In desperation, Prince Huaiyang brought his sister, who had nearly fainted from crying, into the palace. The Emperor, of course, would not agree to a divorce between Xiao Jingyan and Princess Xiyue. The Xiao family, unwilling to see their two children truly motherless, forced Xiyue to choose between the Xiao family and Northern Jin, severing all ties with the chosen party.

Princess Xiyue lowered her head and thought for a moment, then bit her lip and said to Prince Huaiyang, "Brother, I can't leave Silang. I can't lose my son."

"I know." Prince Huaiyang seemed to have anticipated this outcome. What could he do? His sister was completely dominated by Xiao Jingyan and was reluctant to part with this handsome husband who he had finally pursued.

Besides, could she bear to let him abandon her husband and child? She could only make sacrifices. As long as they lived well in Tianyu, then they wouldn't have to have any contact!

"Prince Huaiyang is only coming to Tianyu as an envoy of Northern Jin. He has nothing to do with my wife and me and the Xiao family anymore. Please ask Your Majesty to take back the Princess Mansion. I plan to move back home." Xiao Jingyan pretended not to see the gloomy look on Princess Xiyue's face. After the incident with his niece, the relationship between the Xiao family and the royal family of Northern Jin has become irreconcilable. He must stand on the side of the Xiao family. He would not blame Princess Xiyue if she chose Northern Jin.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Prince Huaiyang was so angry at his own brother-in-law that he could only say this one word.

After sending this group of people away, the emperor chatted with Chen He: "This Xiao family is too cruel. The princess doesn't even want to marry her daughter-in-law. I don't know what's wrong with Ah Chen. Why did he set his sights on their daughter?"

"The prince is so outstanding, the person he chooses must be right." Seeing that the emperor said words of disgust but his facial expression was very gentle, Chen He knew that the old man was just complaining.

The emperor casually picked up a small ornament on the imperial desk and threw it towards Chen He. This bad habit of his was developed during his struggle with Yun Yichen. For this reason, the imperial study often needed to be replenished with things, especially those ornaments that the emperor could easily pick up, which needed to be replaced frequently.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Chen He picked up the treasure with a smile on his face. Everything that came out of the imperial study was good stuff!

"It seems that my brother is in a good mood today!" King Jing swaggered in, found the most comfortable chair, and drank the freshly brewed tea. The emperor was so angry with his younger brother that he turned his head away, trying to ignore him.

After holding on for a short while, the emperor gave in. He had to say what needed to be said.

"How is that girl from the Xiao family doing now? Is Prince Jing's Mansion planning to wait forever like this? What if she doesn't wake up? Wouldn't that delay Achen's life? Others aren't anxious, but as a father, aren't you anxious too?"

"What's the point of me being anxious? Do you think others can control the current Achen?" The four people in Prince Jing's mansion never thought that Xiao Yao would continue to sleep. They all hoped that Lin You could find a way to wake her up.

King Jing didn't think Xiao Yao was unlucky. He was still waiting for his daughter-in-law to give birth to twins, a boy and a girl, or twins! When the time comes, he and his wife will each hold one. Just thinking about that picture makes people yearn for it!

This whole family has been bewitched by that girl! The emperor rolled his eyes at his brother in an indecent manner. Why couldn't he believe that a man would be willing to guard only one woman for his entire life! It's okay for his brother to only accompany a princess now, at least he had other women before, but what about his nephew? Should he remain a virgin for the girl from the Xiao family?

"I'll have the Queen select two women from the palace with outstanding looks and clean family backgrounds and send them to your palace. I'll have them serve Achen in his room at night. If you're afraid that the Xiao family will be unhappy if they find out, you'll blame me. Achen's almost twenty, what should I do if she gets choked up?"

"Are you really going to do this? No regrets?"

"What's there to regret? Maybe when the girl from the Xiao family wakes up, someone will call her mother. What a wonderful thing!" The emperor squinted his eyes, as if he could already see a chubby, soft child staggering towards him.

"It's up to you! I have reminded everyone I should have. I still have things to do in the palace, so I will take my leave first." King Jing drank the tea in the cup in one gulp and left with a wave of his sleeves.

"They will be sent to Prince Jing's mansion tonight. Just do as I say. Remember?"

"It's up to you." After saying these two words, King Jing's men disappeared.

"What does he mean?" The emperor didn't quite understand what his brother meant, so he turned to ask Chen He.

You don’t even know, how can I dare to guess! Chen He had no choice but to tell the truth, but he felt that the emperor was going to fall into the hands of Prince Jing and his son again.

Prince Jing returned to the palace, said hello to his wife, and turned to go to Jinxiu Garden. The whole yard was in an uproar. The prince had not set foot in this yard for several years. Concubine Han and the people below became busy.

"Tell them that they don't have to bother. I'll just say a few words and then leave. Let everyone go out!" King Jing frowned impatiently and picked up a chair away from Concubine Han and sat down.

