After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace

What's more, his own son is stubborn and follows the Second Prince's lead without any interest in the throne.

Earlier, Concubine Jin wanted to fight for it, but her son was not enterprising, so she lost before she even started.

What else can I do?

Just lie down!

When Chu Zhimo heard what Concubine Jin said, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Mother, I think..."

As soon as the words came out, they were interrupted by Concubine Jin: "Don't even think about it."

"Why?" Chu Zhimo asked, "Doesn't mother like her too?"

"She's already married, and she's the Princess of Ming County. We can't do anything like stealing someone else's wife."

Chu Zhimo didn't care: "Fu Yunjing had a favorite concubine earlier, and the two of them were just in a relationship of appearance but not in spirit."

"That's not important. The point is, she doesn't have that kind of interest in you. Otherwise, why would she ask someone to return the things you sent her?"

Chu Zhimo: “…”

It hurts, mother!

"Her attitude is clear. If you keep pestering her, you'll be annoying. You don't want to be chased and beaten by your uncle, do you? Although we are not destined to be together, you can still treat her as a sister. I only have you as my son, and I also want to have more daughters to love me!"

Chu Zhimo struggled for a few times and said, "They say that a strong woman is afraid of a clinging man. How about I try harder?"

What if the prying succeeds?

Concubine Jin choked, and finally picked up the soft pillow at hand and threw it at Chu Zhimo in a bad mood: "Get out, I warn you, that is my adopted daughter, if you scare her away, I will break your legs."

Chu Zhimo: “???”

I'm afraid he didn't pick it up.

But since his mother had said such harsh words, Chu Zhimo naturally didn't dare to have any more bad ideas. And Gu Zhiyin refused so straightforwardly, could he really rely on his status as a prince to snatch her away? Even if he didn't care about the opinions of the world, he had to consider Gu Zhiyin's reputation.

Well...my sister is not impossible too!

Chu Zhimo was about to leave the palace when he saw Cheng Hong walking in a hurry.

"uncle."

When Cheng Hong saw his nephew, a big smile appeared on his face and he bowed: "Your Highness."

Chu Zhimo raised his hand: "Uncle is in such a hurry, has something happened?"

Cheng Hong: "Just received news that the Duke of Protectorate led his troops to successfully wipe out the bandits and rescued the Marquis of Xuanping."

"That's great. Father can finally sleep peacefully." Chu Zhimo smiled and said, "Is Marquis Xuanping okay?"

"As a hostage, how could it be easy? Those bandits were all desperate criminals. Fortunately, the Duke of Protectorate arrived in time and saved their lives. I am anxious to see the emperor, so I won't say anything more for now. Take care, Your Highness." Cheng Hong said.

Chu Zhimo nodded: "Okay, uncle, go quickly."

The emperor's gloomy mood for days finally improved. Before the Duke of Protectorate returned to Beijing, the reward had already been sent to the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion.

Marquis Xuanping was seriously injured and was not suitable for traveling, so the Duke of Huguo accompanied him, and Qin Zi'an led the troops back to the capital first.

The emperor rewarded him for his merits by appointing him as the commander of the Imperial City Administration.

The empress dowager asked him to go with her, although he was only there to assist and had no power of command, but it was obvious that she wanted him to take the opportunity to get promoted, so no matter how reluctant the emperor was, he had to go.

Qin Zi'an returned home refreshed and was about to share his joy with Prime Minister Qin, but he was stopped by the butler just as he reached the door of the study.

"Second Young Master, Eunuch Yu is here."

Qin Zian stopped and Qin Xu opened the door and walked out: "Did you say anything?"

The steward shook his head.

Qin Xu was silent for a moment, then said to Qin Zian, "Let's go. It must be some reward from the Queen Mother."

Qin Zian's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he happily followed Qin Xu to the front yard.
