A crown princess who doesn't do infrastructure construction isn't a good doctor.

She had just learned from Jiang Peier that the Emperor had specially granted the Imperial Concubine the honor of holding a grand birthday banquet. However, she had only been back for a few days, and before Beitang Xinyue could tell her parents, Princess An was in her room holding her increasingly plump youngest son with great affection when she heard her husband's voice suppressing his anger.

"Absurd! Absolutely ridiculous!"

Seeing her youngest son laughing happily, Princess An felt relieved. Luckily, Rui'er wasn't asleep, otherwise she would have been woken up.

After handing her son over to Granny Ye, Princess An came out of the room, sat down next to Prince An, and poured him a cup of tea.

"What happened? Why are you so angry?"

His wife's gentle and soothing voice calmed Prince An down a bit. He took the teacup, drank some, and then explained the reason for his dissatisfaction.

It turned out that he had gone to court as usual today, and was preparing to clear his mind and stand in his place to wait for the court to end when the emperor's chief eunuch, Huang Gonggong, announced an imperial edict in his slightly high-pitched voice.

The gist of it is that the opening praises Consort Rou for her hard work and merits in managing the harem over the years. Then it mentions that last year, the Duke of Wei led the officials and nobles of Yejing to voluntarily contribute their wealth to support the war against the Northern Regions, thus stabilizing the rear. Therefore, it is decided to reward Consort Rou with a birthday banquet with the rites of an empress. All the noble ladies of the court are to attend the birthday banquet. Moreover, it is announced that people from all over the world have already set off. In addition to the noble ladies of Yejing, envoys from the Northern Regions, which have already submitted, will also be coming.

"Recently, the Duke of Wei's lineage has been acting recklessly. This time, they have been given such an honor, celebrating the birthday of a Noble Consort with the rites of an Empress. It is amazing that they could come up with such a thing."

Upon hearing this, Princess An did not show much emotion, but asked gently, "What was the reaction of those court officials?"

"Of course they were against it. The Imperial Censor used his old trick, slowly preparing to smash his head against the pillar, but was pulled back by Grand Commandant Gu."

Princess An smiled.

"It seems that in the end, the advice was not successful?"

Prince An said, "The Ministry of Rites received the decree long ago, and the relevant matters are more than half completed. There is no room for obstruction."

"Then why are you still angry?"

Thinking of this, Prince An became somewhat indignant again, and said with resentment, "I don't know who came up with this terrible idea, saying that Yan'er should receive the envoys from the Northern Region who came to offer birthday greetings, claiming that he knows the Northern Region best and is the best candidate."

Princess An frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "But they know about Yan'er's amnesia. If we're talking about understanding the Northern Region, Father and the others will be returning to the court soon. They could have just sent Father."

"They're just pretending not to know. I said that Yan'er is suffering from amnesia and is not up to the task, but someone insisted that there is still Yan'er's heir, Zhengjun. He is a man, and his uncle is the Vice Minister of Rites. He must know about the reception arrangements. Let him go in Yan'er's place."

"what?"

This made Princess An even more puzzled, and she guessed, "Did the Emperor agree?"

Prince An nodded reluctantly.

"Agreed. The decree should be issued tomorrow, and then Suiyou can start making preparations."

Upon hearing this, Princess An was not as worried as Prince An had expected; on the contrary, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Prince An asked, "Madam, what are your thoughts?"

Knowing what her husband wanted to ask, Princess An smiled and replied, "Husband, have you forgotten that Suiyou is now one of our people?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten, my wife, please don't keep me in suspense."

Seeing that Prince An already had a pleading look on his face, Princess An replied, "The matter of the Northern Regions is very much related to us. Yan'er cannot show up now, but it would also be disadvantageous for us to push the matter to others. They underestimated Suiyou, or perhaps they have some backup plan. They thought that the reception of the envoys from the Northern Regions would definitely be a disaster, and that they would hold our family accountable. But what they didn't expect was that Suiyou is by no means a simple person. In the end, it is still uncertain what will happen."

Prince An suddenly realized, and then laughed, "It is indeed the lady who is exceptionally clever, quick-witted, insightful, and resourceful..."

"OK OK."

Interrupting Prince An's almost unstoppable praise, Princess An prepared to get up to check on her youngest son. Seeing that Prince An was about to leave, she casually asked, "Where is my husband going?"

"Go find that kid Suiyou, tell him in advance, and give him a few pointers."

Upon hearing this, Princess An pulled Prince An back.

“Suiyou has been out of the mansion for quite a while now. Besides, he is very intelligent, so he probably doesn’t need you to give him any pointers.”

"How can you say that?"

Ever since Qin Suiyou arrived at the Prince An's residence, the Prince An felt that his status in his beloved wife's eyes was constantly declining. He never expected that she would not believe her own mind at this moment, so he pretended to be displeased and said, "However, I am an elder and have experienced so many more things than him. How could I not have anything to say?"

Knowing that the person in front of her was simply jealous, Princess An smiled and directly changed the subject.

“Rui Rui was smiling so happily today, and he already knows that Rui Rui is calling him. As soon as he hears the name Rui Rui, he smiles and moves his hands from side to side. It's so adorable. Husband, won't you go and see him?”

Without the slightest hesitation, Prince An immediately said, "Of course I want to see it. Let me in quickly."

Princess An deliberately stopped them from moving, feigning regret, and said, "But aren't you supposed to be going to give some pointers to the younger generation? I'm afraid you won't have time."

"Madam, please have mercy."

Having made it clear that he was going to see his youngest son, Prince An said, "Put everything else aside for now. Rui Rui is the most important thing right now. Let me go and see him quickly."

Princess An then stopped stopping her and turned around first.

"Let's go."

The couple walked side by side to see their youngest son, while two little girls squatted down outside the window not far away.

"Princess, isn't it inappropriate for us to eavesdrop like this?"

Gently patting Lan Ya, who looked nervous, Bei Tang Xin Yue said, "This isn't the first time you've eavesdropped with me. Besides, we're not doing anything bad. What my parents said earlier was meant to be told to me. I was just being subjective. Subjective what?"

Lan Ya: "Subjective initiative."

"Oh right, initiative. I just used my initiative to find out in advance what I was going to know anyway, so how can you say it's bad?"

"Is that right?"

Beitang Xinyue nodded decisively.

"Of course, let's go, let's go to the Wutong Courtyard and wait for my sister-in-law to come back and tell her the news."

The two left Shian Courtyard without stopping. If they turned around, they would find that the couple who had already entered the side room where Beitang Rui was had reappeared at the door.

"Husband, when will Yue'er break this habit of eavesdropping? What if she hears something she shouldn't in the future?"

"Don't worry, this child knows what she's doing. She's been fine all these years. If things really come to a head, we'll clean up the mess for her."

"It can only be the."
