East Palace.

Prince Study.

A document was scattered on the large mahogany desk, and Prince Jingrui's eyes fell on one of the papers, staring at the results of the investigation on the paper, and a trace of gloom flashed quickly in his eyes.

"But it's just a merchant girl, are you sure there is nothing wrong with the investigation?" the prince glanced coldly at the dark guard lying on the ground in front of the desk, and finally turned to a middle-aged man sitting at the bottom of the table.

This middle-aged man is his father-in-law, the father of the crown princess Yang Shan, Yang Chongguang, the secretary of the household department.

"That's really all there is. Yang Chongguang glanced at the prince, he was also the prince's father-in-law, and he was a little dissatisfied with the prince's questioning of his ability to do things, especially the merciless scolding of himself in front of many staff, but in the end, because of the identity of the prince, he didn't dare to attack.

"This is strange, not only has she paid more attention to her recently, but even the queen and the junior have been in frequent contact with her during this time, why?"

The prince ignored Yang Chongguang's attitude, frowned and pondered, and suddenly a light flashed in his mind, causing him to stand up suddenly, his face was gloomy, his hands slammed on the desk, gritted his teeth and said, "Could it be that this Mu family is the help that the father and emperor plan to find for the third child?"

"With the Mu family's financial resources in the capital, it is very possible. Yang Chongguang's heart jumped suddenly, and he agreed, and the staff next to him also nodded in agreement.

You must know that although the current head of the Mu family is a little girl, but the foundation left by the ancestors is already strong, and then I learned that the recent incense shop, because of this little girl, first made tribute incense with his own strength, and then did what kind of care activities, just the incense shop for a while can be said to be making money, and then to other spice shops, but also with the tribute incense, business is booming.

If you really have such help from the Mu family, no matter what you do, it will be beneficial and harmless.

"It must not be cheap, Xiao San'er!" the prince bit his thumb and muttered with a hideous face.

Yang Chongguang did not miss the gloomy and greedy color in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince, and immediately guessed that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also had thoughts about the Mu family at this time.

Relying solely on the relationship between the monarch and the minister, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can win over the Mu family, whether it is for His Royal Highness the Prince, or it will be easier for him to achieve great things in the future, he should have agreed or directly proposed to win over the Mu family before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spoke, but he also knew that if he wanted to win over the Mu family, he had to start with that Miss Mu, and the most feasible way was nothing more than getting married and marrying.

But his identity, in addition to the book of the household, is also the father of the crown princess, if the real prince wants the Mu family to marry, it is to create enemies for his daughter.

Now the crown princess is not the only one in the prince's mansion, but the concubines in the backyard, almost all of whom are welcomed into the palace by the prince in order to attract useful people.

Like his Yang family, I think that he still relied on his father, who was an elder, to be loyal to the emperor, and gave the prince this family business, and now his father has already resigned from an important position in the court due to old age and decrepitude, and returned to the ancestral house for the only reason to take care of his old age.

And if it weren't for the identity of the royal in-laws, I am afraid that he would not have sat in the position of the head of the household early.

After Yang Chongguang thought about it, everything was based on his daughter's situation in the East Palace, but the staff next to him was finally His Royal Highness the Prince, especially the Zhang Song who was sitting next to him, he had already seen the prince's thoughts, and immediately opened his mouth to propose: "That merchant girl Mu is still young, but she has achieved a little success in business methods, I am afraid that in time, there will be a great inheritance of her mother's style, according to what you can see, it is better for His Royal Highness the Prince to take this woman into his pocket, I believe that with the heroic appearance and identity of His Royal Highness the Prince, it will be able to make the daughter of the Mu family fall in love with you, when the time comes... …。 ”

Zhang Song smiled a little frivolously, but his words were originally what the prince thought, and when he said it through his mouth at this time, it was in the prince's heart.

The prince glanced at Zhang Song approvingly, and sure enough, it was wise to draw this person to his side at the beginning, and it has always been in line with his own intentions for so many years.

Yang Chongguang saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Zhang Song were very preoccupied, and he was a little absent-minded about the next arrangements for the prince, and he only thought about his daughter's affairs.

He only knew that if he really let the prince win over the Mu family by marriage, his daughter's status in the prince's mansion would be compared to him, the daughter of the household Shangshu, the Mu family, which was like a mountain of gold and silver, would be a little useless for the prince who was in urgent need of silver and silver to build momentum.

When the discussion was over, he returned home and thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that it was necessary to inform his daughter of His Royal Highness the Prince's decision.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, he hurriedly ordered someone to call his wife, Wang, who was the mother of the Yang Mansion and the biological mother of the crown princess Yang Shan.

After the Wang family came over, he sent the Wang family to find a random reason to send a greeting post to the crown princess, the princess has lived in the East Palace for a long time, there is no major matter, it is difficult for people next to him to enter the palace to meet, even if the mother sent a post, it took a lot of twists and turns, and when the Wang family entered the palace to see the princess, it was already three days later.

Yang Chongguang was inconvenient to enter and leave the back house of the prince's mansion, so before the Wang family entered the palace, he informed the prince of his plan to the Wang family, and the Wang family was partial to the youngest daughter Yang Shan.

"At the beginning, thanks to the emperor's family style of our Yang family, he specially ordered to marry the prince, Shan'er originally liked His Royal Highness the prince, I should still think about this family business, and it is also my daughter's wish, but where do you know, this marriage is less than three years, you look at His Royal Highness the prince, to be a side concubine, there is a concubine to lead the door, and where to put our Shan'er in mind! Now it's good, Shan'er is finally pregnant again, but he is thinking about the little girl of the Mu family, in my opinion, instead of letting his daughter worry about this kind of thing, it is better for you, the father, to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince break this thought!"

The Wang family was dissatisfied in his heart, and his tone of voice was indignant, if it was on weekdays, Yang Chongguang would have scolded him back, where could he hear her talking about the prince so unscrupulously.

But now he is preoccupied, thinking about this matter, the prince's attitude is obviously lukewarm to him, the father-in-law, but because of the Mu family's affairs, he happily favors that Zhang Song, and his heart is very flustered, lest His Royal Highness the prince deliberately exclude him in this matter because of his identity as the father of the crown princess.

And he knows this kind of thing, there are one and there are two, today His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left him out in the cold because of the Mu family's affairs, and tomorrow there will be a second and third Mu family, as long as he is the father of the crown princess, he will still be left out in the cold.

At this time, his words to the Wang family were like the wind blowing in his ears, and he didn't have to hear them at all.
