The third prince, who had received the eldest prince's mission, had just arrived at Phoenix Mountain. When he heard about Prince Jing, he immediately put down his official duties and returned to Shengjing. On the way back, he met the carriage of the Queen Mother and her entourage, and the third prince went with him.
In the carriage, Tang Fu looked in the mirror and adjusted her makeup. She lifted the curtain and looked outside. Then she said to the Queen Mother: "Aunt, I want to go out and ride a horse."
"Do you want to ride a horse or talk to someone?" the Queen Mother asked Tang Fu fondly, tapping Tang Fu's nose.
"Aunt~"
Tang Fu tugged on the Queen Mother's sleeves and acted coquettishly, and it was obvious what she was thinking. Tang Fu never concealed this, because the Tang family was happy to see her getting close to the third prince.
After Tang Fu stepped out of the carriage after getting the promise, the Queen Mother's face immediately fell. It had to be said that the thorns Jian Yu had buried before were very effective. The Queen Mother felt more and more that Tang Fu's idea was too good.
"What's going on over there in Qinghe County?"
Qinghe County is the ancestral home of the Tang family, and most of the Tang family clan members live there.
"Master, Miss Six, Miss Seven, and Miss Ninth have already set off. We can reach Shengjing in about a month by water."
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction. The Tang family did not only have one girl to use, nor should they put all their hopes on Tang Fu. She hoped that the three clan girls who came over and were of the right age could gain some traction.
Tang Fu didn't know that the Queen Mother already wanted to train other girls. At this moment, her mind was on the third prince. She deliberately slowed down her riding speed and talked to the third prince in parallel.
"Third Prince, is Prince Jing back? Will he hear some rumors and then..."
Tang Fu looked sad when she asked this question, with sorrow hidden in her brows, and her uneasy look was like a frightened bird, making people feel pitiful.
Seeing this, the third prince comforted him softly: "Miss Tang, don't worry, the emperor shouldn't care about it, and many things are misunderstandings. Just clear it up."
Tang Fu hummed softly, her face softened, and then asked again in a worried tone: "Princess Jing offended the eldest prince. I wonder if Prince Jing will blame her when he comes back. Alas, I actually like Princess Jing very much, but it's a pity that she doesn't like her." I."
After a while, Tang Fu found that the third prince did not answer. She turned around and found that the third prince seemed to be reminiscing about something, with a faint smile on his face.
Tang Fu's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, she was sure that the third prince was thinking about Princess Jing.
Later, Tang Fu heard the third prince reply: "She has a simple temper and a sharp mouth, but she is actually very soft-hearted. You will know if you spend more time together in the future."
On the surface, he said that he was no longer friends with him, but in fact, he still loved him in his heart!
He went to find trouble with his elder brother, and finally gave him the benefit. This happened many times when the two of them were playing together when they were young.
The eldest brother has liked to compete with him since he was a child. At that time, his father gave him a jade pendant, but the eldest brother snatched it away. In the end, Jian Yu cried and said that the third prince's jade pendant was lost, which caused the Taifu Mansion to mobilize troops and everyone was there. try to find.
The commotion was so big that in the end the eldest prince had to secretly send the jade pendant back.
Later, Jian Yu slyly said that she did it on purpose, otherwise they would definitely not be able to get it out if they went to get it. In this way, even if the eldest prince didn't return it, he wouldn't be able to play with it in the future.
Although the prince's status seems to be very noble, the third prince was really not as happy as Jian Yu when he was a child.
The mother clan was not prosperous, so the third prince could only tolerate everything. The eldest prince and the second prince often bullied him, and Jian Yu often led him to seek justice.
Just like now, it seems that it is the conflict between the eldest prince and Princess Jing, but in fact he is the one who benefits.
Yu'er must have known that this job originally belonged to him, so she snatched it back for him. Yu'er has never changed, she's just a sharp-tongued person.
