Zhao Xianyin organized her thoughts and nodded, "Haven't you noticed? Among the important officials of the court, apart from the three staunch supporters of the emperor—the Duke of Li, the Marquis, and Lord Zhang—everyone else has become involved with Prince Yuansheng."
"Huo's sixth son has almost joined Xiao's army, General Mu was saved by Prince Yuansheng, that Mu Zixi is General Xue's man, Young Master Ji, a disciple of the Feng Yong family, seems to be following the prince, and now there is another one, Feng Zhen'er."
"Although these people are just insignificant juniors, you can still see some things from them."
"Also, I heard that the Jiang family is going to come out of seclusion. Four sons from the Jiang family will participate in the imperial examination next spring. Over the years, the eldest and second uncles of the Jiang family have been establishing schools in their hometown and have cultivated many scholars who are now scattered in various places."
"They have been biding their time for twenty years, and their sudden emergence now makes people suspicious of their intentions."
"Furthermore, Lord Liu and Lord Bai remain neutral. Granddaughter, do you remember that they have some connections with the former Yin people?"
"Prince Yuansheng has the Xiao family army and the Su family army under his command, with outstanding military achievements. In addition, today, the four lines of Zhang Zai have shaken the literary world. Grandfather and granddaughter are shocked to find that Prince Yuansheng has the potential to become a dragon in the making. It seems that he is only waiting for the final legitimacy."
Zhao Kun paused slightly upon hearing this, then shook his head. "Legitimate? It's easier said than done. She's Xiao Yuanshan's daughter now."

Zhao Kun raised an eyebrow. "Grandfather has always remained neutral and loyal to the throne."
Then he waved his hand and said, "Alright, go out."
After Zhao Xianyin left the study, she realized that her grandfather hadn't said anything about whether or not she should have contact with Prince Yuansheng. What was going on?
On Zhao Xi's side, it was desolate and deserted. Although it was called a princess's residence, the place was actually smaller than the residence of a third or fourth-rank official.
"Princess, someone from the Feng family has arrived."
Zhao Xi lazily got up. "Tell him to leave the letter, and I'll disappear."
A moment later, the letter was handed over. Zhao Xi opened it and slowly read it. "Burn it."
The palace maid carefully burned it in front of her, and as she turned her head, she seemed to see tears sliding down the princess's cheeks.
Upon closer inspection, it seemed to be another illusion.
Several other companies are also in discussions about this matter.
