Fu Nanyao choked.
She envied the relationship between her brother and sister-in-law. If her brother could become the crown prince of Dajing in the future, then her sister-in-law would be the crown princess. She also envied such a status, so she wanted to become the crown princess of Beiqi.
Her sister-in-law is kind to her.
There are countless favors, big and small.
Take her legs and feet for example. It was because her sister-in-law cured them that she had the courage to become the Crown Princess of Beiqi.
Thinking of this, he said, "I am honored to meet Princess Man so well, but my brother and sister-in-law have a very close relationship. Princess Man might consider my other brothers. They are equally outstanding."
Gongsun Man didn't expect that the other party would not accept her initiative to show goodwill. Thinking that the other party probably didn't know her position in the emperor's heart, she smiled lightly.
He turned and said to Long Yi, "Your Majesty, when I first arrived in the capital, you said that I could choose from several princes. Now I have chosen one, and I ask you to grant me the marriage."
"Given Princess Man's status as a concubine, it's probably unfair for her to become Prince Rui's concubine. Since Princess Man admires Prince Rui so much, I think you can become his co-wife." Long Yi said with a smile.
"Concubine? Equal wife?" Gongsun Man was incredulous. "I just mentioned the grudge between the Yan family and you. Why didn't you separate Prince Rui and the Yan family girl?"
"If Princess Man takes a fancy to one of my other princes, I can make her his legal wife, but not Prince Rui."
Only Yan Funing can be the Princess of Rui.
Although this girl looks delicate, she is very opinionated.
But Wen Yu looked at her like the apple of his eye. If he interfered, the brat would probably fight him to death. He was a thorn in the flesh, and who knew who he inherited his stubborn temper from.
The brat refused to acknowledge him before, and if he did it again, he would definitely be mad at him.
Having finally ascended the throne, he wanted to sit on it for a while longer.
Gongsun Man was very puzzled: "Why?"
Long Yi said gently, "Princess Man has come from afar, so she naturally doesn't understand. It's okay for me to explain. The marriage between Prince Rui and Princess Rui was granted by my royal brother. He passed the throne to me, and I dare not disobey his will."
As the king of a country, how can I not violate the rules?
However, the excuse given by my royal brother is indeed very useful, so let's use it. I believe that if my royal brother is still in heaven, he would also hope that Wen Yu and Fu Ning will always be in love.
Putting this aside, he was really annoyed by the young couple. They dared to make excuses when asked to do such a small task.
But things are always different.

Prince Rui's Palace.
Yan Funing pulled Fu Ciyi out of the mansion.
After they boarded the carriage, Fu Ciyi asked her, "Where are you going?"
"East Third Street, I'll prepare some food and some of the restaurant's signature dishes, and send them to the Pang family. An Meng and the prince will like them."
"With your personality, no wonder they treat you as a close friend."
"They treat me well, so I should treat them well too."
When the couple arrived at East Third Street, they found that there were fewer pedestrians on the street than usual.
Liu Chengwen was just about to mount his horse when he saw the carriage from Prince Rui's mansion approaching. He quickly asked, "Is my sister inside?"
"It's me. Where are you planning to go, Cheng Wen?"
Yan Funing lifted the curtain and said something, then quickly lowered the curtain and got out of the car.
"I'm just about to go to the palace to look for my sister."
"But what happened? I see there aren't many customers. Just now, Suzaku Street was packed with people, but only in front of the Fufeng Restaurant, there weren't many customers."
As she spoke, she was helped out of the carriage by Fu Ciyi.
Liu Chengwen also jumped off the horse.
"I don't know where this tea-drinking craze has come from. Regardless of whether it's a teahouse or not, every shop has a good cup of tea for just three or five wen. Customers on East Third Street and at Fufeng Restaurant have dropped significantly. They're all rushing for the cheap tea."
"Good tea?" Fu Ciyi said coldly.
"Yes, my Lord, it's all good tea." Liu Chengwen looked at Yan Funing, "I just want to go to the palace to look for my sister. Do our shops also provide tea?"
"Wasn't tea provided in the past?" Fu Ciyi asked again.
"Indeed, there are. Especially in the two restaurants, they both serve tea before meals, but it was just ordinary tea. Now, other restaurants serve good tea."
"Are you sure it's good tea, and new tea?" Yan Funing asked calmly.
"It's good tea, but not new. I've personally visited several stores to confirm it," said Liu Chengwen.
"That's easy. Starting today, all Hakka shops on East Third Street and Fufeng Restaurant will prepare fresh tea for their customers. If they don't have good tea, go buy some. If that's not possible, go get some from the palace." Yan Funing ordered, "Tea stalls will be set up on East Third Street today, as well as in front of Fufeng Restaurant. We'll definitely 'catch' all the customers back."
"Okay, my father will prepare some good tea, and I will ask someone to buy the rest." Liu Chengwen smiled.
As soon as his sister took action, he felt relieved and turned around and walked quickly back to Chengwen Building.
Yan Funing went to the clothing store.
When Madam Zhu saw her coming, she quickly took the lead in greeting: "Miss, Your Highness."
Yan Funing helped her up: "Has my sister-in-law from my natal family come here to cause trouble again? Is the house in good condition?"
"She came twice, and Master Liu sent someone to drive her away. As for the house..." Madam Zhu said embarrassedly.
Madam Tang helped out, "We found a place. It's just down the alley off Sandong Street. The house is priced at two hundred. The shopkeeper thought it was too expensive and didn't dare tell the young lady."
"Buy." Yan Funing said with a smile, and instructed Caiyu who was following beside her, "Silver note."
Caiyu said yes, took out two silver notes worth one hundred taels of silver and put them in her young lady's hand.
Yan Funing immediately stuffed the banknote into Madam Zhu's hand and said, "Go find Tong Cheng and buy the house today."
"How can this be so kind..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard Liu Song's scolding: "You little bastard stole my tea!"
