On this peaceful day, two small incidents in Prince Yin's Mansion spread quietly in the Imperial City of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty.
The first thing is the recent wedding in Prince Yin's Mansion. Prince Yin personally announced that the wedding will be simple.
The second thing is that all the princes and concubines of Prince Yin's Mansion went home to recuperate.
Regarding the first matter, it is said that the Minister of Rites tried hard to persuade King Yin for a long time and even cried for a long time, but to no avail. King Yin insisted on going his own way, so the Minister of Rites had no choice but to agree and go back to re-plan the matter and regulate the etiquette.
As for the second thing, after some investigation, it was found that it was indeed the case. The princes and concubines of Prince Yin's Palace returned to the homes of various high-ranking officials and nobles.
The dignitaries in the imperial city all speculated on King Yin's intention.
Most of the conclusions that were finally guessed were that King Yin wanted to launch an offensive against the prince wholeheartedly, so he wanted to keep his mind clear of anything else.
There are also some speculations that King Yin has ulterior motives, and the truth is hidden behind these two things.
Some people also said that King Yin wanted to hide his beauty in a golden house and was worried that the princes and concubines would not agree.
But he was quickly refuted. In the past, King Yin was so lewd and lustful, and no prince or concubine made irresponsible remarks.
Some people connected these two things together. It must be that the fact that King Yin was going to marry Luo Yuling from the Tianyue Fox Clan in the Southern Shenshui Region made several other princes and concubines feel discouraged and became angry. They each returned to the mansion and began to ignore King Yin.
For a while, there were different opinions.
There is only one truth, but no one knows it.
That is because Zhao Wujiang wants to give Dugu Mingyue and others a quieter environment.
Even if the princes and concubines dare not say anything in the palace, their inquiries from time to time will always affect their lives.
What's more, there are many people with mixed eyesight.
Therefore, Zhao Wujiang decided to temporarily send these princesses home, saying that he was busy with government affairs, and asked the princes and concubines to visit some relatives on his behalf.
This is the explanation given by Prince Yin's Mansion.
The explanation for the first thing is that the palace is getting more crowded and needs to cut down on expenses. Although the wedding is paid for by the treasury, the cold winter is approaching, and it is always good to have more money in the treasury to prepare for emergencies, and for spiritual practice. A middle-aged man is pragmatic rather than pragmatic.

"Is it really?"
In the deep alley outside Prince Yin's Mansion, Su Xiaoyao, who was happily stepping on the snow, turned sideways, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and with a smile on her face, asked about this man who was full of talent in her heart.
"Indeed." Zhao Wujiang nodded and said seriously:
“Prince Yin’s palace’s explanation to the outside world is my explanation.
It's all true.
I love telling the truth. "
At dusk, Su Xiaoyao, one of the prince's guests, came to visit in the name of the prince and brought a bottle of heart-nourishing elixir, a nearly thousand-year-old ginseng, and some sweet treats unique to the prince's house in winter. Eat.
After a brief exchange, Su Xiaoyao, who did not get some of the answers the prince wanted, stood up to leave, but before leaving, she winked playfully and signaled Zhao Wujiang to see her off in person. She also had some words to say.
Zhao Wujiang did not refuse and sent him outside the house in person. The two of them walked in the snow-covered alley.
"Since His Highness likes to tell the truth, can His Highness evaluate...evaluate Xiao Yao?" Su Xiao Yao smiled, she lost her previous shyness and asked without reservation.
"Well..." Zhao Wujiang knew that Su Xiaoyao had never been a passive woman, but an active one.
Especially a talented, independent girl from such a big family, her ideas are rarely restrained, sometimes fiery, and often bold.
Su Xiaoyao was more proactive than last time, perhaps because he had seen through the details behind today's visit.
The prince already has a grudge against her.
"Born to be good-looking." Zhao Wujiang thought briefly and said with a gentle smile:
"Knowledge of books and principles, having unique ideas of one's own, knowing how to advance and retreat, and understanding of propriety...
Well, thinking of this for the moment, there are quite a lot anyway. "
"Yes, Your Highness said a lot." Su Xiaoyao pouted, with her hands behind her back and twirling her fingers, she suddenly turned around, leaned forward, stood on tiptoes, and moved her pretty face closer:
"Then Your Highness..."
