As soon as the two sat down, Min Yucheng said softly to Xianxian, "When these days have calmed down a bit, you and I can put the marriage on the agenda."

There were still bloodshot in his eyes. In recent days, except for eating, sleeping and returning home, Xianxian rarely saw Min Yucheng.

Because he was running around outside for Xianxian's new identity, if he wanted Xianxian to marry him smoothly, he had to give her a new identity.

But if he just randomly found an identity, it would be very easy to be discovered, and Min Yucheng was unwilling to take the risk.

Therefore, he did everything himself to ensure that everything went smoothly.

Her slender beautiful eyes were full of tenderness and her small hands gently stroked the hair on Min Yucheng's forehead. Her voice was still soft but full of heartache.

"Ayu, you've lost weight these days. Don't overwork yourself. I'll feel bad."

Xianxian looked even softer under the candlelight, just like a bright pearl, making Min Yucheng unable to take his eyes off her.

He held her tightly in his arms, "I'm not tired. As long as you can stay by my side, this little thing is not worth mentioning."

Min Yucheng naturally intervened in the affairs of the palace, because he never forgot to avenge Xianxian.

Madam Jing attacked Concubine Lan more than once, and it was Min Yucheng who helped Concubine Lan block the open and hidden attacks.

Whether it was Concubine Lan, Madam Jing, or Xilinchun, he had placed his own people around these three people.

What he wanted was to muddy the water in the palace.

Xianxian lay in Min Yucheng's arms and closed her eyes, as if she could feel his sincerity through his clothes.

"Please have dinner with me tomorrow. You haven't been with me for a long time."

Hearing Xianxian's aggrieved tone, Min Yucheng felt so soft-hearted.

He hugged Xianxian and comforted her, "Okay, I'll accompany you tomorrow. Anyway, things are almost done."

The next day, the two of them had a sweet breakfast together. In the afternoon, someone from the palace came to convey an imperial decree. Min Yucheng was named prince by Min Ning, and his title was Rui.

Just as Min Yucheng knelt down and received the imperial edict, the eunuch suddenly saw something and his face was full of disbelief.

Min Yucheng was very perceptive and immediately figured out what was going on, but he sent the eunuch away without changing his expression.

When the eunuch's carriage was out of sight, Min Yucheng turned around and told the housekeeper, "Have that woman ready. She will be of use soon."

Xianxian deliberately showed up in front of the eunuch, with the sole purpose of estrangement between father and son.

She was curled up leisurely on the chaise longue, holding a book in her hands, a shawl casually draped over her wrists, and her hair in a delicate and pretty bun, just like an unmarried girl.

Zhenzhu on the side was making a lace. She had very dexterous hands and was good at everything, whether it was doing Xianxian's makeup or doing embroidery.

At this time, there was a little maid standing outside. Zhenzhu put down what she was holding, then walked out and talked in a low voice to the little maid.

When she came back, she replied to Xianxian, "Miss, the prince has made a move."

"Oh?"

Xianxian put down the book and raised her eyebrows.

"The housekeeper went to the suburbs and secretly brought back a woman who looks about 70% similar to the young lady."

"Seven or eight points?"

I saw Xianxian supporting her chin lazily with her other hand, touching her chin with a book. There was an indescribable elegance in that movement.

"Keep your people watching the front yard. There will be something interesting happening in the palace soon."

"Don't worry, young lady. I understand."

Ever since gaining power from Min Yucheng, Xianxian has begun to build up her own power, and now the palace is under her control.

However, there was no lack of Min Yucheng's indulgence. Xianxian couldn't bear to see such a clean and innocent man fall into despair.

But Xianxian knew very well that in order to shake Min Ning, she needed not only Min Yucheng, but also Concubine Quan in the palace...

There was a dark gleam in her eyes, and she hoped that the next plan would not disappoint her.

Less than an hour after the eunuch returned to the palace, Min Ning hurriedly summoned Min Yucheng into the palace. It was unclear what the father and son talked about, but the woman was also sent to the palace.

When it was getting dark, Min Yucheng returned to the palace, only to find that he looked a little unhappy.

The first thing he did was to find Xianxian. Min Yucheng hugged Xianxian tightly without saying a word, but Xianxian knew he was afraid.

He held Xianxian's hands tightly and they were shaking, as if Xianxian would disappear if he let go.

"Xianxian, will you marry me? Be my only Princess Rui."

Xianxian knew why he was like that, so she softened her heart and hugged him back.

"it is good."

The eunuch saw Xianxian. Everyone in the palace knew about the Imperial Noble Concubine's deeds, and Min Ning even drew pictures of her every day.

The woman brought back from the suburbs was Min Yucheng's solution to prevent any accidents.

He had someone find a similar woman to train her so that she could be put to good use.

Whenever Min Yucheng thought of Min Ning coveting Xianxian, the emptiness in his heart could not be filled.

Because he knew very well that all of this was stolen by him.

This made him feel very insecure as long as he entered the palace and came into contact with Min Ning, who was sick with longing.

When Min Yucheng returns home, he will definitely ask for love from Xianxian in various ways.

He just wanted to hear from Xianxian's own mouth that she was his.

However, Xianxian is not a cold-blooded and hard-hearted person. She is naturally never stingy with words of comfort for the well-behaved and sensible Min Yucheng.

The next day, a Concubine Yi appeared in the palace. This Concubine Yi seemed to be a dark horse. Min Ning favored her for seven days in a row, and he wanted to give her all the good things in the palace.

Before we knew it, it was Chinese New Year and the palace was decorated with lights and became bustling with activity.

Due to a shortage of manpower on the eve of the New Year, some eunuchs and palace maids who were working in remote places were transferred to the palace to help the Empress.

"Pearl, it's time to set up the stage and perform."

"Yes, ma'am."

Xianxian stood in the corridor of the palace admiring the flowers, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.

"It would be a shame if we don't put on some great shows in this season of spring when flowers are blooming."

On this happy day, Min Yucheng went to the palace to find Concubine Quan to discuss his marriage.

Hearing that her son finally got it, she couldn't help but lean forward and ask curiously.

"But if you have someone you like, you might as well tell mother. As long as the status is not too low, mother will definitely help you get a marriage."

After nearly a year of planning and preparation, Min Yucheng had already arranged an identity for Xianxian.

His eyes were full of tenderness, and his fair and delicate face was blushing.

"She is the third daughter of Shen Yun, the president of the Hanlin Academy. She has been raised in the Qinghe area in the south since birth."

"The president of the Hanlin Academy? Shen Yun?"

He was a high-ranking official of the second rank, but this position was not very important and his status was neither high nor low.

Seeing how fond Min Yucheng was of her, Concubine Quan also began to have some thoughts on her.
