After the milk ball arrived, the father who had no heirs had a string of good luck.

Prince Chen chuckled and said, "Zhaohua has grown up and become a young lady."

Prince Rui also said, "Zhaohua, why are you dressed as a palace maid?"

Tang Rui: "I thought it was interesting, so I tried it on!"

"Hehe..." Prince Rui laughed, "Zhaohua can't hide her noble bearing no matter what she wears. Girls change a lot as they grow up. We're all getting old."

Prince Chen glanced at him: "You've gotten old, but I haven't!"

Prince Rui chuckled: "Third brother, who was it that told me the other day, 'Oh dear... I have to admit I'm getting old, my back and waist are aching'?"

Prince Chen: "Shut up! My back is perfectly fine!"

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Situ Che smiled helplessly: "Alright, aren't you two afraid that Zhao Hua will laugh at you?"

Prince Chen and Prince Rui: "..."

"Hahaha..." Tang Rui laughed out loud at their joke: "It's alright, it's alright. Seeing that Uncle Chen and Uncle Rui are still so energetic, Zhao Hua is relieved."

Situ Che glanced at her sideways: "You have the nerve to say that? Where did you hide so early in the morning? All the servants in the palace are looking for you! And dressed like that, you're getting more and more unruly."

"..." I'm going to sleep under the bright moon, but would I tell you?

Tang Rui coughed a few times and quickly changed the subject: "Father, you sent me here to talk about Situ Qian and Situ Yue, right?"

Situ Che nodded.

Prince Chen frowned and asked, "Zhaohua, is that rebellious son truly so despicable?"

"Really!" Tang Rui didn't hide anything and told them everything she had found out. Finally, she added, "I've already had General Chu and General Yu imprison Situ Qian. How to deal with him is up to Father and my uncles."

"This child is incorrigible and truly despicable!"

The Prince of Chen was angry at his lack of ambition.

But he is, after all, his son.

Prince Chen finally sighed, stood up and cupped his hands to Situ Che: "Your Majesty, as long as his life is spared, the rest... is entirely up to Your Majesty to decide."

Situ Che: "Then let him be imprisoned for life, so he can spend the rest of his life in prison repenting!"

Prince Chen has devoted himself to assisting him over the years, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is his right-hand man.

We have to give them face!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Prince Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Prince Rui said irritably, "Third brother, your son is bullying my daughter."

Knowing he was in the wrong, Prince Chen said in a good-natured manner, "On the day of Yue'er's wedding, I will have the Princess prepare a generous gift."

"That's more like it!" Prince Rui muttered to himself.

"Um... Uncle Rui!" Tang Rui quickly interjected, "I don't think Situ Yue might be willing to go through with the marriage alliance. This is a major life event for her, so why don't you ask her opinion?"

"Unwilling?" Prince Rui frowned, feeling that his daughter was somewhat ungrateful. "I went through great lengths to secure this marriage for her. She's a convict; why shouldn't she agree? Li Kingdom may be small, but it's still a country. Does she think that a crown prince isn't good enough for her? Or does she think it's better to stay in Youdu until she dies than to marry a crown prince?"

If it weren't for the princess giving birth to his son, and his eldest daughter Situ Yan constantly nagging him about it.

He didn't even want to get involved in this rebellious daughter's affairs.

After all, this daughter had killed two of his children and had tried to kill Situ Yan time and time again.

Such wickedness is appalling.

If he could, he would rather he had never had this daughter.

Tang Rui sensed the disgust in his words. After a moment's hesitation, she still spoke up, "Uncle Rui, Situ Yue has really changed a lot. Why don't you take her home and spend some time with her?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Rui reflexively refused: "That won't do. Your cousin is still young. What if she does something bad again? This is my only son."

He still has a lot of women over the years, but each of them has given birth to a daughter.

Now he has seven daughters, including Situ Yue. With seven golden flowers, he could summon a dragon!

He thought he would never have a son in his life, but five years ago, Princess Rui became pregnant again and gave birth to his only son, who was also a precious legitimate son.

Prince Rui doted on this son to the extreme, fearing that he might stumble or fall. As soon as the child was born, Prince Rui rushed to the palace to ask Situ Che to grant him the title of heir apparent.

Even the Princess Consort's status in his heart rose accordingly, becoming his precious treasure.

Now he rarely goes to the concubines' courtyards anymore; he spends most of his time near Princess Rui.

Situ Yue has a criminal record. What if he hurts his son?

Tang Rui: "..."

Situ Che considered carefully before saying, "Your Highness, I don't mind Situ Yue staying in the palace. But... I think it's ultimately Situ Yue's lifelong matter. Why don't you go back and discuss it with Princess Consort Rui?"

"Very well..." Prince Rui was not clever, but he was obedient.

Over the years, he has lived a quiet and law-abiding life, and the relationship among his brothers has been harmonious.

He learned a lot from his brothers' teachings.

Respecting the princess's wishes is very important.

"Your Majesty, Consort Xu is kneeling outside the palace, requesting an audience..." came the voice of a young eunuch from outside.

Situ Che frowned slightly: "Why is she here?"

"Uh... I guess it's because of me..."

Tang Rui chuckled and told Situ Che everything she had overheard, then said, "I was so angry that I slapped her."

Situ Che's face darkened: "Then how dare she show her face in front of me? If she wants to kneel, then kneel!"

Prince Rui and Prince Chen exchanged a glance, then both rose to take their leave.

The women in the harem are all Situ Che's domestic affairs; it's no longer appropriate for them to stay.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Tang Rui quickly spoke up, "Uncle Chen, I also came here to see my cousin Tan. Can I come with you?"

"Let's go! Tan'er still misses you..." Prince Chen said, a little saddened.

Although the princess gave birth to another son for him, Lin Sanye also left an heir for Situ Tan.

But he had watched Situ Tan grow up, and he had really gone to great lengths, both in terms of his mind and money, to save his life.

Now that my child is nearing the end of his life, even though I was mentally prepared, I still find it hard to accept.

Tang Rui left the palace with Prince Chen. The carriage had not gone far when Chu Jingchuan, having somehow gotten wind of it, eagerly followed.

Seeing him, Tang Rui was speechless: "Your information network is too good!"

Chu Jingchuan said, feeling wronged, "Zhaohua, you don't like me anymore, do you?"

Tang Rui: "..."

Silently glancing at Prince Chen, who seemed to be watching the spectacle with amusement, Chu Jingchuan glared fiercely and said, "What nonsense are you spouting? Uncle Prince Chen is still here!"

Prince Chen laughed and said, "You can pretend I don't exist!"

Tang Rui: "..."

"Zhaohua!" Chu Jingchuan, riding a tall horse, looked even more aggrieved, his eyes brimming with tears. Tang Rui even suspected that he would burst into tears if he blinked.

Tang Rui: "Alright, follow along! The condition is that you shut up!"

"Okay!"

Chu Jingchuan's mood instantly brightened. He dismounted, tossed the reins to the servant, and climbed into the carriage: "This humble servant greets Your Highness Prince Chen."

"No need for formalities!" Prince Chen smiled at him. "Lord Chu was thinking of you the other day. Have you gone back to visit him?"
