After leaving court, Ye Shengtang walked forward, asking Eunuch Yuan, "Have the Crown Prince and the people they brought been arranged?"

Eunuch Yuanfu replied, "Your Majesty, rest assured, everything has been arranged!"

"Your Majesty, where would you like to have your breakfast now?"

Ye Shengtang thought for a moment and said, "Let's go see the Empress first and arrange for her to have breakfast there as well!"

"Yes!"

After giving his instructions to the two eunuchs behind him, Eunuch Yuanfu followed the Emperor to the Empress's palace in the inner palace!

The Phoenix Palace is the residence of the Queen of the Yue Kingdom. Just as they arrived at the Chang Le Palace, someone announced, "The Emperor has arrived!"

Ye Shengtang strode into the front hall of the Fengyi Palace. There was no one there, so he went to the back hall. In a side hall of the back hall, he saw the Empress taking care of the six-month-old prince.

"Your Majesty, I respectfully welcome you!"

Empress Li Jinyao, holding her youngest son, quickly stepped forward and bowed along with the eunuchs and maids who were serving her.

Ye Shengtang quickly stepped forward to help Empress Li Jinyao up, saying, "Your Majesty, there's no need for such formalities. As I've said before, it's inconvenient for you to perform the proper greetings while holding the child, so let's skip these empty formalities when we meet."

Why don't you ever listen?

Li Jinyao smiled after hearing this and said:

"Your Majesty, this is just a habit I've had for many years. When I heard you were coming, I was so happy that I forgot what you had said and bowed to you to show my respect. It's just a natural action that's ingrained in my bones."

Ye Shengtang shook his head helplessly. "You! I really can't do anything with you. Come here, let me hug Ling Xuan."

Ye Shengtang stepped forward and took the energetic Third Prince Ye Lingxuan in his hand, weighed him in his hand, and said with a smile, "Oh my, my little prince has gotten heavier again!"

Ye Shengtang walked to the seat, sat down, and held the Third Prince Ling Xuan firmly in his arms. Looking at his chubby appearance, he couldn't help but laugh and tease him.

After holding him for a while, the Empress took him back and had the palace servants carry him away!

After settling her youngest son, the Empress asked, "Your Majesty, have you not had breakfast yet?"

Ye Shengtang nodded and said, "Yes, I came here as soon as I finished the morning court session, and I wanted to have breakfast with the Empress."

As the two were talking, Eunuch Yuan entered shortly afterward and asked, "Your Majesty and Empress, breakfast has been prepared!"

After hearing this, the two went to the dining room together!

After the two finished their meal, the Emperor said, "The Empress, the Crown Prince, and Prince Rui have returned from their studies with their teachers."

"Because they came back late, they should still be resting. Jinxuan should come to visit you later."

Upon hearing this, Li Jinyao's face lit up with a smile, and she exclaimed with delight, "Really? That's wonderful! I haven't seen Jinxuan for a while now, and I miss him terribly."

Seeing the Empress's happy expression, Ye Shengtang couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief. Back then, only he and a very few others knew about Ye Jinxuan and Ye Wuhen's departure from the palace.

They had already kept quiet about it, for fear that the Empress would be worried if she found out. Also, they were afraid that the two children might encounter danger when they went out, so they dared not spread the word.

Fortunately, the children were blessed, and they did gain a lot from their trip back. At first, he wanted to punish the two of them, but since they had special reasons for going out, he decided to let it go.

Then the Empress said, "Why don't we all go to the palace behind the scenes?"

"Let's make her happy too, Your Majesty, what do you say?"

Ye Shengtang was very satisfied with the Empress's arrangement and nodded with a smile, "Good, I will send someone to inform the Crown Prince and Prince Rui in a moment."

Ye Wuhen and Ye Jinxuan were having breakfast in Chenyang Palace. While eating, Ye Jinxuan asked, "Were you also notified that we should go to Cining Palace once we've made the arrangements?"

Ye Wuhen nodded and said, "That's right, that's why I came to find you so early."

After having breakfast, the two prepared to go to Cining Palace. They would have to face it sooner or later anyway, so at least they would have someone with them when they were punished.

As they walked outside, they whispered to each other about what to do. "Weren't you relatively weak before because of premature birth?"

"We can take advantage of this, and as for me, I believe I can get through smoothly by showing off a few more moves. As for being punished, I think there will definitely be some punishment."

Ye Jinxuan glanced at the people following behind him and said in a low voice.

Ye Wuhen nodded helplessly, thinking that he never expected that he would have to endure the family affection he had never experienced in his previous life of over two hundred years. In this life, he would have to endure the supervision of his mother and brother. One can only imagine how bittersweet his feelings were.

Ye Jinxuan suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh right, look, there's also this artifact. It can distract them a bit."

As she spoke, she took out a cell phone from her spatial storage and waved it at Ye Wuhen, "And this is a special edition for the elderly that I asked Ying'er for. It's absolutely useful."

"This screen is big, and it's supported by a stand. It's specially downloaded with some operas that old people like to watch. It's a great tool to fool them!"

"As for the Emperor and Empress, some content specifically for them has been downloaded here. It's what they like to watch now. How about it, not bad, right!"

Ye Jinxuan winked at Ye Wuhen and handed him the caring version suitable for the Empress Dowager.

"This is for the Empress Dowager; you take it and deliver it yourself! I'll deliver the ones for the Emperor and Empress!"
