Because they had to attend a palace banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang went to Yan Mansion one day early. In addition to the Mid-Autumn Festival, Daohua also brought a lot of food and medicinal materials produced in the space to Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Li.

Because she often eats food from the space, Mrs. Yan looks very good. Standing next to her peers, she looks several years younger.

Mrs. Li also has a rosy complexion and is full of energy. She is more graceful than Aunt Lin, and has a bit more charm than the young Aunt Liu. This makes Yan Zhigao not like to go to the concubine's room even more.

Daohua accompanied Mrs. Yan. Mrs. Li talked for a while and then went to see Zhou Jingwan.

Zhou Jingwan's due date is within a few days, and when the rice flowers arrived, Yan Wentao was walking with her in the yard.

"Third brother, you didn't go to the Yamen?"

Zhou Jingwan smiled and stepped forward to hold Daohua's hand: "Your third brother was worried that he would not be there when the child was born, so he took a few days off to come back and watch over her."

Daohua looked at Zhou Jingwan jokingly: "The third brother is not worried about not being able to see the child, he is worried that you will be scared." After saying that, he handed the wooden box in his hand to Yan Wentao.

"I brought a ginseng over here. If Jing Wansheng has no strength, I can cut it and give it to her to hold in her mouth."

Yan Wentao took it with a smile: "Third brother, I won't be polite to you anymore." The quality of the medicinal materials in the eldest sister's hands is better than those outside, and they are the kind that even rich people cannot buy.

Zhou Jingwan pulled Daohua into the house: "I haven't finished the supplements you sent me last time. If you don't send me anything in the future, your expenses in the palace are quite big."

Daohua touched Zhou Jingwan's belly: "There is still something for my little nephew to eat."

Yan Wentao knew that Xiao Yeyang was coming, so he spoke to Daohua and went to the front yard.

As soon as he left, Zhou Jingwan pulled Daohua and said, "After you come back this time and before Yile gets married, you'd better not come back."

After hearing this, Daohua raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Jingwan curled her lips and said, "My second uncle and my second aunt are all thinking about you adding makeup to Yile."

Daohua suddenly said "hehe" twice.

Zhou Jingwan: "My eldest aunt didn't care about Yile's dowry, and gave it directly to the second aunt and second sister-in-law. I went to take a look and found that more than half of the sixty-four dowries were not filled."

Daohua was surprised: "How could it be so?" Although her mother had nothing to do with Yile's dowry, for the sake of the Yan family's face, she still gave her second uncle and second aunt five thousand taels of silver.

Question.

Zhou Jingwan: "It's not Yile herself. When she buys jewelry for her head, she buys all the expensive ones. How much money can the second wife give her to show her face? If the second sister-in-law hadn't been watching, I think she would have bought sixty-four dowries.

No."

"Now they also think that the dowry is not good-looking, so why don't they just wait for you to add more dowry?"

Daohua sneered: "They want to be beautiful."

Forget it, Yihuan has been sensible and polite since she was a child, and she also knows how to be grateful. She is willing to add more makeup. But Yan Yile is a white-eyed wolf. In addition to Yili giving some makeup things, she is also superfluous.

Nothing will be given.

Daohua didn't take this matter to heart. If she didn't want to give her things, who could force her to do so?

After that, I talked to Zhou Jingwan about some things I should pay attention to during pregnancy and childbirth. It wasn’t until dinner time that we went to Mrs. Yan’s yard together.

Daohua and Xiao Yeyang stayed for dinner before leaving. During this period, Yan Zhiyuan and Sun tried to talk to Daohua, but they were stopped by Mrs. Li every time.

Until they got on the carriage and returned to the palace, Yan Zhiyuan and Sun didn't find a chance to talk about adding makeup.

......

At the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, the emperor's relatives, princes and ministers all came to attend. After Prince Ping arrived with Daohua and Xiao Yeyang, he felt very unhappy when he saw everyone retreating away.

At the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, everyone remembered the scene where Kang Naixin and Daohua greeted each other and was embarrassed by the Queen Mother in public, and they did not dare to repeat the same mistake again.

Seeing Xiao Yeyang and Daohua being isolated, the Queen Mother was very satisfied.

No matter how capable Xiao Yeyang is, once he is isolated, he will still be unable to accomplish anything in a court with complicated relationships.

When the Queen Mother was happy, she took the prince and the princesses joked. During this period, the third prince and the third prince's concubine were praised several times.

Daohua watched this scene and whispered to Xiao Yeyang: "Does the Queen Mother think the third prince is easy to control?"

Xiao Yeyang narrowed his eyes: "I don't know if the third prince is easy to control, but he is the one who is the least popular among the princes."

As he said that, he became silent.

He felt that what Daohua said was reasonable. Only when an adult prince had something to control could he have better control. He made up his mind to send secret guards to investigate the third prince after he returned home.

While Daohua and Xiao Yeyang were whispering to each other, the fourth prince came over with a wine glass and toasted Prince Ping.

