A worker with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan travels back in time to ancient times and becomes a pri

Xia Taoyuan didn't know that Long Yan, who was beside Chu Xingluo, was secretly escorting them. When she heard Yu'er say that she and Zhu'er had already eaten, she felt relieved.

The three of them passed by a shop called Qiluo Cloth Shop. Xia Taoyuan walked past it and then turned back. She entered the shop and asked Yu'er and Zhu'er to pick out a piece of cloth they liked, and then picked out two pieces for Cui'er and the new maid who was about to arrive. Yu'er and Zhu'er were very happy.

Xia Taoyuan picked out a piece of crimson satin. It was a matter of reciprocity. Mrs. Wei had given her gold and silver jewelry, so she should also express her gratitude.

When the shopkeeper saw that Xia Taoyuan had chosen red brocade, he praised her for her good taste. Taoyuan knew that he was trying to get a good price, so she didn't say anything. After all, she didn't know the market conditions here, so she was sure to be ripped off.

She asked the shopkeeper if he could make clothes. The shopkeeper smiled brightly when he saw this big customer. He quickly replied, "What kind of clothes do you want? As long as you want it, there is nothing we can't make!"

Xia Taoyuan smiled and said, "My brother's birthday is coming up soon, and I want to give him a set of clothes as a surprise. So I want the shopkeeper to make a set of clothes for young men."

Zhu'er and Yu'er were looking at Xia Taoyuan curiously. The young master's birthday was in the twelfth lunar month, and the prime minister's mansion held a celebration for him every year. They didn't know what the young lady was doing.

The shopkeeper naturally agreed happily. Xia Taoyuan said that her brother was thin and about the same height as her, so she asked the shopkeeper to measure her body shape. After the measurement, she asked the shopkeeper to make two slightly smaller sets of men's coarse cloth clothes. After agreeing on a time to pick up the goods, the three of them left.

When they returned to the Xiangfu, the housekeeper had sent the newly bought maid, a 13-year-old girl named Dai'er. Xia Taoyuan liked her very much. She asked Zhu'er to divide the jewelry and cloth she bought among them. Several maids chattered happily beside them, and Xia Taoyuan went upstairs to take a nap.

Chu Xingluo and Qingyun returned to Prince Jing's Mansion. Soon Long Yan also came back. He reported to them that Xia Taoyuan went to the cloth shop to make men's clothing.

"Got it." Chu Xingluo's voice was exceptionally cold.

Qingyun scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Your Highness, are you really not going to tell the Emperor? Although Wei Mingcheng is a loyal man, he is deceiving the Emperor by getting an outsider to replace Miss Wei. If the matter is exposed, I am afraid that you will also be implicated."

Chu Xingluo remained silent. Long Yan suddenly spoke up: "How do we tell the emperor? Right Prime Minister Mu Huairen and Left Prime Minister Wei Mingcheng have always been at odds. If he gets hold of something against Prime Minister Wei, even if the emperor wants to protect him, Wei Mingcheng's position as Prime Minister will be in jeopardy. Mu Huairen will definitely not miss this opportunity to promote his cronies. Then, Your Highness will..."

Long Yan didn't finish his words. Qingyun actually understood that Mu Huairen had always been very close to King Xuan, and there were also rumors that Mu Huairen intended to marry his daughter Mu Yanran to King Xuan. The emperor had not yet appointed a crown prince. If all the ministers in the court became Mu Huairen's followers, there was no guarantee that the emperor would not listen to one side and believe it.

When the emperor arranged a marriage for Prince Jing, he heard that it was the daughter of Prime Minister Wei, and he had no objection. Wei Mingcheng was a loyal person who served the country and the people. There was another important reason. Wei Mingcheng and General Lu Ting were very close. The two had known each other since childhood and had a deep relationship. If he married Wei Zhiying, it would mean that he had the support of the left prime minister and the general.

Long Yan and Qing Yun looked at Chu Xingluo at the same time, but there was no expression on the master's face, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking at the moment.

In fact, a few days ago, after the emperor arranged a marriage between Prince Jing and Wei Zhiying, Chu Xingluo couldn't sleep one night, so he went out for a walk with Qingyun and Longyan, and they actually wandered to the Prime Minister's Mansion without any purpose. Qingyun and Longyan instigated their master to go see the future princess, and the usually calm Prince Jing secretly climbed over the wall for the first time in his life.

When they arrived at Yingyuan, Chu Xingluo happened to see Wei Zhiying sneaking down the stairs. He was curious and wondered where the young lady from the prime minister's mansion would go so late at night. So he secretly followed Wei Zhiying.

Unexpectedly, the daughter of the prime minister stayed up late at night to meet her lover in the garden. Chu Xingluo left quietly after listening to a few words.

After returning to Prince Jing's mansion, Chu Xingluo calmly told what he had seen and heard. Qingyun and Long Yan could not sit still. How could their master bear such injustice? They wanted to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to ask for an explanation in the middle of the night. However, the two were still rational. They knew that if the matter got out of hand, someone would die, so they kept quiet.

Chu Xingluo pretended that nothing had happened. After all, he and Wei Zhiying had only met a few times and had never spoken to each other. He wanted to see how Wei Mingcheng would handle it, so he sent Qingyun and Long Yanshi to check on the situation from time to time.

The night Wei Zhiying and Xia Boqing left, Long Yan happened to go to the Prime Minister's residence. He hid in the dark and witnessed everything.

After Chu Xingluo learned about what happened, he stopped sending Qingyun Longyan to the Prime Minister's Mansion and just waited and watched. However, he was also curious about how someone who looked exactly like Wei Zhiying suddenly appeared.

I didn't expect to meet this person pretending to be Wei Zhiying when I went to the reception building today. He didn't expose her, so he just let it go.
