However, Xiao Beichen looked at her with a colder gaze, and said in a calm voice:

"Don't worry about the prince's marriage. The Tianji Pavilion will help him find the most suitable one."

His son is no longer the same person he used to be, and there is no need for him to cling to power through marriage.

Now that his son has him as his father to protect him, it means power!

Although the art of being a king requires a balance of power, guarding against this and calculating that...

But he rarely talked about these things with his sons, just let them grow up in harmony with each other and without any burden.

As long as the brothers can work together, it will be the greatest help. There is no need for the power of the ministers to make them make a choice between the two.

Hearing him say this, the Queen's face changed and she opened her mouth to say something, but Xiao Beichen had already turned his head away and didn't look at her.

"If it were in the past, it would not be a big deal if you wanted to hold a banquet, but I just let the Crown Prince govern the country today, and you are in a hurry to hold the banquet. Even if you are not sincere, it will be easy for those noble families to misunderstand you."

"Don't be indifferent when the time comes. Those people outside have already fought for a few positions in the Prince's Mansion. It will only make things look bad for both your reputation and your bottom line."

"The Tianji Pavilion has already calculated that these children will not have a marriage destiny until they are 20 years old. If they are forced to marry in advance, I'm afraid it will not be the right destiny, but will harm the children instead."

Seeing that he had said so, the queen did not dare to argue any more, and could only lower her eyes and bow: "I understand."

Xiao Beichen was the first to walk out of the central palace.

Xiao Che and Xiao Fei each carried Xiao Jian and Xiao Hong one by one, and only then did Yun Tang's arms become free.

Yuntang bowed to the queen and hurried out, following his third senior brother.

She also just discovered that the two younger sons of her third senior brother were even more clingy than the fat boy back then.

It’s not that they didn’t stick to me back then, but that they were too young and didn’t have the ability to move freely.

Xiao Ye also followed, and only when they reached the fork in the road did he reluctantly bid farewell to his father and junior master uncle.

Xiao Fei still wanted to follow him to Qingfeng Palace, but Xiao Ye held him back and wouldn't let go.

"Second brother, it's already dark, why don't you go back to your own palace!"

"Second brother, Junior Master is coming to visit us tomorrow, why don't you go back early and prepare?"

"Second brother, my younger brother is also going out of the palace, let's go together!"

Seeing Xiao Ye's evil smile, which showed that he didn't want his brother to have an easy life either, Xiao Fei was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped him in the face.

"Go back and have a rest. Continue reading the memorials tomorrow. You have a long way to go, so don't slack off." Xiao Beichen stopped with his hands behind his back, turned around to look at his two noisy sons, and reminded Xiao Ye not to forget his homework when he returned.

The two brothers stopped making a fuss, agreed, and quickly walked towards the palace from the other direction.

If it weren't for the banquet tomorrow and the preparations to be made, they could have stayed in the palace tonight.

Thanks to my father who is not greedy for women, there are only these people in the palace now, and many palaces and halls are still vacant.

Although they had set up their own residence outside the palace, they still had their own residence inside the palace where they had lived since childhood.

Just like the princesses' residences, there are also several large and small palaces near the East Palace which are their residences.

It seemed that the emperor's father intended to create such a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere for the family, and to place all the brothers and sisters in an area where it would be convenient for them to visit each other.

It’s just that as they got older, they moved out of the palace and set up their own homes, giving them an extra place to live.

In Qingfeng Palace, Yuntang went to the weapon room as soon as he came back and said he wanted to make a sword for the little fat boy.

Xiao Beichen was originally going to check the homework of the fourth and fifth children, but when he heard this, he no longer cared and rolled up his sleeves to help.

Even he, who was not good at refining equipment, dared to go, not to mention Xiao Che who had learned refining equipment since childhood.

As usual, Yuntang reached into his sleeve and pulled out a long sword embryo, which was dark but faintly warm.

Xiao Che's eyes suddenly lit up.

Generally, cold iron or thousand-year-old black iron is chosen for sword making.

But there are also rarer materials with fire attributes, which can be used to forge a good sword with fire attributes, which is more powerful.

"This is a meteorite that has been buried in the glacier for ten thousand years, and it still has its fire and earth attributes sealed and well preserved."

Seeing Xiao Che's reaction, Yun Tang explained with a smile.

Since her nephew was learning how to refine equipment, she naturally had to teach him some of her own experiences.

"After this piece of meteorite was dug out, it had the four attributes of gold, fire, water, and earth. Someone hid it in a peach tree for a thousand years."

"Now, use it to forge a sword with the attributes of the five elements. If used well, it can be a magical weapon that activates the mutual generation and mutual restraint of the five elements."

After Yuntang finished speaking, he began to count other items and confirm the steps of refining the equipment.

Xiao Che immediately took charge of lighting the fire, and Xiao Beichen, the old father, was only given the task of picking up things and occasionally swinging a hammer.

The two brothers Xiao Jian and Xiao Hong took advantage of the opportunity to sneak into the equipment room, looking here and there with curiosity.

But they still remembered their father's instructions that these things should not be touched randomly for fear of accidents.

Throughout the busy night, the fire never went out, and even the flame never dimmed.

The firewood for the stove was all brought out by Yuntang... peach wood!

Yun Tang was full of energy as if she had returned to the previous life when she focused on refining equipment. It was as if she was no longer the thirteen-year-old Taoist priest, but the master of refining equipment in that life, famous throughout the world.

What she didn't say was that the two daggers given to Xiao Jian and Xiao Hong were the scraps separated when the sword embryo was forged from the same piece of meteorite iron.

But the effect is the same, just a little less powerful.

By daybreak, when the sword had taken shape, Yuntang was still making hand gestures and chanting spells with his fingers.

He cast the spell that circulated the power of the five elements into the heart of the sword, and engraved the defensive formation on the sword body with the rhythm of Taoism.

The color of the sword changed again and again but it seemed to be always shrouded in a golden glow.

Moreover, the sword body was shaped by a hammer in the early stage and by spiritual energy in the later stage, and it has already changed several appearances.

This is a five-element sword, so it will naturally have the characteristics of the five elements. But in the end, it is frozen in a new form that makes it impossible to tell its essence.

A small sword that is 30% shorter than an ordinary three-foot-long sword but three points longer than a dagger.

Xiao Che was still concentrating on learning beside him, not showing any disrespect at all because his junior master was younger than him.

Xiao Jian and Xiao Hong had been thrown into the side room by their father to sleep in the middle of the night, and they were still asleep at this time.

Xiao Beichen was helping to draw the talismans. This night of hard work also gave him a new understanding and insight into the art of refining weapons that he had not been able to learn well when he was young.

Seeing that the sword was almost cast, he was filled with emotion.

Back then, his master forged the Mountain and River Sword for him, saying that he was not cut out for refining weapons, and if his master didn't personally make it for him, he would have no sword to use.

At that time, I'm afraid the master didn't expect that Xiao Tang'er would become a master of weapon refining?

Eunuch Wang came outside to urge people to go to court. Xiao Beichen immediately glanced at the child who was still studying hard.

"Prince, it's time to go to court!"

"Oh."

"what?"

Xiao Che suddenly realized that he, the crown prince, had been the regent since yesterday, and attending court was one of the regent's duties.

Xiao Che immediately looked at his good father with a bitter and aggrieved face.
