The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.

Cultivating one's own network and building one's own power are things that princes do in secret.

It can be done, but it can't be made public.

After Qi Zhiyu said that, they would have to be more restrained in their actions from now on.

With so many concerns, they certainly couldn't devote themselves as fully to the tasks entrusted to them by the King of Wu as they had in the past.

Whether the King of Wu will truly understand them or feel that they have become disloyal... it's hard to say.

The ministers' faces turned pale and then flushed, a truly fascinating sight.

"Princess, you've misunderstood," Wei Guogong said openly.

"The marriage alliance between the Jiang family and the Wei family was not because the Wei family was the maternal family of Consort De."

"It's not that the two children are mutually attracted, but rather that they are kindred spirits."

"Duke of Wei, why are you telling me this?" Qi Zhiyu looked at Duke of Wei in confusion.

"What they do has nothing to do with me?"

The Duke of Wei was furious.

How come it's okay?

If he doesn't explain himself clearly, His Majesty will think he has disloyal intentions.

In order to follow the King of Wu, they don't even respect His Majesty... In that case, how will the Jiang family survive?

"I don't care what you do, as long as you don't offend me," Qi Zhiyu said casually.

"But I just don't like to be wronged."

As Qi Zhiyu spoke, she stretched out her hand: "Show some sincerity and apologize to me, is that alright?"

"Your sincerity depends on how much silver you give."

"I'll be waiting for your apology at Prince Rui's residence."

Everyone: "..."

Are people this blunt about asking for money?

Aren't they going to package it up or come up with a respectable excuse?

"Grandfather, my matter has been resolved, so I'll head back now." Qi Zhiyu looked at Emperor Kangwu.

Emperor Kangwu nodded with amusement: "Go then."

Qi Zhiyu curtsied and left immediately.

As she left, she also took the smile from Emperor Kangwu's face: "Fourth Prince, I don't care how you fight amongst yourselves in secret."

"But you should know how to maintain boundaries."

The King of Wu hurriedly kowtowed: "Father, I know I was wrong."

"Hmm." Emperor Kangwu stood up, walked past the people kneeling on the ground, and left.

Grand Secretary Zhang followed closely behind and left.

Back in the Imperial Study, Grand Secretary Zhang finally couldn't help but laugh: "Your Majesty, the Princess is truly amusing."

"This girl... she's too naughty." Emperor Kangwu said with a hint of disdain, but his eyes and brows were full of smug smiles.

How could he not be happy with such a granddaughter?

"King Wu, this time the loss is huge," Grand Secretary Zhang lamented.

Besides losing the financial support of Madame Chiang's family, he also became estranged from his followers.

Princess Chen'an, she literally pried open a rift between the King of Wu and his followers!

What was once an unbreakable partnership may not be so in the future.

"What are Chen'an and the abbot going to do?" Emperor Kangwu couldn't understand.

"The princess went to worship Buddha?" After saying this, Grand Secretary Zhang silently shut his mouth again.

Princess Chen'an doesn't seem like someone who would worship Buddha.

With her fearless spirit, he thought it was possible that she was capable of killing gods and Buddhas.

"There must be a reason why she went to the temple." Emperor Kangwu was convinced that his guess was correct.

Grand Secretary Zhang: "...Your Majesty, isn't what the princess has done enough?"

He harmed both the Duke of Wei and the King of Wu, and destroyed the trust between them.

Is this still not enough?

"Others' words are enough, but... you know what Chen'an is like." Emperor Kangwu smiled smugly.

"She made a special trip to the outskirts of the city and even went up the mountain."

"She went through so much trouble, and all she got back was this... It's a loss for her."

Grand Secretary Zhang: "..."

I have to admit, what His Majesty is thinking might actually be quite possible.

However, he couldn't understand what relationship the temple could have with the princess.

Emperor Kangwu and Grand Secretary Zhang were pondering Qi Zhiyu's deeper meaning, while Qi Zhiyu, upon returning to Prince Rui's residence, immediately ordered the storerooms to be quickly organized.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Qi Jingxi curiously leaned over and watched the servants busily tidying up the storeroom.

"Someone will bring the silver over in a little while." After saying that, Qi Zhiyu suddenly turned her head and stared at Qi Jingxi.

Qi Jingxi touched his face, feeling uneasy under his sister's gaze: "Sis, why are you looking at me like that?"

"Second Brother, have you finished your shift at this hour?" Although she had never been an official, this timing seemed off.

"Oh, nothing much to do, I'll be going now." Qi Jingxi shrugged. "Anyway, I'm a playboy."

"Isn't this normal?"

Qi Zhiyu suddenly laughed: "What? Is Qi Jinghong again urging you to do your job properly?"

"Did his colleagues in the Ministry of Personnel all hear his earnest advice?"

"Yes, that's right." Qi Jingxi said happily.

He just likes talking to his sister.

His sister will know immediately what he's going to do.

He always felt something was off about Qi Pingle from before.

How could such a simple-minded person come from their family?

Sure enough, it's different when they're not related by blood.

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly. Her second brother had his own plans, so she wouldn't interfere.

She told Qi Jingxi about what had happened that day.

After hearing this, Qi Jingxi almost knelt down before her sister: "Sis... you're so much better!"

ruthless!

That's really ruthless!

But it felt so satisfying to hear that!

Those guys have always sided with the King of Wu, bullying his father and his family.

Now you've finally met your match, you've suffered a loss!

Should!

"But why are you still trying to matchmake Jiang Shuyi and Wei Yifeng?" Qi Jingxi didn't quite understand.

"Aren't you afraid of them joining forces?"

"Qiangqiang?" Qi Zhiyu asked in surprise.

Qi Jingxi: "...At least, the Wei family is the maternal family of Consort De."

"Heh." Qi Zhiyu scoffed, "The Wei family only has Wei Yifeng left. The other collateral branches and illegitimate children... are not worth mentioning at all."

"How could Jiang Shuyi not harbor resentment after marrying into such a family?"

"That's right, you should be resentful. I did this to make her unhappy," Qi Zhiyu said with amusement.

"Who told her to come and cause me trouble just because she's Wei Yifeng's fiancée?"

"I don't have many other strengths, except for a good memory, especially a grudge-holding one!"

Qi Jingxi nodded in agreement, "Sis, you're right."

"Don't be soft-hearted!"

"Even if there was a grudge, we settled it on the spot. But they still disgusted us."

"We absolutely cannot let them get away with this!"

Qi Zhiyu looked at her second brother, who was speaking earnestly, and laughed.

She likes family members who share her ideas.

She hates the kind of guy who tries to make her let go of her hatred and be magnanimous.

Those who offer advice are either talking without understanding the situation or they themselves haven't suffered any loss or harm.

Of course, there is another situation where the victim chooses to forgive, not because they want to forgive, but because they are unable to retaliate and can only forgive.

Just like the saying goes, suffering a loss is a blessing.

That's just self-consolation when there's no other way.

She has the ability to fight back, so why should she suffer a loss?

If anyone dares to advise her that suffering a loss is a blessing, she will wish that person boundless happiness!
