Chapter 191: The Silly and Innocent Training

At Princess Anle's spring banquet.

Jiang Yueyao came here with the little princess.

Princess Anle's spring banquet was completely different from any ordinary outing.

In this manor outside the city that His Majesty built specially for her.

People will stay here for half a month.

Enjoy the spring flowers, recite poems, compose couplets, and have fun.

"Yaoyao, do you think Princess Anle will like the gift we prepared for her?"

The little princess asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, don't worry, she will definitely like it."

Jiang Yueyao was full of confidence in this gift.

Based on the little princess' introduction to Princess Anle.

The older this princess gets, the more she acts like a child.

I like new things and I like excitement.

According to Jiang Yueyao's understanding of the old man,

Older people will definitely like... watching plays!

That’s right, the gift that Jiang Yueyao prepared for the little princess to give to Princess Anle was a new play.

In her previous life, Jiang Yueyao listened to a lot of operas with her grandparents.

Things like "The Legend of the White Snake", "Farewell My Concubine"...but the play he rehearsed for the little princess was.

"The West Chamber"!

I heard that Princess Anle and her husband were in a free love relationship back then.

It was precisely because of their deep affection that Princess Anle never thought of remarrying after her husband passed away.

I think Princess Anle would like the play "The Western Chamber" very much.

…

…

Arrived at Princess Anle's villa.

Jiang Yueyao asked Chunying and Xiatao to help her clean up the room while she strolled around the villa to familiarize herself with the environment.

As she walked, Jiang Yueyao was still sorting out the information she had recently obtained.

It is said that after His Majesty allowed the three princes to enter the court,

The news that His Majesty wants to choose one of the three princes as the crown prince has been gaining momentum.

The factional struggles among the three princes became increasingly fierce.

Originally, the seventh prince had the upper hand.

After all, among the three princes, the eldest prince is lame, the third prince is born to the imperial concubine, and only the seventh prince is the legitimate son of His Majesty and the Empress.

Logically speaking, he is the most likely to take the throne.

Even His Majesty initially entrusted the peace negotiations between Da Chu and Beiliang to the Seventh Prince, which was enough to show how much he valued the Seventh Prince.

It’s a pity that the Seventh Prince didn’t seem to be very capable, and the matter of marriage was soon handed over to the Third Prince.

It was even said that the seventh prince had offended His Majesty for some unknown reason and was severely beaten with fifty sticks, and had been recuperating during this period.

As a result, the Third Prince's lineage became stronger and stronger, while the Seventh Prince's lineage became weaker and weaker.

The biggest event recently involving the struggle among the three princes is the upcoming Spring Examination.

This is the legendary scientific examination.

The purpose of the imperial examination is to select talents for the country.

The progress of a country is inseparable from talents, and the Great Chu also has its own imperial examinations.

It is usually held in spring, so it is also called Spring Examination.

If he could be in charge of the Spring Examination, he would not only win a good reputation among scholars, but also become a great mentor to the students of this year's examination.

It can be said that I have a close relationship with these students.

It means that these students will become members of his faction in the future.

The benefits are self-evident, and can even be said to be huge.

The greater the benefit, the greater the struggle.

Now the factions represented by the three princes are almost beating their brains out.

I heard that during this period, the personnel of the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Rites changed frequently.

The reason behind this is naturally that people are often brought down in the struggles between the three factions.

No, a minister went to your house today, or a minister went to my house today.

[With so many changes in the court, the next imperial examination must be taken more seriously]

[But given the old handsome guy's personality, would he really watch his three sons beat their brains out? ]

[The key is that they didn't stop it for such a long time]

[This is a bit weird]

[Obviously, the handsome guy is aiming to become a famous owner]

[Or is it that there was an old handsome guy behind this matter? ]

[I heard that each of the three princes has a vassal king behind them... Could it be that the old handsome man is not interested in the princes, but in the three vassal kings? ]

[That's right]

Jiang Yueyao couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up in her heart.

I am so smart that I have activated my palace fighting brain cells.

Thinking about...

A familiar voice came from the side.

"I asked you to find out about Brother Tianming. Did you find out?"

"Miss, I have already spent money to ask someone about it. I heard that the Seventh Prince has been very busy recently and is not sure whether he will attend the Spring Banquet."

"Busy? Busy? What the hell! Brother Tianming has been recuperating in the mansion for such a long time. What does he have to be busy with? Are you dealing with me?"

"No, no, Miss. How can I dare to deal with you? I found someone who served the Seventh Prince and found out that he was indeed very busy recently."

"real?"

“Really, really.”

"Well, even if you are doing your job well, Brother Tianming has been suppressed by the eldest and third princes recently and he is feeling very uncomfortable. As his confidant, I will definitely help him. As long as he can see Princess Anle in person, Brother Tianming will definitely get benefits from His Majesty. Have I prepared the gift for Princess Anle?"

"My lady has already prepared it. It is all prepared according to your instructions. Princess Anle will definitely like it when she sees it."

"Of course, I know best what Princess Anle likes."

Jiang Yueyao quietly hid behind a big willow tree nearby.

This voice sounds very familiar, it is Li Yunyun who I haven't seen for a long time.

[This silly and innocent girl is really devoted]

[It's been such a long time, and you're still chasing after Chu Tianming]

[Didn’t I give you any hints when the red thread broke during the Chinese Valentine’s Day? You and Chu Tianming are not suitable for each other at all.]

[Alas, I heard that although Chu Tianming was recuperating in the mansion during this period, he did not forget to send a gift to Princess Dugu Yanran.]

[It is obvious that he is pursuing Princess Dugu. The naive Li Yunyun has not given up yet. She is truly a woman who is firmly locked in by the aura of the vicious female supporting role.]

Just as Jiang Yueyao was thinking about this, she heard the conversation between Li Yunyun and her maid outside.

"Miss, you are so devoted to His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, but His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince has been sending gifts to Princess Dugu Yanran and has never thought of sending one to you. Is it really worth it for such a person?"

"Tsk, what do you know?"

Li Yunyun snorted coldly.

"Brother Tianming told me that he pursued Dugu Yanran only for the Beiliang power behind him, but the person Brother Tianming truly loves is me."

"When Brother Tianming is on the list in the future, the only person who can take his place as queen will be me."

"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."

"I don't want to hear you say anything disrespectful to Brother Tianming anymore. Otherwise... otherwise I will punish you by sending you to the manor."
