Dress up as a sickly person to capture the villain princess!

"Then according to what you said, brother, now we can only follow His Majesty's wishes and see what your daughter will decide."

The other person's face didn't change much, his expression was still serious. But he also looked at Xia Yizhi and stretched out his weathered hand, which had many calluses from holding the brush for many years.

Patted Xia Yizi on the shoulder.

"I see that His Highness seems to like Zhiyuan very much. Since he has been chosen by His Highness to be his study companion, I think that even if I miss out on such a good marriage as the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, I will not have to worry about the future."

"Yizhi, you don't have to worry so much."

Xia Yizi felt depressed, but he also knew that his two good friends were here to accompany him out of kindness. It was not easy to have someone close to him to talk to.

In today's officialdom, people's hearts are hidden and serving the emperor is like serving a tiger.

"I know what you are talking about... But if it is really His Highness who succeeds to the throne, I am afraid you and I will not be at peace."

He was speaking sarcastically.

Only classmates of many years can understand the hidden meaning.

Quite on the contrary, Xia Yizi was worried that Her Royal Highness the Princess might only be a hollow crown prince of Daliang. Countless people were eyeing the emperor's throne, from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the remote border areas to those with ulterior motives in the court.

By then, countless evil spirits will rise up in rebellion.

Without the old emperor's protection, can Your Highness still be as high-spirited and free as he is now?

The answer is still unknown. As a woman, even if she really gets the throne, she may not be able to do anything great.

No matter who owns this world, as long as they act carefully, they will still be subjects.

But if Zhiyuan becomes the princess's companion, the new emperor will certainly purge the Xia family when he ascends the throne, leaving no one alive.

This is what he is most worried about at the moment and it is a major concern in his mind.

"Yizhi... In my opinion, if you are really worried, you should find a reason to call your daughter over and give her a good lecture. Maybe she will listen."

The other person continued to pick up his chopsticks, and finally picked up the piece of tender lamb that he had been craving for for a long time, put it in his mouth, and devoured it with relish.

"Well, this is the only solution for now."

"Today, I have delayed your eating and drinking. I will definitely accompany you to the best restaurant in Jinzhou City some other day. You can eat and drink whatever you like. I will do what I say!"

He held up his wine cup with both hands, toasted the two people at the table, and drank it all in one gulp.

……

Today is the official day for hunting. Princes and nobles who were a step behind have already arrived at the hunting grounds one after another, including the much-anticipated King Wen.

He was the fourteenth son of the late emperor. Unfortunately, his mother was a palace maid, so he was rejected by the late emperor since the day he was born.

As if things were not bad enough, he was not adopted by any concubine with a family background. In the end, he lived long enough to see the emperor ascend the throne. According to the law, he was given a small piece of land.

From then on, he left this continent and took up his post.

But this is a small frontier place with poor mountains and rivers, poor people, and very little oil and water. It can't compare with the carefree life in the palace before.

Even though he was an unpopular prince in the palace, he was still the emperor's son and the bloodline of the royal family.

No matter what, he must be given some face in the harem and the court.

"Your Highness, Prince Wen, I am sorry for not coming to greet you in person."

At this time, several generals surrounded him. They had just arrived. After receiving the imperial edict, they immediately handed over the matters at hand to their subordinates and rode as fast as they could. Fortunately, they did not miss the official day.

"Lao Li, Lao Zhou, why are you being so polite to Xiao Wang? When our father was still alive, we drank together a lot. Now you are going through all this red tape, which makes you look down on Xiao Wang."

Be respectful to the wise and humble.

This was a habit that King Wen had developed over the years. It was because of his humble attitude for more than forty years that his brother spared his life during the fight for the throne.

He stretched out his palm and patted the soft armor of several people with a gentle smile on his face. Although he was only forty years old, his face was already full of wrinkles.

But compared to these warriors who are exposed to the wind and sun, they are quite sleek and smooth.

"Alas, Your Highness Prince Wen is too polite. We were all young and ignorant. Now that we are all fathers, we naturally need to be more mature and stable."

Several military officers who had been away for many years were naturally happy to see their old friends, as if they had returned to the time when they were young and carefree, riding tall horses, holding a pot of good wine in their hands, and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the continent in one day.

However, they have served in the imperial court for many years and know that the current emperor has been suspicious since childhood. Even if they are greeting each other politely, they cannot appear to have a very close relationship with King Wen, who is currently in the limelight.

Isn’t this because you think you have a long life?

"No, no, you haven't changed at all. Let's make it clear that after the hunt is over, I will go to my brother to ask for some leniency so that you and I can have a good reunion and not leave until we are drunk!"

"We haven't been to Jinzhou City for many years."

King Wen did not seem to be affected by the distant and polite manners of the military officers and still had a smile on his face.

At this time, the curtain of the carriage behind the crowd was lifted, and a bloated wet nurse slowly walked down holding a little fat boy in gorgeous clothes.

"Come, Your Highness, say hello to all the uncles and aunts."

This chubby little boy caught the eyes of all the military officers and they naturally made up their minds that this must be the youngest son of King Wen, the popular candidate for the position of crown prince.

"Uncle... uncles... hello."

The prince was in his teens and this was his first time in Jinzhou, so naturally he was curious about everything. However, he had been severely warned by his father before he came.

Jinzhou is not like their fiefdom. They cannot do whatever they want. They have to be polite and say hello to everyone they meet.

……

Xia Zhiyuan, who was far away, saw the whole scene. He held a soft peach in his hand, took a bite, and the peach juice filled his mouth.

Mm-hmm~ As sweet as His Highness.

"Hello, hello, hello, system, please respond if you hear me. Although I can't hear what they are saying, but... judging from the reactions of this group of people, the chubby boy in the distance should be the Prince of Wen, right?"

"Dear host, congratulations on your correct answer. This system has scanned and confirmed that it is correct."

All the ladies at her table are noble ladies in Jinzhou City. Now they are idle and are playing mahjong with beautiful nail polish on their hands.

There was a back and forth fight between them.

He paid no attention to the military officers who had just arrived in the distance.

Xia Zhiyuan perked up, narrowed his eyes, and looked carefully at the Prince of Wen. He was afraid that he had made a mistake just now, but now that the system had confirmed it, the Prince of Wen, who played a prominent role in the original novel, also appeared.

They are all your Highness' enemies.
