But Shen Changyun was also a reborn person, how could he not guess what Jiang Lin was thinking?

He smiled contemptuously. In his previous life, Qianqian and her two brothers had done their best to plan for Jiang Lin, but ended up with such an ending; in this life, Li Shuyue helped Jiang Lin by buying him a house and giving him money, but in return he did something ridiculous like taking a concubine before marriage.

From this we can see that Jiang Lin, who is kind to him, thinks it is his due, and when he is in high spirits, he will turn around and harm the person who has done good to him.

"You feel very unwilling, don't you?" Shen Changyun grinned, "But it's your own fault."

This was the truth. Although he had settled the real Ninth Prince in his previous life, he also concealed the relevant evidence, allowing Jiang Lin to become the new emperor safely.

On his deathbed, the emperor used the incident of Jiang Lin riding a horse to order him to become a monk. The only threat to Jiang Lin, the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, also lost its power. As long as Jiang Lin trusted the two brothers of the Li family enough, how could he not sit firmly on the throne?

Since he couldn't judge the situation well, he couldn't blame himself.

Seeing that Jiang Lin seemed to be at a disadvantage, Li Shuyue came up with another plan, "Sister just accused me and Jiang Lang of being so righteous, but can you get away with it? You and Master Shen have not even gotten married yet, but you have been together all night. I don't know what kind of filthy place you and he have been hanging out! Humph, you are waiting to get married, but you are sleeping on the same bed with Master Shen, and you are so filthy!"

Li Zhengkang glanced at Li Qingqian and found that the other party did not show any anger, but Li Qingqian had discussed leaving the house with him and the old lady last night.

Since it was the Crown Princess who invited him and he was going with Prince Shen, he didn't say anything.

Li Qingqian curled her lips slightly, raised Li Shuyue's chin with one finger, and said something that shocked her: "You mean, the East Palace is a dirty and filthy place, and the Crown Princess' invitation to me is also an act of promiscuity?"

East, East Palace?

Isn't the Crown Princess always aloof and arrogant? Why would she invite Li Qingqian to the Eastern Palace for no reason?

"My East Palace has become a dirty and filthy place. How can this be explained?"

While Li Shuyue was shocked, a chuckle was heard outside the Qingzhu Hall, and then a dark golden figure appeared inside the Qingzhu Hall.

Black and gold are noble colors, and only the emperor and the prince can wear these colors.

But Emperor Hexi was old and could not leave the palace to visit his ministers' homes at will, so the only person in front of him could be the crown prince, Jiang Huaijing.

As soon as he stepped into the yard, he saw a tall figure and asked in surprise: "Changyun, you are here too? Hey, what is this?"

Jiang Huaijing pointed at Jiang Lin, who was bleeding from the nose, foaming at the mouth, and already somewhat unconscious.

Shen Changyun glanced at him casually and said, "Oh, it's okay, just a piece of trash who talks nonsense."

Jiang Huaijing didn't seem to be really interested in Jiang Lin, who was lying on the ground in a mess. He put his arm around Shen Changyun's shoulder and walked into the house.

"Then go in first. I am here to read the imperial edict on behalf of my father."

When he heard that he came with an imperial edict, Li Zhengkang quickly showed respect.

Jiang Huaijing, who had just stepped into the door, waved at him, "Prime Minister Li, don't be in a hurry."

Just when Li Zhengkang and Liu were confused, Jiang Huaijing looked around and finally set his sights on Li Shuyue. He raised his lips and said, "Is this the fourth young lady of the Li family? I have only heard that my future cousin's wife is extremely beautiful, but this is the first time I have seen that the fourth young lady of the Li family has an extraordinary appearance."

Liu was shocked at first, then overjoyed.

What did the prince mean by this? Could it be that he was attracted to Shu Yue?

This is great news. She was just worried that she couldn't get rid of Jiang Lin, that dog-skin plaster. Now if the prince takes a fancy to Shu Yue and wants to welcome her into the East Palace to be a concubine or something, that would be perfect.

First of all, all the money that the Liu family owed was settled;

Secondly, Liu glanced at Jiang Lin who was unable to get up outside and snorted with disdain. Not to mention that he is not a prince yet, even if he really becomes a prince in the future, it is still a question whether he can overthrow the prince and inherit the throne.

Liu was quickly planning for her daughter in her mind. No matter how she looked at it, this prince was the best choice.

So she smiled and said, "Your Highness, thank you for your compliment. I am just a plain girl, how could I deserve such praise from you?"

Then he urged Li Shuyue to come forward, "Shuyue, why are you still standing there? Come and meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Shuyue watched the expression on her mother's face and guessed what she was thinking.

