(Crown Prince Qin Dinxiang's POV)

"The empress has arrived!" Eunuch Li announced

My mother arrived with a mischievous smile, I have heard of the deaths of some unfavored concubines in the inner palace. My father has been very busy with the paperworks and matters of the court that he has let my mother take care of his wives. Meticulous, calculating, scheming and intelligent those are words that perfectly describe my mother. For years my brother, my sister and I have successfully escaped assassinations and have lived peacefully.

"Mother" I called

"I know, tonight is the official coronation and you must be ready for any assassination attempt. They will never rest till I or one of my children dies."

"What about the bride?" I asked, the court has been pushing matters of marriage to me and I haven't dated a noble lady who will meet my mother's standards

"Feng clan's only descendant will show herself later, I will make the arrangements for you and her. You must take this seriously, Feng clan controls one-half of the military power in this kingdom, they have imperial blood from the kingdom of the south. Even your father keep good relations with people from south, they are powerful. West kingdom's Xie family is the richest and most powerful family where old general Feng Moying's wife came from. Do not underestimate their power, even I have not met their descendant but she must be their pride."

My mother isn't greedy of power, she just wants to ensure that I will succeed the throne. But who is the noble lady of Feng clan?

Why is she so important?

"Your majesty the emperor wishes to see you" Lin mama came

"Son, I shall take my leave, your father needs me. Be careful"

"Wenyue, investigate Feng clan's only descendant, dig every detail you can dig from her and their family"

I have deep connections with the underworld, and I lead the largest mercenary group in this kingdom. My network runs deep within the capital and it is impossible for someone to escape my prying eyes. I walk towards the window, and glance at the sky.

"Brother you're getting married! Where's my win?" Voices echoed in the room, I turn around and meet my sister and my elder brother's gazes

"I wonder if one of you knew the descendant of the Fengs" I asked them

"Do you want me to get close to her?" My sister asked, so it implies that she doesn't know her

"As far as I know she arrived at the capital yesterday. She grew up from the island of Cuixia so there's not much information that our men can get. But the maidservants from the manor said she's extremely charming, talented and very smart" my brother said, but disinterest is plastered on his face

"What's with that face Duyi?" I asked

"I mean, doesn't every noble family want to spread rumors that would boost the images and publicity of their marriageable ladies? It's really absurd listening to the same description over and over again, but when you see them head on, you'll realize the type of fake news you've been eating"

"Well unlike you whose only running after noble lady Jin. She doesn't seem to care about your feelings." Daiyu said with a mocking voice

"Shut up!" And the argument for the two of them has started, I don't know when they will end this childish play.

I as their brother just wants to see them smile, their happiness is my happiness and as long as I am the crown prince, no one will dare hurt them.
