Although His Majesty has seven princes, only two have entered the court. Those in high positions can remain calm, but those in lower positions cannot hold back after observing for a period of time.

Some wanted to make themselves known to the Second Prince, while others were more straightforward and directly offered their allegiance.

Faced with people of different intentions, Ye Jingming treated them all equally. He neither ignored their advances nor became overly familiar with them, displaying remarkable composure, unlike a thirteen-year-old child at all.

Every few days, after finishing his shift, he would go to the East Palace to find Ye Jingchen and tell him who had been in contact with him and to what extent.

After Ye Jingchen learns the names of those people, he will investigate them. When Ye Jingming comes again, Ye Jingchen will work with him to analyze the other party's abilities, character, and stance based on the information obtained from the investigation, so as to judge whether the other party is worth befriending.

Yan Xu was very fond of his disciple Ye Jingming. When working in the government office, he would usually bring Ye Jingming with him and personally teach him.

He taught Ye Jingming not just by instilling his own ideas and ways of dealing with people, but also by caring about Ye Jingming's opinions. The two mainly discussed their ideas.

Those around him assumed that Yan Xu was only being polite because of Ye Jingming's status as a prince. Some even gossiped behind his back that "Master Guzhu" had become adept at flattery after entering the court and was no longer arrogant or direct.

When these comments reached Yan Xu's ears, he didn't explain anything, he just laughed it off.

When Ye Jingming first entered the Ministry of Personnel, although everyone in the ministry treated him with great respect because of his status as a prince, they were also inevitably tempted to deceive him because of his young age. However, Ye Jingming was a quick learner and only suffered a few minor setbacks at the beginning. He quickly and quietly fought back and soon gained a foothold in the Ministry of Personnel.

From initially needing to be recognized as a prince to eventually making people forget his princely status, Ye Jingming only took one year.
