In the morning of the next day, Emperor Yinde issued an order directly to the court and appointed Gu Wenkang, the eldest son of the cabinet scholar, as prime minister.

With the congratulations of the ministers, the matter finally came to an end. Although Su Li expressed congratulations on the surface, he was very unconvinced in his heart.

It is said that the former dynasty and the harem are not involved, but in fact some people are the best at judging the situation.

For example, since Emperor Yinde decreed the appointment of Gu Wenkang as prime minister, some concubines have obviously gone to Changxin Palace more often.

It was obvious that he was trying to curry favor with Concubine De. Concubine De didn't care about this at all. She was not surprised at all that Gu Wenkang could become the prime minister. In her opinion, there was really no one in the court who could compete with his brother.

It's not just Concubine De who doesn't care, but also Su Qingyao. This is a result she had already guessed.

"Mother, I heard that after the morning court today, Your Majesty asked Eunuch Li to send some rewards to the master." Zi Qiu came in to report.

At this time, Su Qingyao was making clothes for Yun Shu. When she heard this, she nodded, "It seems that His Majesty thinks highly of the Su family."

Zi Qiu smiled slightly, "Who told our master to be loyal?"

These words made Su Qingyao tremble with her hands. It would be great if she really had such a loyal father who could judge the situation. Unfortunately, her father would only hit the muzzle of the gun.

Thinking of this, Su Qingyao sneered, "There are some things that are blessed in your life. If you don't have them in your life, you don't have to force them."

"Your Majesty..." Ziqiu immediately realized that she had just made a mistake and got down apologetically.

Su Qingyao immediately helped her up and gave her a snack on the plate, "You grew up with me since childhood. If you can't even say a word now, what is the friendship of so many years?"

When Su Qingyao said this, Ziqiu felt even more ashamed. Her lady, no matter what position she held, had never changed, at least, she had never changed towards her.

"Thank you so much, my dearest lady." Ziqiu felt blessed again and couldn't help but feel moved in her heart.

Ever since Gu Wenkang became the prime minister, his whole person has become somewhat different.

The previous officials' evaluation of him was that Mr. Gu was His Majesty's childhood companion. He was both civilized and military, and he was a handsome young man.

Now the officials are a little afraid of him.

When the Prime Minister Shangguan was an official, if some officials behaved inappropriately, they would say something in a friendly manner.

But now Prime Minister Gu will directly file a memorial for impeachment. The officials are afraid of this, but Emperor Yinde is very moved. There should be such officials in the court. This is enough to prove that his original decision was right. .

Gu Wenkang said that as an official in the government, he could not be a good person all his life, nor could he not offend others all his life. In this case, it would be better to just take up the post as a new official.

After going to court that day, Emperor Yinde directly sent Gu Wenkang to the Yangxin Hall to discuss matters.

Seeing Gu Wenkang coming, Xiao Nanzi quickly stepped forward and welcomed him to the side hall.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Gu Wenkang, greets you." When Gu Wenkang arrived, he vaguely felt that something was wrong today. Shouldn't he be in the main hall when discussing business?

"Look at this urgent report." Emperor Yinde pointed at the soft table, motioned for Gu Wenkang to sit down, and then glanced at the urgent report on the sandalwood table in front of him.

When he heard about the urgent report, Gu Wenkang didn't hesitate at all, so he opened it and read it.

"Beiyan wants to marry the princess of Wanjin?" Gu Wenkang frowned, "Have you already sent troops?"

Emperor Yinde nodded, "Beiyan is the country that is best at fighting. You and I know this very well. When Beiyan fought with other countries, didn't we go to support it and fight against Beiyan's people? ?”

Gu Wenkang could more or less understand what Emperor Yin De meant by his words.

Although Beiyan is not as powerful as Wanjin, this country is warlike and cannot be careless.

"Now Beiyan requires that the princess be sent for marriage within half a month. Otherwise, we will have to fight with each other." Emperor Yin De sighed, seemingly very entangled.

Gu Wenkang nodded, "If Wan Jin goes to war with Beiyan now, the innocent people will suffer. If we choose a princess to marry, the princesses are still too young, and the eldest princess is only four years old." Gu Wenkang really had some contact with these princesses. The princesses were all very cute. His Majesty actually agreed to marry him without even thinking about it?

Seeing Gu Wenkang frowning, Emperor Yinde put the tea cup in his hand on the table and said with a smile, "What are you thinking about? My daughter is a princess, so my sister is no longer a princess?"

Gu Wenkang also laughed at himself and slapped his forehead directly, "Look at my brain, I forgot that Princess Yijia is not married yet. The princess is of the right age. Isn't this problem solved?"

The Princess Yijia mentioned by Gu Wenkang was Shen Yijia, the youngest sister of Emperor Yinde. Her biological mother's status was extremely humble, as she was a tea maid of the late emperor.

Because of her biological mother's identity, Shen Yijia has been disliked since she was a child and is timid, but she relies heavily on her mother.

Emperor Yinde nodded, "I didn't say it in the morning, just because I didn't want those ministers to make noises about the war. Yijia has also grown up, and it's time to find a good marriage for her."

For a princess whose birth mother has a humble status and is not favored, it is the best destination to be able to take care of her husband and get married.

On that day, Emperor Yinde issued an order to order Princess Yijia to go to Beiyan to get married. Since Queen Chun Zhaoyiren was still mourning, all dowries should be kept simple.

It can be seen from Emperor Yinde's attitude how little Princess Yijia is taken seriously.

I don’t know whether His Majesty did this to deliberately defeat Ying Beiyan or to defeat Princess Yijia.

Not to mention that Princess Yijia married to Beiyan, she had never even left the palace since she was a child. How could she want to marry so far away?

So she ran directly to the Yangxin Hall and begged Emperor Yinde to take back her life. She really just wanted to be with her mother and concubine and didn't want to go anywhere at all.

Emperor Yinde never thought that Princess Yijia would be such a selfish person. He strode out of the palace door and shouted angrily at Princess Yijia, "Presumptuous, you are a princess and you have enjoyed a life of fine clothes and fine food since you were a child. It is your obligation to marry far away, but for your own selfish interests, you have even ignored the people of Wanjin. You really let me down!"

"Beautiful clothes and fine food?" Shen Yijia shook her head, "I am the princess who is least valued by my father and brother. I have never enjoyed a day of fine clothes and fine food, so this is not my obligation. I just want to accompany you. My mother-in-law, I just want to be with my mother-in-law."

Shen Yijia's tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes.

"Presumptuous!" Emperor Yin De raised his hand and slapped him.

Su Qingyao was watching this scene from the side. Although she had never interacted with this princess, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.

Is marriage really the ending for every princess?
