Originally, the second princess wanted Emperor Sheng Yuan to marry her and Wan Qiyuan. But Emperor Shengyuan had his own considerations. First of all, she was his own daughter. Although she was not doted on or liked very much, she was still a dignified princess, and her mother-in-law's family was quite powerful.

Secondly, Wan Qiyuan was a big worry on his mind, and he would have to be destroyed sooner or later to prevent the second princess from causing any trouble in the future, so he had reservations about whether to grant it or not.

But Emperor Shengyuan knew that every time the second princess went to pester Wan Qiyuan, he would turn a blind eye and cause trouble for Wan Qiyuan, and he would be happy to see the results.

The imperial capital of the Holy Yuan Kingdom was extremely large, divided into an outer city and an inner city.

The poor people in the outer city were mixed. People from all religions and people from all over the country came to the imperial capital for tourism and business. Most of them gathered in the outer city.

The inner city is divided into four areas: southeast, northwest, and there are many shops on the four main roads. There is a large square area surrounding the central area from the center.

The majestic palace is there, with high walls blocking out all prying eyes and surrounded by four areas.

Dongcheng District is where major royal palaces and nobles gather.

Nancheng District is the residence of imperial officials.

Xicheng District is a wealthy area, where wealthy people gather.

Beicheng District is the Yiguan District. There are also tourists and caravans from other countries here, and most of them gather in the restaurants and inns here.

At this time, in the "Youya Garden" of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a luxurious building in the southern district of the imperial capital. Liu Xiuya, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, asked the maid Chuntao with excitement, "Chuntao, I heard that he is back, is it true?"

"Miss, it's true. My servants have inquired about it clearly. People all over the imperial capital are talking about it now. It must be true," Chuntao answered the lady's question again.

She is the personal maid of the prime minister's daughter, so of course she knows what her daughter is thinking.

"Miss, the second princess must have also received the news. What should we do?"

"Hmph! That idiot, let her rush ahead and explore the way for me, and we will make further decisions later."

"Miss, please keep your voice down, be careful that the walls have ears."

Then Miss Liu sat upright and picked up the embroidered handkerchief on the table. Most of the mandarin ducks on the embroidered handkerchief were embroidered. She was thinking about her sweetheart using it to wipe her sweat. Her beautiful face was flushed and she was wearing a white gauze skirt. She is more dignified and elegant.

Seeing this, Chuntao raised the corner of her mouth slightly. She didn't know what her young lady was thinking about.

There are four young ladies in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and one young master, who is the son of the eldest young master and the eldest lady's direct wife.

The second lady, Liu Xiuling, is the daughter of Zhang Cuiping's concubine Zhang. She is similar in age to the eldest lady. After the Chinese New Year, she will be sixteen and hairpin, and she will be old enough to get married.

Aunt Zhang is the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Xicheng District. Her natal family has a rich family background. It is backed by the Prime Minister's Palace and usually provides considerable subsidies to Aunt Zhang and her daughter.

Aunt Zhang is also smart. Most of it is handed over to Prime Minister Liu's officialdom, and the remaining 30% is reserved for herself and her daughter.

Therefore, Liu Cheng loved Aunt Zhang very much and took good care of the Zhang family. The treatment and status of the second young lady and the eldest young lady in the mansion were similar.

His wife's natal family was a second-rank official. She had been a great supporter of the young Prime Minister Liu and supported him all the way to his current position as a first-rank official, so he also respected and loved his wife.

The third lady, Liu Xiuyu, and the fourth lady, Liu Xiutian, were thirteen and twelve years old respectively. They were given to Prime Minister Liu by officials as concubines Wu Lian.

This Wu Lian came out of a horse-drawn horse training hall specially trained for those high-ranking families. He won the heart of Prime Minister Liu.

In addition to pampering her a lot, she also secretly subsidizes her, so the third and fourth young ladies live a very comfortable life in the house.

On the other hand, this eldest lady, in addition to monthly money, has to rely on the eldest wife's dowry money to support other expenses. Besides, the eldest young master Liu Zuolin had already passed the scholar examination. At this time, his classmates from the same college went on a study tour, so his daily expenses were worthy of his status as the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Palace.

Therefore, although the wife is not in a tight situation in the house, she still spends her money every day. After all, the monthly expenses of the master and slave of this large family are not a small amount.

Prime Minister Liu also came from a poor background, and his family was not very rich. His current wealth was accumulated after becoming an official, so Aunt Zhang was very popular with Prime Minister Liu.

