The queen frowned and looked at her son, and suddenly felt a little funny.
"You schemed and schemed, but in the end you were defeated by Xiaoxiao."
"The Queen Mother doesn't have any method, but your father's imperial decree can buy you some time."
"From now on, you can only rely on yourself."
"Xiaoxiao is a good girl. Mother hopes you can treat her well."
"As long as she sees your determination, I believe she will accept you sooner or later."
Shangguan Lingyun nodded and told the queen another thing.
"Mother, Xiaoxiao wants to be with someone for the rest of her life. I can give it to her, but..."
The queen murmured to herself, "What a lifelong couple! Xiaoxiao is indeed not an ordinary woman."
"Lingyun, you've also seen how hard Mother's life has been."
"Actually, Mother has always wanted to tell you that for a woman, status really isn't that important."
"Without emotional support, marriage is just a transaction."
"Whether it's power or status, it's all the same."
"The others showed up just to get a piece of the pie in this deal."
"My Queen Mother is destined to be unhappy in this life. I don't want Xiaoxiao to have your child and follow in your footsteps."
Shangguan Lingyun understood and stopped talking to the Queen.
"Mother, I have caused you great worry. Don't worry, I know what to do."
The Queen nodded and said, "Since His Majesty will allow the two children to enter the palace tomorrow, remember to bring them to show their mother."
"Your father only granted the marriage but didn't give any reward, but your mother can't do the same."
Shangguan Lingyun nodded, then said goodbye and left.
The Ye family was busy trying to gather information and did not rest until late at night.
Just when they thought nothing would happen tonight, Eunuch Yu arrived with an imperial edict.
"General Ye, please let Ye Xiaoxiao receive the order."
Ye Pengcheng looked at Eunuch Yu with some embarrassment.
"Father, please forgive me. Xiaoxiao just gave birth and I'm afraid she can't get out of bed right now."
"I wonder if this old minister can do this for me?"
Eunuch Yu frowned and shook his head, and Ye Pengcheng was helpless.
"Then could you please move to the side yard?"
Eunuch Yu did not refuse, "Thank you, General Ye, for leading the way."
Everyone came to the side courtyard. Ye Pengcheng first asked Tianxuan to make sure that Ye Xiaoxiao had woken up, and then he took Eunuch Yu in.
"Miss Ye, His Majesty has issued an order. Considering your special circumstances, you are allowed to lie down and receive the order."
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled faintly and nodded, and Eunuch Yu unfolded the imperial edict.
Everyone in the Ye family was about to listen carefully, but they heard Ye Xiaoxiao's inner voice.
What the hell is the old emperor doing? Is he trying to snatch the child for Shangguan Lingyun?
Ye Xiaoxiao never thought that Shangguan Du would arrange a marriage for her.
When Eunuch Yu finished reading the imperial edict, she was still in a daze.
"Miss Ye, please accept the order."
Ye Xiaoxiao took the imperial edict stiffly, congratulated Eunuch Yu, and then left.
Ye Pengcheng personally sent the person away and gave him a big purse.
"Eunuch Yu, what does His Majesty mean?"
Eunuch Yu smiled faintly, "General Ye, it means exactly what it says."
"Your Majesty has not had many children, and now your eldest daughter has given birth to two. Your Majesty is considering this for the sake of the children."
"However, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the efforts made by His Highness."
"You have no idea how heated the argument between His Highness and His Majesty was yesterday. His Majesty almost deposed Your Highness from the position of Crown Prince."
"But fortunately, His Majesty finally regained some sanity, which led to this imperial decree."
"General Ye, His Majesty will see the two children tomorrow, so please make preparations in advance."
Ye Pengcheng was shocked. "Thank you for your advice, eunuch. I will take you there."
Eunuch Yu naturally did not want Ye Pengcheng to thank him, but wanted Ye Pengcheng to be grateful to Shangguan Lingyun.
Ye Pengcheng also understood, but he couldn't care less about it at the moment.
I returned to Ye Xiaoxiao's room and saw that she looked very unhappy.
Madam Ye was a little worried, "Xiaoxiao, what should we do?"
"How come your child became the crown prince overnight?"
Ye Fan also said: "Yes, Xiaoxiao, what's going on between you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Why did His Majesty suddenly grant you marriage?"
Although everyone in the Ye family knew some things, this was a good opportunity to make it clear.
Ye Sheng looked at his parents and brothers' superb acting skills and secretly admired them.
Ye Xiaoxiao had a headache. "Dad, Mom, brothers, I want to be alone."
Everyone was a little stunned, and then they remembered that Ye Xiaoxiao had just given birth to a child, and looked at her with some guilt.
"Yes, yes, take a rest first. We'll talk later after you've rested."
After saying that, Ye Pengcheng led everyone away. Ye Xiaoxiao sighed and looked at Tianxuan.
"It seems that we can't leave for the time being."
Tianxuan didn't care, "Wherever the young lady is, that's Tianxuan's home."
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly, "You are quite open-minded."
"It's just that this palace isn't that easy to stay in."
"After this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be as free as I am now."
Tianxuan didn't think it was a big deal, "Miss, don't worry too much."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also lives in the Imperial Palace, and he appears every now and then."
Ye Xiaoxiao was speechless. She knew that Tianxuan would notice every time Shangguan Lingyun came.
But he didn't say it, so Tianxuan didn't mention it.
