In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

The prince nodded, his face somewhat disappointed: "Okay, I understand..."

Unexpectedly, the royal family became more and more complicated. The prince was a little disappointed, "Father... doesn't seem to like me as much as before."

"In fact, His Majesty also likes His Royal Highness, so don't think too much about it. If I hadn't pointed this out, I'm afraid His Royal Highness wouldn't have thought anything of it. He gets along with His Royal Highness... just as always, and is just as good to His Royal Highness as before."

The prince smiled and nodded. That’s true.

He looked at Bai Lu with gratitude and said, "Cousin, I like you very much. I hope you can stay in Kyoto for a while longer."

Bai Lu shook her head and smiled at the prince, "Once this matter is resolved, I will return to Liangzhou and Qingzhou."

"Kyoto is too complicated, so I will stay here... for a while."

"The reason I came here before was because of the urgent summons from the Supreme Emperor, and also to clear the grievances of my brothers."

"Now that the matter has been resolved, there are only Concubine Liang and Concubine Xie left... But they are both very cunning, and it will be difficult to find out their fault in a short time. Let my brothers keep an eye on them."

"And Pei Huizhou... From now on, your male affairs have nothing to do with me. I just want to live my own life and raise these children."

"So I won't stay in Kyoto for too long."

Bai Lu knew in her heart that as long as Pei Huizhou was around, Xie and Concubine Liang would have a backer. If Pei Huizhou was not around, Xie and Concubine Liang would not be a threat at all. In other words, with Pei Huizhou around, even if Xie and Concubine Liang died at this moment, Pei Huizhou might be able to find another Haitang to mess up the Bai family.

After hearing what Bai Lu said, the prince felt sad.

He shook his head and sighed, then said to Bai Lu with some sadness: "So... Cousin Bai Lu, are you leaving soon? You won't stay in Kyoto for a while? Kyoto is actually quite fun."

Seeing that the prince was trying to keep her, Bai Lu smiled and said to him, "Your Highness, you don't have to say it so early, as if I'm leaving right now. I'll be staying in Kyoto for a while, so you don't have to worry about me leaving in the short term."

Hearing this, the prince breathed a sigh of relief. He felt a little sad, so he nodded to the woman and said, "Okay, you can stay as long as you can."

In fact, I know in my heart that Bai Lu is not suitable for Kyoto. Kyoto is full of intrigues and deceptions... It's a struggle for imperial power. Keeping a business genius like Bai Lu in Kyoto is simply a waste of talent.

Moreover, I heard that Bai Lu was going to the Western Regions to do business and open a new shop. She must have been busy in Qingzhou. She had to start her business in Qingzhou, so how could she have time to scheme with them here?

The prince sighed inwardly and said to Bai Lu, "In fact, I also hope that you will not get involved in these court disputes."

"My aunt was very kind to me when she was alive. I feel very sad. If you can be well, it will surely be worthy of my aunt's spirit in heaven."

If I involve my aunt's daughter and get her implicated, how can I face my aunt in the afterlife?

Hearing this, Bai Lu smiled at the prince and said, "Your Highness, I will do my best to help you."

......

In the Queen Mother's Palace.

The emperor is playing with the seven little moons.

He was actually a little proud. The little moons didn't like their grandfather, but they liked him very much and wanted to play with him every day.

Even though the emperor was busy with state affairs and had little time, he would still take a little time to chat with these children.

Especially the child who looks very much like Bailu, Xiao Qiyue, Princess Shouyue. She is very well-behaved, sensible, obedient, and smart, and I like her very much.

Of course, he also likes other children, but among these children, he likes July more because he is partial to her.

There was nothing he could do. The emperor felt that partiality was human nature. Just like his own princes, he had some he liked and some he didn't like.

July brought a piece of date paste cake to the emperor, and the emperor stuffed it into his mouth with a smile.

In fact, he doesn't like to eat pastries like date paste cake. He prefers high-end pastries, such as golden red date curd, pecan rolls... The pastries he had eaten before had more than twenty steps in each process.

The pastries that July gave herself were not from the palace, but bought from outside.

The queen was standing nearby, and seeing the emperor eating happily, she looked hesitant.

She hesitated, wanting to say something, but finally gave up.

What I really want to say is... these cakes have not been tested for poison, and I don't know if they are safe for the emperor to eat.

But thinking about the cakes that Little Moon ate, Bai Lu had already tested them for poison, otherwise how could Bai Lu be at ease?

The Queen Mother saw that the children were very close to the Emperor and nodded with satisfaction.

She did not neglect the sons born to Bai Lu, and called the little boys to come to herself and the queen.

She and the Queen asked about the boys' lessons.

The Queen Mother asked Leng Bingnian with a smile: "Bingnian, you just learned a set of boxing techniques two days ago. I heard that you learned it from the Imperial Guards, and you stole the skills yourself..."

"Come on, fight here and let me, the queen and the emperor see how good your boxing skills are."

Leng Bingnian nodded, and immediately threw a set of punches in front of everyone.

The boy looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old. He had already begun to grow tall and had an upright posture. He had thin muscles attached to his bones and looked very strong.

There was no expression on his cold face, and he looked very stern.

The emperor doesn't like this kind of kid very much, he looks very cold and hard... He's not like the treacherous ministers in the court who would flatter him, and you can tell at a glance that Leng Bingnian is not one who would flatter.

But I have to praise that the young man looks like a template for a young general.

The Queen Mother and the Empress both smiled subtly.

They both like the character Leng Bingnian very much. He is like a silent little ice cube handsome guy. They like him the most and find him very interesting.

He started moving!

The boy was built like a crane. Although he was strong, he was also very agile.

Moreover, each punch is full of internal force and is delivered with great force. It is not just a fancy move, but a real move that can be used on the battlefield. It is a move that can really kill and capture people.

The emperor was stunned.
