Chapter 432: Guess if they are okay?
Chapter 432: Guess if they are okay?
After Prince Rui returned to the palace, he went to the study immediately and wanted to have a conversation with his two sons.
After all, he had been busy dealing with various affairs in the past two months and had no time to take care of them.
Sima Yan looked at his exhausted father and couldn't help asking, "Hasn't the case of the fake Seventh Prince been resolved? Why is father still so exhausted?"
Sima Hui sighed softly and said, "This fake Seventh King and the Japanese tribe behind him do have some tricks up their sleeves. According to data, they have been prospecting for minerals in our Yu Dynasty for over twenty years, and have already explored one-third of our territory..."
Sima Yan and Sima Nan looked at each other in surprise.
"What?" Sima Yan asked in disbelief.
"Exploring mineral veins?" Sima Nan was also shocked.
Sima Hui nodded, resting his elbows on the table, gently rubbing his temples, and continued, "Not only that, a nautical chart was also found in the fake Seventh Prince's Mansion. It turns out that there are countless countries and vast tracts of unowned land on the other side of the sea..."
Hearing this, Sima Nan's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he said excitedly: "Then we can take a boat out to sea and explore those places!"
However, Rui Wang Sima Hui glared at him fiercely and poured cold water on him, saying, "Don't dream! Do you think you can get in with just your ability? Your seventh uncle was just rejected by your grandfather. Do you still want to make trouble for yourself?"
Then he sneered, his lips curled up slightly, and his tone was filled with a hint of sarcasm: "Your grandfather is probably choosing a concubine for your seventh uncle, hoping that your seventh uncle will settle down in the capital and integrate into the royal family."
Sima Yan nodded in agreement. "Yes, in the past few months, the princes, princesses, and princesses in the capital have been holding garden parties one after another. It's been very lively, but I've never seen my seventh uncle attend any of them."
Prince Rui Sima Hui frowned and asked with concern, "What about Yue'er? Has anyone sent her an invitation to the garden party?"
Crown Prince Sima Yan shook his head and replied helplessly, "It seems that these people don't give your father much respect. No one has sent an invitation to Yue'er at all."
Sima Nan grinned, revealing a dissatisfied expression, and said indignantly: "Those people also said that Yue'er is just a child and there is nothing to invite. If she is to be invited, her mother Li Bijun must go along."
When Sima Hui, the Prince of Rui, heard this, he was surprised and asked in confusion, "What does this have to do with Yue'er's mother?"
Sima Nan's eyes widened, staring at his father in disbelief. "Father, do you really not know, or are you pretending not to know? Madam Li Bijun was a renowned talent in the capital before she got married. Not only was she skilled in martial arts, but she was also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was known as the most beautiful woman in the capital..."
Then she continued, "After returning to the General's Mansion after her divorce, she was not only warmly welcomed by the Li family, but her daughter was also granted the title of Princess by the Emperor. Later, due to her meritorious service, she was promoted to Princess and given a title. How could the other princesses and princesses not be jealous?"
Sima Yan looked at his father seriously and said, "Dad, let me tell you, after the divorce, Yue'er's mother, Madam Li, looks even more beautiful. It's like she took an elixir. Not only has she not aged, but she has become even more stunningly beautiful. She's absolutely stunning!"
"So, Dad, think about it, those princesses, duchesses, and princesses must be very repulsive to her, thinking they can't compare to her, so there's no way they'd stand with her."
Sima Yan spoke of the rumors outside with some embarrassment, and felt a little unfair for Yue'er's mother.
Prince Rui Sima Hui drummed his fingers rhythmically on the table, a look of annoyance on his face.
"Your mother is gone, and your father has no concubines. It's really hard to take Yue'er out. It's really hard to hold a banquet in the palace without a hostess. You can't let her go and drink and chat with the princes!"
Sima Nan's eyes moved swiftly, and suddenly an idea struck him. He said, "Father, isn't Yue'er's Princess Mansion about to be completed and ready for occupancy? How about we hold a garden party there as well?"
Sima Yan immediately agreed after hearing this, "Yes, yes, this time we must prepare well and make up for the regret of the last birthday party being disrupted by the fake Seventh Prince!"
Prince Rui frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "Well... when I brought Yue'er into the palace that day, the ladies in the palace were like they had eaten explosives, full of hostility towards Yue'er. But fortunately, she is still young and doesn't understand much..."
Upon hearing this, Sima Nan couldn't help but roll his eyes and retorted dissatisfiedly: "Father, please don't underestimate your precious daughter. She is a powerful weapon, okay?"
Prince Rui was stunned and asked in confusion, "What's going on? Explain it to father!"
Sima Nan was so excited that his hair stood on end. He quickly explained, "She is often carried out to play by the maids. I've seen it with my own eyes several times!"
"The most important thing is that every time she goes out, she sees the two masters of the Yun Mansion and Liu going out. They are either besieged by little beggars, have car accidents, or are put in sacks and beaten..."
Sima Nan touched his heart with lingering fear. Why was he so "brave" when he first met Yue'er? It was a light punishment that he was not crippled.
He looked up at his father and asked seriously, "Father, do you know what happened to those people? Yue'er's men treated them terribly. It scared me just watching."
Sima Yan frowned and asked curiously, "What about the ladies in the palace? Did Yue'er do anything to them?"
Sima Nan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile: "Hey, what do you think?"
Prince Rui's eyes widened, and he secretly wondered: Could it be that Yue'er also didn't let those ladies go? This little guy is really naughty!
However, it’s also good this way, so that those people know how powerful we are, and they won’t dare to provoke our Yue’er easily in the future.
Sima Nan continued, "I heard that the Yun family sees a different doctor every day. The two masters of the Yun family always have pain in their bones or headaches in the middle of the night..."
King Rui listened to the two of them talking in riddles and glared at them impatiently, "Get to the point!"
Sima Nan then whispered softly, "Father, you've forgotten that Doctor Hu and his grandson live in her backyard. They have all sorts of medicines, and they're probably all very strange!"
Sima Yan couldn't help but pat him when he heard this. "Alright, stop talking nonsense. Yue'er is still young. How could she have any bad intentions? She just likes the hustle and bustle."
Sima Nan, however, shook his head in disagreement, looking at his brother with disdain, "Brother, don't treat her like an ordinary child. She just likes to watch the fun, but there are so many people who want to avenge her. Every time her cousins put sacks on people and beat them up, they like to hold her and watch the fun..."
Sima Yan shook his head. "Yue'er is so well-behaved. I was just helping her vent her anger. Didn't you get beaten up too?"
Sima Nan, "Don't mention this, we are still good friends."
Sima Yan jokingly said, "Okay, I'll go to the General's Mansion and tell Li Yifei and the others that the next person to be put into the sack will be you..."
Sima Nan, "Hey, are you still my brother? Why are you always helping outsiders?"
Sima Yan, "Yeah, I'm just helping Yue'er, so what? Just wait to get beaten!"
