...

Chen Wei still temporarily lives in Luoyue Lake Villa, accompanying Princess Zhaoyang, who just broke up, to relax every day. Shen Wei went boating on the lake with the princess and tasted delicious food together, trying to soothe her wounded heart.

That night, Shen Wei took the pregnancy-maintaining medicine and lay back on the bed to rest.

Cai Ping lowered the bed curtains while muttering, "Master, there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. What the princess did that night may not reach the ears of the common people, but it will definitely reach the ears of the queen."

The guards in the villa were assigned to Zhaoyang by the Queen to protect Zhaoyang's safety.

Princess Zhaoyang had suddenly met with misfortune, and the Queen must have known about it.

Shen Wei yawned delicately and said slowly: "It's a good thing for me that the queen knows that Zhaoyang was attacked."

A look of confusion appeared on Caiping's pretty face.

Shen Wei smiled and said, "The Princess of Yan has made a mess of the management of the palace. The Queen has long been dissatisfied. If I can show my management skills appropriately, the Queen will train me."

In the current Prince Yan's Mansion, the wives are not like wives, the concubines are not like concubines, they are all rotten, and only Chen Wei can be used and cultivated.

Caiping suddenly understood.

Shen Wei's guess was correct. The disturbance in Luoyue Lake Villa had already spread to Kunning Palace. Yun'er lowered her head and knelt in the inner hall of Kunning Palace, telling the Queen everything about Luoyue Lake.

The Queen was distressed when she heard this: "That Yan Yunting is really unbearable! How dare he play tricks on my son like this!"

The Queen and the Emperor had long been dissatisfied with Yan Yunting. But Zhaoyang liked him and protected him everywhere, and the queen could do nothing about it.

Yun'er hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Madam. The princess has now gained enlightenment and has completely let go of Yan Yunting."

The queen breathed a sigh of relief. Although Zhaoyang was frightened after this catastrophe, he finally came to his senses.

The old nanny brought some herbal tea, and the queen took two sips to moisten her throat, then thought of the pregnant Shen Wei. The Queen asked, "Yun'er, did Shen really remain calm in the face of danger?"

Yun'er did not hide anything and told the queen everything about Chen Wei's calmness in the face of danger, her words full of praise.

The queen nodded repeatedly as she listened.

I didn't expect that a daughter of a small farmer would remain calm in the face of danger, arrange everything in an orderly manner, and take all aspects into consideration. It is really rare.

The Queen thought of the Princess of Yan who was giving her a headache. Although Tan Tai Shu Ya was the principal wife of the palace, she had no ability to manage the place. She was an unvirtuous wife and an unkind mother, and she made the palace a mess.

This Shen Wei has great management skills, takes good care of Zhaoyang, and has deep feelings for King Yan. When Prince Yan ascends the throne in the future, she will be able to manage the harem for him.

However, Shen Wei's family background is too low, and it will be difficult for her to win the support of the people when she manages the harem in the future.

After much deliberation, the queen decided to wait until Shen Wei gave birth to the child, and then find a way to improve Shen Wei's status.

The succession of imperial power is also a game between the new nobles and the old families. It is not a bad idea to raise Chen Wei's family and support them to become the new nobles of the court.

...

...

The remote city of Yunzhou.

As night fell, the temperature suddenly dropped and the cold night wind howled everywhere. Prince Yan was looking through documents in the study in his official residence. Incense was burning in the incense burner and cold air was leaking in through the window.

King Yan sneezed.

Seeing this, the young eunuch who was serving nearby hurriedly tiptoed out of the study. After a while, the young eunuch brought in a thick robe and said respectfully, "My Lord, it's cold tonight. Would you mind letting me change your clothes for you to keep warm?"

Prince Yan put down the file and his eyes fell on the dark cotton coat with silver patterns. As a grown man, the Prince of Yan naturally wouldn't worry about what clothes to carry when he goes out.

It is usually handled by the princess, the mistress of the household.

Prince Yan asked casually, "Did the princess prepare this?"

The young eunuch answered truthfully, "Your Highness, the princess has been very busy these days, and these clothes were prepared by Master Shen of Liuli Pavilion. I heard from Cailian, the maid of Liuli Pavilion, that Master Shen specifically inquired about the climate of Yunzhou and was busy all night preparing warm clothes, cold medicine, mosquito repellent wormwood, and a change of boots. They are all in the carriage."

He changed into new cold-weather clothes. The young eunuch also brought ginger tea to keep out the cold and incense to repel mosquitoes and calm the nerves.

Although the weather in Yunzhou is cold, King Yan's heart is warm.

In the huge backyard of Prince Yan's Mansion, only his Weiwei would spend so much time and effort on the details.

After being away for a few days, Prince Yan held the file in his hand and suddenly missed Chen Wei. This was a feeling that King Yan had never experienced before. In the silent night, his longing slowly surged like a tide, eroding his thoughts bit by bit.

In the past few years, he had been away on business and had never missed her so delicately. Now that Chen Wei is in the palace, Prince Yan is like a kite in the sky that has a controller. He has a home.

The tiger guard who was out on an investigation walked into the study and handed over a letter with a special seal.

The Tiger Guard saluted and said, "Your Highness, Dr. Mo has been taken away by the State Master of Yue. Before he left, he left this letter."

King Yan opened the letter and read it quickly.

The King of Yan narrowed his eyes, with a sharp coldness in his eyes: "This Yue Kingdom is not unbreakable. The Emperor of Yue is cruel and warlike, and the people are suffering."

The two countries of Khanh and Vietnam have been at war for many years, with border battles breaking out frequently. The State of Qing was originally at a disadvantage. Fortunately, the military advisor of Shangguan Xuan, Marquis of Zhennan, designed the musket. The army of Qing achieved many great feats with the help of the musket, and its combat effectiveness increased significantly.

However, the State of Yue was unwilling to withdraw its troops and relied on its geographical advantage to fight and defend. If we want to stop the war completely, we can only replace the emperor of Yue with one who advocates peace.

The King of Yan cooperated with an ambitious prince of the State of Yue and the imperial teacher to plot a grand plan. However, when King Yan looked at the last few lines of the envelope, he was puzzled.

The prince of Yue who had just returned actually expressed that he wanted to marry Zhaoyang as his wife after the matter was accomplished.

"Tuoba Hongchuan wants to marry Zhaoyang?" Prince Yan raised his eyebrows.

After a long time, King Yan laughed silently.

He placed the letter onto the red candle flame, and it quickly turned into black ash.
