Chu Wuhen said in a deep voice: "Bailigan, the fifth prince who appeared suddenly is said to be the illegitimate son left by the old Nanjiang king in his early years."

"Why did the illegitimate son suddenly seize the throne? How could he have such a great ability? The power of the two princes is deep-rooted. What can he use to contend with them?"

Xie Shuangge was puzzled and even suspected that she was dreaming.

Chu Wuhen pursed his lips and said: "This is not clear yet, people from Jiyinglou and Jinyiwei have already gone to investigate, and it is estimated that there will be news soon, but Bailigan's succession is not a good thing for Dayan. "

"How to say?" Seeing his serious expression, Xie Shuangge also became nervous.

"We know the other two princes quite well. We know how much they weigh and what their weaknesses are, but we don't know anything about Bailigan, and it was the old Nanjiang king who passed the throne to him personally, and also his own All the power is left to him, if he has the heart, Dayan and Nanjiang will not be far away."

Chu Wuhen frowned, feeling heavy.

Xie Shuangge was also silent, "In this way, it is indeed a trouble, but he has just succeeded to the throne, the eldest prince and the third prince should not accept it, and they must make trouble for him, and he probably won't be able to spare Dayan for a while. .”

Chu Wuhen nodded, "That's the reason, but prevent problems before they happen. Today, His Majesty summoned a group of ministers to discuss matters in the imperial study until evening, just to discuss the defense of the frontier."

"I see."

Xie Shuangge picked up the cup of tea and took a sip: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, I hope there will be no accidents, and let everyone celebrate the New Year safely."

"Speaking of Chinese New Year..." Chu Wuhen paused for a moment, then looked at her questioningly, "Old lady...grandmother intends to let me go to Zhen Guogong's mansion to celebrate Chinese New Year."

"That's a good thing. In the past, you didn't have any relatives around you during the Chinese New Year. Now that you have finally recognized your ancestors, of course you have to go home for the New Year." Xie Shuangge didn't think so much, and was sincerely happy for him.

Chu Wuhen held her hand helplessly, and said in a low and gentle voice, "I wanted to live with the princess."

Xie Shuangge was taken aback, "Me?"

"Isn't the princess alone in previous years?" Chu Wuhen's bright eyes seemed to have fallen stars.

Xie Shuangge saw her little self inside.

in previous years……

A few years ago, she was keeping filial piety for her parents, and the Chinese New Year and festivals had nothing to do with her. After the filial piety period, she lived with the queen mother in the palace, but the queen mother was old and seldom kept the old age. When the hour came, she was the only one left people.

Everyone else was with her parents, she occasionally went to the palace to join in the fun, and more often she hid in her own mansion.

The more lively the place, the more lonely she feels, and as time goes by, she doesn't think much about the New Year.

Unexpectedly, Chu Wuhen thought of this.

She recovered and smiled, "Where did we live?"

"At the Princess Mansion, call Xin Xing, Xin Zhi, and the others, and we'll have a lively table together, eat and drink in the yard, and watch fireworks together to watch the new year. How does the princess feel?"

Xie Shuangge was seduced by him, and there was a bit of unconscious longing in her eyes, but soon she calmed down again, "But you should go back to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, they are waiting for you, you shouldn't slip away halfway, right?" ?”

"They are all reasonable people, and they will not have any prejudice against the princess because of this, and—" Chu Wuhen pinched Xie Shuangge's fingertips and said, "I don't intend to go back alone."

Xie Shuangge was stunned: "You mean..."

"Although I'm not married, I didn't say that I can't take the princess home for the New Year." Chu Wuhen smiled and shook his hand, coaxing in a low voice, "Do you want the princess to go home with my minister?"

Xie Shuangge was heartbroken, but still hesitated, "Is this appropriate? I don't care if someone sees you and gossips, but isn't it good for the Zhen Guo government?"

"Silly princess." Chu Wuhen scratched the tip of her nose with his fingers, "Let's go secretly, so that no one else can see it. Only our family will know."

Now that the story has come to this point, Xie Shuangge really has no reason to refuse, she agrees anxiously and expectantly, "Okay."

……

For a period of time after that, Chu Wuhen was still very busy, leaving early and returning late, and sometimes it was already midnight when he came back. He was afraid that Xie Shuangge would wait for him, so he told her not to wait for him before it got dark. See her for the first time.

Xie Shuangge was busy preparing birthday presents for him during this time, but she didn't have time to see him. The two of them were busy with each other, so it would be nice to see each other once in ten days.

After finally getting to Xiumu, the first thing Chu Wuhen did was to ask Xin Lu about the dowry.

Xin Lu took out a thick booklet and handed it to him, "These are the dowry gifts prepared by the subordinates according to the master's instructions. Please have a look at them, and if there is anything inappropriate, the subordinates will make changes."

Chu Wuhen sat on the mahogany armchair, carefully looked at it from beginning to end, and nodded in satisfaction: "It's pretty good, there's nothing wrong with it."

Xin Lu had a complicated expression, "Master, as soon as this dowry list is handed out, you will be ruined."

Xin Wucao came back from the outside, and laughed when he heard this, "The master and the princess will be a family in the future, who do you think will end up with this betrothal gift?"

Xin Lu blinked, "Hiss—that's right, the family doesn't distinguish between each other, and it's still back to the master in the end."

"The master is going to marry the princess, but the princess has no parents. These dowries are equivalent to being given directly to the princess. When they get married, these are all from the couple. What is there to be reluctant to give now?"

Xin Wu glanced at Xin Lu with disgust.

Xin Lu ground his teeth, and while she was turning around, he punched her behind the back.

Chu Wuhen who looked at his childish behavior: "..."

"Cough—" Chu Wuhen coughed lightly, Xin Wu saw that Xin Lu quickly withdrew his hand in fright, and accidentally hit the shelf next to him, causing him to gasp in pain.

Xin Wu looked at him suspiciously: "What are you doing?"

Xin Lu managed to force a smile: "No, I'm not doing anything, I'm active."

Xin Wu: "..."

Fool.

"Hey, you are all here, ah, the master is also here." Xin Zhi strode into the courtyard, stood still and cupped his hands at Chu Wuhen: "Master."

"Why are you back? Did you find out what I asked you to check?"

Chu Wuhen's eyes narrowed slightly.

Xin Zhi nodded, his brow was sweating in the cold weather, and his expression was excited, "The emperor pays off, and my subordinates have found—"

He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and wrote a place name on it: Zhangjia Village, Paoma County, Luoxia City.

"Huh?" Chu Wuhen raised his eyebrows.

Xinzhi explained: "The pulse case of Concubine Mei Gui when she was pregnant can no longer be found, and it must have been disposed of by someone. The subordinates wanted to start with the imperial physician who took over her, and found that the imperial physician resigned early 18 years ago due to physical discomfort. Returning to his hometown, he died of illness in the second year at home, and his widow raised his son alone, and died ten years later."

"That son is a mud that can't support the wall. He is addicted to gambling. When his mother died and was left alone, the family was ruined. Now he is almost [-] years old and has not yet married. He has moved to the village."

Xin Zhi rubbed his hands and said, "Xin Ying has asked the people from Ji Ying Lou to get in touch with the son of Imperial Physician Zhang, but Luoxia City is too far away, and there are so many small villages below, I'm afraid I won't be able to find them in a while. etc."
