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

"Father?" Prince Rui stared at Emperor Kangwu with a blank yet accusing expression.

It hurt.

"What are you so smug about? Chen'an is also my granddaughter. I'm not proud of her, so what are you so proud of?" Emperor Kangwu scolded.

"How can that be the same?" Prince Rui muttered unconvinced.

"That's my daughter!"

Emperor Kangwu gritted his teeth: "You are all mine, let alone your daughter!"

Prince Rui was shocked: "Father, this is too unreasonable of you."

Why are they even trying to steal my daughter?

If he's so capable, why doesn't his father give birth to him himself?

Why would you rob him?

"Heh... You'll understand when you sit in this position. Sitting here, there's no need to reason with anyone," Emperor Kangwu sneered.

Prince Rui: "...Father, I'm shameless, I really do take after you... Ouch!"

Prince Rui covered his forehead, suddenly feeling that the scene before him was all too familiar.

It seems like my second child also gets beaten up quite often.

Is this all their family tradition?

Prince Rui fell into deep reflection.

So, will he beat the second son less often in the future?

Hmm... no, the second son deserves a beating.

It was his father who shouldn't have hit him.

"Father, I'm already so old." Prince Rui decided to argue his case.

Emperor Kangwu chuckled coldly and said, "You're eighty years old, but you're still my son!"

Prince Rui: "..."

That makes so much sense, I can't argue with it!

"Father, I just saw something in this book that said..." Prince Rui picked up a memorial and began discussing state affairs with Emperor Kangwu.

That topic was too dangerous, and if it continued, he had absolutely no chance of winning.

A sensible person like him won't create problems for himself.

Emperor Kangwu looked at his son, who was seriously changing the subject, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

Their Qi family truly has a worthy successor.

Even after he is gone, and even if his grandson succeeds to the throne, as long as Chen An is there, the country can remain stable for at least a hundred years.

He hoped that his family and the empire would last for ten thousand years, but since many emperors had never achieved such a thing, he gave up on that hope.

He would be content as long as the lineage could continue for several more generations.

Emperor Kangwu knew that his fourth son had lost again.

Moreover, he suffered a hidden loss, a hidden loss that even the fourth brother is unaware of to this day.

What can the fourth brother use to fight against the eldest brother?

It was during these years, while the fourth prince was in the position of crown prince, that he won over the officials in the court.

The eldest brother didn't want to use too drastic methods, so he gradually transitioned.

Otherwise, the fourth brother would probably be dead long ago.

The boss has the means and the ability.

The King of Wu was unaware of his father's opinion of him; he was currently focused on the war at the border.

So far, all the news we've received is good.

If Wei Yifeng performs meritorious service on the battlefield this time, the title of marquis is out of the question, but he still has a way to get the title of earl.

As for Jiang Baihua's side... King Wu sneered.

He naturally knew what the Duke of Wei wanted to do.

Isn't the concern that if Chiang Kai-shek's military power were to be transferred to Wei Yifeng, the Chiang family would be in a passive position?

Since the Duke of Wei has already shown disloyalty towards him, he must seize the military power of the Jiang family.

He has now lost a significant portion of his power to Prince Rui.

Now, the easiest thing for him to take over is the Chiang family's military power.

He certainly wouldn't let it go.

However, the King of Wu was unaware that some things had quietly changed in secret.

For example, those prayer charms.

The abbot instructed that after returning home, it would be best to offer incense every night.

In order to gain fame, Jiang Shuyi bought all the incense that the people used.

There was no problem with the soldiers' families going home to offer incense and pray for blessings.

However, when the families of many soldiers returned home to make offerings, the incense still went out.

They panicked.

Putting aside the fact that the talismans in temples are exceptionally effective, this omen... is not good.

The incense was lit, but it went out as soon as it was inserted into the incense burner.

What does this mean?

Other people's husbands can return home safely, but their husbands are going to have an accident and not come back?

Her husband is the pillar of the family; if something happens to him, their family will be finished!

Women whose family members were not fighting on the battlefield were not too worried, but women whose family members were fighting on the battlefield were going crazy with anxiety.

Fortunately, they were clever and thought of asking someone for help.

"Sister, why won't your incense go out, but mine won't?"

"You know, if something happens to my husband, what will happen to our whole family, young and old?"

They're all good sisters. How could anyone bear to see their own sister crying so miserably?

So the door was closed, the maids and nannies withdrew, and the experience of praying for blessings was quietly passed on.

"Really? You actually wanted to... Is that really the case?" The person stopped crying and asked in astonishment.

How could such a miraculous thing happen?

"It's really like that. If I'm thinking of the King of Wu, it won't work. But if I'm thinking of the King of Rui... then the incense won't go out." The person who was passing on the experience didn't know what to say.

She thought it was a coincidence, but after returning home for a few days, she tried several times and got the same result each time.

"Prince Rui...is he truly the chosen one?" The visitor gasped, covering his mouth in surprise.

I thought of the previous miracles.

If one or two times could be a coincidence, so many times... it must be true.

"Thank you, sister. I know what to do now." The visitor bowed gratefully and went home.

I tried it during my prayers that evening, and sure enough, it worked!

This secret circulated quietly among a limited number of people, and everyone knew better than to make a big fuss about it.

After all, their family was still dependent on the King of Wu.

Whatever it is, let's wait until their husbands return before discussing it.

At this time of year, when the flowers are in full bloom, many ladies and young women go out to admire them and enjoy the scenery.

Jiang Shuyi is also troubled at home, so she goes out to relax whenever she has the chance.

On the one hand, she didn't want to face her nitpicking mother-in-law at home; on the other hand, she also wanted to make more friends.

She always felt that her husband's family was not a good place for her.

It's very likely that in the end, she'll still have to rely on her family.

"Madam, please do not proceed ahead." A maidservant blocked Jiang Shuyi's path.

Jiang Shuyi and her friends' enjoyment of the flowers was immediately ruined.

She frowned deeply: "Is this your master's territory?"

The maidservant curtsied and said, "Princess Chen'an is admiring the flowers ahead. Please take a detour."

Those around Jiang Shuyi gasped in shock.

It turned out that Princess Chen'an was in front; it was best for them not to get too close.

Princess Chen'an is not one to reason.

"Since it's Princess Chen'an here, we might as well go and pay our respects," Jiang Shuyi said with a smile.

"Please inform them."

The maid glanced at Jiang Shuyi and curtsied, saying, "Please wait a moment, Madam."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and went to report.

"Madam Wei, let's forget about it. Let's go somewhere else."

"Yes, there are so many places already, why bother going to all of them?"

They were terrified of Princess Chen'an.

Jiang Shuyi wasn't worried. After she finished her prayer ceremony, she spent a lot of money to give people prayer charms, and now her reputation was at its peak.

Since she had stepped on Qi Zhiyu's foot so often, how could she not gloat a little?
