Shangguan Lingyun was not worried and looked at Ye Xiaoxiao with a smile on his face.
"Xiaoxiao, if it weren't for you, he would have died long ago. How could he have had the chance to avenge himself?"
"However, he is a caring person. Since he said he would follow you in the future, he will definitely not do anything to you."
"As long as you continue to live in Daxia, he will never provoke a war between the two countries."
"So, Xiaoxiao, for the sake of peace between the people of our two countries, you must not leave your husband so easily."
Seeing his frivolous look, Ye Xiaoxiao glared at him unhappily.
"I know myself well, so please speak to me nicely."
Shangguan Lingyun chuckled, then said seriously.
"Don't worry, Dugu Xin is not an ambitious person. He is not fighting for that position."
"It's just to avenge himself and win honor for his mother."
Hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh.
She really couldn't say whether some things in this feudal society were good or bad.
And in the Dayu Kingdom, Dugu Xin, who was being cared about by the two men, was also sighing at this moment.
Ever since he replaced those soldiers who were not loyal to Prince Dayu.
Those soldiers were like unwanted children who suddenly found their family and were completely devoted to him.
Holding the slightly yellowed letter in his hand, Dugu Xin fell into deep thought.
His deputy came out and replied respectfully.
"Your Highness, the Imperial Tutor's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion have each sent a visiting card."
Dugu Xin put away the letter in his hand and looked at his deputy general Han Yu.
Han Yu was his confidant brought from the No. 1 Manor Under Heaven, and was once the second in command of the No. 1 Manor Under Heaven.
"These two old foxes were originally the Crown Prince's lackeys. Now that the Crown Prince is dead, they're switching sides so quickly."
There was also a hint of disdain in Han Yu's eyes, but he still spoke to the point.
"The Crown Prince has suppressed the other princes to the point of being powerless. Now that the Crown Prince is dead, Your Highness has naturally become their only choice."
"Your Highness, do we want to return them?"
Dugu Xin frowned and thought for a long time before nodding.
"There must be quite a few people like them. Instead of entertaining them one by one, why not hold a banquet and let them all come together?"
"I haven't made a public appearance since returning to Dayu. Now it seems like the time has come."
Han Yu did not object, but he looked at Dugu Xin with some worry.
"Your Highness, these courtiers are fine, but what about their female relatives?"
"Although there is no prince's consort in your house, it would be inappropriate if all the people in your house were maids and servants."
Dugu Xin frowned even deeper, thought about it, and quickly thought of a suitable candidate.
"You go and reply to those people first. As for the banquet, let Xinya help me organize it."
Han Yu did not object and immediately went to find the housekeeper to send invitations to each family.
After Dugu Xin finished speaking, he walked towards Dayu Palace.
Every time he walked to the palace gate, Dugu Xin would unconsciously think of his mother.
The reason why Dugu Xin was out of favor had something to do with the identity of his mother.
His mother was of humble status, but was very much loved by the emperor.
Unfortunately, his appearance threatened the prince, so the queen tried every means to harm them and their son.
Not long after he was forced to leave the palace, his mother was killed by the queen.
The queen hated his mother so much that she refused to even give her a straw mat, let alone bury her in the imperial mausoleum.
The affairs of the harem have always been handled by the queen, and since her status is indeed low, the emperor did not care.
However, Princess Xinya had been close to Dugu Xin since childhood, so she felt that what happened to his mother was very inappropriate.
Although Princess Xinya is just a princess, she is the emperor's daughter in his later years, so the emperor still cares about her very much.
At Princess Xinya's suggestion, the emperor finally agreed to bury his mother in the imperial mausoleum.
Memories came flooding back like a tide. When Dugu Xin arrived at Princess Xinya's bedroom, Princess Xinya was playing the piano.
"Princess, the Third Prince is here."
At the reminder of her personal maid, Xinya immediately put down what she was doing and walked towards Dugu Xin.
"Third brother, how come you have time to come and see me today?"
Dugu Xin looked at Xinya lovingly, then explained his purpose.
After Xinya listened patiently to Dugu Xin's words, she immediately agreed with a smile.
"I thought it was some big deal, but it's just a party."
"Don't worry, Third Brother. I'll take care of it."
"However, you've been back for so long, it's time to hold a party to celebrate."
"Third brother, you don't know, I have several close friends who want to see you."
Dugu Xin smiled faintly, "Okay, since I'm asking you to prepare it, just follow the invitation."
"However, there are quite a few people in the court who have sent their invitations. I will have Han Yu give you the list. Just remember to invite their wives and daughters to attend."
Princess Xinya agreed with a smile, then looked at Dugu Xin with some gossip.
"Third brother, tell me the truth, do you have a girl in mind right now?"
Dugu Xin frowned, but his mind drifted away unconsciously. After a long time, he smiled faintly.
"I've been living on the edge of a knife these past few years. How could I have time for romance?"
"Alright, the palace banquet will be held in three days. It's not for me to see. As for the female guests, you can entertain them as you please."
