When Shangguan Yu heard this, he immediately understood Ye Pengcheng's concerns and immediately made a promise.
"General Ye, don't worry. Although Xinxin is not your biological daughter, in my opinion, you are more to her than to me."
"She must have the support of the General's Mansion. No one in Daxia would dare to look down on her."
"Besides, I have made up my mind. The position of Princess Yu must belong to Xinxin."
"And I swear, I will treat Xinxin well and will never let her suffer any injustice."
Ye Pengcheng felt anxious when he heard Shangguan Yu tie the General's Mansion to him in just a few words.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid I can't make the decision on this matter. Your Majesty and Xinxin must agree."
"Of course, if I could get a son-in-law like Your Majesty, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."
After Ye Pengcheng finished speaking, he burst into laughter, and Shangguan Yu laughed along with him.
"Don't worry, General Ye. I will go and talk to the Emperor."
"Since the general has no objection, then this king is relieved."
Ye Pengcheng smiled brightly, "How could this old minister object? It's Xinxin's blessing that His Highness likes her."
"Originally, I was worried that Xiaoxiao's return would make Xinxin unhappy."
"Now, thanks to your highness's kindness, if Xinxin can become Prince Yu's consort, then this old minister will be relieved."
Shangguan Yu had no doubts. After all, everyone could see how much the Ye family doted on Ye Xinxin.
The reason why he chose Ye Xinxin was precisely because he valued this point.
However, he didn't know that there was a variable in the Ye family, Ye Xiaoxiao.
Shangguan Yu was happy that the matter was settled. He chatted with Ye Pengcheng for a while and then returned to the palace to report.
After Shangguan Yu left, Ye Pengcheng immediately put away his smile, and Ye Rong looked at him with some embarrassment.
"Dad, knowing that he's not sincere, do we really want Xinxin to marry him?"
Ye Pengcheng sighed. Seeing Shangguan Yu's determined look just now, he was afraid that they would not be able to stop this matter at all.
"From what Xiaoxiao said, they are the chosen ones and they are bound to be together."
"Besides, Xinxin has already become somewhat alienated from us because of Xiaoxiao's arrival. If we stop her from marrying Prince Yu, I'm afraid she will only resent us even more."
Ye Sheng was a little annoyed. "Could it be that we have made a mistake in raising her all these years?"
After a long while, Ye Fan said with some reluctance: "Xinxin may just be unable to accept it for the time being. Let's pay more attention to her in the future. Maybe she..."
Ye Fan couldn't continue talking. At first, they were skeptical about what Ye Xiaoxiao said.
However, after going through so much now, they have completely believed Ye Xiaoxiao's words.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, Ye Pengcheng changed the subject.
"Ye Fan is right. We should try to pay more attention to Xinxin in the future. If she has any abnormalities, we will be able to discover them early."
"However, this matter is not the most important at the moment. The most important thing is that Prince Yu has a long-standing reputation. Even if we tell others, they may not believe it."
"Perhaps, because of the Han family incident, others will suspect that we are petty."
"Now that our Ye family is marrying into the Li family, some people will be wary of us."
"If Prince Yu and Xinxin were to get married now, I'm afraid Prince Yu would use our Ye family to drag in the Li family, or even the Qin and Sun families."
"Right now, we should think of a way to get everyone on guard against Prince Yu."
When Ye Fan thought about Ye Rong's upcoming marriage to Li Jingjing, he made the suggestion.
"Dad, the Li family is easy to deal with. After what happened with Han Wenbin, I think the Li family will be on guard."
"I'll let my second brother and his wife talk to them later. Although the Li family may not be completely convinced, it's good to be on guard."
"As for the others, we'll slowly figure out a solution when the time comes."
Ye Pengcheng nodded, it seemed that this was the only way.
"I just hope the Li family won't be deceived by Prince Yu's appearance as Xiaoxiao said."
"However, through Han Wenbin's case, I discovered that the Crown Prince is not as bad as the rumors say."
The four sons of the Ye family nodded one after another. However, Shangguan Lingyun's reputation was too bad. Although they had doubts, they still did not quite believe it.
Shangguan Lingyun, who was suspected by everyone, was lying on Ye Xiaoxiao's big bed to rest.
Ye Xiaoxiao looked helplessly at Shangguan Lingyun who occupied her entire bed.
"Your Highness, why do you always come to my little side courtyard instead of living in your huge palace?"
Shangguan Lingyun raised his eyes slightly and looked at Ye Xiaoxiao, whose belly was slightly bulging.
"Woman, if I were not the Crown Prince, what would you do?"
Ye Xiaoxiao found it a little funny, but answered without hesitation.
"What does it have to do with me whether you are the prince or not?"
"But I don't understand what you did that angered heaven and man to make your father dislike you so much."
"Take the Han family incident for example. It was originally the fault of the Han family and Han Wenbin. If anyone is implicated, it should be Prince Yu."
"Why is it that in the end, Prince Yu gets all the good reputation, while you get only the bad reputation?"
"Shouldn't you reflect on what you did not do well enough?"
"Or, since you've already taken on so much criticism, why don't you do something worthy of your reputation and make those people shut up."
Shangguan Lingyun remained silent. Ye Xiaoxiao saw him in deep thought and then continued.
"This person, instead of wasting his energy internally, would rather go crazy and waste others' energy. There's no need to be too normal."
"Since it's not your fault, why should you care about what others think and let yourself be unnecessarily criticized?"
After saying that, Ye Xiaoxiao added another sentence in her heart.
"Besides, you're not a normal person to begin with. If you're slandered by others, not only will your position as crown prince be over, but your life will be gone."
Ye Xiaoxiao could see that although Shangguan Lingyun was paranoid and irritable, he really cared about Shangguan Du's attitude towards him.
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't understand. It was said that there was no family affection in the royal family. What was there for him to be nostalgic for such a biased father?
Shangguan Lingyun's eyes lit up, and then he stared at Ye Xiaoxiao with burning eyes.
"Tell me, if I were to take that position, would you marry me?"
Ye Xiaoxiao answered simply: "No."
"I'm happy and free on my own. Why should I be dependent on a man?"
"Besides, the palace looks nice, but it's actually cold and there's nothing interesting about it."
"I'm a wild person and don't like being restrained."
"However, if you can really sit in that position, it would be much better than having that hypocrite Prince Yu sit in it."
Shangguan Lingyun became interested when he heard Ye Xiaoxiao say that Prince Yu was a hypocrite.
He hugged the person in his arms and asked curiously.
"Woman, everyone says Prince Yu is a modest gentleman, so why are you so hostile to him?"
