Xuanyuan Jin's expression moved slightly and he put a handful of ashes on the table into the incense burner nearby.

After clearing the table, Xuanyuan Jin said: "Come in."

Wang Shun came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Mr. Sun is visiting today and is outside the door now."

When Xuanyuan Jin heard this, he couldn't help but put down the tea cup in the book.

"But the Minister of War?"

"Exactly."

Hearing Wang Shun's response, Xuanyuan Jin couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

He didn't get along much with the Minister of War on weekdays. If Mr. Sun came here at this time, he might have done something to Sun Ningsi.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Jin couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

It seemed that his efforts these days were not in vain. After all, Sun Ningsi's heart was moved.

Thinking of Sun Ningsi who looked shy in front of him before, Xuanyuan Jin couldn't help but chuckle.

"Let Mr. Sun come in."

When Wang Shun saw his master's expression, he knew that Master Sun could not afford to neglect him, so he followed the concierge to greet Sun Mingda in person.

When Sun Mingda saw Wang Shun, he was a little stunned for a moment.

After all, the Eighth Prince was not accompanied by Wang Shun, but by Manager Li.

Seeing this, Wang Shun quickly explained: "Master Sun, the younger one is serving the prince."

"When I heard that Mr. Sun was visiting, the prince asked me to pick you up."

When Sun Mingda heard this, he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows, but looking at Wang Shun's respectful expression, he felt very satisfied.

"I didn't expect that the Eighth Prince would still remember me. Please lead the way, little steward."

Wang Shun couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

After entering the Eighth Prince's Mansion, Sun Mingda frowned slightly.

I don't know if it's because the Eighth Prince's Mansion now lacks a hostess, but the Prince's Mansion, which is a good prince, has a somewhat depressed look.

But fortunately, the rules of the servants in this mansion seemed to be good, and even the paths that no one passed by were kept very clean.

This also shows that these people who work in the government are not coping with their errands.

Seeing this scene, Sun Mingda was quite satisfied.

"Your Majesty, Lord Sun is here."

Wang Shun went into the study to report, and Xuanyuan Jin went out in person to greet Sun Mingda.

Although he guessed what Sun Mingda was visiting the house for today, Xuanyuan Jin pretended not to know where he was and just invited Sun Mingda into the study warmly and politely.

Sun Mingda's expression changed slightly when he saw the wet ink stains on the desk in the study room.

"The Eighth Prince is still busy?"

Xuanyuan Jin smiled bitterly, "Father is quite dissatisfied with me now, and I have nothing to do now."

"It's just that the emperor's grandmother fell ill a few days ago. I can't go to the palace to watch over the emperor's grandmother, so I want to write more filial piety scriptures and pray for my grandmother's safety."

When Sun Mingda heard this, he felt even more satisfied.

"It's rare for the Eighth Prince to have such filial piety."

Xuanyuan Jin shook his head with a wry smile, his expression seemed a little sad.

Seeing Xuanyuan Jin like this, Sun Mingda stopped talking.

They were all aware of the emperor's reprimand to the Eighth Prince some time ago, but they didn't know what happened at that time to make the emperor so angry.

However, the Eighth Prince's ability to show his temperament after being reprimanded by the emperor proved that he was a person with a bottom line.

Although as a prince, he cannot be too soft-hearted.

But if he wanted to choose a husband for his daughter, he would have to think more.

Although a hard-hearted person is more likely to succeed, a hard-hearted person treats everyone equally and does not want his daughter to be wronged.

It's good to be like Xuanyuan Jin. He has the skills to compete with the prince, but he also has an iron-blooded heart.

"I just came to the mansion and saw that there seems to be no other master except the prince?"

The Eighth Prince was stunned and realized what Sun Mingda meant, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Since the princess left, I am the only one left in this palace."

"That Aunt Rong..."

When people heard Sun Mingda mention Rong Jiao, Xuanyuan Jin's expression turned cold for a moment.

"She did something wrong and her father grounded her. She should stay in the backyard and reflect."

Seeing Xuanyuan Jin's attitude, Sun Mingda was very satisfied.

It seems that what is said outside that the Eighth Prince has a deep love for Rong Jiao is not true.

"When the Eighth Prince is upright, young and strong, he can't do it without someone around him to help him."

When Xuanyuan Jin heard this, his expression seemed a little sad.

"Who would want to marry me now that I'm like this?"

Sun Mingda had also heard about the eighth prince and the former eighth princess. Now seeing him like this, he didn't know how to comfort him.

There were times when he was deeply in love with his wife, but...

Thinking of Mrs. Sun, Sun Mingda also looked a little helpless.

Mrs. Sun used to be so well-educated and sensible, but ever since Aunt Wen entered the house, for some reason Mrs. Sun has always made things difficult for Aunt Wen.

Although Madam kept saying that she had never touched Aunt Wen, in the mansion at that time, no one except Madam could make Aunt Wen in trouble.

Thinking of the past, Sun Mingda also looked a little nostalgic.

Xuanyuan Jin looked a little confused when he saw Sun Mingda's expression.

But he also knew that Sun Mingda could come to him today, which meant that he had put some thought into it.

Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Jin couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

It seems that Sun Ningsi, the concubine, is quite important in Sun Mingda's heart.

I just don’t know which of the direct daughters of the Sun family...

Xuanyuan Jin sighed, the Sun family's legitimate daughter had already married, and indeed had no useable value.

Thinking of Sun Ningsi, Xuanyuan Jin couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

I just don't know how long this person can stay in the house and whether he can compete with Rong Jiao.

He had never thought about finding a rival for Rong Jiao, but unfortunately, Rong Jiao was too big-hearted and always cared about things that did not belong to her.

Thinking of the former eighth princess and his child who died before he was born, Xuanyuan Jin couldn't help but tighten his fingers.

Seeing that Sun Mingda was absent-minded, Xuanyuan Jin couldn't help but sigh.

"If it is really like what Mr. Sun said, there is such a person who can see me in my eyes, I will definitely treat him as a treasure."

Sun Mingda was still immersed in his memories, but when he heard Xuanyuan Jin's words, he came back to his senses.

He didn't know if Xuanyuan Jin understood his hint, but he was indeed very satisfied that Xuanyuan Jin could say such things.

"With the words of the Eighth Prince, I can rest assured. I have a daughter at home, and she has reached the age of hairpins now."

Xuanyuan Jin seemed stunned and did not respond immediately.

Sun Mingda didn't expect Xuanyuan Jin to respond to him immediately. He just looked at the sky outside and then stood up.

"I wanted to have a great chat with the Eighth Prince today. It's getting late now, so I should go back home."

Sun Mingda is now the Minister of the Ministry of War. When the court is now unstable, he should avoid suspicion.
