Shen Qianchen subconsciously smiled sweetly at him, obedient and soft, with only him in her eyes.

Tang Yuchu, Xue Fengyan and Yun Zhan all felt it was too much to watch and gathered together to eat peanuts.

Gu Jue stuffed a pine nut candy into Shen Qianchen's mouth, asking her to concentrate on eating the candy and not think about the other things. At the same time, he said to Su Mubai: "Su Mubai, you should sort out the three major camps and the upper twelve guards first, and call the military department together."

Of course Gu Jue knew what Su Mubai was thinking, but he remained calm.

Su Mubai immediately accepted the order: "Yes, Your Majesty."

In short, the most urgent task is to find out how much money these people have secretly taken in without any work.

"Yunzhan, you come too." Su Mubai called out to Yunzhan, meaning to ask Yunzhan to help him, but he ignored Tang Yuchu and Xue Fengyan, two useless people who had no political acumen.

Tang Yuchu and Xue Fengyan looked at Yun Zhan with sympathy. Yun Zhan suggested in a desperate struggle: "Lao Su, I am not suitable for this. I am just a leader... I think Lao Pei is quite suitable..."

"How about you call Tang Yuchu and Xue Fengyan as well, it will be easier with more people..."

Yunzhan was mumbling to himself, but before he could say a few words, he was dragged out of the Qianqing Palace by Su Mubai.

Tang Yuchu and Xue Fengyan were afraid that Su Mubai would turn around and think about them again, so they quickly slipped away through another door. Of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best.

"Yunzhan," Su Mubai stopped under the eaves as soon as he went out, turned his head to meet Yunzhan's eyes, his face straightened, and he said seriously, "Now the prince is about to ascend the throne, we are all old people in the palace, you are making such a fuss in front of the prince, doesn't it make people think that the prince can't convince the public?"

Su Mubai has wanted to talk to these veteran soldiers for a long time, but he has been too busy recently, so busy that he wishes he had three heads and six arms.

"Who said that?" Yun Zhan didn't take it seriously and patted Su Mubai on the shoulder. "Does the prince need others to tell him whether he can convince the public?"

"You are just overthinking. We have come all the way from the north to the capital. We have seen everything. Who have we ever feared?!"

"Now that the prince is about to ascend the throne, why are you so afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind?"

Yunzhan said this with an open-minded expression. He thought that Su Mubai was smart, but he was a bit overthinking.

This person, he thinks too much, and sometimes he goes astray, just like when the late emperor granted marriage to the prince and the princess. Su Mubai could have told them all openly, but he insisted on hiding it and involved everyone, including the prince!

Su Mubai: "..."

Su Mubai looked at Yun Zhan with a little surprise and stared at him for a long while.

The golden sunlight filtered through the layers of tree canopy, casting a mottled shadow on his handsome face, making his expression obscure.

Yun Zhan's eyes were calm, and he smiled and raised his eyebrows: "It is impossible for our prince to become a monarch who is held hostage by court officials."

"I was wondering if you looked so worried about the prince just now. What if a major reorganization of the imperial guards caused unrest in the court?"

Su Mubai was silenced by Yun Zhan's words. He always prided himself on being smart and never thought that one day he would be forced to this point by Yun Zhan's words.

Yunzhan suddenly raised his hand again, brushed off a leaf floating on Su Mubai's shoulder, and said with a smile: "The prince has military power."

"What? You once led 10,000 Northern Di troops to raid the Red Di army of 100,000, and then lured the enemy deep into our territory. Now, after only a few days of peace, you can't even control a small imperial guard?"

"Do you think you are not as good as Kang Hongda?"

Yunzhan always had a smile on his face, and every word he spoke was powerful.

Su Mubai: "..."

If it were any other time, if Yun Zhan dared to compare Kang Hongda with himself, Su Mubai would have glared at him and would have kept this in mind.

