The prince lowered his eyes and smiled: "Shi Lang must not have thought that you noticed it so quickly. In fact, I didn't expect it either. After all, my sister has always been slow in this kind of thing."
Hmm? Yan Shiyue glanced at him, quickly moved closer, and whispered in his ear: "You mean..."
The prince looked at her, nodded, and sighed after a while: "We have all grown up, it's inevitable."
During the time she was away from the court, a lot of things happened. Lin Fujian had been dealing with Jin Hejiao, forcing him to retreat step by step. The Fourth Prince was in the Ministry of Justice, and he was in charge of many things, demonstrating his outstanding abilities.
As for Yan Shiyue, as the Empress Fu who has made unprecedented contributions, she is naturally very important. She is probably a person who must be fought for...
Yan Shiyue immediately understood why the Fourth Prince had asked the Inner Court to take her away last time.
Yan Shiyue felt a little uncomfortable.
She actually liked the young Fourth Master quite a bit, but even if he was the real Fourth Master, she always felt that he was not suitable to be the emperor, and that he was someone who was more suitable for "doing things".
Yan Shiyue said depressedly: "Why is it like this! Can't everyone be fine?"
"Don't think too much about it," the prince smiled and patted her head, "It's just a small matter, just get married and don't worry about anything."
...
...
Yan Shiyue was helpless: "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're too good-natured, and you think everyone is a good person. How can I feel at ease with you like this? But you don't have to worry, I'm here! I'm here for you in literature, and A Jing for martial arts. Even if you're a dog, I will definitely protect your position as the crown prince!"
The prince raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you say I am?"
He stood up and was about to kick her, but Yan Shiyue quickly picked up the child and dodged him: "I was just giving an example! Why can't you get the point?"
The prince laughed and scolded: "You call me a dog, how can I get to the point?"
The two of them were holding a child each, laughing and making noises. The Queen called out to them from a distance, "Put the children down first, if you are making too much noise!"
She was angry and happy at the same time: "I've never seen Yue'er quiet. She has led Zuo'er astray. Zuo'er used to be the calmest one."
As they were talking, "Wu Qi" came in quickly. Yan Shiyue immediately put the child down, changed her clothes, put on makeup, and then the two switched roles. Yan Shiyue returned to Fu Yan Mansion with Huo Qijing, Qing Weiliao and others.
After a while, the prince also sent "Yan Shiyue" back.
This time, Yan Shiyue will not go back to Fuyuan, but will prepare for her wedding at home.
In the afternoon, the shadow guard came back to report: "When Xu Wanyang returned, she had an argument with the vendor downstairs, and then the vendor went home and released a pigeon. We intercepted it and found 'Seven Blessings' written on it. Our people are now guarding that small courtyard."
So, Xu Wanyang really took the bait.
After a while, another person hiding in the Jin Mansion reported back: "Indeed, a pigeon flew over. Because there are many guards in the mansion and it is daytime, it is not convenient to intercept it."
Yan Shiyue put his hands on his knees and said seriously, "Sure enough, this guy is against me again!"
As a result, the solemn posture was only halfway through when the person who was hiding in the Lin Mansion came back to report: "The housekeeper of the Lin Mansion collected a pigeon this afternoon and has not released it yet."
Meow meow meow? ?
Yan Shiyue suddenly felt that his brain was not enough and subconsciously looked at Huo Qijing.
Huo Qijing said, "Mark both pigeons and check them when they fly back to the vendor's house."
Oh, that’s right! So you’re not just good at fighting!
Yan Shiyue said, "So, these two people will try to find out if Wu Qi is me?" Huo Qijing nodded, and she said, "What method do you think they will use?"
Huo Qijing said: "I can't understand why he needs to check. No matter whether Wu Qi is you or not, the 'highness' must be the 'highness' anyway. It is impossible to disguise for a long time."
"You can't say that," Yan Shiyue was speechless for a moment. After putting on airs for a long time, she turned around and asked, "Is Mr. Xu back?"
"He's back," the shadow guard said, "Mr. Qu is back too."
"Okay," Yan Shiyue was very satisfied. This new little brother was still very tactful! So he said, "Please."
Xu Wenqu and Qu were invited over. As soon as Qu Sinian entered the room, he knelt down solemnly and bowed deeply.
Yan Shiyue sat upright and accepted it, saying, "Get up."
Then she asked someone to serve the meal, and she told him the story. Qu Sinian said, "First move."
He looked at her and said, "Prime Minister, it is not easy to get close to you, but it is relatively easier to get close to Wu Qi... The key is that people who get close to you are easily considered to be seeking power and influence, but it is not the case if you get close to Wu Qi. People you meet at this time are like friends in need and are more trustworthy."
"So?" Yan Shiyue asked, "Then what methods will they use? I hope to eliminate all hidden dangers before I get married."
Qu Sinian laughed and said, "It is impossible for the Prime Minister to eliminate all hidden dangers while he is in the court. However, if they are not stupid, they will never do anything to interfere with the Prime Minister's marriage. As I said before, their ultimate goal is for power and profit, not to make enemies or to cause trouble for the Prime Minister."
"That's right," Yan Shiyue said, "So we don't have to worry about this matter, right?"
"Yes." Qu Sinian said, "But when the Prime Minister said that, I remembered something. About a year ago, when the Prime Minister had not yet entered the court, Jin Hejiao once said that he had prepared a gift for the Prime Minister, which would be of great use at the right time. He sounded very proud, but he didn't say what it was."
"So Xu Wanyang was most likely arranged by Jin Heqiao?"
Qu Sinian said, "Not necessarily. Anyone could be one."
“Ahhh!” Yan Shiyue was so confused: “Stop talking, it’s too troublesome! It’s too troublesome! Just tell me, what should I do now?”
"Then I wonder if the Prime Minister wants to solve it now, or..."
Qu Sinian said halfway, and then quickly changed the topic: "Prime Minister, you should go to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow, right? Then you should still pretend to be Wu Qi. In my opinion, Jin Hejiao is bold, and he may use a simpler method to verify your identity. He recognized you and proved that you are Wu Qi. And if Lin Fujian wants to know, he will also use a different method to verify. As long as the results of these two people are different, we can tell who Xu Wanyang belongs to."
"Wait." Yan Shiyue asked, "How do you know I'm going to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow?"
Qu Sinian smiled and said, "I guessed it. The wedding date is coming soon. After the Duke's Mansion was built, the Prime Minister probably hasn't visited it yet. It's just right for the Prime Minister to go with the Duke tomorrow. It will also avoid any changes, solve the problem as soon as possible, and get married peacefully."
"Okay." She looked at Huo Qijing, who nodded: "Okay."
Yan Shiyue ate a few bites and asked again: "But what if he doesn't come?"
Qu Sinian smiled and said, "How should I put it... The Prime Minister is Wu Qi. I think this news came from the palace. The news passed on from inside the palace to outside the palace is usually just a few words. Even if it is passed on in detail, Jin Hejiao is stubborn and self-righteous. He must verify it with his own eyes before he can rest assured."
