Not long after, Xiaobai returned with a young girl.
"Huh? You're the daughter of Marquis Su Hu of Yizhou!"
The moment Shang Qingjun saw the girl, she recognized her identity.
As the president who controls the eastern branch of the Merchant Alliance, Shang Qingjun has a certain understanding of many important figures in the various forces under his jurisdiction.
Su Daji, the daughter of the Marquis of Yizhou, was renowned for her beauty that could topple kingdoms. Shang Qingjun had also commissioned a portrait of her to be drawn, so he recognized her at a glance.
"This humble girl, Su Daji, greets Princess Suzhi, the Prince Consort, and Sister Shang!"
Su Daji removed the veil from her face, revealing an absolutely beautiful face.
"What a beautiful young girl!"
Even Madam Yin, who never cared about appearances, couldn't help but feel her eyes light up at just one glance.
There's no way around it; when it comes to beauty alone, even among her sisters, few could rival Su Daji.
More importantly, Su Daji still looks somewhat immature. I wonder how stunning she will be when she fully matures.
Thinking to herself, Madam Yin secretly glanced at Ao Yifan beside her and saw that he looked perfectly normal, so she nodded in satisfaction.
"Indeed, I made the right choice in choosing a consort. He remains so calm in the face of such a stunningly beautiful girl!"
"Oh? It's you, beautiful lady!"
At this moment, Nezha, who was eating, also recognized Su Daji.
"The Third Prince saved my life today, and Daji has come to express her gratitude!"
Su Daji bowed gracefully.
"fine!"
Nezha waved his hand dismissively and said, "My mother always taught me to do a good deed every day, and my father also taught me to help the weak and punish the strong. These are things I should do."
Hearing her son's words, Madam Yin couldn't help but smile with relief.
At this moment, she felt that her education was a success, and that Nezha had finally grown into the obedient child she wanted.
However, Lady Yin's joy was short-lived, as Su Daji's next words startled her.
"But, Third Prince, do you know that those you killed today were the King's personal guards? If the King finds out about this, I'm afraid..."
Su Daji hesitated for a moment, but still honestly told the truth about the seriousness of the matter.
After all, she didn't want Princess Suzhi's family to suffer an undeserved disaster because of her.
"Huh? Zha'er, you killed your uncle's personal guard?"
Madam Yin frowned.
"I don't know this either!"
Nezha shook his head and said, "This is my first time in Chaoge City. How would I know any personal guards?"
"That's true, it's not your fault."
Madam Yin nodded and said, "After all, you are still a child, it's normal that you don't recognize me."
"Hehe, it's alright. Ignorance is no excuse. I think Zha'er's uncle won't blame Zha'er."
Ao Yifan said with a smile from the side.
Hearing their conversation, Su Daji was slightly surprised.
Those were the king's personal guards; they looked far too calm.
Although it was unexpected, Su Daji couldn't help but glance at Ao Yifan a few more times.
The first two times, I saw it from a distance, so it wasn't very clear.
Now, upon closer inspection, Su Daji discovered that this prince consort was even taller and more heroic than she had imagined.
"Moreover, ever since I came in, he only glanced at himself once, and he was clearly a virtuous gentleman who was not swayed by beauty!"
Su Daji's heart pounded.
Having been beautiful since childhood, Su Daji had become accustomed to people being bewitched by her beauty.
However, after getting used to these gazes, the sudden appearance of someone who wasn't fascinated by her beauty piqued Su Daji's curiosity.
More importantly, she secretly harbored feelings for this person, which was even more fatal.
Just then, another maid came to report that a man claiming to be the Marquis of Yizhou had come to visit outside the princess's residence.
"Let them in!"
"That's what Madam Yin said."
Soon, Su Hu led Su Quanzhong in.
After glancing at his youngest daughter, Su Hu bowed to Madam Yin.
"Su Hu greets Princess Su Zhi!"
"Su Quanzhong pays his respects to Princess Suzhi!"
"Yes, Marquis of Yizhou, there's no need for such formalities!"