But today, he did not feel angry in his heart. Instead, he had a subtle feeling of slapping himself in the face, and his heart was surging: After going through the incident caused by the Yun family, this kid Yun Zhan seemed to be reborn from the ashes.

The surroundings became quiet. Yunzhan leisurely put his hands behind his back, slightly raised his graceful chin, and looked into the distance.

He didn't say anything else and stood there with Su Mubai, one looking at the blue sky and the other looking at the swaying treetops.

Time seems to slow down at this moment, and the warm spring breeze blows across the hem of the clothes, creating an arc like flowing water.

Su Mubai curled his lips slightly, and suddenly he had an epiphany.

He looks weak, but he is not really weak after all. He is a general who has experienced many battles and overcome many difficulties. What he is best at is learning experience from a battle, whether successful or failed, and striving to win the next battle at a smaller cost and faster speed.

Su Mubai quickly calmed himself down, adjusted his mood, and calmed down.

He was just worrying over nothing and thinking in the wrong way.

The ruler is strong and the ministers are weak; the ministers are strong and the ruler is weak.

Their prince is not like the foolish previous emperor who only knew how to use people like Kang Hongda. The prince has military power and won the throne by force. He does not need to be afraid of anyone.

The imperial guards are in turmoil, so what if the imperial court is in turmoil? !

With these people here, how can those military officers who are paid for nothing make trouble? ! These termites should all be killed, and only by removing the rot can the flesh grow! "What do you think?" Su Mubai threw down these three words and continued to walk forward. His steps were less urgent than before, and more relaxed and leisurely.

"I think you are definitely not as thick-skinned as Kang Hongda." Yun Zhan quickly caught up with him and continued to walk side by side with Su Mubai.

"Thank you for your appreciation." Su Mubai laughed.

As they were talking, the two of them passed through a palace gate.

Yunzhan could also see that Su Huli had come out of his rut, and his smile deepened. He revised what Su Mubai had just said in the Palace of Heavenly Purity and gave it back to him: "Old Su, we are the elders of the Qiandi Palace, and everyone in the court is watching us."

This sentence is very meaningful.

Long before he learned that Yun Ce and the others were in collusion with Kang Hongda, Yun Zhan had already thought about a lot of things.

Whether it was what he did in the Yun family today or what he just said to Su Mubai, they were all the accumulation of his thoughts during this period of time.

The prince's ascension to the throne means that they will have to shoulder more responsibilities, not just the Northern Army and the Black Armor Army. The more it is at this time, the more it will be a test for them, and they should not be timid and restrained in doing things.

They must make decisions when necessary!

Although Yun Zhan already knew that Su Mubai, this fox, was much stronger than his fake and gentle appearance would suggest, he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Don't judge a book by its cover."

"Hey..." He wanted Su Mubai to let him go, but when he met Su Mubai's pupils that were as bright as the morning star, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Why does this old fox look so eager to try? !

"Let's go!" Su Mubai pulled Yun Zhan and walked forward hurriedly.

Yunzhan thought to himself that it was all over. He could have been a little lazy, but seeing how excited Su Mubai was now, it seemed that he couldn't be lazy anymore.

This is trouble! Yun Zhan regretted that he had said too much. He really wished that he could meet Pei Linye or someone else along the way and bring them along to share some of the work.

He still tried to negotiate with Su Mubai, "It's almost noon, why don't we go get something to eat first?"

"I think there might be no one in the Ministry of War at this time..."

“…”

Seeing the two people walking away, Gu Jue and Shen Qianchen who were standing at the window withdrew their gazes and smiled at each other.

Gu Jue said jokingly: "Su Mubai is worried about gains and losses."

Just now, a few words of what Su Mubai and Yun Zhan were saying outside actually floated in through the window. Gu Jue had good hearing, and after listening to a few words, he roughly understood what they were saying.

"Yeah." Shen Qianchen nodded slightly in agreement, his eyes sparkling, "This fox always likes to think too much. But the more he thinks, the more his mind gets confused. The more he thinks, the more he gets confused.

