Volu Dynastic Records</e</eraphy of Jiang Suiyun</etientle The area within the Cold Courtyard was covered by shady foliage Since last year’s incident in the Ministry of Revenue and the sudden death of the Minister of Revenue, Liang Jinqian, the situation suddenly beca E, de all of the officials in the Ministry of Revenue After the ed, the new Minister of Revenue, Han De of Sanyuan,¹ was appointed, a bureaucrat who had spent years in the ministry As he had not passed the imperial examinations nor had any accomplishments, he was never able to reach his aspirations for ation into the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue, it was only his accounts that were the clearest Therefore, Li Yuan prorades to beco only the emperor As such, the crown prince did not dare to disrespect hiain inserted er co the fifth month last year, the appearance of disciples of the Devil Sect in Xianyang caused alarm in the entire world Ultiyi Sect The n’s decision to leave the Central Plains, and would frequently return to the Central Plains to stir up trouble After the Fengyi Sect executed the n of the Devil Sect, Jing Wuji was co to raise difficult questions and not apologizing As a result, this matter was ended without a conclusion

Afterwards, an unprecedented cal’s political situation Every day, the crown prince adhered to a routine, only handling adsile- He not only did not associate with the ministers of the court, he made no efforts to attract new, virtuous subordinates His only action was delivering some of the poor scholars who failed the imperial examinations to Youzhou to become officials Li Yuan had allowed Youzhou to autonomously choose its officials, and therefore did not eniuses, and as such the crown prince’s faction were unwilling to become hostile over such a sths and bided their ti entered a period of unprecedented calm and tranquility However, those who used their heads knew that this was only the calm before the storm The relationshi+p between the crown prince and the Prince of Yong had reached a point where neither could perardless of the storm outside, within the Cold Courtyard, a marvelous scene had appeared Within the pavilion, the Prince of Yong was leisurely looking at a chessboard Seated opposite hi a piece with a cal’s turn Outside the pavilion, a white-clothed scholar was on all fours on the lawn, playing the role of a irl dressed in red In a tender and loving voice, she called out, “Daddy, faster!”

Over this year of rest and convalesce, I had already coh I still seeer looking like I would die at anyaround a quarter of an hour pretending to be afor o on Surely, you don’t want to exhaust daddy such that there will be no one to read Brother Jun’s letter to you?”

Roulan’s black eyes rolled for aoff o see the Princess”

I smiled and replied, “Not today After a few days, when the Princess of Yong goes to see Princess Changle, I’ll ask her to bring you along”

Roulan pouted “Didn’t the Princess say that Lan’er can frequently go see her?”

A slightly wry s that we had the final say on After the princess retreated towas delayed Although the eement, he also did not force the princess to co He did not dare to take a wife nor did he dare to ask that his betrothal to Changle be completed Rumors about the princess and I were circulated for some time But as the princess andfuel to the fire, the Prince of Yong was able to suppress the ru them to vanish like smoke After all, no one wished to force the uninvolved Princess Changle to become embroiled in the succession dispute Furtherer, and thus these ruotten

In reality, I believed that the Yong emperor had heard some of the rule and le’s possible feelings Therefore, over this year, I spent the time quite comfortably It was only that I would frequently think of Princess Changle, recalling the two tio to see Princess Changle Roulan would frequently be brought along by the Princess of Yong This small detail did not elicit any unwanted attention Everyone knew that the Princess of Yong treated Roulan as her own Everyone knew that the heir, Li Jun, was in Youzhou Every er back to the capital to report The irl and a letter Therefore, Roulan’s appearance in the palace had becoht of by everyone as due to her own lack of children and thus liked ht that involvement with someone also meant involve this ination could not be brought to light In addition, in order to see Roulan, Princess Changle would spend half the time in the palace After all, it was nor to enter the palace to pay her respects to the empress and the noble consorts However, if the Princess of Yong went to the nunnery to see Changle, it would cause people to worry whether Changle was beco As a result, even noble Consort Zhangsun loved Roulan dearly, going so far as to allow Roulan to stay in the palace for several days Roulan had evenEhty little girl With this, no one dared to gossip and le during this year and had no intention of asking if she lovedpass le She did not respond, only bestowing jade pendants and protective talis, I learned that over this year, Princess Changle’s coreatly ih happily, but was also cheerful before the Yong ehter like this, they no longer felt anxious to coloo that caused Princess Changle unhappiness, it was probably Wei Ying’s advances that used gentle and tender senti was earnest and sincere towards the princess Although he was disappointed at the princess’s refusal to get married, he would frequently send over small presents and books or top-notch brushes and ink-stones to try and win over this beautiful wole’s affection little by little caused the esun to becole was not ance, lack of entle princess to beco to harshly reject him As a result, she was only indifferent and distant However, the Yong esun both looked favorably upon their union Thus, Princess Changle would often have “chance” encounters with Wei Ying

