She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Behind the rockery.

"Ruoyun, you have to act according to the situation and find a way to put it in that person's wine glass. You must make sure it is foolproof. This opportunity is rare, don't miss it.

Whether this county lady has a happy future depends on you, so please don’t let this county lady forget.” Nanhua County Lady said seriously.

"County Lady, I'm scared. If they find out, I'll be dead." The maid Ruoyun was very scared.

"What are you afraid of? I'm here with you, my master. Even if they find out, I've already achieved my goal. Can't I protect you? Don't forget, you're my personal maid. Your future is closely tied to mine. Your parents are still stewards at my mother's farm."

Seeing that the maid looked like she was about to cry, the Lady of Nanhua County began to threaten her.

The maid had no choice but to take what her master handed over.

"County Lady, you must protect me. I don't want to die yet."

"Don't worry, you won't die. You are my capable maid. How could I bear to see you die?"

The Nanhua County Lady guaranteed.

When Yu Yuanzheng and the others heard this, they knew that the Nanhua County leader was going to harm people, but they didn't know who she wanted to harm.

She had given her instructions and would soon leave the rockery.

The two looked at each other and immediately evacuated.

When the master and servant of Nanhua County came out from behind the rockery, they saw two groups of four masters and servants who were at least ten feet away, slowly walking away.

Yu Yuanzheng and Princess Lingxuan were talking, and their maids were following them from a distance and did not hear the conspiracy behind the rockery.

Generally, the daughters of officials were not allowed to bring maids with them when entering the palace, but maids and servants were allowed to wait in a special area.

However, people of the status of Yu Yuanzheng and Princess Lingxuan, including the Princess Nanhua just now, are qualified to have a maid to serve them.

The two walked a long distance before they started communicating.

"Who does she want to harm? It can't be my brother, right? It's unlikely, we are a family. She won't be so cruel." Princess Lingxuan guessed.

"You think too much. How could she possibly harm your brother?"

"That's true. Then who is she going to do it to?"

"I don't know either." Yu Yuanzheng actually had a faint guess in her heart, but it was just a guess and it was not appropriate to say it out loud.

Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with her, so she just enjoys watching the show.

"Oh, never mind. As long as my family and my brothers in the palace are not harmed, it's fine." Princess Lingxuan believed that if the lord of Nanhua County wanted to harm someone, he would definitely target a man, not a woman.

"It has nothing to do with us, don't worry about it." Yu Yuanzheng comforted.

"Well, I feel much better after talking to you for a while. Let's go and find Brother Ziqi. Maybe he is looking for you everywhere." Princess Lingxuan teased.

"Let's go, it's really possible. He should come out after a few words with the emperor."

It's no wonder that Shangguan Ziqi was looking for her, but he met the eldest prince Cao Jinqi on the way and was invited to a pavilion to chat.

"Ziqi, I haven't congratulated you on becoming a father yet." The eldest prince congratulated sincerely.

"Thank you. Speaking of this, the emperor just asked me to persuade you that it's time for you to get married. What are your thoughts?" Shangguan Ziqi asked as soon as he received the task.

"There's nothing to think about. I'm a cripple, so I shouldn't harm other girls."

"Are you talking about me?" Shangguan Ziqi felt that he had harmed the girl from a good family, but he couldn't bear to let her go.

"You are different. Your family married you without your knowledge, and it was the emperor who arranged the marriage."

"Are you afraid that you will have offspring and be involved in the fight for the throne?" Shangguan Ziqi could only think of this reason.

"Did you see that?" The eldest prince laughed.

Until now, my father has not appointed a crown prince, but when my grandfather was alive, he appointed a crown prince very early on.

The reason was naturally the death of his mother.

If his mother were still alive, he might have been made the crown prince by his father long ago.

Without his mother's protection, the prince would be easily assassinated. No one would know how he died.

So his father has been waiting for him to grow up and be able to protect himself, but things happen unexpectedly.

He was disabled and lost the qualification to be crowned as the crown prince.

If he got married early and had a son, who had grown up before his father passed away, he might really be named the crown prince, which would be even more troublesome.

"Ah! You! If the emperor knew you were thinking this, I wonder what he would think."

"It's okay. In another ten or eight years, I will be in my prime. It won't be too late to consider it then." The eldest prince was very open-minded.

"Have you ever thought about asking the miracle doctor who is famous in the capital recently to see you?" Shangguan Ziqi asked tentatively.

"No, there's nothing that so many doctors can do about my leg problem. He even said there's nothing he can do about your leg. Does that mean he has a solution for mine? It's better not to bring him trouble. Didn't you bring him trouble before?"

The eldest prince shook his head and no longer had any hope for his legs.

After hearing his words, Shangguan Ziqi waved his hand and asked the people serving nearby to step back.

Although it was some distance away just now, it was not far enough.

Seeing him like this, the eldest prince raised his eyes and looked at him in confusion.

Shangguan Ziqi pushed his wheelchair closer to him.

Then he put his head close to the eldest prince's ear.

"My dear prince, my leg doctor said it can be cured, but I don't want to treat it yet. I want to find the person who hurt me first before I consider it. If you want to be treated, please take some time to come to my Qiyayuan."

Shangguan Ziqi said this quietly and nodded.

The eldest prince opened his eyes when he heard this.

"Is this true?"

Shangguan Ziqi nodded again.

"Okay, I'll go learn piano lessons from my sister-in-law someday. The Seventh and Eighth Imperial Sisters have been showing off to me several times these past few days. We'll be able to see their performance soon, and hopefully, as Seventh Imperial Brother said, they'll shock the audience."

"Haha, just listen to his nonsense, he is far inferior to Zheng'er." In Shangguan Ziqi's eyes, no one can compare to his wife.

The two chatted for a while before separating.

Shangguan Ziqi still didn't find Yu Yuanzheng, but he stopped looking when he knew she was with Princess Lingxuan.

The two did not meet until the banquet began.

This palace banquet will be held at the beginning of the afternoon at 5 pm, and the palace gates will be closed one hour later.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and our Great Wei is experiencing another bumper harvest this year.

According to data reported by various state governments, this year's autumn grain collection was half a percent higher than last year.

Let us celebrate together on this festive occasion.

When the Moon Goddess ascends in a moment, I will worship with you, my dear ministers, and pray for peace and prosperity for the people of our great Wei Kingdom.

We drink from the cup together."

The emperor stood on a high seat, raised his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

The ministers below drank together.

Then the palace banquet began.

Just like last time, the songs and dances prepared by the palace began to be performed, and then each family started drinking and having fun.

But this time they did not sit at the same table as families, but ministers with official positions sat together. They would soon go out with the emperor to worship the moon goddess, but the women would not go.

Shangguan Zishu, as the prince of the palace, also had to go with the prince, but Shangguan Ziqi didn't have to, so he sat with Yu Yuanzheng. Next to him were Yu Chaoyang and the princess.

The banquet continued as usual with eating and drinking, and everyone was free to move around before the time for worship.

Yu Yuanzheng thought of what she and Princess Lingxuan had heard before, that the Nanhua County Lord had a conspiracy, so she couldn't help but look at the Nanhua County Lord.

And she saw several times that the Nanhua County Master's eyes always lingered on a certain place in the men's area for a moment or two.

When the banquet was in the middle of the You hour, she saw the Princess of Nanhua County get up and leave.
