<span data-offset-key="fbvou-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="624jk-0-0">After they went out, Liu Da analyzed this matter with Jin Wang again. <span data-offset-key="624jk-1-0">He talked about the Crown Prince’s disfavour and the possibility of the Grandson of the Emperor recing the Crown Prince<span data-offset-key="624jk-2-0">.<span data-offset-key="d2tos-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="c6jm8-0-0">In the past two years, the attitude of Emperor Hong Jing <span data-offset-key="c6jm8-1-0">was indeed<span data-offset-key="c6jm8-2-0"> ambiguous. <span data-offset-key="c6jm8-3-0">The Crown Prince was ipetent, and it didn’t seem to be impossible for the Grandson of the Emperor to rece him<span data-offset-key="c6jm8-4-0">. <span data-offset-key="c6jm8-5-0">The problem was, besides the Crown Prince, several other young princes were in the prime of their life and were not weak in their military prowess<span data-offset-key="c6jm8-6-0">.<span data-offset-key="6vfgg-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="1o30b-0-0">Such as An Wang, Yong Wang, and Jin Wang.<span data-offset-key="drosb-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="8kpn6-0-0">Would these princes be willing to watch a little boy pass over themselves to sit on the throne? <span data-offset-key="8kpn6-1-0">The Crown Prince was the firstborn of the Empress and was also the eldest among the princes, so he was well-deserved to get the throne<span data-offset-key="8kpn6-2-0">.<span data-offset-key="266dk-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="93p5m-0-0">But the Grandson of the Emperor? After all, he was <span data-offset-key="93p5m-1-0">merely<span data-offset-key="93p5m-2-0"> a grandson, not a Crown Prince. Even if he <span data-offset-key="93p5m-3-0">was talented<span data-offset-key="93p5m-4-0">, it would not be enough to convince the public.<span data-offset-key="22f1v-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="aebke-0-0">Maybe<span data-offset-key="aebke-1-0"> the Grandson of the Emperor also knew that his uncles were not willing to watch him ascend the throne, so he took action earlier on<span data-offset-key="aebke-2-0">. He first dealt with Jin Wang and Yong Wang who were the most powerful among the princes. With a few tricks, the two princes fought each other, and he sat on the mountain to watch the two tigers fight. His deep thoughts made people dumbfounded.<span data-offset-key="9e2ai-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="fmh8v-0-0">Then the old question came again. Why did the Grandson of the Emperor do such a shameful thing? Was he sure that he could provoke Jin Wang and Yong Wang <span data-offset-key="fmh8v-1-0">sessfully<span data-offset-key="fmh8v-2-0">?<span data-offset-key="ele9o-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="4due5-0-0">What was he relying on?<span data-offset-key="1he0j-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="685a6-0-0">This was an unavoidable question. Liu Da knew the reason, but he ignored it and discussed something else.<span data-offset-key="5pc0g-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="p66g-0-0">Before leaving, Liu Da said one word to Jin Wang which was that he should have a son. Not only does Jin Wang need to have an heir, but he must also do everything well. Yong Wang and An Wang had more than one son, but Jin Wang had no one. This was his biggest weakness. <span data-offset-key="2t0is-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="33f0s-0-0">After Liu Da left, there wasplete silence. Only then did Jin Wang reveal his face full of icy coldness.<span data-offset-key="eh7hb-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="3vp93-0-0">He tapped the table, and a person appeared in front of him in a blink of an eye.<span data-offset-key="3eurv-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="478c0-0-0">It was a man in tight clothes with an ordinary face.