After I died, the scumbag prince cried down the city wall

Chapter 140 Respect

"The Sixth Prince now feels deeply regretful and realizes his own misconduct. However, he has not yet grasped the 'opportunity' mentioned by Miss Cui."

Wen Yinyang's eyes were sincere, and Cui Rongrong responded with a gentle smile, "I came to visit you late at night just for this matter."

"In the past few days, I have been in the Zhao Mansion, helping Miss Zhao to take care of her body. It was not until I entered the palace today that I learned that the Queen Mother had intervened in state affairs again and formed a standoff with the Emperor in the Golden Palace. As you can imagine, the Emperor must be in a very heavy mood." There was a hint of worry in Cui Rong's words.

Wen Yinyang nodded frankly, "Indeed, the Queen Mother's strong return and more decisive style of action than before, the Emperor is inevitably dissatisfied. However, it is precisely because of the Queen Mother's presence that the order of the court seems to be more stable, and her ability to govern the country is evident."

Cui Rong opened her red lips slightly, with a smile that carried some deep meaning, "This is only calm on the surface. At present, there has not been any fundamental disagreement between the Emperor and the Queen Mother, so they can naturally live in peace. But once the balance of power is unbalanced, conflicts and contradictions will eventually surface."

"At that time, every court official will have to decide which side to take. The Sixth Prince's strategy should be to judge the situation and maintain a good relationship with the Emperor while not offending the Queen Mother."

Wen Yinyang frowned, obviously feeling embarrassed about this, "It is not easy to find a balance between the emperor and the queen mother, not offending either side, but also trying to please both sides."

Cui Rongrong chuckled, "In this world, apart from rejuvenation and resurrection, what else can be called absolutely impossible? As long as the method is appropriate, the Sixth Prince only needs to follow the golden mean, neither showing off his edge nor retreating too much."

Facing Wen Yinyang's confusion, Cui Rong patiently explained, "At present, the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince both seem a little impatient. Whoever can remain calm will be able to take the initiative. The Crown Prince is suspicious. If he sees that the Sixth Prince is calm in the face of danger, he will definitely become suspicious and trouble himself."

"If the prince makes a mistake due to impatience, Master Wen, how do you think the emperor and the queen mother will react?" There was a mystery in her words.

Wen Yinyang suddenly realized, "The future monarch must have a calm quality, otherwise how can he govern the country and stabilize the world?"

Cui Rongrong's lips curved into a satisfied arc, "It seems that Master Wen has understood. Then, I won't bother you any more."

She stood up and was about to leave, her figure light and graceful.

However, Wen Yinyang's voice sounded behind him, with a hint of reluctance, "Ms. Cui, I know you have a comprehensive plan in mind, so I can't say more. But please remember, if you need anything, just tell me, I am willing to go through fire and water for you, without hesitation."

Cui Rongrong paused, turned her head and looked at Wen Yinyang, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, "I appreciate Mr. Wen's kindness, but I will be very busy during this period, so you should also rest early."

As her figure gradually blended into the night, Wen Yinyang stood alone outside the study door, staring in the direction where she disappeared, until a gust of cold wind blew on his face, bringing his thoughts back to reality, and he slowly closed the door.

The next morning, the sunlight shone through the window lattice and sprinkled into the tidy house.

Cui Rongrong tidied her clothes and had breakfast with her sister Cui Yunhe.

Cui Yunhe looked at her sister, her eyes full of emotion, "Although I live in the same courtyard with my sister, she always goes out early and comes back late. It feels like it's been a long time since we had such a leisurely breakfast together."

"Yes, moments like this are so rare. I can hardly remember the last time I had this experience." Cui Rongrong smiled with affection. She reached out and pinched her sister's round cheek, her eyes full of love.

"It seems that you eat a lot of snacks when I'm not at home. Why don't you control yourself? I asked Xifeng to take care of you, but I didn't expect that I still can't control your little mouth." She pretended to be serious, but couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.

Cui Yunhe waved her hands in defense, "Sister, don't blame Sister Xifeng. I was the one who pestered her to buy it for me! Besides, I took the medicine obediently. Since I am relatively obedient, please let Sister Xifeng go."

She looked at Cui Rongrong innocently, and that look made Cui Rongrong couldn't help laughing out loud, "Okay, I was just teasing you. I've been busy with palace affairs during this period and haven't been able to spend time with you. Xifeng is very careful in her work, and I feel at ease with her around."

The sisters' laughter echoed in the house, warm and harmonious.

At this moment, Cui Min pushed the door open and walked in, his face filled with joy. "Rongrong, Xue, what are you talking about so happily? Let your father share this happiness?"

Cui Rongrong looked at her father, her eyes glittering with cunning, "Father can't hide his smile at all, he must have some good news to tell us, so we can also be happy."

Cui Min laughed heartily, "Rong Rong is really smart. She saw through my thoughts at a glance."

"Good news has come from the front. Lieutenant General Xu won a great victory on the border. He not only defeated the enemy, but also brought back prisoners and spoils. He is expected to return triumphantly soon!"

Cui Rongrong's eyes flashed with surprise, "Lieutenant General Xu has only been at the border for less than a month, and he has achieved such a brilliant record. It is really admirable! No wonder my father is so happy."

Cui Min's face flashed with emotion, "Ever since Vice General Xu led the army to the battle, my heart has been hanging. Now that I know they have returned safely, the stone in my heart has finally fallen."

"This morning, the Emperor and the Queen Mother were delighted to hear the news of the victory. They decided to hold a banquet to celebrate the victory and reward those brave soldiers generously after Deputy General Xu and his men return."

Cui Rong smiled and responded in a clear and pleasant voice: "This is indeed the honor they deserve. When Deputy General Xu and the soldiers return, father will also need to prepare a generous gift to show respect for their bravery."

As soon as she finished speaking, a barely perceptible worry flashed in her eyes.

A few days later, in the dust, Zhang Wen led his soldiers on their journey home.

On both sides of the streets of the capital, people gathered spontaneously, holding flowers and waving ribbons. Cheers and applause intertwined together, and the whole capital was boiling with excitement because of their return.

Cui Rongrong and her father Cui Min stood side by side at the foot of the city gate, watching the team that had gone through storms but remained determined slowly approaching.

When Cui Min saw that Zhang Wen and his group were all safe and sound, his eyes couldn't help but become moist.

Zhang Wen rode his warhorse to the two men, firmly grasped the reins, then nimbly dismounted and knelt on one knee. His dusty armor shone with a different kind of brilliance in the sun. He said firmly, "I have fulfilled the mission entrusted by the emperor and the general. The border is peaceful, and we soldiers are proud of this."

Cui Min hurried forward and helped Zhang Wen up with both hands, his eyes full of praise: "I, Cui Min, have witnessed the bravery of Deputy General Xu with my own eyes, so there is no need to say more! Get up quickly, the emperor is looking forward to your report."
