Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

Ying Yufu glanced at the Crown Prince.

The crown prince lowered his eyes, as if it were none of his business.

Ying Yufu thought to herself, "Looking at His Highness the Crown Prince, it seems he's unwilling."

Ying Yufu asked, "Your Majesty, have you inquired about the Crown Prince's opinion?"

Just then, the prince, who had been keeping his eyes down and mind focused, suddenly moved.

He stepped forward, knelt upright, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I am willing."

Emperor Cangxuan glanced at the Crown Prince.

A slight twitch at the corner of his lips.

"The Crown Prince is willing, Fu'er, what about you?"

Ying Yufu blinked.

Then blinked again.

She looked at the Crown Prince, her expression somewhat bewildered.

The prince blinked, then blinked again, his face clearly saying, "Please say yes, please say yes!"

Ying Yufu thought the Crown Prince was quite good, much better than the Second Prince.

So she replied, "Your Majesty, Fu'er is also willing."

"Hahaha, great!"

Emperor Cangxuan laughed heartily, his mood was extremely good.

He looked at Ying Yufu with a sigh and said, "Back when the Crown Prince was not yet born, Qiongzhang and your mother said that if your mother gave birth to a daughter in the future, she would become in-laws with your mother."

But life is unpredictable; Qiongzhang passed away after giving birth to the crown prince.

Instead, the empress gave birth to a second son and arranged a marriage between the two of you.

After much back and forth, in the end, Qiongzhang's wish was granted.

The Qiongzhang mentioned by Emperor Cangxuan is the Qiongzhang of Empress Yuanhouhai.

Ying Yufu was genuinely surprised, as her mother had never told her about this before.

"During the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, I will bestow a marriage between the Crown Prince and you."

Emperor Cangxuan made the final decision with a single blow.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Thank you, Father Emperor!"

Ying Yufu and the Crown Prince knelt down to express their gratitude.

[Ding! Face-slapping mechanism triggered!]

【Host, at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, please ask the Emperor to grant you and the Crown Prince a marriage, thus humiliating the Second Prince and the Empress.】

During this time, please protect yourself and avoid being schemed against, then you will successfully prove them wrong!

Ying Yufu's heart skipped a beat. It was inevitable that His Majesty would bestow a marriage upon her and the Crown Prince at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

However, Xiao Dian told her to protect herself during this time.

Ying Yufu clenched her fists. Anyone who dared to ruin her plans during this time would be made to pay dearly.

"You two, get up."

Emperor Cangxuan had a big smile on his face.

Yu Li could not hide her joy. His Majesty's actions today all demonstrated his trust in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

"Yu Li, I will not announce to you yet that I have appointed you as General Zhennan. I have a task for you."

"Please give your orders, Your Majesty."

Yu Li immediately knelt down.

A cold glint flashed in Emperor Cangxuan's eyes. "I want you and General Zhenxi to go to the border in secret and in the open to investigate the whereabouts of the Duke of Zhenguo."

Yu Li glanced at Ying Yufu subconsciously.

Fu'er had given herself and the Flying Tigers this mission beforehand.

Fu'er asked him not to leave for the next two days.

He didn't understand why Fu'er wanted him to stay first, but today, he seemed to understand.

It seems that Fu'er has been plotting to take back the credit for suppressing the rebellion.

Yu Li took a deep breath and said, "Your subject obeys the decree."

Ying Yufu was excited.

A glint of tears appeared in her eyes. In this way, the border would not follow the same old path as in her dream.

"Fu'er thanks Your Majesty!" Ying Yufu expressed her heartfelt gratitude.

Emperor Cangxuan snorted lightly, "You little girl were wary of me before."

He seemed displeased.

Ying Yufu knelt down sincerely to admit her mistake, "It was Fu'er's fault, Fu'er will never do it again."

"snort."

Emperor Cangxuan snorted and said, "All of you, leave."

The crowd should retreat.

The crown prince followed.

"Your Highness!"

The Crown Prince was stopped by Emperor Cangxuan.

The prince paused, then reluctantly turned around.

He looked at Emperor Cangxuan with a resentful expression.

Eunuch He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince has finally gotten his wish."

"Hmph, look at how worthless he is!"

Emperor Cangxuan's expression was playful.

The crown prince looked resentful: "Father, you didn't keep me here just to laugh at me, did you?"

Emperor Cangxuan gave him a disdainful look. "Get lost."

The crown prince turned and left without looking back.

After the Crown Prince left, Eunuch He said with a smile, "Your Majesty, why did you tease His Highness the Crown Prince? He's getting impatient."

Emperor Cangxuan looked disdainful.

"When I was in love with Qiongzhang back then, I wasn't as unreserved as he is."

At most, it's three love letters a day.

Morning, noon, and evening.

……

The Crown Prince quickly caught up with Ying Yufu.

"Were you frightened by Father's overly serious demeanor in the palace just now?"

The Crown Prince walked to Ying Yufu's side and asked without looking at her.

Ying Yufu shook her head: "How could that be? His Majesty exudes imperial majesty and righteous indignation."

The crown prince raised an eyebrow in disdain. "You don't need to flatter him now that we're not in his presence."

Ying Yufu asked curiously, "Your Highness, why did you accept the marriage bestowed upon us by His Majesty?"

She turned her head, her dark, bright eyes looking at him with a hint of inquiry and curiosity.

There was no shyness.

The crown prince's ears turned red.

He glanced at her and said, "I feel quite compatible with you."

Ying Yufu seemed to be thinking about something, then nodded solemnly and said, "I also feel quite compatible with His Highness the Crown Prince."

"If it weren't for His Highness the Crown Prince, how could I have ended up in the imperial prison today? Nor would I have been able to reclaim the military merits that belonged to my uncle."

Ying Yufu suddenly became happy, "Your Highness, from now on, you will be my greatest support!"

"Do you keep other male lovers?"

The crown prince asked earnestly.

Ah this!

A pang of regret flashed through Ying Yufu's heart. She said, "Your Highness, rest assured, I will not seek out male concubines while you are alive."

Crown Prince: ...

The crown prince looked at her speechlessly, "You don't have to be so honest!"

"I was just kidding. I won't have male lovers. I won't let others laugh at you."

The crown prince expressed his satisfaction.

"I heard that the Marquis of Chengen's family was raided and exiled today. Shall we go and see what's going on?" he invited enthusiastically.

Ying Yufu's eyes lit up. "Great! Let's go see what's going on!"

Half an hour later.

Two inconspicuous figures appeared among the crowd watching outside the Chengen Earl's Mansion.

One was an ordinary-looking scholar in blue robes, and the other was a pretty young woman.

The two looked like a young couple, standing side by side, tiptoeing and peering into the crowd.

"My granddaughter, my dearest granddaughter, your grandmother almost missed you!"

An elderly woman dressed in extravagant clothes stood at the entrance of the Chengen Earl's Mansion, holding Xue Lingyi and wailing loudly.

Xue Lingyi was initially stunned and bewildered, but after she came to her senses, she was so overjoyed that she almost fainted.

Madam Xue was also shocked. She said incredulously, "Madam Anqing, you're not joking, are you?"
