Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

Jing Zhichen smiled and followed quickly.

Chen looked at the interaction between the young couple, feeling relieved but also worried as she whispered to Nanny Gu.

"Your Highness has been in the frontier for many years, how can you still be so childish? If it were an ordinary family, it would be fine, but this royal family..."

Nanny Gu glanced at the couple who were whispering to each other and smiled.

"Madam, don't worry. The Crown Prince is usually very stable and only occasionally shows this side in front of the Crown Princess. You should be happy."

Chen also came to her senses and nodded with a smile.

"People only show their true colors in front of those they love and trust."

"exactly."

The Crown Princess's homecoming banquet was grand and involved a lot of pomp and circumstance. Chen was busy greeting clan members and was busy as soon as she entered the banquet hall.

The people sitting at the same table with Xu Xingyin were all from the Duke's Mansion. Xu Xingyin was too lazy to play along with them and just concentrated on eating his meal.

After a meal and watching a short opera, it was time to return home.

Chen, who had been waiting for several months to see her daughter, was naturally reluctant to let her go. Xu Xingyin had no choice but to smile and coax her a few more words before he and Jing Zhichen got on the carriage back home.

In the carriage, the two looked at each other in silence. Xu Xingyin pursed her lips and started talking about business.

"My mother and I have already made an appointment that I will accompany my eldest sister from the first house to worship at Funing Temple in three days."

"Well, I will be on vacation in three days, so let's go together."

Xu Xingyin kindly reminded: "Your Highness, Funing Temple is a nunnery, it's not a place for a man to go."

"I won't go up. I'll just sit in the teahouse downstairs."

"……All right!"

Xu Xingyin couldn't persuade Jing Zhichen, so he had to compromise. Then he remembered another thing and asked, "I heard them talking about a new beauty in the palace today?"

When mentioning this beautiful lady Yan, Jing Zhichen seemed unhappy.

"Yes, I have been blessed by the Holy Spirit recently."

"When I went to the palace to pay my respects earlier, I didn't seem to have seen this Lady Yan?"

"He had just entered the palace when we went south."

Xu Xingyin became interested. "I heard that this beautiful lady Yan has a charming figure and frivolous behavior?"

Jing Zhichen thought for a long time before reluctantly nodding.

"whispering sound."

Xu Xingyin curled his lips and concluded: "Sure enough, you men all like women like this, and the emperor is no exception."

"What's it got to do with me?"

Jing Zhichen glared at Xu Xingyin, then he remembered the important matter, "By the way, I had a brief discussion with Brother Chaoge today, and there are a few things I think it would be more appropriate for the Crown Princess to bring to the conversation."

"what?"

"Brother Chaoge is very knowledgeable, and it shouldn't be a problem for him to pass the imperial examination next spring. But he has a flaw, and it's fatal."

Xu Xingyin roughly guessed what Jing Zhichen was worried about. "He places too much emphasis on theories with rules and regulations, but ignores the actual situation. It seems like he is just talking on paper."

Jing Zhichen nodded. "Although the court needs talents, the officialdom needs more talented people to govern. When selecting talents for appointment, my father also considered this the most. Of course, this reminder is not just to strive for better results for him. More importantly, if he relies solely on talent and knowledge to get into the officialdom, he will suffer."

"Thank you for the tip, Your Highness."

Xu Xingyin was truly grateful from the bottom of his heart for Jing Zhichen's advice. Just as he was about to speak after thanking him, he heard a roar from the horse and the carriage stopped.

Jing Zhichen asked: "What's going on?"

"Your Highness, the horse... the carriage hit someone."

Xiao Anzi lifted the curtain and answered, then added awkwardly, "She is the wife of Mr. Sha from the Ministry of War."

Isn’t the wife of Lord Sha from the Ministry of War Yang Mingxue?

No wonder, even if the carriage was moving so slowly, it could still hit people.

Xu Xingyin rolled his eyes silently and glanced at Jing Zhichen.

"Since it is Madam Sha, it is better for Your Highness to handle this matter properly."

Jing Zhichen's face was not looking good either. "I will not pursue the crime of reckless driving today. Hurry up and send someone to send Madam Sha back to the mansion."

The phrase "reckless driving" was how Jing Zhichen characterized the incident, and he was clearly protecting Yang Mingxue.

This realization made Xu Xingyin feel subconsciously uncomfortable. He lifted the curtain and was ready to say something sarcastic about Yang Mingxue's "good luck", but he completely lost his mind when he saw the person next to Yang Mingxue.

The person serving Yang Mingxue was the girl named "Erya" whom Jing Zhichen rescued at Jufengpo during the God's Wedding.

As far as Xu Xingyin knew, the girl was sent to the Black Tiger Cavalry for training after returning to Beijing. Now that she had achieved some success, Jing Zhichen gave her to Yang Mingxue.

How precious is a maid who has kung fu skills. Jing Zhichen treats Yang Mingxue really...

I'm willing to do that.

Xiao Anzi finally dealt with the "accident" properly, and the carriage headed back to the East Palace.

At this time, Xu Xingyin no longer had the good mood he had before. He lay idly in the corner of the carriage, refusing to talk to Jing Zhichen.

Before Jing Zhichen realized that he had displeased Xu Xingyin, he couldn't help but ask about Guining's return.

"What the Crown Princess said today at the Duke's Mansion..."

When asking this question, Jing Zhichen actually had some tentative intentions, wanting to know whether Xu Xingyin's closeness today was a sign of his true yearning for her or just a show.

"Your Highness knows that my daughter is getting married for the first time, and my mother is very worried about me."

The implication is that today's acts of intimacy are all performed for others to see.

The moment the words fell, Jing Zhichen's brows darkened.

The emotion in his heart completely disappeared, and all the changes happened in just a moment, so fast that even Xu Xingyin couldn't catch it.

"The Crown Princess acted well. You should act like this when you enter the palace in the future, so that others won't notice anything."

"As it should be."

……

Everyone in the East Palace has been having a hard time recently. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are both in a bad mood and don't like each other, causing everyone under them to live in fear.

But even though they were in a bad mood, they could still tell the priorities when it came to serious matters. As soon as they walked out of the East Palace gate, who wouldn't praise them as "the golden boy and the jade girl"?

On the day they went to Funing Temple to pray for blessings, the two of them left Dongfu together.

Xu Xingyin went up the mountain with everyone from Duke Xu's mansion, while Jing Zhichen and his followers went down the mountain to attract visitors.

Oh no, it's tea.

Before Xu Xingyin left, Jing Zhichen couldn't help but frowned and gave him a warning.

"After you finish your work, please leave the mountain as soon as possible. I have to leave the capital tomorrow."

Xu Xingyin nodded indifferently and said, "I understand. I won't delay your business."

Jing Zhichen: “…”

A shameless woman!

Jing Zhichen was sulking, but the ungrateful woman left him alone, suppressed her emotions, walked forward, cheerfully took Chen's arm, and called her mother sweetly.

Chen was very happy to see that she looked good.

The mother and daughter were chatting casually when they saw Xu Wanfeng, with a dejected look on her face, holding the hand of a maid and slowly walking forward to pay her respects.

"Greetings to the Crown Princess. Long live the Crown Princess."

This humble and pleasing appearance is very different from Xu Wanfeng before marriage.
