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

Princess Cheng couldn't keep pretending to be sick, so she hid for a few days.

I heard that the incident in the south of the city is over.

Song Mingli was serious and actually went there for three days.

I also heard that she not only distributed green rice dumplings and spring rolls, but also invited doctors to provide free medical consultations.

It would have been fine if she just provided free medical treatment, but she actually found a way out for those peasant children in Nancun.

"Does she think those unruly people will be grateful to her? Oh, so naive."

"A little bit of money is a favor, a big bit of money is a grudge. Those unruly people will not remember her kindness even if they get the benefit."

"When she gets into trouble, those people will want to pounce on her and bite her. They are not from the same class. Does she think that by lowering herself, she can gain true love?"

"Heh, she only knows how to call her her original class and look down on her!"

Princess Cheng said with disdain as she ate the peanuts and melon seeds peeled by her maid.

The maids and nannies in the room felt uncomfortable after hearing this.

Most of them come from poor families.

Although they were forced to become slaves to survive.

But they also expect that their sincere service to their masters will be rewarded with their masters' sincerity.

But it turned out that they were naive.

No matter how hard they try or how sincere they are, in the eyes of their masters, they will only be looked down upon as a class, right?

"Princess, the prince is here." Nanny Tian hurried in and reported.

Princess Cheng immediately stood up, lay down on the bed and continued to pretend to be sick.

But halfway through the action, she suddenly remembered, "I've been sick for a few days, it's time to recover. It's not right to be sick all the time."

"Besides, the matter in the south of the city is over, and even Song Mingli has calmed down."

Princess Cheng asked her people to collect the melon seeds and peanuts, then got up to go and greet King Cheng.

"Why is Your Majesty here at this time? Have you had dinner yet?" Princess Cheng's smile was a little stiff.

She knew why King Cheng came, but she hadn't figured out how to deal with it.

"The princess looks much better, and it seems that she has recovered from her illness." King Cheng sat down in the room and told the servants to leave without waiting for tea.

There were only the couple left in the room, so King Cheng got straight to the point.

"Please show me the Book of All Nations."

Princess Cheng was frozen in place, and said awkwardly, "Not tens of thousands of people, but just over a thousand..."

"I say, take it out, I want to see it." King Cheng frowned.

Seeing that he had a gloomy face, Princess Cheng slowly went to look for him.

"You don't have to hide it. I already know where this book of all people came from." King Cheng snorted, "Many of them have been oppressed by the powerful people in Kyoto, and they have nowhere to file a complaint and get justice."

"I didn't expect that you would have the opportunity to do good. They wanted you to make the decision for them, or at least expose this matter, so they gave you the Book of All Nations."

Princess Cheng's face turned pale, "Your Highness...I, I didn't mean to cause you trouble."

King Cheng looked at her deeply and sighed, "When did I ever say that you caused me trouble?"

Princess Cheng was slightly stunned and looked at him with some surprise.

"Your Majesty..."

how can that be possible?

She was schemed against by Song Mingli and used by those peasants, and took on this offensive task.

The prince doesn’t blame her?

King Cheng explained patiently, "You only see that it will offend people, but you don't see the opportunity behind this matter."

"I will tell my father about these things and ask for his permission, saying that I am willing to do this. My father will definitely give me the power."

"When this prince holds real power, will he still be afraid of offending others? Why is Chu Yanchen so domineering and never afraid of offending others?"

"That's because he has the emperor's favor, meritorious service, and actual power."

Princess Cheng took a deep breath and nodded repeatedly, "I see..."

So this is what the prince thought!

Then why is she hiding it?

Princess Cheng quickly took out the book signed by the people and handed it to King Cheng.

King Cheng took a quick look and smiled, "Okay, I'll present it to my father tomorrow!"

"Your Majesty, please keep it for your use..."

Before he uttered the word "food", the King Cheng's men had already arrived outside the door.

"No, let's have the celebration banquet together tomorrow night." King Cheng's voice floated in from outside the door.

Princess Cheng was very dissatisfied with his behavior of throwing things away after use.

But the three words "celebration banquet" quickly pleased her.

Princess Cheng snorted with pride, "Song Mingli still wanted to plot against me. This time, she shot herself in the foot, didn't she?"

Princess Cheng imagined that her prince would take this opportunity to seize the real power and trample Prince Jing under his feet. She couldn't help but feel extremely happy.

She even imagined, if Prince Jing knew that this opportunity was given to him by Princess Jing herself...how would Prince Jing treat Song Mingli?

Prince Jing is a warrior. Unlike Prince Cheng who would just look gloomy when he is angry, would he just beat Song Mingli severely?

Thinking of this, Princess Cheng was in a good mood. She called Nanny Tian in and asked her to prepare tomorrow's dinner well.

A celebration banquet should naturally be more sumptuous.

King Cheng was also very happy.

He put the petition signed by the people under his pillow, intending to present it to his father the next day.

Not only can he gain the respect of his father, but he can also take the opportunity to gain real power.

Simply beautiful.

As for offending people? Oh, he is a prince, a noble prince! When he has real power, he will be like a roc spreading its wings and riding the wind.

Is he afraid of offending a few ministers and dignitaries?

How many people in Kyoto are more powerful than him?

King Cheng had a wonderful dream all night, and it was so beautiful that he almost fainted in the morning.

But when he thought about what he had to present to his father today, he jumped up again.

He didn't even eat the hot soup and noodles to fill his stomach, and then changed into court clothes and entered the palace.

He originally wanted to take the things out at the court meeting.

But he glanced at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince standing in the front left... Forget it, the Crown Prince is still here, so he shouldn't be too high-profile.

In order to avoid being hated by the prince and being attacked crazily by his followers.

It is better to wait until he gets face and benefits from his father in private... and wait until he can compete with the prince head on, then show his true colors.

King Cheng kept restraining his feet and did not move forward.

For the first time, he felt that the court meeting was so long and boring.

As for how many people the censor impeached today and why, he didn't hear it clearly at all.

Those words went in one ear and out the other, leaving no impression on his mind.

He was completely thinking about how to talk to his father so that he could get the rights he wanted.

Ask my father to go to the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Revenue, or the Dali Temple?

"Adjourn the court--" the chief steward sang loudly.

King Cheng suddenly felt that this was the most pleasant sound he had heard today.

The ministers dispersed the court.

King Cheng lagged behind the crowd by a few steps, watching the crown prince and his ministers leave.

He turned around and chased after his father.

As soon as the emperor arrived at the imperial study, King Cheng followed him and asked for an audience.

The emperor was stunned. What was the matter? Why didn't he say it in the court meeting, but instead had to go to the imperial study to talk about it?

Maybe it's a private matter?

The emperor called him in.

King Cheng hesitated for a while and took out the so-called "Book of All Nations" and presented it to him.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Chengnan Village again?"

again?

King Cheng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his father already knew about Chengnan Village? No way.

Chengnan Village is poor and remote, and most of the people living there are poor and untouchables. How could my father know about Chengnan Village?

"Oh, the people have signed a joint letter of thanks, thanking Princess Cheng for caring about and investigating the people's grievances?"

The emperor raised his eyes and looked at King Cheng with a smile.

King Cheng inexplicably felt a chill down his spine.