<span data-offset-key="d4alr-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="bk1k8-0-0">“Let my people in the Capital City do something. <span data-offset-key="bk1k8-1-0">I remember that the Crown Prince <span data-offset-key="bk1k8-2-0">is obsessed<span data-offset-key="bk1k8-3-0"> with beauty and has not stepped into the Crown Princess’ room for a long time<span data-offset-key="bk1k8-4-0">. The Crown Princess is at a young and passionate age, so she must be lonely without anyone to <span data-offset-key="bk1k8-5-0">apany<span data-offset-key="bk1k8-6-0"> her. Find her a man to enjoy. Also, The Grandson of the Emperor seems to be ready for a wedding. Is he going to marry the daughter of the Chen Family? Don’t make it so easy to hold a wedding and stir him up. As for the antidote, let others find it from the Grandson of the Emperor.”<span data-offset-key="bt5or-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="2j0hi-0-0">“Yes.”<span data-offset-key="dqug6-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="fqg78-0-0">The man disappeared, and the inner study became quiet again until Fucheng came in.<span data-offset-key="7i1s8-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="9lq94-0-0">“Your Highness, the rewards have <span data-offset-key="9lq94-1-0">been sent<span data-offset-key="9lq94-2-0"> to the small courtyard.”<span data-offset-key="8kf2u-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="e22al-0-0">Actually, he didn’t need to report it to Jin Wang. It was <span data-offset-key="e22al-1-0">merely<span data-offset-key="e22al-2-0"> a reward for a servant, and the master does not need to pay attention to such details. But this was not the same. Given that the person was Yaoniang, Fucheng <span data-offset-key="e22al-3-0">naturally<span data-offset-key="e22al-4-0"> took it <span data-offset-key="e22al-5-0">seriously<span data-offset-key="e22al-6-0">.<span data-offset-key="40t0k-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="dpago-0-0">Jin Wang’s face was as cold as water. After hearing this, his eyes moved.<span data-offset-key="5u8ev-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="att62-0-0">He <span data-offset-key="att62-1-0">suddenly<span data-offset-key="att62-2-0"> wanted to see the little wet nurse and <span data-offset-key="att62-3-0">was intrigued<span data-offset-key="att62-4-0"> to know whether she could understand his words and would not be afraid of him<span data-offset-key="att62-5-0">. Especially now that he was not in a good mood, he wished to go out and get a breath of fresh air.<span data-offset-key="1h0h3-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="6isih-0-0">At the same time, Jin Wang also realized that it would be too obvious to go find Yaoniang now. He could only look down at the secret letters on the table until it was almost noontime. Then, he went to the small courtyard with Fucheng.<span data-offset-key="18r6e-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="2c4p8-0-0">It was lunchtime in the small courtyard. The maids and madams had lunch in batches. The lunch for Yuyan and Yaoniang <span data-offset-key="2c4p8-1-0">was prepared<span data-offset-key="2c4p8-2-0">. The little princess was ying, so Yaoniang asked Yucui to eat first. Anyway, she was not hungry at the moment.<span data-offset-key="f3ns5-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="52jfv-0-0">The little princess was ying on the bed. At her current age, babies were very active. <span data-offset-key="52jfv-1-0">The weather was hot, and there was no ice in the room, so Yaoniang had the little princess wear only a dudou as she yed on the bed<span data-offset-key="52jfv-2-0">. She stayed at the side and watched her ensure that she didn’t fall off the bed.<span data-offset-key="4su33-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="cgj3p-0-0">Looking at the little princess with a smile, Yaoniang’s heart softened and she thought of Xiaobao<span data-offset-key="cgj3p-1-0">. Xiaobao was about the same age as the little princess, so <span data-offset-key="cgj3p-2-0">maybe<span data-offset-key="cgj3p-3-0"> he could turn over now. <span data-offset-key="2p673-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="buvg2-0-0">Yaoniang missed Xiaobao so much and became sad. <span data-offset-key="buvg2-1-0">She wished she could grow a pair of wings to <span data-offset-key="buvg2-2-0">fly<span data-offset-key="buvg2-3-0"> back to Liuyun County immediately to see Xiaobao and Huiniang, her sister<span data-offset-key="buvg2-4-0">.