Lady Yin said, "I am already aware of the matter concerning Daji. I will handle the follow-up matters myself, so you don't need to worry."
"I am frightened!"
Su Hu and his children quickly bowed and paid their respects. He hadn't expected that the princess would be so easy to talk to and would actually take on the matter so readily.
"It's alright. This matter was caused by Your Majesty's overly aggressive actions. I will report the whole story to Your Majesty."
Madam Yin waved her hand and said.
"Thank you, Your Highness Princess!"
……
"You mean, Su Zhi's third son killed my personal guards?"
After listening to Bigan's report, Di Xin was quite surprised and said, "I remember that when Su Zhi wrote last time, her third son was born, which was only a little over two years ago. Uncle, are you sure that a two-year-old child could kill my fierce and shrewish personal guards?"
“Your Majesty, although this matter may sound unbelievable, it is absolutely true. Moreover, I have already sent someone to the Princess’s residence to confirm it.”
Bi Gan said.
As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Di Xin's reaction.
Over the years, for some unknown reason, Di Xin's temper has become increasingly worse.
In the entire palace, only Queen Jiang could offer some advice.
Other ministers, if they disobeyed in the slightest, would be reprimanded at best, and flogged at worst.
In recent years, several court officials who neglected their duties have been flogged to death.
Therefore, all the court officials were filled with anxiety, and even Bi Gan, the king's uncle, was cautious when facing the increasingly powerful Emperor Xin.
"it is good!"
But the next moment, Di Xin's reaction surprised Bigan.
Even Bigan himself doubted his own ears.
Knowing that Princess Su's third son killed the king's personal guards, the king actually said "good"?
Is he so angry that he's saying the opposite of what he means?
However, seeing the king's beaming face, Bigan knew that this was not sarcasm; Di Xin was genuinely happy about this.
"Hahaha, I have often heard the Queen say that the third son is more outstanding than his two older brothers. Now it seems that she was not lying to me. I am even more curious about what my little nephew is capable of."
Di Xin said with an expectant look on his face.

Because of preparations for Yin Jiao's investiture ceremony, the palace has been under tight security these past few days, and even Princess Suzhi has not had the opportunity to enter the palace, which is the rule.
However, this was no challenge for Ao Yifan.
After all, the sheer amount of Yin Shang fortune emanating from him far surpassed even that of Lady Yin.
In this way, the palace became like Ao Yifan's own backyard.
"Father, I want some candy!"
[I hope readers will remember our domain name]
In Ao Yifan's arms, a beautifully sculpted little girl was snuggling up to him.
This is Yin Susu, the third child of Ao Yifan and Queen Jiang.
"Alright, Susu, you've gained weight recently, so you need to eat less sugar. Also, you haven't finished your homework for today."
Beside her, Queen Jiang waved her hand, signaling the palace maid to take Yin Susu away to complete her daily lessons.
"Phew, the little girl is finally gone. Su Su is just too clingy to you."
After Yin Susu was taken away, Consort Huang immediately took her place.
Hugging Ao Yifan's neck, Huang Fei said coquettishly, "My lord, I've recently been studying some new knowledge..."
Queen Jiang rolled her eyes at the two of them, but then she began to study seriously.
……
"By the way, is Your Majesty really planning to take action against the feudal lords this time?"
The clouds dispersed and the rain stopped. Consort Huang was already asleep. Ao Yifan held Queen Jiang and asked.
"kindness"
Queen Jiang nodded and said, "Some time ago, when the sun was shining brightly for ten days, many rumors and gossip spread, even reaching the palace. The king was furious and executed several ministers. Afterward, he planned to use the investiture ceremony of Jiao'er to summon eight hundred princes to Chaoge City, intending to use this opportunity to warn the eight hundred princes."
"Our king is as formidable as ever."
Ao Yifan said with a smile, "Securing Jiao'er's position as crown prince will not only stabilize the hearts of the people in the court, but also provide an opportunity to test the reactions of the eight hundred lords. It's a win-win situation."
