From the moment they entered the room, the three ministers dared not look at the princess too closely. Most of the time, all they could see was the hem of her long red dress.

At this moment, the eldest princess suddenly walked up behind them. They only dared to glance at her out of the corner of their eye, but their bodies remained facing the direction where the eldest princess had originally sat, and they dared not move.

Until Meng Qingqian's clear and crisp voice rang out.

"My three ministers, I have some good news to tell you today."

Only after hearing Meng Qingqian speak did the three dare to turn around and face her, saying, "Your Highness, we offer our congratulations."

At this moment, they discovered that, apart from Meng Qingqian's long dress, there was also an official's robe in their field of vision.

Meng Qingqian smiled and said, "There's no need for congratulations. Look up and greet your old friend."

The three looked up and were surprised to find that a minister dressed in the robes of a third-rank official was standing next to Meng Qingqian.

Lu Liang, Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial!

Isn't Lüliang from Han Wenxin's side? How come he...

Meng Qingqian stretched out her slender hand and gently patted Lü Liang's shoulder.

"Lord Lü has always been a pillar of our dynasty. His vision, ability, and talent are all first-rate. From now on, you are all friends, so there is no need to worry about anything. You can visit each other often."

As Meng Qingqian patted his back, Lü Liang's waist bent higher and higher. After the princess finished speaking, he bowed to the three ministers and said, "My lords, we are all friends from now on. Your humble servant is willing to serve Your Highness together with you."

All three were involved in court politics, so how could they not know what the defection of Lü Liang, the prime minister's confidant, meant?

Li Gongqin said, "Congratulations, Your Highness."

Huang Buren said: "Your Highness is wise."

Yang Xingguang said, "Your subject, Yang Zhe, and other members of the Yang clan are determined to follow Your Highness to the death and serve the country!"
