Soon, the emperor issued an imperial decree to appoint Zhao Zhen as the crown prince.

Perhaps because Qin Wan was dealt with, the time for the Emperor to appoint Zhao Zhen as the Crown Prince was brought forward.

Zhao Zhen was the emperor's eldest son, and no ministers in the court objected.

After all, the emperor's health had become visibly weaker, and his ministers were afraid that if the emperor passed away like this and the crown prince had not yet been decided, the court would be in turmoil again.

The second prince, Prince Ping, has recently had a much more harmonious relationship with some of the officials in the court.

His actions could not be hidden from those who were interested.

After the imperial edict came down, those who remained in Yongchangfang began to prepare to move.

Zhao Zhen had known the news for a long time and was not very affected. These days, apart from investigating the missing treasury silver, he was busy helping Qin Wan take remedial measures.

Not much energy is put into the mansion.

All the concubines in Zhao Zhen's backyard were happy.

Everyone was packing their things with great enthusiasm, preparing to move to the East Palace.

Therefore, every place in the palace was very busy.

On this day, Zhao Zhen, who was promoted to crown prince, came to Yulan Courtyard.

At this time, the servants of Yulan Courtyard were also packing up their things.

Seeing Zhao Zhen coming, he immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Zhao Zhen waved her hand, "You guys keep busy!"

He ignored the other servants and went straight to the inner room.

At this time, the little lion had just woken up from his nap. He heard some noise in the room and ran out.

The little white tiger followed behind him. The little white tiger grew very fast and was much faster than the little lion.

"Dad, dad!"

The little lion called out loudly.

Just as Zhao Zhen was about to hug the little lion, he saw a young white tiger and frowned.

He hadn't come to see the little lion for several days, so he really didn't know there was a tiger here.

The little lion came running over, "Tiger head, this is daddy!"

The little white tiger came up to Zhao Zhen, sniffed Zhao Zhen, and whimpered twice.

Zhao Zhen was not afraid of the little tiger. After all, the white tiger was not yet an adult and he could kill it with just one kick.

But the little lion is so small, and the tiger is a wild beast after all. It would be bad if it hurt the little lion.

Seeing Zhao Zhen staring at Tiger Head, the little lion explained, "Dad, Tiger Head is calling you!

Just promise me!

Oh, by the way, I haven’t told Dad yet that Hu Tou is my younger brother!"

The little white tiger continued to whimper twice and rubbed Zhao Zhen's thigh with its big head.

Zhao Zhen: “….”

Zhao Zhen glanced at the little lion in confusion. Could this kid really understand what the tiger said, or was he just talking to himself?

After a moment, Zhao Zhen thought it was just children playing around.

He teased like a child, "Okay, okay, I'm here!"

Zhao Zhen had no choice but to acknowledge a tiger son.

The little white tiger seemed to understand, and circled around Zhao Zhen several times like a big cat, making a humming sound.

The little lion was even happier when he saw that Zhao Zhen also acknowledged the existence of Tiger Head.

He hugged Zhao Zhen's neck and said, "Dad, why haven't you come to see me for a long time? I miss you so much!"

The little lion is not shy. Since he knows Zhao Zhen is his father, he wants to get close to him.

Zhao Zhen has indeed been busy these days. In addition to dealing with court affairs, he has also been investigating Zhao Nanxiao's youth.

Zhao Zhen felt that his father's behavior was sometimes particularly paranoid.

Perhaps my father was emotionally hurt before he married my mother.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be so controlling about his affairs!

However, the incident happened more than 20 years ago, so it is not easy to investigate.

What's more, he has to hide it from Zhao Nanxiao, so there is still no result yet.

Zhao Zhen rubbed the little lion's head and looked around the house for a while, but didn't see anyone. "Where's your mother?"

The little lion said, "Mom is in the storeroom!"

Zhao Zhen held the little lion in his arms and walked towards the warehouse.

Qin Wan was indeed counting her money. With the help of Eunuch Gao, she had already bought three small shops in the capital, all of which were very inconspicuous.

This was all done in secret, and the shop was not under her name.

After the father and son came in, the little lion shouted, "Mom!"

Qin Wan turned around and saw Zhao Zhen, and she immediately closed the box.

Zhao Zhen: “….”

Zhao Zhen really wanted to say that it was not necessary, as he did not value this little bit of money right now.

"Why are you here free?"

After Qin Wan finished speaking, she used her body to block the boxes.

This is totally a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt!

Zhao Zhen: “.........”

Zhao Zhen glanced at Qin Wan's small body and wanted to say that with your body size, you can't hold those boxes at all.

Qin Wan didn't know what Zhao Zhen was thinking. She felt that it was very dangerous for Zhao Zhen to appear in her warehouse.

This money is her start-up capital, she can't let this bastard take it back.

So she immediately pulled him aside and said, "Come on, let's talk outside! The warehouse is too small and too hot!"

After Qin Wan finished speaking, she fanned herself with her hands, as if she was very hot.

Zhao Zhen: “….”

We are almost ready to prepare winter clothes and charcoal fire, why is it so hot today?

However, seeing Qin Wan's hand holding his arm, Zhao Zhen's mood inexplicably improved.

"Okay, go out and talk!"

As soon as the three of them left the warehouse, Qin Wan locked the door in front of Zhao Zhen with a "click".

"Let's go, let's go back and talk. You came here today specially, is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Qin Wan had heard in the mansion that the national treasury was very poor now, and Zhao Zhen might be very poor too!

Hey, this bastard doesn’t usually come here, why did he suddenly come today?

He probably didn’t see the silver just now!

Well, I have to be careful next time. Money is too tempting.

Especially when you have no money.

Zhao Zhen was pushed away by Qin Wan, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

It seems that Qin Wan, who loves money so much, is not so cold anymore.

Qin Wan, who just returned, is not easy to approach at all.

Thinking back to two years ago, when they had just gotten married, Qin Wan snatched the banknote from him when she offered him tea.

Zhao Zhen felt that he had found what Qin Wan liked.

This woman loves money!

After bringing Zhao Zhen to the hall, Qin Wan sat casually on a chair and said, "Tell me, what brings you here today?"

"It's okay? Why can't I come?" Zhao Zhen asked back.

Qin Wan: “….”

What does this man mean?

Is he interested in me?

Qin Wan shook her head and rejected the idea.

In the past, there were few women in Zhao Zhen’s backyard, and those who were interested in her must be curious women. But now there are so many beautiful women in his backyard, they will not come to her.

Qin Wan didn't want to use the same man as those women.

She laughed awkwardly a few times, "Not really, haha, I still welcome you to come and see the little lion!"

Qin Wan's words have a hidden meaning.

Obviously, Zhao Zhen also heard it.

The corners of his mouth, which were originally slightly upturned, bent downward again and were tightly pursed together.

The little lion sat in Zhao Zhen's arms, "Dad, are you unhappy?"

Zhao Zhen said coldly: "No!"

The little lion looked at Zhao Zhen, then at Qin Wan, wondering why his father, who wanted to laugh just now, was angry again.

Qin Wan felt that Zhao Zhen was moody, so she said with a smile, "Your father is the crown prince, how can he not be happy?"

Zhao Zhen snorted at Qin Wan, "When we move, you take people to make arrangements.

Also, when we get to the Eastern Palace, there will be a banquet, and you have to take care of all these matters!

Don't be like an ostrich and keep your cat in the yard all day!

Pay more attention to the things in the backyard!"

Qin Wan: “….”
