Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

[No, the prince was also kept in the dark.]

【Who is this secret letter intended for? 】

【Ylang Duo.】

Jiang Yueyang frowned, [Who is it?]

[The Emperor's Consort Lan, a princess of the Chishui tribe.]

Jiang Yueyang gasped, [What, what, what do the Chishui people want to do? Could it be...?]

The system analyzed: [There seems to be that intention, but no major actions have been taken yet. Currently, information is just being exchanged within and outside the palace.]

[It will be too late by the time they make a move. I have to find a way to alert His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.]

Hearing this, the system asked curiously: [Host, don't you just want to eat melons and not meddle in other people's business? ]

Jiang Yueyang rolled her eyes slightly, "Then I have to be alive to eat the melons."

[Does the host really not believe in Daxia's combat power? ]

"Everything has its upside. Besides, I don't want war to happen. In the end, it's the civilians who suffer."

These words deeply touched the prince.

He studied Confucianism, did not like killing, and did not want the people to be caught up in war.

In everything, it is best to do it without bloodshed.

But if someone insists on stirring up chaos in the world, he can also take up sword to defend the country and keep his people of Daxia safe year after year.

The system said: [How does the host want to remind the prince? ]

When will they come to pick up the secret letter?

[3:15 PM, the library closes.]

Jiang Yueyang pinched her chin and thought about it. She couldn't say it directly, nor could she alert the enemy... She got it!

The prince also wanted to know how she was going to remind him, so he waited without moving.

"Ouch!" Jiang Yueyang pretended to scream.

Even the prince, who had been prepared, was a little frightened at this moment.

"Your Highness." Jiang Yueyang raised his hand and pointed at the beam, "I just saw a mouse running past it."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince very cooperatively asked, "There are rats? No way? The library is cleaned every day. Did Miss Jiang see it wrong?"

Jiang Yueyang shook his head frantically, "I'm sure I saw it right. There really is a rat. Your Highness, please find someone to catch it quickly, or it will damage the books."

The prince nodded, "Hmm... Miss Jiang is right. Books are precious and cannot be damaged by mice. I will ask someone to catch mice later in the evening."

Jiang Yueyang was puzzled, "Why catch him later? Can't we catch him now?"

"Mice love to dig holes and reproduce quickly. There's probably a nest of baby mice up there. We can catch them all after they all return to their nests."

Jiang Yueyang didn't hear the hidden meaning in the prince's words and nodded thoughtfully.

[This way, His Royal Highness's men will likely run into the person who came to retrieve the secret letter, catching them both red-handed.]

The system couldn't help but pour cold water on her, "I'm afraid she'll deny it. The one who came to retrieve the secret letter was a young eunuch close to Concubine Lan, who's very easy to manipulate."

[There's no way to quibble about the words on the secret letter, right?]

The system said in a long tone: [The text above is not necessarily in Chishui language.]

Jiang Yueyang was speechless. It was indeed possible.

At this time, the prince said, "Miss Jiang, shall we go down? I just remembered that there is a damaged poetry collection in the library. Miss Jiang, please help repair it."

Seeing the prince about to leave, Jiang Yueyang hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I think we should ask someone to catch the mouse now."

"No rush." ​​The prince replied as he walked down.

Since Concubine Lan and the others hadn't made any major moves, he wasn't in a hurry. He would first report this matter to his father, and then arrange for someone to keep an eye on Concubine Lan and the Marquis of Jing'an's family.

He would come early to catch mice, copy a secret letter and then wait for the prey.

What to do next depends on how the emperor arranges it.

Jiang Yueyang was very upset when she heard what the prince said. She wanted to say, "If you are not anxious, then I am!"

"Your Highness, shall we catch them now? I...I am afraid of rats."

The prince raised his lips when he heard this, "Miss Jiang, please keep your voice down. Don't disturb the adults and students in this building."

Jiang Yueyang suddenly shut her mouth tightly, "Right, right, right, we can't alert anyone else. Concubine Lan's men might be in this building."

So, she lowered her voice and continued, "Your Highness, I am really, really afraid of mice. Could you please…"

"Since Miss Jiang is so afraid of mice, then..."

Jiang Yueyang looked at him with burning eyes, her face full of anticipation.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looked away unnaturally, "Then let's go back to Wenyuan Pavilion."

Jiang Yueyang: "..."

The system laughed, [Hahahaha... Host, is this what you call the emperor being anxious but the eunuchs are?]

[You are the eunuch. Humph! I don't care. This world is not mine. Let Chishui destroy Daxia.]

Prince: "..."

In the end, Jiang Yueyang still failed to let the prince catch the mouse, but instead found a homework for herself.

She looked at the torn poetry collection in her hand, and wailed on the table with despair.

The colleagues in Wenyuan Pavilion all shrank back, then looked back at Jiang Yueyang behind them in confusion.

Pei Yan stood up and walked over and asked, "What's wrong, Master Xiao Jiang?"

"Nothing." Jiang Yueyang moved her head, "I'm just tired."

Pei Yan twitched his lips when he heard that. How could someone so young understand what it meant to be tired?

I'm the one who's tired, okay?

Not only do I have to do a lot of work, but I also have to be careful to prevent you from getting into trouble in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Pei Yan complained bitterly in his heart, but smiled and said, "If Master Xiao Jiang is tired, why don't you go back home and rest?"

Jiang Yueyang's eyes lit up, "Can I go back?"

Pei Yan responded, "Your Majesty has granted Mr. Xiao Jiang a special pardon and he can return to his residence to work."

"Why is Your Majesty so special to me?" Jiang Yueyang asked in a low voice.

"Well... Your Majesty told me that Lord Jiang is young and still growing, so he shouldn't be overworked."

[Tsk!] Jiang Yueyang made a dissatisfied sound, [You said it so well, then why do you insist on me becoming an official?]

Pei Yan answered her silently in his heart, it’s because of your heart.

Despite her complaints, Jiang Yueyang had to express her gratitude to Emperor Yuan for his consideration.

"In that case." Jiang Yueyang stood up with the poetry collection, "Then I'll go home. This is the poetry collection that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to restore. I will try to finish it as soon as possible. Lord Pei, please don't assign me any work recently."

"Master Xiao Jiang, you are joking. How dare I assign you work? If Master Kong has no special arrangements, you can arrange your time as you please."

[Alas~ This is probably the only benefit of being a Crown Princess.]

System: [Are you tempted? The host has already enjoyed preferential treatment even before becoming the Crown Princess. If she becomes the Crown Princess, won't she be able to get whatever she wants?]

One person still believes that Emperor Yuan's various actions are only because Jiang Yueyang is the Crown Princess chosen by the Queen.

If the Crown Prince wasn't the Crown Prince, I might have been tempted. After all, His Royal Highness is truly handsome!
