After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

The owner of Wanfu Restaurant had reserved a private room for Ye Qingyu for a long time. After the three of them arrived, they went straight into the private room on the second floor.

Although Boss Wan did not recognize Changning, he recognized Shen Yanli. A princess and a prince, the person who could be with these two must be of extraordinary status. The boss saluted respectfully and ordered food for them personally.

It was the first time that Changning was able to leave the palace freely and play on her own. She was curious about everything, including the various dishes in Wanfu Restaurant, and soon ordered a lot.

Shen Yanli and Ye Qingyu did not stop her and just watched her happily order dishes.

Before long, all the dishes were served and the table was full.

It was already noon, and Changning was already hungry. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating. "Brother, Qingyu, you guys can help yourselves. I'll eat first."

Since they were all his closest relatives, Changning didn't follow so many rules and just started eating by himself.

Shen Yanli and Ye Qingyu looked at each other, smiled, and started eating.

For a moment, the room was so quiet that only the sound of chewing remained.

At this moment, a voice, neither loud nor soft, suddenly rang out from the private room nearby. "I heard that Your Majesty already has a candidate for Princess Kang in mind?"

"Is this true? Who told you that?"

"Don't ask me that. Do you know who this Princess Kang is?"

"who is it?"

"Haha, you definitely can't guess. Well, I have to say, our Majesty is very concerned about His Royal Highness Prince Kang. I heard that she is the daughter of the Minister of War!"

"Isn't the daughter of the Minister of War already engaged?"

"You're behind the times. You should have withdrawn a long time ago. I heard that the young master had a mistress outside and they had a child. The Shangshu's wife happened to see them. How could he not withdraw after such a situation?"

"Of course I have to withdraw. Originally, the eldest prince returned with great merit, and I thought the position of crown prince would be his. I didn't expect that His Majesty would still favor Prince Kang."

"After all, she has always been in front of my eyes, so I have to pamper her more. And Concubine Liu is also favored."

"Alas, what a pity for the eldest prince..."

After a moment of silence, the two men suddenly burst into laughter. "Let's not talk about that. Let's drink!"

Princess Changning was enjoying her meal, and judging from her expression, she might not have heard what the two people had just said.

Shen Yanli and Ye Qingyu looked at each other and said, "Mo Shu, go and take a look."

Mo Shu took the order and went out. He came back in a few moments later and whispered, "Princess, Prince, the people in the private room next to us are still drinking, but the person who came out of the room to the left of that private room is His Royal Highness Prince Ding."

Ye Qingyu and Shen Yanli's expressions froze.

"Oh, I see."

After lunch, the three of them went directly to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

At this time, little An An had just finished her meal and was full of energy. Princess Changning was also a child, so she ran to the garden to play with An An.

Ye Qingyu and Shen Yanli went to the Duke of Zhenguo's study.

Seeing that both of them looked unhappy, the Duke felt that something big must have happened.

"Your Highness, Qingqing, what happened?"

Although Ye Qingyu didn't feel well, she didn't know what exactly happened. She looked at Shen Yanli in confusion.

Shen Yanli's handsome face was unusually cold, "My people didn't find the bodies of the 50,000 soldiers from Nanyue that Shen Ye mentioned in the Miyun Valley in the southwest!"

Ye Qingyu was confused for a moment. She had not read the contents of Shen Ye's memorial to Emperor Jingyou, and was a little confused by Shen Yanli's words, but the Duke of Zhenguo had read it, and his expression changed suddenly.

"There's no body!"

Shen Ye wrote in his memorial at that time that it was because he had killed 50,000 elite soldiers of the Nanyue Kingdom in Miyun Valley that the Nanyue Kingdom lost its momentum the moment it was defeated.

South Vietnam had 100,000 troops guarding the border, but Shen Ye used a trick to kill 50,000 of them, instantly losing half of their troops and greatly reducing their strength. This led to this peace talk.

Even the people of Nanyue couldn't possibly take back all the 50,000 corpses. Besides, how could there be no corpses?

Shen Yanli continued, "There are only a few bodies. On the contrary, there are more bodies of Daqing soldiers."

The Duke of Zhenguo exclaimed, "How could this happen!"

Ye Qingyu didn't know the contents of the memorial, but that didn't stop her from trying to figure it out. "Your Highness, are you saying that there was no such thing as 50,000 South Vietnamese soldiers dying?"

Combined with Shen Ye's performance at the banquet, which always revealed some partiality towards Nanyue, there is a big problem here.

The Duke of Zhenguo shook his head in disbelief. "Even if Prince Ding lied, there are still so many soldiers and generals in the southwest. Even if Prince Ding has been operating there for five years, he can't bribe all of them to lie for him."

Ye Qingyu said coldly, "Grandfather, what if this battle is just a show?"

Her eyes flashed with coldness as she continued, "It was a show put on for the Daqing soldiers. What if the so-called 50,000 dead South Vietnamese soldiers weren't dead at all? They got up and returned to South Vietnam after the Daqing soldiers left. This would explain why there are no South Vietnamese soldiers' bodies in Miyun Valley."

The Duke of Zhenguo widened his eyes, "If that's the case, if His Royal Highness Prince Ding has also been deceived by Nanyue, it can only be said that Nanyue is too vicious. If His Royal Highness Prince Ding knew the truth..." He glanced at Shen Yanli and didn't say anything else.

Shen Yanli said coldly, "If this is the truth, Shen Ye is collaborating with the enemy and committing treason!"

The Ministry of Rites was extremely busy with the peace talks and the marriage of Prince Ding and Princess Lanzhi. Normally, it was the quietest government office, but now it was short of staff. Minister Zhao had no choice but to report to Emperor Jingyou and transfer a group of officials from other government offices to help the Ministry of Rites.

Now the peace talks were going on. Since Prince Ding was the main person who facilitated the peace talks, Emperor Jingyou gave the matter to him to host, with the Ministry of Rites co-organizing, and Prince An and Prince Kang assisting. The peace talks were very heated, but after just three days, nothing was accomplished.

At this time, Emperor Jingyou arranged a marriage between the daughter of the Minister of War and Prince Kang.

When this incident happened, the court officials were shocked again.

He is the Minister of War, responsible for coordinating the country's military forces. Everyone is jealous of the power in his hands.

Unexpectedly, Prince Kang actually joined forces with the Minister of War. Originally, when Prince Ding returned after his meritorious service, many people tended to lean towards Prince Ding. He was the eldest son and had military merits, and it seemed that he was the one closest to the position of crown prince at that time.

Now, His Majesty has suddenly made all the princes kings, putting all the princes on the same level. Now, Prince Kang is marrying the Minister of War, and the wind direction has changed.

At this time, Prince Ding and Prince An were accompanying Prince Kang to receive the imperial decree granting the marriage.
