Just as Jian Yang was brainstorming, a notification came from outside the door—

"Prime Minister Jian has arrived!"

Finally, someone came to the rescue!

Jian Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Jian was about to go to bed when his steward rushed in to report that the Emperor had arrived.

This startled him so much that he sprang out of bed in a flash.

When he rushed into the boudoir, he happened to witness the emperor wiping his daughter's hair.

They are truly a loving couple!

Prime Minister Jian was taken aback.

It turns out the rumors were true; the Emperor and Empress's relationship was indeed excellent!

It seems his career is now secure!

Reaching the pinnacle of life is just around the corner.

Meanwhile, Jian Fei and her daughter, who were under house arrest in the villa, were becoming increasingly agitated.

They had naturally heard the news of the emperor's arrival.

"Mother, I want to go out." Jian Fei looked at Wang Shi eagerly.

Wang knew perfectly well why she had gone out, but she still couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"If your father finds out, my daughter and I will definitely have a terrible time!"

Jian Fei sneered, "Mother, do you know why Father's attitude towards Jian Yang has changed?"

Wang gritted her teeth and said, "Isn't it all because that little hussy has risen to a higher social status and become a phoenix!"

Jian Fei chimed in, "That's right! So as long as I can replace Jian Yang, why would I be afraid that Father won't treat us mother and daughter well?"

Seeing that Madam Wang was still hesitant, Jian Fei twisted her handkerchief and said, "Mother, this is a rare opportunity! Besides, if I enter the palace and become Empress, you will be a first-rank noblewoman, and from then on you can stand tall in front of Father!"

This was too tempting for Ms. Wang, and she immediately nodded in agreement to Jian Fei's request.

On the other side, Prime Minister Jian was thinking of stepping forward to perform a grand salute.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "I have come uninvited, so there is no reason for you to bow to me."

After exchanging pleasantries and pleasantries, the emperor and his ministers finally got to the main topic.

"I wonder what brings Your Majesty to my humble abode so late at night?"

Jian Yang also perked up her ears.

Zhou Jingzhi remained calm. "I have come to escort the Empress back to the palace."

Jian Yang immediately glared at the dog emperor.

You can't stand not exploiting her for a day, can you?

Even capitalists would shed tears upon hearing this.

As a good socialist youth, she firmly opposes capitalist oppression!

Just as Prime Minister Jian was about to nod.

Jian Yang took a deep breath, and the next second, she looked at her father with red eyes.

"Father, didn't you promise your daughter that I could stay at home for a few days to comfort Mother's spirit in heaven?"

Prime Minister Jian then remembered his previous agreement with her and had no choice but to explain to the emperor.

The emperor looked as if he had just realized something.

"Since the Empress is so filial, I should cooperate. In that case, I will stay with the Empress at the Prime Minister's residence for one night, and we will return to the palace together tomorrow morning."

!

Jian Yang cursed inwardly.

This dog emperor, seemingly wise and righteous, actually compressed her planned vacation of several days into just one night.

That's so sneaky!

But Prime Minister Jian refused to speak up for her and only focused on flattering the emperor.

Jian Yangqi knot.

Suddenly, she saw a figure hiding by the window, peeking into the room.

Who else could it be but Jian Fei?

Suddenly, a plan came to her mind!

As soon as Prime Minister Jian left, Jian Yang immediately used the excuse of being hungry to leave the room and head straight for the kitchen, never to return.

Hehe, since Jian Fei is so eager to take the position, let's just grant her wish.

Once she successfully takes over, I'll resign gracefully.

I just hope this younger sister will step up and not keep missing opportunities!

Just as Jian Yang was planning her wonderful life after resigning, a sudden clap of thunder rang out.

The first autumn rain fell.

Indeed, after Jian Yang left, Jian Fei entered the house under the pretext of looking for her sister.

However, the emperor had discovered her existence long before Jian Yang.

Her pretending to enter the house at this moment was naturally within his expectations.

"Your Majesty, this humble woman greets you." Jian Yang blushed and stepped forward, curtsying with her robes drawn.

The emperor said calmly, "No need for formalities."

"Your Majesty, I have offended you in the palace the other day. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." Jian Fei secretly gave the emperor a flirtatious look.

The emperor pretended not to see it.

"I did not take this matter to heart."

"Your Majesty," Jian Fei stepped forward shyly, "I have something to say that I don't think is worth saying or should say."

"It's not appropriate to say that."

Jian Fei: "???"

Why doesn't this person play by the rules?

But she couldn't care less about all that.

"Your Majesty, I have long admired you. I wish to enter the palace like my sister and serve you. Is that alright?"

The emperor's face darkened. He flicked his sleeves, stood with his hands behind his back by the window, and said in a deep voice, "Your sister is the only one in my heart. Don't talk nonsense again in the future, or I will not let you off lightly!"

Tears instantly blurred Jian Fei's vision.

Meanwhile, Jian Yang was squatting at the kitchen doorway, sighing.

Miscalculation!

There are no weather forecasts in this society.

If she had known it would rain this hard tonight, she would have worn an extra layer of clothing before going out.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a sorry state now, shivering under the eaves.

But she didn't dare go back so soon.

Those two might be busy with important business right now; we shouldn't spoil their fun.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and at that moment, Jian Yang finally understood the heartache of the little match girl.

Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly saw what appeared to be servants from the Prime Minister's residence walking towards the kitchen with umbrellas and lanterns.
