How could my childhood sweetheart be the current empress?

At this time, the old man with a curly beard sitting next to Prince Jing also stroked his beard and laughed.

"I'll tell you, Prince Yu will definitely show his true colors."

"My Lord, it's great!"

The master gave Prince Jing a thumbs up.

Taking advantage of his interest, Prince Jing shouted to his men:

"Get a pen and paper."

After a while, Prince Jing, under the influence of alcohol, wrote a line of large characters on the paper.

"Suddenly there is a madman sharpening his knife at night, the imperial star is swaying high in the sky!"

"Your Majesty, you are so domineering!"

"Hahaha, I think I can knock down ten southern barbarian women tonight!"

"My Lord, it's hard!"

"My Lord is so tall and hard!"

"Come on, come on, keep playing music and keep dancing!"

Amidst the laughter and cheers, no one noticed that Sun Yuyi had quietly left the stage.

……

Prince Yu's Mansion.

In stark contrast to the singing and laughter at Prince Jing's Mansion, Prince Yu's Mansion was eerily quiet.

"Your Majesty, this is bad!"

A eunuch ran over and knelt in front of a young man in luxurious clothes.

This young man who exudes nobility is the current Prince Yu, and he is also the youngest among the princes.

At this time, Prince Yu's face did not look very good.

Just yesterday, his father's most trusted subordinate, Mr. Shuhua, sent someone to find him, saying that something happened in the cloth shop.

His Majesty, for some reason, suddenly sent people to search the royal cloth shop run by Lord Shuhua. Wow, they actually found the cloth used to privately make dragon robes.

You should know that the dragon robe is a symbol of the emperor's status and there are strict regulations. Only the royal family appointed by the emperor are qualified to make dragon robes.

Making dragon robes privately is definitely a crime of treason.

However, Prince Yu clearly remembered that when Lord Liu An got into trouble, he hurriedly asked Lord Shuhua to destroy the dragon robe that was privately hidden in the cloth shop.

As it turned out, His Majesty sent people to search the cloth shop and found the remnants of the burnt dragon robe.

This group of guys are more likely to cause trouble than to do anything else!

Secretly keeping the dragon robe is a capital crime, how can he protect it? If he protects it, doesn’t it mean that he is also involved and wants him to die quickly?

The dragon robe was found yesterday and the person passed away today. The family members are in a very stable mood.

As for the cloth shops under Lord Shuhua, they were all sealed and confiscated and fell into the pocket of the empress.

This means that Prince Yu will lose the cloth shop, an important source of money.

Whether it is training death squads or colluding with other countries, these require a lot of financial support.

Now that he has suddenly lost this purse, it is a huge blow to Prince Yu, but this is not even the most infuriating thing.

He had worked hard to train assassins for so many years and sent them to assassinate the prime minister, but all of them failed.

So he set his target on the empress and planned for more than half a year. Finally, he got the chance to plant the assassin in the Imperial Garden. And the empress happened to go to the Imperial Garden that day.

As a result, the ninja sent by Izumo Kingdom failed to assassinate the empress and was caught alive.

Now that he has fallen into the hands of the empress, he dare not take any action in the near future.

Moreover, he didn't even dare to leave Prince Yu's Palace, for fear that the Empress would retaliate against him and send the Plum Blossom Guards to assassinate him.

Prince Yu finally couldn't hold it in any longer and started to curse:

"I'm so angry!"

The eunuch beside him was trembling with fear. He had never seen Prince Yu so angry.

"Then your majesty, what should we do next?"

The eunuch didn't dare to speak loudly and could only ask in a low voice.

"What else can I do? I have to keep a low profile when the odds are against me. I have to grow first and stop wasting time."

Prince Yu deflated like a deflated balloon. The plan he had been planning for so long ended up in complete failure.

Now they have lost an important source of income, making the already poor Prince Yu's Mansion even worse off.

There are fewer and fewer death soldiers now, and training new death soldiers requires a lot of time and cost.

As for the people from Izumo country, they are even more unreliable. They can only talk about private Marseilles all the time. Who can understand the nonsense they say? Can't they say something that people can understand?

When he becomes emperor, the first thing he will do is to eliminate the Izumo Kingdom.

Damn it, a good situation with the wind turned into a disadvantage, these damn teammates are really hard to carry.

Prince Yu was very depressed. All his subordinates were useless and there was not a single reliable one.

Especially when thinking of his opponent, Prince Jing, this guy is probably grinning from ear to ear right now.

The more Prince Yu thought about it, the angrier he became. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he came up with a plan.

"Oh, there's another way!"

Prince Yu's mouth curled up slightly. He had a plan that could turn the situation around.

