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

After soaking in a tub full of medicinal herbs, the pain eased, and a few more needles were inserted under Huang Huifeng's white eyes.By the time he changed his clothes and walked out, Zhou Yu had disappeared.

Yiman subconsciously said, "Where is Zhou Yu?"

Seeing that the eldest princess was well, the little maids were relieved and covered their mouths and snickered, "Master Zhou is gone."

Yiman looked away and looked at the little palace maids again, "Don't mention a single word about today's events. What you are thinking of is absolutely impossible."

Seeing the serious look on the princess's face, the maids stopped smiling for a moment, and responded with a sincere blessing.

"Humph, the eldest princess still has time to give her instructions. If these legs are not taken care of, they will really become lame. I don't know how my body can be so weak. I can't kneel for more than an hour."

Yiman sat down in the study amidst Huang Huifeng's complaints and watched Huang Huifeng perform acupuncture. Yiman looked at Hanzhi and asked, "Did the Seventh Prince come in later?"

Hanzhi shook his head, "No, after you left, princess, the seventh prince left without stopping."

Did he really just come to see her?

Yiman was confused and looked at Lu Bo, "What's going on with Concubine De? Has the decree of punishment never been issued?"

"There has never been a will to punish Concubine De, but there is a will from the Seventh Princess."

"what?"

"The decree has just been made. The seventh princess is betrothed to a second-level Jinshi named Xiao Li, who has been appointed to the Imperial College."

Yiman glanced at the list of top two, and saw that Xiao Li was from a poor family, ranked just behind the Xie brothers. He didn't expect to get the position of Imperial College.

According to the unwritten rules in the DPRK, most princes-in-law hold idle positions, or do not hold positions at all.

This Xiao Li managed to get a rank in the upper reaches of the second class, but because the emperor wanted to win over children from poor families, he never had the chance to become an official in the cabinet.

I don’t know how he feels about this overwhelming wealth and splendor.

It's a pity that a kid from a poor family was finally admitted to the exam, and it was such a waste.

Yiman sighed, "Concubine De is really a hundred-footed insect who can die without being stiff."

"But His Majesty has been under house arrest."

In any case, the Duan family is no longer a great power.The direct lineage outside has no backing in the palace, so it can be dealt with slowly.Without the seventh prince and the Duan family, Concubine De could still find opportunities to play around.Only the seventh prince successfully avoided it for three years.

Yiman responded, looking at his sleeves from the corner of his eye, and caressed his fingers unconsciously twice, "Hanzhi, you and Song Guo collected the medicinal-smelling things according to the list. Give Huang what you can take away. Go back to Feng and deal with the rest."

Before Hanzhi agreed, Huang Huifeng became anxious, "Why? These are great for your health, and there are so many things, how can I move them away?"

Yiman lowered his eyes and couldn't see his expression clearly, and there was silence in the study.

Huang Huifeng immediately realized that there was something wrong with his tone and said, "I'm being impolite."

Yiman raised his eyes and looked at Huang Huifeng, "When you hand the things over to him, tell him. I will do my best to fulfill my promise, but I'm afraid of letting him down."

Huang Huifeng was stunned for a moment, but even if he understood the reason, he lowered his head and said no more.

Hanzhi responded and went down to clean up.

Zhou Yu is as smart as a demon and has the Zhou family on his back, so how can he do whatever he wants.

Even if he is a child from an ordinary family, Yiman would not consider it.

What she wants to take is a road of no return to power. On this road, she should not involve others, nor should she add weaknesses to herself.

East Palace
The weather was getting hotter and hotter. As I watched the memorial, the sound of cicadas filled my ears.

"Princess, the seventh princess's wedding is almost ready. The palace has been very lively recently."

Yiman put down the memorial and said, "Yes, it's difficult for the Ministry of Rites and Qingning Palace to collect so many things in such a short time."

Ji Lan brought fruit to Yiman and handed the prince a bowl of fruit ice. "I heard that the princess's mansion was chosen to be the old house of a county prince. From now on, the seventh princess can leave the palace and live with her consort."

