But speaking of this princess, she is also a character.

The princess was Emperor Xuan's younger sister. She was over forty years old and still unmarried. Although she was pretty, she never went out and gradually faded out of people's sight in the princess's mansion.

But because of Ren Minghao, the princess actually left home and went to the palace to ask Emperor Xuan to marry Ren Minghao.

Emperor Xuan agreed without even thinking about it.

The two of them made the decision hastily without asking the person concerned for his or her opinion.

In the end, the marriage ended with Ren Minghao being ridiculed by everyone.

From then on, Ren Minghao only said that he was an editor of the Hanlin Academy and never mentioned the matter of being a son-in-law.

But this time he came to Jinyou in person to pick a fight, so don't blame Jinyou for not showing him mercy.

"Oh, who did I think it was? It turns out to be the princess's husband~ In that case, I should call you uncle..."

As he said this, Jinyou bowed and saluted, which instantly made Ren Minghao's face turn purple with anger.

Several ministers of the same age as Ren Minghao burst out laughing, but then covered their mouths to stop talking in order to avoid hurting their dignity. Even Cui Guangdao coughed to hide his laughter.

"You! How can you be considered a relative to me? You're just a wild child picked up because no one wanted you!"

"Ahem!" Cui Guangdao's face instantly turned gloomy. "Your Majesty, this is wrong."

The word "son-in-law" made Ren Minghao so angry that his face turned blue. He pointed at He Jinyou and then at Cui Guangdao, and was so angry that he couldn't say a word.

"Humph! You're still bullying people at your age. You really have no shame!"

Mu Qian, who had been mute the entire time, suddenly spoke up and mocked Cui Guang, "Let alone the fact that this is just a quarrel between juniors, even if Lord Ren is the princess's husband, you can't blame him!"

Ren Minghao: “…” So I have to scold him for turning around, right?

At this time, Su Yanshen jumped out to smooth things over. "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, it would hurt the harmony." He looked up at the gradually shifting sun and said, "It's almost noon, prepare to enter the palace."

After the three cabinet ministers spoke one after another, no one dared to stir up trouble again.

While waiting, Xiao Que'er came and went. When the Meridian Gate was wide open, she came to Jinyou and whispered, "Prince, she's here."

Jinyou nodded, his face calm and flawless.

As early as when a group of people were discussing state affairs, Xiao Que'er took the poisonous insect to find Princess Wanqi, implanted the poison into her, and brought her over as a maid.

At this time, Princess Wanqi was standing with Wen Yan, as inconspicuous as many servants, so no one noticed her.

"Okay, let's go into the palace together later."

At noon, the main gate opened and the eunuch leader Huang Guanjing led several young eunuchs out of the palace.

He stepped forward, flicked his whisk, and bowed. "Excuse me for waiting, my lords. The sedan chair is ready for you. Please follow me."

No one dared to disrespect Huang Guanjing, and they all agreed and got on the sedan chair and went into the palace.

Huang Guanjing took the adults to Fengxian Hall to meet Emperor Xuan, but He Jinyou had no official position, so he was carried to the palace of Concubine Chen in a sedan chair.

Xiao Yunzhen was taken back to the palace as soon as he arrived at the palace gate. At this moment, he was being affectionate with He Zhiyi, and was amused by He Zhiyi and giggled.

But if you ignore his constant complaints, it will be a harmonious scene of loving mother and filial son.

"Your Majesty, the Prince Regent has arrived." He Zhiyi's maid Jiyun reported.

He Zhiyi paused teasing Xiao Yunzhen, and then calmly handed Xiao Yunzhen to the nanny beside her.

"Pass it on."

Jinyou received the oral order and only brought Princess Wanqi into the palace.

Concubine Chen sat upright in the main seat, no longer as lazy as before, but dignified and reserved.

"Nephew pays his respects to aunt."

Princess Wanqi also followed Jinyou in bowing and saluting.

"Get up, sit down, and serve tea to the prince."

After the palace maid poured tea for Jinyou, He Zhiyi waved her hand, and then all the palace maids and eunuchs filed out, but Princess Wanqi did not move.

He Zhiyi looked at Wanqi and frowned, "Why don't you leave?"

"Aunt, she can't leave yet."

He Zhiyi frowned even more and asked Jinyou, "Why?"

Jin You stood up slowly and led the person to He Zhiyi, saying slowly, "This person is Princess Wanqi, the princess sent by Yanzhi Kingdom to marry into the royal family. The princess is alone and wants to seek some help from the palace and her aunt. When she enters the palace in the future, her aunt and the princess can look after each other."

He Zhiyi's hands gripped the corner of the table with a little force, but she had to put on a kind smile.

"Oh? How do you know Princess Wanqi is going to join the harem? What if the emperor is wise enough to give her to a prince or a minister?"

There was obvious jealousy in his words, and Jinyou shook his head in disappointment.

He Zhiyi is stupid after all. Her father likes her and chooses to let her stay in the palace probably because of her bloodline.

I had explained it so clearly to her some time ago, and I thought that even if she couldn't bring down the queen in one go, she could still take some action.

But now it seems that He Zhiyi did nothing, and even seemed to have forgotten what he said.

He is truly a hopeless person!

Jinyou was extremely disappointed. If he expected He Zhiyi to work hard, he might as well support Princess Wanqi directly.

He didn't even call her "Auntie" anymore, but directly addressed He Zhiyi as "Mother":

"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince has recovered greatly after recuperating in the palace these days. But the divine doctor also said that if His Highness were to suffer such a calamity again at such a young age, it would not be so easy to cure. After all, His Highness is the child of Your Highness and the Emperor, and he cannot live in the palace forever. Does Your Highness wish for His Highness to live a life of mediocrity? Are You willing for His Highness to be an idle prince?"

Jinyou's words were so blunt that not only did He Zhiyi's face turn pale, but even Princess Wanqi frowned.

He Zhiyi tightly grasped the handkerchief, and the back of her hand lost color from the force.

"What do you mean? Are you saying..."

"Hush..." Jinyou raised his finger to his lips, "Your Majesty, just know it in your heart."

He leisurely walked back to his seat and sat down, gently twisting the tea lid to scrape off the foam, and said nonchalantly, "The Empress and the Emperor are a young couple, and they are deeply in love. The five legitimate princes have already made her invincible. If the Empress wishes to make further progress, she will have to find another way."

Jin You turned to look at He Zhiyi, "Now that we have found the right people for you, if you still don't care about anything, I think your father will be disappointed in you..."

He gently loosened his fingers that were gripping the teacup, and the lid hit the cup with a crisp sound, which struck the hearts of both of them, as if it brought some heaviness.

He Zhiyi's heart was beating as fast as a drum. She took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in her heart, and spoke slowly.

"I understand. For Zhen'er, I will also climb up. But do you really think that the emperor doesn't know what the queen did? What can I do alone in the palace? I can't..."

"Didn't I already send you some help?" Jin You frowned, looking at He Zhiyi with impatience on his face. "If you still feel you are alone and helpless, then do your best to help Princess Wanqi."

Wanqi is ambitious and obedient, much better than He Zhiyi, that stupid woman!

He Zhiyi was really angry at Jinyou's words. She stood up suddenly, pointed at Jinyou's nose, and trembled all over: "He Jinyou! I am your aunt! She is an outsider! You!"

"Outsider? You know exactly whether you have any relationship with me or not. My father is not in the capital right now, so I, the prince, have the final say on everything! If you behave yourself, you will have a good life in the future. But if you disobey and dare to make any small moves, you know the consequences!"
