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

Emperor Kangwu invited the Prince of Wu in, wanting to see what kind of trouble the fourth prince would cause this time.

To be honest, he really didn't pay attention to the fourth brother during this period.

With Chen An around, he knew that the fourth brother couldn't come up with anything funny.

Now that the national treasury is full, he no longer needs to be as restrained as before, and with his boss back to help, he naturally wants to do more things boldly.

What has the fourth brother been doing lately?

I have absolutely no recollection of Emperor Kangwu.

Soon, the King of Wu arrived with his queen. Upon entering, the two knelt down respectfully to pay their respects.

Emperor Kangwu waved his hand, telling them to get up.

After the King of Wu stood up, he cupped his hands and said, "Father, it is all my fault."

"It was my fault for not thinking things through properly."

Emperor Kangwu looked at him with curiosity.

The fourth brother actually realized that he hadn't thought things through properly; that's progress.

"It's because my son has been busy with matters in Yiyang Prefecture these days," King Wu said earnestly.

Emperor Kangwu sighed inwardly; he shouldn't have had any expectations of his fourth son.

After King Wu finished speaking, he did not receive a response from Emperor Kangwu, and he felt inexplicably sad.

Doesn't the Emperor care what he's doing anymore?

Indeed, Prince Rui is at the height of his power and spirit right now, so how could Father Emperor not see him?

It has always been like this.

No matter what he did, he could not please his father.

It was also by divine intervention that he discovered Prince Rui's infatuation with his wife's younger sister, which allowed him to use Tang Jingrou to successfully remove Prince Rui from his position as crown prince.

Unfortunately, Prince Rui later fell in love with someone else and no longer liked Tang Jingrou.

What a heartless man.

If Prince Rui were acting normally, how could he have lost his position as crown prince?

He will not admit defeat; he will definitely take back everything that belongs to him!

"When Zhou Lizhen was the prefect of Yiyang Prefecture, he was corrupt and abused his power, harming many people." Since Emperor Kangwu couldn't respond, King Wu spoke up himself.

"Those people must have suffered a lot of injustice. Your Majesty is investigating thoroughly and will give them justice."

"Recently, I have been busy with matters in Yiyang Prefecture, which is why my princess went to the temple to pray for the people who have suffered injustice and misfortune."

Since the King of Wu had already said so much, the Queen Consort of Wu immediately chimed in, "Father, it was all because I was too hasty at the time."

"Your Majesty, I am just worried that I might anger the gods and be unable to pray for the people of Yiyang Prefecture."

"That's why I spoke, and offended Chen An."

Qi Zhiyu smiled faintly.

What a fine King Wu and Queen Wu! They were truly devoted to the people.

Emperor Kangwu looked at Chen An, somewhat puzzled. What was this girl up to this time?

Princess Wu apologized to Chen An, saying, "Chen An, I acted rashly at the time; it was my fault."

"Princess Consort Wu, wasn't it Fu Xinyu who accused me back then? How did it become you?" Qi Zhiyu asked, puzzled.

"Are you saying that everything Fu Xinyu did was at your behest?"

Princess Wu choked and hurriedly explained, "No, no... Chen'an, you've misunderstood."

"What I meant was that I blurted it out in public in a moment of panic: it's not right for you to kill and eat meat in a Buddhist sanctuary."

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and said, "So, you even went out of your way to tell your grandfather about it, did you?"

"They say I'm disrespectful to the gods."

Princess Wu's intentions were exposed, but she would not admit it.

"Chen'an, you've misunderstood. I'm just apologizing to you," Princess Wu sighed softly, looking aggrieved.

"Oh, so now you're accusing me of having dirty thoughts and misunderstanding you." Qi Zhiyu nodded in understanding.

"No, I absolutely did not mean that," Princess Wu shook her head anxiously.

She spoke of Chen An like that in front of His Majesty, but she couldn't let His Majesty know that she meant it.

She knew perfectly well how much His Majesty favored Qi Zhiyu.

"Since it's not that I have dirty thoughts, then you're complaining to my royal grandfather, aren't you?" Qi Zhiyu raised an eyebrow, "accusing me of disrespecting the gods, delaying your prayers for the people, and disregarding their lives."

Princess Wu felt Emperor Kangwu's gaze and hurriedly explained, "No, no... it's all my fault."

"I was being narrow-minded."

"You ate meat in the back mountain, and besides, the gods wouldn't be so harsh on mortals. It's my fault."

After finishing her speech with difficulty, Princess Wu felt her face burning.

Qi Zhiyu... is utterly shameless!

They actually forced her to admit her mistake!

She was wrong, she was reckless, she was inconsiderate; Qi Zhiyu did nothing wrong.

Qi Zhiyu became the one who was wronged!

Princess Wu was so angry that her chest ached.

How could Qi Zhiyu be so insidious?

"Fourth Prince, it's fine for your family to think about the people, but you can't let innocent people get involved," Emperor Kangwu said.

The King of Wu immediately bowed and admitted his mistake: "Father's reprimand is correct."

"It's because I've been so busy lately that I've neglected some things."

"Although Zhou Lizhen's corruption and abuse of power are due to his improper conduct, I only valued his abilities and failed to investigate him thoroughly, which is my fault."

"Your subject just wants to do his best to make amends to the people of Yiyang Prefecture who have been oppressed by Zhou Lizhen."

Emperor Kangwu nodded slowly: "Hmm."

Ok?

The King of Wu was astonished.

Is this all the Emperor's reaction is?

He said so much, but his father had no further questions.

For example, what did he do for those people?

Never mind, once things have yielded results, Father will naturally know his abilities.

"Chen'an has been wronged, and it's not something you can get away with just apologizing." Emperor Kangwu naturally wanted to stand up for his beloved granddaughter.

"Grandfather," Qi Zhiyu called out, "Actually, Princess Wu didn't do it on purpose."

"If Fu Xinyu hadn't acted so rudely and made a scene, she wouldn't have misunderstood anything."

"If there is any fault, it is because the Fu family did not discipline their daughter properly."

Upon hearing this, Lord Fu broke out in a cold sweat.

He was a lecturer, responsible for lecturing His Majesty and the Crown Prince on classics and history.

He can't even teach his own children properly... How can he keep his position?

"Your Majesty... I am guilty." Lord Fu kowtowed heavily.

On the contrary, Fu Xinyu, who was hanging her head, almost bit her lower lip.

It was clearly Princess Wu who arranged for her to persuade Qi Zhiyu, but now that something has gone wrong, everyone is blaming her.

"Grandfather, forget it." Qi Zhiyu waved his hand. "Miss Fu may be inexperienced and not well-versed in etiquette."

"Grandfather, you can send two well-behaved nannies to Miss Fu so that she can learn from them."

"After all, Miss Fu will eventually enter the gates of the Wu Prince's Mansion."

"If Miss Fu continues to act so irrationally, it will be a disgrace to the royal family."

Emperor Kangwu smiled with satisfaction: "Chen'an, you are truly kind-hearted and magnanimous."

"This is the demeanor that royalty should have."

The King of Wu turned green upon hearing this.

What does Father mean by this?

His queen and his son's future wife neither had royal demeanor, so does that mean he didn't either?

Royal blood... He's not worthy?
