The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

Hu Luanfei wondered: "Don't you choose the wise over the elder?"

Xuanyuan Li said: "As for the candidate for the throne, I prefer Chuan'er."

Occasionally, when he was in a daze, he heard Xuanyuan Yuchuan's words, with his neck stiff, saying that he didn't want to be the emperor.

"What if Xuanyuan Yuchuan doesn't want to be a king?" Somehow, these words came out uncontrollably.

Xuanyuan Li chuckled: "There is no one in this world who doesn't like being a king. In short, I won't allow you to refuse my order."

"Haha." Hu Luanfei sneered, "That's why I don't want to acknowledge you as a king or a father. I don't have any freedom at all. But forget it, I won't force you to take back your decision. You pushed those things into my hands unilaterally. I don't care. No one can stand me."

Hu Luanfei knew that she didn't have the ability to fight against the other royal relatives. What if her favor endangered the status of the emperor's descendants? Wouldn't the entire harem regard her as a thorn in their side and want to get rid of her as soon as possible?

She was now under attack from all sides in Beiqiu, and the situation was not optimistic. So she had to give up the idea of ​​being a cheap father. Before Qi Siliao returned triumphantly, she had to protect herself.

Looking at the portrait, Hu Luanfei secretly had some ideas in his mind.

The winter wind blew in through the cracks in the window, and it made me feel cold. Suddenly I felt warm, and there was a black robe on me.

When he came back to his senses, he saw Xuanyuan Li walking by uncomfortably, and he said with concern: "Don't be so elegant but not warm. Wear more clothes, be careful not to catch a cold."

Hu Luanfei ignored his good intentions, took off his outer robe and placed it on the chair beside him: "Now that we have come to this, I cannot stay any longer."

Xuanyuan Li's attitude was unusually serious. "You are disobeying my order. I will order someone to chop off your head."

Hu Luanfei was not afraid. "My mother once said that I am Feiluan, I am not bound by constraints, I am not coerced, and I yearn for freedom. If anyone oppresses me in the future, I will spread my wings and fly into the sky."

"Try and see if you can get out of Beiqiu's territory." Since soft tactics didn't work, Xuanyuan Li chose to use a tough attitude to force Hu Luanfei.

"Do you understand A Niang? Do you understand me?" Hu Luanfei laughed and mocked him, "Did you protect A Niang before she died? No, as a king, how could you not know how fierce the jealousy in the harem was. You favored A Niang, thinking that you loved her, but you didn't know that you caused A Niang to fall into the jealousy and dissatisfaction of the concubines, making her unable to move forward or retreat. Now that she is dead and I have grown up, you suddenly jump out and pretend to be a kind father."

Having said that, he snorted coldly, leaving Xuanyuan Li with a proud back and walked out of the Yangxin Palace without looking back.

She spoke so loudly that the servants working outside could hear her. As soon as she stepped over the threshold, she heard the sound of something falling on the floor behind her.

The palace maids who served before the emperor hurried in. Only the young eunuch who had entrusted his belongings to Hu Luanfei stood there with his head lowered, not daring to look.

Hu Luanfei recognized him and called out "Xiao Lanzi". Xiao Lanzi looked up and suddenly remembered the conversation between her and Xuanyuan Li just now. After guessing her identity, he was quite scared and hurried to kneel down.

"Don't." Hu Luanfei stretched out his hand to stop him, "I just want to say that your family is doing well."

Xiao Lanzi was slightly surprised, but she quickly reacted, "Thank you, Princess..."

"Hey, stop it!" Hu Luanfei approached him, gently pulled his ear and whispered: "When you are working in the palace, forget everything you should and shouldn't listen to, otherwise... be careful not to lose your head."

Xiao Lanzi's face turned pale, and he lowered his head and said, "I understand. Thank you, Princess Zhan, for your advice."

"That's good enough." Before leaving, he did not forget to stuff a red envelope into the small basket. "This is a tradition in my hometown. During the Chinese New Year, married adults will give red envelopes to children. Please accept it. I wish you good health and all the best."

Xiao Lanzi took it blankly, and murmured as he glanced at the direction where she was going, "This is a treat I only had as a child. You are the first person to give me New Year's money in the past ten years since my parents left."

……

Not long after leaving the Beiqiu Palace that day, I heard from Xuanyuan Yuqing that his father had punished the queen because of agricultural development issues.

The cause was nothing serious. It was just announcing to the world that the agricultural development plan would be handed over to Hu Luanfei. However, no one knew that Hu Luanfei had unilaterally rejected Xuanyuan Li.

The Queen was not sad about Princess Chaoyun's death, but intervened in government affairs many times. After so many times, Xuanyuan Li's patience was worn out. It happened that he learned that the booklet that Xuanyuan Yuchuan asked Hu Luan to send last time was delivered to the master of the harem by the Royal Escort Agency, bypassing the king and committing the crime of deceiving the king.

Xuanyuan Li seized this as evidence and held the Queen's maternal family responsible, pardoning them for their crimes. The Queen was confined to her house, her maternal family lacked protection, and the escort agency was stripped of its title of "Royal Escort Agency", becoming less powerful than before.

Xuanyuan Yuqing also said that the queen was only looking forward to the prince's triumphant return at this time, but the war to the north and south of the city was led by Concubine Shu's brother and the prince together. The two were not of one mind, which was a taboo for an army.

While preparing New Year's goods, Hu Luanfei asked, "Who is the main force in the army?"

Xuanyuan Yuqing said: "Divide into two factions, each with its own leader."

"That won't do. They are a collective, and if they continue like this for a long time, they will easily be defeated."

"We've had this many times, but they just don't learn their lesson." Xuanyuan Yuqing said angrily, "Nalan Qi relied on his sister being a concubine and himself being an old veteran, and he didn't take my brother seriously at all. When others attacked, he repeatedly stopped my brother from sending out troops. When it was time to retreat, he repeatedly ordered his soldiers to attack, and each time, my brother's injuries became more serious."

"I think the reason why Nalan Qi is making things difficult for the Crown Prince is simply because his sister has a son."

Xuanyuan Yuqing immediately frowned, "Do you want to get rid of the third brother?"

"Tsk!" Hu Luanfei was annoyed and glared at him fiercely: "In your eyes, am I the kind of evil ghost who kills people?"

"That's not the case." Xuanyuan Yuqing asked, "Then what should we do?"

"Please ask your father to issue an order to have the Third Prince support the Crown Prince."

Xuanyuan Yuqing was the first to jump out and object, "With the Third Prince's temper, if he saw the blood on the battlefield, he would definitely be scared to death. This method is not appropriate. Let's think of other ways."

"Bah, Nalan Qi should see what kind of character his own nephew has and whether he can take on the responsibility. If your third brother is a pile of useless mud, who will the soldiers on the battlefield choose to follow?"

Xuanyuan Yuqing thought for a moment, "Comparing them, my brother is definitely the better one. He is a rare talent. If I were a soldier in the military camp, I would not be so blind as to fight against a weak scholar who can't even lift a finger."

"Why don't you go and ask for permission?" Hu Luanfei was so angry that she really wanted to stab him to death with a carrot. Fortunately, she was busy during the New Year, otherwise Xuanyuan Yuqing would be in trouble.
