"No, just now the Emperor praised me for my good writing skills. This is all taught by Mr. Mei."

Xie Junyi retorted that although he had only been Mei Ran's student for a few months, he benefited a lot from these few months.

"Even Brother Prince Qi and Sister Yue praised Mr. Mei for his good knowledge."

Hearing this, the emperor smiled, "If your brother Prince Qi is praising me, I can still believe it. Meng Xiyue is a concubine's daughter from a small family. How can she have any knowledge? In her eyes, any young lady from aristocratic family is qualified to be a teacher."

"Father, you have never seen Sister Yue's knowledge, so how can you know that she is not well-educated?"

Xie Ruixuan felt that his father was prejudiced against women. "I think Sister Yue's knowledge is comparable to that of Brother Qi Wang, and Sister Yue's calligraphy and painting are even better than Brother Qi Wang."

"Really?" The emperor raised his eyebrows. You know, Prince Qi's knowledge is among the best in the capital. How could Meng Xiyue have such knowledge?

Although she didn't want to believe it, she couldn't have made Xie Junyi so devoted to her just by relying on her beauty.

"Father, many women are not worse than men. They just don't have the opportunity to display their talents."

Xie Ruixuan thought of what Mei Ran had said to him, "If it weren't for the secular rules that were suppressing them, women would also have their own world instead of being trapped in the backyard."

"But this is the rule that has always been in place. Men are responsible for the outside world and women are responsible for the inside world. If we don't follow the rules and let women do whatever they want, what will this world become?"

The emperor sighed, "In a court like this, women have narrow horizons. If they were allowed to participate, there would be a huge uproar. There must be a reason why our ancestors set these rules."

"What's the logic? It's just that the men are afraid of being overpowered by women..."

"Okay, Xuan'er, I will send someone to investigate the matter of Mr. Mei and clear her name. There is no need for you to worry about this matter."

The emperor interrupted him impatiently and said that it was absolutely impossible to allow women to enter the court.

Xie Ruixuan knew that he couldn't change people's inherent thoughts with just a few words.

"Thank you, Father."

……

Xie Junyi's sudden departure caused a big change in the wind direction in the court.

Although he had talked with several noble families before he left, some officials in the court still did not believe in a prince who had returned from the common people and was only ten years old.

In contrast, although the imperial concubine had lost her power, Prince Liang wanted to marry Princess Rong'an and had great support from the Ning'an Palace, and the emperor's attitude towards Prince Liang had not changed.

Judging from these aspects, King Liang has a great chance of winning.

Because many officials changed their positions and defected to King Liang.

Prince Liang was still immersed in the sadness of his mother's fall from power, but upon hearing the news, he became full of energy again.

Even without the support of the imperial concubine, he is now strong enough to resist, and his father once said that as long as he marries Princess Rong'an, he will be made the crown prince.

He has already defeated Xie Junyi, so how could he be afraid of a ten-year-old child?

Now he just needs to prepare for the wedding.

Xie Junyi nearly lost his life for a concubine's daughter and left the capital again.

In contrast, Prince Liang married the powerful Princess Rong'an.

In the eyes of the people, Xie Junyi has fallen from his god-like status in their hearts.

Moreover, in the hearts of the people, the Ning'an Palace is like a general protecting the country.

Xie Junyi humiliated Princess Rong'an for the sake of another woman, which made some people feel sorry for her.

Although they dare not say it openly, many people still think that Xie Junyi is somewhat blinded by lust.

For a while, King Liang's image among the people changed a little.

Wedding is coming soon

The busiest place is the Ning'an Palace. Cui Panxi is as precious as a pearl and a treasure to them, and her wedding must be a grand one.

From wedding dresses to pearl hairpins and earrings, Princess Ning'an did everything herself.

On the night before the wedding, the princess, who was reluctant to let her daughter get married, went to Cui Panxi's room and fell asleep with her.

Lying in the arms of Princess Ning'an, Cui Panxi felt as if she had returned to her childhood.

When she first returned to the Ning'an Palace, the princess accompanied her to sleep every day.

"Mother, I can't bear to leave you."

If possible, she really wanted to stay in Ning'an Palace for the rest of her life.

Only when she was with them did she feel unprecedented peace of mind.

"Xi'er, if you don't want to marry King Liang, then we won't marry."

Princess Ning'an also didn't want her daughter to marry Prince Liang, as he was not a good match.

Moreover, he had big plans for the Ning'an Palace, and given the prince's character, he would not support him.

The one who will be in trouble at that time will be Cui Panxi.

"I want to marry him. He will treat me well."

Cui Panxi said uncertainly that in the past, Prince Liang treated her very well because of her identity as Princess Rong'an.

But ever since I got the evidence against her, things are not as good as before.

She knew that King Liang had no feelings for her and was only using her.

But as long as she is still Princess Rong'an, King Liang will not treat her too harshly.

She will become the Princess of Liang, the Crown Princess, and then the Queen.

That position can only belong to her.

"Xi'er, there are many good men in the world, and there are many in our Northwest. If you return to the Northwest, you can choose a man of your dreams, and we will let him marry into the Ning'an Palace, so that you can stay with us forever."

Princess Ning'an continued to persuade her, but she didn't know that if she didn't get married, Cui Panxi would not be able to stay with them.

"Mother, please stop trying to persuade me. I have made up my mind. Besides, we are getting married tomorrow."

Cui Panxi couldn't help but tear up. Her father, mother and brother were all so good to her, how could she let them know the truth? She wanted to keep this secret forever.

Cui Panxi can only be her.

But even though Zhao Da, who knew about this, was already dead, she still felt uneasy.

She asked King Liang to secretly send people to Qingyun City to deal with all those involved in this matter.

Let’s see if we can follow this clue and find the real Cui Panxi.

But Cui Panxi seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, with no trace of her left.

This made her feel at ease, but at the same time she was afraid that she would suddenly appear one day.

The mother-in-law who delivered her mother was also not found.

This person is the one who knows the truth best besides Zhao Da, and he cannot be left behind.

Cui Panxi's mind was in a turmoil as she lay in Princess Ning'an's arms, thinking about how to get rid of Princess Ning'an's real daughter.

Princess Ning'an treated her like a treasure.

She told her all the things she needed to pay attention to after getting married. This is probably what all mothers would say the night before their wedding.

Finally, she sang the song that she used to fall asleep in when she was a child.