Chapter 75: Husband and wife are harmonious and hurt each other

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xu Chengling returned to the yard, but did not see his wife.

At this time of year, my wife should be in the yard keeping accounts.

When I went back to the room, I saw that she was not practicing calligraphy at the desk. Where had she gone?

When Xu Chengling came outside, he saw a beautiful green figure. Even though she was wearing a maid's clothes, it still couldn't conceal her noble aura.

This person is none other than my lady’s personal maid, Xia Chan.

"Xia Chan, come here for a moment."

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

Xia Chan walked over, she seemed to have just returned.

"Where's Madame?"

Xu Chengling asked, the other party was his wife's personal maid, so she should know where she was.

"Master, you want to see your wife? She's in the kitchen."

Xia Chan smiled slightly and said that she had just returned from the kitchen as well.

"Wait, don't move yet."

Xu Chengling suddenly said, and he stretched out a hand and touched Xia Chan's face.

"Master, what are you doing?"

Xia Chan frowned slightly, thinking that he had some frivolous thoughts towards her. Although she was now a maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was only His Majesty's personal maid and only obeyed the orders of His Majesty.

Just when Xia Chan was about to take action, Xu Chengling suddenly jumped up and took a fallen leaf from her head.

"This is?"

"There was a leaf on your head. I took it off for you."

Xu Chengling smiled slightly and threw the leaf away.

Xia Chan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She had thought that the master had some unfavorable thoughts towards her. It turned out that the master just wanted to help her remove the leaves on her head. She had misunderstood.

"Master, I will take you to see the lady."

Xia Chan said, and took him to the kitchen.

The two of them walked one in front and one behind. Xu Chengling followed behind Xia Chan and looked her up and down.

She was wearing a green gauze dress and had a proud figure and a pretty face, but she had a cold face all day long, giving people the feeling that she was difficult to get along with.

But in fact, summer cicadas are not difficult to get along with. Instead, they speak their mind and have a cheerful personality.

But if you want to take your relationship with her a step further, it's almost impossible.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Xu Chengling saw the shadow of the Empress's guard, Xue Yuan, on the other person.

"Xia Chan, do you know Xue Yuan?"

Xu Chengling couldn't help but ask.

Xia Chan looked back, thought for a moment, nodded, and said:

"Yes, she is my junior sister."

"So you two are sisters. No wonder your actions and behaviors are so similar."

"She is not only my junior sister, but also my rival."

Xia Chan said lightly, his attitude seemed very cold, even a little hostile.

The owner of Yujingfang trained two masters for the court, Xia and Xue. They were not only playmates since childhood, but also rivals.

So far, she has played against Xue Yuan 245 times, with 120 wins, 120 losses and 5 draws, with no winner or loser.

Only the winner is qualified to inherit Yujingfang from the master.

The two came to the kitchen and walked in. They saw a pretty figure busy in front of the stove, but she seemed a little flustered.

Xu Chengling came over and saw the overly sticky noodles in the pot, and asked:

"Madam, are you cooking noodles?"

"Well, what are you doing here? Go back quickly and I'll bring it to you when it's done."

Yan Jixue gently pushed him away, then looked at Xia Chan with some resentment and said:

"Xia Chan, why did you bring the master here?"

"Madam, I think that if we two were to play the drums in the kitchen until the evening, we might not be able to do it well. Why not ask the master to come and take a look? The master knows."

Xia Chan shrugged and explained to Yan Jixue.

In fact, before Xu Chengling came back, the two of them had already been preparing longevity noodles in the kitchen, but neither of them had ever cooked before, so they started from scratch.

To this end, Yan Jixue asked Xia Chan to get a recipe book from the imperial study and follow the instructions.

As a result, the noodles were either mushy or stuck together. They looked nothing like longevity noodles except that they were not.

There was no other way, Xia Chan could only go for help and invite the master over.

Xu Chengling looked at the two people busy in the kitchen, and then he remembered that today was his birthday.

People usually eat longevity noodles on their birthdays, which symbolizes health and longevity.

Seeing his wife preparing longevity noodles for him, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

"Ma'am, don't you know how to cook?"

Xu Chengling asked curiously, looking at his wife's clumsy way of cooking, as if she was holding a stick, which did not look like she had ever cooked before.

"There are some things you shouldn't ask."

Yan Jixue couldn't help but glare at him fiercely. What's wrong with not being able to cook? Can't you learn if you don't know how to do it?

"Okay, I understand. Since you are not familiar with it, let me teach you."

Xu Chengling said, and then he walked forward and demonstrated to them how to make a bowl of longevity noodles.

Soon, a bowl of longevity noodles was ready, with some vegetable leaves and a poached egg added to it, perfect.
