"Princess."
After Cui Sheng and his party left, Meng Po looked at Cui Tingyu worriedly. This matter would not end like this.
Cui Tingyu looked into the distance and smiled softly, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "Let's see when someone comes from the palace."
"Can it be more than half an hour?" There was an imperceptible sarcasm in Cui Tingyu's tone.
"Get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Cui Tingyu was halfway through painting when the guards hurried into the courtyard.
"Princess, Eunuch He is here."
Ink dripped on the rice paper, and the corners of Cui Tingyu's lips curled up, "He is indeed the son he holds in his heart."
"No need to follow."
Cui Tingyu put down his pen and walked out calmly.
"Princess, you... are really going too far." Eunuch He sighed.
"Please run for a while." Cui Tingyu nodded to Eunuch He and stepped onto the carriage.
In the Zhengde Hall, Emperor Ye had a sullen face, and his chamberlain stepped forward lightly, "Your Majesty, the princess is here."
"Bring her in." Emperor Ye held the tea cup, the veins on his forehead twitching slightly.
"My son, I have met my father." Cui Tingyu saluted Emperor Ye.
Emperor Ye looked at her and didn't let her get up.
The atmosphere in the hall was somber, and you could hear a needle drop.
After a long time, Emperor Ye spoke out, "You are the eldest princess, and you set an example for a noble daughter, but you can't even tolerate your own younger brother!"
"I have indulged you too much in the past!" Emperor Ye slapped the table, his anger showing.
"Father." Cui Tingyu raised his head, "Ye'er was less than ten years old when he left Jincheng. Do you still remember his appearance?"
"He has always admired you."
"He vomited blood all over his body, but he always believed that his father would seek justice for him."
Cui Tingyu's voice was very slow, Emperor Ye's chest rose and fell slightly, and he looked away, "I have already dealt with the people in the first palace, what else do you want!"
Cui Tingyu smiled, and she gave a big salute, "I accept my punishment."
"Why did you become like this?" Emperor Ye was filled with disappointment.
"Mostly a girl follows her father."
"Presumptuous!" Ye Di shouted.
"Send the princess back without my will, so there is no need to pay my respects!"
Ye Guo attaches great importance to filial piety, and Emperor Ye spared Cui Tingyu's greetings, which is undoubtedly telling everyone that he is disgusted with Cui Tingyu.
"Thank you, father." Cui Tingyu didn't look up.
Emperor Ye's hands were shaking with anger. He had always been proud of his eldest daughter for being smart, steady, and doing everything properly. He was almost obedient, but he actually manipulated her into this kind of virtue!
She should not have been allowed to leave Jincheng in the first place.
Cui Tingyu entered the princess's mansion first, and then the nun was sent to the palace.
Cui Tingyu caressed Qin, her eyes were very light. In the past, she would not have gone against her father.
But now, Ye'er doesn't just have to fight for the throne.
Why bother yourself anymore and follow their wishes.
Cui Sheng wants to unify all countries by focusing on talent but not virtue. What a joke it is.
"Princess, it's time to practice walking." The nun's face was cold, she held a ruler in her hand and looked down at Cui Tingyu.
"Gua Nao, drag it down."
Cui Tingyu got up, and Zhou had no more tricks.
She couldn't control her back then, let alone now.
"Princess, you don't take the emperor seriously!" The nanny was shocked and shouted at Cui Tingyu.
Cui Tingyu didn't even raise her eyelids. She didn't ask for favor, so how could she be afraid that he wouldn't like it.
The biggest punishment is to drive her out of Jincheng and she will not be allowed to return without an edict.
Zhou Wanwan threw two teacups in a row. What she hated the most was Cui Tingyu's aloof appearance. It seemed that she was the phoenix and the others were pheasants.
"Your Majesty, why should you be angry? It's only good that she is like this. The more she lets her temper go, the more displeased the emperor will be." The chamberlain whispered.
"I don't know this, but I just don't want to see her arrogant." Zhou Wanwan clenched her hands tightly, her eyes were like knives, trying to poke holes in her.
The chamberlain's eyes moved and he took a step forward, "Mother, the eldest princess is not young anymore. Didn't the prince's wife pass away from illness?"
Zhou Wanwan looked at the chamberlain and motioned for him to continue.
"Your Majesty is very angry. Do you feel sorry for the eldest princess? He will give you the marriage decree..."
The chamberlain paused and then smiled, "Now that you have entered the Marquis' Mansion, you can rub off on the eldest princess as much as you want."
"The most important thing is that without the eldest princess, it will be much easier to deal with."
Zhou Wanwan raised her eyes, her anger dissipated, and glanced at the waiter, "You are quite thoughtful."
"This slave is scared." The servant knelt down quickly.
After staying in Linyang Palace for so long, the chamberlain knew Zhou Wanwan's temperament very well, and he must hold her in high esteem.
"Get up, this matter is going to be done, and I will reward you heavily." Zhou Wanwan's mood improved.
At the princess's house, Meng Po handed over the post, "Princess, the wife of the official, the foreign minister, sent it here."
Cui Tingyu opened the post. After reading it, she shook her head lightly, "She is still so reckless. She is just asking for trouble for herself by asking me out now."
"Rejected." Cui Tingyu dropped a piece on the chessboard.
The second daughter of a British duke, she often played with her when she was young, and later married the eldest son of Marquis Zhongyong. However, Marquis Zhongyong was de-ranked due to negligence in his duties, and the British dukedom was declining day by day. Miao Changyi's situation was not good.
Getting involved in her affairs would be a disaster.
Zhou's viciousness is simply impossible to measure.

"Your Majesty, we have recruited a new group of blacksmiths. We have checked their backgrounds and they are all innocent." Pai Gow refilled Yang Shu's tea and said.
Yang Shu put down the pen and rubbed his wrist, "How much iron ore is left?"
"Less than ten boxes."
Yang Shu glanced at Pai Gow and said, "There is no iron ore anymore. Why hire so many blacksmiths?"
Pai Gow blinked, "It's not about making farm tools..."
Yang Shu leaned back, "This recruitment costs money every day, so prepare the iron ore first!"
If Pai Gow hadn't looked so pitiful, Yang Shufei would have deducted his monthly payment.
"Did Ye Guo send iron ore this month?"
Pai Gow nodded, "We consume too much iron."
There are spears, bows and arrows, broadswords, and horseshoes.
Now with the addition of farm tools, no amount of savings can be made.
Yang Shu rubbed his brows, he shouldn't wash away his reputation, otherwise he could be robbed.
"How much money is left in the warehouse?"
"Your Majesty, Mr. Jiang asked you not to make any plans. He said that you can't even dig out a copper plate."
"..."
"Send a team to Wuzhou. Cui Ye must have iron." Yang Shu said, touching his chin.
"Your Majesty, will he give it to us?"
"Miss Cui has gone back. Our people will not become hostages when they arrive in Wuzhou, right?" Pai Gow was very worried.
Yang Shu glanced at him, "Don't forget, it was Cui Tingyu who said he would provide me with supplies. Cui Ye's autographed letter is still lying in my secret room."
"It's just a good time to get familiar with the environment, so that I can help Cui Ye fight for the crown prince position in the future." Yang Shu said seriously.
"It's about being familiar with it." Pai Gow agreed.
"It's Pang Chang." Yang Shu decided on the candidate.
Pai Gow exited the house and made arrangements.
Yang Shu opened the drawer, took out the seal, and caught a glimpse of the doorman's token. His eyes stopped for a moment. Even if he had to use two legs, he would be able to walk back in half a year.
