The Sixth Prince followed the First Prince back to the Third Princess's residence, "Your servant greets the First Prince, and greets the Sixth Prince."

"Where is the third princess?"

"Last night, the Third Princess told Biyun to have a good rest today and not allow anyone to disturb her."

"Brother, my sister did go out two or three days ago, so what father said about my sister going out to catch spies is true. Father did not lie to you."

"The fourth princess just saw that the emperor doted on her sister, so she slandered her sister in front of the grandmother. She is a narrow-minded person."

"Han'er, now that you know who she is, stay away from her, lest she harbor evil intentions towards you and want to harm you."

"I see."

"I'll go back first. When Xue'er wakes up, tell her to go to the Imperial Grandmother's palace to pay New Year's greetings and ask Father to go with her, so that the Imperial Grandmother won't embarrass her."

"Yes."

Xi Lingxue slept until 9 o'clock in the morning, then woke up, stretched and got up.

"Happy New Year, Third Princess. I wish you a happy new year. I wish you all the best in the new year and that you will become more and more beautiful."

"This princess, I wish you and your spouse love each other and all your wishes come true."

"Thank you, Third Princess."

"Ask Xier and Haitang to help me dress up."

"Yes."

They soon arrived at Xi Lingxue's boudoir. "Third Princess, the eldest and sixth princes came back from the palace and waited for you for a while. The eldest prince returned home, and the sixth prince told me to wait for you to wake up and talk to you."

"Call the Sixth Prince."

"Yes."

Wei Han came running over in casual clothes, "Sister, you're awake."

"What are you doing? Why is your face so red?"

"The Imperial Academy will not hold classes during the New Year. My royal brother is practicing martial arts with Jiuzhou and the others in the backyard training ground."

"When my sister is not in the mansion, you should practice with Jiuzhou. Don't be lazy. Only when you become strong will others be afraid of you."

"The palace is full of dangers. You must be a master of martial arts to stay safe. When I have time, I will teach you how to make medicine."

"Han'er, remember the teachings of the Imperial Sister."

"What do you want to tell me?"

"This morning, the princes and princesses went to pay New Year's greetings to the Royal Grandmother. The Fourth Princess slandered you in front of the Royal Grandmother. My eldest brother and I argued with her and were scolded by the Royal Grandmother. She was not very happy."

"My eldest brother said that if you go to the Imperial Grandmother's palace to pay New Year's greetings alone, she will definitely make things difficult for you, so please ask Father to go with you."

"It's great that my sister has Han'er."

"When I grow up, I will protect my sister."

"Imperial sister, I am waiting for your protection."

"I'm going to practice. I want to become stronger and protect my sister."

"Go!"

Xi Lingxue was wearing a gorgeous robe with delicate floral patterns embroidered on the lapels. Her skirt was more than three feet long, and she had a jade pendant and a sachet tied around her waist, making her look very noble and elegant.

"Biyun, ask Chen Lu to prepare the carriage."

"Yes."

She walked slowly towards the gate of the mansion. Every time she wore a palace dress, she didn't dare to walk with big steps, for fear of stepping on the hem of her skirt and falling, which would be embarrassing.

When they arrived at the palace gate in a carriage, the eunuch saw Xi Lingxue coming and hurried forward to greet her.

"Your servant greets the Third Princess."

"Aren't you the eunuch serving the emperor? The emperor wants to see me about something."

"The Emperor has asked me to take the Third Princess to the Yangxin Palace. The Emperor and you will go to the Empress Dowager's Palace to pay New Year's greetings."

Xi Lingxue thought that her father was worried that she would be bullied in the Empress Dowager's palace, so he accompanied her. Although she was not afraid of being bullied by the Empress Dowager, it felt good to have someone protecting her.

Even if my father doesn't accompany me, I'm not afraid of that old witch, the Empress Dowager. Every time she sees me, she puts on her airs, which is really annoying.

Fortunately, I don’t have to pay my respects to her every day, otherwise she would be mad at me sooner or later.

I am not a princess like Wei Muyao. I will not let her control me or flatter me. If you make me angry, I will not stop until you die of rage, no matter if you are the queen mother or the imperial concubine.

When we arrived at the main hall, the emperor was sitting there reviewing memorials. It seemed that being an emperor was not easy as he had no holidays for 365 days a year. Unless he gave himself a holiday, he would have something to do every day.

The ministers went to court on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, but the emperor was still busy. This is the difference between being a boss and an employee.

"My son, I will meet my father."

"Xue'er is here."

"Father, why are you still busy today, the first day of the new year?"

"National affairs are not subject to date. Father will not be at ease until he has finished reading the memorials, so as not to delay national affairs."

"It is a blessing for the people of Wei to have a good emperor like my father who is diligent and caring for the people."

"When your royal grandfather passed the throne to my father, he warned me that I must take national affairs as my own responsibility. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."

"It's easy to be a prince, but it's very hard to be a good emperor. Maybe one mistake of yours will make the people homeless."

"Father, I have encountered many corrupt officials on my way down from Penglai. Have you taken any measures?"

"The last time you mentioned this to my father, he ordered the imperial envoy, Lord Wang, to go to various counties and prefectures to thoroughly investigate whether local officials have engaged in corruption. We will never allow the Wei Empire to be corrupted by these greedy people."

"With a good emperor like my father, our Great Wei will only get better and better and more powerful."

"Father will surely lead the people of our dynasty to prosperity."

"I, your son, will also participate in this important moment. In the future, if your father has something to do, you can ask me to do it. Although I cannot guarantee that I will do my best, I will do my best to complete the task."

This is what the emperor wanted. He said happily, "Okay, father, with Xue'er's help, we will surely become the strongest country."

"Father will let you witness that important moment."

"I believe that Father can do it."

When the emperor heard Xi Lingxue's affirmation, he was extremely excited.

He happily brought Xi Lingxue to the Empress Dowager's palace. Although the Empress Dowager was unhappy, she could not offend the Emperor.

The Queen Mother's face suddenly became extremely ugly after the Emperor and Xi Lingxue left.

"This Wei Lingxue is just relying on the emperor's favor to ignore me."

"Queen Mother, please don't be angry. It won't be long before the Third Princess can no longer be so arrogant. By then, she will become a joke in all countries and marry into another country, which will only be a nuisance to you."

The Queen Mother felt relieved when she thought of such a scene.
