On the eve of the Empress Dowager's flower-viewing banquet, several people in the imperial capital still had trouble sleeping.

Prime Minister's Mansion, Qi Siyue's boudoir.

"Yuer, did you remember everything your mother said?"

Qi Siyue nodded meekly: "Mother, I've remembered everything."

Prime Minister's wife Wang Jiayuan looked at Qi Siyue deeply and pursed her lips.

How could she not know what her daughter was thinking, but fate was just a trick on her.

"It's late at night, go to bed early."

As soon as Wang Jiayuan left, the smile on Qi Siyue's face gradually disappeared.

And, it got colder little by little.

"Miss……"

Chun Tao, the personal maid, was hesitant to speak.

"You should take a rest too. You don't need to wait on me anymore."

Qi Siyue waved her hand and turned to go to the inner room.

Chuntao quietly left the room and closed the door gently.

Qi Siyue walked to the bed, staggered and sat down beside the bed, holding on to the bed frame.

Two lines of tears quietly slid down her face, and she murmured to herself: "King Yan..."

On that spring afternoon three years ago, she walked into a private room on the third floor of the Yingbin Building, the largest restaurant on Yongqing Road, arranged by her father. She sat in front of the window, looking along Yongqing Road towards the north gate.

She was extremely worried.

I am about to meet him, the young man who is rumored to be most likely to become the crown prince.

She had heard too many rumors about him before.

He became famous at a young age, a child of destiny, King Yan Chu Tiancheng.

Qi Siyue knew since she was old enough to understand that she had been chosen by the head of the family and that she would be the future Crown Princess.

Then, King Yan is her future husband.

"I'm coming!"

"Prince Yan has entered the city!"

As the shouts came one after another, the people standing on both sides of Yongqing Road were in an uproar.

"King Yan, King Yan! King Yan, the god of war!"

"Welcome the triumphant King Yan!"

Qi Siyue leaned over to the window and stared at the young man walking at the front of the team without blinking.

The 20-year-old Chu Tiancheng, dressed in black and riding a snow-white Arabian horse, walked into Qi Siyue's eyes and heart from far away.

He has a straight back, a stern expression and a handsome face, like a god who has fallen into the mortal world to protect all living beings.

Wherever it goes, it will cause noise and commotion.

Qi Siyue was shocked unexpectedly.

Not only was she shocked by Prince Yan's handsome appearance and domineering demeanor, but she was also shocked by the enthusiasm of all the noble ladies in the city.

She did not throw flowers or sachets like other noble ladies, but just watched silently.

This is enough.

Because she knew that King Yan was hers.

As for the other noble ladies, what’s the point of being crazy?

She believed in her grandfather's power and means.

She is the future Crown Princess, and as long as Prince Yan can become the Crown Prince, he will be her husband.

Over the past three years, the call for the Prince of Yan to become the crown prince has continued to grow.

Over the past three years, she has come to care more and more about Prince Yan.

Although she never found an opportunity to get close to King Yan.

Fortunately, no other woman had it either.

Qi Siyue waited patiently for the imperial decree to grant the marriage and for Chu Tiancheng to marry her.

Until three days ago, her father told her about her grandfather's new arrangement: she was going to marry Chu Tianxing, the former Prince Yong and current Crown Prince.

Her beautiful dream was shattered in an instant, the ripples dissipated, and her heart became as calm as still water.

Qi Siyue and Chu Tianxing can be said to be childhood sweethearts.

Concubine Qi often summoned Qi Siyue to the palace, and every time she would meet Prince Yong in the Concubine's palace.

Perhaps it was because they grew up together and were too familiar with each other, Qi Siyue called Tianxing "brother" sweetly, but in her heart she didn't have any feelings for Prince Yong.

Just as Qi Siyue knew from a young age that she would become a crown princess in the future, Chu Tianxing has always aimed to become a crown prince since he was a child.

He was the eldest son of the Eastern Emperor and the first to be crowned king.

He studied hard, read a lot of poetry and books, practiced martial arts diligently, and had great martial arts skills.

He is handsome, elegant, easy-going, generous, good at winning people's hearts and has a very good reputation.

Not to mention that the graceful Concubine Qi was still in great favor with the Eastern Emperor and had done a lot of good things for her son.

If it weren't for the unrest on the border in recent years, if Prince of Yan Chu Tiancheng had not made outstanding military achievements and had risen to prominence, no one among the princes would have been able to suppress Chu Tianxing in the slightest.

Prince’s Mansion, study.

Chu Tianxing and several of his confidants are still in secret discussions.

"Qi Siyue is the only candidate for the Crown Princess. The Prime Minister's Mansion must be tied to me tightly."

There was undisguised greed in Chu Tianxing's eyes.

He had no need to hide his ambitions in front of his confidants, and his ambitions reassured everyone.

When one person is in power, everyone around him will prosper.

The wealth of everyone present here has long been tied to Chu Tianxing.

The Minister of Revenue Wu Congshan smiled flatteringly: "My daughter's position as a concubine..."

"It's a done deal!"

Chu Tianxing nodded respectfully to Minister Wu, "I cannot do without the support of the Ministry of Revenue."

Wu Congshan smiled knowingly and said, "It is my honor to be the prince's money bag."

"Hahaha!"

Chu Tianxing was very satisfied with Wu Congshan, who was obedient, smart, and quick to understand.

Of course, without Chu Tianxing's help, Wu Congshan would not have been able to sit in the position of Minister of Revenue.

"The other concubine of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be..." Wu Congshan asked cautiously.

This is a task assigned by the Madam. I need to find out the news in advance so that my daughter will have an idea.

After entering the palace tomorrow, my daughter can get along well with the concubine as soon as possible.

Chu Tianxing did not hide it, "I am going to give the other concubine position to General Qin's legitimate daughter."

"The eldest daughter who just came back from Mobei?"

"Yes. What do you think is wrong, Minister Wu?"

"I dare not. But I heard that this girl has been staying with her father in Mobei for several years. I am afraid she lacks formal education."

Li Shiwei, the prefect of Jingzhao, bowed to the prince and said, "I heard that General Qin has always raised his daughter in a free-range manner. She has an arrogant and domineering personality and stays away from the circle of noble ladies in the imperial capital. She doesn't have many friends."

"She is not as well-educated and capable as the second daughter of the illegitimate daughter of the general's mansion."

Chu Tianxing waved his hand disapprovingly, "Except for Qi Siyue, other women are not worthy of my attention."

"Even if it's vulgar, so what? What I value is the love that General Qin has for this eldest daughter."

"It's just another woman. I'll keep her in the backyard with good food and drink. The real business is to control General Qin."

Li Shiwei said solemnly, "Your Highness, please tell me clearly how I should cooperate?"

Chu Tianxing suddenly looked gloomy, "Qin Zhong never took sides before, he was only loyal to the emperor."

"It was fine when I was Prince Yong before. But now I am the Crown Prince. If he doesn't know the current situation again, I will definitely be rude to him."

"After the flower viewing banquet tomorrow night, remove the patrols from the section of Huayang Street from Yong'an Road to the General's Mansion."

"I obey your orders."

After seeing off the two adults, Chu Tianxing summoned his personal guard Li Yong and made careful arrangements.

As midnight approached, Chu Tianxing waved away his men and looked at the night outside the window, without moving for a long time.

Those phoenix eyes that looked like those of Concubine Qi were bright and sparkling.

He was ambitious and decisive, and his grandfather's careful training of him was very effective.

24-year-old Chu Tianxing has always been on the established growth path and has never encountered any accidents.