But even if this prince is very popular now, it will be Jiang Lin who will ascend the throne and become emperor in the future. Why should I follow the prince?

Besides, isn't there a Song Mianshuang waiting to marry into the Eastern Palace? Why would I marry into the Eastern Palace and let Song Mianshuang cause trouble for me all day long?

She also felt it was strange. The prince had clearly seen her at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, so why did he say now that he was seeing her for the first time?

I always feel like something is wrong.

Liu didn't care about that. She was disgusted with Jiang Lin now. When she heard the prince say these words by chance, she was naturally happy.

Li Shuyue had no choice. With the prince right in front of her, was she really supposed to not bow to him?

So she stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Your servant Li Shuyue greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Jiang Huaijing looked her up and down with an unfathomable smile in his eyes. Anyone who knew him well would know that he was a little angry at the moment. But this man was a smiling tiger. The thicker his smile, the more ruthless he would be.

"Mrs. Li just said that your daughter is shallow?" Jiang Huaijing smiled and shook his head, "She is wrong. In my opinion, she has a very thick face."

"Huh?" Liu was stunned by these words. What did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by this?

The next moment, Jiang Huaijing suddenly put away his smile and shouted to the outside: "Come here, drag this fourth girl from the Li family away and slap her thirty times."

Immediately, several Yulin Guards brought by Jiang Huaijing from the Eastern Palace walked in from outside the Qingzhu Hall. Two of them grabbed Li Shuyue's arms and dragged her to the yard, while the other swung his arm and hit Li Shuyue in the face.

Liu was angry, anxious and distressed. It would be fine if the prince looked down on Shu Yue, but why did he humiliate her like this?

I couldn't help but said anxiously: "Prince, Shu Yue is the daughter of my Li family!"

Jiang Huaijing smiled contemptuously: "It's because I took into consideration that she is the daughter of your Zuo Xiangfu, so I saved my face and only beat her. Otherwise, just because she said that my Eastern Palace is a dirty place, I would have beaten you, Li Xiang and Madam Li."

After saying that, he looked into the house and said meaningfully, "When I came in just now, I saw that the courtyard of the Li Mansion is really much bigger than before. This courtyard is getting bigger and bigger, and it even ignores my Donggong. So what will happen next?"

Jiang Huaijing turned his gaze towards Li Zhengkang, "Are you going to curse everyone in the palace?"

What he said was too serious!

Li Zhengkang pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly, and said with a cupped hand: "Your Highness, you are worrying too much. My daughter's words and deeds are outrageous, and I wanted to punish her severely. Now that Your Highness has to bear this burden, I am terrified."

"Whether you are afraid or not is another matter. But Prime Minister Li, as the left prime minister of the dynasty, you must serve my father and Dawei. But now you have raised such a daughter, which makes me and my father doubt whether you are too old and incompetent." Jiang Huaijing pointed at Li Shuyue who was punished in the courtyard, and his handsome face was full of displeasure. "At the New Year's Eve palace banquet, the Crown Princess and I treated her with courtesy, but I don't know how I upset the fourth lady. In broad daylight, she actually said that my East Palace is a filthy place."

Speaking of which, it was Li Shuyue who first cheated and tampered with Song Mianshuang's brocade box at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve.

The Crown Prince and his wife did not embarrass her and had already given her face. But now Li Shuyue was still saying in the mansion that the Eastern Palace was dirty and filthy.

Maybe her original intention was just to humiliate Li Qingqian, but humiliating the eldest sister's reputation is no better than insulting the Eastern Palace.

What's more, Donggong has taken a huge blame. Isn't this just ungrateful?

"Yes, my daughter lacks discipline. I will punish her severely later." After Li Zhengkang said this, he glared at Li Shuyue quickly.

"Alright, I'm here to talk about serious matters today," he said, taking the imperial edict from the imperial guards behind him. "Your Majesty has issued an order. Everyone in the Li Mansion should kneel down to receive it."

Although Shen Changyun was not from the Li Mansion, he had to read the imperial edict after all, so he knelt down next to Li Qingqian to receive the order.

I only heard Jiang Huaijing say:

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Li Qingqian, the daughter of the Left Prime Minister Li Zhengkang, is gentle, kind, docile, graceful, dignified, wise, and gentle, and is very much loved by me and the Empress. Starting tomorrow, she will be brought to the palace to stay temporarily, and will be married in the palace on February 2. I decree this!"

"Your Highness, please accept my order."

Li Qingqian accidentally heard her own name and looked up in surprise. Under Jiang Huaijing's meaningful gaze, she took the imperial edict with a dazed look on her face.

Get married in...the palace?
