Li Chengze stayed at Qinghui Garden that night and asked for water twice before he calmed down.

The next day, he looked at the prepared account books in his study and had some ideas in his mind.

At noon, the emperor summoned him to have a meal together. The emperor asked: "Who do you think is more suitable to guard Huihe?"

Li Chengze thought for a moment, "Father, I think it is most appropriate for General Li to go to Huihe to guard the city. He has many years of experience in guarding the city in Huihe, and he is in the prime of his life."

The emperor glanced at Li Chengze and saw his firm eyes and calm attitude. He couldn't help but praise him in his heart. The child had grown up and became more mature and objective.

"But he has a somewhat impulsive personality."

He didn't believe that the prince didn't know that General Li and the second son were very close.

"This is also the reason why I was a little hesitant before. I think it would be better to send two more generals to assist."

"Oh, who do you think is more suitable?"

"General Wang and General Ma, one of them is good at strategy and is known as a Confucian general; the other is brave and good at fighting, has strict discipline and loves his subordinates very much. Both generals are loyal people and come from first-class families. They know everything about Huihe.

The situation is also very familiar to me and I am not an outsider.”

Li Chengze explained the reasons.

The emperor nodded repeatedly. The arrangement was indeed very appropriate. General Wang had always supported the prince's orthodoxy. General Ma was his direct confidant. He had been from the prince all the way to the present. It goes without saying that he was loyal.

The two of them acted as each other's arms to monitor General Li, and also meant to assist in guarding. In this way, no one from the three parties could act recklessly, ensuring the security of the border to the greatest extent.

"Well, what you said is very good and you have considered it very comprehensively. When my son grows up, I will do as you say and give you a discount."

The emperor was very satisfied with his proposal, which was objective and comprehensive, without any selfish motives, and was entirely considered from the perspective of the border areas and the people of Dayong Dynasty.

"Yes, my son will obey his father's will."

Li Chengze was very happy and excited. Lan'er's suggestion was correct.

I went to Yongning Hall in the afternoon. It’s not good to keep the cold shoulder to the Crown Princess. She should be given the face she deserves, especially as she is newlywed.

The Crown Princess was very excited and her eyes were bright, "Your Highness, you can have lunch, I will have someone prepare some more meals."

"No need, I used it with my father."

Li Chengze sat there and took a breath.

"Your Highness, this is the new tea served this year. Please try my craftsmanship."

Zhou Ying served a cup of tea very confidently.

Li Chengze picked up the tea cup and took a sip. His face remained serious and cold, without any change.

Seeing that Zhou Ying had not given any comments for a long time, she could only stop talking about it and ignore it.

"Yesterday, the sisters came to pay their respects. I also said that we should take time out every month to get together. Sister Ding is very capable, so why not let her share some of the East Palace affairs with me."

"Think about it. There are so many things in the East Palace that you can't handle it alone. You really need someone to share it with you."

Li Chengze glanced at her and agreed without hesitation. You even offered me the ladder. If I don't climb up, I won't give you face.

Zhou Ying blinked and almost lost the expression on her face. I was just being polite, why did I just accept it!

Ding can take care of it all by herself, so why can’t I do it? I don’t need others to share the burden with me.

I wanted to refute, but I remembered what Nanny Qi said, don't reject His Highness's decision. He just wanted to think clearly when he spoke, and there was no point in rejecting it.

"yes."

She agreed with great frustration.

Li Chengze didn't care about that and rested after dinner. He didn't let Zhou Ying Cheng dote on him, so he had no interest in it.

I really wanted to give the Crown Princess a legitimate son as soon as possible, which would also be beneficial to me.

But now I think about it again, a legitimate son cannot determine the future of the East Palace. If I fall, my legitimate son will be in more danger. After thinking about it, I stop thinking about it and let nature take its course.

But Zhou Ying is very anxious. She wants to be the first to give birth to a legitimate son, but what will happen if the prince doesn't cooperate and she can't take the initiative?

I felt miserable, and then I realized that I had really offended the prince. This prince was not easy to talk to or fool.

"Master, are you angry with me? I know that sometimes I have a temper and go against your wishes. Can I apologize to you?"

"Beloved, you must understand your identity. You are a Crown Princess. Once you gain something, you must lose something. The same goes for orphans. Every woman in this harem represents the family and power behind it.

My father gave them to the orphans, that is, to give them to the orphans. I am also their husband, and I have the responsibility to protect them. I don’t want to see you using your status as a princess to bully and humiliate them. You have no qualifications, understand."

This is my last warning. I don’t ask for much help from you, but please don’t cause any trouble for me.

Zhou Ying only felt that her face was burning, as if someone had slapped her in the mouth several times, and she was very embarrassed. Fortunately, it was dark and she couldn't see.

"Yes, I have written it down."

"I don't want to repeat myself. I will give you the respect I deserve, but I also hope that you will always remember your identity."

Is it interesting to act like a little daughter all day long?

This is a bit biased. The guy from Qinghui Garden does a lot of acting like a coquettish boy and pretending to be crazy all day long.

"yes."

Zhou Ying's voice was slightly choked, he didn't care about himself, it was me who messed up everything.

"Go to sleep, I'm tired of being alone."

Zhou Ying turned over and cried silently, forcing herself to fall asleep, feeling sour and painful in her heart.

Li Chengze fell asleep quickly. He hoped that this conversation could make her understand her identity clearly, stop worrying about what she had and what she had, and take on the responsibilities of a princess. Otherwise, why would I marry you?

Do you want to play house for free?

The next morning, Li Chengze filled in the square and polished it before going to court.

Zhou Ying also woke up very early, her eyes were a little blue, she didn't sleep well all night, she was thinking about things.

In the afternoon of the same day, Chang Ji sent some account books.

"His Highness said that this is part of the account book of the East Palace, so you can familiarize yourself with it first. The other part has been handed over to the Ma family, the Qian family, and the Yu family to manage it respectively.

His Highness said that they are all officials' daughters and have learned it at home, so it shouldn't be a big problem if they are familiar with it, so let them help you share some of the work."

"Thank you, Your Highness. I understand. It's just that the Yu family has a low status. I thought it was Sister Ding who should help me."

Zhou Ying probed carefully.

"Ding Liangdi has resigned. She is impatient with these account books and likes medical books. She took the initiative to resign to His Highness, so the master will not force her."

Chang Ji completely followed Li Chengze's instructions and conveyed the message.

"I see."

Zhou Ying forced a smile, so she might as well let Ding manage her. At any rate, her family background is low and the threat is small, so I can still handle it. These family backgrounds are all very high, and it's hard to get along with any of them.

"Then the slave will retreat."