Yiman responded casually, and her eyes suddenly stopped while she was flipping through the memorial, "Leave the palace to build a mansion?" A court official actually asked her to leave the palace and build a mansion?
The prince glanced at the memorial and nodded with a smile, "You have already reached the age of hairpin. Now you are 17 years old. You are both the direct descendant and the eldest son. There is a precedent for moving into the princess's mansion."

Yiman's eyebrows were filled with worry, "But will the emperor agree?"

Seeing the prince, he smiled and said nothing. Yiman flipped through a few more memorials and said, "They all asked me to leave the palace and open a mansion?"

The prince nodded, "The seventh princess is ready to open the palace, there is no reason to go past you."

Yiman smiled lightly and shook his head, "Although I don't care, it is indeed more convenient to open a mansion."

"There are only a few copies, and the rest have been sent to my father's desk."

Yiman flipped through a few more books, "Why is there still Zhou Shilang——"

The prince looked at Yiman with unclear meaning, "Most of the Zhou family factions have submitted memorials to support you leaving the palace and opening a mansion."

Yiman looked away from the prince's gaze, holding his forehead and not knowing what to say.

In order to understand the crisis of the marriage, she asked Zhou Shilang to write a letter asking for marriage. Now that she is causing trouble, wouldn't it be obvious or covert that the Zhou family has been actively getting closer to her.

Obviously everything has been delivered and everything has been cleaned.The recent memorials about the Zhou family and the information that would not harm the interests of the prince were also blocked and delivered to the Zhou residence.What does Zhou Yu think? For a young master from a noble family, being openly rejected is not enough?

Or is this what Princess Rongyu and Master Zhou mean?
Yiman twitched the corners of his lips, "Really? Then I leave the palace and open a mansion after the seventh princess's wedding?"

"We should prepare the seventh princess after her wedding, otherwise it will be too late."

Yiman nodded and continued reading the official newspaper.

There was a sudden sound outside. The prince stood up and went out to greet him. He stood up and went to hide behind the screen.

"Your Highness, this old slave is polite."

"It turns out to be Eunuch Fu. No courtesy."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has summoned His Majesty to issue an edict in the Zichen Palace."

"Yes."

After the prince left, Yiman sat back on the desk from behind the screen.Not long after, the prince came back with the imperial edict.

"Brother Emperor, what's going on? It's so formal?"

"Zhongshu's subordinates promulgated the Spring Branch New Policy, and my father asked me to supervise the implementation and advancement of Shangshu Province."

"Have all the provisions of the New Deal reforms been released?"

The prince nodded, placed the imperial edict in front of Yiman's desk, and took out an official newspaper from his sleeve. .

Although it is well known that the New Deal reforms are aimed at aristocratic families, the specific provisions have never been known. Now that they are all revealed, it will definitely cause shock.

Yiman opened the official newspaper and took a quick glance at it, "Every article does not mention aristocratic families, but every article targets aristocratic families. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, why is this article not allowing businessmen and their children to take scientific examinations?"

The prince sat down and took a sip of tea, "The aristocratic family is deeply involved with merchants. You should know that officials in our court are not allowed to engage in business, but the aristocratic family is involved in more than a few business transactions, so most of them rely on family members and managers."

"So this article is to cut off part of the family's economic source by targeting the merchants who belong to the family, or to prevent some children from branch families from participating in the imperial examination?"

The prince nodded, and Yiman immediately frowned, "But most businessmen don't rely on the aristocratic family, what about them? Also, the aristocratic family can think of other ways, pay to rely on the servants, or other methods?"

The prince sighed slightly, "The land in Daling is vast and rich, but my father doesn't care. I'm also curious about why my father is so eager to encircle and suppress the family. But such a decree can, on the one hand, focus on agriculture and suppress business, and on the other hand, it can The aristocratic family imposes certain restrictions.”

Yiman lowered his eyes and looked at the official newspaper, "This is not fair. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, no matter what they are, there is a surge of talents. This is not fair."

The prince looked at Yiman with pleased eyes, "Then what do you want?"

Yiman glanced at the prince, said nothing, and put away the official newspaper.
