After the third prince and the second prince separated, they went straight to the imperial study.
The emperor knew that the third prince was summoned into the palace by Concubine De today. Looking at him bowing, he wondered why he came.
Could it be that he is asking me to grant him a marriage?
The Marquis of Qingyuan must be jumping up and down. Just thinking about it makes me happy.
"Get up, what do you want from me?"
[The tyrant must have thought of something interesting, so why is he secretly happy?]
The emperor pressed the corners of his mouth.
"Thank you, Father. I just met Lord Qin."
The third prince recounted the whole story and looked up at Yu Yiluo, whose eyes were shining brightly.
"This matter cannot be delayed. I intend to take Luo'er out of the palace to find Marquis Qingyuan. Marquis Qingyuan will ask Mu Chen to bring her back."
[It's no wonder Third Brother is so clever. He's saved Lord Qin a lot of trouble.]
Most importantly, he knew I loved going out for a stroll, and he didn't forget to take me with him. No wonder I was wondering why the weather was so nice today. It turns out I can go out for some fresh air.
emperor:"……"
The third prince's brows relaxed, the weather outside was indeed nice.
"Take it with you."
Thinking that Luo'er had indeed been bored for quite some time, the emperor handed her over to the third prince and waved his hand to let him leave.
Yesterday, the Second Prince tricked the Third Prince, and the Third Prince must have tricked him back. I wanted to see the Second Prince being chased and beaten by the Marquis of Qingyuan, but unfortunately, he couldn't leave the palace.
The third prince carried the little one who was chattering in his heart out of the palace, got on a carriage and headed straight for the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion.
Marquis Qingyuan looked at the third prince coming back and felt a little confused.
It wasn't long since he left, how come he's back again?
His eyes fell on Yu Yiluo's fair little face. The little girl stared back at him with a pair of big black eyes. They looked at each other for a while, and the little girl suddenly laughed.
The curved eyebrows and eyes look so cute that even a grown man like him can't help but want to pinch the little guy's cute face.
No wonder the emperor treasures it like the apple of his eye all day long.
"What's the matter with the Third Prince coming back?"
Seeing him look away, Yu Yiluo stopped looking at him and raised her little hands to play with the Third Prince's black hair.
[I'm here to save your mansion, so you don't get caught up in a fire in your backyard.]
Although Xu Xiaoxiao has good character, one must be wary of her. After all, everyone has a dark side.
The Third Prince got straight to the point and asked, "Madam Mu came to see the Marquis today. Did she ask the Marquis to persuade Master Mu to bring his wife back?"
Qingyuan Hou paused holding the tea and his expression immediately became serious.
"But what happened?"
"Lord Qin has sent someone to watch Concubine Shu. These past two days, Concubine Shu has been close to a woman. What a coincidence! This woman is none other than Master Mu's wife."
Marquis Qingyuan was not stupid. He instantly understood the meaning of the third prince's words and stood up.
"I'm going to find Mu Chen now and ask him to bring the person back."
He had originally planned to go there tomorrow, but now it seems there is no time to delay.
"My carriage is outside. Please come with me, my Lord."
Marquis Qingyuan looked at the sky outside and did not refuse.
The carriage was big enough for two people to sit inside without feeling crowded.
"Zi Yang, go to the Hanlin Academy."
"Okay, Your Highness."
There was silence in the carriage, and only the sound of the wheels turning could be heard.
Yu Yiluo wondered why Concubine Shu approached Xu Xiaoxiao.
Seeing that she had also quieted down, the Third Prince lowered his eyes and looked at her, feeling a little uncomfortable.
[The Tyrant will have his first assessment in a few days. Is Concubine Shu planning to start here?]
[Apart from this, there's only the love-hate relationship between the three of them. There's nothing much to stir up, right?]
While he was thinking, the carriage slowly stopped. After getting off the carriage, the third prince held Yu Yiluo and entered the Hanlin Academy with the Marquis of Qingyuan.
It was already time to go off duty, but there were still many people busy in the Hanlin Academy.
"Greetings to the Third Prince, Lord Marquis, I wonder what brings you here?"
The Hanlin scholar was an old man with white hair and beard. He greeted the two of them with a smile when he saw them come in.
"Where is Editor Mu?"
"I'm busy with the assessments for the next few days, so I'll have someone take you there right away."
After saying this, the Hanlin scholar called a man over and told him to take the two of them over.
The two followed the visitor out of the house and walked towards the row of houses on the right.
"We're here. Editor Mu is busy inside."
"Thank you."
After saying this, Marquis Qingyuan walked in and immediately noticed Mu Chen who was busy working by the window.
He was so focused on the task at hand that he didn't notice the arrival of several people.
It was not until Qingyuan Hou walked in front of him that Mu Chen felt a shadow cast in front of him and raised his head.
"My Lord." He stood up in surprise, then noticed the Third Prince standing behind him and bowed, "Your Majesty, I greet the Third Prince."
"No need to be so polite. This is not the place to talk. Let's go somewhere else."
Knowing that the two of them must have something important to say, Mu Chen stood up and took them to a tea room.
After pouring tea for the two of them, Qingyuan Hou briefly recounted the whole story without waiting for Mu Chen to speak.
Mu Chen was a smart man. After hearing this, he immediately understood the seriousness of the situation. He frowned slightly and looked at the sky outside the window.
"It's getting late today, and tomorrow is a day off. I'll go get him tomorrow."
…
at the same time.
When Mrs. Du returned home, she waited in the main hall for Mr. Du to return from his post.
When Lord Du entered the room, he saw Mrs. Du looking very worried, and he approached her with confusion.
"What's wrong, ma'am?"
"Master is back," Madam Du handed him the tea in her hand and said with a smile, "Today, the Empress Defei asked me to come to the palace to talk."
"Empress Defei?" Lord Du frowned, took a sip of tea and put it down. After a while, he said, "Because of Yan'er?"
Madam Du chuckled, "Master, you know what I mean. What do you think?"
"I'm not blind," Lord Du snorted coldly. Last time, the Second Prince had clearly deliberately brought Yan'er back home. He turned his face away and said, "It's nothing."
"Master," Madam Du stared at him, her tone gentle, "Do you want Yan'er to follow in Yiyi's footsteps? Yan'er is attracted to the Second Prince, we can see it, she didn't say it to avoid embarrassing us."
"Do we really have to pretend not to see even though we know our children like it?"
"Master, you can pretend not to see it, but I can't."
Seeing that his wife seemed unhappy, Lord Du sighed.
"Madam, what are you talking about? I also hope Yan'er lives a good life, but is it really that easy to be a daughter-in-law of the royal family?"
Not to mention the prince, even the emperor had no choice. Which concubine in the palace did the emperor marry voluntarily?
He didn't want his granddaughter to shed tears in the future, watching people enter the house one after another.
"Grandfather," Du Shuyan came out from behind the screen and said solemnly, "The Second Prince said he would only marry me, and I believe him."
If the second prince breaks his oath one day, she will accept it.
