The Legend of the Resourceful Princess

It could be said that the ministers were all stunned by the emperor's summons. Seeing that they could leave safely, they heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly left. After everyone had left, there was only the crown prince and the emperor left in the huge royal study.

"Father, I will also take my leave." As Feng Qing spoke, he also prepared to leave.

"Qing'er, who did this?" The Emperor looked at Feng Qing and inquired in a somewhat complicated manner. Although he also wanted to believe that Feng Qing had destroyed Peony City due to his kindness, his son was not the type of person who had a kind heart.

Thus, looking at Feng Qing, the Emperor finally asked.

When Feng Qing heard this, his gaze was indifferent. He looked at the emperor and said, "This son did it." royal father, there is no need to ask anymore. If this son wants to enter the picture, then naturally, I have to make royal father have a whole new level of respect for this son. " Feng Qing said.

In fact, that was indeed the case. He was going to Peony City for the sake of the slave market.

When the Emperor heard this, he was slightly gratified, but even more so, he was suspicious.

"This son shall take his leave. I will not enter the palace for the next few days. The day of Mother's death is nearing." After Feng Qing finished speaking, he left the royal study. The Emperor's expression couldn't be considered to be pretty, as he withdrew a painting from a corner of the study.

After opening it, it showed a very beautiful woman. The woman's appearance was very exquisite, but his eyes seemed to have seen through the vicissitudes of life. Compared to Feng Qing's coldness, she seemed to be on an even higher level.

The emperor's gaze was filled with unprecedented gentleness. He sighed with some sadness. "Am I …" Is it really wrong? "

In the capital city, the most interesting thing was the Peony City.

The next morning, as soon as Mu Ru Yue woke up, she heard the sound of the gongs and drums outside. It was so noisy that people were unable to calm down and they felt as if their heads were about to explode.

After receiving the butterfly flower from the butler and letting Yun'er put it away, Mu Ru Yue asked, "What happened outside?"

"In reply to the Princess, it was the Imperial Court that issued the plan for dealing with Peony City. The world was being announced, which was why things were like this. Some of the citizens started to beat the gongs and drums because they were happy. " the butler said.

Announce the plan to deal with Peony City?

Mu Ru Yue couldn't help but smile. "They are really quick."

"Actually, this is no longer considered fast. If it were any other matter, the Imperial Court would have taken care of it immediately. However, this time, they were waiting for the Crown Prince to come back. Because this was too big of a matter, the Third Marquis once again insisted on investigating it thoroughly.

Only then did it fall to today. Now that there is a result, it can be said that we have an explanation for the citizens of Peony City in the coming month. "

The steward sighed with emotion.

Mu Ru Yue nodded to express her understanding. She then asked, "Speaking of which, how do you plan to deal with this Peony City?"

"It was the Third Prince who proposed this. He said that the City Lord of Peony City could not be changed, and that the taxes within the city should be reduced by three years. During these three years, Peony City no longer needed to pay taxes to the Imperial Family. When the citizens of the city traveled in and out of the city, as long as they had the Token of Peony City, they would also give a certain amount of convenience.

When the slaves returned to their normal lives, they had to have some form of protection, and the houses had to be sure that there were no problems. It can be said that in less than two years, this Peony City will be even more prosperous than it was a few years ago. "

When the butler said this, Mu Ru Yue was shocked. He didn't expect that the matter in Peony City would be resolved in such a way. Due to the indulgence of the royal family, Peony City would surely prosper even more in the future.

As for Qing Xun, he would remain as the City Lord of Peony City. It looked like everything was going according to his plan. Thinking about that, Mu Ru Yue frowned. Even though he knew from the beginning that Qing Xun wouldn't suffer any losses, he would still feel unhappy at this moment.

They were working for Qing Xun. It was used cleanly. However, he couldn't say anything. After all, they were the ones who wanted to save the slaves.

As she thought about this, Mu Ru Yue took a bite out of her pastries.

That fierce look had given the steward a fright. Then, the butler hesitated a little and said, "Princess, the Mu Rong family's second young miss has been waiting for you outside our house for a long time. She said she wants to see you."

"Cough!" Mu Ru Yue couldn't help but cough as she looked at the butler. "Who are you talking about?"

"Second Miss Mu Rong."

Murong Xi?

Mu Ru Yue instantly felt a headache coming on. "Did she say what it was?"

