Regent, please maintain your aloof image.

After coming out, the three of them walked on the road.

Qin Zhenzhen couldn't help but sneer, "I never expected that our Princess Ping Le would use her looks to please men. But then again, it's just that the prince has his eye on her face."

"Not everyone can use their beauty to please others. Take Princess Min, for example. I heard that Prince Min took another concubine a couple of days ago, and she is a singer. I wonder if Princess Min likes this younger sister."

"Su Qianrou, don't be too smug. Sooner or later, the Regent will abandon you."

"I don't know if the prince will abandon me, but I do know that Princess Min has been abandoned."

"you……".

"Alright, Third Sister-in-law, what are you saying? Qianrou and my brother just got married, and you're already saying such things. It's so unlucky."

Qin Zhenzhen snorted coldly, then walked away without looking back.

"Who is she? It really is... Qianrou, don't be angry. I don't know what happened to her. She's like a completely different person after getting married."

"I'm not angry. She likes your brother, so she targets me. I'm used to it."

Chang Le was afraid that she would misunderstand and then have a falling out with Mu Jinchen, so she hurriedly explained, "Please don't misunderstand, it's just her wishful thinking. My brother doesn't like her."

"I know".

"It's good that you know."

Then the two of them slowly walked towards the palace gate.

Unintentionally, Su Qianrou saw a familiar figure—it was Prince Min. She couldn't help but wonder what he was doing in the palace.

Chang Le spoke to her, but when she did not respond, she called out, "Qian Rou."

Su Qianrou then came to her senses.

What are you thinking about?

"Nothing, what did you just say?"

"I said, the weather has been hot lately, and I'd like to take Xuan'er to escape the heat. Do you have any recommendations?"

"I plan to go to the mountain villa in a few days. If you don't mind, you can come along."

"Okay, it's settled then, we'll go together."

"Ok".

imperial study room

Mu Jinchen sat at the dragon desk, head down, busy reviewing memorials.

Yingfeng entered and said, "Your Highness, Prince Min has entered the palace."

Mu Jinchen looked up at him and asked, "Where did you go?"

"Plum Garden".

"Where is the Empress Dowager?"

"I also went to the plum garden."

"Sure enough, we sent people to keep an eye on them."

"Yes".

梅园

At this moment, Mu Jingfeng was drinking tea inside the house.

A short while later, Qin Yulan also arrived, dressed as a palace maid. "Why are you looking for me at this time? The Regent is still in the palace. If he finds out, we're finished."

"Sit down and talk."

Qin Yulan sat down and asked, "Is there something urgent that you called me here for?"

"Do you remember the memorial I asked you to find eight years ago?"

"General Liu's."

"Ok".

"What's wrong? I remember not being able to find it back then."

“Now someone is looking for that memorial. I suspect that someone knows the inside story and wants to overturn the case.”

"Could it be the regent?"

"It wasn't him."

"We haven't found out who that person is yet."

"So you called me here because..."

"I ask you, are you sure that memorial was not sent to the palace?"

"It shouldn't be there. I had people search everywhere back then, but we couldn't find it."

"If it's not in the palace, then who is it in?" Mu Jingfeng muttered to himself.

"Could it be in the hands of the official in charge of the pond?"

“Back then, I had already spoken to the official in charge of the pond, and he said he hadn’t received it. Therefore, I suspected it was a secret report. However, it is clear that the late emperor also did not receive it.”

"That's probably because something happened to the messenger on the way, so the memorial never reached the capital."

"The problem is, I had someone investigate, and they couldn't find such a person."

"That means General Liu didn't actually submit a memorial; he was just deceiving General Liu."

"In that case, just in case, send someone to Yushu Pavilion to search again."

"it is good".

"This place is not safe to stay any longer. I will take my leave now. Be careful on your way back and don't let anyone find you."

"understood".

Then, Mu Jingfeng got up and walked out.

A moment later, Qin Yulan also went out.

Regent's House

When she returned to Yanxi Palace, it was already past 9 AM. Juxia saw her return and immediately went to greet her, "Your Highness, you're back."

"Hmm," Su Qianrou walked to the couch and sat down.

"Would the Princess like to have a meal?"

Having already eaten breakfast, Su Qianrou wasn't very hungry yet, so she said, "Let's wait a little longer, I'm not hungry right now."

"Yes".

At this moment, Qiulan walked in and said, "Your Highness, Steward Yu and Granny Qi request an audience."

"Why did they come? Did they say what they wanted to do?"

"no".

"Let them in."

"Yes".

A moment later, Yu Lian and Granny Qi entered. "This old servant greets Your Highness."

"Why are Steward Yu and Granny Qi here? Is there something you need?"

"Your Highness, this old servant has come on the orders of the Prince to hand over the stewardship of the Prince's residence."

"This old servant has come to assist the Princess on the orders of the Prince."

Then, Yu Lian said, "Your Highness, these are the household's account books and storeroom keys. Please take a look."

"Steward Yu is a veteran in the manor. Since the Prince has entrusted you with this responsibility, he must trust you greatly. You may continue to manage it."

“In the past, it was because there was no mistress in the mansion that the prince asked this old servant to manage it. Now that the princess has married into the mansion, it is natural for the princess to manage it.”

"In that case, I'll leave the ledger and the key here."

"If Your Highness has any questions in the future, please feel free to ask this old servant. This old servant will do his best to assist you."

"it is good".

"Your Highness, the Prince said that there is no head maidservant by your side, so he asked this old servant to stay and serve you."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Granny."

"Your Highness is too kind. It is my honor to stay and serve you. I would be more than happy to do so."

"Juxia, arrange a separate room for the nanny, and also arrange for someone to serve her."

"Your Highness, this is unacceptable. This old servant is here to serve Your Highness, how can I be served by others?"

"It's alright, the old woman is the prince's wet nurse, so it should be so."

"This old servant thanks Your Highness."

"Granny, please go and make the arrangements."

"Yes, this old servant takes his leave."

"Please come with me, Granny."

"Thank you for your trouble, Miss Juxia."

"You're too kind, Granny. Please come in."

Juxia led Granny Qi out.

"If Your Highness has nothing else to say, then this old servant will also return now."

"Take care, Steward Yu."

"This old servant takes his leave," Yu Lian said, and then he also left.

Chunzhu said excitedly, "Your Highness, the Prince is giving you face. Now, the Prince has entrusted the management of the Prince's Mansion to Your Highness. Not only that, but he has also assigned Granny Qi to serve Your Highness. This is giving Your Highness a lot of face. Let's see who dares to laugh at Your Highness now."

"Don't be too happy yet. The attitudes of Steward Yu and Granny Qi are still unclear. It's best to be careful."

"Yes".

"Alright, let them prepare the meal."

"Yes".

Before long, the servants had prepared the meal.

Su Qianrou got up and went to have her meal.
