"how?"

Wu Chongxun left the Duke's Mansion and went straight to the palace. Before he could go to the emperor to report his life, he was stopped by Princess Anle and urgently asked him about the result.

Wu Chongxun immediately said, "When you go back to your highness, I see Uncle Cong is still a little moved, but he has always been timid and lacks the ability to make decisions, so I am afraid hesitating."

"Tsk! I'm almost dead and still so unhappy? How can such indecisiveness succeed?"

Princess Anle was a little disgusted: "If this was told to Aunt Taiping, it would definitely not be like this."

Wu Chongxun hesitated for a moment and suggested, "Then... why don't the princess ask the princess to discuss it?"

Princess Anle glanced at him and said, "If you can make an appointment, why do you need to look for Duke Ding first? My mother had tactfully tried it before, but my aunt kept silent and said repeatedly that she wanted to prepare for the marriage for her cousin Chongyin, and seemed to have no intention of participating in the government."

Wu Chongxun said in surprise: "I have no intention of participating in the government affairs?! I only see the scholars who are enrolled in the eldest princess's school, and no one in Chang'an City will believe this. Can you avoid that with the power of the eldest princess?"

Princess Anle's face was full of gloom. She glanced at Wu Chongxun, and immediately stopped feeling obediently. She said, "The prince-in-law, please go to the father's place to report first. I will go to my mother's harem to sit in my mother's harem."

"Here, the princess walks slowly, take care of herself."

Wu Chongxun responded diligently, Princess Anle snorted, and left with a swing of her sleeve. Wu Chongxun quietly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her leaving. After standing for a while, she turned around and went to the Emperor's Palace to report.

In the princess's mansion, Princess Taiping was talking about Xue Chongyin's marriage with the house order and the housekeeper. The concierge came to report it and the prince-in-law Wu Youji asked for a meeting.

Princess Taiping raised her eyebrows slightly, meaning unknown, waved her hand slightly, and the housekeeper retreated together. After a while, Wu Youji walked in under the guidance of the concierge and bowed slightly: "Your Highness."

Princess Taiping replied with a bow and said, "Please sit down, come and pour tea."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Wu Youji thanked him with his fists, sat down on the couch and fell silent, and quietly savored the tea soup brought by the maid. He didn't speak, but Princess Taiping was not in a hurry and sat with him slowly.

"The eldest princess."

After sitting quietly for a while, Wu Youji finally spoke and called out. Princess Taiping slowly said: "What do you want to say to the prince consort? Please say it."

Wu Youji nodded slightly, and turned his heart a few times before saying that, before saying, "Yesterday, Your Majesty issued a book to enact me as King Ding. Have you heard of it?"

Princess Taiping nodded: "I heard that, but why did I hear that I was resigned by the prince consort?"

Wu Youji looked up at her and said, "What does the princess think nowadays?"

Princess Taiping was unwilling to ask this, and she couldn't help but show a bit of surprise on her face. Seeing this, Wu Youji's mouth felt bitter and said, "No matter what, the husband and wife will be together, and they will share honor and disgrace. Some things... they can't ignore the princess's intentions."

Princess Taiping paused, with a hint of condensation in her eyes, and then quickly disappeared, saying, "Thank you for your concern, but look at the intention of the prince consort, it seems that she was intentional?"

Wu Youji said: "The people sent to the palace to announce the imperial edict are Chongxun. Chongxun asked for safety and safety of the whole clan. I... really don't want to refuse, so I was a little shaken."

Princess Taiping was surprised: "The safety of the whole clan? Which clan? Wu clan?"

Wu Youji nodded: "That's right."

"Oh……"

Princess Taiping sneered, with a disdainful look on her face, and she smiled: "I don't know that the prince-consort has such kindness! I don't know what great crime Wu has committed, and he is going to implicate the whole clan? Didn't the Wu family have already separated? Even if it is a sin of unforgivable sin, it will never kill the whole clan of the Wu family, and it will not be able to kill the whole clan of the Wu family! What is Chongxun? When did he become the leader of the Wu family? Otherwise, how could he be qualified to entrust the whole clan of the whole clan?"

Wu Youji raised his head with a low look, looked at Princess Taiping, and asked, "What does the eldest princess mean?"

Princess Taiping smiled again, but the smile did not come to her eyes. She said coldly: "When did the prince consort do things in the past, I have ever asked me about my palace? Looking at it, the prince consort was not a confused person in the past, so why did I say these confused words here today? Whatever the prince consort wants is, there is no need to ask me!"

Wu Youji couldn't help but look a little angry, staring at Princess Taiping's face, and asked: "I was kind, why is the eldest princess like this? Is there no intention of caring about the children in my heart? There is nothing at all?"

Princess Taiping sneered: "Bold! What is the identity of the prince-consort asking me?"

Wu Youji paused, and looked at Princess Taiping with a look of shrillness. Her white face turned red with anger. She glared at Princess Taiping angrily. Seeing her cold expression and unmoved look, she said angrily: "Princess really wants to be so heartless?"

Princess Taiping said calmly: "It is not because the prince consort has known Taiping today, why do you ask this? The collapse of the mother emperor does not mean anything. I call you a prince consort, which is not something that makes you have unreasonable thoughts. I hope the prince consort will keep your duty as always!"

"you!"

Wu Youji was furious: "Since you don't care about the children... it's just that I came here wrong today, so I'll say goodbye."

"The prince-consort walked slowly and refused to send him off. He asked his family to come and see him off on behalf of our palace."

“No need!”

Wu Youji left with her sleeves. Princess Taiping sat silently without saying anything, without any intention of trying to keep her. Madam Zhang looked at her carefully, but did not dare to persuade her, and only sighed quietly in her heart.

On the second day, Wu Youji submitted a memorial to resign the current imperial decree and refused to accept the title of King Ding, and only took the position of King Ding. However, although Wu Youji refused the title of King Ding, the position of Situ could not be rejected. He was one of the three Dukes of the court and was in court every day. Although he had never set out a clear confrontation with the Five Kings, the matters that were beneficial to the country and the people could be kept upright, whether it was the memorial of the Five Kings or the current resolution. For a time, there were quite some praises inside and outside the court. It was said that the Wu clan was not entirely a rude person, but also someone who understood it.

Compared with Wu Youji's cautious self-restraint, Princess Taiping lived more quietly. After the national mourning period, after the marriage of her eldest son, she did not participate in the government too much. She only focused on hiding behind the scenes and devoted herself to the future of her disciples, which made the people who submitted to her disciples much more loyal. Even if there were those who wanted to use her power as an advancement, they would have to be courteous when they thought about her kindness.

The five kings were in the court. The four kings of Zhang Jianzhi, Yuan Shuji, Cui Xuanwei, and Huan Yanfan all had some virtues. Although they were of high status and powerful, they were still able to keep their duties as ministers. Although Jinghui had the intention to take power, under the suppression of the other four, they could not cause too much storm for a while.

Seeing this, Li Xian was afraid, but he did not dare to entrust the safety of the palace ban to foreign ministers. He had to pinch his nose and recognize that the Prime Minister Li Dan was in charge of the imperial guards of the Southern Ya and did not withdraw it. In addition to Li Xian's unhappy behavior as the emperor, the court maintained this situation for a while. After occasional twists and turns and open and secret struggles, it maintained a strange balance and maintained it.
