After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

After the Fifth Prince took a nap, he woke up and saw Wei Ruxuan sitting beside the bed with her eyes red and swollen from crying.

He felt a little soft-hearted in an instant.

The previous promise could definitely not be given to Wei Ruxuan, but since she had followed him, it would not be good to let Wei Ruxuan suffer too much.

Anyway, what happened yesterday is over, so let others say whatever they want.

The two of them spent a long time washing up. The snow outside had stopped long ago. They had nothing to do, so they just lay in bed.

When Xiao Jiashan heard that his grandfather was coming to see him, he was so scared that he quickly got up from the bed.

Wei Ruxuan didn't understand: "You are a prince. No matter how high your grandfather's position is, he is still a minister. Why are you afraid of him?"

Xiao Jiashan said: "The old master is very strict and always loves to scold people. The Zheng family's children avoid him when they see him."

Wei Ruxuan snorted coldly: "In my opinion, Fifth Master has too good a temper, like a dough that can be manipulated. You are different from those people in the Zheng family. You are a prince and he is a minister. If you are tough, how dare he show off? A man must be strong, how can he let these ministers lead him by the nose."

Xiao Jiashan smiled, said nothing, put on his clothes quickly and went out.

As expected, he was scolded by Zheng Can, who implied that he should participate more in court affairs and stop having fun with concubines in the house all day.

Xiao Jiashan felt wronged: "My father doesn't like me. No matter how well I do, he won't admit it."

Hearing this, Zheng Can became even angrier: "You haven't done anything yet, how do you know the emperor won't recognize you? Although the emperor is the emperor, he cannot ignore the opinions of the ministers. If you work diligently, the ministers will speak well of you in front of the emperor."

This world belongs to the Xiao family, but it does not just belong to Emperor Jianxing alone.

As an emperor, can you do whatever you want and make your own decisions?

If the emperor could do whatever he wanted, he would not have made Xiao Jiashan's mother the queen.

Xiao Jiashan was full of dissatisfaction: "If you don't kill Xiao Chengji, I won't be able to make a name for myself. Do you understand that I am no worse than him in any way, I just lack the power he has? If you give me the same power, I can do better than him!"

There was some anxiety in Zheng Can's eyes, as he watched the power of Zhen and Yu provinces fall into the hands of Xiao Chengji's people. His side was gradually declining, and the Fifth Prince, whom he had wanted to support, was becoming less and less motivated.

Xiao Chengji has grown stronger. After getting married, he changed his previous arrogant and rebellious style. Not only did he remove the Zheng family's lurking nail in the Ministry of Justice for many years, he also wanted to get involved in the political affairs of Jiangnan.

Zheng Can said in a stern tone: "Don't stay in the palace. Find an excuse to go back to the capital and let the Queen Mother teach you a lesson. You are becoming more and more unruly."

Xiao Jiashan felt increasingly unconvinced.

Why?

He suddenly remembered what Wei Ruxuan had just said to him.

"You are a prince. No matter how high your grandfather's position is, he is still a minister. Why are you afraid of him?"

Yes, I am a prince, the emperor’s son.

Even if Zheng Can was his grandfather, he was still a subject no matter how high his official position was.

The Bo family also has an old man, who is Xiao Chengji’s maternal grandfather. Xiao Jiashan had met him a few years ago.

As a grandfather, the old man of the Bo family never dared to speak loudly in front of Xiao Chengji. Even when he was admonishing him, he would speak in a soft voice and never use a commanding tone like Zheng Can did.

Bo Feng was previously the governor of Yinan. Although his official position was lower than that of Zheng Shu, the prince of the Duke of Ying, it was not much worse.

Although Zheng Shu's uncle was quite kind to Xiao Jiashan, he always taught him how to do things in a subtle way. He was dissatisfied with him in many ways and did not treat him as a prince at all.

A few days ago, Xiao Jiashan saw Bo Feng and Xiao Chengji from afar.

In front of Xiao Chengji, Bo Feng had to kneel down in fear and trepidation. Not to mention teaching Xiao Chengji how to do things, Bo Feng, as his uncle, didn't even dare to breathe.

This is the correct attitude of the Bo family's subjects towards the royal family!

Xiao Jiashan looked at Zheng Can's wrinkled old face and couldn't help feeling disgusted.

No wonder people in the court and the country say that Zheng’s party is lawless. Now they are doing this in front of me. Will they continue to do this when I become emperor in the future?

"Old Master, please be careful with your words." Xiao Jiashan said, "I am a prince and you are a minister. Do I need you to teach me how to do things? The women who serve me understand this principle, so why don't you understand it?"

Zheng Can stood there in a daze.

After a long while, Zheng Can said in a hoarse voice: "This is all I have to say. Fifth Prince, please think about it carefully. I will take my leave now."

Xiao Jiashan felt relieved when he saw that Zheng Can really fell for it.

In the past, Xiao Jiashan only thought that Wei Ruxuan was likable in bed, but he didn't expect that Wei Ruxuan also had the ability to give advice.

If I had listened to Wei Ruxuan earlier, I wouldn't have been scolded by this old man for so many years.

Yan Yu didn't get out of bed until noon. After the maid helped her to wash and dress, she ate something. Yan Yu didn't have much appetite after just getting up, so she didn't eat much. In the afternoon, she lay on the bed and read a book for a while.

When Xiao Chengji came in from outside, he saw her leaning on the pillow. She was wearing a jade-colored dress and a shrimp-green coat around her shoulders. Her hair was not combed and was only tied with a ribbon.

The maid next to her was doing needlework. When she looked up and saw Xiao Chengji, she quickly stood up and greeted him.

Yan Yu almost fell asleep watching this, so he stood up and asked, "When will the snow outside melt?"

The sun came out today and half of the snow that fell yesterday has melted. It is really cold outside. It will probably all melt by tomorrow night and Yan Yu will be able to go back the day after tomorrow.

Xiao Chengji said: "We have to wait for two more days."

Yan Yu took off his fox fur coat and touched Xiao Chengji's hand.

After walking in the snow and ice, his hands were actually warmer than hers who were in the house.

At this time, the maid came in and said, "Princess, the Fifth Prince's Concubine Wei said that she was bored these days. It just so happened that she got a few new pieces of jewelry these days. She wanted to come over later to show them to you."

Yesterday, Wei Ruxuan wanted to show off in front of the princes, but the dinner ended hastily.

Yan Yu finally came, and she had to let Yan Yu see that she was as favored as she could be after marrying the Fifth Prince, and not the gloomy look she saw in front of the Queen.

Otherwise, Yan Yu might laugh at her in private, thinking that she was having a miserable life.

Yan Yu found it strange. She and Wei Ruxuan were not very familiar with each other. Wei Ruxuan was in the Queen's camp, and she was the Princess of Qin. The two sides had different positions. What was there to visit?

What's so good about these pieces of jewelry? Could it be that you want to give them to yourself?

Xiao Chengji said calmly: "No."

He didn't want Yan Yu and Wei Ruxuan to have any contact. When he thought about how he almost married Wei Ruxuan, Xiao Chengji felt a little uncomfortable.
