Shangguan Qingge and Dong'er changed into their original clothes in the car on the way back. Yun Tong dropped them off and then went back to the palace. However, when they came back, they saw a group of people who made them unhappy.

In the hall, the old lady, Shangguan Jin, Liu, Shangguan Qingyun and the prince were all there, and next to the prince stood an old man with a white beard.

"Qingge, where have you been? Come over and meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Shangguan Jin said unhappily.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince!"

There was no emotion in Shangguan Qingge's tone, it was just a polite greeting, but there was a hint of amusement in Beichenhao's eyes. He looked at Shangguan Qingge, and she was indeed good-looking. Shangguan Qingge used to be pale and thin, but now she has gained some weight. Plus, girls of fourteen or fifteen or sixteen are indeed in the best age of puberty. Why didn't he realize that Shangguan Qingge was so beautiful before? Although Shangguan Qingyun was also good-looking, she was only eleven years old after all, still a little young.

"Well, cousin Qingge, I came here today because my father said yesterday that he wanted Lord Shangguan to find a teacher for you. I happened to have a good candidate by my side, so I introduced him here today. I hope you can study hard and learn calligraphy."

Huh? What the hell? Shangguan Qingge was stunned. This guy actually hired a teacher for him! And looking at his expression, something was wrong! She remembered that this prince never even looked at her before.

Shangguan Qingyun on the side had a very unhappy expression. Ever since her cousin the Crown Prince came in, he started asking Shangguan Qingge where she had been without even saying a few words to her. It was obvious that he was here to look for Shangguan Qingge. She cursed Shangguan Qingge a thousand times in her heart, calling her a bitch and a vixen!

"Please, sir, my father will do this. I'm afraid it's not good for Your Highness to do this!"

"There's nothing wrong with it. We are relatives after all. I am only trying to help her. Besides, cousin Qingge will marry into the royal family in the future. How can she not know poetry and literature?"

"What the prince said seems to make sense. If my father has no objection, then I have no objection either!" Studying is easy. When she was in school, she was best at making the teacher angry. It was common for her to be criticized in the office! She didn't believe that she couldn't get rid of this teacher!

"Master, I will trouble you from now on!"

The prince said respectfully to the white-bearded old man.

"Your Highness, you are welcome. It is my honor to teach the princess how to read and write!" The old man also said respectfully to the prince. Shangguan Qingge rolled his eyes. Such pretentious and hypocritical people are really annoying!

"Where did cousin Qingge go to play today?" The prince was still as elegant as ever, his expression full of tenderness.

"Oh! I went to find Bei Yunchen. He wanted to talk to me about something!"

"Qingge, how can you, a girl, go to see a man? Even if you two are engaged, you can't meet in private. This is too against the rules!"

Shangguan Jin was furious when he heard this. Even if his daughter was engaged to the king, meeting a man in private was not something a woman should do. If outsiders knew about it, where would his face be!

"Father, we just want to meet each other. Besides, it's broad daylight and we are not meeting alone, so why not?"

"Hey, Lord Shangguan, cousin Qingge is now at an age where she is playful. Please don't be too harsh on her!"

"This... Your Highness, it is because I have been too spoiled by my daughter that she has become like this. Please do not blame me, Your Highness."

Huh? Shangguan Qingge seemed to have heard a joke. Too spoiled? It means not caring at all! What is spoiled? It means pampering without any bottom line. How can this scumbag father have the nerve to say such a thing!

"No problem! I would like to know how Cousin Qingge feels about my fifth brother!" the prince asked in an inquiring tone.

"Bei Yunchen! He's doing fine. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really cares about his brother."

"Bei Yunchen is my brother, so I naturally have to care about him. I also have to love his wife."

Bei Yunhao always had a smile on his face, which made Shangguan Qingge feel uncomfortable, and his eyes looked like he was looking at a thing in his pocket.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness!"

"Lord Shangguan, could you please let me have a few words with the princess alone?" The prince called Shangguan Qingge the princess at this time, which meant that they were going to have a conversation as royal family members. Shangguan Jin had been an official for many years, so how could he not understand? He tactfully dismissed everyone, leaving only Shangguan Qingge and Bei Yunhao.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince only left me here, what can I do for you!"

