The moment Yan Shuhan saw the prince, he quickly let go of Princess Minghui and Su Jingyao.
"Your humble servant pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Several young masters bowed their heads slightly, their voices filled with awe.
Su Jingyao was surprised for a moment, then she calmly adjusted her sleeves and slightly bent her knees together with Chu Yinxue.
"Your servant pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
When Princess Minghui, who was released, saw her royal brother, there was a hint of surprise and a bit of fear in her eyes.
I wonder if her ferocious look just now was seen by her royal brother.
Princess Minghui pretended to be calm and walked in front of Jun Zechen.
"Greetings, my brother."
"Brother, you came back today without our father and mother informing us. If Minghui knew, she would definitely come to pick you up."
Princess Minghui forced a smile, her eyes full of flattery.
Jun Zechen ignored Princess Minghui's words and fixed his eyes on Yan Shuhan.
Yan Shuhan felt uncomfortable and a little scared when the prince looked at him fiercely.
Could it be that the prince was unhappy because he had just stopped the princess? Yan Shuhan speculated secretly.
"Who are you?"
Jun Zechen looked at Yan Shuhan coldly and asked.
"Your Highness, I am Yan Shuhan, the Imperial Censor. My father is a Guanglu Doctor in the court."
Yan Shuhan suppressed the inexplicable panic in his heart and answered in a steady and respectful voice.
It turns out to be the Yan family. No wonder they dare to marry into Yaoyao’s family.
"Lord Yan is quite leisurely. On my way back to the capital, I passed by Cheongpyeong County in Jeju. It seems that something happened there recently. Lord Yan, as the Imperial Censor, please go and inspect the local officials' administration and understand the people's sentiments and opinions."
Jun Zechen had a blank expression on his face and his tone left no room for doubt.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has such a good relationship with Princess Minghui that he was transferred to a distant place for Princess Minghui. Although the inspection of local counties will only take a few months at most, the Crown Prince usually doesn't care about these things.
Sending him away suddenly was obviously a punishment for him.
Even though Yan Shuhan was shocked, he did not dare to refute at all.
This was indeed his job, so he had no choice but to agree to it.
"Yes, Your Highness, I failed in my duty. I will go and inspect Qingping County thoroughly to make amends."
Yan Shuhan felt mixed emotions and had a complicated expression.
When Minghui saw that his brother transferred Yan Shuhan far away, he became anxious and wanted to stop it.
Now that Yan Shuhan is gone, how can she see him?
But when she met her brother's eyes, which showed no emotion at all, she suddenly became flustered and dared not speak at all.
Since the emperor has punished Yan Shuhan, the culprit cannot be let off.
Princess Minghui immediately filed a complaint.
"Royal brother, Miss Su was disrespectful to me just now. I only wanted her to kneel down and admit her fault, but she refused. Isn't this disrespectful to the royal family? Royal brother, you must help me punish this Miss Su!"
Princess Minghui glared at Su Jingyao fiercely.
When Si Nanyu and Wang Xiuwen heard Princess Minghui's complaint, their expressions suddenly changed and they became nervous and worried.
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince punishes Miss Su, it will be difficult to stop it given their status and position.
Si Nanyu gritted his teeth and explained to the prince, "Your Highness, Miss Su did not..."
Jun Zechen turned his head and looked at Minghui with eyes as sharp as swords.
"How old are you? I have returned victorious from the battle, but your temper has not yet subsided. You are even more arrogant and domineering outside the palace. Go back to the palace immediately and copy the palace rules a hundred times. You are not allowed to come out until you have copied them all."
Is this how Minghui bullied Yaoyao outside the palace? In the past two years since he was away, has Yaoyao been bullied?
When Si Nanyu heard the prince's accusation against Princess Minghui, he immediately shut up.
Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was sensible and did not help Princess Minghui.
The punished Princess Minghui's eyes widened instantly, her eyes full of disbelief and grievance.
"Brother, I..."
She wanted to defend herself.
However, when she met her brother's emotionless gaze, it was like being poured over her head with a basin of cold water. She immediately dared not continue speaking.
Why did my brother punish her without asking any questions?
Princess Minghui felt a lump in her throat and her eyes turned red.
How long would it take her to copy the palace rules a hundred times?
Princess Minghui glanced at the calm Su Jingyao, then looked at Chu Yinxue who seemed to be mocking her, and felt that she had lost all her dignity.
With a "humph", she swung her sleeves vigorously, turned around and ran downstairs.
Qi Wanyin kept her head down, and the angry Princess Minghui did not notice her.
After Princess Minghui left, Qi Wanyin slowly raised her head and looked at Su Jingyao and the others.
Why did the prince's cousin come here suddenly?
Do you want to come to Mofenglou to watch the performance or for someone...
Qi Wanyin's gaze stayed on Su Jingyao for a long time, her eyes full of inquiry.
Chu Yinxue didn't expect to see the prince so suddenly today. She then glanced at Su Jingyao secretly, and then at the prince. Just now in the private room, Yaoyao said that she wanted to marry the prince, and just now the prince defended Yaoyao like this.
Could it be that they have known each other for a long time?
After Princess Minghui left, the scene was silent and awkward for a while.
Su Jingyao didn't expect Jun Zechen to come back so suddenly. She raised her head slightly and asked, "Is Your Highness the Crown Prince also coming to Mofeng Tower to watch the Oiran performance today?"
There seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in his tone, but it wasn't obvious.
When Wang Xiuwen heard Miss Su talking to the Crown Prince like this, his heart skipped a beat and he immediately panicked.
He wanted to remind Miss Su, but didn't know how to start, and was a little worried that she would anger the prince.
Jun Zechen's eyes are deep.
Doesn’t she know what he is doing in Mofeng Tower?
