After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

When Song Mingli came to Chu Yanchen's study, he had just returned from outside.

Seeing Song Mingli standing in the study courtyard, under the huge osmanthus tree, he couldn't help but look gentle.

He concealed his breath and approached her quietly from behind.

I originally wanted to scare her from behind.

But I'm also afraid that if I really scare her...wouldn't I be the one who feels bad?

He hesitated for a moment, and Song Mingli suddenly turned around and raised his hand to scratch his nose.

"Still want to scare me?" Song Mingli chuckled.

Chu Yanchen was stunned. "It's not possible, is it? How could the princess find out that I concealed my aura like this? Is the princess secretly practicing internal skills?"

Song Mingli didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How can internal energy training be done overnight?"

Chu Yanchen still had a puzzled look on his face.

"You just came from your father's place, right? The smell of ambergris is very overbearing. Even a little bit of it will linger for a long time."

Chu Yanchen raised his sleeve and sniffed hard, "Is there?"

"Your Highness will get used to it, so he won't feel it anymore. Well, I have something serious to tell Your Highness."

Song Mingli took his big hand and led him into the house.

The slight confusion between Chu Yanchen's brows disappeared instantly as she held his hand.

As they spent time together day and night, he felt the change in Song Mingli.

Her heart, which had been broken and cold, finally became warm and passionate again.

He gently held her hand. Her fingertips were a little cold, and the warmth of his palm was just enough to warm up that chill.

"This is the case of Chengnan Village being bullied over the years, but having no way to file a complaint." Song Mingli took out the stack of papers written by Meng Fanhai.

"Yesterday, I wanted Princess Cheng to do more good deeds, so I asked the village head to count them. If they have any difficulties, they can report them to Princess Cheng."

"With so many of us here, watching in person, it would be great to be crowned as a princess, she will definitely agree."

"I originally thought it was just about which family was short of food and clothing, which family had widows and orphans who needed care, which family was sick and had no money to buy medicine... things like that."

"But I didn't expect that things would be more complicated than I thought. There is even a matter of the court occupying farmland. You can see for yourself."

Chu Yanchen also put away his playful expression.

He picked up the papers and looked at them carefully. The more he looked, the more serious his expression became. "Oh, what a lot of stuff to deceive the superiors and the subordinates!"

Chu Yanchen slammed the papers on the table.

"Father is very busy, Beili is a vast country, and Chengnan Village is just a village with a few hundred households. Sometimes, it is difficult to notice that it is being bullied, and it is inevitable that some officials will take advantage of the situation."

Song Mingli said softly and poured him a cup of tea.

Chu Yanchen was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "I don't plan to tell my father about this matter directly."

"Hmm?" Song Mingli thought for a moment, "Does the prince want to handle these matters personally?"

The matter of occupying arable land involved the Ministry of Households.

Chu Yanchen works in the Ministry of War. Is it appropriate for him to directly interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue?

Of course, he is Prince Jing and is favored by the emperor, so if he really wants to take charge, it is not impossible.

Chu Yanchen smiled and gently rubbed her cheek with his hand. "Didn't you tell me that rigidity is easy to break, and asked me to be more restrained after becoming a husband and a father?"

"How dare I forget what the princess said? I keep it in my heart all the time."

Song Mingli was amused by his tone.

"I plan to submit it directly to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It just so happens that the Crown Prince needs political achievements and also needs to replace some old bones who are just sitting there doing nothing. What he lacks is a good timing and a suitable excuse."

Chu Yanchen's fingers fell on the stack of papers and tapped them. "Isn't this delivered to my door?"

Song Mingli couldn't help but feel happy.

Chu Yanchen really did what he said. He said he wanted to be a good husband and a good father, and it turned out that he was not just talking.

He used to do things based on his own preferences. Although he was favored, he also offended many people.

Now, he can think twice before acting, restrain his edge, and behave like a loyal minister.

"Then it will all be up to the prince. I hope that this time, the people of Nancun will not be disappointed." Song Mingli said.

“Don’t worry, Princess. How could I bear to disappoint you on the matter you entrusted to me?” Chu Yanchen pinched her face lightly.

When she was not prepared, he lowered his head and placed a kiss on her soft lips.

He didn't dare to go deeper, for fear that if he lingered for a moment, he would be reluctant to leave.

"When I return, I will have a deep exchange with the princess tonight."

Song Mingli was ashamed and angry, and reached out to hit him.

He dodged and was already more than ten steps away.

Chu Yanchen immediately went to the East Palace and handed what Meng Fanhai had written to the prince for his review.

Meng Fanhai wrote every detail as possible, including the event, location, cause, and how the people tried to seek justice but were obstructed.

The biggest issue is the occupation of arable land in Nancun.

The Ministry of Revenue approved this matter, but the land approved was 600 acres, and the people were given a subsidy of two taels of silver per acre.

But according to what Meng Fanhai wrote, the actual area occupied was more than one thousand acres.

The prince and Chu Yanchen closed the door and discussed the matter in detail for an hour.

All he could hear was the prince laughing loudly and patting Chu Yanchen on the shoulder, his tone very pleased and happy, "No wonder the ancients said that men should get married and start a family, and put getting married first."

"Yanchen is really different now that he has a family. He has become more capable! I am very happy to have a brother like you!"

Chu Yanchen cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Highness."

"You and I are brothers, don't be polite." The prince suddenly said, "I heard that your son Jingyou is smart and clever, and he is very good at studying?"

Chu Yanchen smiled and said, "This child is diligent, better than me when I was a child."

"Hahaha," the prince laughed, "This is the first time I see you so openly say that someone is better than you. This person is actually your son. Tsk tsk, should I say you are humble or proud?"

Chu Yanchen also laughed.

"Ask him to come to the East Palace and study with Xi Yuan. The two brothers have been together since childhood, so their relationship is deeper than others!" The prince patted Chu Yanchen's shoulder again, with admiration and trust in his eyes.

Chu Xiyuan is the eldest son of the crown prince. When the crown prince ascends the throne, Chu Xiyuan will be the future crown prince.

If you study with him, you will become a close minister to the emperor in the future.

He gave the title to Jingyou just to give Jingyou wealth and glory.

But if he could gain the emperor's trust, Jingyou would be able to display his talents and make his own contributions in this world.

Chu Yanchen was very satisfied with the prince's arrangement.

The prince ordered his men to investigate the matter in detail, secretly find the evidence, and when the evidence was conclusive, present it to the emperor.

At that time, we can catch those people off guard.

If this matter is to be done well and quickly, Chu Yanchen will have to help secretly.

……

King Cheng finally found out why his princess obtained the "Book of All Peoples" but refused to give it up.

This is unlike her previous personality, when she would want the whole capital to know about the smallest good thing she did.

King Cheng snorted and laughed, "Xu Jinshu, ah Xu Jinshu, this is all the courage and strategy you have."

She is just an ignorant woman in the inner house!

No, she couldn't even manage the inner chambers. Most of the income of Prince Cheng's Mansion was managed by the housekeeper.

King Cheng closed his eyes, calmed the resentment and dissatisfaction in his chest, then stood up and went to Princess Cheng's courtyard.
