After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

Changning anxiously watched his brother and Concubine De quarreling, and hurriedly said, "Brother, I..."

Shen Yanli glanced at her lightly.

Changning was frightened by her brother's cold eyes, and saw Ye Qingyu gently shaking her head at her.

Changning lowered his head in grievance, woooo, his brother’s eyes were so cold just now, so scary!

Shen Yanli said firmly, "Please allow me, father."

Emperor Jingyou was conflicted.

It wasn't that he needed to sacrifice his daughter's marriage for anything, but rather, there hadn't been an imperial decree like this since the founding of Daqing. If he set a precedent, then in the future...

Shen Yanli seemed to understand his dilemma. "Father, I know you care about us. Even when you grant us a marriage, you will ask for our opinion. You will choose a husband for Changning in the future. If she doesn't want to, you will not force her. I am asking for this imperial edict to comfort Changning. Only those present here today know this, so we don't have to worry about what others say."

The emperor was mainly afraid that those censors who were looking for trouble would make endless memorials because of this matter.

"It's not impossible to do so."

Shen Yanli glanced at Changning, raised his head and bowed joyfully, "Thank you, father."

Changning's little head instantly understood the meaning of his brother's look, and then he excitedly bowed to thank him, "Thank you, father, for loving Changning. You are the best."

Emperor Jingyou returned to Yonghe Palace, wrote the imperial edict, and issued it. Everyone else left, but Shen Yanli and Ye Qingyu remained in Yonghe Palace.

Emperor Jingyou looked at him in confusion, "Why don't you leave?"

Shen Yanli smiled and said, "Father, since you care so much about Changning, why not let her leave the palace and start her own household? Now that her engagement is over, it's unknown when she'll get married. She's been stuck in the palace for over a decade. Let her leave early to relax and unwind."

Emperor Jingyou glared at him, "Asshole! You're not done yet, are you?"

Ye Qingyu hurriedly bowed and gently comforted Emperor Jingyou, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu also cares about his sister."

Ye Qingyu glanced at Shen Yanli tenderly and said softly, "Your Highness knows that the imperial edict he asked for Princess Changning was just an imperial edict. Given Princess Changning's personality, even if the time came for her to use that imperial edict, she wouldn't use it."

"Your Majesty, Princess Changning is your daughter. You know how kind she is. That's why Your Highness wanted to ask for some tangible benefits for your sister who has suffered so much injustice."

Ye Qingyu sighed softly, "Please don't be angry with His Highness. His Majesty is the best father and must have thought of how to compensate Princess Changning. It's Your Highness who brought this up unnecessarily."

Ye Qingyu put the hat of the most philanthropic father on Emperor Jingyou's head. Even though Emperor Jingyou had never thought about compensating Changning, he had to do it now.

He coughed lightly in a serious tone and glared at Shen Yanli, "Humph, look at you, you don't understand my heart as well as Qingyu. Changning is also my daughter, how could I really wrong her!"

Shen Yanli took advantage of the situation and said, "I was not considerate enough. I thank you on behalf of Changning!"

"Father, how are you going to compensate Changning?"

Emperor Jingyou thought for a moment and said, "Since you, as an elder brother, have said so, I will fulfill your wish to protect your sister and allow Changning to leave the palace and start her own household."

"Give her a princess's palace, the one next to your Prince Chu's palace."

Shen Yanli hurriedly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Father!"

Emperor Jingyou glared at him and waved his hands irritably, "Alright, get out of here!"

"My son, please retire!"

After they left Yonghe Palace, they went to tell Princess Changning the good news. She happily hugged Shen Yanli and acted coquettishly, "Brother, you are so kind. Having a brother like you is definitely a blessing that I have cultivated for three lifetimes!"

Upon hearing the news, Concubine Xian was also delighted. "You should thank your brother. You are the first princess of Daqing to receive this."

Chang Ning looked at Shen Yanli with sparkling eyes, smiling like a flower, "Brother, I'll make you something delicious to thank you."

She stood up and said, "I'll go right away, brother. Don't leave. Let's have dinner here tonight!" Changning walked out of the room quickly and went to the small kitchen, as if she was going to show all her skills.

Shen Yanli knew that she was happy and didn't want to reject her, so he stayed and enjoyed the dinner prepared by Changning together.

At this time, inside Yonghe Palace, Lord Cao reported to Emperor Jingyou with a serious face, "Your Majesty, something happened in Kyoto!"

Emperor Jingyou, who was reading the memorial, looked gloomy and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The Fifth Prince received news that someone had anonymously reported the Luzhou prefect for corruption and bribery. The Fifth Prince had the person locked up and taken to Kyoto. However, upon arriving there, the person cried out in injustice and even crashed to death at the palace gate!"

"And the so-called evidence of corruption and bribery against the Luzhou prefect is all false. The Luzhou prefect was an honest and good official who loved the people. He governed Luzhou well and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Now, the people of Luzhou heard that the prefect was wrongfully killed, and hundreds of them brought a petition to the Imperial Palace, demanding to file a complaint with the Emperor!"

After hearing what Lord Cao said, Emperor Jingyou's face instantly turned dark, "This useless thing!"

Lu Xiang's eyes were slightly cold, and his voice was indifferent, "The Fifth Prince is still too young to experience things. He was used as a knife by someone, and he even got himself into trouble."

"I know this Luzhou prefect. He's very capable and honest. He's also stubborn, but very capable. Over the years, the people of Luzhou have lived in peace and prosperity under his administration, and it's become a wealthy place."

Emperor Jingyou snorted coldly, "Someone has set their sights on the position of Luzhou prefect."

"Your Majesty said so."

Emperor Jingyou threw the memorial in his hand onto the table and shouted angrily, "Return to the palace tomorrow!"

Since Emperor Jingyou suddenly wanted to return to the palace, those who had followed him out of the capital naturally had to follow him back.

The Empress Dowager would stay in Canghua Mountain for three months every year and would only return to the palace when the weather in Kyoto cooled down.

Sitting in the carriage again, Chang Ning felt a little reluctant to leave. "He said he would stay for a month, but he's already gone back after only half a month. What a pity!"

Looking at the listless Changning, Ye Qingyu could only soothe her softly, "Something big must have happened in Kyoto, forcing His Majesty to return. Your Highness, there's no need to feel bad. Since His Majesty has promised you to leave the palace and start your own residence, it will be easy for you to leave the palace again after you return."

"Once your Highness's Princess Mansion is renovated and moved out of the Imperial Palace, you will be free."

When Princess Changning mentioned about leaving the palace to set up her own residence, she became excited. "Yes, I have to plan and design my own residence carefully. I will live there until I grow old."

Ye Qingya suddenly asked, "By the way, big sister, is your princess still not repaired?"
