The daughter of the emperor is beautiful and holds the power over the world

Ling Yuefeng had a vague feeling that ever since Prince Yong returned to the capital in triumph and the little girl from Situ Mansion asked Mo Han to bring him thousand-year-old ginseng, the capital city had gradually changed.

Although he never went out over the years, he always paid attention to the changes in the situation in Shangjing City.

When Prince Yong returned, he was not punished by His Majesty but was rewarded instead. The Minister of Justice Zhen Zhinian was demoted to the Vice Minister of Justice because his son had troubled a little girl.

In the past, this was something that was unthinkable when Concubine Xin controlled the harem and Prime Minister Xin controlled the government.

Now that Mo Han has been promoted and has control over part of the military power in Shangjing City, Prime Minister Xin and his party will certainly be unable to sit still. They will speed up their actions against Prince Yong's Mansion and Situ's Mansion.

Mo Han now has the trust of His Majesty. Although his power is limited, he can still lend a helping hand to Prince Yong and the Situ Mansion.

Ling Mohan didn't know that his father was waiting for him at the door. When he entered the palace today, His Majesty took him to the martial arts training ground.

His Majesty personally examined his archery and swordsmanship, as well as his combat capabilities. When he defeated eighteen imperial palace guards, His Majesty appointed him as General of the Left Guard.

When he knocked down the commander of the imperial guards beside His Majesty, His Majesty appointed him as the deputy commander of the capital guard.

He stood in the martial arts arena, thinking of the day on the street when A Yan said that the emperor wanted to summon him.

When the court was dismissed, it was already dark. The cold winter night was desolate and lonely.

Ling Mohan walked to the door of Situ Mansion with the things he brought back from Zuowei Mansion in his hand.

He stood in front of the main gate of Situ Mansion, looking up at the three huge words "Situ Mansion" on the gold-plated plaque.

The doorman of the Situ Mansion was slightly startled when he saw Ling Mohan, then smiled and said, "Second Young Master Ling is here. Are you here to see the master or the young lady?"

"I'm looking for Ah Yan." Ling Mohan said softly. The rustling wind blew up his battle robe. The young and mature general looked serious and solemn.

Four years ago, he had been able to enter and leave the Situ Mansion freely, without even needing to report to the doorman, as if he was returning to his own home.

Now, he is back again, and as Ayan said, he no longer climbs over the wall.

"The young lady has instructed that if Second Young Master Ling arrives, he should go straight in."

The doorman came forward with a smile and respectfully gestured for Ling Mohan to come in.

At this moment, Ling Mohan felt sore in the corners of his eyes and felt like crying.

He smiled at the doorman, held his head high, chest puffed out, and walked step by step into the Situ Mansion.

This was the place where he had been free to play since he was a child. Even if Ling Mohan closed his eyes, he could find Yu Lanxuan where Si Yan lived.

Si Yan had just finished evening training and assigned training tasks for the next half month to Si Ce, Si Zhe and others. After taking a shower, he was in the study reading the news sent from Yayue Pavilion.

Ling Mohan came to the door of Yu Lanxuan. Si Rong heard the noise and hurried out to lead him into the study.

When Si Yan saw the brand new robe Ling Mohan was wearing, he knew that he had been promoted.

"Please sit down." Si Yan's hair was half dry and gently draped over her shoulders. She slowly put down the documents in her hand and looked up at the man opposite her. "A new official should start with three things? Why are you dismissing the court so late?"

Ling Mohan listened to the girl teasing him and calmly sat down on a chair opposite him: "I just had a handover and had some things to deal with, so I came back a little late."

Si Yan looked at the box he was holding: "What's that in your hand?"

"Millet cake." Ling Mohan placed the food box on the desk and slowly opened the lid. "Would you like to try a piece?"

"I won't try it." Si Yan took a look at the pastry inside. It was soft and sticky, a bit like donkey rolls.