"Smart people are obsessed with trivial matters, and Yunzhan doesn't see things as clearly as he should. Yunzhan is much more lively than before."

As Shen Qianchen was talking, he burst out laughing and found it very funny.

How should I put it? It's really fun to see smart people doing stupid things occasionally. After all, you can't see such fun every day.

Shen Qianchen was busy watching other people's fun and was completely unaware that he had become a scene in Gu Jue's eyes.

Gu Jue agreed in his heart: his little girl is much more lively than before.

Well, he raised her well.

He raised his hand and gently touched the top of her head, smiling tenderly, and asked, "Have you tried on the clothes?"

When he mentioned this, Shen Qianchen showed a tired expression, pointed at her shoulders and neck and said: "I tried it, it's so tiring!"

The tuxedo to be worn at the coronation ceremony was so complicated that Shen Qianchen had never worn such a complicated dress in his two lifetimes. Trying on the dress was very tiring.

Gu Jue was a little amused: "Then... let me give you a massage?"

"Can you?" Shen Qianchen asked subconsciously at first, but regretted it as soon as he said it.

Isn't this the right thing to do with her good fortune? She immediately said, "It's okay, I'll teach you."

"..." Gu Jue's hand, which was about to hold hers, froze for a moment. He lowered his eyes to look at the girl's pretty face so close to him, her long and thick eyelashes half drooped.

"Okay, you teach me." The smile on his face deepened, and his dark pupils were filled with a tender glow.

Facts have proved that good teachers produce good students.

Under the guidance of such a famous teacher as Shen Qianchen, Gu Jue, the top disciple, quickly grasped the key points and carefully and cautiously helped her massage some acupoints on the shoulders and neck.

Shen Qianchen was just acting coquettishly at first, but after being massaged by Gu Jue for a whole cup of tea, her whole body indeed felt much more relaxed.

After her body relaxed, she lazily leaned on his chest, praising him generously: "Jiu Xia, you are so smart!"

Her words sounded like sweet talk between lovers, but at that moment, the light that flashed in her eyes showed that these were her true feelings.

In Shen Qianchen's mind, Gu Jue has always been the most special person, and no one can replace him.

Gu Jue was too outstanding and too excellent. In order to stay by his side, Shen Qianchen worked very hard in his previous life and put all his efforts that he had slacked off for fourteen years into it all at once.

At that time, she, like Su Mubai, Yun Zhan and others, looked up to Gu Jue wholeheartedly.

He is their prince.

In this life, it was like this at the beginning... Gradually, Shen Qianchen began to like the feeling of calling him "Jiu Xia".

Maybe it was because he was her "Jiu Xia" alone, and no one else would call him that except her.

This feels good!

As if hiding a little secret, Shen Qianchen smiled happily and subconsciously rubbed against his arms.

As their clothes rubbed against each other, the scents from their bodies slowly entwined and blended together, becoming inseparable.

Gu Jue was in a very good mood when he saw the little girl's wholehearted trust in him.

Shen Qianchen was also in a good mood, enjoying the quiet time at the moment, chatting with Gu Jue: "Today I not only tried on clothes, but also did a lot of things. I sorted out the roster of the palace servants."

She smelled the familiar scent on him and smiled complacently and proudly, as if to say that it was his turn to praise her.

Gu Jue readily followed suit: "So fast? My Qian Chen is really amazing."

That's it! Shen Qianchen became even more proud, and raised his beautiful little chin.

But she was his princess, so of course she couldn't embarrass him, and she had to do everything beautifully.

Originally they were going back to the north, so Shen Qianchen had only briefly sorted out the situation in the palace. After sending away those concubines, princesses, and princes, Shen Qianchen was too lazy to take care of the affairs of the palace; but now her identity is different, she will soon be the mistress of this palace, so she must sort out everything from the beginning.
