The words "become a prince consort" made Jin Xuhe very excited.

Then he thought about it and murmured, "One of the prince consorts..."

Think about those clones...

He wasn't a fool, and immediately thought of the last time they'd held a meeting in the secret room of the palace to plot the Sixth Prince's ascension to the throne. Who had been involved then?

As a businessman, he had a remarkable knack for remembering people. This was his first time entering the palace, and he was apprehensive. The presence of the dignitaries around him made an even deeper impression.

He remembered the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard Si Youhong, the prince Jiang Yutang, the Ye family's guard Ye Xiao, and of course his good friend Bai Muchen, a genius doctor.

"Have they all been taken in by you?" He looked puzzled, and spoke of the person he was thinking of. Sure enough, Yan Miaoling replied in the affirmative. And that's not all. She took his arm and added, "There's also your sanctimonious friend, Prince Xuanyuan Mingchen, the leader of the martial arts world, Lan Shang, and our national teacher, Nanjia..." Chi Ao didn't think it was a big deal, but she didn't mention it.

When Jin Xuhe heard Xuanyuan Mingchen's words, he wasn't shocked at all. Instead, he felt a sense of sudden enlightenment. No wonder, a man so powerful would allow a woman to reject his engagement.

But when he heard the word Nanjia, Jin Xuhe felt unwell.

He even stood up and stared at Yan Miaoling.

Even when he left the space to do something, he still accepted his incompetence. How could it be, how could it be possible! !

That person's reputation, that person's practice, that person's transcendence...

That's a human being.

He was not short of money and often burned incense, prayed to Buddha, and donated money to temples. He had certainly seen Nanga before. But he felt that man was not an ordinary person at all. How could it be...

Yan Miaoling knew that he needed time to accept it.

But she didn't care about the outcome at all.

As expected, when she took him out to dinner that evening, Jin Xuhe finally accepted. He took her hand and said, "Since you're interested in the throne, you don't need to put the title of good man on me anymore. I'll pay for your publicity."

Yan Miaoling held his hand in return and smiled, "That's really wise!"

She had become the lively and cunning girl that Jin Xuhe knew. This was the girl he knew well. Jin Xuhe stared at Yan Miaoling without blinking. Then, Yan Miaoling broke down and exerted force.

He was unstable and was pulled forward...

He lowered his eyes and met her inviting gaze.

A large hand touched her back and clasped it. Then, the candlelight glued their shadows together...

People are different.

Jin Xuhe appears to be a playful and passionate man, but in reality he's a bit reserved in his relationships. Yan Miaoling, on the other hand, appears to be taking the initiative. But she's not in a rush, as there's still time to go.

The two of them were in love and things were getting better and better. After a month, a third party came.

He is the newly sent governor by the court.

The title of Governor also sounded like someone who was patrolling on behalf of the Emperor, but everyone felt that it was much more formal than the title of Princess Yan Miaoling's special envoy. Generally speaking, Governors were officials of the first or second rank who were temporarily promoted by the Emperor.

He would specifically visit a certain region, such as a few provincial capitals, to experience the local customs and practices, assess the performance of local officials, etc. Of course, if he encountered a problem that the local government couldn't solve, he also had the power to intervene and provide assistance.

The main task of the governor who came this time was to solve the problems of the Nancha city dike and town official roads.

After arriving, he first found the highest-class inn in the city where Yan Miaoling was staying, and came to pay a special visit to the princess and to do the "work handover" by the way.

I've seen a lot of officials lately, all kinds of them. This kind of scene wasn't a big deal to Yan Miaoling. As usual, she dressed elegantly, walked out with a swaying figure, and sat at the head of the table, waiting for the visitors to come in.

But after she met the person, she was no longer calm, and was even surprised, "Brother Peiyi! It's you?" In the original book, there was no mention that Feng Peiyi had experience in working at the grassroots level after he became the prime minister of the cabinet.

So, she hadn't connected it to him at all before.

Feng Peiyi was dressed in a red official robe, looking very noble. In addition, he was good-looking, and he had both the authority of an official and the transcendent air of Lanzhi.

He bowed and said, "Your humble servant pays respects to Princess Deyan." Although he said this, his eyes slightly glanced toward the door. It was obvious that he was hinting to Yan Miaoling that someone was watching outside, so etiquette must be upheld.

Yan Miaoling understood, and put away the surprise on her face. She also put on the posture of a princess and raised her hand, "Master Feng, you are welcome. Please stand up."

Next, the two of them dismissed everyone and gave the time to their sworn brothers and sisters, as well as their senior and junior brothers and sisters!

"Brother Peiyi, please sit down. Why did you come here suddenly? Why didn't you release any news?" Yan Miaoling looked at him sideways.

Without the outsiders around, Feng Peiyi relaxed a lot, finally revealing her true nature. She stretched out her beautiful fingers to pour herself a cup of tea, "You little girl, my senior brother is so exhausted, why don't you pour me a glass of water first? You're chattering as soon as we meet. Where did you learn the rules and etiquette..."

The words were blaming, but the smile and doting on his face that he couldn't hide made it clear that he didn't care at all and was just joking.

The two of them updated each other's recent situation and had a good chat with each other.

Feng Peiyi explained the reason for his visit, "Although I, your brother, have read a lot of books and have been slowly learning how to manage affairs in the cabinet, there's a saying that reading a thousand books is not as good as traveling a thousand miles. Without the practical experience gained at the grassroots level, I always feel powerless when encountering difficult situations. In addition, the easy position of Prime Minister has caused many criticisms from the veteran ministers. So I thought of finding an opportunity to gain experience outside. But I just couldn't find a suitable excuse. It just so happened that your memorial arrived, and the emperor, in his dilemma, asked me to discuss it, so I took the opportunity to propose to handle the matter personally. You see, I can improve myself and help you at the same time, isn't it the best of both worlds?!"
