After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

The prince raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Do you think she would be so stupid?"

"Compared to her biological father, she's not that stupid, but she's a little too smart for her own good."

Marquis Yong'an looked at the pink figure standing in the small garden of the East Palace in front of him, his big eyes filled with contempt.

This stupidity is only compared to Bai Yanlang. Compared with others, it is really not presentable.

"Your Highness."

Bai Yaoyao saw the prince coming towards her with his hands behind his back from afar, and a smile instantly spread across her face. She held up the hem of her skirt and trotted towards the prince like a butterfly.

A smile as gentle as water bloomed on the prince's lips, and his narrow peach blossom eyes were filled with a sickening look of doting.

"It's still cold in March, why are you wearing so little?"

He immediately ordered the maid beside him, "Go, bring a cloak to Miss Bai."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

Bai Yaoyao lowered her eyelashes and smiled shyly.

The prince's lips were curved as if they were measured with a ruler. "Why did you come to the palace to see me today?"

"It's okay," Bai Yaoyao's cheeks flushed, "I just finished drawing the jewelry designs, and I want to show them to Your Highness."

The prince's eyes lit up, and his voice became gentler, "It's my fault. I've been too busy these days and can't spare the time, so I have to ask you to deliver it in person."

Marquis Yong'an, who was standing by, looked at Bai Yaoyao's pretentious appearance and curled his lips in disdain.

He spoke to break the sticky pink atmosphere, "Don't stand here in the sun, let's go inside and talk."

He took the lead and went to the prince's study first.

He had no interest in women's clothes and jewelry. Instead, the prince sat on the chair, looking at the pattern that Bai Yaoyao brought over, his eyes full of amazement.

He grew up in the palace, and he could tell at a glance that each piece of jewelry was a fine piece!

If this is made, business will surely be booming!

"Your Highness, do you think these patterns would be popular if they were made into jewelry?"

Bai Yaoyao sat aside, holding a teapot and filling the prince's teacup with tea. Seeing the light in the prince's eyes, she deliberately blinked her wet eyes at him and asked timidly.

"These jewels are no less valuable than those in the palace. If they are made, they will surely sell like hot cakes!"

The prince looked up at her, met her expectant gaze, and praised her generously, "You are so talented, I underestimated you."

"It's good enough that I can help His Highness make money. Yaoyao only knows a few tricks, which is not worth mentioning."

Marquis Yong'an knows the prince best, and he is truly happy when he smiles.

He walked to the desk curiously, picked up a pile of jewelry patterns next to the prince, and flipped through them page by page, but could not tell the difference between beauty and ugliness.

"These women's things all look the same, how can you tell which is good or bad?"

"Every profession has its own expertise. If you don't understand, don't comment on it casually." The prince looked up at him, "Take it and ask someone to make it. From now on, all matters related to the shop will be handed over to Yaoyao. Follow her instructions on everything."

It was just a shop, and Yong'an Hou didn't care. "I'll have someone give her the seal of the shop when I get back."

"Yaoyao will definitely live up to your highness's expectations."

Bai Yaoyao made a few polite remarks before telling him about Bai Yanlang.

"I don't know who my father offended. Today, the emperor took off his official hat and drove him out of the palace." She looked at the prince and asked softly, "Does your highness know what my father did wrong?"

The prince touched the tip of his nose, picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of tea.

Yong'an Hou threw the pile of jewelry patterns casually, and they slammed heavily on the table with a "bang".

He snorted coldly and said contemptuously: "Your father is an idiot. He doesn't know whether to live or die. If we don't deal with him now, he will be a hidden danger of disaster in the future!"

"Your Highness, you..."

Bai Yaoyao always thought that it was the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion who was behind the incident, but she didn't expect that it was the Crown Prince who had Bai Yanlang's official hat taken off.

There was surprise on her face, but no anger.

The prince put down the teacup and looked at her with a gentle smile, "Just let your father stay at home to cultivate his character for the time being. Later... I will definitely find him a good job."

"Everything is subject to your Highness's arrangements."

The prince said a few words to Bai Yaoyao and then sent him away. In the room, Yong'an Hou sat on a chair and asked with a smile, "When did Your Highness become friends with Liu Yushi?"

The prince paused while drinking his tea, "Didn't you arrange for Censor Liu?"

“No.” Yong’an Hou was stunned for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said in annoyance: “Damn it, I got blamed for nothing by the Zhenguogong Mansion!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu San walked in quickly.

Yong'an Hou raised his eyes to look at him, "Has there been any bad news from the Zhenguogong Mansion?"

"Bai Youyou is fine, but has suffered a great crime." Zhu San's face was heavy, "Your Highness, the magic powder placed in the villa was found by Jingzhao Yin!"

The prince's expression suddenly darkened, "Didn't I ask you to handle it?"

"When I went there, I didn't know who had put the things in the secret room in the courtyard next door."

Zhu San's forehead was covered with sweat. He went to the secret room to get the magic powder as soon as he arrived at the villa last night, but the things in the secret room had already been taken away.

After he killed Ding Zhen, he hid on the roof until Xu Lingyun's men found the Immortal Powder, and he immediately came back to report.

"Why would Xu Lingyun go to the villa next door to search?"

Yong'an Hou was horrified. He stood up from his chair in shock. "Didn't they say that he wasn't given the Immortal Powder? How did he get the Immortal Powder?"

The prince's face turned pale and his thin pink lips were tightly pursed into a line.

His eyes moved rapidly, and after a moment, he asked in a cold voice, "Did Ding Zhenke silence us?"

"already dead."

"What about the rosters?"

"The rosters have all been burned by Ding Zhen."

Upon hearing this, the prince's tense nerves relaxed.

Ding Zhen had been in charge of the affairs of the villa from the very beginning, and the Immortal Powder was also purchased by him. Fortunately, he had never shown up, so even if something happened, it would not be his fault.

Marquis Yong'an drooped his eyelids and his hands unconsciously clenched under his wide sleeves.

The prince noticed his abnormality, and thinking of the possibilities, he asked sternly: "Uncle, have you been to the Villa?!"

"I've been there a few times."

Marquis Yong'an looked away, not daring to look him in the eye, and stammered in a low voice.

"How many times?" The prince knew what kind of person his uncle was. He gnashed his teeth and said, "I think you think the villa is your Yong'an Marquis Mansion!"

“Really only been there a few times...”

Marquis Yong'an met the prince's sinister eyes, his voice became lower and lower, and he could not utter any words to argue in the end.

The prince's gums creaked and his eyes were filled with disappointment as he looked at Marquis Yong'an.

"Did I warn you not to go to Yaochi Villa?"

"My uncle was confused for a moment..."

Marquis Yong'an bowed his head and admitted his mistake. Outside the study, Princess Suhua's anxious voice came in.

"Prince, Lord Marquis, Jingzhao Yin sent someone to arrest Hui'er!"
