After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

Logically speaking, the emperor's son would never have trouble finding a wife.

Until now, the Fifth Prince has never had trouble finding a wife. Not to mention one main wife, even if he had ten, eight, or a hundred wives, there would be people willing to send them to him.

The key is to make Queen Mother Zheng feel good, that this family has a future and can help the Fifth Prince, and that the girls in the family are well-educated and well-mannered.

After this screening, there are not many families left.

These families already have a promising future, and most of them do not want to get involved in danger or risk the lives of their entire family for the sake of winning the throne.

Some who were bold enough to gamble their fortunes, or who truly loved their daughter and were willing to support her son-in-law for her sake, felt that the Fifth Prince was a loser - he had committed adultery with his brother's fiancée before marriage, which was shameless; and he abandoned his entire family and sacrificed the poor orphan girl, which was heartless and ungrateful.

The emperor announced to the public that the third prince and the fifth prince were swapped with two girls because their horoscopes were wrong, but this statement was full of loopholes. Anyone who wanted to find out the truth could naturally find out what happened if they looked into it carefully.

A man who is shameless and ruthless will make even the most daring gambler hesitate the moment he puts dozens or hundreds of heads on the table.

As for those who came forward to get a taste of the royal wealth, Queen Mother Zheng really looked down upon them.

Upon hearing that General Weiyuan's Mansion had arranged her daughter's marriage, Empress Dowager Zheng was immediately furious.

"Okay, okay." Queen Mother Zheng sneered, "You feel that I am old and have lost my power, so you dare to offend me directly. Don't want to marry the fifth prince? Then I will see if her cousin is destined to marry her!"

Aunt Zhao was so frightened that she dared not speak.

It has been so many years since she became the empress dowager. Even the emperor has to look at her face. How dare a small general's mansion be so picky and look down on the prince!

If the Fifth Prince doesn't marry this woman, Queen Mother Zheng will see who dares to marry her!

......

General Weiyuan's eldest son Ma Baoguo has been staying close to Xiao Chengji these days.

Xiao Chengji had no dealings with the Ma family before, but he had an impression of each other in the officialdom. He felt that Ma Baoguo was not that kind of person, and was puzzled for a moment, so he asked around. Only then did he learn that Empress Dowager Zheng originally wanted to marry Ma Baoguo's sister to the fifth prince.

Xiao Chengji seldom asked about matters such as marriage because they had nothing to do with him.

He didn't even care much about the court struggles, as the emperor was always there to back him up.

But now he is married - in fact, he didn't want to get married, but the emperor forced him to. After all, he is married and has a princess, and everything can no longer be the same as before.

When he returned in the afternoon, he mentioned it to Yan Yu.

Yan Yu was still teaching the mynah bird that Huo Wang had sent over to speak.

This starling is quite smart, but no one likes it when it is presented to them.

The black and white feathers look so unlucky, like a small crow.

Originally, Huo Wang wanted to take it to the Cangfengtai. After all, the prince didn't like those colorful things. If he put it on the Cangfengtai, maybe the prince would find it interesting.

After being sent here in order to please Yan Yu, Huo Wang was scolded by Huo Ha, who said that he was a tactless person and that he should choose a cuter bird like the canary or thrush when sending it to the princess.

This thing is a living creature after all. Even if Yan Yu doesn't like it very much, he let someone outside raise it. After raising it for two days, he found that this little thing is really smart. As soon as Yan Yu entered the yard, he shouted "The princess is here", and he imitated the tone of the little girl in the yard, and his tone was a little nervous.

Yan Yu took some bird food to tease it and taught it to say "I want to eat". She talked for a long time until her mouth was dry, but the little thing didn't say a word.

Yan Yu was also a little tired. She took the wet towel handed to her by the maid and wiped her hands. When she heard Xiao Chengji mention the Ma family, she became a little curious.

Yan Yu didn't know much about the officials in the court. As girls in the boudoir, they basically had no conditions to know about the personnel affairs in the court.

But it’s different after getting married.

While concubines can eat and drink in the backyard without asking any questions, the mistresses of each household have to inquire about what is happening in the court, as it may concern the life and death of their own family.

Even girls who don't care about worldly affairs have basically heard of General Weiyuan. He is currently the most capable general in the court.

After hearing what Xiao Chengji said, Yan Yu frowned: "General Weiyuan's Mansion doesn't give the Queen Mother face, so the Queen Mother wants to make things difficult for their mansion?"

Xiao Chengji nodded.

Xiao Chengji understood the Queen Mother's temperament.

Yan Yu asked: "So General Weiyuan's Mansion wants to please you and ask you to protect him so that he won't be confiscated by the Queen Mother?"

"No," Xiao Chengji felt like laughing for some reason after hearing her words. She didn't know much about court affairs, so some of her words were quite interesting. "It's that Miss Ma might not be a good person. General Weiyuan has made great achievements in the war, and the court still needs him. All parties want to win him over, but the Queen Mother failed to win him over, and she got angry out of shame."

Yan Yu now understood: "I will try to take care of what I can."

Seeing that she understood immediately, Xiao Chengji nodded again.

He actually knew that Yan Yu had not yet established herself in the capital and many people did not know her, so it would be a bit difficult for her to do some things.

But always let her know.

Yan Yu was finally able to sit down and have a sip of water. She saw Xiao Chengji standing far away, as if he was a million miles away from her. She wished they didn't know each other and felt a little confused.

To be honest, she really didn't know what she had done wrong to Xiao Chengji that made him hate her so much.

Yan Yu also made him a cup of tea: "Your Highness, why don't you come over and have a cup of tea? Are you tired of standing there all the time?"

Xiao Chengji sat over.

There was a plate of milk cakes on the table. The cheese was added with hawthorn, raisins, peanuts and sesame seeds. Each piece was small and could be eaten in one or two bites. It tasted very delicious.

This dessert is not available in Lingcheng. Yan Yu only ate it after coming to the capital. She particularly liked it these past two days. She pinched a piece for herself and ate it. She pinched another piece and put it to Xiao Chengji's lips: "Your Highness, try this."

She wore a double-strand gold wire bracelet on her wrist, which made her wrist look particularly fragile, as if it could be broken with the slightest force.

Xiao Chengji tasted the milk cake she made: "My shoulders are a little sore."

Yan Yu went to the couch, sat behind him and massaged his shoulders.

She didn't have much strength in her hands, but her hands were so soft that she could clearly feel the temperature through a thin layer of clothing.

Xiao Chengji closed his eyes: "I don't feel anything, push harder."

Yan Yu's hands were almost sore from kneading, and after hearing what he said, he felt a little depressed, so he leaned on him to take a break: "Then let Huo Ha come over and knead you, eunuchs are very strong."

Huoha looked at the tall and strong fat man, and he must have endless energy.

Xiao Chengji's face darkened: "You continue."
