The mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are beautiful and the scenery is pleasant. During the tour, your mood will get better unconsciously. They are young girls. They are at an age where they don’t know anything about worries, so the atmosphere is relaxed and happy.

After all, this day's trip was a rare and successful trip in a while.

The Crown Prince and his entourage also returned to the palace in the evening. The Emperor left his three sons to have dinner. The Crown Prince sent someone back to say that Xie Yunshu no longer waited for him and went with the second princess.

When the prince returned to the palace, it was already dark. He smelled of alcohol, but he was still clear-headed, so he thought he was just having a drink.

Knowing that Xie Yunshu didn't like the smell of wine, the prince said a few words to her and then went to change into a set of royal blue dark water pattern regular clothes, with a round collar and wide sleeves, casual and comfortable.

He smiled and stretched out his hand to take Xie Yunshu's hand. An Tong, Xiao Lan and others bowed their heads and left in a hurry. As for the second princess, she had already said goodbye and left when he came back.

The prince took the person into his arms, looked down and then raised his eyes, looked at each other, smiled, and kissed her naturally.

The prince's hand subconsciously fell on Xie Yunshu's belly, caressed it gently, and said softly: "When will Shu'er give birth to a child for the orphan?"

Xie Yunshu's body suddenly stiffened slightly.

"Don't be afraid." The prince kissed her gently on the cheek and whispered softly: "I will protect Shu'er and our child. No one can hurt Shu'er or him."

Xie Yunshu herself came to her senses and smiled softly: "I was overreacting."

She can also protect herself.

The prince said: "Shu'er didn't overreact, anyone else would do that."

This is the case in the palace.

"But there's no need to worry, Shu'er."

Xie Yunshu couldn't help but look forward to it, with a smile in her eyes: "Yeah!"

The emperor did not go out again, and everyone planned to rest for two days before setting off back to Beijing.

Only the third prince was particularly busy and stayed in Hangzhou temporarily.

The third prince had previously mentioned to the emperor about building several more academies in Jiangnan and building a library in Hangzhou for students from Jiangnan to read for free.

If this matter comes to pass, it will be a great event in the literary world, and the scholars in Jiangnan will definitely be grateful. Jiangnan's literary affairs will become even more prosperous, and the reputation of the third prince among the scholars will also be more prominent.

Yesterday, the third prince took advantage of the emperor's joy and mentioned it again, and implicitly stated that if this matter was to be implemented, there would be no need to allocate additional funds from the Ministry of Household Affairs in the capital, and it would be enough to withdraw part of the property confiscated from the corrupt officials in Hangzhou's officialdom that had just been reorganized.

Jiangnan was already extremely wealthy, and the generals of Hangzhou, the prefect of Hangzhou, and others were greedy. The property confiscated during the house raids was a huge sum of money. It was entirely feasible to use part of it as a special fund for the construction of Jiangnan Academy and library.

The emperor promised the third prince yesterday, praised the third prince, and told the third prince not to rush back to the capital, but to stay here to take the lead in supervising the matter. When everything is on track, it will not be too late to return to the capital.

The third prince was naturally overjoyed.

The eldest prince's people have just been pulled over, and although the vacancies are being filled one after another, it is quite easy to arrange for one's own people, win over some people, or just form a good relationship at this time.

The third prince had a legitimate reason to stay here, and he was naturally very happy.

The prince has no objection to this.

His third brother is sometimes too smart - he can't be called smart, more like arrogant. opinionated.

He thought he was very smart, but in reality he was too petty and calculating. Since his father asked him to stay, he should stay.

The prince has no intention of doing anything.

no need.

The most important position of Hangzhou magistrate has been determined to be Concubine Xin's father. This is enough.

At this time, Concubine Xin's father, Mr. Liu, the former magistrate of Jiangxi, may have received the transfer order and will come to Hangzhou to take up his post in the near future.

The prince doesn't need him to do anything. He does his job according to his duties. Whenever there is any trouble in Jiangnan's officialdom, it is enough to take note of it.

On the first day of their return to Beijing, the third prince's concubine took several boxes and cages with her and made a special trip to visit Xie Yunshu.

"The third brother and sister are rare guests!"

Xie Yunshu gave up her seat with a smile. Seeing her acting like this, she understood something in her heart. She deliberately joked and said, "What a good day it is today. Are my three brothers and sisters here to give me a gift?"

The third prince's concubine covered her mouth and smiled: "Second sister-in-law, why don't you know my purpose? Stop teasing me!"

Xie Yunshu was amused: "But, I really don't know the purpose of the third brother and sister's visit!"

The two smiled at each other.

The third prince's concubine didn't believe that Xie Yunshu really didn't know. She took a look at the four big boxes and said sincerely: "Please second sister-in-law, please take these things back to my mother and concubine. These are some specialties that the third prince and I bought in Jiangnan. Dedicated to my mother and concubine. Please tell my second sister-in-law to tell my mother and concubine, please rest assured that everything is fine in Hangzhou City with Your Highness Third Highness. When the things here are settled, we will return to the capital together and then go to the palace to pay my respects to my mother and concubine!"

Xie Yunshu said half-jokingly: "The third brother and sister have such filial piety, why don't they return to the capital first? Your Highness, the three brothers and sisters are in trouble here and the three brothers and sisters can't help. Wouldn't it be boring to stay here?"

These words were not very polite, and the third princess subconsciously thought that her husband actually did not agree with her staying. When she mentioned it to him, he refused without thinking and asked her to return to the capital to serve her mother. No need to stay here.

She thought he would be happy for her to stay. When she said this, she was full of joy, tenderness and expectation, and she didn't want her enthusiasm to be poured cold water on her.

My heart felt cold at that time.

The third prince's concubine was a somewhat arrogant person. She was angry, embarrassed and embarrassed by her husband's rejection. She immediately became suspicious: If he refused to let her stay, could he want to leave her alone so that she could have an excuse to accept two Jiangnan beauties? The red sleeves around you add fragrance?

Yes, it must be so!

He is His Royal Highness, the prince who is legitimately favored, trusted and valued by the emperor. Even if he does not have such thoughts, there will definitely be people who will send people to him.

Which man would refuse such a thing?

When he returns to Beijing, there might be some unsightly goblins following him!

The third prince's concubine said nothing, and at that time she was determined to stay and watch.

With her here, if anyone dares to give someone away to His Highness, she will definitely stop him. This kind of thing must never happen! How could her husband have another woman? She doesn't care what happened in the past, but she will never agree!

When the third prince's concubine paid his respects to the emperor, he respectfully asked to stay, saying that it would be convenient for him to take care of the third prince.

The emperor agreed and praised her for her virtuousness.

The third prince also had a smile on his face at that time, but when he returned to the palace, he gave her a bad look. In the past two days, he didn't even have a good look towards her.

But the third prince and concubine pretended that they didn't know or didn't care, so they just kept doing it. (End of chapter)
