Yuan Jing stroked his forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "With such a big business in the capital, how can I just leave? Besides, the emperor is keeping a closer eye on me. What will he think if I leave?"
"That old thing, why isn't he dead yet?"
"Pa!" Yuan Jing slapped him on the head, "Don't talk nonsense, he is your father now, you are adopted by His Majesty."
"Now that you have just returned, it is time for you to cultivate yourself and cultivate your character, get rid of the murderous aura, and learn how to be an emperor. Your Majesty should arrange for a tutor to teach you."
Xiao Mingyu was still unhappy. He hugged Yuan Jing without saying a word. There were endless things happening right after he came back. It was really unhappy to be a prince.
"It's okay to say it here, but you can't be so unruly outside, okay?" Seeing that Xiao Mingyu didn't respond, Yuan Jing simply pulled his ears to see if he would respond.
"I know, I know." Xiao Mingyu quickly saved his ears and glared at this guy with resentment. Who would dare to pull his ears now? Only this guy took advantage of himself and indulged him. "How about I tell the old guy to let you come to the palace to teach me."
"Don't be impulsive!" Yuan Jing warned Xiao Mingyu.
Xiao Mingyu pestered Yuan Jing for a long time, and even kissed Yuan Jing several times. Looking at his expression, he looked like a cat that had stolen fish.
He wanted to stay for dinner, but Yuan Jing, who could no longer tolerate him, drove him out and told him to go back to Prince Duan's Mansion to have dinner with Prince Duan. Prince Duan must have been waiting for his son to come back.
Xiao Mingyu left Fan's house with great reluctance. The guards following him were all his personal guards. They had followed Xiao Mingyu in the battlefield through wind and rain and crawled over piles of dead bodies, but they had never seen Xiao Mingyu like this.
They winked at each other. Although they knew that Doctor Yuan was an important man left by the Prince in Beijing, they did not expect that the Prince would be so clingy to Doctor Yuan. Could it be that... the Prince did not like women, nor did he like Shuang'er, but only liked men?
Several guards showed horrified expressions. Is this the reason why the prince refused to accept the woman who came to him at the border? What should he do now? The prince will be the emperor in the future. How can all the civil and military officials watch the prince favor a man?
Several guards wiped their faces, not knowing what to do. Having followed Xiao Mingyu for many years, they knew that once he made up his mind, no one could persuade him.
Prince Duan, who had been waiting anxiously for his son, finally saw him. Someone sent a letter to sow discord, saying that Xiao Mingyu had gone to Fan's house. Although Prince Duan felt a little unhappy, what could he do? Because he had already realized that in his son's mind, he could not compete with Doctor Yuan for status.
When Xiao Mingyu came back, Prince Duan was immediately happy, knowing that he had come back to have dinner with him. He immediately asked the kitchen to serve Xiao Mingyu's favorite dishes, which had been prepared in the kitchen early in the morning.
"You've grown taller, darker, and stronger." Prince Duan kept watching his son eat. He couldn't get enough of watching him. His heart was filled with pride. His son was so outstanding. "Your mother will be very happy to know your current situation. Before I return to the palace, I will burn some incense for your mother."
Although he could contradict Prince Duan on other matters, Xiao Mingyu would not do so on this matter. He nodded to show that he understood.
After burning incense, Xiao Mingyu returned to the palace obediently. There was no other way, he had to adapt to this kind of life.
Seeing the prince coming back to the palace, the palace servants almost cried with joy. They were afraid that the prince would become willful and quit his job and not even return to the palace.
At Fan's house, Mrs. Fan, who had also finished her dinner, stayed to talk to Yuan Jing, but she didn't know how to start.
Yuan Jing guessed Fan's intention and took the initiative to hold Fan's hand: "Mother, you are worried about the relationship between Mingyu and me."
After Yuan Jing started the conversation, it was not difficult for her to say the following words. Fan looked at her son distressedly, "Yes, I didn't expect Mingyu to have such feelings for you. What about you, Yuan Jing? What do you think? In fact, I don't want you to follow the same path as Zhao Han. Even if you are as glorious as the imperial concubine now, what good will happen to you in the future?"
Yuan Jing didn't know how to answer Fan. Fan was really thinking about him, which was why she took so much trouble. If that person was not his lover, Yuan Jing would not have chosen to go down this path.
After thinking for a while, Yuan Jing raised his head and looked at Fan: "Mom, if I say Mingyu is different from other emperors, you will definitely not believe it. Mom, why don't we make a bet? Mom will quietly watch what Mingyu will do and whether he will detain me in the harem. If he dares to do so, you don't need to tell me, I will pack up and leave the capital as soon as possible. That is when you have to suffer with me."
"Okay, okay, mother is not afraid of hardship or fatigue." Fan's eyes were filled with tears, and she nodded repeatedly, "As long as Yuan Jing can stick to your original intention, mother will not worry. Mother is just afraid that you will fall into it. No matter what, mother will stand by you, Yuan Jing."
"Thank you, mother." Yuan Jing was grateful for Fan's thoughtfulness.