"I didn't say that, but her carriage has been right in front of the door. It's as if she isn't going to leave if you don't see her." The butler said with some distress.

"Then let her wait there. My grandma isn't in the mood to see her right now, so I'll have to trouble her." After finishing her breakfast, Mu Ru Yue stood up and headed out of the courtyard. The steward thought that Mu Rong Yue was planning to go see the Mu Rong family's second young miss. He thought to himself, Finally, I don't have to be blocked at the door.

However, she hadn't been happy for long before she saw her princess consort walk towards the back door of the mansion.

"That... "Esteemed wangfei, this old servant dares to ask, what do you intend to do?" the butler asked in embarrassment. When Murong Yue heard this, she smiled innocently. "We'll leave through the back door. As for Murong Xi, let her wait there. It's not going to be good for her to look for me. I still have something important to do today. "

After Mu Ru Yue finished speaking, she pushed open the back door of the manor. The butler looked at Mu Ru Yue's back in despair and could only sigh. Then he went to take charge of the household's affairs.

After exiting the Royal Mansion, Murong Yue deliberately took a detour until she arrived at the main street of the Imperial City. At this moment, the streets were decorated with lanterns and decorations, and even though it was daytime, it was still bustling with activity.

From this, it could be seen how much support these people had for the decisions they would have to make.

However, what was truly inconceivable to Mu Ru Yue was that the Third Marquis actually brought this up first. Normally, if Feng Qing did such a big thing in Peony City, wouldn't it be Feng Qing as the master?

In the end, Feng Qing's contribution had been completely covered up.

It was truly unbelievable. At the same time, Mu Ru Yue also realized that this Third Marquis was definitely not a simple character. To be able to snatch the contribution from Feng Qing, it was already quite impressive.

If it were any other person, they would probably be condemned by the Emperor.

However, this wasn't something she needed to worry about. After Mu Ru Yue left the Wang Residence and headed to the main street, she headed straight for Mu Yun Tower.

Today, the Mu Yun Tower was even more crowded. With great difficulty, Mu Ru Yue squeezed through the crowd and entered the Mu Yun Tower before heading to the second floor. There were actually a lot more people on the second floor now. These people felt a sense of novelty when they saw that Mu Ru Yue had come up as well.

Just as Mu Ru Yue was about to head up to the third floor to look for Wu You, she saw a familiar figure stopping her.

Mu Ru Yue frowned and looked up. She was instantly speechless.

"Oh, Seventh Sister-in-law, what a coincidence." The Fifth Prince was smiling like a fox while waving his fan. In his arms, he was holding a girl. The woman's face was expressionless. When she saw Mu Ru Yue, it was a little warped, but she quickly regained her composure.

Mu Ru Yue also knew this woman. She was Nangong Zi Yuan, whom she had met before in the palace.

Back then … The Empress greatly valued this Lady Nangong and seemed to have the intention of making her the Crown Prince's consort. Furthermore, she had also once expressed her love and admiration for the Crown Prince. However, what made people at a loss of whether to laugh or cry was that the person who would end up being the Crown Prince's consort was Murong Xi.

She was actually going to marry the Fifth Prince.

In the capital, if it was someone that Mu Ru Yue didn't want to see the most, it would definitely be the Fifth Prince.

Looking at him, Mu Ru Yue bit the bullet and said with a smile, "Indeed, it has been a long time since we last met. I don't know why the Fifth Marquis stopped me."

The Fifth Prince thought for a moment and smiled mysteriously. "I heard Seventh Sister-in-Law had come back and wanted to congratulate you. I heard that Seventh Sister-in-Law liked to come to the Mu Yun Tower, so I was waiting for you here. I wonder if Seventh Sister-in-Law would like to honor you?"

Hehe! Can I say no?

Mu Ru Yue secretly cursed in her heart, but Mu Ru Yue smiled as she looked at the Fifth Prince. "I definitely won't reject the Fifth Prince's request."

"In that case, This King will be at ease." The Fifth Prince's smile was more like that of a fox's.

Mu Ru Yue categorized the Fifth Master's sudden appearance towards her as requiring her to pay more attention to this matter. But he wouldn't do anything that would harm her face to face, would he? Thinking about this, Mu Ru Yue became calmer. She looked at the Fifth Prince and asked, "Where does the Fifth Prince plan to take me?"

Mu Ru Yue asked.
