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

Xiang Wencai didn't follow.

The princess said to postpone it, so let's postpone it. I'm afraid they have something important to discuss today.

"Don't be so depressed. How about I play some music for you?"

Xiang Wencai turned around and looked at the bulge in the quilt with gentle eyes.

The Princess of Yiyang finally showed her head. She raised her eyes to look at Yibin's bright face, which she never got tired of looking at no matter how long they had been married.

She was like a proud cat, nodding slightly with reserve and pride.

Soon the sound of piano filled the room.

In the front hall, the maids had just served tea when Princess Mingzhu arrived.

Zhu Guanfeng and the two children stood up at the same time and saluted: "Greetings, Grand Princess!"

Princess Mingzhu was supported by someone and walked slowly to the main seat. After she sat down, she said calmly, "No need to be polite."

The three of them then stood up straight.

Zhu Guanfeng came here on orders and took the initiative to speak: "Grand Princess, I'm here to ask you some questions about the Chen Yong case."

Princess Mingzhu's majestic and tolerant eyes fell on him, and she said calmly, "Sit down and talk."

Zhu Guanfeng thanked him and took a seat, but he only sat on one-third of the chair, standing straight.

Fang Nanzhi and his sister also took their seats.

However, Princess Mingzhu was in no hurry to deal with Zhu Guanfeng and looked at the little girl gently.

"Zhizhi, you were just frightened. Why don't you take a rest?"

This is a very natural closeness, the concern and care of the elders for the younger ones.

Although Fang Nanzhi felt that they were not that familiar with each other, she still smiled politely and said, "Thank you for your concern, Grand Princess. I'm fine, but I wonder how the county lady is doing?"

Always show concern in return.

Princess Mingzhu just thought she was considerate.

"The imperial physician has examined her. Yiyang will be fine after some rest. It's all thanks to you for putting aside past grudges and saving her."

There is absolutely nothing wrong with this statement of letting bygones be bygones.

What the Yiyang County Lady did to Fang Nanzhi before was definitely excessive.

"In the future, if you have time, you can come to the princess's mansion more often and play with Yiyang. You two are sisters."

They are sisters by blood, but there is a big age difference between them.

Fang Nanzhi's eyes widened in shock at these words.

No, she and the Princess of Yiyang are not that good, right?

But she came to ask for something, so she couldn't be too blunt and embarrass the Grand Princess.

Therefore, she could only smile shyly.

Princess Mingzhu no longer continued the topic and her eyes fell on the young man who was as tall and straight as a pine tree.

"This child is quite good-looking, worthy of being Zhizhi's brother."

Even with her age and experience, she was still dazzled by the sight of such a young man.

Qin Yan said politely: "My boy Qin Yan, I am sorry for disturbing the Grand Princess by coming here uninvited."

Princess Mingzhu saw that he was neither humble nor arrogant, and that his eyes were very steady and did not move around when he spoke, yet he looked energetic. She knew that this was also an extraordinary child.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that Fang Tong was indeed a blessed man.

Given his status, being able to marry Chen Zixi was a blessing, and later being able to marry a woman like Qian Fengping, who was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, thoughtful, kind and generous, was a second blessing.

A daughter like Zhizhi, who is bright, lively, and innocent, is the third blessing. A stepson like Qin Yan, who is calm, calculating, handsome, and extraordinary, is the fourth blessing.

In a person's life, blessings are limited. People like Fang Tong who can seize every blessing are enviable.

"I heard that you've already passed the imperial examination at such a young age? Are you adjusting to studying at the Imperial College?"

Qin Yan knew in his heart that he was able to gain the favor of the Grand Princess only because of his sister.

He replied in a proper manner, "I was lucky to pass the imperial examination. The teachers at the Imperial College are all knowledgeable and talented, and my classmates each have their own strengths. I still have a lot to learn."

Princess Mingzhu nodded slightly: "He is a child who is neither arrogant nor impetuous."

By the time they finished chatting, Zhu Guanfeng had already quietly drunk half a cup of tea.

Cough, I ate too many burritos this morning and now it feels a bit salty.

"Master Zhu, are you here on official business today, or for personal matters?"

The eldest princess, who had just been so kind to Qin Yan and his sister, suddenly spoke to Zhu Guanfeng in a sharp tone, as if it contained a cold gleam.

If it was an official business trip, it would be against the rules to bring Fang Nanzhi and the others along.

If it was a private matter, there was no need for her, the Grand Princess, to show up in person to meet the Shao Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture.

Zhu Guanfeng bowed and said, "Princess, it's an official errand."

The front hall suddenly became quiet.

Fang Nanzhi noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and was even more afraid that the Grand Princess would still refuse to say anything.

"Grand Princess, I came here on my own initiative."

"I want to know. I'm Chen Zijun's niece. I have the right to know."

The little girl's words were very bold, and seemed to be questioning the Grand Princess.

Zhu Guanfeng secretly winked at her, asking her to be more restrained and tactful.

No, isn’t it better for the younger generation to ask the elders to do something by acting coquettishly and cutely?

This little girl looks soft, but her character is too tough.

Princess Mingzhu met the little girl's stubborn eyes and knew her attitude without her saying anything.

Just as Zhu Guanfeng said, the situation had changed and she really didn't intend to keep the little girl out of this matter anymore. It was too late.

"Well, what do you want to know?"

Fang Nanzhi's heart skipped a beat as he heard a different answer for the first time.

Her eyes lit up and she had a lot to ask, but the surprise came so quickly that she didn't know how to start.

Zhu Guanfeng seized the opportunity and asked, "May I ask, Grand Princess, where did you get the evidence you produced back then?"

Princess Mingzhu suddenly sighed.

"Crack!"

Outside, raindrops fell one after another, making noises as they landed on the ground.

Soon, the rain became continuous and the sky became foggy.

Princess Mingzhu's gaze was empty and distant. Who knew where her thoughts had drifted to? Then, as time went by, they gradually returned to their place.

"I found it in the study of the Chen Mansion."

The weather was very good that day, a hot summer day. Princess Mingzhu had just become pregnant. Everyone in the Chen family took it very seriously and wished she would do nothing and have a good rest.

But Princess Mingzhu couldn't stay idle. She was served by her maids and wanted to go to the study to find some interesting books.

The study in the Chen Mansion was where Chen Zijun handled official business, read books and practiced calligraphy.

After the marriage, the study was divided into two parts, one side was Chen Zijun's collection of books, and the other side was the eldest princess's.

The books they like to read are quite different.

Chen Zijun read history books, geographical records, etc.

The eldest princess likes to read poetry collections, travel notes and storybooks.

Although they have different ambitions, they often sit in a chair with a book in hand, drinking tea, and find peace in the room.

That day, Princess Mingzhu went to the study and found something wrong.

There was a row of bookshelves, which were a bit messy, and a few books had fallen off.

Princess Mingzhu was a little displeased, thinking that a servant had come in secretly, or someone had broken in.
