Tuanzi was eventually detained in the palace.

The emperor was originally pushed to the throne by the empress dowager. He did not care about the country and the government, and only wanted to indulge in mountains, rivers, poetry and songs. When the prince came of age, he had the idea of ​​abdicating, but the prince was weak and the empress dowager opposed it, so he never succeeded.

The eldest prince was not even considered by him.

When he was getting along with Tuanzi, he found that Tuanzi was a little prodigy. At such a young age, he could not only read and write, but also had quite some insights.

Isn’t this the heir given by God?

He wanted to abdicate immediately, but that was clearly impossible. He still needed to be taught well. One of his ancestors had ascended the throne at the age of eight, so it was perfectly appropriate to pay tribute to him! He still had three years to go, so he had to make sure he was up to speed.

Tuanzi now has a special teacher to teach him, the emperor himself to teach him the ways of being an emperor, and the empress dowager to take care of him and dote on him. Crown Prince Rongxun has fallen out of favor.

An Yan and Rong Xun lay on the armchair in the mansion, tasting the tribute fruits. You fed me a piece, and I fed you a bite. They enjoyed it very much. Life was simply wonderful.

After the flower viewing banquet that day, An Yan was specially granted the title of Princess Rong'an for her meritorious service in treating the empress dowager, enjoying a salary but no fiefdom. Due to her superb medical skills, the empress dowager allowed her to open the Wushang Pharmacy to save the world.

She had just written to Wushang and Baizhu, asking them to come to the capital. As for the matter between Tuanzi and Rongxun, she didn't mention it. It was better to talk about such an important matter in person.

Calculating the time, it will take at least two or three months for them to receive the letter and rush over. By then, the pharmacy will be renovated and the medicinal materials will be prepared, and it can be opened.

During this time, we can get rid of the eldest prince and Wu Jingjing first. They must be having a hard time now.

The Queen Mother issued an imperial decree granting the marriage between the eldest prince and Wu Jingjing. The decree contained only one sentence granting the marriage between the two, and the wedding date was set for one month later.

The ministers were discussing the matter. They had never seen such a concise and clear imperial decree. The wedding date was rushed, the ceremony was simple, and it was perfunctory. How could this be the treatment a prince deserved?

Even the eldest prince's wife's father was only a fourth-rank official with no real power. If the future crown princess came from a noble family, wouldn't the eldest prince's wife never be able to hold her head up?

They were still thinking about standing up for the eldest prince, but after returning home and listening to their wives recount what happened that day, they changed their minds.

Looking at this matter again, after all, the future Crown Prince's wife is the daughter of an official. Perhaps the Queen Mother is angry, or perhaps she is worried about the possibility of pregnancy before marriage, so she wants to help them get out of this situation quickly and clean up the mess for them?

This was what the officials who supported the eldest prince thought, except for his grandfather, Prime Minister Wang.

Several sets of porcelain had been broken in the palace, and the fragments were all over the floor.

Prime Minister Wang raised his head to the sky and cursed: "This is too much! This is too much! This vicious woman is clearly trying to cut off the support of your wife's family and pave the way for the Crown Prince."

The Wang family and the Queen Mother had been at odds with each other for a long time. Ever since the Queen Mother made Han the Queen and blocked the way for Concubine Wang, she has been partial to him over the years, and recently drove the Wang family's legitimate daughter out of the palace for that reason, making all the women in the Wang family lose face, and the hatred has reached a new height.

I didn't expect that she would dare to interfere with the eldest prince's marriage!

The Prime Minister's wife claimed to be ill that day and did not attend the banquet, so she did not know the inside story. Perhaps even if they knew, they would just believe that he was innocent.

"Grandfather, what should I do? I don't really have to marry that woman, do I?" The eldest prince was very reluctant. Although he really liked her beauty, he still knew what was more important.

Prime Minister Wang patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will never let that woman into your house!"

With his assurance, the eldest prince finally breathed a sigh of relief and left the palace in a happy mood.

"Sir, Wu Shaoqing from the Taichang Temple requests to see you." The housekeeper reported.

"Get him out!" Prime Minister Wang roared. Who was worthy of seeing him? Wait, isn't Wu Shaoqing Wu Jingjing's father? He just had no place to vent his anger. "Wait, get him to get out!"

Wu Jing, who came excitedly to make connections, was poured a bucket of cold water on the head.

Faced with Prime Minister Wang's cold attitude, Wu Jing quickly came up with a countermeasure.

"My Lord, I know that I am not worthy of His Highness the Crown Prince, but I cannot disobey His Highness's order. I can only wait until His Highness has accomplished his great cause. Then I will be willing to leave the throne and only ask for a place in His Highness's backyard to stay and live in peace."

Some of the words touched Prime Minister Wang's heart, but he still pretended to reprimand Wu Jing, and then pretended to casually mention the fact that the imperial guards were heavily guarded and it was difficult to accomplish anything.

Wu Jing knew his chance had come. He stepped forward and whispered, "Most military power these days lies in the hands of the generals guarding the borders. If we can cooperate with Prince Jing'an, whose father-in-law is a general at the border, there's no need to worry about not achieving great things."

Prime Minister Wang snorted coldly, "Prince Jing'an is already a prince who can enjoy wealth and luxury. Why should he help us?"

Wu Jingshen smiled mysteriously, "My wife has met the King of Jing'an several times before, and he saved my life once, so I have some respect and can speak with him."

Wang Cheng's impression of Wu Jing remained that of a fool who relied on women to get to the top, and his impression of him grew worse. However, he did not show it on his face. Instead, he calmly made promises, "If that day ever comes, the Crown Prince will not treat you and your daughter unfairly! The affairs of Prince Jing'an are now in your hands!"

"Yes! I will definitely fulfill the mission!" Wu Jing accepted the task excitedly and hurried home to find Bai Yingxin, asking her to talk to King Jing'an about this matter.

Because there was only one month to prepare for the wedding, the Imperial Household Department used many second-hand items in order to ensure the smooth progress of the ceremony. Even the wedding dress that Wu Jingjing wore was made from an old dress that Concubine Wang had once worn.

This made Wu Jingjing very angry, and she finally calmed down after being persuaded by Bai Yingxin.

All Wu Jingjing wants is wealth, glory and a high status, so she is really easy to please.

Bai Yingxin helped her comb her hair, remembering that Prince Jing'an had promised her that he would help the eldest prince ascend the throne and make Jingjing the queen. She therefore agreed to some special requests from Prince Jing'an.

At this moment, Bai Yingxin suddenly thought of the Wushang who did not ask for anything in return, and was angry at his current lack of tact. And the An Yan who was loved by the superiors and whom she met in the palace that day, an idea suddenly appeared in her mind.

She comforted herself that if this plan succeeded, then even if the eldest prince failed in the future, she would have a way out because of this relationship!

However, she had to wait until Jingjing got married, so she had to hurry up and buy a batch of items needed for the dowry at a high price. She absolutely could not let Jingjing lose face with the dowry. The one hundred and twenty-eight loads of dowry had to be full!

What she didn't know was that An Yan increased the price of the things she had prepared several times over and sold them to Bai Yingxin under someone else's name, making a ton of money!
