The Favored Concubine: The Doting Prince

When the carriage was about to reach Youran Mansion, Yu Liao, the driver, discovered that the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince were already waiting at the door.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and realized that this Cai'er might really be different. Looking at Fanyue's anxious look, Yu Liao reminded him, "The Crown Princess and Master are waiting at the door."

Yuxiao opened the curtain and saw several people. Lian Yuanyi was also standing at the door, accompanying them.

Yuxiao looked back at Cai'er who was sitting in the car in a daze. This little girl must be different.

But Yuxiao was not in a position to ask. "Miss Cai'er is almost here." Cai'er looked up with a blank look in her eyes. Her mind was in a mess, so she just nodded.

She didn't notice that Yuxiao's way of addressing her had changed. When she got off the car, she saw Fanyue waiting there, with an anxious look in her eyes. When she saw her getting off, she ran over.

"Are you hurt? Are you okay?" Seeing the redness in Fanyue's eyes, which must have been from crying, Cai'er naturally reached out and patted Fanyue's shoulder. She also pinched her little face. The people present were stunned.

"I'm fine, don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that the store is gone." Cai'er didn't dare to look up when she mentioned this. Most of the expenses of this store were paid by Fan Yue, and he didn't earn anything for her. Instead, it was burned down.

It was still my own fault. It was probably because of the feud with the Yan family and the Shen family.

"If the shop burns down, it's burned down. Just rebuild it. I'll build you a bigger one. Buy the shop next door and we'll connect them.

Besides, the burning of this shop has nothing to do with you. It should be Yan Shou who did it.

That bastard has a grudge against me, but I need to hear the details from you."

Fan Yue led Cai Er inside. The two of them walked fast, and the others followed behind.

Fanyue is slightly taller than Caier now. She leads Caier inside with firm steps, but one can feel that she is still angry.

Xu Caier looked up and saw that the girl was so proud and confident. It seemed that she could withstand the collapse of the sky.

She said she wanted to get rid of Yan Shou and open a bigger shop for herself.

There was no trace of blame in her eyes. Xiao Yueran has grown up.

She is no longer the little girl who hid behind Rouer and timidly called herself aunt. Now she has to protect herself instead.

"I have sent the best doctor to Brother Shen's place, there shouldn't be any problem. I have also gone to comfort the family.

Don't take all the blame on yourself, it's all my fault. Your family is in trouble.

It was also because of my eldest brother from the Shen family that he got hurt." Fan Yue's face was full of apology.

"What nonsense are you talking about? They have pointed out our names and said that they don't want our family to have a foothold in Kyoto. This feud can only be considered as caused by my mother and me together."

Fan Yue looked back at Yuan Yi, who was following slowly behind him, listening to Yu Xiao and Yu Liao reporting something to him.

Then he nodded and indicated that Fanyue and Caier could go into the house first.

Yuan Yi turned around and went into the study with Yuxiao.

"The other party is indeed the Fourth Prince Yuande."

"Ade, why did Ade come here? He is living well in Huangzhou."

"But the Fourth Master is indeed very capable. We have spies in every place. But he was able to arrive in Kyoto quietly without us noticing."

"You are just too cautious. Everyone should watch and see what he does."

"But fortunately he saved Miss Cai'er, but the Crown Princess obviously treats Miss Cai'er differently."

"It's different, but I know the reason." Since Yuan Yi knew it, the two brothers didn't want to ask any more questions.

"Why do you two call her Miss Cai'er? You're so polite all of a sudden." Yuan Yi stepped on the couch. He felt tired after standing for a long time.

Yuxiao looked up at Yuan Yi. He could tell the subtle change immediately. "After all, she is a good friend of the Crown Princess. Also, the Fourth Master seems to be quite interested in her. He gave her the personal jade token."

Only the crown prince has this privilege that other princes do not have. It symbolizes the prince's status and allows him to mobilize all the rights under his name, including property, private soldiers, etc.

"Well, Yuan De has never been married."

"Because of the Fourth Master's appearance and his leg injury. The noble ladies were not willing. When he was in the capital, he was the object of competition for everyone.

But as soon as he arrived in Huangzhou, he heard that several wealthy businessmen in Huangzhou wanted to marry their daughters to him, but he was rejected.

"My brother is very spontaneous. He must like what he wants. You don't need to interfere in this matter. Just let them do it themselves."

After saying this, Yuan Yi deliberately glanced at Yuxiao.

Yu Xiao smiled knowingly. "Of course, this is something that requires both your consent and ours. We can't interfere."

Yuxiao's mutual consent reminded Yuan Yi of what he said at that time: let nature take its course.

In Fanyue's bedroom, Cuitao considerately warmed a pot of wine, served some exquisite snacks, and then left.

The door was closed, and now the room was filled with a peaceful scent. Fan Yue poured Cai Er a glass of hot wine.

