Zhang Tianshi and others ambushed in Wuyinghou Mansion, waiting for Rong Ting to fall into their trap.
In the imperial palace, Ding Chengye and his wife and their youngest son were arranged to live in Shoukang Palace, where the empress dowager lived.
The Queen Mother didn't understand at first, until the eldest princess whispered to her happily, then she said with surprise, "Really?"
The eldest princess asked, "Have you seen Qing Yi come back? He is accompanying his daughter Ding right now."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother said happily, "Great! Then go and make the arrangements first. Don't neglect them."
"We'll prepare a banquet later and ask your mother to come over and help."
The eldest princess nodded and said, "My mother and the imperial aunt are in Songyue Palace and will be here soon."
As the grandfather and grandson were talking, Deng Ye came in and said, "Empress Dowager, Princess, the Emperor is here."
The Queen Mother was surprised and asked, "What is the Emperor doing here?"
Deng Ye hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Emperor said he would take Lord Ding to see Princess Ding for a face reading. Perhaps... he could be of great use to her."
The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth twitched.
It is true that the emperor is worried that Ding Chengye is a villain.
How could she not know her son?
Now he is running the court like crazy, as if he will die tomorrow.
Those who didn't know would think he was paving the way for the prince and preparing for his funeral.
In fact, I was just too excited and wanted to accumulate more merits and go out with my sister-in-law to see the world.
The Queen Mother said to the eldest princess, "Your father is gone, you must not act foolishly anymore."
"Please ask Madam Ding and her young master to come and meet Grandmother."
The eldest princess said, "That's exactly what I thought."
"My father is so stupid, he only knows how to revolve around the Imperial Aunt. I'm different. I'm Qingyi's sister. As long as I act as the matchmaker, even the Imperial Aunt will look up to me. And Qingyi will remember this favor for the rest of his life."
"Although Qingyi is not the Royal Aunt's biological child, I have seen that the Royal Aunt does not treat him as an outsider, but as a junior in the family, just like the Crown Prince and my brothers."
The Queen Mother said, "Your Royal Aunt is a woman of great ambition. How could she bother with children like you?"
"That is Xiao Huaiqing... I really didn't realize at the beginning that he was that kind of person."
The eldest princess said, "That's because you didn't see it. I saw it a long time ago."
"Hypocritical, saying one thing to your face and another behind your back. They'll do anything to protect themselves."
"When I saw him pushing his fifth brother to take the blame when I was little, I knew he wasn't a good person."
The Queen Mother looked at her proud little face and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, our Changle is the smartest and most capable."
"You should go quickly. Don't let Madam Ding think that we are too arrogant. Marrying our daughter off in the future will be like a lamb entering a tiger's mouth. It would be bad to arrange a marriage for her too early."
The eldest princess nodded and went to invite Mrs. Ding.
…
In Songyue Palace, the queen was about to have a personal chat with Lin Yue.
From outside came the Emperor's excited voice, saying, "Come, come, Lord Ding, this is Princess Ding's residence. She is the Imperial Master's last disciple."
"That's amazing! If I could look at your face, I'd definitely know how you died."
"Oh, I was too blunt. I didn't mean to curse Lord Ding. It's just that Princess Ding is truly amazing. Lord Ding won't be disappointed after meeting her."
The Queen stood up suddenly, looked at Lin Yue and said, "Is the Emperor crazy? He brings every adult he catches to you for a look?"
Lin Yue sighed: "I don't know everyone."
The Queen said, "It's alright, sister-in-law. I'll avenge you tonight when he's asleep. I'll stuff his mouth with a stinky sock."
Soon, the emperor came in with Ding Chengye.
It was also the first time that Lin Yue saw this Lord Ding. She found that he was tall, with a refined and elegant appearance, and he was neither humble nor arrogant, and had a particularly good physique.
This is no wonder. He was originally a military general, but in the end he was able to enter the officialdom through the imperial examination.
Lord Ding said, "Your humble servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen and Her Majesty Princess Ding."
"I don't mean to bother you. Please don't blame me, ladies."
The Queen said, "Master Ding is very polite. The Emperor's kindness is hard to refuse, so please accept it."
The emperor was also happy and said, "Yes, don't worry, it will only take a moment."
Then he excitedly asked Lin Yue: "Sister-in-law, what do you think? Is there any possibility for Lord Ding to get promoted and make a fortune?"
Lin Yue: "..."
[Brother, you are the emperor, and you ask me? ?]
The emperor chuckled, "Isn't it that the Minister of War Xia Gang who just came up has been dismissed again?"
"I was just wondering if I could promote Lord Ding?"
"The most important thing is... he can be considered innocent, right?"
Ding Chengye looked terrified: "Your Majesty, I am innocent."
The emperor quickly said, "The innocence I'm talking about is not what you think it is. It's the white as in black and white."
Ding Chengye was almost crying: "I am the white in black and white."
The Emperor: “…” I don’t understand at all.
Lin Yue was speechless.
Looking closely at Ding Chengye's face, he suddenly came across a hidden plot line.
It turned out that in his previous life, Ding Chengye had seen through the corruption of the court early on and retired from the political arena. He returned to his father-in-law's family with his wife and two children very early and never returned to Beijing.
However, he was knowledgeable and wise, and eventually he opened up many new territories for the Miao people in the area under the jurisdiction of his father-in-law and accumulated countless wealth.
This person turned out to be a hidden boss.
Lin Yue said: "The position of Minister of War is well deserved by Lord Ding."
The emperor said happily, "I told you I wouldn't be wrong!"
Queen: “…” Did you see that?
