter. The person he chose must be this smart.

"What about the fifth prince?"

"Your Majesty, tell the prince that I asked you to thank me. He likes it very much. Thank you for the reward."

"Hmph, he really knows how to enjoy it." The emperor was a little angry. He liked it very much, but I was still not satisfied.

“Your Majesty, I dare to ask you a question. Since you already have…” Li Baoquan did not finish his words. He just stopped there and waited quietly for the emperor to clarify.

"Old man, you dare to speculate about the Crown Prince. How dare you! Aren't you afraid that I will kill all your clans?"

After hearing this, Li Baoquan almost dropped the teacup in his hand, and was so frightened that he broke out in a sweat. When the emperor is angry, blood will splatter three feet.

He immediately knelt on the ground and apologized: "I am a talkative servant. I am a talkative servant. Please, Your Majesty, spare my life."

"Hmph, get up." The emperor rubbed his brows. The hearts of people in this palace are complicated. The concubines in the harem all say that they care about him, but in fact, everyone is after his position.

In addition to the fact that Li Baoquan had been serving him since he ascended the throne, he even saw Li Baoquan more often than the empress.

"The Crown Prince looks like me when I was young. Damu's kingdom needs someone like him who is bold and calculating to inherit it. But it is precisely because the Crown Prince is too young that other princes need to check and balance him to temper his temper."

Li Baoquan: Your Majesty, you are praising yourself, right?

"Your Highness the Crown Prince will surely know the Emperor's good intentions in the future."

and the Prince's Palace.

Mu Yunyu opened the imperial edict in front of him again. The three words "Prince" on it were particularly eye-catching.

And the prince.

This requires him to be a good minister who can live in harmony with his brothers and be friendly to his younger brothers. His father is really like that. He only focuses on Mu Yunchen, paving all the ways for him and making wedding dresses for the prince for all other princes.

Mu Yunchen, you were just born with a good belly and became the crown prince after choosing a queen. When it comes to governing the country and pacifying the world, I am not a bit worse than you.

Just wait, you won't be able to sit firmly on the throne of the crown prince. Sooner or later, the Mu Kingdom will belong to me.

"Ah, ha!" Mu Yunchen sat in the study, flipping through the memorial that the emperor had ordered Li Baoquan to bring to him.

"Your Highness, I'll go make you a pot of hot tea. Don't catch a cold." Bi Qi stood at the door, listening to the sneezing sounds from inside, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Although the master practices martial arts on weekdays, he is prone to catching a cold when the seasons change. The seasons in the capital change earlier, so it's almost time now.

"It doesn't matter."

How could Bi Qi listen to Mu Yunchen? She winked at Bi Shiqi who was standing beside her. Soon Bi Shiqi left the study and came back with a pot of tea in her hands.

"Your Highness, please take care of yourself." Bi Shiqi poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Mu Yunchen.

Mu Yunchen raised his eyes and glanced at them: "It's so hot, and you let me drink hot tea?"

Bi Shiqi glanced at Bi Qi, bowed to Mu Yunchen and said, "Your Highness, I will go to guard the door." Then he left Bi Qi with only his back.

Bi Qi's smile suddenly disappeared, feeling a little embarrassed, and changed the subject: "Your Highness, the Chinese Valentine's Day will be in a few days."

"So what?" Mu Yunchen disagreed. His attention was completely on the memorials in front of him, many of which were from the Censorate impeaching other officials.