I want to be alone! The people around Concubine Han went out with a sly smile, not forgetting to considerately close the door for them.

Concubine Han was also very nervous. After all, King Jing had refused to be alone with her for several years. She was expectant, nervous, and restless.

"How's the last thing I asked you to do to find a husband for Ruoxing going on?"

I promised my in-laws that I would clear up all the troubles in Prince Jing's Mansion before my daughter-in-law married in. It has been more than a month since I last told her. If she wants to find it, there should be some clues!

So he was looking for her for this matter! Concubine Han looked at King Jing with resentment. Finding a son-in-law is not like buying vegetables. You have to find the right one. My daughter has so many requirements, even the appearance of his teeth. How can I find one in such a short time?

Yun Ruoxing had taken a fancy to Kong Xuzhe a while ago, but after trying for a while she got nothing in return. Recently she has been talking about how good the grandson of Princess Deqing was. As soon as Concubine Han came to the palace, she was severely reprimanded by the Empress Dowager. The result can be imagined.

"I will give you another month. If you still can't find a good son-in-law that meets your requirements, I will come to help you think of a solution. Remember, you only have one month." King Jing didn't drink a sip of tea or eat a piece of snack. It took him about an incense stick of time from the time he came to the time he left.

He returned to his wife and had dinner with her. When he saw that his children were not there, he knew that they had gone to Xiao's house together.

"Your Highness, Princess, someone from the palace has arrived." Huang Jian reported outside the door.

"You come so quickly." King Jing smiled and thought to himself, "Brother Royal has already reminded you. Don't blame me if you don't want to listen."

My son is so angry now that he has no place to vent. It would be strange if he didn't take the opportunity to cause trouble. I have never seen him provoke easily.

"Just do as the emperor wishes, but you must send someone to watch over the prince and don't let anything harmful to his body be allowed in his room." If the son was willing, that would be one thing, but if he was forced, that would be another.

Yin Qianhua was a little confused by these two people. She looked at them with puzzled eyes. Who could tell her what was going on?

Huang Jian received the order and went down to arrange the people coming to the palace, while King Jing whispered about the emperor's plan.

After hearing what her husband said, Yin Qianhua was about to stop him. She didn't believe Xiao Yao would continue to sleep. As long as Lin You came, everything would be fine. Her son had promised the Xiao family that he would only marry one wife in his life and never find a second woman. If they knew about this, it would be bad news.

"Do you have so little confidence in our son? Sit down. This isn't such a bad idea. It will let the Xiao family know how determined our son is to Ping An, and it will also let our brother and mother see that this method won't work on our son."

"What if..." What if my son really accepts those two women? How will the marriage with the Xiao family go on?

"That's something he needs to resolve on his own. There's no point in us speculating here. This is also a kind of training and test for him."

"Yes, you men will not suffer any loss no matter what." Yin Qianhua slapped her husband's outstretched hand. She couldn't let them do that. If her son really couldn't control himself, she would stop him at the last moment. Since she had chosen Ping'an as her daughter-in-law, she must be on guard against those who came to cause trouble.

King Jing rubbed his hands while breathing in. "That was too harsh!" The back of his hand was red. He hadn't said anything! Besides, even if this kind of test didn't happen today, who could guarantee it wouldn't happen someday? It would be better to have it happen right under his nose so his son would know what was going on and wouldn't be so flustered when he encountered it in the future.

The Yun Chen brothers and sisters came back after having dinner at the Xiao family. They personally sent their sister back to the yard and said good night to King Jing and his wife. Yun Yifan then took Xiao Anzi back to his own yard.

"Why is the yard so dark today?" Xiao Anzi muttered to himself as he quickened his pace towards his master's "Su Yue Zhai".

Yun Yichen was thinking about something and didn't notice Xiao An's sudden disappearance. He stood outside and waited for a while. Seeing that no one opened the door, he pushed it open himself.

The room was dim, which reminded him of the first night Xiao Yao fell asleep and the time when he entered her room. He didn't feel comfortable looking around her room carefully that day, but as he went there more often later, he couldn't help but look around.

The little girl, like herself, had kept her room neatly decorated. Books and writing brushes filled the entire table, a small embroidery frame faced the window, and her own handwriting and drawings lined the walls. It wasn't until now that I realized she was an exceptional calligrapher of plum blossom-shaped seal script. Her room didn't have any particularly bright colors, instead dominated by various shades of purple and blue, creating a sense of calm the moment one entered.

There were only a few decorations in her room, the most eye-catching being a potted plant. The maids said that she had also raised flowers at first, and the Marquis was willing to let his own treasures be entrusted to his daughter to care for. However, every pot she raised died, and eventually the Marquis refused to part with them, so he found two potted plants from outside and gave them to his daughter to do whatever she wanted with.

Yun Yifan couldn't help but curl his lips at the thought. It seemed he would have to move the precious flowers and trees in the palace out of Suyuezhai. It would be nice to accompany her in raising morning glories. They would bloom everywhere without much care.
