"There is an iron mine in Jiangnan. All minerals in Daye, especially iron mines, must be reported to the court, but that one was not reported."
"And the iron mine had been mined. So my son asked someone to investigate the matter. Guess what happened?"
The old emperor shook his head: "I don't guess."
Prince: ...
"Dad, you don't have any interest at all. I don't know what mom wanted from you in the first place."
The old emperor's eyes widened.
"You little bastard, if I'm going to have fun, it's with your mother, not you."
"Could it be that all the iron ore was secretly transported to the southwest?"
The prince nodded vigorously: "Dad, you are right, I was also very shocked at the time."
"Huh, so why didn't you report this matter when you came back?"
The prince said aggrievedly: "It was only transported to the southwest, but there is no evidence to prove that it was done by the King of Huainan. Isn't my son still investigating it secretly?"
"But I promise you, Dad, that there will be a result today."
The old emperor looked at the vigorous and high-spirited prince and knew that he was going to look for Shen Zhiyi.
"Bring the son of the King of Huainan to me first."
“Yes.”
The old emperor began to interrogate the King of Huainan's true son. As for the crown prince, he took his son to the Hundred Flowers Banquet.
There is no money to hold a wedding banquet for his son at the moment, so it is better to let his son see more girls. Maybe after he has some hesitation in his heart, he will not have such a strong desire to get married.
When the prince arrived, he saw his eighth sister looking at men crazily, but the process did not seem to be very pleasant.
[This guy looks decent, but he's not very good at sex. He finishes in just one second.]
The eighth princess waved her hand quickly.
She has always indulged in sensual pleasures, and if she finds someone who doesn't like her, she will lose the sexual happiness of the rest of her life.
[This... is hard to judge. ]
Eighth Princess: How difficult it is to judge.
"Your Highness, if you were to marry my father, I would definitely treat you as a guest of honor."
The eighth princess was very satisfied, thinking this man was a wise man.
[Oh, you are a distinguished guest? A divorced wife is more like that. ]
Everyone looked at that person with gossipy eyes.
[This guy also said the same thing to his late wife, but once she married him, he made her do everything and even cook for him.]
"Your Highness will definitely not be asked to cook. I will do it myself."
【I want the other person to wash my clothes. 】
"The princess's clothes are also being washed."
[He took advantage of his wife's labor for free and didn't even pay her. She was just like a free babysitter, and finally died of overwork. ]
"From now on, all my money belongs to the princess."
The eighth princess looked at the other person for a long while, and finally laughed.
"Is the Liu'an Marquis family so poor that they can't afford servants?"
[They can afford it, but this family thinks that a daughter-in-law is not here to enjoy life, but to carry on the family line and work, so it is unnecessary to force the daughter-in-law to do this and that.]
The eldest son of Marquis Liu'an, who was currently meeting the Eighth Princess, nodded quickly.
"Princess, you are joking. Of course we can afford servants and maids. I will hire as many as you want, Princess."
"Really?"
The Eighth Princess raised the corner of her lips, pointed at the other person and said, "It's you."
"ah?"
Shen Zhiyi shook his head in a speechless manner.
[Why did these two women believe such a clumsy lie? 】
[The Eighth Princess married into the Liu'an Marquis family? ]
Shen Zhiyi thought about the scene, and couldn't help but shudder when he imagined the arrogant and domineering Eighth Princess becoming like a resentful woman in the boudoir.
"Old Eight."
When the eighth princess heard someone calling her, she looked up and saw that it was the Crown Prince who came over. Everyone present immediately knelt down and saluted.
"Old Eight, do you really want to choose this thing as your eighth prince consort?"
The prince was shocked.
Don't understand.
Not supported.
Although he usually didn't care much about his younger brothers and sisters, they were still children of his Zhou family, so how could he allow them to be bullied?
"No, no, I don't agree, and Dad won't agree either."
The eldest son of Marquis Lu'an was unhappy and protested his injustice.
"Your Highness, I am not that bad, am I?"
The prince looked at her with disdain and found an excuse, "He is already married, and if you marry him you will be his successor, which is not appropriate."
[This is strange, would the prince care about this? ]
Prince: Of course he doesn’t care, but this is not a good family, how can he let his sister marry into it?
The Eighth Princess waved her hand nonchalantly.
"It's okay, let's not get married first, first..."
[What? Do you want to try marriage first? ]
The Eighth Princess said excitedly, "Trial marriage, yes, yes, yes, let's give it a try first. If I can go to Liu'an Marquis's house, I will have someone to rely on for the rest of my life. If I can't go, I won't lose anything."
The eldest son of Marquis Lu'an was ecstatic.
"Eighth Princess, I will definitely satisfy you."
[Why do I feel something is strange? ]
Shen Zhiyi touched the back of his head, feeling very distressed.
[This won’t do. If the old emperor knew that I found such a man for the eighth princess, wouldn’t he chop off my head? ]
As he said that, Shen Zhiyi touched his neck and felt a chill.
When I raised my eyes, I found that the prince had come over without me noticing.
"Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Don't bow, don't bow. We are no match for each other."
The prince pulled Shen Zhiyi to sit down and began to talk about his experiences in Jiangnan.
"Chen Lang, if you have the chance in the future, you must go to Jiangnan. The food there is different from that in the capital."
[Of course they are different. Oh, I miss them. I don’t know if the food in the south is the same as that in my world. I miss Sichuan and Hunan cuisine. Without these two cuisines, life would be incomplete.]
[By the way, is there such a thing as chili pepper in Daye now? 】
Shen Zhiyi flipped through the surveillance video for a long time, and finally became a little depressed.
[Sure enough, there are no peppers. I don't know how the boats at the Ministry of Industry are built. Let's go out to sea quickly and bring back my beloved peppers.]
The prince, who originally came here to dig some information from Shen Zhiyi, was told by the other party that he was hungry.
Finally, a table full of dishes was served, and after satisfying his craving, he continued.
"You don't know, I solved a big case after I went there."
"Your Highness is amazing!"
[What the hell? How can I solve a case when I was farming? ]
Shen Zhiyi turned on the surveillance video, and after watching it, he couldn’t help but exclaimed.
[Oh, I know, I know, this matter is not that simple. ]
The prince's heart suddenly began to tighten.
Shen Zhiyi, tell me quickly, where is the evidence that the King of Huainan is going to rebel?
[Hahahaha, what do you call this? This is called sowing the seeds of evil, and sooner or later you will reap the consequences.]
[Your Highness the Crown Prince should have found the evidence. 】
Prince: Thank you for the invitation, but not yet.
