Princess of the auxiliary country

Not only that, it was also seen by the guests at the time.

Princess Qingyang was also present that day. It is said that the two had a tryst in a rockery on the Nanyang County Duke's residence. They were found to be somewhat disheveled.

"Tsk, tsk, this prince hasn't given up yet?"

Hearing this, Princess Qingyang sneered and said, "If Cao Guogong has not come back, he will naturally not have any thoughts. But if Cao Guogong comes back again, Cao Guogong has a lot of connections, which will naturally arouse his interest."

"Besides, he and Zhao Yan'er didn't know each other at the beginning, so it's not unusual for the old relationship to rekindle."

"I just feel sorry for the Dong family sister."

Huo Junyao thought for a while, and by the way, the current crown princess was Dong Wenjin. She was a nice girl, and she had met her once before.

"and after?"

"It's not clear yet. Afterwards, the old lady of Nanyang County Duke's family was very angry and threatened to ask Duke Cao Guo to give her an explanation."

"After all, it was her birthday party. If you did something like this, it would be a slap in her face."

Huo Junyao nodded and continued to ask, "What's the news on the Emperor's side?"

"This is still unclear, but now that things are like this, if the emperor still wants to continue to use Cao Guogong, he will definitely make an arrangement for Zhao Yan'er."

"But I did hear some news. After the queen found out about this, she was very angry and punished the prince herself."

I have to say, this prince really makes people don’t know what to say.

As soon as there was any sign of stability, he would always do something unexpected.

"That's not right. I heard from dad yesterday that the emperor also assigned the prince to be responsible for the affairs of the refugees outside the city. Can he still do well after being punished?"

"I didn't ask him to be responsible, but I didn't ask him to be there in person. Isn't there Zhao Guogong?"

"Speaking of which, the Emperor is still reluctant to give up on the Crown Prince so easily. This clearly shows that he wants to gain credit for the Crown Prince."

This is true at all, and Huo Junyao saw it early.

Emperor Zhaowu still loved his prince very deeply.

Look at how many ridiculous things he has done, none of which a prince can do, but the Human Emperor still gives him face time and time again.

"Now everyone in the capital is speculating whether the emperor will let Zhao Yan'er enter the East Palace."

"After all, we have had skin-to-skin contact before, and now we are still being caught like this."

Hearing this, Huo Junyao shook her head and said, "This Duke Cao is really pitiful. He is a good person, but he was tricked into being like this by his daughter."

Thinking about Cao Guogong, actually, there is nothing too wrong with him.

They were all tricked by Zhao Yan'er. Now I'm afraid that his status in the eyes of the emperor has been reduced. Even if he recovers, it's probably impossible to be as good as before again.

"Why is he pitiful? I heard that he didn't do anything to Zhao Yan'er after learning about it."

"On the contrary, I entered the palace immediately, as if to beg the emperor to grant Zhao Yan'er a favor."

"But the emperor didn't let go, and he got very angry."

"In my opinion, this will eventually happen."

Huo Junyao didn't say much about this. She also felt that the eldest sister's analysis made sense.

Since the emperor chose to use Cao Guogong, it means that the emperor still wants to use Cao Guogong. Since he wants to use it, it will never be too ugly.

In her opinion, the reason why she didn't agree directly was probably because of Queen Shen.

Empress Shen resented Zhao Yan'er very much, as can be seen from her previous attitude towards Zhao Yan'er. Now that things are like this, Empress Shen can only be happy.

No, while the two sisters were having a lively chat, in the Fengqi Palace of the imperial palace, Queen Shen stared at the prince kneeling in front of her with a livid face.

"You just can't let go of Zhao Yan'er?"

The prince was silent at this time, and the crown prince Dong Wenjin beside him was also expressionless at this time.

However, if you look carefully, you can still find a kind of forbearance and aggrievedness deep in Dong Wenjin's eyes.

She is the Crown Princess. She has only been married for a long time, but the Crown Prince is already doing this kind of thing with other women in other people's houses.

This was simply trampling on her face. No matter how gentle her character was, she was extremely angry at this moment.

Especially since this woman was the woman who almost became the princess before, this made her feel even more humiliated.

"You're mute? Aren't you quite capable? You can't wait to get them together in other people's houses."

"Don't you dare say it now?"

Hearing this, the prince raised his head and looked at Dong Wenjin, who was sitting beside him with his eyes down in silence, with some guilt. Then he looked at Queen Shen and said, "Mother, I know it's my fault, but my son does not have feelings for Zhao Yan'er in his heart." lay down."

"Please mother, please grant me your permission."

As soon as these words came out, Dong Wenjin trembled all over, and Queen Shen beside him almost fell down with anger.

"you you you"

"Go away, go back to the East Palace and be grounded for a month."

The prince raised his hands and stood up. Dong Wenjin beside him was about to get up and follow, but was stopped by Queen Shen.

"Wen Jin stays."

After the prince left, Queen Shen stood up and pulled Dong Wenjin to the side to sit down.

"Wen Jin, I'm sorry for you. It's because I didn't teach the prince well, and you were wronged."

Hearing this, Dong Wenjin shook his head and said, "I don't blame you for this, and I don't blame the prince either."

When she first married into the East Palace, she had actually been prepared in her heart. After all, the incident between the Crown Prince and Zhao Yan'er had caused so much turmoil, and she also knew that the two would not break up so easily.

But what she never expected was that the prince would be so disrespectful to her. How long had they been married? He actually did this.

Of course, she also knew better why the prince did this.

She has been in the East Palace recently, so she naturally knows what the prince is doing in private.

It was nothing more than doing something to win over the courtiers, which she had already guessed. After all, the King of Qi and the King of Chu were pressing harder, and the prince was not someone who could handle things, so it was normal for him to want to strengthen his own power.

She didn't care about this. After all, she could marry the prince, and she had no intention of having a relationship at all. They were just using each other.

What she felt wronged was that the prince did not give her the dignity she deserved.

"The emperor also came to tell me about this matter before. Zhao Yan'er is not a good person, but her father Cao Guogong still has some effects on the country."

"I heard that the emperor intends to let Zhao Yan'er go to the East Palace. After all, it is not only for the dignity of the royal family, but also for Cao Guogong, who always has to give an explanation."

At this point, how could Dong Wenjin not understand what Queen Shen meant?

"My son, I don't have any objections. I just need to listen to my mother's arrangements for everything."

Hearing this, Queen Shen patted her hand and said, "The Queen Mother knows that you feel aggrieved. Don't worry, the Queen Mother will not make it easy for her."
