They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.

Jiang Wanyue ate her meal calmly without even raising her eyes.

After finishing her lunch quietly, Jiang Wanyue stood up and said goodbye.

Prince Jing almost couldn't help but ask her to stay.

At the critical moment, he remembered that he had something to do in the afternoon, so he could only touch his chin regretfully and said.

"I'll see you in the evening."

Jiang Wanyue walked to the door, turned around and smiled at him.

"Then I will wait for you, Your Majesty. Please don't break your promise this time!"

After saying that, she left.

This time, Jiang Wanyue left a very deep impression on Prince Jing. Throughout the afternoon, Prince Jing kept thinking about Jiang Wanyue's charming and lovely appearance, which remained in his mind.

So he finished his afternoon work early and went to Wutong Courtyard in advance.

It’s not dark yet!

Prince Jing was like a thief who stole someone's fragrance. He went into someone's boudoir and refused to come out.

The quarrel lasted until midnight.

If Jiang Wanyue wasn't hungry, Prince Jing would not have given up!

The kitchen brought over midnight snacks, all of which were light and easy to digest.

After they finished eating, they couldn't fall asleep for a while, so they sat on the couch and chatted.

I don’t know if it was because Jiang Wanyue performed too well today, but Prince Jing started talking about things in the court.

He now holds a position in the Ministry of War, but because he had conflicts with the ministry in the past, officials at all levels in the ministry are very hostile to him and are unwilling to let him get in touch with core matters.

Even though he is a prince, he is only one person after all. With so many officials in the Ministry of War, they can form a considerable force when they unite.

After Prince Jing beat up a few of the ones who jumped the loudest, the rest of them cowered, and when faced with Prince Jing's requests, they either procrastinated or kept silent, making it impossible for him to get anything done.

For example, recently Prince Jing was assigned the task of preparing winter clothes for soldiers at the borders of various places. However, it was difficult for him to proceed without the cooperation of the people in the Ministry of War.

Winter clothes need to be delivered to various places before the New Year, and there is not much time left.

At the end, Prince Jing started cursing.

"These termites! They only care about the little power in their hands, and never care about the lives of the soldiers on the border! They all deserve to die!"

Jiang Wanyue didn't expect that Prince Jing was so concerned about the work in the Ministry of War.

She originally thought that the princes came to the court to serve as officials just for show, and the specific work was done by the subordinates, but she didn't expect that Prince Jing would do it himself.

She thought about it and asked tactfully.

"Has Your Majesty ever thought of promoting someone from the Ministry of War and giving him this task?"

Prince Jing snorted.

"Give it to them? You don't know that in previous years, winter clothes were supervised by these military termites, but the winter clothes distributed to the soldiers were always in short supply, and many of them were just for show and didn't keep them warm at all."

As he spoke, he sighed.

"The bitter cold at the border is far beyond your imagination. Once, I saw with my own eyes a man who got up in the middle of the night to use the toilet, but froze to death because his clothes got wet by accident. For those termites, these are all money and benefits, but for the soldiers at the border, this may very well be a life!"

Jiang Wanyue's heart suddenly tightened.

She had never seen the situation described by Prince Jing where people froze to death in one night.

But just imagining it makes me feel uncomfortable.

Her family is now suffering at the border.

Jiang Wanyue remained silent and hugged Prince Jing's waist tightly.

She thought of the rumors about Prince Jing that she had heard in her previous life.

It is said that he is cruel and bloodthirsty, does not take human life seriously, and is extremely domineering and does not allow any dissenting voices.

Before he ascended the throne, he killed a large number of officials.

But only some of them are the King of Qi's men.

The rest are said to have suffered innocently.

But now after hearing what Prince Jing said, Jiang Wanyue knew that those people were not really innocent. They must be the termites that Prince Jing was talking about.

"Your Highness, if it really doesn't work, can you send your people to the south to buy? There are many silk merchants in Jiangnan. Even if we can't find a large amount of inventory, we can find some loose goods. Accumulating a little makes a lot, which is always a solution."

Jiang Wanyue tried hard to recall some news she had heard in her previous life.

Unfortunately, she had always stayed in the back house in her previous life and didn't know much about the outside world. Most of what she knew was heard from Lin Shuyan and the mistress Wei.

Prince Jing shook his head.

"This method is not impossible, but time is tight and I don't have that many people at my disposal."

Prince Jing has quite a few subordinates, but they all come from the military. They are good at leading troops in battle, but they are not good at business or purchasing.

There are only a few people who can be used in this regard, and they have all been stuffed into the Ministry of Revenue or other places, and cannot be easily moved.

After listening to this, Jiang Wanyue bit her lip, frowned, and thought for a long time.

Suddenly, she thought of something and raised her head in Prince Jing's arms.

"Your Highness has been at the border for many years and has won so many battles. He must be very familiar with the art of war. Although I don't understand the affairs of the court, I think there are similarities between the two. They are both enemies and we are both fighting for power, but the fighting is not on the surface, but in secret. In this case, why not use the art of war to deal with it?"

Prince Jing's expression brightened, and he sat up with a gleam in his eyes.

Jiang Wanyue also sat up straight and continued speaking.

"Warfare is the art of deception. Therefore, when you are capable, pretend to be incapable; when you are using something, pretend not to be using it; when something is near, pretend it is far away; when something is far away, pretend it is near."

As soon as she finished speaking, Prince Jing took over.

"Lure them with profit, seize them when they are in disorder, prepare for them when they are strong, avoid them when they are strong, frustrate them when they are angry, make them arrogant when they are humble, tire them out when they are idle, separate them when they are close, attack them when they are least prepared, and surprise them when they are least expected..."

As he spoke, the light in his eyes became brighter.

In the end, he jumped off the couch, paced back and forth a few steps, and suddenly burst into laughter.

After laughing, he walked back excitedly, picked up Jiang Wanyue from the couch, and turned around on the spot.

"As expected of Old Man Jiang's granddaughter, she is extremely intelligent. This king has found a treasure."

Jiang Wanyue hugged Prince Jing's neck tightly.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am just a bystander who can see things more clearly. Your Majesty is concerned about the soldiers at the border, so you are confused. I believe that even without my reminder, Your Majesty can break this situation."

This is not her flattery.

Isn’t it the case in the previous life?

At that time, there was no news that Prince Jing was scolded by the Emperor for not doing his job well. I guess a solution was found in the end.

It’s a pity that Jiang Wanyue didn’t know how Prince Jing solved it in his previous life.

Otherwise, a more direct and effective method could be proposed.

Seeing Prince Jing ready to fight, Jiang Wanyue pursed her lips and smiled faintly.

She always remembered her purpose.

Gradually, he strengthened his position in Prince Jing's heart.

How can it be enough to make Prince Jing linger just by having sex?

She wants to become the irreplaceable and unique person in Prince Jing's heart.
