Chapter 262 Unpopularity
Haoyue is more convenient than her. He can tell her useful information directly while watching.
"Your Highness, Commander Lei reported that a group of assassins attempted to sneak in yesterday, but were discovered and committed suicide by taking poison on the spot. No one was able to get any information from them."
Bei Jingchu: "......Okay."
"Your Highness, Princess Xianning has presented you with two fine greyhounds to accompany you on your autumn hunt."
It was a very ordinary gift. Bei Jingchu said "hmm" and continued to work for Aye.
I had only read two books when a familiar name popped up again.
Princess Xianning proposed to build a canal to increase transportation capacity and alleviate the pressure of food supply and demand in the capital.
After the reform, princesses were allowed to participate in politics. This aunt was appointed to a position and was very active in the court.
So you see, there is no shortage of talent in such a big country like Yue Dynasty, it’s just that many people are forced to stay at home.
After an unknown amount of time, the little prince finally finished taking on the tasks that did not belong to her.
Just as she stretched and prepared to take a rest, the sound of fighting was heard outside.
Bei Jingchu became alert. After a while, the noise stopped and Lei Nian'er's voice came from outside the door: "I'm sorry to have frightened Your Highness. The assassin has been killed."
"I kept two people alive and found out that they were remnants of the Qi clan."
Bei Jingchu vaguely remembered that it was a corrupt family she had killed.
But it doesn't matter. Ever since he did that offending job, in addition to his previous bad reputation, various assassination attempts have followed one after another, happening every few days.
But she had lived in the inner palace before, so the security was tighter, and the assassins were mixed up with those who tried to kill the emperor, so she didn't know who was targeting her.
After moving to the East Palace, Bei Jingchu had a clear understanding of her unpopularity.
This was the first time that the assassination attempt came to her. She usually only knew about it when the memorial was presented to her.
She touched her nose speechlessly and let Lei Nian'er go to receive the reward.
The day of autumn hunting soon arrived, and Bei Jingchu was ready to go.
Ever since he was named the crown prince, Bei Jingchu has been either in the study or the imperial study all day long, and he hasn't had a chance to get some fresh air for a long time.
I am excited to take advantage of this autumn hunting and prepare to show my skills.
The royal autumn hunt was naturally grand. When they arrived at the hunting ground, Aye gave his leadership speech in a long-winded manner.
Bei Jingchu felt that her smiling face was about to become stiff.
She went back to the tent to change into riding clothes, and when she went out she ran into Princess Xianning.
"Prince."
Bei Jingchu called out, "Auntie."
She had also changed into her riding clothes, and as she walked over, her steps were brisk and heroic.
She smiled and said, "The autumn hunt is called hunting, but it is actually a military training exercise."
"Your Highness, you must perform well and let those who are dissatisfied see the ability of our Great Yue Crown Prince."
Bei Jingchu thanked him: "Thank you for your good words."
"However, Prince, be careful when hunting and don't let your horse run too fast."
"I don't know if you have heard that my brother was the candidate for crown prince that the emperor was most satisfied with. The imperial edict has been drafted and is waiting to be issued."
"He injured one of his eyes while hunting, and became disabled. He missed the chance to become the crown prince, and his second brother took the throne instead."
Of course Bei Jingchu had heard of it. That girl Haoyue had collected all the gossips about the Yue Dynasty over the past fifty years.
Princess Xianning changed the subject: "But it doesn't seem to matter who becomes the crown prince. After all, the winner now is Your Majesty. Who still remembers those two?"
Saying this in front of Bei Jingchu seemed a bit offensive.
After all, this means that the prince will also be a loser.
She suppressed her displeasure for a moment, hoping that she was just overthinking it.
After all, her sons are all under her command, so maybe her aunt is reminding her not to get carried away.
Fortunately, Princess Xianning seemed to realize that she had made a mistake in her words and said, "I am reminding the prince to be careful."
"Thank you for the reminder, I will be careful."
