Ling Ping waved his hand: "No, Lord Tao is very cunning and cunning. Even my grandfather doesn't like him very much."
Ling Ping's maternal grandfather was the previous Imperial College minister.
He is an old man with high moral standards and a scholarly character.
I have always disliked the Tao family relying on their power to stir up trouble in the court.
Gu Nuoer knew it well.
Ye Siming kept leaning against the car wall, closing his eyes and falling asleep without interrupting.
After a while, the carriage stopped in front of Tao's mansion.
Gu Nuoer saw that every guest who came to the banquet today brought two gifts.
The housekeeper of the Tao Mansion stood at the door with two young men, receiving them and saying hello with a smile.
Gu Nuoer blinked and whispered to Ye Siming: "They all gave away two copies, but we only brought one copy. What should we do?"
Ling Ping came up from the side: "Don't be afraid, my mother and concubine have asked me to bring an extra portion for you."

With that said, he called to the boy to unload the gifts from the carriage.
Ling Ping murmured to the two of them: "My mother-in-law guessed that you two may not be aware that the Tao Mansion now accepts double gifts."
"Who made Tao Ning, the eldest daughter of their family, become the Crown Princess immediately? The nobles in Kyoto understand this tacitly and give two copies when giving gifts. It's very flattering."
Gu Nuoer thought thoughtfully: "Everyone is trying to please Tao Mansion just to leave a good impression on the prince. Has Linzhou's power already reached this level?"
Ling Ping smiled heartlessly and said: "You don't know, right? The prince is now in charge of the four departments of punishment, household, official, ritual and etiquette!"
He has the final say on punishments, making laws, and the entire law of Xili.
He is in charge of the military treasury, the national treasury, and the court finances.
Officials, the appointment and dismissal of officials in the court all depend on his words.
Ceremonies, imperial examinations, palace sacrifices, etc. can only be held after he nods.
Four of the six kingdoms have become Yunlinzhou's rights.
Gu Nuoer couldn't help but clicked her tongue.
She murmured to herself: "I thought Emperor Ling would give all his rights to Shen'er."
Ling Ping exclaimed: "Brother Shen doesn't fight, but the remaining military and engineering departments among the six departments are in his hands."
"But the prince is very diligent. In the past few years, the ministers in the court have praised him endlessly. I heard my grandfather said that one day my father might let the prince supervise the country."
Ye Siming glanced sideways at Ling Ping.
"What about you? The two of them are in charge of six departments. You can't be ordinary."
Ling Ping touched the back of his head sheepishly.
"Me, my ambition is not to be in the court. I want to go to the frontier to practice. But my father said that I still lacked the qualifications, so he gave me the command of the imperial army in the city and asked me to practice my skills first."
Only then did Gu Nuoer understand.
Ling Ping practiced martial arts hard and originally wanted to be a general.
While they were talking, they had already walked up to the housekeeper.
The butler welcomed the guests and immediately glanced at the congratulatory gifts in Gu Nuoer's hands.
Seeing that Ye Siming only took one portion.
When he saw the young girl's face, the housekeeper smiled and said, "Did the young master and the young lady go to the wrong place? Just a gift?"
The steward pointed to the plaque: "Look clearly, this is the Tao Mansion."
In fact, Ling Ping had already asked his entourage to hold the gifts prepared by Concubine Xian.
Hearing the housekeeper's strange words, Ling Ping immediately frowned: "You are so presumptuous, how can you talk?"
The housekeeper didn't recognize Gu Nuoer and Ye Siming, but he recognized Ling Ping.
The mean look on his face suddenly disappeared and turned into fear.
"I didn't know that Your Highness was here. Please forgive me!"
