I'm in trouble again! My best friend, the princess in the group, please save me!

"If it's a period of national mourning, does that mean Huanyan's marriage will be canceled?!" She suddenly thought of this and quickly grabbed Songyan's arm.

Song Yan said awkwardly: "Probably not... According to past examples, it will remain the same, just delayed for some time..."

The Qianqing Palace was in front of them. She lowered her eyes and followed Songyan.

A group of imperial officials were already kneeling outside the door. Once inside the palace, sporadic crying sounds could be faintly heard.

Yes, it has been a long time since the old emperor was beaten into a vegetable. As the saying goes, there is no filial son beside a long-term sick bed, not to mention a group of concubines who could not see him once a month.

She raised the corner of her mouth sarcastically and hid in a corner.

When I raised my head, I was met with a pair of peach blossom eyes that were swollen from crying, which made them look even more charming.

She looked closely and saw the second prince.

Thinking of what happened before, she couldn't help but lower her head, not wanting to look at him again.

An Huanyan rushed over and started crying loudly. No one cared whether it was sincere or just an act, because everyone had some kind of grief on their face.

It can be considered as some sincerity. Although this cheap father is not as good to An Huanyan as the queen is to her, there is still some affection in this body.

The prince, with a grief-stricken face, embraced An Huanyan and comforted her gently.

The second prince was also lying on the bed crying uncontrollably. When he raised his head, his eyes were full of tears. I felt sorry for him.

After a while, people came to carry the old emperor away. After burning incense, bathing, and dressing him in shrouds, they then performed the burial.

The second prince suddenly went crazy, pushed those people away, threw himself on the old emperor, crying and shouting to stop those people from getting close.

The miserable appearance made everyone unable to hold back their tears again.

The prince quickly helped him up and told his servants to move the emperor away.

The second prince had no more strength left and fainted on the ground.

Everyone around immediately gathered around, luckily the imperial physician was nearby and he was busy helping him.

Jiang Xingkuo was stunned.

When did he become so concerned about this old man?

The prince at the side pulled An Huanyan, but his eyes were fixed on the second prince, with mixed feelings in his heart.

People came and went in the hall, and it was soon filled with white cloth and white lanterns.

The life of a generation of emperor came to an end just like that.

The entire funeral was carried out in an orderly manner under the leadership of the prince, while on the other hand, there was still a fierce quarrel in the court and the country.

On the one hand, it is said that no matter whether the eldest son or the legitimate heir is the heir, the crown prince should succeed to the throne.

On the other side, Prime Minister Hai's followers jumped out and said that the Second Prince had fainted from crying many times, which showed that he was truly filial and brotherly, and that he could communicate with gods, shine throughout the world, and know everything.

Jiang Xingkuo threw a bean into his mouth and said, "What's the use of just being filial? Being the second child doesn't give you any advantage."

"You don't understand. Those people started attacking my prince brother, saying that he neglected to take care of my father when he was bedridden, and was only concerned with playing with power and had no love for my father at all. An unfilial person must never inherit the throne..." An Huanyan sighed.

"Outrageous... We are so busy with state affairs, how can we have the leisure and elegance like the second son!" She threw another bean and opened her mouth to catch it.

"I said you must be more on the side of the Crown Prince!" An Huanyan excitedly slapped the table and said in a mean way: "Are you......"

Jiang Xingkuo was startled, and the bean slid directly into her throat, choking her so much that she quickly stood up and coughed again and again, almost choking to death.

She finally recovered. "Bullshit!" She gasped and drank a cup of tea. "You should worry more about yourself! You're getting married soon!"

She still felt vaguely uncomfortable.

When these things are connected, there is always a feeling that one is being used.

The matter of the jade seal is very strange. Who could suddenly put the jade seal in the Hai Mansion where there are so many experts without being discovered?

It can’t be that the Hai family really stole it.

She scratched her head irritably, then looked up to see An Huanyan with an indifferent expression.

"Why worry? I'm fine. Just treat it as another experience. If it doesn't work out, I'll find another way to leave. Summer will come anyway."

An Huanyan raised her hand, and the black bracelet seemed to hide many unspeakable secrets.

"Are you sure?" She was still worried.

An Huanyan grabbed her hand and said seriously, "Xingxing, I know. I know everything. I just don't want to dwell on it too much. It will make me very unhappy."

Jiang Xingkuo stopped talking.

In short, not long after, Songyan brought news that the prince had ascended the throne.

The two breathed a sigh of relief. This should be the best outcome.

If the second prince succeeds to the throne, the crown prince will definitely not survive.

But if the crown prince succeeds to the throne, it will be legitimate and the second prince will be fine for the time being. After all, there is no reason to touch him.

At the same time, the news that shocked the two was that Hai Yanqing took up the post as the son-in-law of the emperor and concurrently served as the price stabilization officer.

"Price Stabilization Officer? What rank?" An Huanyan frowned.

"Princess, he is only of the fifth rank, but I heard that... he has great power..." Song Yan replied.

Teng Xi, who was standing by, interrupted immediately: "Now it's time to call her the eldest princess."

Song Yan clapped her head and said, "Yes, yes, we are both princesses with fiefs..."

"It's okay, just call me that in private. I'm not used to being called Princess." An Huanyan glanced at Teng Xi casually, and Teng Xi blushed.

"By the way, what's the situation with that regulator..."

"They are the ones who manage prices. They sell whatever is expensive and bring the prices down. If something is too cheap, they will buy it up..." Jiang Xingkuo next to him replied quickly.

"Well... this explanation is quite plain and simple." An Huanyan blinked her almond eyes.

"Just tell me whether you understood or not!" Jiang Xingkuo crossed his legs proudly.

"I understand, I understand." An Huanyan slapped her legs away, "But we haven't officially gotten married yet, so why is he in office?"

"For the princess' marriage, the only thing missing from the three letters and six ceremonies is a welcoming ceremony. But because the national mourning period has been postponed, in name, he is almost like a real prince consort!" Songyan explained.

An Huanyan's face suddenly turned red.

"I guess the help of the Hai family is also indispensable in this! It is only natural for Prime Minister Hai to abdicate and his son to take over. Anyway, the eldest son has led his troops away from the court, and the second son should be placed in charge." Jiang Xingkuo blew on the boiling hot tea.

"Yes. I heard that the eldest son is with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...ah, the Emperor. After the Emperor ascended the throne, he sent him back to the southwest to guard the city." Song Yan massaged An Huanyan's shoulders attentively.

"Great!" An Huanyan clapped her hands. "That guy is so creepy-looking. I get goosebumps when I see him!"

"He's your uncle and a buddy." Jiang Xingkuo took a sip of hot tea cautiously.

Yutai knocked on the door hurriedly and brought a message.

The princess's mansion has been renovated, and Princess Jingyang will choose an auspicious day to move to the mansion.
