Shangguan Lingyun snorted disdainfully, "Relying on women to win people's hearts is something I disdain to do."
Ye Xiaoxiao became interested immediately after hearing this.
"You mean to say that Prince Yu is spending time with other women besides Ye Xinxin?"
Shangguan Lingyun nodded, "He is a prince, it is normal for him to have three wives and four concubines."
Ye Xiaoxiao frowned, "You are still the prince, why don't you see a few women around you?"
Shangguan Lingyun curled his lips in disdain, "I am a clean and self-disciplined person, how can he compare to me?"
"Besides, they are just some ugly things. I don't like them."
Ye Xiaoxiao felt secretly dissatisfied when she heard this.
[I'm afraid you have a bad reputation and no one would be willing to marry their daughter to you.]
Shangguan Lingyun paused after hearing her thoughts.
Ye Xiaoxiao didn't think any more and continued to ask.
"Then which girl does Prince Yu have his eye on?"
Seeing that she was curious, Shangguan Lingyun told Ye Xiaoxiao all the information that Wang Xiao had found out.
Ye Xiaoxiao fell silent after hearing this, but she was quickly calculating in her mind.
[In the original book, Prince Yu planned to win over the Ye family through Ye Xinxin, and then win over the Li family, which was related to the Ye family.]
[As well as Mrs. Ye's Qin family and Mrs. Qin's natal family, the Sun family.]
Therefore, even though they knew that Ye Xinxin was not the Ye family's biological daughter, they still had to grant her the title of principal consort because of the Ye family's love for her.
[However, in the original book, in order to show his love for Ye Xinxin, Prince Yu did not marry anyone else at the same time as marrying her.]
[Now, according to Shangguan Lingyun, Prince Yu is planning to marry a principal wife and two concubines at the same time.]
[I think it's because of my arrival that Han Wenbin's story didn't develop according to the plot in the book, so this is what changed.]
After figuring this out, Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Shangguan Lingyun with some confusion.
"Doesn't the Han family only have Han Wenbin as their only son? What's going on with this girl from the Han family?"
Shangguan Lingyun found Ye Xiaoxiao's analysis quite interesting.
Seeing that she didn't understand something, he was happy to talk to her.
"Han Wenbin is indeed the only legitimate son of the Han family. This Han girl was originally the daughter of the old marquis's illegitimate son."
"Ever since Han Wenbin's accident, the Han family has adopted this daughter of the Han family to the Han family's wife in order to rely on Prince Yu."
"So, considering the status of this Han family girl, it is understandable that she can only be a concubine."
Ye Xiaoxiao understood.
"The Han family is somewhat dissatisfied with Prince Yu because of Han Wenbin's incident, so Prince Yu agreed to marry the Han family's daughter as a concubine."
"Of course, he didn't do this entirely for the Han family, but to show that he didn't forget the old favor."
"This will also make those who follow him even more devoted to him. It really is a good trick."
After a brief pause, Ye Xiaoxiao continued, "Who is the other woman?"
Shangguan Lingyun liked listening to Ye Xiaoxiao talk, so he, who was usually taciturn, patiently told her the story.
"The other person is Han Xuemei, the daughter of the Minister of Revenue."
When Ye Xiaoxiao heard the name of the Minister of Revenue, she had some impression of him.
"The Minister of Revenue is in charge of finances and grain. It can be said that whoever wins over the Yuan family is equivalent to putting the entire Daxia purse in his hands."
After Ye Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she fell silent again, thinking about the plot of the original book.
[In the original novel, after Prince Yu had won over several prominent families, he began to secretly station troops, and the Minister of Revenue did a lot to help him.]
Since joining Prince Yu, the Minister of Revenue has become even more daring and reckless. He not only abuses his power for personal gain but also raises private soldiers for Prince Yu.
[At the same time, he also committed corruption and abused his power. Later, he even recommended the Minister of Personnel to join Prince Yu and began to buy and sell official positions.]
[He can both pursue personal gain and replace all those who oppose Prince Yu in the court.]
[Of course, most of the money they earned went into Prince Yu's pocket.]
[Later, when Prince Yu ascended the throne, they were afraid that Prince Yu would worry, so they voluntarily handed over their power.]
After the Ye family and other families were exterminated, Prince Yu granted them honorary titles and provided them with retirement benefits. They lived a comfortable life.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoxiao became a little angry.
[It's true that the victors are kings and the losers are bandits, but why are loyal ministers like the Ye family, who served their country and their people, all reduced to cannon fodder?]
【However, those who were corrupt and perverted the law all had a good end in the end.】
Shangguan Lingyun couldn't help but laugh when he saw Ye Xiaoxiao's angry expression.
He didn't expect that Ye Xiaoxiao, who seemed cold and heartless, actually cared about the country and the people.
However, Shangguan Lingyun misunderstood. Ye Xiaoxiao simply felt sorry for the Ye family.
However, no matter what, after listening to Ye Xiaoxiao's inner thoughts, Shangguan Lingyun became more determined.
"Woman, why are you suddenly angry? Just now, when you heard that Prince Yu was going to marry someone else, weren't you very happy?"
Ye Xiaoxiao was stunned, and then she realized that she had gone off topic while thinking about it.
She snorted coldly, “You are right, since Ye Xinxin dared to harm me and my child.”
"Then I have to give her some trouble."
Shangguan Lingyun raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Then how do you plan to make things difficult for her?"
Ye Xiaoxiao sneered, "Doesn't she go to meet Prince Yu every day?"
"Then let her see with her own eyes that Prince Yu is being affectionate with another woman."
Looking at the cunning look on Ye Xiaoxiao's face, Shangguan Lingyun suddenly found it a bit amusing.
"So what are you going to do? Do you need my help?"
Ye Xiaoxiao thought about it and nodded happily.
