Faced with her mother's rebuke, Zhao Hui burst into tears, "Mom, you are so mean to me. I will tell Dad later."

Zhao Feng couldn't sleep because of her noise, so he said to his wife, "Okay, call her in."

Zhao Hui made a face at her mother and ran in happily, "Dad, have you told the emperor about my daughter's marriage to Master Xie?"

"Let's put this matter aside for now and discuss it later. And you are not allowed to do anything at the Princess' birthday banquet, understand?"

"Why?" Zhao Hui couldn't accept this fact. "Didn't you say you would make the decision for your daughter? How can you go back on your word?"

"Alright, alright! You go out first. When the emperor's attitude towards the Zhao family softens, I will mention this to the emperor."

"father!"

Zhao Feng didn't want to pay attention to her anymore, so he waved his hand and signaled her to leave.

Mrs. Zhao came in at this time and comforted her daughter, "Okay, your father will make the decision for you. Go out first. Be quiet for the next two days and don't cause trouble for your father, okay?"

"Hmph!" Zhao Hui threw away her hands. Since her father was useless, she could only rely on herself.

Anyway, at the eldest princess's banquet, Xie Boyuan must be her man.

……

Early the next morning.

"Second Madam, the eldest young master wants to know what to do about the old lady's funeral?"

Yun Zhihan looked at the time. The eldest princess' birthday would be in two days. The old lady died at a wrong time. She must attend the banquet for the royal relatives.

But the Xie family had just been named a family of loyalty and filial piety, so they couldn't just hold a simple ceremony. This was really a headache. Fortunately, Yuan'er's official position in the court was not high, so there was no need to make a big fuss.

"Ask the young master to come in."

"Yes!" Jinshang went out to call for help.

"Mom, are you feeling better today?" Bai Yuan was more worried about his mother's health. The Xie family couldn't do without her.

"It's okay. Mother asked you to come here to discuss the old lady's funeral and the eldest princess' birthday."

"My son always listens to his mother's arrangements."

Yun Zhihan thought for a moment and said, "These two things need to be done at the same time. On the day of the eldest princess' birthday, you, me and Bai Jin will go to the palace, and the rest of us will stay in Xie's house to mourn."

"Yes!"

"After the eldest princess' birthday is over, inform the other noble families to come visit. Do not offend the eldest princess."

"My son understands."

"Well, mother will take care of this matter. Yuan'er should focus more on government affairs and never let down the eldest princess, understand?"

"Mother..." When Bai Yuan mentioned Murong Yu, his face suddenly turned red to his ears, "There is nothing wrong with my son and the princess."

Yun Zhihan rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, I know there's nothing wrong with you two. You two are innocent."

"Don't worry, mother. I will do my best to protect the princess."

"You must guard Her Royal Highness the Princess on her birthday and are not allowed to leave without permission. You'd better drink less water that day." This son is really stupid.

"Ah?" Bai Yuan was dull. What was the connection between guarding the princess and drinking less water? "Mother, please explain clearly."

Yun Zhihan said angrily, "Drink less water and go to the toilet less often."

"I understand, son. I'll take my leave now!" Before he could finish his words, he fled.

"Ah, this kid is too reserved. If he keeps wasting time like this, when will his marriage with the princess be put on the agenda?"

"Hanhan, don't worry. Bai Yuan is very capable and will definitely win the princess's favor." Tongzi comforted her, "There are still two big melons. Do you want to eat them?"

“Who is it all about?”.

"One is about Song Lian, the other is about Prince Fenyang. Tongzi discovered another of his followers."

"Oh? Let's talk about the one with Prince Fenyang first." She couldn't wait to know who the other one was.

"Tongzi found a man named Du Yulang among the ministers. He is the current Minister of War and is only 21 years old."

“You have reached such a high position at such a young age?” Yun Zhihan found it unbelievable. This was the treatment only geniuses could have.

"Yes." Tongzi gave a brief introduction, "Although Du Yulang was born in a humble family, his physical fitness is different from that of ordinary people. He has been extremely strong since he was a child."

"I fought in two battles, performed meritorious services, and forced the Southern Kingdom to sign a truce."

"How did he do it?" Yun Zhihan couldn't believe it. The Southern Kingdom's army was so powerful that it took the combined efforts of Dong Yueguo and the Great Zhou Kingdom to repel them. How could this young man do this on his own?

Tongzi sighed and told her, "Because he raped the Princess of the Southern Kingdom, the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom was furious when he heard about it and vowed to kill him."

"But Du Yulang had a trick up his sleeve. He also kidnapped the Fourth Prince of the Southern Kingdom and threatened them that as long as they signed a truce, he would release the Fourth Prince and he would never mention the Southern Kingdom Princess's experience."

"The Emperor of the Southern Kingdom attached great importance to the Fourth Prince and regarded him as the heir to the throne. Therefore, he signed a ten-year truce despite the humiliation."

Yun Zhihan took a deep breath, "A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. Moreover, he humiliated the princess? Does the emperor know?"

"Of course I don't know. Who would dare to bring up such a thing?"

"This will be a hidden danger in the future. Ten years later, the Emperor of the Southern Kingdom will not let the Great Zhou Kingdom go."

"Well, he is now a follower of Prince Fenyang and a very dangerous person."

Yun Zhihan couldn't imagine what kind of pain it was for a father to have his daughter buried in the ground and his son held captive.

"He didn't do anything to the Fourth Prince, did he?"

"No, I just carved a turtle and a shame on his face with a knife. After that, the child became depressed."

She shook her head and sighed, "What a sin!"

"And there's Song Lian's, do you want to listen?" Tongzi saw that she was in a bad mood and thought she didn't want to listen.

"Tell me, I really want to know, how much free time does Song Lian have? Isn't it good to manage their family business properly? Do you have to climb up the social ladder? Do you really think you are the heroine of the past?"

"She came in person, agreed to the marriage with Bai Liang, and let Yuanshi make the decision."

Hearing this, Yun Zhihan spat out the water he had just drunk, "Did Yuan agree?"

"Yes, I agreed, and we even exchanged engagement letters."

"Are these two crazy? Why did they suddenly do this?"

"Because the Xie family had just received a reward from the emperor, Song Lian didn't dare to falsely accuse Bai Yuan, so she could only marry into the Xie family first."

"Haha!" Yun Zhihan was speechless, "Does Liang'er know?"

"I don't know. Song Lian hasn't had time to tell him yet." Tongzi advised, "Hanhan, you have to stop Liang Er and don't let him do anything stupid. Song Lian is not a good person."

"If she comes, will the Xie family still have a peaceful life?"

"Hey!" Yun Zhihan thought about it and decided not to interfere. "Children's marriage is decided by their parents and matchmakers. I'm not her mother, so I can't interfere."

"What's more, this is also the best opportunity to test Bai Liang. If he passes the test, I am willing to hand over Yunsheng Restaurant to him. Otherwise, I can only take it back."
