Chunlai pinched her: “What are you doing here? Not feeding the birds, not sweeping the floor, just running here to gossip. You really deserve a beating.”

Xiachu stuck out her tongue and ran away.

Xiachu handed the teacup to Jiang Ning and said softly, “Miss, don’t listen to that girl’s nonsense, she doesn’t know what she’s talking about.”

Jiang Ning laughed, “I know.”

She didn’t really care much.

To be alive was the best outcome. Lingnan was not a treacherous place, and as long as one was capable, they could survive there.

However, it would be difficult to return.

On the day Wenren Zong was exiled, another Imperial Edict was sent to Prince Huai’s Mansion, making Prince Huai the Crown Prince, and selecting a date to move into the East Palace.

This was the truly earth-shattering event.

Among the four princes, aside from the early deceased Eldest Prince, Wei Wang was unworthy and not counted. Chen Wang, the second prince; Huai Wang, the third prince; and Yu Wang, the fifth prince, had always been openly and secretly fighting for the throne, struggling to the death.

Finally, Chen Wang died, and Yu Wang lost.

Prince Huai succeeded and became the Crown Prince of the Great Sheng Dynasty.

This outcome was long-anticipated within the Imperial Court and was accepted relatively calmly, but the common people were shocked.

The common people didn’t understand these undercurrents of court politics. They only knew that Prince Yu was a young and handsome man, someone who could rival Song Yu and Pan An.

What about Prince Huai?

He was short and unattractive.

In terms of background, Prince Yu’s mother was a noble concubine while Prince Huai’s mother was only Concubine Xian.

In terms of ability, Prince Yu had been in charge of the Ministry of Personnel for years, implementing a transparent administration with very few corruption cases. On the other hand, the Ministry of Justice under Prince Huai repeatedly reported cases of torture leading to death.

Whether it was upbringing, appearance, or ability, Prince Huai and Prince Yu were incomparable.

In the minds of most ordinary people, Prince Yu was the Crown Prince in all but name.

But now it was Prince Huai who ascended the throne.

This outcome was difficult to accept.

Even the wives and maids in the Prime Minister’s Mansion were disappointed and saddened, even crying together in protest for Prince Yu.

When discovered by Aunt Liu, they were given a beating with wooden planks and sent away.

Such a group of maids, daring to discuss court politics, it would be unbearable if the news spread.

Others would think that the Prime Minister’s family didn’t care about the royal family.

However, there was some good news.

An Imperial Edict also came to the Prime Minister’s Mansion, reinstating Jiang Ning as Princess Consort of Yu, and granting Wenzan the title of Crown Prince, and Lingzi the title of Princess Anding.

This edict was both unexpected and expected.

The main thing was about granting Jiang Ning the title of Princess Consort of Yu.

For the children, as the eldest son and daughter of Prince Yu, it was expected they would become Crown Prince and Princess.

But what was the deal with Jiang Ning’s title as Princess Consort of Yu?

The Emperor’s edict of divorce was not even half a year ago, and now she was reinstated as the Princess Consort.

The Emperor’s fickleness was too great.

Weren’t they afraid of Lin Zizi returning to the palace?

There were many speculations outside.

The Jiang family, however, remained calm.

Jiang Ruobai and Lin Zizi, now a married couple, didn’t say a word.

In fact, they had anticipated this day ever since Prince Yu gave up rescuing the Emperor and instead came to save the Jiang family. This not only showed how much Prince Yu cared for Jiang Ning.

For him to be able to give up the throne, he was more than just caring.

Even Lin Zizi changed her opinion of Prince Yu and accepted him as her son-in-law from the bottom of her heart.

But why did the Emperor let her go back so soon?

Jiang Ruobai and his wife called Jiang Ning to them, and she admitted that she had used the lives of Wenren Family’s women to achieve this result.

Jiang Ruobai sneered, “Why don’t I believe you?”

“Of course, it’s not just that..”