"I heard that my cousin is Master Yuan Yu's apprentice?"

"Your Highness, your cousin is Shangguan Qingyun, not me. I hope Your Highness can tell the difference clearly, otherwise your cousin will cause trouble to me again." She saw Shangguan Qingyun's unhappy expression just now, and she was afraid that she thought that she had some unclear relationship with Bei Yunhao.

"It doesn't matter. Has my cousin decided that he is the fifth brother?"

"What? You have an objection? Can I say no to a marriage granted by the Emperor?"

"If my cousin doesn't want to, I can go talk to my father."

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Your Highness, but I think this marriage is fine!"

"Think carefully, cousin. Although the fifth prince commands a large army, he has no power. The situation in the court is not in his favor. He is not a good man." As he spoke, Bei Yunhao approached Shangguan Qingge. He was much taller than Shangguan Qingge. Behind the screen, there was a pair of eyes watching. From this angle, it looked like Bei Yunhao was kissing Shangguan Qingge. His hands were clenched so tightly that his nails were almost embedded in the flesh.

Shangguan Qingge raised her head and looked at him with a chuckle.

"Oh? Then who do you think this good man is, Your Highness?"

"If my cousin is willing, when he inherits the throne, he will give her a life of wealth and happiness." As he spoke, he gently lifted Shangguan Qingge's chin.

"Why didn't I realize before that my cousin is so beautiful!"

Shangguan Qingge shook his head.

"How can Your Highness make your subject rich, prosperous and happy for the rest of her life?"

"I am naturally better than the fifth brother, whether in talent, appearance, or family background. From yesterday's palace banquet, I know that my cousin is a smart woman. I hope you can make the right choice."

"I am indeed a smart man. I will consider the Crown Prince's opinion."

"I hope my cousin won't keep me waiting too long!" After saying that, the prince left.

A word appeared in Shangguan Qingge's mind: Xiatou Puxinnan!

If he had a better family background than Bei Yunchen, she would admit it! After all, Bei Yunchen's maternal grandfather had long since passed away, and so had his mother. He only had a father who was an emperor, but the emperor had more than one son. Bei Yunhao also had a mother who was a queen, and a maternal grandfather who was the left prime minister! But she really wouldn't admit that she was better than Bei Yunchen in terms of talent and appearance! Where did this confidence come from? Bei Yunchen's appearance was much better than his! Bei Yunhao could only be said to be not ugly, but definitely not a handsome guy!

In the carriage, Bei Yunhao was still thinking about Shangguan Qingge, and the guard beside him asked.

"Your Highness, aren't you afraid that Miss Biao will be angry if you do this?"

"My father let Bei Yunchen take charge of the refugees in the capital so that Bei Yunchen could win the hearts of the people. This is obviously because he is afraid of me, my grandfather and my great-grandfather's family. It is obvious that he wants to help Bei Yunchen. Although Bei Yunchen is close to the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion, there is no blood relationship. But Shangguan Qingge is different. The old Marquis Zhenbei doted on his little daughter, so he naturally loves this granddaughter as well. If Shangguan Qingge follows me, the military power in Bei Yunchen's hands can be used by me!"

"But, the Queen said that my cousin is destined to be a phoenix. I'm afraid my cousin will be unhappy with you for treating Shangguan Qingge like this!"

"So what if she is dissatisfied? Since she is the daughter of the Phoenix, she should understand that if she is to be the emperor, then I naturally cannot have only her as my woman! Qingyun still has four years to go before she reaches the age of marriage. A lot of things will happen in four years. Do I have to wait forever?"

"It's my subordinate who talks too much!"

"Forget it, let's go to the Japanese Palace and buy some small gifts to please Qingyun. Girls like men to please them, don't they? "

"Yes!"

"By the way, have you found out how Bei Yunchen escaped from the bandit's lair?"

"It's my incompetence. I haven't figured out who saved Bei Yunchen yet. But I checked the bodies of the bandits. There are several horrible holes on each of them. It looks like they were pierced by something, and it was a continuous attack!"

"Could it be done by Zhenbei Hou's people?"

"No, the letter sent by Deputy General Zhang said that at that time, all the people of Zhenbei Marquis were in the army and no one went out!"

"Okay, got it, let's continue checking!"

"Yes!"
