"Princess, thank you Minister for requesting to see you!" Biyu ran over with a smile on her face and announced.

"Please!"

Ever since Murong Yu learned that Xie Baiyuan was promoted to the Minister of Personnel, she has been so happy that she can't stop smiling.

This is enough to show that the Emperor and the Crown Prince have already listed Bai Yuan as one of their confidants.

"I greet Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Brother Yuan, please don't be polite. Why are you here today?" Why didn't you come yesterday? She felt a little complained in her heart, but she didn't show it too obviously. After all, he came today.

"In a few days, I plan to hold a banquet to thank the emperor, the prince, and all the ministers. So, I will go back and discuss the date with mother."

"So that's how it is." After hearing this, Murong Yu no longer felt uncomfortable. A man should focus on state affairs, how can he be so sentimental?

"Oh, by the way, this is for the eldest princess." Xie Baiyuan handed it to her.

"What is this?" Murong felt that the package was extremely heavy and she could not lift it, so she glanced at Xiao Dezi next to her.

"Princess, I'll help you get it." When Xiao Dezi came over, he almost lost his grip, not to mention the princess. What did Minister Xie give? It was so heavy.

Bai Yuan chuckled, "The eldest princess must have kept it well. This is the ten thousand taels of gold that His Majesty gave me as a reward. I brought it to you."

Murong Yu: ...

Why give her gold? Although she likes it very much, she doesn't lack silver.

"My mother said that we must give girls a sense of security. She said that money is the best way to show this. So, I sent it to you. The rest will be donated to the disaster victims, and the rest will be used to hold a thank-you banquet."

After hearing this, Murong Yu's face turned red. Madam Xie already treated her as her own family. She doted on her even before they even got married, which made her a little overwhelmed.

Seeing that she didn't reply, Xie Boyuan's face fell. Could it be that his mother was wrong? He asked weakly, "Why? Doesn't the princess like it?"

"Like, like, thank you for the gift, Minister. I like it very much." Murong Yu said shyly.

Seeing this, Biyu, who was standing by, covered her face and laughed. She had never expected that Madam Xie was so good at teaching her son. The eldest princess was stunned by the coaxing.

Alas, her master is a love-brained person. I’m afraid he will be too excited to sleep tonight.

"As long as you like it." Bai Yuan wanted to say more, but he didn't know what to say.

Just then, the prince arrived.

"Sister."

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

"No need to be polite. When did Minister Xie arrive?"

"Your Highness, I have just arrived."

The prince nodded, and seeing that his eldest sister's face was as red as an apple, he suddenly felt that he had come at a wrong time, but it didn't seem a good idea to turn around and leave.

"Your Highness, I want to hold a thank-you banquet at Yunsheng Restaurant in a few days. I hope Your Majesty and the Crown Prince can come and show their support."

"Minister Xie really understands the ways of the world?" This might not be what the county magistrate said, right?

"Your Highness, please forgive me for making a fool of myself. Your Majesty has shown me great favor this time. My family and I have been greatly blessed. We should thank Your Majesty, Your Highness, and all the ministers for their appreciation."

Murong Yan thought about it and decided that it would be a good idea to go. It would be a good opportunity to observe the positions of these court ministers and prepare for his own ascension to the throne in the future.

"Okay, I will definitely come to support you when the time comes."

"Thank you, Your Highness. Please don't bring any gifts when you go there, Your Highness."

The prince was silent for a moment, and when he understood what he meant, he nodded in agreement.

"The Crown Prince and the Princess are busy, so I will take my leave now."

After saying this, Xie Baiyuan hurriedly walked out of the palace.

With the support of the crown prince, his thank-you banquet would be much smoother. Although some ministers looked down on him, they certainly did not dare to offend the crown prince.

……

Not long after, some rumors about Xie Boyuan began to spread in the court.

"Master Wang, have you heard? Minister Xie is a henpecked husband."

"Ah? Is this true? Hasn't he married the princess yet?"

"That's right, but I heard that he sent the ten thousand taels of gold awarded by the emperor directly to the princess."

"Really?"

"It is absolutely true. The maids and servants in the palace are all talking about it."

"Oh, this..." Lord Wang sighed, stroking his beard, "Minister Xie is really not up to the task. I'm afraid that this sentimental relationship will ruin everything."

"Who says it's not?"

As soon as the two finished their discussion, the Chief Censor came over from a distance.

"Have you two adults received the invitation from the Xie family?"

"Of course, Lord Chen, will you go and show your support?"

"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would also go, so how could we not go?" What's more, the county lady helped him find his son, so it was reasonable for him to go.

"Where are Lord Wang and Lord Xu? Aren't they going over?"

"Uh..." The two ministers looked at each other and said without comment, "That day is my child's birthday, I'm afraid I can't go." He didn't want to bow to a junior.

Du Yulang was enough of a headache for him back then, and now there’s Xie Baiyuan.

Why? He had worked so hard in the court for so many years. Even if he had no merit, he had worked hard. Why wouldn't the emperor be willing to give him a chance?

The more Lord Wang thought about it, the angrier he became. Even if the crown prince took the throne, he, as a newly-appointed emperor, would not dare to say anything wrong, let alone an unknown person like Xie Boyuan.

"Then I will take my leave first. You two adults can chat slowly."

After saying that, the Chief Censor left. These two old guys who relied on their age to bully others would be defeated by this sooner or later, and he didn't want to make himself unhappy and upset the Crown Prince and the Emperor.

Moreover, ever since the county princess saved his son, the Chief Censor has had a deeper understanding of Xie Baiyuan.

This person has been well-read since childhood. He has studied the contents of classics and military books very thoroughly. He has been improving day by day and has never slacked off. He is also very low-key in his daily life.

Unlike some ministers in the court, who brag about their achievements from more than a decade ago, they still want to show off in front of everyone. It's ok to be unprogressive, but they don't even have self-awareness.

……

Xie Mansion.

"Cousin, do you think this strength is okay?" Bai Jin squatted on the ground with a wronged look on his face, massaging Yunyan's legs.

Yunyan didn't say anything, but seeing her like that, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Bai Jin is so cute like this, she is completely different from the way she looked when she went to the market to slaughter pigs.

"Cousin, we don't want to kick someone when he's down." Bai Jin said with an unhappy look on his face, "Let me tell you, things will change over time, and no one will be spared by fate."

One day, she will make Yunyan pay back double the suffering she has endured.

"I'm not taking advantage of you. I just think you're actually pretty cute. Not as rebellious as your cousin said."

"Mother, you are framing me. I have always been well-behaved. As long as it is your wish, I will always obey." If she disobeys, she will have to marry the prince, which she cannot tolerate.

"Why don't you like the prince?" Yunyan was curious.

"If you don't like it, you just don't like it. Why do you have so many reasons?"

"Then do you have someone you like?"
