Hui Niang is a businessman, and she does anything like doing business. She has to first determine whether to make a profit or lose money. What is the chance of making a profit? Is there any way to ensure stable returns?

Chen Xi himself is an official, and he is also the largest official in the two provinces, so he doesn't have to consider whether he can hold on. The two words of Guan are the two people, even if the civil power is great, it is not worth mentioning in front of him, the governor of the two provinces, because he has the court behind him, the title of righteousness, and the army is supported by him.

Chen Xi didn't have to think about whether the Song family dared to sting outsiders. If they dared to do this, it would mean that the Song family was about to be destroyed.

At this moment, the only thing Chen Xi needs to do is to make Hui Niang feel at ease. He suggested: "The matter of introducing the Song family to act as a shield can be carried out slowly. For the time being, I will focus on dealing with the rebellion of ethnic minorities in the western and southern parts of Huguang. You and Jin'er have to go to Huguang with me, and I will talk about this matter after I come back."

"If you bring the Song girl with you, you can cultivate her properly and teach her some business knowledge. In the future, you can use her as a link to contact the Song family, but don't be too concerned about her. After all, she is an outsider... She is still different from you and Jin'er!"

In Shen Xi's mind, Hui Niang always treats her family.

As for Li Jin, Chen Xi didn't know what he felt in his heart. He just felt that since he was around, he should treat him with courtesy. As for Li Jin's future marriage, or he would never be named or separated, it would take time to solve it. Chen Xi was not in a hurry to say that he would take the person into the mansion in a short time.

The current problem is that as long as Zhou is alive for one day, Hui Niang’s problem will not be solved.

Zhou would never accept Hui Niang as her daughter-in-law. In Zhou's heart, Hui Niang is the great benefactor of the Shen family and Chen Xi's aunt for the rest of her life.

Hui Niang cannot get into the Shen family. As Hui Niang’s good helper in her career and a good sister in life, Li Jin must be by her side at all times. This is the crux of the problem.

...

...

Chen Xi was preparing to go to war in Nanchang Prefecture, and on the other side, Zhu Houzhao finally returned to the capital city where he had been away for five months.

Zhu Houzhao thought he could sneak back to the palace without knowing it, but he thought too simply. This time he sneaked out of the palace quietly. At that time, he went there that day and returned the same day. His parents might not be able to notice it. This time he went there for several months and wanted to pretend that it was okay, which was obviously unlikely.

Although the palace gate was intensified, Zhu Houzhao still changed into eunuch clothes, used the eunuch's waist card to sneak into the palace and return to the familiar Xiefang Palace.

When they arrived at the land, the naughty child suddenly discovered that the group of palace maids and eunuchs who served him had all been replaced without exception, and even the eunuchs of the regular attendants were missing.

Zhu Houzhao was very puzzled: "What's going on? My father wouldn't take his anger on others because of my departure from the palace and kill all the eunuchs such as Zhang Yuan, right?"

Zhu Houzhao returned to her territory and immediately wanted to go back to the bedroom to change her clothes. A strange eunuch happened to come out of the palace and bumped into the naughty child head-on.

The eunuch saw that Zhu Houzhao was very unfamiliar with him, because he came to Xiefang Hall after the prince disappeared. He didn't know the prince's appearance at all. He just thought that Zhu Houzhao, who was wearing a small eunuch costume, was walking with him like him, and immediately shouted: "What are you doing here? The prince needs a slave. Eunuch Zhang has already ordered that there are one counts on the Xiefang Hall, and all of them must be transferred to Kunning Palace..."

Zhu Houzhao was confused when she heard this, her face was as scared as white as paper, and she said to herself: "It's bad. He said that the prince needs a slave. Could it be that after I left the capital, my father thought I was too naughty. Is it because he replaced me to be the prince?"

"Good, if I really lose the position of prince this time, how can I become the emperor in the future? How can I personally go to the imperial court with Mr. Chen?"

"But... it seems wrong. My father is the only son. Who will he make the crown prince? Could it be...my sister? I have never heard that the little princess can be the crown prince..."

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and was furious: "You guy, you are so scared, and you don't look at who I am. I am the prince of the current dynasty! You said, where is a new prince coming from? Well!?"

Perhaps because he felt that his status was seriously threatened, Zhu Houzhao was almost out of control and began to act arrogantly in front of this strange eunuch. He had long been accustomed to not treating eunuchs as human beings. The eunuchs bullied the most from childhood to adulthood, so there was no psychological barrier to scolding people now.

The eunuch was stunned. He never thought that a person wearing ordinary eunuch would dare to be arrogant in front of the door of the East Palace. He immediately raised his face and shouted:

"Are you crazy guy? This Eastern Palace is really evil. It's fine if the prince is sick for several months, but now he suddenly becomes crazy about another eunuch. Come on, please take this crazy man who claims to be the prince and take it seriously..."

The eunuch called out, and immediately several eunuchs and palace maids appeared.

These people are not old, basically the same as Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao was angry when he saw it. He had changed all the eunuchs and palace maids. In his opinion, this was clearly because the emperor's father planned to re-play the drums and open the stove. The Eastern Palace seemed to have nothing to do with him.

"You group of dog slaves, if you don't let go, I will kill you... Why don't you want your head, right? Come on, come on, Eunuch Zhang, Eunuch Liu... Where have you guys died? I want to see my father and mother!"

Zhu Houzhao yelled and said that the person had been pushed into the small dark room where the Eastern Palace usually used to punish eunuchs. Eunuchs immediately came to take off Zhu Houzhao's clothes.

Zhu Houzhao still shouted loudly: "You group of dog slaves, who gave you the courage to offend this prince? Do you obviously don't want to live? Come on! Did you hear it..."

The eunuch who had been calling Zhu Houzhao crazy before seemed to have some status in the new Eastern Palace team. Perhaps because he was used to being bullied by those old eunuchs since childhood, at this moment, he sneered with a shrill face and said, "You dare to be arrogant in the Eastern Palace, are you tired of living? Come on, take off his pants!"

With a command, a group of eunuchs fixed Zhu Houzhao's arms and legs in a row. The eunuch came over and took off Zhu Houzhao's pants. In an instant, a group of eunuchs around were stunned because they saw something they had never seen in their companions.

"This... isn't right, he... how could he have..." The eunuch who pulled his pants now said, but the scene in front of him and the people around him could never imagine.

Zhu Houzhao finally broke free, lifted his pants back to his waist, and said angrily: "I have told you a long time ago that I am the prince. Who allows you to be rude to the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty? Just now, you guy dared to say that I am a lunatic, and you have to take my pants off, right?"

Zhu Houzhao was furious and kicked the eunuch who was stripping his pants. The eunuch was so scared that he knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Zhu Houzhao.

The eunuchs next to them were so scared that they knelt down and kowtowed. They could not understand why the sick prince was wearing a eunuch's mansion and silently returned to the Xiefang Palace from Kunning Palace.

"Crown Prince, please spare me, I have never seen you, how can I recognize you..."

The eunuch who had taken the lead in pulling Zhu Houzhao's pants before was so scared that he trembled all over. He felt that his head was not safe this time, so he could only keep kowtowing and begging for mercy, and even bleeding from his forehead.