<span data-offset-key="6dgfn-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="flodk-0-0">Yaoniang immersed herself in her thoughts and <span data-offset-key="flodk-1-0">naturally<span data-offset-key="flodk-2-0"> ignored the movement behind her. Only once Jin Wang came to her, did she <span data-offset-key="flodk-3-0">btedly<span data-offset-key="flodk-4-0"> realize that someone hade into the room.<span data-offset-key="58rf9-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="3bagv-0-0">She looked out of the window <span data-offset-key="3bagv-1-0">subconsciously<span data-offset-key="3bagv-2-0"> and found no one in the courtyard. She thought that since it was time to eat at moment, the gatekeeper waszy again. As a matter of fact, people would rarely visit a small courtyard, much less one at a prince’s <span data-offset-key="3bagv-3-0">residence<span data-offset-key="3bagv-4-0">. <span data-offset-key="3bagv-5-0">So the servants were <span data-offset-key="3bagv-6-0">rtively<span data-offset-key="3bagv-7-0"> rxed, and the two girls, Yuyan and Yucui, were also not the kind to deal with harsh treatment<span data-offset-key="3bagv-8-0">. It was inevitable that some would try to shirk responsibility.<span data-offset-key="6r596-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="1rdse-0-0">Yaoniang bent her knees to salute and did not dare to look up.<span data-offset-key="911tr-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="ahbd2-0-0">She thought about the reward from the morning and wasn’t sure about what Jin Wang wanted to do.<span data-offset-key="a5ht-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="530j9-0-0">“Ie here to see the little princess.” Jin Wang coughed <span data-offset-key="530j9-1-0">softly<span data-offset-key="530j9-2-0"> and said.<span data-offset-key="3vpve-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="9ti1p-0-0">Yaoniang nodded <span data-offset-key="9ti1p-1-0">quickly<span data-offset-key="9ti1p-2-0">.<span data-offset-key="9ihto-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="bi0cv-0-0">ording to the rules, she should serve tea when the masteres. But at this moment there was no one in the small courtyard, and Fucheng wasn’t there either. <span data-offset-key="bi0cv-1-0">Yaoniang was skeptical <span data-offset-key="bi0cv-2-0">as to<span data-offset-key="bi0cv-3-0"> whether Jin Wang could look after the little princess, so she could only stand there <span data-offset-key="bi0cv-4-0">nervously<span data-offset-key="bi0cv-5-0"> and gloss over it<span data-offset-key="bi0cv-6-0">.<span data-offset-key="3g9b6-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="2b89d-0-0">It was very quiet. <span data-offset-key="2b89d-1-0">They seemed to be looking at the little princess, who kept turning over on the bed, but their attention <span data-offset-key="2b89d-2-0">was scattered<span data-offset-key="2b89d-3-0">.<span data-offset-key="99nm9-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="6l68d-0-0">Yaoniang thought a lot and whispered, “Thanks for your reward, Your Highness.”<span data-offset-key="cq4b4-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="c34fu-0-0">Jin Wang gave a faint sound of acknowledgment. He paused before he said, “You have served the little princess well. This prince should have rewarded you earlier.”<span data-offset-key="724l5-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="8lgph-0-0">Did he mean to let her off like this?<span data-offset-key="2fu8f-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="26cql-0-0">Did he mean to forget what had happened that day?<span data-offset-key="dclgr-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="86s86-0-0">Yaoniang understood. Once she heard the words of Jin Wang, she <span data-offset-key="86s86-1-0">was relieved<span data-offset-key="86s86-2-0">.<span data-offset-key="56rko-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="co0s6-0-0">She felt a little joy for her sess. <span data-offset-key="co0s6-1-0">Maybe<span data-offset-key="co0s6-2-0"> she could <span data-offset-key="co0s6-3-0">really<span data-offset-key="co0s6-4-0"> stay <span data-offset-key="co0s6-5-0">safely<span data-offset-key="co0s6-6-0"> until the little princess got older, and then go home with the money she earned<span data-offset-key="co0s6-7-0">.