Just as Ye Jintang thought, when she appeared in the imperial study, all the officials present were surprised, but no one dared to stand up and stop her from participating in the meeting.

It's not that everyone doesn't want to object, but most of the people in the imperial study are Xiao Mo's confidants. In the past, in Ningchuan City, Ye Jintang could take charge of the city's political affairs on behalf of Xiao Mo, which was enough to show how much Xiao Mo loved her.

Unless you are a fool, you won't rush to frown at Xiao Mo.

However, after this matter spread, many people in the capital were quite worried, fearing that Ye Jintang would become the second Empress Dowager Naruhito.

At the same time, the Danyang Marquis Mansion was in a gloomy mood.

After Xiao Mo clarified the rumors at the first opportunity, Marquis Danyang and Old Madam Ye were worried all day long.

Ye Jintang is so favored by Xiao Mo, then wouldn't all their efforts in arranging Xia Ying to enter the palace be in vain?

"My Lord, what do you think we should do now? Ye Jintang has been back in Beijing for three days, and she hasn't sent a single letter to their mansion. It's clear that she is dissatisfied with us."

Old Madam Ye, who was worried, did not sleep well last night. Now Ye Jintang was like a knife hanging over her head, and she didn't know when he would take her life. How could she sleep with such fear?

"What else can we do? We can only try to reduce our presence and not provoke Ye Jintang. She has the emperor's support and is no longer the little girl who could be manipulated by others."

Marquis Danyang was also extremely depressed. He had thought that those rumors would pull Ye Jintang down from the position of Queen, but he was too happy for nothing and ended up with nothing in the end.

"How can this be possible? If Ye Jintang really doesn't regard us as family, our Danyang Marquis Mansion will be in trouble."

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Marquis Danyang really had no good solution at this moment. Ye Jintang was the queen, and it was basically impossible for them to touch her.

"Why don't I go to the palace and test her attitude. If she still cares about us being her grandparents, then everything will be fine. If she doesn't care, we still have to think of a way to deal with Xia Ying."

Marquis Danyang was silent for a while, but finally nodded.

He really has no other tricks, so it doesn't hurt to try Madam Ye's method, just in case it works.

Marquis Danyang felt that he had no other options, but Madam Gan refused to give up.

How could she let Ye Jintang ruin her perfect plan?

"Son, didn't you say last time that you had bribed Xia Ying's eunuch? Hurry up and send a letter in, and ask Xia Ying to find a way to show up in front of the emperor."

"As long as Xia Ying can be favored by the emperor, everything will be fine."

"Mom, don't worry about it. I've already asked Eunuch Su. It was the emperor who ordered that no outsiders should contact Xia Ying. I don't know what the emperor means."

"this?"

Madam Gan was a little confused. Is Xiao Mo a normal man? It is really strange that he is not moved by such a delicate beauty like Xia Ying in front of him and instead keeps her under guard.

"Son, we can't just sit there and wait for death. While Ye Jintang has just returned to the palace and is not very familiar with the affairs of the palace, we must let Xia Ying take the position as soon as possible."

"I want to, too, but no one can see Xia Ying now, and she can't get out. What can we do?"

Ye Dong was also helpless. He had already planned to seek an official position for himself in the future, but now Xia Ying was a useless person and she didn't even see the shadow of Xiao Mo.

"Why don't we go find the King of Han? Didn't he tell you before that you can go to him if you have any problems?"

"this?"

"Don't talk nonsense. The King of Han owes you a big favor. If you hadn't discovered that the illegitimate child the King of Han kept outside was being followed, I'm afraid the princess would have discovered it."

"Go and ask him to help create an opportunity for Xia Ying to meet the emperor. He will definitely agree."

Ye Dong thought so too. It was difficult for them to get into the palace, but it was different for the King of Han. After all, he was a prince.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Ye Dongfeng went to the King of Han in a hurry to ask for help. Just as he expected, the King of Han agreed immediately.

"Your Highness, the bunch of idiots in the Danyang Marquis' Mansion are so easy to fool."

Qiu Fangyi, the counselor beside Xiao Zhengde, looked at Ye Dong's hurriedly leaving back and couldn't help but complain.

"It's just a small chess piece. We don't need to pay too much attention to it. What's important now is how to make the emperor and empress at odds. I have heard a little about this Xia Ying. I heard that she is a rare beauty and the only woman Xiao Mo has left in the palace besides Ye Jintang."

"If she can really stir up some trouble in the harem, we will have an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Xiao Zhengde, who was sitting on the armchair, picked up the teacup beside him very calmly and took a sip slowly.

"It is rare that the prince can keep his composure and not lose his composure because of Xiao Mo's investigation of our people. In the future, the prince will definitely be crowned with the dragon robe."

"I don't really care about the dragon robe or not. I just want to help my descendants have a good future. Look at the sons of Emperor Jing, none of them are up to par. Now the throne has fallen into the hands of a cripple like Xiao Mo. It's really a joke."

"Your Highness is right. Xiao Mo is not even as good as the Crown Prince. He is just lucky to be the emperor."

Xiao Zhengde laughed out loud.

"That's true."

"Your Highness, Aunt Cui is here and is talking to the princess in the backyard." A servant stood at the door of the study and saluted Xiao Zhengde respectfully.

"Okay, I'll go over immediately."

When Qiu Fangyi heard that it was Aunt Cui who came, he left tactfully. This Aunt Cui was a very important person, and he didn't dare to delay Xiao Zhengde from meeting her.

In a good mood, Xiao Zhengde strode towards the backyard. He hadn't seen Cui Lanwei for some time.

Just after he passed the moon gate in the backyard, a maidservant beside the princess came to stop him and told him to go directly to Cuiwei Pavilion of Cui Lanwei instead of going to the princess.

"Okay, tell the princess that I'll come over to her place for dinner later."

"Yes."

Cuiwei Pavilion is not in a good location in the Prince of Han's Mansion, it is even a bit remote. Xiao Zhengde was sweating all the way there.

"I've met the prince."

Cui Lanwei, dressed in gorgeous clothes, was bright and charming, and looked like a completely different person from Aunt Cui in the palace.

"Lan Wei, you are finally back."

Xiao Zhengde stepped forward and helped Cui Lan up with a smile on his face.

"Have you ever been to see Cong'er?"

"Yes, Cong'er has grown a lot taller than before. He can get married in two years."

Cui Lanwei leaned gently in Xiao Zhengde's arms with a faint smile on her face.

"Thank you for your hard work over the years, but don't worry, I will definitely find a good girl of equal status for Cong'er to be his legal wife."

"Your Highness, you can't do that. Cong'er is the youngest of the brothers. He doesn't need to bring honor to the palace, and naturally he doesn't need to marry a noble lady. Your Highness only needs to look for an ordinary family below the fifth rank."