From then on, Xiao Mingyu began to spend his days in the palace attending classes and then slipping out from time to time. This made the officials in charge of teaching him love and hate him. The prince was indeed very talented. He could understand everything once he was taught and could apply it to other situations. However, he would disappear at a certain time, and the class would be late.
Of course Xiao Mingyu slipped out of the palace to see Mingyu. There was no other way at the border as it was too far away. Now that he is back, why can't he see Yuan Jing every day?
At this time, many ministers submitted memorials, urging the Crown Prince to appoint a Crown Princess.
Of course, the emperor was also considering this matter. He picked out several candidates and asked someone to call Xiao Mingyu to ask him which one he liked. It would be best to pick the candidate he liked. This candidate was chosen by both him and the imperial concubine, but he had a hunch that this kid would not compromise so easily.
The imperial concubine did want to put the man she liked into Xiao Mingyu's backyard, but she had met Xiao Mingyu once or twice, and when those eyes looked at her, it always made her heart suffocate and she couldn't breathe. She knew that this man was not as easy to talk to as Xiao Mingrui, and was even more difficult to control.
Therefore, she did not want her own people to become the Crown Princess. She just wanted the girl from the Yu family to occupy a position in Xiao Mingyu's backyard. That was her low requirement.
But Xiao Mingyu would never agree to it any lower.
"I have candidates." Xiao Mingyu said bluntly, without even looking at the portraits of the candidates he had chosen.
"Who?" the old emperor asked curiously. He had been living in the palace these days, but even his personal servants were not allowed to get close to him.
Xiao Mingyu raised his lips unscrupulously, knowing that the old man would be shocked when he said it, but he should scare him to prevent him from making trouble: "The one your father knows is Doctor Yuan who often comes to the palace to treat your father's health."
"Doctor Yuan?" The old emperor was stunned for a moment before he realized who Xiao Mingyu was talking about. He raised his voice and said, "You want Doctor Yuan to be your Crown Princess?"
"Of course," Xiao Mingyu said confidently, "Except for Yuan Jing, I don't want another person. No matter if it's a woman or Shuang'er, all of them combined are not as good as a hair on Yuan Jing's body."
The old emperor was so angry that he was shaking: "Doctor Yuan is a man, you let a man be your crown princess, and the future queen?"
The eunuchs who heard the quarrel between the two looked at Xiao Mingyu in surprise. Was the Crown Prince so willful that he wanted to make a man the Crown Princess or even the Queen?
Xiao Mingyu was unhappy when he saw that the old emperor was not satisfied with Yuan Jing. When he heard what the old emperor said, he realized what was going on and laughed: "Haha, father has seen Yuan Jing so many times, but he didn't realize Yuan Jing's true identity. Yuan Jing is so powerful that he fooled everyone. No, the eldest princess is more perceptive than father. The eldest princess knew Yuan Jing's identity the first time she saw him."
The old emperor's anger was stuck in mid-air: "What is Doctor Yuan's identity?" How could he not know?
Xiao Mingyu came to the dragon bed and kindly explained it to the old emperor. Of course, he had a smug look on his face: "Yuan Jing is Shuang'er. Father, you haven't discovered it yet? But Yuan Jing is better than any man. Most of my son's skills were taught to me by Yuan Jing, and he also has such great medical skills. What do you think? Such a Shuang'er can be worthy of being my son's crown princess. To be my crown princess, you have to be the best in everything. As long as father can find someone better than Yuan Jing, I will listen to you."
"Shuang'er?" Of all the words, the old emperor only paid attention to these two words. The other eunuchs were dumbfounded. They had been in contact with Doctor Yuan for quite a while, so how could they not realize that Doctor Yuan was played by Shuang'er? How could his every move resemble Shuang'er?
The prince couldn't possibly deceive His Majesty about this matter, so Doctor Yuan is really Shuang'er? It is indeed as the prince said, this Shuang'er is very amazing, there is no other woman or Shuang'er who is more amazing than Doctor Yuan.
So it's normal for the prince to want to marry Doctor Yuan, right? Ugh! How did they get fooled by the prince? As long as the prince is powerful, why would they want to marry such a powerful princess?
"Yes, it's Shuang'er. Oh, by the way, Yuan Jing is not Mrs. Fan's adopted son, but her biological son. He was the Shuang'er who was swapped to the Luo family. However, Yuan Jing didn't want to go back to the Luo family or the Zhao family, so he was just called Yuan Jing. Okay, father, please issue an imperial decree. I have to marry Yuan Jing back quickly. Ah, no!" Xiao Danyu stood up again, then hurriedly walked out, leaving a message, "I have to discuss it with Yuan Jing first. If Yuan Jing knew that I acted on my own, he would definitely be angry with me."
The old emperor stretched out his hand to call the people back, but before he could say anything, Xiao Mingyu's people had disappeared. The old emperor hurriedly ordered: "Go and call the prince back."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The eunuchs hurried out. Of course, at their speed they could never catch up with Xiao Mingyu.
The old emperor looked at the chief eunuch who was taking care of him and said, "What is going on?"
The chief eunuch also realized that this prince was too difficult to deal with. If he didn't follow his ideas, he would definitely cause trouble in the palace. What should the eunuch do now?
Doctor Yuan’s identity is really unexpected.
