Just as Han and Bai Qianqian were discussing the matter of finding a bride for their younger brother, the little princess Xie Yijin blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "Grandma, is my uncle going to marry a bride?"

Although she didn't remember what her uncle looked like, her mother often talked about him.

She was still looking forward to meeting her uncle.

At the moment, I am still very happy to hear that my uncle is going to get married.

Han was amused by her granddaughter's innocent look and gently scratched her nose and said, "Yes, Xiao Jin'er."

The little princess clapped her hands, her face full of anticipation.

Bai Qianqian looked at her daughter's cute appearance and her heart was filled with warmth.

She turned to Han and said, "Mother, which girl do you think is more suitable? My brother has a straightforward personality, so he needs to find a gentle and kind woman."

Han nodded slightly and said, "Well, you are right. I have to think about which girl has such character."

Most importantly, family relationships are less complicated.

It would be best if there weren’t all those dirty things going on in the backyard.

But it's just a thought.

It depends on whether my son likes it or not.

Blind marriage is not acceptable in their family.

At this time, two young men, Xie Yixiao and Xie Yian, also started discussing on the side.

Xie Yixiao said: "It would be great if my uncle married an aunt who knows martial arts, so that we can practice martial arts together."

Xie Yian laughed and retorted: "That won't work. If my aunt is too powerful, my uncle will have no status."

The two of them chatted back and forth, making everyone laugh.

The sun shines in the yard, and the atmosphere is warm and cheerful.

Han looked at the children in front of her, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart.

She said to Bai Qianqian: "Qianqian, I am relieved that you are living a happy life now. When your brother gets married, our family will be more complete."

Bai Qianqian held her mother's hand, her eyes full of emotion, and said, "Mom, I will."

Just when everyone was immersed in beautiful visions, the doorman came hurriedly to report that an envoy from the army wanted to see them.

Han and Bai Qianqian looked at each other, and a feeling of anticipation welled up in their hearts.

Is there any news about my younger brother?

The messenger was brought to the courtyard. After bowing respectfully, he said, "Madam, Miss, General Bai asked me to bring a message to his family. He will be home soon."

Everyone was overjoyed to hear the news.

Han's eyes became red again with excitement, and Bai Qianqian also smiled happily.

Little Princess Xie Yijin jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Great, uncle is coming back!"

Just when the Bai family was looking forward to Bai Chenfeng's return, something suddenly happened in the palace.

The second prince Xie Yiling had a fierce conflict with the crown prince Xie Yixiuan, and was even injured by the crown prince.

For a moment, the Second Prince, the Fourth Prince, the Fifth Prince and others all glared at the Crown Prince, and the situation became tense.

Soon, the emperor was invited.

The emperor's face darkened instantly when he saw several princes attacking the crown prince.

The prince's expression was calm, and when asked by the emperor, he told the reason why he had injured the second prince in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

It turned out that the second prince Xie Yiling, in order to compete for a piece of imperial jade, disregarded the brotherhood, spoke harshly to the prince, and even tried to snatch it away.

In order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, the crown prince had no choice but to teach the second prince a lesson.

After hearing this, the emperor's expression turned even colder as he looked at the Second Prince and others.

He angrily rebuked: "As princes, you have no ambition and only know how to fight for power and profit all day long. You are all at fault for what happened today."

Afterwards, the emperor punished them by confining them to their homes for a month and ordered them to leave the palace and return home immediately.

The second prince and others looked indignant, and the second prince even spoke without thinking, saying that the emperor was partial.

Seeing this, the emperor was so angry that he laughed.

He has always been committed to treating every prince fairly and has never been partial to the crown prince and the third prince.

He fully hoped that the princes would be friendly and respectful to each other and work together for the prosperity and strength of the country.

But now it seems that I am destined to be disappointed.

Just at this moment, Concubine Wenxi hurried over with two other concubines.

Seeing her son being beaten, Concubine Wenxi felt heartbroken and cried, asking the emperor to make the decision.

The emperor looked at the chaotic scene and felt very annoyed.

He glared at Consort Wenxi and the others and said, "As concubines in the harem, you did not teach the princes well, but instead indulged them in doing wrong things. You are also to blame for what happened today."

Upon hearing this, Imperial Concubine Wenxi and others were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and apologized.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please step down and reflect on your mistakes. If you do it again, I will never forgive you."

After saying this, the emperor waved his sleeves and left, leaving the princes and concubines looking at each other in bewilderment, their hearts filled with panic.

After the emperor left angrily, the prince stood there with a sneer on his face.

He tilted his head slightly, signaled Xie Wu and Xie Liu to follow him with his eyes, then took big strides and left calmly.

Two dark shadows, Xie Wu and Xie Liuru, followed closely behind the prince.

They were the secret guards specially assigned to the prince by King Chen. Even though they had returned to the capital, they were always alert to their surroundings to ensure the prince's safety.

The prince knew in his heart that with his kung fu skills, he did not actually need protection from others, but he really could not refuse the concern from his uncle.

As soon as the prince left, Concubine Wenxi was so distressed that she quickly stepped forward and held the second prince's hand tightly.

The second prince's face was full of resentment, and the place where he was beaten by the crown prince seemed to still be painful.

Concubine Wenxi looked at her son's appearance, her heart filled with pity and her eyes slightly red.

Upon seeing this, the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince hurriedly followed. Their faces also looked unhappy and they were full of resentment towards the Crown Prince.

The two concubines looked at each other, sighed helplessly, and could only quickly follow.

The emperor returned to the imperial study angrily and sat down on the dragon throne. His chest was still rising and falling slightly, and it was obvious that his anger had not dissipated.

Eunuch Chen stood aside, not daring to even breathe, for fear of angering the emperor even more.

Over the years, the prince has been following Prince Chen to gain experience outside, but Eunuch Chen knows very well that the emperor's feelings for the prince have never diminished in the slightest.

Especially after the crown prince returned, the emperor would go to the Eastern Palace almost every two days.

As for what the father and son talked about in the East Palace, no one knows.

The imperial study was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and time seemed to have stood still.

After a long time, the emperor sighed heavily.

He turned his head slightly, looked at the trembling eunuch Chen beside him, and slowly asked: "Old Chen, do you think I should let the prince succeed to the throne earlier, so as to put an end to other people's thoughts."

When Eunuch Chen heard this, he was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a thump, his voice trembling, "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

The emperor looked at Eunuch Chen kneeling in panic, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Stand up and talk, I just said it casually, why are you so panicked?"
