After a long time, the voice of Prince Jing calling for water was heard from inside.

Rong An frowned and directed the servants to bring in hot water, then quickly sent everyone away.

Who knows if the prince will suddenly get interested in something else while bathing...

However, Prince Jing had obviously had enough of the trouble today. After taking a shower, he returned to the inner room and lazily lay on the bed with freshly changed bedding.

When Jiang Wanyue finished washing and changed into pajamas and came back, King Jing waved to her.

"come over."

Jiang Wanyue walked over as she was told and leaned into his arms.

"Your Majesty, are you in a good mood today?"

Prince Jing hummed.

"There are several good things. Which one do you want to hear?"

Jiang Wanyue blinked her eyes and said, "I will listen to whatever the prince says. But before the prince says anything, let me guess first, okay?"

Prince Jing looked at her with a smile on his face and a look of doting in his eyes that he himself was not even aware of.

"Then guess."

Jiang Wanyue thought about it seriously, and then spoke slowly.

"Is it because of the court affairs? Has the emperor decided to return the military power to the prince? Or have the people who originally supported the prince of Qi turned to you, the prince?"

Prince Jing's eyes widened a little.

"What's wrong with your brain? You guessed it all."

Jiang Wanyue pursed her lips and chuckled.

"It was just luck. I have been keeping a low profile and never made any mistakes in the three years since the prince returned to the capital. I think these are the only things that can make the prince so happy."

Prince Jing couldn't help but hug her and kiss the top of her head.

"If you were a man, I would definitely invite you to be my staff. I see that your Jiang family doesn't have any outstanding children in this generation. It turns out that all the spiritual energy is in you."

Jiang Wanyue pushed him.

"Your Highness, what are you saying? Don't you like the fact that I am a girl?"

Prince Jing actually stroked his chin and began to think seriously.

Finally, he replied directly.

"It's better now."

Prince Jing is not young anymore and has had many women, but the only one who is so compatible with him in bed is Jiang Wanyue.

Prince Jing looked down at Jiang Wanyue with growing interest.

"I am becoming more and more curious about your old man. How could such a rigid person raise a granddaughter like you?"

Jiang Wanyue rolled her eyes.

"Your Highness, you are such a bummer. Why are you mentioning my grandfather at this time? My character was not taught by my grandfather! It was taught by my parents."

"Yes, your father is a very smooth person. It hasn't been long since then, but he has already made contact with his superiors and got clerical positions for himself and his sons."

Jiang Wanyue was delighted to hear that her family was doing well, but she still praised Prince Jing.

"That's all thanks to the prince. Without the prince's relationship, even if my father had supernatural powers, he wouldn't be able to do this."

Prince Jing nodded, then sighed.

"In the past, I was most annoyed by those scholars in the army. They talked a lot of nonsense, but they couldn't even hold a knife, let alone go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. But now I find that scholars kill people without using knives, but they are more ruthless than us warriors."

Jiang Wanyue looked at him in surprise.

"Why do you say that, my lord?"

Prince Jing sat up.

"Do you know who contributed the most to the smooth resolution of the Ministry of War's problems and the tricking of the King of Qi?"

Jiang Wanyue shook her head.

"who is it?"

There was a gleam in Prince Jing's eyes and his eyebrows were raised high.

"Lin Shuyan."

Jiang Wanyue's eyes were shocked and her face was full of disbelief.

"Lin Shuyan? How come?"

"Yes! When he came to me, I didn't believe him. Lin Shuyan was already engaged to the Wei family, and was definitely a member of the Qi family. How could he think of joining me? Several of his staff members also felt that there was something fishy going on and didn't believe him."

When Prince Jing talked about this incident, he still found it a little unbelievable.

"Lin Shuyan didn't explain anything at the time, he just said that he would let me see his determination. Later, he secretly collected a lot of evidence against the officials in the Ministry of War. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to conquer the Ministry of War so quickly. The fact that the King of Qi surrendered so quickly was also due to his hand. The brother-in-law of the Wei family listens to Lin Shuyan very much."

Jiang Wanyue listened in a daze.

This is different from the previous life.

Lin Shuyan did not do these in his previous life, and he did not have the ability to do these.

The Lin family is not a wealthy family.

Lin Shuyan is quite talented and became famous at a young age, but he is only famous in the literary circle.

After passing the imperial examination two years ago, he entered the Hanlin Academy and worked with Lin's father.

The Hanlin scholars were noble and well-known, but they could not get into the center of the court.

In his previous life, Lin Shuyan rose to high positions after marrying Wei and using the Wei family’s connections.

How could Lin Shuyan now think of collecting evidence against those officials in the Ministry of War?

How did he collect that information?

Also, using Wei Chengfeng to influence the King of Qi... this doesn't seem like something Lin Shuyan would do.

Jiang Wanyue frowned.

Something just feels wrong...

Jiang Wanyue didn't think that it was because of her that Lin Shuyan had such a big change.

What happened to him?

After Prince Jing finished talking about Lin Shuyan, he lowered his head and saw the expression on Jiang Wanyue's face, and he paused.

"Why do you look so unhappy when you hear the last name Lin?"

Jiang Wanyue came back to her senses and did not deny it, but spoke frankly.

"I don't like him."

This really surprised Prince Jing.

Jiang Wanyue continued, "I am worried that Your Highness will be deceived by him. Who knows if he is a spy sent to Your Highness by the King of Qi? Maybe the King of Qi is using a self-torture trick to make Lin Shuyan suffer a loss on purpose, just to make him gain your trust. Based on my understanding of the Lin family, Lin Shuyan is not that capable! Your Highness, please be careful."

At the end, Jiang Wanyue showed a look of worry.

"The marriage between the Lin family and the Wei family has been decided. I really can't think of any reason for him to abandon the Prince of Qi and join you, Your Majesty."

Prince Jing looked a little strange.

"You really can't think of it?"

Jiang Wanyue nodded.

Prince Jing muttered, "Isn't this a ready-made reason? He can't let you go."

Jiang Wanyue laughed.

"Your Highness, what are you talking about? How could he do this because of me? If he hates me because of what happened in the past, then that's possible."

Jiang Wanyue didn't believe it.

She didn't believe that Lin Shuyan would give up such a good marriage with the Wei family for her, and she didn't believe that he would give up Prince Qi and turn to Prince Jing for her.

The King of Qi enjoyed extremely high prestige among his civil officials.

In addition to the fact that the King of Qi was the eldest, it was also because the King of Qi had loved literature and painting since he was a child and had a good reputation.

The literati have always looked down upon the warriors, so between the King of Qi and the King of Jing, they naturally prefer the King of Qi.

The Jiang and Lin families are old friends, and the Lin family's ideas and concepts are the same as those of the Jiang family.

Lin Shuyan grew up under such education, how could he suddenly change his mind?

When the Jiang family was in trouble, my father, grandfather, and uncle never had any grudge against the King of Qi. The same was true for my brothers.

Before Jiang Wanyue entered Prince Jing's mansion, no one in the Jiang family had ever thought of supporting Prince Jing.

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanyue was suddenly stunned.

She entered Prince Jing's mansion because of her rebirth. She knew that Prince Jing would eventually defeat Prince Qi and ascend the throne.

Is it the same for Lin Shuyan?
