If it weren't for the benefits and the fact that his son would get a share, Jiang Ying really wanted to use his eloquence to have a good talk with the emperor!

Of course, you may not win.

When someone said, "The imperial decree cannot be disobeyed," she was at a loss as to what to do.

So it was still wise to know the current situation, but she kept a trace of caution, "Your Majesty, the eldest son of the Mo King must be my daughter's son, right?"

The emperor laughed heartily upon hearing this. "I knew you, a woman, wouldn't suffer any loss. How about this? On the outside, I'll draft the imperial edict to confer the title of king, and on the inside, I'll write you a secret note. If your brother refuses someday, you can just hold my secret note and press his head to make him submit."

When Jiang Ying heard this, he thought, "Hey, that's great!"

As for whether she agrees to this, the secret note is in her hands and she has the final say.

On the side, little Yan Zhi, who looked like an exquisite ornament, suddenly smiled at the emperor with his eyes narrowed in joy.

[Hahahaha, Uncle Huang is really good. I like the pit he dug for my scumbag dad~]

[Mother, since he is so kind, please save him and don't let him die too early.]

[Otherwise, I'll lose some of the fun of watching Uncle Huang's head glow green...]

Jiang Ying looked up at the sky and seriously suspected that his monkey son's truest thoughts should be the latter sentence.

The agreement was reached, and Jiang Ying took his son back. From his waistband, he took out a black lotus-wrapped seal.

She said sincerely, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince is ignorant, and this humble servant did not mean to do anything. I am deeply terrified to return such a valuable item intact."

"What is this?" The emperor pretended to be stupid.

Jiang Ying played along, "The eldest prince gave this to me as a gift—the Queen's personal seal. It's not that Prince Mo deliberately refused to return it, but something unexpected happened to us after we left the palace that day, which delayed its return."

He didn't mention Qi Ren at all. This was not a responsibility he could bear.

Why bother?

The emperor and Huang Mingquan exchanged a glance, as if suddenly realizing something. "Oh, I see. Since it belongs to the queen, you, the future Princess Mo, can go to the queen and return it in person."

Jiang Ying, “…”

Cursing: What we are returning is a seal, not a ball, why are everyone kicking it around!

The emperor was kind enough to let Xiaoxuanzi take the mother and son to Kunning Palace.

As soon as the person left, the emperor curled his lips and said, "Huang Mingquan, do you think she just took the purse out of the child's crotch?"

He is the emperor! How polite is it to not talk about whether it is dirty or not?

Eunuch Huang lowered his head and almost laughed out loud when he heard this. Fortunately, he had served the emperor many times and had become very skilled at holding back his laughter.

He raised his head and said seriously, "It can't be? Your Majesty, maybe you saw it wrongly. Princess Mo just hid the seal on the young master."

At most, it's hidden... a little tricky.

"Ha." The emperor sneered, walked up the steps, and looked down at Eunuch Huang. "Even you are speaking for her, right? I haven't even issued the imperial edict to confer the title of Prince Mo, and you old man, you keep calling her Princess Mo so easily! Don't think I don't know, she is a good doctor and saved your life, and you are grateful to her! Let me ask you, if one day, her life and mine are in danger at the same time, who will you help?"

Eunuch Huang, “…?”

Why does the Emperor suddenly seem jealous? Such a strong sour smell!

He instantly woke up and said cleverly, "Look at what Your Majesty said. Is there any need to ask this? I am Your Majesty's servant in life and Your Majesty's ghost in death. Naturally, everything is for Your Majesty first. Not only will I stick close to Your Majesty, I will also ask Princess Mo to help save Your Majesty. As Your Majesty said, she is a good doctor and is much more useful than me in saving people."

These words made the emperor very happy and he no longer had any grudges.

Instead, he stroked his chin and pondered, "Hmm...you do make sense. It seems that I can't offend her. I have to be tolerant of her, lest she abandon me at the critical moment."

"She doesn't dare."

When Eunuch Huang finished speaking, Jiang Ying was already in the Queen's Palace.

The one who came to greet her was Aunt Liuqin, who served the Queen. She was delicate and capable, and her smile gave people a very comfortable feeling.

Neither too warm nor too distant.

"The Queen knew Miss Jiang would be coming, so she asked us to prepare tea, snacks, and the favorite toys of a child of the young master's age."

It was taboo in the palace to play with swords and knives, so the toys that the eldest and second princes played with were mostly made of cloth, which were not as realistic as modern dolls. It was easy to get bored of them after a long time.

Then there are toys like rattles that make sounds to attract children's attention.

Not to mention Xiao Yanzhi, even Jiang Ying felt that it was boring after watching it.

Sure enough, when Liu Qin used the rattle to tease little Yan Zhi, the expression on his face was full of disgust.

[Hmph! No, childish!]

[Where's the eldest prince? He's still the funniest. Let's see if this little fool who used the Queen's private seal to buy snacks for his mother got a good beating from his mother, the Queen Mother.]

[Hehe, if this kid were my son, I would definitely give him a spanking!]

Jiang Ying looked calm, but he was still amused inside.

Complaints: Not only is his own stinky son wishful thinking, but he is also fanciful. No matter how stupid the prince of the National People's Congress is, he can't let a half-year-old baby be his father, right?

Raising her eyes, she didn't beat around the bush and stated her purpose directly, "Aunt Liuqin, I'm here to return the Queen's seal. When the eldest prince gave it to me that day, he told me to take a look at it when I got home, so I didn't notice it for a moment.

"Then an accident happened, and Prince Yan is still bedridden. So it wasn't that he was delaying the return intentionally, but he simply didn't have time."

As he said this, just like in the Yangxin Palace, he reached out and pulled it out from his son's waistband.
