ause trouble for her son. Hearing this, she immediately ordered the servants, "Tie up the young master and prevent him from causing any further commotion. Oh my dear grandson, you are truly handsome!"...Gu Qian had bullied both the young master and young lady of the Wang family within a single day, and publicly humiliated the Wang Xiang (Prime Minister). This matter spread like wind to those who needed to know.

Although the Empress was somewhat spoiled, she treated the ministers and their families well on the surface. Everyone thought this was a signal from the Empress that she was unhappy with the prime minister and intended to take action against his family.

The Prime Minister also thinks so.

So when the Third Princess, Yang Mingzhu, came looking for him, he went to meet her without a second thought.

"Prime Minister Wang, please help me," Yang Mingzhu bowed.

"Your Highness, you mustn't. How can you show such great respect to an old servant like me" Wang Chengxiang and Yang Mingzhu bowed deeply. After finishing their bows, they put on a facade of humility and stepped forward to offer Wang Xian a helping hand.

“As the prime minister, Wang is the pillar of the country. This is as it should be.” Yang Mingzhu didn’t mind his arrogance because she had been reborn and knew Wang the Prime Minister's lifespan wouldn't last much longer, no matter how arrogant he was.

Wang Cengxiang gestured for Yang Mingzhu to take a seat and sighed, “Oh, Your Highness is overpraising me. I wonder what brings you to see this old minister”

Yang Mingzhu directly said: "Please, Wang Cheng, lend a hand and help me secure the position of Crown Princess!"

The King's Minister's face twitched slightly. He said, "Your Highness, this is a most treasonous act..."

"Wang Xiang, I don't desire the position of Imperial Princess. But I cannot bear to see Anlan suffer further humiliation."

The Grand Advisor Wang, with a face full of emotion, said: "Your Highness is truly sincere to Anlan. This old minister feels ashamed; at this age, I can't even protect my own family."

"Prime Minister Wang, please do not say such things. Your contributions to the court and the people are well-known and will never be forgotten!"

"Your Highness, this old minister is ashamed!"

Yang Mingzhu and Wang Xiang, an elder and a younger, started a mode of business boasting, the two chatted happily and soon reached an alliance.

Yang Mingzhu has just been reborn and currently only wants to seize the position of the eldest princess. She doesn't intend to harm the Empress yet, and she didn't plan to conspire with Wang Shangshu so soon. Unexpectedly, Gu Qian gave her a helping hand today.

This mission was successful, Yang Mingzhu happily returned to the palace.

Gu Qian listened to the message from below and secretly smiled.

Yang Mingzhu was being too hasty. The Empress should now know she had gone to the Wang family, and with her having put eye drops in earlier today, the Empress would naturally be wary of her daughter.

Gu Qian wasn't in a hurry. He slept soundly and peacefully. After waking up, he went to court.

Being a princess isn't easy either. She has to go to court early in the morning, after which she attends cultural classes, and after that, she trains in martial arts... It's even more terrifying than nine years of compulsory education.

Gu Qian naturally didn't understand court affairs. Attending court was just standing there and yawning. This appearance naturally made the officials unhappy.

When the meeting came to an end, Wang Cheng, a subordinate official, jumped out and scolded: “Your Highness, as a princess, how can you fall asleep in court!”

Gu glanced at the official and ignored him.

She won't play their political games. It's tiring, pointless, and she doesn't like losing out.

Gu Qian stood directly in line, standing in the center of the court, and looked at the Empress and said: "Mother Empress, this son heard that a locust plague arose in the southwest. Last night I pondered over a plan, which may be able to solve the disaster."

The Empress came interested, and with a wave of her hand toward the official who was still about to speak, she said, “You step back first, and listen to Tai Nü say what solution there is. You guys have been bickering about this locust plague day after day, but none of you have come up with any good solutions. If you keep arguing, get out!”

That official stammered and retreated, then Gu Qian spoke up: “Let the local people raise ducks, a large number of them. Within a month, the locust plague will surely disappear!”