These wives, concubines, and children are usually polite and harmonious on the surface. In fact, no one knows who is inside, and it is not a simple role to allow children to be born and grow up.

I didn’t see how miserable those concubines who had no children lived.

At the same time, in another residence in the imperial capital, in the study of Zhang Chenggang, Minister of War, two people were talking.

Staff member Yu Hui said, "Sir, what do you think His Highness the War King will do when he comes back this time? After all, he survived the disaster this time, so one can imagine the anger in his heart."

"The King of War really can't see through it. He may make some moves now. He will attack the King of War again. This time he didn't hold the King of War to death. I don't know how frustrated I am." Zhang Chenggang said seriously.

"If the Holy One takes action against His Highness the King of War again, will Wanqijun take action?"

"The Wanqi Army has become useless. Alas! What a pity for those soldiers who defended the country! From the standpoint of national interests, this shouldn't be the case!" Zhang Chenggang was heartbroken and disappointed with Emperor Shengyuan.

He was once full of passion and wanted to do something practical for the country and the people. But in the whirlpool of power, for the safety of his family, he could only go with the flow and try his best to have a clear conscience.

"Who says it's not the case? My lord, tell me whether the Holy Father will use the gift of marriage to constrain His Royal Highness."

"Giving marriage? This is not a good strategy. It depends on the weight of the person to whom the marriage is given. If it is too low, it will not be effective. If it is too high, you will be afraid of joining forces. In addition to Xiang'er, there are a few people with relatively high status in the imperial capital. The lady is of right age to be married."

"There are two young ladies in the residence of Prime Minister Liu who are about to get hairpins. There is a young lady in the household of Minister Zhu, who is also sixteen years old. There are also two young ladies in the residence of Duke Zhou, the eldest lady of Baiyang Houfu, and the two princesses. Among them, the eldest lady Bai She has the best appearance, and it is said in the imperial capital that she is the most beautiful woman." Yu Hui listed them all to Zhang Chenggang.

"It can't be the second princess. The marriage to the royal palace is like a chess piece. If it is a chess piece, it may be discarded at any time. The Holy One also needs to weigh the stakes.

The interest relationships involved by various governments are complex, and the most likely possibility is to marry a woman who only has a good family background, but is not taken seriously and is insignificant. "

"That's right. What if, I mean, His Highness the War King rebels?"

"No, according to the ancestral motto of the Wanqi family, I would rather die standing than betray the Holy Yuan country that the Wanqi family has protected for generations. Only those who are confused can't see clearly! At most, it is possible to establish a new king, and Just watch, we will remain unchanged in the face of all changes."

It seems that Zhang Shangshu is a sensible person and has seen the situation very clearly, but I don't know how many people in the civil and military circles of this dynasty can be like him.

And Wan Qiyuan, who is remembered by all parties, is our King of War. At this moment, the carriage has slowly entered the inner city gate.

In the spacious carriage, Wan Qiyuan, Fu Ling'er, Lu Qianming and Sheng Nuoxuan were seated. Leng Feng was driving the carriage, and several subordinates were accompanying them on horseback.

The carriage drove towards Prince War's Mansion in Dongcheng District. Pedestrians on the street gave way and stood on both sides, whispering whether His Royal Highness Prince War was in the carriage.

It was Fu Ling'er's first time riding in a carriage, and she was already very tired. No matter how luxurious this carriage is and how soft the seat cushions are, it is still a carriage. After three days of sitting on it, you will fall apart.

Ask her why she doesn’t enter the space?

Ouch! Isn’t this about keeping a low profile? If you are new here, you have to figure out the rules of survival here. Although she is not afraid of anyone, she is afraid of trouble, so it is better to keep a low profile.

So it was a tragedy for Fu Ling'er. She missed airplanes and sports cars so much that she had to sit with them for three days before arriving in the imperial capital.

Fu Ling'er was very agitated along the way. Seeing her discomfort, Wan Qiyuan repeatedly told Leng Lie to drive slower.

Fu Ling'er, on the other hand, looked at the grinding speed and wanted to hit someone, so he sternly said, "Hurry up and drive," and Wan Qiyuan stopped saying anything.

Leng Feng flicked his riding whip, and the carriage sped away, raising dust all the way, and finally arrived at the imperial capital three days later.

Fortunately, there was no assassination along the way, otherwise Fu Ling'er would have gone berserk.

It's just a big thank you to the secret guards hiding in the dark.
