After Xie Mochen left, the emperor was silent for a while and waved to Eunuch Li.

"Go and call the virtuous king and the princess."

"I obey your command!" Eunuch Li walked out with a smile.

He led a group of eunuchs out of the palace and went to Prince Xian's mansion.

He knew very well that this time, the eldest daughter of the Bai family, Princess Xian, had saved the Emperor of Mobei.

It prevented a war between the two countries.

The emperor will definitely reward you.

But gold, silver and jewelry are definitely not enough.

Anyway, this is a good thing for the Sixth Prince.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought him along.

In the Xianwang Mansion, Bai Jinyan was chatting with Xie Jingyu about the trip to Mobei.

"Fortunately you arrived in time, otherwise if the Emperor of Mobei was gone, the Crown Prince would definitely succeed to the throne smoothly and send troops to my Fengyun Kingdom!" Xie Jingyu looked at the person in front of him with burning eyes.

Bai Jinyan smiled and leaned towards Xie Jingyu's shoulder.

As he was speaking, Eunuch Li arrived with his men.

"The Virtuous Prince, the Virtuous Princess, the Emperor invites you." Eunuch Li said.

The virtuous prince and his wife hurriedly stood up and followed Eunuch Li into the palace.

When they arrived at the palace, the emperor sat on the dragon throne with a gentle expression.

"I, your son (daughter-in-law), pay my respects to your father."

The emperor smiled and said, "Quickly stand up. I called you here today to reward you. My dear daughter-in-law, you have made great contributions this time. I will reward you generously."

Bai Jinyan replied respectfully: "I dare not take credit for it. It is my honor to contribute to the peace between the two countries."

The emperor nodded and said, "After much deliberation, I have decided to give you the farm outside the capital, and also give you a thousand taels of gold. Sixth brother, do you have any objection to my making you the crown prince?"

"Your son has no objection!" The Sixth Prince felt dizzy.

So you make him the crown prince?

Is it too fast?

He thought he was going to fight with his second brother.

The two could only express their gratitude.

As soon as I returned home, Eunuch Li came with rewards.

Bai Jinyan was naturally delighted about this.

At the morning court the next day, the emperor announced that the sixth prince, King Xian, would be appointed crown prince.

Some courtiers were shocked, while others were happy.

And angry.

But none of these prevented the emperor from announcing the title of Xuanwang for the second prince.

He was also granted the land of Yunzhou.

You can go there immediately and you are not allowed to return to the capital without being summoned.

The second prince's face turned pale, his face full of disbelief.

He knelt down and cried, "I just want to serve you, father. Please take back your order!"

The emperor's expression suddenly turned ugly.

He snorted coldly, "Second brother, are you going to disobey my order?"

"I dare not!" The second prince broke out in a cold sweat, but he did not dare to talk about staying in the capital.

He knew deeply that his father had given up on him.

If the sixth son had only been made the crown prince, he would not have been so disheartened.

Wasn’t the third brother also the prince before?

It hasn't been abolished yet.

So what if I become the crown prince?

As long as he doesn't sit in that position, he has a chance.

But now, he is going to his fiefdom.

And without his father's order, he couldn't even return to the capital.

Otherwise it would be disobeying the order.

The second prince completely collapsed.

The person fainted immediately.

The emperor looked around coldly, and seeing that no one was talking, he said again: "I will also give a reward to King Chen for this trip to Mobei. My dear ministers, what can you tell me about the reward for him?"

The ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to speak for a while.

After a while, an old minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, King Chen has made an invaluable contribution this time. Why not reward him with ten thousand taels of gold?"

The emperor frowned slightly, seeming dissatisfied with the proposal.

Is the fifth son in his family short of money?

This is a joke!

At this time, another minister said: "Your Majesty, why not reward King Chen with some good land and beautiful houses so that he can enjoy wealth and prosperity."

The emperor remained silent, his eyes sweeping over the crowd.

At this time, the left prime minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think you can grant King Chen some military power."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the court. Some people agreed, while others opposed.

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "The matter of granting military power still needs to be considered carefully. Although King Chen has made great contributions, the military power is of great importance."

Just when everyone was talking about it.

A young official stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think you can give King Chen some precious antiques, calligraphy and paintings, which will not only show his elegance, but also reflect your Majesty's appreciation for him."

The emperor nodded and said, "This is not a bad idea."

Finally, the emperor decided to reward King Chen with ten thousand taels of gold, a thousand acres of fertile land, and a number of precious antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

After the court session, the news reached Prince Chen's palace.

When Xie Mochen heard about the reward, he looked calm and didn't care about it.

He is now in a hurry to return to Guanzhou.

In the palace, after waking up, the second prince learned that the decree to demote him to a fiefdom could not be changed, and his heart was filled with resentment.

"It was all because of the Sixth Prince and Bai Jinyan that this prince ended up like this! I will not be a human being if I don't take revenge!" The Second Prince said gritting his teeth.

His trusted followers advised: "Your Highness, as long as you have the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. When we get to the fiefdom, we will make a long-term plan."

The second prince had no choice but to set off for Yunzhou with a heart full of anger and unwillingness.

Prince Dust's Palace.

Xie Mochen wrote a letter and gave it to the secret guard.

Now the Sixth Prince has become the Crown Prince.

Moreover, the second prince had also gone to his fiefdom and was not allowed to return to the capital without being summoned.

That's a good thing for him.

He had no idea about that position.

Right now, of course, I should go back to Guanzhou and be with the little girl.

However, he still sent Uncle Fu to Bai's house.

All the rewards from the emperor were given to Bai Qianqian's parents.

The fertile fields bestowed by the emperor are all in the capital.

He went to Guanzhou but couldn't get it.

It would be better to give it to Bai Qianqian’s parents.

Uncle Fu was gone for a long time before coming back.

As soon as I came back, I went to King Chen to complain.

"My Lord, next time something like this happens, don't let me go."

“I almost didn’t send it out.”

"It was the Left Prime Minister who decided to let Second Master Bai accept it."

"No one pushes things out."

"..."

Xie Mochen was not surprised at all.

But I haven’t thought about next time.

After all, once is enough.

That night.

Xie Mochen went to the Prince's Mansion alone without any secret guards.

After being named the Crown Prince, the Sixth Prince's Xianwang Mansion became the Crown Prince's Mansion.

But the plaque was not finished.

The prince and Bai Jinyan were both very happy about Xie Mochen's arrival.

Moreover, Bai Jinyan knew that the two brothers must have something to say, so he offered them tea and left the study.

He also took out all the servants and guards in the yard.

In the study.

Xie Mochen raised his eyebrows and looked at the prince, smiling: "Sixth brother, now that you have become the prince, I no longer need to pave the way for you."

"Fifth brother, don't worry. This prince will definitely protect the people and things that I care about." The prince also made a promise, "It has always been my wish that the people live in peace and happiness."

Xie Mochen curled his lips and smiled.

He didn't come here to talk about this.

Instead, he was asked to look after the Bai Mansion.

The prince naturally nodded in agreement.

After sending the person out of the Prince's Mansion and watching King Chen's departing back, the Prince felt sad.
