The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

"From your tone, it seems that you are unhappy about the Duke's promotion this time?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with a little weariness, his eyes closed.

"I can't say I'm happy, but I just feel a little strange. My father didn't do anything good, so how come he was suddenly promoted?" In front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Yang Qi didn't pretend.

Over the years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew exactly how deep the father-daughter relationship between him and Song Hongwen was.

Whether it was Song Hongwen looking down on him or ordering him to kneel down, all these things happened under the nose of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

There was really no need for Yang Qi to pretend to have a loving father and daughter relationship in front of His Highness.

"Song Hongwen's promotion this time was the work of Old Five." During this period, Old Five has been making frequent moves. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has his own plans to make, and he also wants to disrupt Old Five's plans.

I've been feeling a bit tired these days.

“It is indeed the Fifth Prince.

The Emperor's decree for marriage has been issued, and the Fifth Prince's hopes of marrying Bai Yuxin have been shattered.

Could it be that the fifth prince has taken a fancy to my second sister?

Or is it that the Duke of Song's family is not the only one to be promoted this time?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince opened his eyes and glanced at the girl with a hint of approval: "You are quite smart."

For outsiders, being praised by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a great honor and worth celebrating for a lifetime. If a scholar can receive a compliment from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he will surely take note of everything the Crown Prince said and appreciate the highlight of his life every day.

However, for Yang Qi, this praise is commonplace.

"Your Highness, the Ministry of Personnel is yours. Why do you let the Fifth Prince promote his own people so smoothly?" Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already knows the Fifth Prince's intentions, why should he let him get his wish at this time?

Hearing the rare rebuke in the maid's words, His Royal Highness smiled and said, "All the court officials are the emperor's people, but the Minister of Personnel is biased towards me between me and the Fifth Prince.

Besides, do you really think that Lao Wu has no one in the Ministry of Personnel?"

Yang Qi let go of his hand and walked in front of His Highness: "Your Highness, don't tell Xiao Qi that you have no ability to stop this?" As long as His Highness wants, Song Hongwen will never be promoted in this life.

It is obvious that Song Hongwen is the Fifth Prince's man. Promoting him will not benefit Your Highness in any way.

Looking at the girl who was rarely angry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince patiently pulled Xiao Qi to sit aside and personally poured a cup of tea: "This is the best pre-rain Longjing tea, you try it."

In fact, Yang Qi regretted it as soon as he finished speaking. With such a loud voice, was he going to lose his temper with the Crown Prince?

Song Yangqi, Song Yangqi, you are so amazing. Now you even dare to glare at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took the initiative to build a ladder for me, otherwise I would be in a difficult situation now.

With His Highness' ladder, Yang Qi climbed down and tasted a cup of tea: "The tea has a long-lasting fragrance and bright color. It is really a good tea."

Seeing that the girl quickly regained her senses, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's smile faded a little: "No need to pretend in front of me." Over the years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very familiar with the girl's personality.

Yang Qi pursed her lips and said, "Your Highness, please tell Xiao Qi why you are facilitating Song Hongwen's promotion this time?"

After saying that, Yang Qiyi poured a cup of tea for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and brought it to him very obediently.

"Didn't you tell me the reason?" Taking the teacup from the maid, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince drank it all.

Then, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince played with the teacup in his hand for a while, and put away his smile: "Song Hongwen's current official position is too low. I'm afraid you will be wronged when you marry into the royal family in the future."

Hearing His Highness' words, Yang Qi's heart seemed to skip a beat and all the blood in her body rushed to her head.

Your Highness, what are you talking about?

These words from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unveiled the fact that Yang Qi had been deliberately ignoring.

If you really ask yourself whether you are looking forward to marrying His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, deep down in my heart I am sure that I am.

When I heard the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Bai Yuxin were about to get married, the pain in my heart was real.

But Yang Qi always avoided the question of the future between herself and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Today, His Highness said this, was he telling me that he has been paving the way for their future?

Looking at the girl's red cheeks, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince poured her a cup of tea and said with a smile: "This tea is really good, don't waste it."

Yang Qi knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was teasing her, so she silently took the cup from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and took a sip.

It is indeed good tea, but there is no bad thing around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"We returned to the capital before dinner today. Have you had dinner?" Xiaoyu Manor is not very close to the capital, and the girl might not have had dinner yet.

Yang Qi touched her belly and shook her head: "I haven't had dinner yet. Today, the Duke's Mansion sent someone to pick me up and take me back home. So, I found a way to postpone it to tomorrow. Xiao Qi came to look for His Highness immediately."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince raised his head and said to the outside, "Prepare some hot food and send it to Sixi Courtyard immediately."

Then, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince instructed the maid beside him: "If you are hungry in the future, just give the order directly."

Yang Qi nodded: "Someone has come to ask Xiao Qi today, but Xiao Qi wants to wait for His Highness to come back and have dinner together."

With his head supported by one hand, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked at the girl and said, "I always go back to the East Palace at different times, so you don't have to wait for me next time.

Let’s talk about you.

What's wrong now? You're going back to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow, and you're feeling unsure? Are you nervous?"

The girl has always been a bold and resolute person, and her current behavior makes Yuan Ruiyuan a little curious.

"I'm not really nervous. It's probably because Xiaoqi is greedy for beauty and a little unwilling to go back and fight with others." Although Yangqi's life has been full of twists and turns these days, she can see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince every day when she opens her eyes. This is indeed a rare happy time for her in all these years.

In the past two days, Yang Qi thought carefully about why she fell in love with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Qi listed many possibilities. The first was that he had been relying on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince since he was a child, and he planned to use the power of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to punish the Fifth Prince and the Nian family. The second was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was handsome, suave, and possessed the hard conditions that girls would appreciate and like.

However, these conditions do not seem to be the most fundamental reasons.

A book once said: "I don't know where love comes from, but it is deep and lasting." If this is true, it seems that matters of the heart, unlike other things, are often hard to grasp and understand.

"Although An has some schemes, they are too superficial and one-sided; Yin Yi Niang is a little clever, but only limited to her own little world. On the contrary, Song Yanglan has a deep mind.

Apart from her, there is nothing to be afraid of other people in the Duke's Mansion."

Yuan Ruiyuan was already very familiar with the officials in the capital, and because of the presence of the maid, he knew all the affairs of the Duke of Song's Mansion like the back of his hand.

Yang Qi looked at the Crown Prince talking and couldn't suppress the joy in his heart.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so concerned about the affairs of the Duke of Song's Mansion. What other reason could there be other than that he cares about himself?

As for most of the important officials' residences, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have only remembered and understood the officials' information. He might have remembered the information of some mistresses, but he must have been a very small minority who could know the personalities and behaviors of concubines so well.
