In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

After hearing the words of the fifth prince, the emperor fell into deep thought. He casually sent the fifth prince away and didn't know what he was thinking while sitting there alone.

The next morning, at court, the emperor looked at the crowd of ministers below him. After a moment's silence, he finally spoke: "The criminal Zhao has defected. The Fifth Prince will command the troops in the capital and search the entire city for Li. If anyone refuses to surrender, he will be executed immediately."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the ministers fell silent. No one had expected that the fifth prince would be able to obtain the military power of the capital. You know, this power has always been in the hands of the emperor. No one had expected that the emperor would be willing to give up this power.

None of them cared about the Queen's life or death. They had only one thought in their minds: the capital was about to be in chaos.

For a moment, the ministers had their own thoughts in their minds. The emperor handed over the military power to the fifth prince, which also meant that the emperor valued the fifth prince, especially now that the emperor had not appointed a crown prince. Now, the emperor might have the intention of letting the fifth prince succeed to the throne.

After thinking about this clearly, many ministers who had previously been pessimistic about the Fifth Prince and even despised him panicked. If the Fifth Prince really succeeded to the throne, they would be the first group to die.

In order to protect their own lives and wealth, many ministers chose to establish good relations with the Fifth Prince. However, if they approached the Fifth Prince directly, it would seem that their purpose was too strong, so this group of people turned their attention to Shen Wenjun.

Everyone knows that the person the Fifth Prince values ​​most is Shen Wenjun, and he has assigned him many things to do.

The ministers were reluctant to speak to the Fifth Prince, but one by one they all came to Shen Wenjun.

Even the ministers who had previously remained neutral in the dispute over the princes began to set their sights on the fifth prince.

From time to time, they would bring gifts and ask for a meeting, just to get Shen Wenjun to say a few good words for them in front of the Fifth Prince.

Shen Wenjun couldn't stand this kind of thing. It was okay if it happened once or twice, but after a long time, Shen Wenjun felt a headache and simply ran to Xie's house every day.

Xie Chengjin looked at Shen Wenjun who appeared before him and felt speechless. He stared at Shen Wenjun for a long while before speaking, "Why are you here again? Why don't you count how many times you've come to my house in this period of time?"

Shen Wenjun waved her hands and said with a look of despair, "I didn't want to come either, but that group of people were really chasing me. You don't know, they even wanted to force women into my house. One or two would be fine, but in the end, I don't know how the word got around, and almost everyone wanted to force someone in."

Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin on the side looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Su Zhizhi knew something about this matter, but she heard it from Xu Miao.

After the poisonous insect was lured out, Xu Miao returned to his previous self. He would come to Su Zhizhi when he had nothing to do, and he still had a strange crush on Shen Wenjun.

Sometimes even Su Zhizhi couldn't stand it anymore and advised Xu Miao to find someone else to love, but Xu Miao was like a possessed person and refused to listen no matter what she said. It seemed that he was determined to be with Shen Wenjun.

Over time, Su Zhizhi stopped persuading him.

Xu Miao was the first one to know that the minister had stuffed women around Shen Wenjun. When Su Zhizhi saw her, she almost tore the handkerchief in her hand.

"Your Highness, what's wrong? Why are you so angry for no reason?" Su Zhizhi couldn't help but joked when she saw Xu Miao like this.

Xu Miao hesitated for a moment and told Su Zhizhi what he knew.

Su Zhizhi immediately became interested. "What do you think of this, Your Highness?"

Xu Miao could hear the teasing in Su Zhizhi's tone and couldn't help but glare at Su Zhizhi coquettishly.

"Those vixen are worthy of appearing around Shen Wenjun? I'm not dead yet!" Xu Miao said hatefully.

Hearing this, Su Zhizhi smiled and said nothing. After a long moment, she said, "Your Highness, don't be angry. I think Lord Shen probably doesn't like these girls either. Why don't you take this opportunity to get closer to Shen Wenjun? Maybe good things will happen soon."

Upon hearing this, Xu Miao shook his head without any hesitation, like a rattle, which made people want to laugh.

"No need for that. Haven't I been turned down so many times before? Even if I'm not very good, I'm still the Princess Changle of the current dynasty, the only princess with a title under my father's paternal nephew. Why should I chase after Shen Wenjun?"

When Xu Miao thought of his previous setbacks, he despised himself and was angry at Shen Wenjun for being ungrateful.

"Then what does Your Highness plan to do?" Su Zhizhi was not surprised by Xu Miao's refusal.

Xu Miao pondered for a moment and gave Su Zhizhi a mysterious smile. "I have my own clever plan. Zhizhi, you don't have to worry about it."

Later, Su Zhizhi found out that the "clever plan" that Xu Miao mentioned was to create trouble so that all the girls who were supposed to be sent to Shen Wenjun would run into problems one by one.

Looking at this childish method, Su Zhizhi was also very helpless, but she did not think about intervening in the matter.

Thinking back, Su Zhizhi looked at Shen Wenjun who was complaining bitterly to Xie Chengjin in front of her, and couldn't help but say, "Since you are suffering from this, why don't you think about getting married? Perhaps the situation will improve. You should also know that these people dare to send people to your house now, simply because you have no other women."

Hearing this, Shen Wenjun paused and stopped talking, as if he was thinking about this problem.

In fact, Shen Wenjun had thought about what Su Zhizhi said, but when he thought about getting married, Xu Miao's face unconsciously appeared in his mind, which made Shen Wenjun feel uncomfortable for no reason.

"Forget it, Zhizhi, you also know that I have no intention of getting married. This matter still needs to be considered in the long run. If I can't do it for a while, I will inevitably come to Xie Mansion more often to avoid the limelight." Shen Wenjun smiled bitterly and waved his hand, looking like he was at a loss for words.

Seeing Shen Wenjun like this, Su Zhizhi felt even more distressed for Xu Miao.

Coincidentally, the three of them were chatting when the doorman came in and said that Xu Miao had arrived.

Su Zhizhi glanced at Shen Wenjun unconsciously, then said with a smile, "Go quickly, Your Highness, please come in."

Afterwards, Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin looked at each other and noticed a smile in each other's eyes.

Soon, Xu Miao walked in. Her eyes first fell on Su Zhizhi with a smile on her face. Before she could call out, she saw a familiar figure sitting next to her.

Xu Miao's body suddenly stiffened. He looked to the side and met Shen Wenjun's gaze.

Xu Miao suddenly stiffened all over. He didn't know how he walked to Su Zhizhi's side and sat down without saying a word. He no longer had the cheerful and cheerful look on his face just now.
