Ni Yueshan stood up with the bowl in hand: "Go to sleep. When you've had a good rest, come find me and talk to Dad!"
Ni Yueshan walked out, and Jing Yuchen did not reach out to stop her, but watched her walk away.
In the pavilion, the smell of alcohol on Ni Gaofei had almost dissipated. He looked at Ni Yueshan with a kind expression.
"What do you want to say to your father alone?"
He picked up the sobering tea in front of him, took a sip, and there was a smile in his eyes, and the sadness of the past was gone.
Ni Yueshan pretended to sigh sadly: "Dad, my daughter has encountered a dilemma now, please help her!"
Ni Yueshan's opening remarks surprised Ni Gaofei. Puzzlement flashed in his eyes as he asked, "What happened?"
"I was just saying that... I thought I had found the right person for my life, but now the emperor is in a coma, and those ministers are trying every possible way to force women on him. Alas, although I am still young, I am already a mother and am aging very quickly."
"Now, when I see the paintings of those young girls, I feel a little moved. What do you think, Prince? Even if you don't want to take a concubine now, what about the future? Will I be demoted to a concubine?"
"Ordinary men often have three wives and four concubines. As the crown prince, it's unavoidable. Yueshan, I'm worried about this too. Are you the type to get along peacefully with them?"
"If you do something to hurt other concubines out of jealousy, the prince will sooner or later grow tired of you. Yueshan, your father hopes you can learn to be patient!"
Although this is not what Ni Gaofei wants to see, nor what Ni Yueshan wants to hear, it is what Ni Gaofei says from the bottom of his heart, the only way to coexist peacefully...
"No, Dad, if the prince wasn't the emperor, wouldn't this situation have happened?"
Ni Yueshan's words surprised Ni Gaofei. This is actually what Ni Yueshan wanted to say most, right?
I was wondering why Ni Yueshan actually confided her worries to him...
"You, you..."
Ni Gaofei looked at Ni Yueshan, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Ni Yueshan smiled and said, "Dad, you must have some close colleagues. Why don't you make suggestions during the morning court session and urge the establishment of a new emperor?"
Ni Yueshan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looking very confident. Ni Gaofei was a little puzzled: "Urging him, wouldn't that be forcing the prince to become the new emperor as soon as possible?"
"No, don't forget that the emperor has two other sons!"
Ni Gaofei just felt that Ni Yueshan was very courageous and dared to play power games in such a court matter.
Finally, he sighed helplessly: "Well, I am old and can't see through you. Tell me, what should I do!"

It was not until the evening that Jing Yuchen reluctantly got up from bed. Ni Yueshan had been waiting there for a long time and was getting a little impatient.
"Are you a woman? Why are you so slow to leave?"
Jing Yuchen was still stretching: "The bedding you slept on smells so good, I really don't want to leave."
Ni Yueshan rolled her eyes at Jing Yuchen. "Really? I can understand your words directly as you saying that the bedding I slept in at the Prince's Mansion is a bit smelly? Otherwise, how could you bear to leave?"
Ni Yueshan's eyes were too aggressive and her words were very sharp. Jing Yuchen felt that he could no longer chat with Ni Yueshan...
Afterwards, the two returned to the Prince's Mansion, but Jing Yuchen had something to deal with, so he let Ni Yueshan eat dinner by herself.
Ni Yueshan knew that Jing Yuchen had pushed the matter to this point, and if he didn't take action, something big might happen.
"Go ahead, go ahead, eat something while you have time!"
"Okay!" Jing Yuchen walked away without looking back.
In the capital, in a teahouse, Envoy Tufan had been waiting since noon. After sending people to inquire, he learned that Jing Yuchen had simply accompanied the Crown Princess to the Prime Minister's residence for dinner, and was drunk and slept soundly in the Prime Minister's residence, as if he had completely forgotten the agreement between them.
Although he was angry, he didn't have the courage to get angry. When he saw Jing Yuchen walking in, he immediately went forward to greet him.
"Prince, you're here!"
He had a smile on his face, as if he was not unhappy at all about Jing Yuchen breaking the appointment, nor did he mind it at all.
Jing Yuchen said "hmm" lightly, then asked, "Your Excellency, I wonder if King Tufan has replied? Do you want the gold or not?"
"Xianchang has already provided enough gold. The prince is right. The gold mine originally belonged to Xianchang. Besides, everyone wants to maintain peace. How can Xianchang pay tribute to Tufan?"
