Ye Xiaoxiao groaned, and then her whole body collapsed under Shangguan Lingyun's attack.
Soon, the two of them were speaking frankly to each other.
The fighting in the palace was in full swing, and the Ye family on the other side was also very lively.
After Li Jingjing returned to the Ye Mansion, she found that her father and Qin Chuan were still there.
Ye Pengcheng was drinking with Li Zhiming and Qin Chuan, and the four sons of the Ye family were also there.
Mrs. Ye saw Li Jingjing coming back and asked with some confusion.
"Jingjing, I just looked for you everywhere and couldn't find you. Your maid said you went to the palace."
Li Jingjing nodded. "A lot has happened in the past few days. I'm a little unsure, so I went to find Xiaoxiao."
Mrs. Ye nodded, then looked at Li Jingjing gently.
"Jingjing, Mother knows you're worried about Rong'er escorting the marriage envoy."
"You and Rong'er have only been married for a short time. Rong'er's back and forth will probably take more than a month."
"Mother doesn't have the heart to separate you two young lovers, but regarding this court matter, Mother also..."
Li Jingjing saw that Mrs. Ye had misunderstood and hurried to comfort her.
"Mother, you are too worried. As an official appointed by the court, I am here to help His Majesty. I am so happy for you."
"My daughter-in-law went to see Xiaoxiao because she had other things to do. They are all daughters' concerns. Mother, don't worry."
Mrs. Ye felt relieved after hearing this, and then she pulled Li Jingjing aside to talk.
In the hall, several people drinking also turned the topic of escort to the issue.
"Ye Rong, I must be extra careful when escorting you this time."
Li Zhiming was the first to remind him, and Ye Rong immediately smiled and nodded.
"Don't worry, father-in-law. We are just escorting an envoy. There will be no danger. Besides, we have our fourth brother's No. 1 Manor to help us."
Ye Sheng immediately nodded in agreement.
"Yes, uncle, Prince Dayu is quite powerful, and with the support of the world's number one village, nothing will happen."
Li Zhiming shook his head and then began to analyze the situation for the two of them.
"This matter cannot be taken lightly. I heard that there has been some serious trouble over at Dayu recently."
"Since Prince Dayu has no maternal family to rely on, Queen Dayu has always been eyeing him covetously."
"I heard that Emperor Dayu has adopted a new prince for the Empress, and that Crown Prince Dayu's position is not so secure."
"Furthermore, Emperor Dayu has always wanted to annex Daxia and is not very satisfied with Prince Dayu's closeness to Daxia."
"So I guess they will definitely do something on Prince Dayu's way back."
After Li Zhiming finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Ye Sheng.
Ye Sheng frowned, but still agreed with Li Zhiming's statement.
"Brother, what uncle said makes sense. It's always better to be more careful."
Ye Rong nodded, "Don't worry, Prince Dayu is no ordinary person. I believe he has already considered these things before he dared to come to Daxia."
"Besides, he has the protection of secret guards and the help of the world's number one village, so it won't be a big deal."
Ye Pengcheng nodded, "Ye Rong is right, but we still need to be more careful."
"The reward His Majesty bestowed upon our Ye family today has already threatened the vital interests of many people."
"So, this time when escorting Dayu's envoy, we must not only be on guard against Dayu, but also against other families."
After Ye Pengcheng finished speaking, Qin Chuan nodded immediately.
"Yes, I came here today just to talk about this matter."
"Although the Ye family is currently on the rise, it is largely due to the favor of Xiaoxiao and His Majesty."
"Now, His Majesty is unwilling to choose a concubine for Xiaoxiao, and many people have already had ideas about this."
"They can't do anything to Xiaoxiao and His Majesty, so they're very likely to make trouble for the Ye family."
"Of course, there are still people who are secretly plotting something bad to harm the Ye family."
Mrs. Ye listened to the analysis of several people and became a little worried.
"Jingjing, I'm suddenly feeling uneasy. What should I do?"
Li Jingjing was also a little worried, but she thought more than Mrs. Ye.
"Mom, you don't have to be too nervous. With His Majesty and Xiaoxiao here, even if they have ulterior motives, they can only do something behind the scenes."
"Fourth brother is in charge of the world's number one village, he is well-informed, nothing will happen."
Mrs. Ye relaxed a little after hearing this, and then continued to listen to their conversation.
They chatted for a long time, mostly about matters in the court. It was not until late at night that Li Zhiming and Qin Chuan got up to say goodbye.
The next morning, Ye Xiaoxiao rubbed her aching waist and looked at Shangguan Lingyun beside her with some dissatisfaction.
"Your Majesty, it's so late, why haven't you come to court yet?"
Shangguan Lingyun curled his lips, "I have returned from court, Xiaoxiao, you have slept for quite a while."
While the two were talking, Tianxuan rolled up all the curtains in the hall.
Only then did Ye Xiaoxiao realize that it was already noon.
"Why is it this late, Tianxuan? Didn't I ask you to wake me up early?"
Tianxuan looked at Shangguan Lingyun helplessly. Shangguan Lingyun smiled faintly and waved his hand, and Tianxuan retreated.
"Okay, don't blame her. It was me who stopped her from waking you up."
Ye Xiaoxiao pouted dissatisfiedly, "Tomorrow I will host a banquet for the harem, and I still have a lot of things to do."
Shangguan Lingyun rubbed her hair soothingly, "You are the queen. It is their blessing that you can summon them."
"They are the ones who should prepare. You have nothing to prepare."
"I've already asked Tianxuan to prepare for the banquet. You were too tired last night and need more rest."
Ye Xiaoxiao glared at him helplessly, but still lay back down obediently.