Prince Ping looked at the fourth prince with satisfaction, feeling that the emperor's son was pretty good and did not follow the crowd and embarrass Prince Ping's palace.

No one was surprised when the fourth prince toasted Prince Ping, but when he had another drink with Xiao Yeyang and his wife, everyone looked at the Queen Mother in unison.

The Queen Mother snorted and said nothing, considering the Emperor's presence.

The eldest princes saw it and were a little hesitant.

During this time, they went to pay their respects to the Queen Mother. It was not that they didn’t get any benefits. There were also officials who came to seek refuge with her.

It’s hard to fight against someone who has gained a profit.

Therefore, I could only forcefully ignore Prince Ping, the uncle of the king, and at the same time, I cursed the fourth prince a few times in my heart.

Okay, why go over and toast? It’s okay to toast to Prince Ping. Why do you want to drink with Xiao Yeyang and his wife?

When the palace banquet was about to end, Prince Ping stood up, saluted the emperor, and then said loudly: "Brother Emperor, taking advantage of this Mid-Autumn Festival, I would like to offer Ye Yang the title of crown prince, and I hope your brother will do it."

"No!"

Before the emperor could speak, the queen mother sternly refused.

No one present expected that Prince Ping would offer Xiao Yeyang the title of crown prince at this time, nor did they expect that the Queen Mother would be the first to stand up and object.

Everyone looked at the Queen Mother, and no one missed the anger on her face.

Prince Ping frowned: "Queen Mother, Ye Yang should have inherited the title of Prince Ping. He didn't ask for the title before because he was not in the capital. Now that he is back and married again, it is time for him to ask for the title of Crown Prince.

."

Hearing Prince Ping address the Queen Mother as 'Queen Mother', the Emperor raised his eyebrows and smiled in his eyes.

The power of the Jiang family was almost established. Once the Jiang family was ousted, it was time to clear up his mother's name. He was thinking about how to tell Xiao Jiu the truth about his life experience. Now that Xiao Jiu had a problem with the Queen Mother, things were much easier to handle.

.

The Queen Mother held back her anger and looked at Prince Ping: "Don't you like Yechen the most? In order to give him the status of legitimate son, you even straightened up the Ma family. Don't you want to make Yechen the crown prince?"

Xiao Yeyang killed two heads of the Jiang family in succession, how could she let him inherit the title of the royal family?

In the Queen Mother's view, Prince Ping's princely title was also given to her by her. Now that Prince Ping wants to establish a heir apparent, he must obtain her consent.

Hearing what the Queen Mother said, Prince Ping immediately frowned: "Queen Mother, this king has never thought of making Yechen his crown prince. Wasn't it the Queen Mother who proposed to support the Ma family in the first place? How did it become that I wanted to give Yechen the throne?

Is it because of his status as the heir apparent that he can help the Ma family to stand up?"

Prince Ping's public denial made the Queen Mother even more angry. At the same time, she became even more convinced that Prince Ping was an immature white-eyed wolf.

"Are you disobeying the Ai family?"

At this time, the emperor smiled and said: "Queen Mother, you are serious. The title of Prince Ping's palace belongs to Xiaojiu. He can give it to whoever he wants. We can give opinions, but we have no right to make decisions for him."

Prince Ping said quickly: "Brother Emperor, Yeyang has been a young prince since he was a child, so the title of the prince's palace is naturally his."

The emperor ignored the Queen Mother's livid face and laughed twice: "Okay, I'm sure. The imperial edict to establish the crown prince will be sent to the palace tomorrow."

Prince Ping immediately said: "Brother Emperor Shengming." After saying that, he turned to look at Xiao Yeyang and Daohua, "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you thank me quickly?"

Xiao Yeyang and Daohua quickly stood up to thank each other, and then looked at each other in confusion. Both of them were very surprised by Prince Ping's behavior.

"Father, do you want to compensate your mother-in-law? Because your mother-in-law likes you, so she compensates you?"

Xiao Yeyang shrugged. He didn't know what his father was thinking.

The Queen Mother looked at the Emperor and Prince Heping with a pale face, and then stood up suddenly, with an angry face: "Okay, you are all disobedient to the Ai family, and the Ai family now even..."

At this point, I couldn't take a breath, so I just threw my head back and fell back.

Fortunately, I was supported by the palace maid next to me.

The Emperor looked at the Queen Mother's performance indifferently, with a cold look in his eyes. This was a poop pot being thrown over his and Xiaojiu's heads. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Queen Mother was stunned by the Emperor and Prince Heping. How unfilial is this?

"The Queen Mother's old illness has relapsed. Xiaojiu, please accompany me to send the Queen Mother back to Cining Palace."

The humble noble officials lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word. After the emperor and his entourage left, they left the palace as if they had been granted amnesty.

Xiao Yeyang and Daohua Ningmei walked last.

Daohua: "The Queen Mother must have been pretending just now."
