After entering the wrong bridal chamber, I went to farm with the powerful minister

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, let alone when they've been apart for six months.

If Fu Ciyi's earlier stroll was a display of feigned modesty, then his current leisurely lying down while Yan Funing shaves him is a sign of restraint.

After shaving his beard clean, he pounced on the man like a hungry wolf and pinned him to the jade bed.

The pool water rippled, filling the room with a serene atmosphere...

Meanwhile, Meng Li followed Fu Beimo back to the Prince's residence.

The two were walking side by side, and before they had returned to their bedroom, they were suddenly blocked by someone.

It was Liu Lü who stopped people, and it was Fu Nanyao who directed Liu Lü to stop people.

"Bei Mo, go back to your bedroom first. Ali and I have something to talk about."

Fu Beimo hissed, "Didn't you say enough to him at the Prince's residence just now?"

"Want you to mind your own business?"

Fu Nanyao was in a bad mood and spoke in a very impatient tone.

"Me, meddling in other people's business?" Fu Beimo laughed. "We're siblings from the same mother. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You just feel like you can't find a good husband, so you've come to Ali again."

"Ridiculous! I'm a princess, is it so difficult for me to choose a consort?" Fu Nanyao retorted sarcastically.

Meng Li looked at her quietly and said gently, "It's not appropriate to make noise here. Why don't you go to the reception room to sit down?"

He strode ahead, not caring whether Fu Nanyao followed or not.

Fu Nanyao was completely taken aback. In the past, when she came to see him, she would always go into his room, but tonight she said she would go to the living room.

However, I still followed.

Fearing that the two would start arguing, Fu Beimo followed them over.

"Choosing a consort is not difficult, but finding someone who truly loves you is difficult. There are plenty of couples who are only together in name, and you simply don't want to feel unimportant."

Upon hearing this, Fu Nanyao turned her head sharply: "You're my brother, how can you not want me to be well?"

“We all want you to be well. My brother and sister-in-law want you to be well, and Ali and I want you to be well too. Ali was distracted on the battlefield, which is why Gongsun Sheng slashed his face.” Fu Beimo shook his head. “If you weren’t selfish, you would know how good Ali is. If you can’t reciprocate his feelings, then don’t only come to him when you think of him, and abandon him when you don’t.”

Fu Nanyao looked at Meng Li: "Was the scar on your face really inflicted by Gongsun Sheng?"

Actually, when she met Lu Wenfeng when she left the Prince's Mansion today, there was a hidden meaning in her words. Unexpectedly, Lu Wenfeng did not give her a chance to speak again and directly refused.

Now Ali doesn't want her, and neither does Lu Wenfeng.

Could it be that she was really wrong?
Now that she has an extremely noble status, those who marry her will have a smoother career and rise to great heights. Why do they all reject her?

Is she really that annoying?

"Who did it doesn't matter," Meng Li said. "Nan Yao, we really aren't a good match."

Upon hearing this, Fu Nanyao seemed to have lost her soul and left in a daze.

Liu Lü quickly followed and helped her up: "Princess, watch your step."

"Was I really wrong?" Fu Nanyao murmured.

“The princess actually knew she was wrong a long time ago. She knew she was wrong when she apologized to the princess. Although the princess knew this, she didn’t want to fully admit it in her heart,” Liu Lu said cautiously.

Fu Nanyao burst into tears: "I hate myself so much too."

I've had vanity since I was a child, and as my status changed, this ridiculous vanity grew bigger and bigger.

She can't go on like this any longer!
She needs to lock herself away and reflect on her actions!
Morning next day.

Long Yi highly praised the invincible victory in this battle, and then said loudly: "As for the affairs of the army in the world, they shall still be under the command of the old Duke. Both the Yan family army, which is on the official roster and not on the official roster, shall receive military pay from the imperial court."

With that, he waved his hand and handed over the military tally.

