The emperor finally rescinded his order, and Tu Yufan became King Ning. Tu Yufan took Wang Lingping and Cuixiang with him.
The clerk who had helped the emperor mark the papers was also dismissed. Before, for convenience, the emperor asked the examiners to take a look first, and then gave the excellent papers to the emperor for review and ranking. Naturally, Tu Yufan's paper was missed.
But fortunately, he did not fail in the same group as the Jinshi.
When Wang Lingping came back, there were crowds of people kneeling on the floor of the palace, calling out "Prince" and "Princess". Wang Lingping looked a little uncomfortable.
Afterwards, Tu Yufan handed over the affairs of the palace to Wang Lingping. The population of the palace increased several times. Fortunately, there were maids from the palace to help. Although there were more people in the palace, Tu Yufan knew that among these slaves and eunuchs, there were probably many people planted there.
Most of them should be people planted by Concubine Yue, the Queen Mother of Chun. After all, Tu Yufan is now ranked first and is the eldest prince. The eldest prince has already passed away, so Concubine Yue will naturally pay attention to this person who was suddenly recognized. As the first person in charge of the harem, she will definitely arrange her own people to enter Tu Yufan's backyard.
Tu Yufan still kept Cuixiang in his mansion. If he let the couple return to Xianming Village, they would probably be looked down upon because of her being his daughter-in-law.
Cuixiang and her husband originally wanted to refuse, but after Wang Lingping persuaded them several times, they finally agreed to stay. They wanted to live in the mansion as ordinary relatives, just to have an extra pair of chopsticks. Moreover, Zhao Yi and Zhao Yuan had regarded Cuixiang and her family as their grandparents for so many years, and Cuixiang was reluctant to leave her two grandchildren.
Pure Palace
Jiang Yizhen was shocked when she learned that Tu Yufan had become a prince. She hurriedly asked the system: "History books never mentioned that he was a prince. How did he suddenly become a prince?"
Zhao Caiqing had never considered Jiang Yizhen as her rival before. Jiang Yizhen knew that she was the future winner, so whatever she did was targeted at Zhao Caiqing. As time went by, Zhao Caiqing also realized Jiang Yizhen's hostility towards her, and soon, the two of them started to confront each other in the mansion.
Under Zhao Caiqing's handling, Jiang Yizhen was always the one who was at fault, but it was because she was protected by Prince Chun. In the end, it seemed as if Zhao Caiqing was wronged, and Prince Chun felt more and more guilty towards Zhao Caiqing.
Everyone in the entire backyard couldn't help but dislike Jiang Yizhen for being so arrogant because of her favor. Although they didn't dare to provoke her for the time being, Jiang Yizhen had become the target of public criticism.
In order to cut off her support, Jiang Yizhen had to trip up Tu Yufan whenever she had the chance. He was the future prime minister, and since she couldn't win him over, she would ruin his future. Coincidentally, she noticed that the Shen family seemed to be dealing with Tu Yufan as well, so she went with the flow.
But he didn't expect that his future would change, but go in another direction.
In this way, it would be better to be the prime minister. The prince is qualified to compete for the throne. Although the probability of Tu Yufan becoming the emperor is very small, she still doesn't like to have another competitor.
Tu Yufan later found out that the letter was given to him by Zhao Caiqing.
“.......”
He was still a minor official at that time. Zhao Caiqing did not have the ability of foresight, so how could she deliberately let him know Jiang Yizhen's hostility towards him?
Tu Yufan quickly put the matter behind him. Regardless of whether Zhao Caiqing was using someone else's knife to kill someone, what she said was true and would not affect his behavior.
The emperor attached great importance to Tu Yufan and assigned him many official duties. Although Tu Yufan did not like work, he would not show that he was stupid. There were four adult princes now, and the emperor had not yet appointed a crown prince. Many people in the court were ready to make a move.
Tu Yufan thought to himself, in the plot, the emperor still has many years to go before he dies. He is so anxious to jump around, is he afraid that he will die too slowly? Tu Yufan had just become a prince and had no power in the court. Many people wanted to join Tu Yufan, but he declined and even refused to see them. The emperor looked at them coldly, but his impression of this son became better and better.
In addition to the fact that he had few offspring, he was also worried about his dislike for women, but having weaknesses made the emperor feel more at ease.
