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

King Xin: "..."

Suddenly I realized that when outsiders say he is resourceful, they are not praising him, but insulting him!

"My dear niece, the search of those households is over. The silver and grain have been distributed to the people according to their needs." Prince Xin thought of the grateful faces of the people, and he couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart.

One by one, the emaciated people, dressed in tattered clothes, came to receive the gifts, all with tears in their eyes.

Some of them burst into tears on the spot and knelt down to kowtow to them.

Thump, thump, thump, each blow pounding hard against his heart.

Father, what I've always wanted to do is ensure that the people of Da Rui have enough to eat and wear.

And he has just taken over Yanyun City, and he is able to bring blessings to the people of the city. All of this is because of his eldest niece.

How could he not be excited?

"Mm." Qi Zhiyu nodded slightly.

Prince Xin chuckled.

What stirred his heart and soul, failed to elicit even the slightest reaction from his eldest niece.

For Chen An, it was something completely ordinary.

His eldest niece... is unfathomable.

"You should rest now," Prince Xin said, rising to his feet.

Qi Zhiyu nodded slightly.

She watched Prince Xin leave, not quite understanding.

What exactly is he here for?

Just tell her that the things have been distributed to the people?

Is it really necessary to make a special trip for something like this?

She didn't understand, but she didn't delve into it.

She never wastes energy on things that don't concern her.

She would be resting during that time.

Qi Zhiyu is resting, but Prince Xin and his men are busy.

Even when they're busy, they're still in a good mood.

They were happy, but Qi Yan was quite unhappy.

Saying I'm unhappy is being subtle.

His face was as dark as a black cloud overhead, and that cloud was accompanied by lightning and thunder.

"We still haven't found out what the situation is like inside Yanyun City?" Qi Yanhe stared at his subordinate.

The subordinate replied tremblingly, "Your Highness, we now know that all the guards in Yanyun City have been replaced by Prince Xin's men."

"Moreover, the flags on the city walls... also belong to the Great Rui."

Qi Yan was so angry that he slammed the teacup next to him onto the ground.

With a loud bang, the teacup shattered into pieces, splashing hot tea everywhere and leaving an unsightly, messy water stain on the floor.

"Get out!" Qi Yanhe shouted, and his subordinates hurriedly bowed and left.

He was left alone, pacing restlessly in the study with Qi Yan.

What went wrong?

He wanted to take over the city of Da Rui.

Now, he hasn't even touched the border cities of Da Rui, let alone captured them.

On the contrary, their Qi Kingdom's Yanyun City was occupied by Da Rui!

No, he must get Yan Yun back.

Otherwise, if he went back, his elder brother would tear him apart alive.

Qi Yan quickly sorted out various solutions in his mind.

If they were to fight now, not only would it be questionable whether he could defeat Prince Xin, but if a real battle broke out, resulting in heavy losses, his elder brother would not agree.

Ideally, we could retake Yanyun City without deploying troops.

Two days later, Prince Xin went directly to Qi Zhiyu's courtyard to look for her.

"My dear niece, Qi Yan and his entourage have arrived. They are just outside the city. They are traveling light, with only their personal guards with them."

After hearing this, Qi Zhiyu sighed, "What a coward."

"If he had come with force, I would have admired his courage."

"All he knows is how to exploit the Third Princess... No wonder he couldn't get that position back then."

"A complete waste!"

Prince Xin smiled: "My dear niece, shall we go together?"

"Okay." Qi Zhiyu stood up.

She's good at dealing with this kind of person.

only……

"Uncle, how could Grandfather have given birth to such a wretched daughter?" Qi Zhiyu didn't quite understand.

Logically speaking, the Emperor should have properly nurtured each of his children, but this third princess's brain seems to have never developed properly since she was a child.

When asked this question, Prince Xin was both amused and exasperated: "I don't know, maybe..."

"There are spies," Qi Zhiyu said.

"Hmm?" Prince Xin paused, looking at Qi Zhiyu in surprise. "Niece, you mean to say..."

"Did someone deliberately mold Jin Yi into this way so she could marry Qi Yanhe?"

"But what's that person after?"

"Send her son to the throne." Qi Zhiyu had made her point so clear, how could Prince Xin not understand?

"Consort De?" Prince Xin asked in surprise.

"No." Qi Zhiyu shook her head.

Prince Xin was surprised. Had he misunderstood?

Qi Zhiyu corrected, "Now she is Consort Wei."

Prince Xin: "...Is that important?"

"It's important," Qi Zhiyu said seriously. "There's a big difference between a concubine and a high-ranking consort."

King Xin: "..."

headache.

"If that's really the case, then Consort Wei has been planning this for quite a long time," Prince Xin sighed.

Jin Yi's personality is definitely not something that can be cultivated in a year or two.

"The concubines in the harem should have thought about how they would compete for favor and power from the day they entered the palace," Qi Zhiyu said, looking at Prince Xin with a strange expression.

"Isn't this basic procedure?"

"In the imperial harem, how can one survive without vying for power?"

"At home, they are all pampered young ladies. But once they enter the palace, if they don't climb the ranks, their lives are not as good as when they were at home."

"These are all understandable."

Who doesn't want to live a good life?

She didn't think there was anything wrong with arguing.

"You can understand, yet you still treat her this way?" Prince Xin chuckled. "My dear niece, that's a bit of a contradiction."

Qi Zhiyu asked in confusion, "She did nothing wrong. But her mistake was provoking my family."

"The one who messed with me?"

"What does she take me for?"

Qi Zhiyu smiled, which startled Prince Xin.

Why does it feel a little creepy?

I feel uneasy.

"Finding evidence for this matter won't be easy," Prince Xin said after a moment's thought.

It's been too long.

"What kind of evidence do you need?" Qi Zhiyu looked at Prince Xin helplessly. "Uncle, you're too...conventional in your actions."

"Why not just deal with her and the King of Wu, and eventually crush them?"

"Still looking for evidence? What's the point? Do you expect me to reason with them?"

That's hilarious.

King Xin: "..."

He felt that what his eldest niece was trying to say wasn't that he was too conventional in his actions.

As for what word it was, he didn't want to figure it out.

Because he knew that it was definitely not a good word!

"Qi Yanhe should have entered the city, so we..." Prince Xin looked at Qi Zhiyu, silently asking for her opinion.

"Waiting for them at the manor is already giving them face. Uncle, you're not going to go to the city gate to meet them, are you?" Qi Zhiyu chuckled.

"Do they deserve it?"

Prince Xin breathed a sigh of relief: "My dear niece, this is a complete breakdown in relations."

"So be it." Qi Zhiyu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Does the Imperial Uncle intend to hand over Yan Yun City so easily?"

Prince Xin's eyes turned cold, and he made a decision without hesitation: "Let's go, let's wait for them in the front yard."

"They really gave them too much credit!"
