Evil Girl Reborn: The Eldest Princess, She Takes Manchurian Civil and Military Affairs

The carriage entered the backyard directly from the back door. Princess Rongyu sent a message early to make people retreat.

As soon as Man got off the carriage, he was taken to the small flower hall in the middle courtyard, where the servants served him tea.

Ji Lan stood in the flower hall before she could react, looking at Yiman in confusion, "Princess, Princess Rongyu is not really here to meet her daughter-in-law, is she?"

Yiman's face turned serious, and he reached out and flicked her forehead, "What nonsense are you talking about? Would the Zhou family use such shameful means to punish their children's affair? It must be the Zhou family who wants to negotiate terms with me. , I just don’t know if Zhou Yu knows about it.”

Yiman suddenly heard muttering outside and glanced at Ji Lan.

"The princess is here?"

"what do you think?"

"You old winter melon, go and see for yourself."

"I am the Minister of Civil Affairs. How can I go see the princess?"

"Don't you see what your son is interested in?"

"Shh, stop talking, the eldest princess will definitely hear you."

"Nonsense, how can you hear it from so far away——"

Yiman stiffened his neck and slowly looked at Ji Lan.Yiman clearly saw the smile in Ji Lan's eyes, heard the rustling sounds outside, and quickly slapped Ji Lan.

As soon as Man stood up and was about to walk out, he saw Zhou Yu walking toward the small flower hall in a dusty appearance, obviously coming in a hurry.

Zhou Yu glanced sideways slightly and saw Yiman standing in the middle of the flower hall looking at him, and his steps suddenly slowed down.

"See Princess."

Yiman nodded with a smile, turned around, walked back to the main seat and sat down.

Zhou Yu's movements slowed down and became more gentle and elegant, and the gentleman's temperament emerged. "Princess, I'm sorry, I took the liberty to invite the eldest princess to Zhou's house."

Yiman tilted his head slightly and looked at Zhou Yu's face carefully, finding him more and more good-looking.But think about it carefully, why would such a person like her, how could he like her?
Isn't it for the identity of the eldest princess and the benefits it brings?

Why would such a person with a gentle appearance and a cold heart be tempted if it wasn't for the benefit of the Zhou family?

From the corner of his eye, Zhou Yu saw someone staring at him intently, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and his eyes lowered.

It wasn't until a maid came up to change the tea that Yiman came back to his senses and looked away.

"It's okay. Princess Rongyu is an elder. If you meet her today, you should pay her a visit."

There was silence in the flower hall.

Yiman cleared his throat, "What do you think Mr. Zhou thinks of what I just said in Qingcai?"

Zhou Yu looked away from the tea cup, slowly raised his eyes, and looked at Yi Man with gentle eyes, "The common people believe that the scientific examination for students is the right path, but it is not the path to saving the world and benefiting the people as the eldest princess said. If you can survive it, Officialdom is the starting point of helping the world and saving the people. What the eldest princess just said was to comfort the students and win over the people."

Yiman smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Zhou can see clearly at a glance, what does Young Master Zhou think is the way to save the world and save the people?"

Zhou Yu glanced at the skylight outside and said, "Let nature take its course and do nothing."

Yiman smiled slightly, "That's why Mr. Zhou doesn't enter the court, so what's the point?"

Zhou Yu's eyes were indifferent and calm, "I'm just going with the flow, what do you think the eldest princess is?"

Yiman stared at Zhou Yu, "Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be princes. Zhuangzi's words still make sense. Therefore, everything must be determined according to the law. Only by respecting the law can we implement administrative orders and make the transition of Daling smooth."

Seeing that the Yimanjiang family was secretly comparing themselves to the princes who had stolen the country, Zhou Yu was not angry, but with a vague smile, "Zhongfa can only pass a special stage, it is just a small talk, the princess does not need to think too much."

Seeing that Zhou Yu was not angry, Yiman took a deep breath and said, "If you have different views, your actions will naturally be different. I will definitely do what I promised to the Zhou family, but the other things are unintentional."

Zhou Yu's expression remained unchanged, still with a faint smile, "Yes, I will send the eldest princess away."

Yiman nodded, went to the backyard, and got on the carriage.

Princess Rongyu and Master Zhou walked into the small flower hall and sighed helplessly. "Tell me about Yu'er. If the eldest princess agrees with Legalism, just let it go. Why do you want to say that?"

"It's not his fault, the eldest princess asked first."

"Then can he explain more later?"

"Zhou Yu has a cold temperament after returning to Beijing. It is not easy for him to talk so much."

Princess Rongyu frowned and turned to Zhou Shilang, "Hey, are you looking for trouble? Aren't I worried that he won't get a wife? He's already 21, look at it, in the same age as Mr. Chu's house?"

As soon as he arrived outside Qingsi Palace, Yiman was still in a daze when Ji Lan pulled his sleeve.

Yiman looked up and saw the seventh prince standing outside the palace gate, as if waiting for her.

Yiman stepped forward with a smile, "Why is the Seventh Prince here?"

The Seventh Prince looked at Man Man for a moment, then cupped his hand and said, "Eldest Imperial Sister."

Yiman nodded, "Shall the Seventh Prince come and sit in the palace?"

The seventh prince shook his head slightly, staring at Yiman with interest in his eyes, like a wild beast looking down at its prey, which made people hair-raising.

A wanderer greeted him with ease, "Then what brings the Seventh Prince here?"

The seventh prince then spoke slowly, "I want to see who took down the mother-in-law."

He smiled broadly and said, "The Seventh Prince was joking. I heard that the Seventh Prince will be going to keep vigil for the late Emperor in the near future. I can take this opportunity to spend more time with Concubine Virtue. Maybe I won't have the chance in the future."

The seventh prince had doubts in his eyes, "My father just kept my mother and concubine under house arrest. There will be many more days to get together in the future."

Confinement?

How could it be possible that the plot to kill the prince was known to everyone and was just under house arrest?
Is the emperor determined to give the seventh prince a chance to win the throne?
Or does the Duan family have some leverage over the emperor?

He was noncommittal and said nothing with a slight smile.

"You are much more lovable than my sister."

Bai Renyi?
He smiled faintly and said, "I don't need the evaluation of the seventh prince. The seventh princess is your sister. The seventh prince should be careful what he says."

The seventh prince turned his head slightly and looked at Yiman with a strange look in his eyes, as if he was wondering why Yiman said such a thing.

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Yiman thought of his emotional incomprehension and wanted to inquire, "Besides going to the Chongwen Pavilion on weekdays, where else does the Seventh Prince go?"

"Go and tuck——"

"Princess, Your Majesty has summoned you."

He glanced at the father-in-law who had come to convey the order, and glanced at the seventh prince with confusion in his eyes. What did he just say "tuck"?
"I know, father-in-law, please lead the way."

"Yes."

Yiman looked at the Seventh Prince and said, "Your Majesty has summoned me. I will go first. The Seventh Prince should go slowly."

The seventh prince nodded and left the entrance of Qingsi Hall with an expressionless expression.

Yiman walked towards Yanying Palace and looked back at the seventh prince's back in confusion.

What did he say 'tuck' just now?
Where the word "Gongli" begins with "Ye", the first thing that comes to mind is "Yeting". Could he be talking about "Yeting"?

But why does he go to Yeting on weekdays?

As soon as Yiman arrived at the entrance of Yanying Hall and was about to go in, he was stopped by Eunuch Fu.

"Your Majesty ordered the princess to kneel here and wait."
