Emperor Xuande nodded in agreement and issued an imperial edict announcing the annulment of the engagement. Fukang also plundered a lot of valuable items from the Marquis of Chang'an. Although he didn't know how to use those items, they still amounted to a considerable sum of money.

Emperor Xuande recalled that when he first became emperor, he was beset by internal and external troubles and wished he could split a piece of silver in half.

He was beset by northern barbarians, his own palace was empty, and his officials were incompetent, constantly advocating for ceding territory to end the war, which gave him a major headache.

Xiao Qi stood to the side, overjoyed. Even his father, the Emperor, praised Jiang Wei highly. Therefore, his idea of ​​taking Jiang Wei as his concubine was absolutely correct.

He was eager to try, as if Jiang Wei was already his.

“Father, I am quite familiar with the capital city. Let me take care of settling the people!” Xiao Qi hurriedly volunteered.

If he handles this matter well, he will add another achievement to his political record.

Moreover, she was able to showcase her talents through official duties, and it wouldn't be easy for Jiang Wei to fall for her and take her as a concubine.

That's killing two birds with one stone.

When Emperor Xuande saw that Xiao Qi had volunteered, he entrusted Xiao Qi with the task of settling the people.

Xiao Zhan gave him a meaningful look.

"If Father has nothing else, I will take my leave." Xiao Zhan did not linger.

The Xuande Emperor waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.

The two men finally lined up in front of Chen Shiyu's large pot, and Chen Shiyu served each of them a bowl of porridge.

The two men thanked him profusely as they brought him the porridge, but in reality, they were secretly glancing at Chen Shiyu and observing Jiang Wei.

When Chen Shiyu looked at them, they smiled and thanked him, saying some nice things.

The two gradually moved away from the crowd, throwing their bowls of porridge aside, spilling porridge everywhere. "It's her, exactly like the one in our portrait."

Another chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes, exactly the same! Let's tie her up and take her up the mountain to be our bandit queen. That way, we can become the grandson-in-law of the richest man and have endless money."

“Big Brother doesn’t get close to women, so let’s just kidnap her and have the money delivered,” the man called Second Brother replied, feeling that Jiang Wei was no different from any other woman.

Don't women already exist for him?

“Eldest brother is not interested in women, but we still have second brother. Tie her up and make her your wife. Second brother, look at her slender waist, you could break it with one hand. Her face is also absolutely beautiful, much prettier than the Prime Minister’s daughter.”

The man with the scar on his eyebrow leered at Jiang Wei.
