"It's very possible, but I don't know who sent someone to kill Miao Bingwen."

"Then we should pay more attention to the movements of the first and third princes in the next few days."

"I will arrange this matter. What do you want from me?" The eldest prince asked about the reason why Shangguan Ziqi came to see him.

Next, the two of them talked for an hour, sharing some of the information they knew, including the fact that the prince had found out that the third prince was colluding with someone.

——

㟧Prince's Palace.

Prince Cao Jinrui was also having a private conversation with one of his aides, Mr. Zhuang, in the study about the murder of Miao Bingwen.

Cao Jinrui was already eleven years old.

He has the image of a gentle and elegant scholar. He doesn't like to practice martial arts, but only likes to write.

He is good at both calligraphy and painting.

He has a very high profile among the literati and often attends various poetry gatherings and painting seminars in Beijing.

Sometimes a few paintings are "accidentally" leaked out and bought by people at high prices for collection.

But because his maternal grandfather passed away early, his two uncles were far behind him in terms of knowledge and have not yet been promoted to high positions.

Of course, there was also deliberate suppression from the emperor.

The Grand Tutor was the Emperor’s mentor when he was young.

If a person has a high status, his descendants will also be of high status, and his daughter will enter the palace as a concubine and give birth to a prince. This will be a future trouble.

"Mr. Zhuang, this prince trusts you the most. Do you have any evidence in that incident?"

Mr. Zhuang was one of his grandfather's early students.

But he was implicated and exiled to a foreign land. He was a talented person. After the prince left the palace, he found him who had returned home from exile after serving his sentence and invited him to join the palace as his staff.

This person was also recommended to him by Concubine Yun.

This man lived in exile for five years and never died, which shows how strong his character was.

"Your Highness, I am confused. The two students we found will at most be ranked in the top 100, which is neither high nor low, and will not attract too much attention.

But one of them ranked fifth. I don't know what went wrong. This is a bit troublesome. Once he enters the palace, he will be exposed in the palace examination. Please think of a solution quickly, Your Highness."

The prince was also very anxious about this matter.

He had no money, and in order to save money to build his own network and gain more support for himself, he had to take risks and cooperate with two sons of wealthy businessmen, promising them a future.

The two sons of wealthy businessmen were reasonably well educated, but their chances of passing the imperial examinations depended on luck.

The Wei Dynasty was relatively tolerant towards merchants. As long as they donated a certain amount of silver to the national treasury, their family members would be allowed to take part in the imperial examinations, giving them the opportunity to change their family fortune.

Mr. Zhuang chose these two people as his partners.

The prince hesitated for a long time and finally made up his mind.

"Mr. Zhuang, we can only..." The third prince made a cutting gesture.

"But the fifth place is already famous and might attract attention."

"I can't care about so many things now. The two students who exchanged the test papers with me have been dealt with together. Once the emperor investigates thoroughly, my future will be ruined." The prince can only silence them to prevent future troubles.

Mr. Zhuang couldn't think of a better way at the moment. Time was running out and he had to act quickly.

"I'll arrange it right away." Mr. Zhuang accepted the order.

"Their deaths must not be discovered." The prince warned again.

"yes."

——

After Yu Yuanzheng knew the intentions of his subordinates, he locked the men in the study room in the outer courtyard the next day.

"You people have followed me since I married into the palace.

Time flies. Five years have passed and you are no longer young. It’s time for you to get married.

Tell me, what do you think? I am very open-minded. "Yu Yuanzheng said with a smile.

"Princess Zi, I have worked for you and saved a lot of betrothal gifts, almost eight thousand taels of silver. So I ask you to marry Miss Ziyue." Chunlei is their captain and the oldest. He is just waiting for his master to speak.

"Princess Yu Zi, I have saved up more than 7,000 taels of betrothal gifts and would like to marry Miss Jiang Hua." Qiu Feng smiled foolishly.

"Princess, we have actually saved up quite a bit of betrothal gifts. I would like to marry Miss Xiaoqin." Xia Yu also said generously.

Then one by one they asked to marry Yu Yuanzheng's maid.

The two of them were grinning foolishly in the same way.

Yu Yuanzheng saw that the young men showed their true natures one by one.

"Well, I will tell the girls tonight that if they have no objection, I will hold a unique nude wedding for you in the palace." Yu Yuanzheng announced proudly.

"What are you so happy about?" At this time, Shangguan Ziqi's voice sounded at the door.

"They all want to get married, so they are all very happy." Yu Yuanzheng stood up and took two steps forward.

"Oh? That's really a big deal. But, Madam, Qingfeng and the other three are still nowhere to be found." Shangguan Ziqi walked over and hugged his wife gently.

"Greetings, Princess Yu Zi, we are also grown up like Chunlei and the others." Mingyue stepped forward with a smile and bowed.

Qingfeng and the other three seldom followed Yu Yuanzheng, so they really thought less about them.

Just ignore the four of them this time.

"Do you have any girls you like? I can be your matchmaker." Yu Yuanzheng felt that in this kind of situation, the best thing was for both parties to be attracted to each other.

"We basically just follow the guys, so how many chances do we have to see girls?" Qingfeng shrugged.

In the past, the maids who served the concubine all focused their attention on the concubine and never paid any attention to the guards.

Everyone wants to be in the wife's room.

"Mm, I'll make note of this." Yu Yuanzheng agreed readily.

She already has a choice.

There are a few old ladies in the mother's courtyard. You can ask them what they think.

"Thank you, Princess Yuzi." After hearing this, Qingfeng and the other three thanked her in unison.

This matter should be done as soon as it is said.

Yu Yuanzheng and Shangguan Ziqi went to the main courtyard together.

"Brother, sister-in-law." When the little princess saw the couple, she jumped up to them.

Now that the three treasures have gone to the Jin family for classes, she has no playmates and seems a little lonely.

But the princess was reluctant to send her to the clan school at such a young age, and said that she should not be sent there until she was at least five years old.

Yu Yuanzheng also praised it, saying that the youngest person went there when he was seven years old.

Shangguan Ziqi picked the person up.

"What is mother doing?"

"We are arranging lunch."

"Has the King come back?"

"Not yet, Prince!" The little princess had just said no when she looked over Shangguan Ziqi's shoulder and saw the prince arriving at the gate of the courtyard.

The two men turned around.

"Greetings, King."

"Yes. Mengyao, come here, let the prince hold the girl." The prince took the little girl from his son's hands.

Ever since Yu Chaoyang moved out of the palace, they were the only family living in the palace, so they basically had three meals a day together in the main courtyard.

There are four adults and four children, and every day is very lively.

Now the three treasures don’t eat at the Wang Mansion at noon, but eat at the Jin Mansion before coming back.

After teaching Master Jin, it was a little late to take him back to the palace for dinner.

After dinner.

Yu Yuanzheng's eyes moved back and forth between the four maids Qiuyue, Qiuhe, Qiuxiang and Qiuye.

The maids looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Princess Ou Zi, is there something wrong?" Qiuyue was bolder and asked directly.

"Mother, your four personal maids haven't been engaged yet, right?" Yu Yuanzheng asked about their marriages in front of the four of them.

This caused several maids to blush.