"But you are injured, can aunt still drink?"

"can."

Xu Caier drank it all in one gulp and let out a long breath.

"I really believed that I was going to die. And it might be even scarier than death. This society is so scary.

There was such a big commotion that day, and there was no one patrolling the streets. If you say it was a coincidence, I don’t believe it.”

Cai'er's eyes were still filled with fear. She curled up in bed, hugging herself with her arms. If she had pretended to be calm in front of others just now, her fear was now obvious. She didn't want to act anymore in front of Fanyue.

"They were about to beat Shen Yao to death in the street like that, and they were just a little bit away. That was a human life, Yue'er.

How can we change this?”

“We can never change a society alone.

Even if it is possible, it is only by calling on more people with one's own strength that one can change this society.

Even in our world, my aunt didn't change overnight.

That was only achieved after hard work, sacrifice, bloodshed, and groping in the dark.

I came here and found that their ideas are deeply rooted.

But we can't blame them. We were born in such an environment and grew up under such thoughts. We are definitely different from them. We can't judge them from a God's perspective. If we try to change them, we will hurt them and ourselves.

All we can do is to influence them gradually. Why should I publish enlightenment books now? Before we can change their thinking, we must first let them know about this kind of thinking.

Fanyue placed Cai'er's hand in her palm and rubbed it gently. Her palms were cold.

The coldness made Fan Yue feel distressed. She had seen Song Yazhuo being fearless and doing well in that world. But here, she was hit like a lost deer in the forest.

"Fortunately, my current identity has taken advantage of all the benefits of this world. I try my best not to conflict with them. This way, I can go with the flow.

Even Yuan Yi, whom I loved deeply, would disagree with me on some of his ideas. He was curious and unfamiliar with the world I was talking about.

So I can't blame him for saying that he has backward ideas, even if people like Yuan Yi, my brother-in-law, and Yuan Ye are already very powerful in this world.

They are also doing what they think is right and what benefits the people in the current society, but they still have deviations in their thinking. I can't judge them as backward or ignorant. Isn't it? "

Song Yazhuo nodded. "This is reality, right? We need to abide by the laws of this reality in order to survive.

Only when we survive well and have a certain amount of power and influence can we make some changes. "

“Yes

I don't dislike Yuan Ye because he also made changes in the army. He wanted everyone to have military merit and be rewarded according to military merit.

If you think about it, we have had this kind of change in history. They need to go step by step.”

"If you become a prince, you can change the army. If you become a crown prince, you can change literature when you are young, and you can change the country when you are older. But we can't do anything." Song Yazhuo's tone was so unwilling, even a little angry.

"That's not true, Auntie. The reason why the things in your shop are so good and cheap is because you brought the technology you learned from that world with you. This allows the production of these things to take less time, making them more affordable and of better quality. This is also a change."

Song Yazhuo looked up at Fanyue. Her eyes flickered, and her black pupils seemed to have a light now.

Since she was well fed and well dressed, the beauty of Nuan Caier gradually emerged. She had bright eyes, white teeth, and lips that were naturally bright red.

The palm-sized face is pitiful, yet resolute and courageous. The intellectual and wise temperament of Song Yazhuo is gradually emerging in this little girl.

Cai'er put her hand into her clothes and slowly stretched it out. She spread her palm in front of Fanyue. A black jade pendant lay quietly in her palm. Yue'er, should I catch him?

The jade pendant looked very delicately carved.

"The one who saved me today was the Fourth Prince Yuande."

"Yuan De? But he didn't return to the capital."

"I listened. It seems that he didn't want others to disturb him, so he came back secretly. Yuxiao from your house just said something to me. This jade token is not simple. The look in Yuande's eyes when he saw me. I am not the real Xu Caier. I am Song Yazhuo. I have lived for more than 30 years. I know that the way that man looked at me was different.

He asked me why I ran back, why I was willing to go back and die when I could have escaped? Even if he didn't like me that much now.

Maybe, at least, I am a little special in his heart now.

How much do you know about this Yuan De?"

Song Yazhuo is smart, and so is Gu Fanyue. My aunt held the jade pendant in her hand, as if she were grabbing a life-saving straw. There was vigilance and expectation in her eyes, and her thin little arms were supporting her like that. Holding the jade pendant.

"I don't know much about him. But I know this. Before his appearance was ruined, he was the most likely person to replace Yuan Yi."

Hearing this, Song Yazhuo raised his eyes. "But Chen Liang is the same, his appearance is ruined and he can't walk. So there is no hope of succession. That's why everyone turned their attention to Yuan Ye.

But I heard that Yuande's mother's family is now quite prestigious. It turned out to be the Dingsheng family. Later, Yuande returned to his territory Huangzhou with his mother.

The emperor said that he loved his son, so he vigorously supported Yuande's mother's family. Moreover, the Huangzhou he governed was now known as the Little Imperial State and was very prosperous.
