Although Sun Ming did not attend the dinner yesterday, Lord Sun and the Sun brothers and sisters had already told him about it after they returned.
So, he was not unaware of it, he was just building a ladder for Shangguan Lingyun.
Shangguan Lingyun smiled faintly and directly announced the names of Qin Lei and Wang Muzhe.
For a moment, the ministers in the court began to discuss again.
"Although Master Xiao Wang and Master Xiao Qin are both talented in both civil and military affairs, they are still young. Isn't it unwise for them to preside over the imperial examination?"
"I don't think it's a big deal. This is a young people's world, so we should look at it from a young perspective."
"What's more, the two gentlemen are no less talented or knowledgeable than us old fellows."
"Yes, I also think that Master Xiao Qin and Master Xiao Wang are good."
"It's just that Prime Minister Wang is acting a little strangely today. Normally, he never misses the morning court."
When this person said this, everyone realized something and immediately agreed.
"Yeah, the Wang family has been quite restless lately. Prime Minister Wang must be pissed off."
"Maybe, Prime Minister Wang was still full of energy yesterday, and he fell ill overnight? I don't believe it."
"You don't know yet, that concubine of the Wang family..."
"Ahem~"
The dry cough interrupted the man's next words, and at the same time, interrupted everyone's discussion.
Shangguan Lingyun looked at everyone expressionlessly, and then everyone stopped and agreed that the two of them would be the chief examiners.
After resolving these important issues, Shangguan Lingyun announced his withdrawal from court.
After Shangguan Lingyun left, everyone gathered in groups of three or four to discuss with each other.
Several officials who had a good relationship with the Ye family walked up to Ye Pengcheng.
"Duke Zhenguo, do you think the current court is about to change?"
Ye Pengcheng looked at the other person deeply, then smiled faintly and shook his head.
"Lord Li, you worry too much. As long as His Majesty is here, the court will always be His Majesty's court."
"However, as ministers, we should consider His Majesty more."
"As long as we do our part, no matter how the world changes, it won't affect us."
Upon hearing this, Lord Li had to leave with a smile, and Ye Pengcheng also walked home with a smile on his face.
Ye Xiaoxiao was bored and playing with her child in the bedroom when Tianxuan suddenly walked in.
"Master, I received news from Dayu."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao immediately took the letter from Tianxuan's hand.
There were only a few short words on it.
"Xiaoxiao, Zhan Xinjia, I'm fine, don't worry. However, I found a medicinal herb on the border between Dayu and Daxia. I wonder if it's what you're looking for."
Below the letter was a picture, and the picture showed exactly what Ye Xiaoxiao was looking for.
Shangguan Lingyun had just returned from court and saw Ye Xiaoxiao reading a letter, so he went over.
"Whose letter is it? Why do you look so serious?"
Ye Xiaoxiao handed the letter over. When Shangguan Lingyun saw the signature on the letter, he felt a pang of sadness in his heart again.
However, when he saw the paper with the fruitless picture on it, he immediately frowned.
"Wu Guo actually appeared on the border between Dayu and Daxia?"
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, then looked at Shangguan Lingyun with some embarrassment.
"The affairs in the capital haven't been dealt with yet. Otherwise, let Tianxuan and I go together to get these herbs..."
Before Ye Xiaoxiao could finish, Shangguan Lingyun interrupted her.
"Your husband said he would go with you. How could he let you take the risk by yourself?"
"But……"
"There's nothing to worry about. Everything in the capital has been arranged. Besides, we have the Eagle to help us, so we'll be fine."
Ye Xiaoxiao sighed, and then continued.
"It's a long journey to Dayu, and matters in the capital need to be properly arranged."
"Besides, there's Princess Xinya and Fourth Brother's marriage, why not..."
Ye Xiaoxiao originally planned to wait until Princess Xinya and Ye Sheng got married before leaving.
However, she was worried that the herbs she had worked so hard to find would be destroyed, so she was very conflicted.
Shangguan Lingyun naturally understood her concerns and hugged her in his arms.
"Don't worry, the marriage is not that simple. The rituals before the wedding alone will take one or two months."
"My husband has already instructed the Imperial Observatory to handle this matter. I believe they should be able to catch up when we return."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao sighed again.
"Okay, let's do as you say. I'll have Tianxuan prepare to leave."
"Once you're done, we'll hit the road immediately and try to get there and back as early as possible."
Shangguan Lingyun nodded, and the matter was settled.
Shangguan Lingyun went to the imperial study to handle government affairs, while Ye Xiaoxiao went to the empress dowager's bedroom.
When the Queen Mother saw her expression, she knew that something was wrong.
"What's wrong? Have you discovered the whereabouts of other herbs?"
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, and the Queen Mother smiled faintly and asked her to take a seat.
"Why, are you worried about something?"
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the Queen Mother with some guilt.
"Mother, I always feel that I am neither a qualified mother, nor a qualified wife, and even less a qualified queen."
The Queen Mother asked Iris to serve tea to Ye Xiaoxiao, and she also picked up a cup and sipped it slowly.
"Xiaoxiao, life is like tasting tea. Some people find it bitter, but some people find it fragrant."
"Some people have trouble falling asleep at night after drinking tea, but others can still sleep soundly after drinking tea."
"Do you know why?"
Ye Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and understood what the Queen Mother meant.