The happy mood lasted only for a moment. Thinking of Prince Jing's return to the capital, the third prince's face darkened. The uncle's life was safe and he was happy to return to Shengjing.
The situation in Bianbei is very complicated, and ordinary people cannot suppress it at all. The most important thing is the current situation in the court. As for the people who go to Bianbei, it is very likely that they are the eldest prince and the second prince.
Rather than being a member of the two imperial brothers, it would be better for the emperor's uncle to sit firmly in the north.
What he was worried about was Jian Yu. The emperor's uncle had always been free-spirited and had obvious likes and dislikes. Marrying Princess Jing was not what he wanted and Yu'er might be wronged.
The third prince never thought that Prince Jing would fall in love with Princess Jing. Yu'er is delicate and weak, and the emperor's uncle dislikes such pretentious women the most.
Therefore, the third prince's mood was very complicated. He was happy that his uncle would not have any other thoughts about Jian Yu, but he was also worried that his uncle would make Jian Yu feel wronged.
After thinking about everything in his mind, the actual reality only took a moment. After answering Tang Fu's words, the third prince felt that something was wrong. His tone was too close.
He quickly made amends and said in a serious tone: "The Emperor's Aunt and the Emperor's Uncle will not embarrass you. Miss Tang, don't panic. If there is any misunderstanding, I can help you explain."
"Thank you, Third Prince."
Tang Fu breathed a sigh of relief and cast a grateful look at the third prince. The hand holding the horse rope under her sleeve was already red from squeezing it hard.
She was right, Jian Yu was the person who posed the greatest threat to her!

When Prince Jing returned to Shengjing, the happiest person was the emperor, and the saddest person was the candidate, and that was Ning Guogong's family.
At the banquet, Ning Guogong was among them. Although he was sitting at the end, he still hunched over as much as possible for fear of being noticed. As for the female family members, Mrs. Gu did not come to hug her. She was not pretending. Sick, really sick from fear.
God knows that Prince Jing, the evil star, is not dead! If the other party knew about the previous holiday between Duke Ning and Princess Jing, how could they end up well!
Ning Guogong, who was racking his brains, made a time lag. Taking advantage of Prince Jing's busy schedule, he hurriedly resigned and returned to his hometown!
On the second day after attending the banquet, Ning Guogong resigned from the emperor, saying that he was unwell and could not continue to serve the country, and hoped that the emperor would allow him to retire and return to his hometown.
Naturally, the emperor would not persuade him to stay. He also knew what Duke Ning Guo was afraid of, so he agreed.
How scared is Duke Ningguo? I said my resignation in the morning, and the Duke Ning's mansion was empty in the evening.
He hitched up the big cart and the small cart and drove directly along the city gate. It is said that after attending the banquet, there was a lot of movement in Duke Ning's mansion that night. He probably made plans to pack his things.
Mrs. Gu and Mr. Ning, two figures who once represented prominent figures in Shengjing, will no longer exist after they leave Shengjing. When they return to their ancestral home, they are suppressed by their clan elders and are not recognized by the people below. Mr. Gu Some of Taijun's so-called rules are simply unacceptable in his ancestral homeland.
The people in Duke Ning's mansion who returned to their ancestral home were regarded as shabby in the eyes of their family members, and they came back only after they had failed to get along well. Moreover, one can find out what happened in Shengjing, so they couldn't even try to show off.
This is undoubtedly the most painful punishment for Mrs. Gu. After returning home, she may not even want to leave the house.
But there is no other way. If you go back, you can at least save the family. Who knows what methods Prince Jing will use in Shengjing?
"So fast?"
Jian Yu was a little surprised when she heard from Hongmei Report that Ning Guogong had moved away.
Prince Jing was actually so terrifying. Without saying anything or doing anything, he frightened Ning Guogong's family to the point of "throwing away their helmets and armors" and left in embarrassment without asking for anything.
If this is the case, then Princess Qingyun...
Don't mention it, there is really some gossip about Princess Qingyun, Hongmei continued.
