It is better to be an emperor than to fight in the palace

Chapter 67 Falling in love with you
  Yuan Qifeng looked at the flustered Jiang Simian with amusement.

"You can accept soul exchange, and you're not afraid of looking for ancient clan tokens. Now it's just a prince returning to Beijing, why are you so panicked?"

Jiang Simian thought to himself, I've read too many of the first two in novels, and it's easy to fool me, but these eight princes are real princes. I can't not even know the name of my younger brother in this body.

"We don't have time, please introduce this Eighth Prince to me quickly," Jiang Simian urged.

Yuan Qifeng thought for a while, "The eighth prince's name is Yuan Xiuqi. He is the son of Concubine Hua Guifei. He is three years younger than me. He did not participate in the battle to seize the rightful son, so he was saved. Later he stayed in his fiefdom and became the Xiaoyao King. I have never returned to the capital."

Jiang Simian nodded while listening, "What then?"

Yuan Qifeng asked doubtfully: "What else?"

"No, you said that any old man in the palace would know these things. I'm asking you, what is your eighth brother's character, what are his methods, why didn't you participate in the battle for the rightful son, and who is his mother-in-law, Concubine Hua Guifei? His origin, the power of his natal family, and his relationship with his maternal grandfather's family, these are all things we need to know. Do you know what it means to know yourself and your enemy?" Jiang Simian was speechless.

"I know that I know myself and my enemy, but I really don't know what you asked me," Yuan Qifeng said sincerely.

"Aren't you two from the same father? You both live in the palace, how come you don't know anything?!"

Yuan Qifeng said that he had not taken him seriously when he was the prince, and he would not take him seriously after he ascended the throne.

"You're so...nice!"

Helpless, Jiang Simian had no choice but to tell him to tell him whatever he thought of at any time.

The two of them waited quietly for the arrival of the Eighth Prince.

Soon, Liu Xu reported that the Eighth Prince had arrived at the door, and had brought with him a close friend of his. He had brought a lot of travel experiences that he wanted to share with the Holy One. I wonder if the Holy One would be willing to summon him.

Having said this, Jiang Simian also wanted to know what his purpose was, so he summoned them.

But one thing they seemed to have forgotten was that none of them knew what the Eighth Prince looked like.

I have never met Jiang Simian. Yuan Qifeng's original words were: I don't have time to remember so many irrelevant people.

The result was that when two people of similar age visited him at the same time, they couldn't tell which one was the Eighth Prince.

But soon, Jiang Simian thought of a good idea.

She lowered her head and pretended to drink tea. While lowering her head, she said, "Badi, please get up quickly. You don't have to be so polite."

Jiang Simian thought that the Eighth Prince must have gotten up first, and he would know who it was by then.

Unexpectedly, after taking a sip of tea, both of them sat down on the chairs.

In desperation, Jiang Simian had no choice but to pick up the tea cup again and said, "Eighth brother, why don't you introduce your friend to the emperor?"

The Eighth Prince was also surprised that he had never heard that this royal brother loved tea so much before.

Fortunately, Jiang Simian recognized the Eighth Prince this time.

The Eighth Prince Yuan Xiuqi pointed to the person next to him and introduced: "Brother Emperor, this is a close friend I met when traveling around the world in recent years. He is the fifth prince of the Jin Kingdom, Shangguan Yunchuan, a member of the Jin Kingdom. He has good relations with our country, so he came here specially to visit the Emperor."

Shangguan Yunchuan? !
  Jiang Simian almost spit out a mouthful of tea. When he saw Yuan Qifeng calmly shaking his head, he realized that Yuan Qifeng had never met Shangguan Yunchuan himself. Jiang Simian suspected that with Yuan Qifeng's temper, he might not even remember who the emperor of Jin was, let alone the fifth prince.

But from this point of view, the identity of the person brought by the Eighth Prince is very suspicious, at least he is shady, otherwise there is no need to borrow the identity of the prince of the Jin Kingdom.

But aren't they afraid of being exposed?
  "It turns out that your friend is the prince of the Kingdom of Jin. It just so happens that I recently want to send someone to the Kingdom of Jin to maintain the friendly relations between the two countries. Yunchuan will ask you to say more kind words in front of His Majesty the Kingdom of Jin. ", Jiang Simian laughed.

"No, no problem, but I don't think this matter should be rushed. My mother has been unwell recently, and my father is busy with her, so it is not convenient to receive the Yuan family's envoys. Don't make the two countries unhappy by not greeting them well." , Fake Yunchuan said.

Jiang Simian nodded understandingly, "The queen's health is still more important, so let's put this matter on hold for now. We will discuss it again after your mother's health is well."

Fake Yunchuan expressed his gratitude with excitement, "Your Majesty, I will definitely send your care and greetings to my father and mother."

Jiang Simian almost couldn't help but laugh out loud. I thank you for helping me transfer it, but I can decide it myself. After all, I am my godfather and godmother now.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the Eighth Prince finally took Fake Yunchuan away.

After leaving the gate of Qianqing Palace, the Eighth Prince went to the Queen Mother to say hello, but he only sat there for a few minutes before leaving.

"It seems that the Queen Mother returned to the palace just for the Eighth Prince," Yuan Qifeng said.

But he didn't think about one thing, "But in my memory, Concubine Hua is the person that the Queen Mother hates the most, so how could she get involved with the Eighth Prince?"

"People die for money and birds die for food. The Queen Mother is willing to put aside her prejudice against Concubine Hua and help the Eighth Prince. There must be a purpose. As for the Eighth Prince, he is definitely not a good person. He brought a fake prince of the Kingdom of Jin inexplicably. I don't know what he wants to do." Jiang Simian said thoughtfully.

"How do you know that the prince of Jin Kingdom is fake?" Yuan Qifeng raised his eyebrows.

Jiang Simian paused and said quickly: "When we were in the Kingdom of Jin, we caught up with the prince on a trip and met the five princes once."

Hearing this, Yuan Qifeng also fell silent. Pretending to be the prince of the Jin Kingdom is actually a very risky thing and can be easily exposed. Why do you do this?

But soon, the purpose of this fake Yunchuan was known.

Under the guise of sharing his knowledge with his royal brother, the Eighth Prince frequently brought fake Yunchuan into the palace.

At first, Yuan Qifeng accompanied them every time, but after a few times, she was too lazy to come, and completely left the pair of guys who didn't know what they were doing to the equally annoying Jiang Simian.

But not long after, when Yuan Qifeng returned to Qingyuan Hall after a boring walk around the palace, there was a letter sitting squarely on the table in the inner room.

Looking at the unsigned envelope, Yuan Qifeng asked, "Chun'er, has anyone been to Qingyuan Hall today?"

Chun'er shook her head, "Miss, I just went to Ruan Yingsheng's place to help Lan Hua make sweet-scented osmanthus cake. I didn't notice anyone coming."

Yuan Qifeng nodded, then sat down and opened the letter, reading it carefully.

Then he slapped the letter on the table with a gloomy expression.

This damn eighth prince and that fake prince actually set their minds on their own women.

That's right, the letter was sent in by a fake Yunchuan who didn't know how. It expressed one meaning inside and outside the letter. He Shangguan Yunchuan, the fifth prince of the Jin Kingdom, fell in love with Jiang Si and Mianjiang Chang Zai.
