In a world where there are more men than women, I am spoiled

Yang Qianxun waited silently for the eldest prince, his eyes narrowing as he looked at the palace officials waiting outside. After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the eldest prince came over. Yang Qianxun saw him and said directly, "Your Highness, the palace officials outside are all here to check on the mistress. I'm entrusting them to you."

The eldest prince looked at the eunuchs waiting outside and his lips twitched slightly.

“My lord, I will send them back. I suppose it was the Queen who caused us trouble. In this matter, the Li family abandoned the third branch, and the Queen is probably furious.”

"Whether he's angry or not is not important, but the fact that he keeps bothering us at our residence suggests that he'd be better off under house arrest."

"I'll arrange for someone to take care of it."

"Are you trying to put pressure on His Majesty by preventing Tian Tian and Man Man from entering the palace? Are you trying to make her severely punish those noble families who have ill intentions towards us?"

"Yes, there is some. It seems that the Li family reached some kind of consensus with the Empress Mother to lift the Empress's confinement. I was worried about not being with Tian Tian and the others at this time."

"Do we have any people around the Empress? Has any news gotten out?"

"Not yet. I'll go to the palace to check on things once my wife is more stable in a couple of days."

"Alright, I'll leave the palace affairs to you. I'm leaving now. I've been busy all morning and haven't even had breakfast yet." Yang Qianxun said and left directly.

The eldest prince looked at the eunuchs waiting in the courtyard outside and walked straight over.

Thinking of how much trouble the Empress was causing, the eldest prince snorted, gave a few instructions to Ruogu beside him, and then left the room.

When the palace officials outside saw the eldest prince arrive, they immediately bowed respectfully and surrounded him.

"I am a servant of Du Rujun, and I have specially sent a top-grade ginseng to Lady Su to nourish her body."

"I am..."

"Your Highness, my master specially chose it..."

The eldest prince listened to their chattering around him, his face darkened, and he said directly, "Go back to where you came from, or throw them all out."

Seeing the Crown Prince's gloomy face, the eunuchs immediately and respectfully handed over all the items their master had sent to the servants standing in the courtyard, and quickly left.

The eldest prince watched them leave, his brows furrowed as he prepared to walk towards the backyard.

As he passed by the neighboring courtyard, he saw servants coming and going, and heard Feng Qi's clear voice coming from inside.

"These posts were rejected outright, and the doorman was notified to refuse any more deliveries."

"Reply directly to these posts, thank the other party for their kindness, and send them a gift in return."

"The accounts of the shops on Sankou Street are not correct. Give the shopkeepers a day. If they are still not correct, send our people over."

"besides..."

Feng Qi handled her tasks methodically, while the eldest prince stepped inside.

The servants in the courtyard stopped immediately upon seeing the eldest prince and bowed respectfully.

"Greetings to Your Highness."

The eldest prince waved his hand, signaling them to get up.

"Big brother, what brings you here? Are you here to help your little brother?"

As the eldest prince approached, he noticed stacks of invitations and account books on a table in the middle of the courtyard, along with several stewards waiting to report on their affairs. His lips twitched slightly.

What he was thinking was, "As expected of the next monarch that the Empress Mother has been grooming since childhood, his abilities are top-notch!"

Feng Qi didn't hear the eldest prince speak. He looked up and saw the slight twitching at the corner of his mouth. He smiled and said, "Big brother, do you think you've gone too far?"

"Too much? Not at all. Feng Qi, you know more about palace affairs than I do. How about we entrust the palace matters to you as well?"

"Ha! If you're here to give me more work, then goodbye!"

“Little Qi, that’s not right. We’re doing this to show our approval of you and to let you get used to things in advance. It’s for your own good.”

Feng Qi resisted the urge to roll her eyes and ignored him, continuing to say to the steward beside her, "Do as I say. If you can't find any problems, sell them all."

"Yes, Young Master Qi." The shopkeeper, having received the order, quickly left without lingering.

"Little Qi, do you agree to my proposal?"

"What did you suggest, brother? I understand what's going on in the palace, but can I show my face? The powerful families of Fengdu are all watching us now. What will happen if they find out that Sister Yue is hiding the deceased former crown princess? You understand, right?"

After listening, the eldest prince shook his head regretfully...

There was a chance to relax... But think about the current lord, who has compressed the workload onto them, and now all the trivial and busy tasks are directly dumped on Feng Qi, leaving him only to spend time with his wife.

Waaah... He wanted to too.

"Brother, if you have nothing else to do, hurry up and get back to work! Look at all these people who came to the palace today. The Empress must have made a foolish mistake. She's not a threat. But the Li family is more difficult to deal with. We've cut off one branch of the family this time, but they still have the main branch and the second branch, as well as the collateral branches and the fourth and fifth branches!"

"Since you know so much about this, how did you manage to get rid of the Li family?"

"To solve everything, we need to break down each branch one by one. The fourth and fifth branches of the collateral line are like weather vanes, so we don't need to deal with them. We only need to deal with the eldest and second branches of the direct line."

“I’ve investigated before. The first and second wives have always had some conflicts. All we need to do is sow discord and frame them. Once they’ve finished fighting, that will be our opportunity!” Feng Qi said calmly.

After listening to Feng Qi's words, the eldest prince pondered for a moment, and he seemed to know what to do: "Brother Qi, bring me the information you found in a little while."

Feng Qi was speechless when he heard what the eldest prince said. The matter he had worked so hard to investigate had been taken away by the prince, pot and all.

“Big brother, there’s a shortcut. You can have Sister Yue do it, and I guarantee you won’t even need to sow discord,” Feng Qi said with a smile.

"What shortcut?"

"The shortcut is that the Empress is from the eldest branch of the family, and the people of the eldest branch are generally too narrow-minded, treacherous, and not good people. However, the eldest son and daughter of the second branch are not bad people. The master that the daughter is betrothed to is the second son of the Wenren family, who is the younger brother of that Wenren Vice Minister."

Upon hearing this, the eldest prince subconsciously replied, "So, the second branch of the Li family will be on the same side as the Wenren family in the future."

"That's right! At this moment, Minister Wenren is determined to marry Sister Yue, so as long as Sister Yue marries Minister Wenren, everything will be resolved!"

“No, my wife has already clearly refused. We shouldn’t force her to marry Minister Wenren just to deal with the Li family,” the eldest prince said almost without hesitation.

After hearing this, Feng Qi looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"What kind of look is that?"

"Big brother, didn't you ever consider what if Sister Yue herself liked Minister Wenren?"

"Impossible. Because of Minghe's matter, the wife herself has contacted Minister Wenren and has no intention of marrying him. We will no longer encourage the wife to marry."

Feng Qi sighed wearily, not wanting to say anything more, but he also felt that it was a good thing for him that Sister Yue didn't marry another man.