<span data-offset-key="9tb2i-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="146um-0-0">At the thought of this, Yaoniang couldn’t help but nce at Jin Wang.<span data-offset-key="fnd7-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="70dms-0-0">Jin Wang was tall and his back was straight. He sped his hands behind him and looked at the little princess. <span data-offset-key="70dms-1-0">Obviously<span data-offset-key="70dms-2-0">, that handsome face was still the same as before, with almost no extra expressions<span data-offset-key="70dms-3-0">. But because the eyes were soft, the sharpness of the entire face <span data-offset-key="70dms-4-0">was reduced<span data-offset-key="70dms-5-0">.<span data-offset-key="huqk-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="826dp-0-0">Yaoniang had never seen Jin Wang like this.<span data-offset-key="dvmfg-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="3kg0e-0-0">She even <span data-offset-key="3kg0e-1-0">faintly<span data-offset-key="3kg0e-2-0"> envied the naive baby girl on the bed.<span data-offset-key="6cp2l-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="fa1bv-0-0">She thought that only the little princess could let Jin Wang shed his coldness, and take good care of her in this world<span data-offset-key="fa1bv-1-0">.<span data-offset-key="1h8v9-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="m33p-0-0">Jin Wang thought that this little wet nurse was a bit silly. He has been here for a long time, but she didn’t mention anything about bringing him snacks or even a cup of tea.<span data-offset-key="3koc6-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="177go-0-0">He wondered who taught her rules.<span data-offset-key="6va0i-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="8cr73-0-0">After that, Yaoniang found Jin Wang frowning.<span data-offset-key="dqv5o-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="eude3-0-0">Even when he frowned, he was handsome nheless.<span data-offset-key="8ubql-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="bqs41-0-0">Yaoniang had seen many people frown before, but some looked very vicious. Others would have wrinkles on their forehead and the shape of their eyes may even change.<span data-offset-key="apntt-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="2qm6a-0-0">He was the only one with long, smooth eyebrows, neither thick nor pale, like an ink wash painting shrouded in smoke and rain<span data-offset-key="2qm6a-1-0">. His brow was not too sharp but appeared gentle. When he frowned, he hadn’t wrinkles but a crease between the eyebrows. It was more appropriate to describe it as knitting his brows.<span data-offset-key="1nju3-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="5gkh0-0-0">Yaoniang <span data-offset-key="5gkh0-1-0">suddenly<span data-offset-key="5gkh0-2-0"> remembered a poem. ‘<span data-offset-key="5gkh0-2-1">How beautiful she looks, opening the beaded drapes, how quiet she sits with troubled brows. Seeing her tears, don’t know who she hates<span data-offset-key="5gkh0-2-2">.’<span data-offset-key="5jroc-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="8sddp-0-0">After thinking about it, she felt that she was too bold. How could shepare Jin Wang to a woman? But looking at him <span data-offset-key="8sddp-1-0">carefully<span data-offset-key="8sddp-2-0">, Jin Wang was <span data-offset-key="8sddp-3-0">really<span data-offset-key="8sddp-4-0"> more beautiful than a woman.<span data-offset-key="necb-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="5s6op-0-0">Yaoniang felt that she finally understood why Jin Wang always kept his face stern. He was too good-looking. <span data-offset-key="5s6op-1-0">If such an appearance <span data-offset-key="5s6op-2-0">was seen by<span data-offset-key="5s6op-3-0"> others, how could he intimidate those in the Mansion and lead the border soldiers to fight the barbarians<span data-offset-key="5s6op-4-0">?<span data-offset-key="chrel-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="arqa8-0-0">Yaoniang’s mind wandered off. Jin Wang had watched her for a while and had noticed that the little wet nurse was peeking at him.