Ye Pengcheng finally came back to his senses and nodded in agreement.
"Sheng'er is right, especially the lineage of Prince Yu, we must be on guard."
"However, right now is the critical moment when Prince Yu and the Crown Prince are fighting. The stronger our Ye family is, the more power we will have to help the Crown Prince."
Everyone in the Ye family nodded in agreement. In the next few days, many friends and relatives came to congratulate the family.
There are many people who want to make friends with or marry into the Ye family, and they all try their best to get close to the Ye family.
For a time, the Ye family was in the limelight, which also gave Shangguan Yu, who had just dealt with Han Wenbin, a headache.
Shangguan Yu was upset and had no choice but to summon his trusted subordinates to discuss the matter.
"Your Highness, the Ye family has taken over the Imperial City Guards. If they really lean towards the Crown Prince, that would be bad!"
Yuan Ruguang was a little anxious, and so was Shangguan Yu.
The Han family had some complaints against him because of Han Wenbin's affairs, so they did not speak up.
Shangguan Yu glanced at Han Wenbin's father, Han Zhen.
"Uncle, I really can't do anything about my cousin's situation. I hope you won't blame me."
Han Zhen bowed, "Your Highness, you are too kind. It is the rebellious son's own fault. No one else can be blamed. Your Highness, do not worry about it."
Shangguan Yu sighed, "Logically speaking, my cousin was just executed, so I shouldn't mention it."
"It's just that things have been going too badly lately, so I need a happy event to cheer myself up."
Han Zhen lowered his eyebrows and then nodded.
"I understand. I wonder when the prince plans to marry Wen Jing?"
Shangguan Yu pinched his brows and said, "Then let's do it in three days. No need to make a big fuss, just invite some relatives and friends."
Han Zhen did not object. He knew that Shangguan Yu wanted to use this banquet to test the thoughts of those court officials and, by the way, compete for the limelight of the Ye family.
"In that case, I will go back and inform Wen Jing."
Shangguan Yu nodded, discussed with everyone for a long time, and then let everyone leave.
"Father-in-law, please stay."
Just when everyone was about to leave, Shangguan Yu called Yuan Ruguang.
Yuan Rugang stopped and returned to the hall with Shangguan Yu, somewhat puzzled.
"I wonder what business the prince has with me?"
Shangguan Yu didn't beat around the bush. "Father-in-law, did you save Ye Xinxin?"
Yuan Ruguang was stunned at first, then he laughed.
"Your Highness, please forgive me. Taking her life directly would be too easy for her."
Shangguan Yu frowned, but thinking about what he was going to discuss with Yuan Ruguang next, he wisely didn't say much.
"Well, but Ye Xinxin is a scheming person. Father-in-law, please don't let her take advantage of you."
Yuan Ruguang chuckled and after repeated assurances, Shangguan Yu continued.
"Since my father-in-law knows what's going on, I won't say anything more."
"However, right now, I have something more important that I need my father-in-law's help with."
Yuan Ruguang put away his playful smile and looked at Shangguan Yu with a serious expression.
"We are family, so we should keep our distance. If Your Highness Prince Yu has anything to say, please feel free to tell him."
Shangguan Yu didn't hesitate to speak politely upon hearing this, and said everything that was on his mind.
"Father-in-law, this matter is of great importance. If we are not careful, we may be killed. Therefore, I will only feel at ease if I leave it to you, my lord father-in-law."
Yuan Ruguang frowned and thought for a while, and finally agreed.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'll leave this matter to this old minister."
Shangguan Yu felt much better when he saw that he agreed.
"Thank you so much, father-in-law. I will take Xuemei to visit you personally someday."
Yuan Rugang chuckled, "Your Highness is too polite. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
Shangguan Yu personally sent the person away, and Yuan Ruguang looked extremely satisfied.
At the same time, after briefly thanking the visitors, the Ye family closed their doors and refused to see visitors.
Of course, the Li and Qin families were not included in the thank-you guests. Look, at this moment, Li Zhiming was talking to Ye Pengcheng accompanied by Qin Chuan.
"Brother Li, I'm really sorry to have you come here in person. Originally, this matter should have been handled by Ye himself."
"However, Ye's body is really not up to the task, so I have to trouble Brother Li to come here in person."
Li Zhiming knew that Ye Pengcheng wanted to talk about the marriage between the two families, so he said with a smile.
"Brother Ye, why are you so formal? Besides, you didn't want to get hurt."
Ye Pengcheng smiled faintly, "Thank you, Brother Li, for your understanding."
"I asked Brother Li and Big Brother to come here today, firstly to discuss the marriage between the Ye and Li families, and secondly for the Crown Prince's matter."
Ye Pengcheng's words did not surprise Li Zhiming and Qin Chuan. They were also eager to know the news from Ye Pengcheng, so they came here.
"Pengcheng, stop being polite and tell us about the prince."
Ye Pengcheng nodded and recounted in detail the story of Shangguan Lingyun's battle with Dayu at the border.
"The Third Prince of Dayu has a good relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This trip to the border was most likely planned by them."
"But this is also a good thing. The continued war between the two countries is not conducive to the development of either country."
"Now that the two countries are temporarily at peace, it is convenient for the Crown Prince and the Third Prince of Dayu to seize power."
"And through this epidemic and the border war, His Royal Highness's reputation has also improved significantly."
"Plus, with the news that Prince Yu is not doing well, I'm sure His Majesty's mind has also shifted."
"Otherwise, His Majesty would not have rewarded the Ye family so much after learning that the Ye family and Ye Xinxin had severed their relationship."