Ling Mohan said softly, "This is something a brother's relative brought from his hometown when he came to Beijing to visit. He thought your dozen or so children would like it, so he brought it here."

Ling Mohan saw Si Yan buying osmanthus cake that day, and he sneaked into Situ Mansion at night, and found out that the Si family had more than a dozen children.

He has always been extremely concerned about every move of the Situ Mansion, both in the past and now.

"Then let me thank you on behalf of the children." Si Yan smiled slightly and said to Si Rong, "Give it to the children."

"Yes, Miss." Si Rong took the lunch box and left, leaving only Si Yan and Ling Mohan in the study.

The woman who used to always laugh, make noise, and call him Brother Mo Han, Brother Mo Han, now has a completely different temperament.

Now she is so calm and peaceful, as if nothing can disturb her heart.

"Have you been going to Yayue Pavilion frequently recently?" When Ling Mohan was patrolling the city, he once encountered Si Yan going to Yayue Pavilion. His brothers also encountered her once. Later, he paid special attention and found that this girl went there every day.

"Yeah." Si Yan nodded.

“Is the food there delicious?”

"It's okay. I'll take you to try it some other day." Si Yan answered frankly without hiding anything.

Ling Mohan paused for a moment, then looked up at Si Yan: "Ah Yan is very familiar with Young Master Boya of Yayue Pavilion?"

"I met him recently." Si Yan replied and raised his hand to open the drawer under the desk.

Ling Mohan knew that after Si Yan returned to Beijing, many of his behaviors seemed abnormal to outsiders, and he was worried.

"Recently, there have been rumors in the capital that you have a close relationship with Young Master Boya of Yayue Pavilion." He said in a soft tone and with a calm expression.

"We've only known each other for a few days." Si Yan placed a stack of information he had found in front of Ling Mohan.

Ling Mohan looked down and saw the words "Ya Yue Pavilion" written on the cover. He paused slightly, then slowly opened the document and began to read.

This is an introduction to Yayue Pavilion, which talks about its power.

Ling Mohan immediately understood that this girl wanted to use Yayue Pavilion's information network.

He really didn't expect that this girl was doing such a big thing, nor did he expect that Master Boya of Yayue Pavilion would agree to cooperate with her.

Ling Mohan was silent for a moment, then said to Si Yan, "Ah Yan, I'm afraid someone will gossip about you and embarrass you."

"Don't worry, you'll hear more gossip in the future." Si Yan smiled carefree and replied softly, "But they can't give me embarrassment. As long as I feel comfortable, that's all that matters."

Although the people of Daxuan were relatively open-minded, it was inappropriate for a woman to show up in public, not to mention that she was the fiancée of Prince Yong. Ling Mohan's concern for her was completely normal.

However, Si Yan didn't intend to hide.

At first, people in the capital might not like her, but after a while, they got used to it.

She does her own thing and doesn't care what others think of her.

Ling Mohan nodded without saying anything more. This girl is no longer the same girl she used to be.

Now, whatever she does, she has her own considerations and even has huge and long-term plans, which sometimes even he can't imagine.

"Ayan, the reason His Majesty promoted me today is because of you..."

"It's because of you." Si Yan interrupted him.

Ling Mohan raised his eyes and looked at the girl: "His Majesty mentioned today that you mentioned me twice in front of him."

"If you don't have real ability, it won't work even if I mention it a hundred times."

Ling Mohan didn't say anything. He looked at the woman quietly for a while, then stood up from his chair. "I understand. I'll go back first."

If his mind was still confused before, now he knows what path he should take in the future.

As this girl said, step by step, we will climb higher and higher!

She wants to stand at the pinnacle of power, so he must stand closest to her.

Ling Mohan slowly walked out of Situ Mansion and headed towards home. Suddenly, he saw his old father who had been ill for a long time at the door, and his eyes couldn't help but become moist.

When Ling Yuefeng saw his son's tall figure under the light, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
