After touching her, he regretted it. He glared at Zhao Shu and apologized to Emperor Mingde, saying, "Your Majesty, everything I said is true. I am innocent."

"Alright, Uncle, are you still arguing with a child?" he said impatiently. Prince Hui was so angry that his face turned a deep purplish-red. He was already fifteen! And he was still a child! He was about to come of age!

Having not seen him for several years, Emperor Mingde's temper had grown worse. Zhao Shu listened silently, not missing any opportunity to stir up trouble.

"The teacher said that elders should set a good example for younger generations, so that they won't be like a crooked beam leading to a crooked one. Uncle lied first and then denied it, so this kind of example is not worth following." After she finished speaking, she smiled at Prince Hui and irresponsibly changed the subject, "Uncle, A-Jun has taken Mr. Luo, one of the Four Princes, as his teacher. Isn't A-Jun amazing? Please praise him!"

"Lower-A-Jun."

Emperor Mingde smiled and said indulgently, "Yes, A-Jun is the most capable. Can your teacher come to the capital with you?"

"Of course we're going to the capital. Tomorrow, Ah Jun will bring Teacher to the palace to pay his respects." In recent years, Luo Hu has mostly been traveling and has not participated in the factional struggles during his journey to the capital.

After the Crown Prince's leg injury healed, he also used the excuse of studying to avoid participating in court affairs. By not participating in court affairs, others could not find fault with him, and naturally, they could not get Emperor Mingde to depose him.

The Empress has become increasingly secluded, no longer vying for favor, and has retreated to the Phoenix Palace. Currently, Consort Hao, Consort De, and Consort Ning hold the most power.

After entering the city and escorting the Empress Dowager back to Cining Palace, everyone paid their respects again. The Empress Dowager then excused herself as tired, and everyone dispersed. Zhao Shu and Prince Yong naturally also left the palace and returned to the new Prince Yong's residence.

The new Prince Yong's Mansion is adjacent to the residences of other prominent families, making it even more tranquil and elegant. It is also much larger in size. Not only was the original Prince Yong's Mansion built according to its layout, but it is also more magnificent and luxurious on this basis.

Zhang Liu had been stationed in the capital. Before the new Yongwang Mansion was completed, he stayed in the old mansion. Now he has long since moved to the new mansion and is managing it very well.

The father and daughter arrived at the gate of the mansion. Zhang Liu, with about ten men, waited respectfully in front of the large stone lion. "Greetings to Your Highness and Princess. Your subordinates respectfully welcome Your Highness and Princess back to the mansion." His voice was excited, and his face was flushed. The Prince and Princess had finally returned. Over the years, he had only heard about his brothers' grueling training in Guanzhou and had been filled with envy. He had heard that many of his brothers had followed General Peng or General Wei.

There are two legends in the army. One is the General of the Chariots and Cavalry of the Weiting Division, and the other is the Junior General of the Pengcheng Army. One trained a million soldiers in five years, which is an exaggeration, but he sincerely admits that it is a million. The other is Junior General Peng, who built a special forces unit in five years, which can be called a sharp blade. He really wants to follow these two generals and sweat it out on the training ground.

Looking at the new palace, which was about 80% similar to the old palace, Zhao Shu smiled knowingly. Ten prefectures had brought her a good reputation, unparalleled imperial favor, and some leniency from the emperor. It was worth it.

"Father, let's go inside."
