Chapter 262 Unpopularity

Haoyue is more convenient than her. He can tell her useful information directly while watching.

"Your Highness, Commander Lei reported that a group of assassins attempted to sneak in yesterday, but were discovered and committed suicide by taking poison on the spot. No one could get any information from them."

Bei Jingchu: "...Okay."

"Your Highness, Princess Xianning has presented you with two fine-looking puppies for your autumn hunting trip."

It was a very ordinary gift. Bei Jingchu said "hmm" and continued to work for Aye.

I had only read two books when a familiar name popped up again.

Princess Xianning proposed to build a canal to increase transportation capacity and alleviate the pressure of food supply in the capital.

After the reform, princesses were allowed to participate in politics. This aunt was appointed to a position and was very active in the court.

So you see, there is no shortage of talent in such a big country like Vietnam, it’s just that many people are forced to stay at home.

After an unknown amount of time, the little prince finally completed the tasks that were not her responsibility.

Just as she stretched and prepared to take a rest, the sound of fighting was heard outside.

Bei Jingchu became alert. After a while, the noise stopped. Lei Nian'er's voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness, I'm sorry to scare you. The assassin has been arrested."

"I have kept two prisoners alive, and found out that they are the remnants of the Qi clan."

Bei Jingchu vaguely remembered that it was the family of the greedy robbers she had killed.

But it doesn't matter. Ever since he did that offending job, in addition to the bad publicity his reputation had received before, various assassination attempts also followed one after another, every two or three days.

But she had lived in the inner palace before, so the security was tighter, and the assassins were mixed up with those who tried to kill the emperor, so she didn't know who was targeting her.

After moving to the East Palace, Bei Jingchu had a clear understanding of her unpopularity.

This was the first time that the assassination attempt came to her. She usually only knew about it when the petition was submitted.

She touched her nose speechlessly and let Lei Nian'er go to receive the reward.

The day of autumn hunting soon arrived, and Bei Jingchu was ready to go, just waiting for the event.

Ever since he was crowned the Crown Prince, Bei Jingchu had been either in the study or in the study all day long, and he hadn't taken a break for a long time.

I am excited to take advantage of this autumn hunting and prepare to show off my skills.

The royal autumn hunt was naturally grand, and when they arrived at the hunting ground, Aye finished his leadership speech in a long-winded manner.

Bei Jingchu felt that her face was about to become stiff from trying to keep smiling.

She went back to her tent to change into her riding clothes, and when she went out she ran into Princess Xianning.

"Prince."

Bei Jingchu called out, "Aunt."

She also changed into her riding clothes, and walked over with quick steps, looking heroic.

She smiled and said, "Autumn Hunting is called hunting, but it is actually a military training exercise."

"Your Highness, you must perform well and let those who are dissatisfied see the ability of our Great Yue Chujun."

Bei Jingchu thanked him: "Thank you for your good words."

"However, Prince, be careful when hunting and don't let your horse run too fast."

"I don't know if you have heard that my brother was the most satisfactory candidate for the throne to the Emperor. The imperial edict has been drafted and is waiting to be issued."

"He injured his eye while hunting and became disabled. He missed the chance to become the crown prince, and his second brother took the throne instead."

Bei Jingchu had of course heard that the girl Haoyue had collected all the gossip about the Yue Dynasty over the past fifty years.

Princess Xianning changed the subject: "However, it doesn't seem to matter who becomes the crown prince. After all, the winner now is Your Majesty. Who still remembers those two?"

Saying this in front of Bei Jingchu seemed a bit offensive.

After all, this means that the prince will also be a loser.

She suppressed her displeasure for a moment, hoping that she was just overthinking it.

After all, her sons were all under her command, so maybe her aunt was reminding her not to get carried away.

Fortunately, Princess Xianning seemed to realize that she had made a mistake in her words and said, "I was just reminding the prince to be careful."

"Thank you for your reminder, aunt. I will be careful."
