There was silence in the imperial study. The emperor held a white jade paperweight in his hand, his eyes were deep, and he seemed to be lost in thought.
Xiao Liu looked very much like the late emperor at this moment. He still remembered that he must have been six or seven years old when the Queen Mother entered the palace.
The Queen Mother had only been in the palace for just one year, but he had already heard her mother and concubine complain many times that the late emperor never came to her palace again.
Not only that, since the Queen Mother was favored, the late emperor seemed to have only cared about the Queen Mother, and no longer visited any concubines in the harem. From then on, no concubines in the harem gave birth to children.
The Queen Mother is an unusual woman. The farm she built with her own hands has delivered countless new types of food to the people all over the world, so that everyone can have enough to eat, and there will no longer be famine in the Yan Kingdom.
Each of these things, as time went by, became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, making the Queen Mother more and more respected and admired by people.
In the end, many officials in the court were impressed by the Queen Mother and were willing to be sent by her to serve the country.
The Emperor heaved a sigh of relief. He had great power and could not do without the Queen Mother's strong support for him.
For decades, he had always admired the relationship between the late emperor and the queen mother.
It's just that he has been king for decades, working hard every day and busy with court affairs, but he has never met anyone worthy of his full attention.
I thought that only the late emperor would have such a blessing, but I never thought that today I would see the word "love" on Xiao Liu again.
Anyway, Xiao Liu made great contributions to the peace between Yan and Qi, and Concubine Ye was also kind to the royal family by saving his life.
Xiaoliu and Concubine Ye are indeed a perfect match.
It's just that Xiao Liu still has to be beaten, lest he not take the courtiers' doubts to heart too much, and he might suffer a secret loss one day.
"Have you ever thought about," the emperor cleared his thoughts and glared at Ji Yannuo, "what negative impact will your acting so casually have on Concubine Ye?"
Ji Yannuo's heart skipped a beat: "Father, please tell me."
"You are the crown prince of the Yan Kingdom. The ministers and ministers may be able to offset your merits and demerits, but what about Concubine Ye? You are not afraid that others will give her the reputation of a witchy concubine. How will she gain a foothold in the future?"
"Father..." Ji Yannuo really has never thought about this direction.
The emperor glared at him hard again: "Father, I can help you two suppress this matter, but from now on, you need to think more carefully about your actions, remember?"
"My son, please remember your father's teachings!"
That night, Ye Fuxun was pulled by the Queen Mother to ask questions. After receiving many rewards from the Queen Mother, she returned to the Prince's Mansion in a carriage.
As soon as they entered Mingyue Palace, they saw Zhu Liangyuan walking back and forth in the courtyard, looking up from time to time.
"Mother, you are back." Seeing that Ye Fuxun was well, Zhu Liangyuan finally felt at ease.
"What?" Ye Fuxun laughed, "Could it be that my sister came to the palace and there were rumors in the prince's palace that my sister will not come back?"
Zhu Liangyuan's expression was complicated: "Sister, please don't say that! It's just that the news of my sister's entry into the palace spread to Lanxi Palace. It was the time for greetings. The sisters in the palace said that the palace wanted to pursue the eldest princess.
My sister is worried about my sister now because of what happened today."
"It's okay." Ye Fuxun smiled and patted Zhu Liangyuan's hand, "My sister is worried."
She didn't know whether Ji Yannuo said anything about it when he was taken away by the emperor, but the Queen Mother praised Ji Yannuo for doing well in front of her.
"That's why he put his whole heart for you and put the Cuju competition behind him." This is what the Queen Mother said exactly, "Although some people will definitely criticize the impact on the peace talks between Yan and Qi, but if you think about it deeply, if the princess of Qi is allowed to bully you
, then do we still need Yan Guo’s face? If those old stereotypes think clearly, they won’t make trouble."
"The peace talks between Yanqi and Qi did not come about because of the marriage of the princesses of the country, but because of the achievements made by the prince himself. They are not so easy to be corrupted!"
Ye Fuxun is really not worried about this. Not to mention the exchange of friendship between Ji Yannuo and Pei Kun, as for the relationship between Pei Kun and the eldest princess, Ah Qiu said that the eldest princess has never looked down upon Pei Kun.
.
If the eldest princess hadn't asked for a marriage in front of Emperor Qi Ren, Pei Kun would never have agreed to let her come.
Ah Qiu's letter also said that Pei Kun knew that Ji Yannuo would definitely not marry the eldest princess, and he said personally that the eldest princess could marry anyone and it would not affect the relationship between the two countries.
With such a brother around, Ji Yannuo is not afraid of rumors in the court at all.
Another day passed, after Ye Fuxun took a break for lunch, Xiaoyu hurried in and delivered a shocking news.
"Your Majesty, I heard that the emperor granted marriage to Prince Heng and the eldest princess of Qi today!"
Ye Fuxun opened his mouth: "How could it be so sudden? Can you tell me the reason?"
Xiaoyu shook her head: "I have never heard of this slave."
She pondered the news for a long time, but still had no clue.
This matter must not have been requested by the eldest princess of Qi. Could it be that King Heng asked for it?
Prince Heng has been very ambitious since becoming the king, and the report card he submitted in court is quite beautiful. If he had the help of the eldest princess of Qi, he might think he could compete with Ji Yannuo?
Ye Fuxun didn't think about it for too long, and Yan Yiyi came back.
Since meeting Yan Yiyi in Prince Heng's Mansion a few days ago, this is the first time Ye Fuxun has seen her again.
"Did you and Bai Yi leave Prince Heng's Mansion early that day for something else?" Ye Fuxun recalled the scene that day and couldn't help but wonder.
Unexpectedly, Yan Yiyi didn't say anything. She suddenly took Ye Fuxun's hand with red eyes and apologized: "It's all my fault."
"If Bai Yi and I hadn't left Prince Heng's Mansion, you wouldn't have been bullied by the eldest princess." Yan Yiyi pursed her lips tightly, "I promised Ji Yannuo to protect you, but in the end I didn't do it."
"Sister Yiyi, this has nothing to do with you!"
Ye Fuxun didn't expect that Yan Yiyi would feel guilty because of this incident, so he patted her shoulder and said, "The princess didn't hurt me at all that day, don't worry."
"It was my fault first." Yan Yiyi insisted on apologizing, "I, I went to avenge Ah Xun."
"Revenge?" Question marks flashed through Ye Fuxun's eyes again.
"The eldest princess was embarrassed and hid back in the embassy," Yan Yiyi said. "Prince Heng brought gifts to visit, so I locked the door and blew a breath of incense inside."
"Then..." Yan Yiyi looked at Ye Fuxun and said, "There is a marriage granted by the Holy Spirit."
In her opinion, the reason why the eldest princess was looking for trouble with Ye Fuxun was simply because Ye Fuxun was Ji Yannuo's sweetheart.
Rather than letting her continue to think about it, it would be better to just kill her thoughts.
It just so happened that King Heng was interested in the eldest princess, so she simply made them happy, saving the eldest princess from having to think of ways to deal with her later.
Ye Fuxun silently raised his thumb to give Yan Yiyi a thumbs up, and Yan Yiyi chuckled: "Axun, are you not angry with me anymore?"
She opened her eyes innocently: "Sister Yiyi, what are you talking about? I have never been angry with you."
