After marrying the heirless prince, I gave birth to three children

Emperor Yongle glanced at the Third Prince and said, "I am already old."

The Third Prince immediately said, "Auntie is not old!"

Although he said this, his eyes and eyebrows were filled with anticipation and smiles, and he was laughing wildly in his heart: I’m old, really old!

So... come on!

Make full use of him, he is ready!

It is simply God’s help that my father is in a coma at this time.

Emperor Yongle simply glanced at the Third Prince once more and said, "The Crown Prince is in charge of the regency, so why should I worry about it?"

"I..." The third prince raised his head with a relaxed expression, ready to express his gratitude and to say that he would definitely perform well. However, after saying one word, he realized that Emperor Yongle did not hand over the regency to him as he had expected.

But he mentioned...the prince.

The third prince turned his head to look at Xiao Ji in a daze, and felt that his wounds began to hurt.

His smile froze on his face, his expression distorted.

Xiao Ji? !

Why should he be given to Xiao Ji instead of a sickly person who won't live long? Just because he had encountered such a misfortune this time?

"Think again, my Lord." Grand Tutor Xuan spoke up at this moment. "Logically speaking, since His Majesty is in a coma, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be the regent."

"But Xia is currently facing internal and external troubles. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has just woken up from a coma and is weak. He has never been involved in political affairs before, so I'm afraid he won't be able to handle this."

The third prince restrained himself on the surface, but nodded vigorously in his heart, not bad, not bad, well said!

Although he didn't think Xiao Ji was incompetent.

But... if he could handle those matters of Regency, it would be of great benefit to his future. He would definitely perform well and let his father, the emperor, and all the civil and military officials see his ability.

The most important thing is...

If the emperor is truly unfortunate... then he can naturally take that position.

A gleam of light flashed in the third prince's eyes, and he naturally refused to give in.

"The third prince was also injured recently, so he should rest well." Pei Chen refused to give in and immediately refuted.

What he said sounded normal, but he earned a resentful look from the Third Prince.

The third prince felt that Pei Chen was mocking him for having lost his dignity as a man.

Pei Chen: "..." He pretended not to notice and continued, "Besides, the Crown Prince is the Regent, so it's legitimate. If he doesn't know something, he can learn it. He can't always be ignorant."

"If there's something you really can't do, there's still Mother and the civil and military officials." Pei Chen stared at the Third Prince and Grand Tutor Xuan. "Grand Tutor and the Third Prince won't just stand by and watch, right?"

The Third Prince's face twitched, and he practically squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Of course."

Taifu Xuan could only say that he would not stand idly by.

"If that's the case, what's there to argue about?" Pei Chen asked, "Besides His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who else is more suitable to be Regent at this time?"

The third prince: “…” Of course it’s him, ...!

But he really didn't dare to say this at the moment.

Damn Pei Chen, can't he tell who is his own? His concubine's sister is Pei Chen's brother-in-law's fiancée!

With the third prince's silence, Xiao Ji's appointment as regent was decided.

After deciding this matter, Emperor Yongle showed an attitude that he would not interfere in anything else and handed all matters to Xiao Ji for decision-making.

"The Crown Prince should handle the government affairs. Your Majesty, I will personally guard this place."

***'s gaze fell on the emperor with a complicated look in his eyes.

Before she knew it, her only biological brother had become like this... no matter how many problems they had between them.

This is also her only biological brother!

"Yes." Xiao Ji responded with a fist salute, and under the guidance of Li Dajian, he was about to meet the important officials of the court.

Seeing Pei Chen about to catch up, Xiao An couldn't help but say, "Marquis Zhenbei, please stay!"

Pei Chen paused, turned around and politely greeted Xiao An, "I wonder if the Third Prince has anything else to say?"

Xiao An said with a forced smile, "I have something to discuss with the Marquis of Zhenbei."

Pei Chen looked at Xiao Ji's back before saying, "Your Highness, please come in."

Xiao An was supported by the steward. Perhaps because he was angry just now, his face looked paler than before.

Pei Chen said with concern: "Third Prince, please take care of your health."

The third prince: "..."

His face immediately darkened, feeling that Pei Chen was mocking him. He took a deep breath and said, "I'm here to see you, Lord Marquis, because I have something for you to pass on."

He pulled a sachet from his sleeve and handed it to Pei Chen, saying, "This is from the third daughter of the Wang family, and she asked me to pass it on to Master Zhao."

"We are all one family from now on. I will ask the Marquis to pass this on."

He stared at the Marquis of Zhenbei, believing that he would understand what he meant: they were a family.

So, think about which side you should take, and don't blindly side with the prince just because of that little bit of friendship.

It's better to support him now and secure the position of regent for him. He will definitely repay Pei Chen well in the future...

"Third Prince." Pei Chen's voice sounded, his expression serious, "Forgive me, I cannot help you with this."

The Third Prince's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and he looked at Pei Chen with a sullen gaze, "Marquis Zhenbei really won't help with such a small favor?"

This is not just a refusal to help, it is a rejection of his olive branch!

"It's better not to easily pass on women's personal belongings." Pei Chen even "lectured" the Third Prince. If he believed that the sachet that the Third Prince casually took out was really Miss Wang's, he would be a fool!
