After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

The emperor was pleased, and the empress dowager naturally wanted to reciprocate, so she proposed to reduce Prince Ning's fiefdom by half as a punishment for failing to protect the prince.

The emperor agreed to it, and both parties were satisfied with the matter, so that was it.

As for the Prince of Ning, he was finally released from prison.

The Crown Prince's wife was pregnant, so Princess Ning brought her daughter-in-law to the Imperial Concubine for help, saying that her daughter-in-law was pregnant and she felt uneasy without her son by her side.

The imperial concubine naturally also gained some benefits. With her intercession, the emperor had even exposed the matter of Prince Ning and naturally did not want to hold on to this side. In the end, the princess asked someone to donate five hectares of land to the Ministry of Households, saying that it was to aid the country and pray for the future grandson.

The people from the Ministry of Revenue pleaded for the prince in the court and submitted a memorial. The emperor went along with it and the matter was dropped. So Prince Ning and his son both managed to get through this time.

But the emperor's mind was unpredictable, and he was seriously injured. He had to come to the palace to express his gratitude, and happened to meet the prince today.

The emperor naturally wanted the prince to ease the relationship with them, so he asked him to send them both out of the palace.

It was a gift, but it didn't ease the relationship at all.

After this incident, Prince Ning and his son were very respectful to the prince on the surface, but they were filled with hatred in their hearts.

The three of them arrived at the door at this time and were caught by Fang Nanzhi who had just gotten out of the carriage and was waiting by the side of the carriage.

"hour……"

Just as she was about to advance, she remembered something was wrong and glanced at her master beside her and was about to salute together.

"Forget it."

Qing Yan spoke, and a smile appeared on his face, which had been expressionless all the way.

"When you enter the palace in the future, you don't have to greet anyone except my father, the Empress, and the Queen Mother."

"what?"

Fang Nanzhi blinked, confirming that he was talking to her, but among the people present, she was the only one who had no identity, right?

The big brother next to them who just searched their things is a guard in the palace after all, so he may not be an official of high rank.

She scratched her head and said reluctantly, "Isn't this a bit too arrogant?"

She didn't dare say the second half of the sentence.

Qing Yan pointed to her waist and said, "As long as you have the jade pendant, you can do this."

Fang Nanzhi finally realized what was happening and reached out to touch the jade pendant. "Is it really that powerful? I don't even need to bow to you when I see you..."

As the two of them started chatting, there was no chance of stopping.

"Ahem," Prince Ning coughed twice. "I heard that the Imperial Hospital has some matters to attend to today. I guess Second Elder Zhou came to the palace for this matter."

Since Prince Ning had spoken, they naturally couldn't pretend not to hear and nodded in agreement.

"In that case, you guys can continue chatting with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We, father and son, will leave first."

The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries, and Qing Yan had no intention of seeing them off, so the father and son left quickly, which was just enough to show that they were tactful.

He glanced to the side and asked, "Have you finished checking the body?"

Fang Nanzhi nodded, and Qingyan turned sideways: "Then there is no need to wait for someone to pick you up. I will take you into the palace."

Is this okay?

Fang Nanzhi had already taken one foot forward, but his eyes were looking back and forth between the guard beside him and Mr. Zhou.

The guard quickly extended his hand: "Of course, Mr. Zhou, please, Miss Fang, please."

Fang Nanzhi saw him lowering his head as if he was very nervous, and glanced at Qingyan with some confusion, wondering what he was suddenly nervous about.

But it's nice not to have to wait here.

She immediately followed Qing Yan's footsteps, but before she had gone far, she bumped into the eunuch who came to pick someone up.

He had come in a hurry to begin with, and when he saw that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who had personally brought people into the palace, he felt a chill on his back and was a little nervous when he was performing the ceremony.

Qing Yan stopped and glanced at him: "Since you are here, first send Mr. Zhou to the Imperial Hospital properly."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Fang Nanzhi: "You said you came in a hurry last time. Do you want to take a walk around the palace this time?"

Fang Nanzhi nodded repeatedly, and this time he even forgot to look at his master's expression.

Qing Yan seemed to be in a good mood: "Okay, then I'll take you there."

At this time, Mr. Zhou also cleared his throat and frowned slightly. Seeing Qing Yan looking at him, he spoke: "Isn't this a bit too ostentatious?"

Qing Yan only said three words.

"I am not afraid."

Mr. Zhou didn't say anything more and left with the eunuch. Fang Nanzhi hadn't thought much about it at first, but now walking beside Qingyan, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"From what Master said, isn't it inappropriate for me to tour the palace with you like this?"

Qing Yan lowered his eyes and looked at her: "There's nothing wrong with it. This palace is not something that anyone can wander around casually. If you miss this opportunity, you won't find anyone else to accompany you."

Fang Nanzhi immediately stopped talking: "Then I'll listen to you. Take me around."

Qingyan asked her which place she most wanted to see, and Fang Nanzhi said it was the Imperial Garden.

"I've heard that the Imperial Gardens contain many varieties of flowers and plants that ordinary people have never seen before. I'd like to know if that's true. Especially since some of the things I've read about in books, when I was studying or learning medicine, I always saw them described as tributes from foreign countries, only found in the Imperial Palace. I've been thinking maybe I can see the real thing here."

"Okay, I'll take you to see it."

The two walked to the Imperial Garden, and Fang Nanzhi heard the voice of the system almost as soon as they entered.

[Ding! Found the original green chrysanthemum...]

[Ding! A rare lotus has been found...]

Fang Nanzhi looked at this and that, and the word "want" was almost written on her face.

Qing Yan could see it, so he followed her and said, "If there's anything you particularly like, I can give it to you and have someone transplant it to where you live."

Fang Nanzhi almost didn't hesitate: "Then I want..."

"Your Highness," the eunuch beside them interrupted the conversation with a stiff upper lip. He had to remind them, "The magnolias in this garden are the Imperial Concubine's favorite. His Majesty has already issued an order to hand over all the magnolias in the Imperial Garden to the Imperial Concubine for her care."

Upon hearing this, Fang Nanzhi's smile faded a little. She also wanted the Taiping Flower.

"Forget it, a gentleman doesn't take away what others like, especially since it was given to the imperial concubine by the emperor."

Qing Yan said, "It's okay to give one of them out. Father just gave it to the imperial concubine to take care of. It's just a word. If it really can't be done, I won't give it to you."

The eunuch standing by had already agreed and ordered someone to do it.

Fang Nanzhi now had the same thought as her master. She lowered her voice and said, "You do seem a bit too ostentatious. Isn't it bad to offend the imperial concubine like this?"

Qing Yan chuckled softly, lowered his head, and spoke to her as if in a whisper: "It's okay, they are all bad guys. The Third Princess and the Imperial Concubine were behind Uncle Fang's imprisonment."

Fang Nanzhi's eyes widened.

"They're not collaborating with the enemy. They're just trying to take advantage of the situation. They want General Meng and your second uncle to leave so they can vacate their positions and replace them with their own people."

Fang Nanzhi finally understood what was going on and immediately became furious: "How wicked! How could someone be so mean! Divide it! Give me that Taiping Flower! You can't not give it to me today!"