Earlier, after considering Wei Ying’s stubborn infatuation, I realized that there was no harm for me to become colder If the princess had a coer have to worry As a result, I did not permit Roulan to enter the palace forquickly inforain moved to the nunnery If under these circule’s intentions, then I reatest idiot As a result, I no longer prohibited Roulan froh the princess and I never e warh ere so close and yet so far apart, I did not feel that ere disconnected

Regardless, I finally was able to get Roulan off ht how to read When Li Jun’s letters arrived one by one, I would burst out with laughter whenever hter held the letters in her hand that she could not understand and beg ht her to read and write, it would probably take two years before she would be able to understand the contents of these letters Without any other choice, I could only read the about their contents, only talking about the cos of the heir It was only that this Li Jun was quite articulate Every single tio to Youzhou to play Fortunately, these never lasted too long Although Roulan was still small, she was shy at heart and would absolutely not allow anyone else to see the contents of the letters, only allowing me to read thee to lether to read and write, otherwise I would lose this tru that I had finally risen toRoulan towards the pavilion, Li Zhi sht, let this game end like this”

I looked at the chessboard, seeing Li Zhi’s pieces already broken and in complete disorder, I sracious are good commanders If this were the battlefield, Xiaoshunzi would surely lose But with this gahness can only concede defeat”

Expressionlessly, Xiaoshunzi collected the pieces and chessboard, uninterested in agreeing withlook I could not help but touch my nose Truthfully, if I were to play with hiivedown, I picked up a teacup Xiaoshunzi had already handed Roulan over to the Princess of Yong’s maids to send her back I feltthe cup of hot tea, I could feel or restore and could not help but let out a coroan

Li Zhi s impeached the Commander of the Northern Barracks of the I that his household is a htly and replied, “This is probably Li Hanyou’s idea, right? Qin Qing completely listens to his wife now”

The persons ere theand Li Hanyou Half a year ago, she had beenhad been promoted to becoh this was an empty position, as the reality was that the Imperial Guard was controlled by the Grand General Who Suppresses Distant Lands However, as Qin Yi’s eldest son, no one could coh Qin Yi had not relinquished his power and authority, Qin Qing had the authority tohad becoenerals, while Princess Li Hanyou of Jingjiang had the status of an iyi Sect Although hera disciple of the Internal Hall of the Fengyi Sect, her position in the Fengyi Sect was still very high This couple would naturally be the focus of everyone What was rarer was that they were extre to become very envious

Li Zhi huo, Pei Yun forht his beloved concubine into his household, while his wife proper received a letter of divorce It is no wonder that Li Hanyou is indignant Lady Pei, Xue Qiuxue is a disciple of the Fengyi Sect Reportedly, she is as close as sisters to Li Hanyou”

Picking up the teacup, I cal stupid Pei Yun clearly did not wish to marry her That day when Pei Yun went to the Xue residence to ask for forgiveness, he already spoke quite clearly, indicating that he had a pregnant concubine If the Xue fa to pay the price But that Lady Xue was determined to marry into the Pei family That, in itself, isn’t much If that woman adhered to the traditional duties of a wife, Pei Yun would have been able to accept her after soood and honest h and she was too hasty, causing Pei Yun to remain at a distance But now that she has tried to harm the concubine and newborn infant, Pei Yun would have killed her if it weren’t for the Fengyi Sect Fortunately, this matter was discovered early, otherwise it would have been two lives lost However, Qin Qing’s criticism is also within reason Whatever happened, this can definitely be considered as a mess in one’s household”
