The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

After returning home, Shen Leyan immediately went to the study to find her father. She thought that she might not be able to help Emperor Yong'an much, but she could learn more from her father and ask her father to lend a helping hand to the emperor.

In fact, Shen's father had originally been loyal to Emperor Yong'an, but the emperor hadn't told him the general plan yet. He just had a vague feeling that something big was about to happen in Zhaojing...

Shen Leyan was grinding ink in the study room, pretending to be nonchalant as she asked, "Dad, did your daughter hear that General Ye will be arriving in Zhaojing soon?"

Father Shen nodded and asked with some confusion, "Why is Yan'er suddenly concerned about the Ye family's affairs?"

"My daughter just heard someone mention it at the banquet today. I'm a little curious. If General Ye returns to the capital victorious, will the eldest prince's power surpass that of the crown prince?"

"I, your father, am not sure about this, but because the Ye family returned victoriously, the Imperial Concubine specifically asked the Emperor to release the eldest prince from his confinement."

Shen Leyan was a little surprised and said, "The eldest prince's house arrest has been lifted, but what about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"The Crown Prince was originally only sentenced to a month of confinement, but he has now returned to court!"

"However, after the last lesson, the eldest prince has become much more restrained and knows how to hide his edge."

Father Shen glanced at Shen Leyan with some concern as he spoke, "Although the situation in the court seems harmonious on the surface, everyone is secretly trying to win over and cultivate their own forces."

"I'm still a little worried that someone might take advantage of your marriage..."

"Le Bai is a man. No matter who he marries in the future, it will always be within his own family. So, what I am most worried about is your marriage, Yan'er..."

This was the first time that Mr. Shen had spoken to her so earnestly about this matter. Originally, it was left to Mrs. Shen to decide. Although he was also concerned, he had never been so anxious.

Shen Leyan knew her father's worries, and she felt a little guilty for making her father worry. At this moment, she really wanted to tell her father the truth...

Just as she was hesitating, Shen's mother suddenly came over, carrying a bowl of medicine. She smiled and said, "It turns out that Yan'er is back. Mother was wondering why your father hadn't returned to his room to drink the medicine yet."

"What medicine is this? Dad, are you sick?" Shen Leyan asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, Yan'er. You just caught a slight cold. Daddy is just pretending to be sick so as not to get involved in the disputes in the court!" Father Shen explained with a smile.

Shen Leyan observed carefully for a while and saw that her father did not look sick, so she felt relieved.

Mother Shen watched him finish the bowl of medicine, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Why didn't you say that this medicine was bitter today?"

"Madam..." Father Shen looked at Mother Shen helplessly. She knew that he was pretending to be miserable in order to improve their relationship and make her feel distressed, but she actually teased him like this...

Although Shen Leyan has become accustomed to the way her father and mother get along, she still wants to sigh at the love between the couple!

She felt as if she was a huge light bulb at the moment. No wonder her mother wanted her and her brother to attend the birthday party. It turned out that they wanted to spend some time alone at home!

Mother Shen raised her eyebrows slightly and asked in confusion: "What were you two discussing just now? Why did I hear something about marriage?"

"Dad is worried that someone will take advantage of my marriage to my brother." Shen Leyan suddenly remembered that there was another important event that they didn't know about yet. She said excitedly: "Something big happened at the banquet today. Dad and Mom will definitely be shocked if they know!"

"Oh? Then tell me about it!" Shen's mother's curiosity was aroused. She felt that every time the brother and sister came back from outside, they could bring her unexpected news.

"Daddy also wants to know if there's anything that can surprise me."

Shen Leyan deliberately kept the secret and said, "The Empress Dowager and the Emperor also came to attend the eldest princess' birthday banquet today. The Empress Dowager even publicly granted her a marriage!"

"There is such a thing. I didn't expect that the eldest princess would invite both the emperor and the empress dowager. It seems that the relationship between the eldest princess and the empress dowager is really very good." Mother Shen said in surprise.

Shen Leyan nodded and continued, "Something even more unexpected happened today!"

Shen Leyan told her father and mother what happened in the Princess's Mansion today, especially the dull expression on the Princess's face when she asked Lord Shangguan to come over to take care of household affairs, and the scene where the other ladies were trying to hold back their laughter. She described it in vivid detail.

Father Shen was delighted after hearing this. "Shangguan Rui certainly never thought that the reputation he valued most in his life would be ruined by the woman he loved the most."

"Yes, although every family has its own problems, I never thought that Lord Shangguan would act so absurdly. Yueyin is really not an easy child..."

Shen's mother couldn't understand why Shangguan Rui had such a sensible and filial daughter like Yueyin, but he didn't know how to be content and instead treated her like this.

"Fortunately, the Empress Dowager came, otherwise Lord Shangguan would have wanted to exonerate Shangguan Yuefei. However, he began to regret it after learning the truth."

"After discussing with the Empress Dowager, the Emperor also took this opportunity to arrange Sister Yueyin's marriage."

"What? The Queen Mother granted Yueyin a marriage in public?"

Mother Shen's thoughts were already a little out of sync. Her mood was sometimes angry, sometimes distressed, and sometimes relieved. However, at this moment, she was most worried about Shen Lebai...

Seeing her mother's worried expression, Shen Leyan stopped playing tricks and said happily, "What are you thinking about, mother? Sister Yueyin's arranged marriage partner is of course my brother!"

"Really? Did the Queen Mother really grant Yue Yin and Le Bai a marriage?" Mother Shen said in disbelief.

"Of course it's true. How could I joke about such a thing?" Shen Leyan took Shen's mother's hand and shook it.

"Besides, the marriage was granted in public. Now everyone knows about it. The imperial decree should be issued in the next two days. Sister Yueyin will be my sister-in-law from now on!"

After hearing this, Shen's mother felt relieved and smiled, "That's great!"

"Yueyin is indeed a good girl, and she and Lebai happen to be in love with each other."

But Father Shen, who was standing by, was not so happy. He had finally felt proud once again, but he did not expect that he would turn around and put pressure on his son again, becoming Le Bai's father-in-law...

He sighed inwardly. He felt uncomfortable at the thought of becoming a relative of Shangguan Rui in the future. However, his daughter was a good person. He had often heard his wife and daughter mention her.

Forget it... Le Bai will just get used to it. He believes in their vision, and in the end, Father Shen also accepts it with pleasure.
