Feng Jingyi continued: ”In this matter, Prince has already tried his best to protect the face of both palaces. But who would have thought that Imperial Physician Liu Yunyu would at this moment actually impeach Young Master Chu, which was why you insisted on annulling the engagement. ”

”Liu Yunyu?” Bai Zheng frowned.

”Liu Yunyu is an old friend of Minister Su. Recently, I have been extremely close to the Third Elder Brother. ” Feng Jingyi explained.

Bai Zheng squinted her eyes, ”It seems that Prince has gotten His Majesty's green eyes because of the paper making technique, Third Prince can't hold back anymore.”

Feng Jingyi nodded his head, ”Third Elder Brother will naturally not let go of this chance to step over his mother's clan.”

It could be said that Chu Feng had coincidentally bumped into Feng Jingxuan's spear this time. The matter of increasing the taxes was originally proposed by Feng Jingye, he must have long prepared everything beforehand. However, Feng Jingxuan was caught unprepared.

Which prince would not collude with one or two wealthy merchants, after all, these wealthy merchants were severely injured, so the prince behind them was naturally no better.

What's more, most of the princes had rich assets, but on the surface, they were only overseen by others. They were the first to be hurt when it came to increasing taxes.

Wouldn't Feng Jingxuan hated the person who suggested this to the point that his teeth itched?

Under these circumstances, even if he was unable to deal with Feng Jingye for a while, he could still easily punish Chu Feng who he had bumped into.

However, Bai Zheng did not care about Chu Feng's reputation, as long as it could be successfully annulled, it was not important.

Feng Jingyi sighed: ”Hearing that, Royal Father was enraged, and reprimanded Prime Minister Chu for his ill intentions. Fortunately, the people from the crown prince's bloodline tried their best to plead for mercy, and so they managed to suppress their anger. ”

Bai Zheng lowered her eyes: ”So the Fifth Prince is telling me that I won't be able to break off the engagement?”

Feng Jingyi shook his head, he was thirsty, and took a sip of the tea on the table, and said.

”In the course of the Imperial Physician's complaints against the Young Master Chu, he also mentioned Old General Bai Qiying. He said that this Old General Bai, who has worked hard his entire life for the Great Zhou, had only proposed marriage for his own little granddaughter, yet he had actually asked for a dissolute young master like the Young Master Chu. ”

It was as if he thought of the Imperial Physician Liu Yunyu's excellent performance back then, Feng Jingyi's face formed a ridiculing smile.

”When Royal Father thinks of Old General Bai, he is even more disgusted with Prime Minister Chu. Royal Father is straightforward too, your marriage has become like this, he is now in the underworld, I'm afraid he will have to face the Old General speechlessly.”

Mentioning Bai Qiying, Bai Zheng realized that his impression of this grandfather wasn't very deep.

When he went there, Bai Zheng was only five or six years old.

He only vaguely remembered this grandfather's spirited appearance. When he saw her, he would pick her up and stab her with his beard, and he even specially made wooden swords for her and her younger brothers.

Speaking of which, this grandfather of his was indeed the only one out of his father's family who truly loved his family.

Suddenly recalling the past, Bai Zheng was a little dazed.

After a long while, she finally asked in a faint voice, ”Then what does Your Majesty want to do?”

Feng Jingyi looked at her as if he was carefully observing her reaction.

”Royal Father has said that since Young Master Chu is not allowed to appear on the stage, then this marriage will not be decided. In order to live up to his expectations for the old general in the future, and even more so for the former subordinates of the old general, as well as his current cold heart and General Mansion, he will … ”

Feng Jingyi purposely paused for a moment, seeing how Bai Zheng was paying attention to him, he did not have any sort of reaction. He could not help but continue: ”Royal Father intends to personally choose a good son-in-law for you.”