<span data-offset-key="8340t-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="98jkl-0-0">Jin Wang was not unused to this kind of eyes. Actually, he had <span data-offset-key="98jkl-1-0">been seen by<span data-offset-key="98jkl-2-0"> many people like this. But there was never a person who gave him such a look.<span data-offset-key="6cl38-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="6nhsl-0-0">There were not any thoughts, ulterior motives, orplicated things in her eyes, but they were very pure<span data-offset-key="6nhsl-1-0">. She seemed to look at him, not Jin Wang.<span data-offset-key="bm07j-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="7jkad-0-0">Such a look made Jin Wang <span data-offset-key="7jkad-1-0">momentarily<span data-offset-key="7jkad-2-0"> dazed, but he <span data-offset-key="7jkad-3-0">was interrupted<span data-offset-key="7jkad-4-0"> before he could think any deeper.<span data-offset-key="19blf-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="eb213-0-0">Fucheng didn’te in with Jin Wang <span data-offset-key="eb213-1-0">just<span data-offset-key="eb213-2-0"> now. He was self-aware and he also had to call the maids.<span data-offset-key="f5l7i-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="4rc2k-0-0">Yuyan and Yucui came in and knelt on the ground.<span data-offset-key="hrfv-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="ehdn3-0-0">The two of them came from the pce and knew that the rules from the pce were the most strict. They served in Zhaohui Hall before, and the rules were <span data-offset-key="ehdn3-1-0">simr to<span data-offset-key="ehdn3-2-0"> those from the pce. But after they <span data-offset-key="ehdn3-3-0">were transferred<span data-offset-key="ehdn3-4-0"> to the small courtyard, they became idle. Moreover, there was no one on duty at the door, so they didn’t know that Jin Wang was here.<span data-offset-key="8eiak-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="1leta-0-0">ording to Jin Wang’s rules, both Yuyan and Yucui would <span data-offset-key="1leta-1-0">be whipped<span data-offset-key="1leta-2-0"> more than ten times. But this time he only said <span data-offset-key="1leta-3-0">lightly<span data-offset-key="1leta-4-0"> to not let it happen again, and then allowed them to stand up.<span data-offset-key="17an1-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="5g7tm-0-0">Yuyan and Yucui were still scared. Looking at their pale faces, Yaoniang didn’t understand why they looked so scared.<span data-offset-key="5ab7g-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="b87l1-0-0">In fact, Yaoniang was also afraid of Jin Wang, but she knew that Jin Wang was not a person who would lose his temper and transfer his anger onto others at random<span data-offset-key="b87l1-1-0">.<span data-offset-key="f61b8-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="jd8m-0-0">Jin Wang hadn’t had lunch, so Yuyan went to arrange it.<span data-offset-key="dn5pc-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="1ofer-0-0">The servants prepared <span data-offset-key="1ofer-1-0">quickly<span data-offset-key="1ofer-2-0"> in the kitchen. The preparations only needed a few minutes before lunch <span data-offset-key="1ofer-3-0">was served<span data-offset-key="1ofer-4-0">.<span data-offset-key="efavm-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="dl96q-0-0">They ced the dishes on the table in the East Room, and then Jin Wang moved forward.<span data-offset-key="99pc7-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="tu5e-0-0">Yaoniang was very hungry now. As a wet nurse, it was easy to get hungry and her stomach was crying out for food.<span data-offset-key="47cj7-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="dm60l-0-0">She thought that since Yuyan and Yucui were all here now, they could look after the little princess, so she could go eat lunch<span data-offset-key="dm60l-1-0">. She <span data-offset-key="dm60l-2-0">quietly<span data-offset-key="dm60l-3-0"> told Yucui her ns and was about to leave.<span data-offset-key="d7kvq-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="5s04g-0-0">She thought that her behaviour was not noticeable, but everything was in the sight of someone.<span data-offset-key="drn5g-0-0">?<span data-offset-key="6nbb5-0-0">“Since Nanny Su is free now, then you serve the meal for Jin Wang,” Fucheng said.