Yan De stepped forward to accept the gift: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Now that the world is at peace, and the Yan family is restoring its glory since the founding of the dynasty, his duties should be quite relaxed, allowing him to have time for dog walking and goose fighting. Just thinking about it makes me happy.

Long Yi looked at Yan Cheng: "As a Duke, you should naturally serve the country in military affairs. Now that the country is at peace, the position of Prime Minister cannot be vacant. I hope that Duke Yan will make time to take up the position of Prime Minister."

Yan Cheng's lips twitched: "Your Majesty..."

He was a military officer, after all. Wouldn't it be better for him to follow his father in managing military affairs?
I have to make things difficult for him.

Long Yi raised his hand to stop him: "I believe you are capable of the job. The position of prime minister involves a wide range of affairs, and only you are capable of it now."

Cai Tingzhou has already been dealt with, and the old prime minister will be taken down sooner or later.

Before removing the old prime minister, he must choose a trustworthy person to take on this important task.

To be honest, being an emperor is no human being; there are just too many things to do to drive you crazy.

As his in-law, this guy should naturally help him share the burden.

Yan Cheng replied helplessly, "Your subject obeys the decree!"

Yan Xinghe, a civil official, demonstrated exceptional military strategy and practical skills on the battlefield, earning him a two-rank promotion. Regarding his career, Long Yi decided that during times of peace, he should remain in the Hanlin Academy, granting him ample influence within the cabinet.

As for Yuan Yi, the Yuan family is also a family of loyal and capable generals, though the family is now small. Long Yi was promoted to a noble title, and Lord Yuan became Marquis Yuan.

Generals such as Yan Honghou, Pang Gaozhuo, and Yan Bojian were all promoted in rank.

Long Yi acknowledged the loyalty of the Southwest Prince's Mansion. Since the non-royal prince was already of the highest rank, and Jin Lingcen would have no further title to bestow upon him upon inheriting the throne, he rewarded him with many fine gifts.

The rewards were bestowed one by one until it came to Tong Cheng, Leng Feng, Leng Ying, and the others.

Long Yi praised, "You are all heroes. I know you are all Prince Rui's men. Your rewards will be put aside for now."

He then proclaimed in a loud voice: "Long Wenyu is virtuous and talented, kind-hearted, and cares deeply for the people. He is truly a blessing to the Great Jing. He is now established as the Crown Prince and will enter the Eastern Palace. I hope that all the officials in the court will be of one mind and one heart with the Crown Prince."

Fu Ciyi cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Father Emperor!"

The ministers all shouted in unison, "We obey your command! Congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Long Yi nodded in satisfaction and then announced in a loud voice: "Long Wenyu's wife, Yan Funing, is of elegant character and virtuous conduct. She is hereby specially appointed as the Crown Princess."

The Yan family members all expressed their gratitude on behalf of Yan Funing: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Long Yi was in a great mood and bestowed rewards upon the few people who had not yet been rewarded.

People like Tong Cheng, Liu Chengwen, Meng Li, Leng Feng, Leng Ying, Jiang He, Hu Hai, and Li Xinheng were all granted official positions and became officials under the Crown Prince. They all had ranks and received salaries.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor!"

Everyone expressed their gratitude.

Now that they have become officials of the Eastern Palace, they will undoubtedly become pillars of the nation when the Crown Prince inherits the throne.
-
As soon as the morning court session ended, the imperial edict establishing the crown prince and appointing the crown princess arrived at Prince Rui's residence.

Upon receiving the imperial decree, Yan Funing followed protocol and entered the palace to express her gratitude.

Fu Ciyi was already waiting for her in the palace.

The couple both bowed deeply to the Emperor and Empress.

"With the Crown Prince now in the Great Jing Dynasty, one of my worries is finally over," Long Yi said with a smile. "Get up quickly, everyone."

"Thank you, Father!" The couple stood up.

Qiao Wanyou said, "My heart still holds onto these concerns."

"What is it?" Long Yi asked casually.

"Your Majesty, I promise you I will not pressure you to give birth." (End of Chapter)
