Shangguan Yi was not an official of the Eastern Palace. Seeing him and Li Xian coming out to greet them at the same time, Wang Zheng sighed deeply.

"Hello sir!"

"Meet the chief steward!"

Wang Zheng nodded and returned the greeting, "Your Highness, Lord Shangguan, let's go inside and talk."

Entering the living room of the East Palace, Wang Zheng and Li Xian sat on the left and right, and Shangguan Yi sat to the right of Li Xian.

After Wang Zheng took a sip of tea, Li Xian asked anxiously, "How did you discuss with the emperor?"

Wang Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "His Majesty has agreed to your marriage, but it still depends on the Queen's opinion. As for the Queen, your Highness should go and ask for it himself. I heard that your Highness has not paid respects to the Queen for a long time, which is not good."

Your Highness is young after all, and he does not consider many things comprehensively. It would be beneficial for Your Highness to listen to the Queen's opinions more often."

In fact, it is not a bad idea for Your Highness to take a concubine at this time. After all, marriage is a sign of maturity, and His Majesty might change his opinion of Your Highness."

Wang Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Don't worry, it shouldn't hit you."

Wang Zheng smiled and said to the old eunuch who was rowing the boat: "Although your voice is soft, you still have to be careful that there are ears on the other side of the wall. There are many things that you cannot comment on. Even knowing a little bit is a sin."

Wang Zheng stood up and walked out, waved to Li Xian who followed him, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, please stay."

Especially Li Zhi, that old scoundrel. If you are played to death by him, you might even be grateful to him and pity him.

Shangguan Yi pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "The chief steward is currently in a state of reclusiveness and cannot express his opinions on many matters. Your Highness need not mind.

For example, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were countless powerful ministers, and many emperors were unable to even protect themselves.

Misfortunes sent by heaven can be forgiven, but misfortunes brought upon oneself cannot be forgiven. Li Xian is a soft-hearted person, but Li Zhi and Wu Zetian are two cruel and ruthless guys.

After all, he is an old monster who has outlasted several emperors, so he naturally has some vision.

As long as these two people are in power, all ministers should learn from Xu Jingzong and try to get closer to the emperor and the empress. This is the way to protect themselves. Anyone who wants to make trouble will not have a good end.

Your Highness, the most important thing now is to find a way to make His Majesty see and believe in your ability. Political affairs should still be handled by Your Highness. It is unreasonable to hand them over to Her Majesty.

The old eunuch smiled and continued, "Hehe, my uncle often boasts that it is a blessing for us old servants to have a good relationship with the chief steward. I deeply agree with what my uncle said."

"Thank you for saving my life, Steward."

When Li Xian heard Wang Zheng say that Li Zhi had softened his stance, he was delighted at first. Then Wang Zheng asked him to ask Wu Zetian for help. Li Xian's expression gradually became silent. Finally, when he heard the accusatory tone in Wang Zheng's words, Li Xian's expression became a little unnatural.

It is true that Xiao Yuehua only comes back twice a month, but that is because Wang Zheng wants to cultivate his daughter's independence. Besides, Wang Zheng and his daughter have a very close relationship, so it doesn't matter if they only see each other twice a month.

"My life is like an ant. Of course the wind will not blow towards me. But even if there is a little aftermath, I can't bear it with my status!"

Li Xian's eyes flickered, as if he was about to make a move. At this time, Shangguan Yi bowed to Wang Zheng and said with a smile: "What the steward said is a bit biased. Although Your Highness is young, he has a kind heart. Even if he lacks experience, nothing irreversible will happen.

Li Xian paused, Wang Zheng had already walked away. Looking at Wang Zheng's back, Li Xian was a little absent-minded. Finally, he sighed and asked Shangguan Yi, "Are you disappointed in me, sir?"

"It hasn't been that long. I go to pay respects to my mother on the first and fifteenth day of every month. We often see each other in the court. Doesn't my junior sister only see you twice a month?"

"Your Highness, if you want to postpone the selection of a concubine for two years, you can go and discuss it with Her Majesty. I am tired after wandering around today, so I will go back and rest."

After Wang Zheng left the East Palace, he looked back, then sighed and left on the palace boat.

"Hey, I understand. It looks like the wind is going to blow again. Can you point us to a place that is leeward?"

Wang Zheng didn't think much of it. Benevolence was indeed right, but the target of the score, what kind of place was the imperial court? The imperial court was full of tigers and wolves, and being called a beast in human clothing was no joke.

Wang Zheng looked at Li Xian who had a guilty look on his face, then looked at Shangguan Yi who had a smug look on his face, and sighed in his heart.

The word "benevolence" itself is charity from the superior to the inferior. Those guys in the court may have benevolence towards ordinary people, but they only have endless covetousness towards their own kind and superiors.

But there was an obvious rift between Li Xian and Wu Zetian. Under such circumstances, it was natural that they should pay their respects more often and meet each other more often to ease the relationship. How could they be compared?

On the other hand, the Queen's actions are a bit too cruel and overbearing. Even if the Queen has unique insights, there are always mistakes. I think she is not as good as Your Highness. What do you think, Chief Steward?"

Shangguan Yi continued to persuade him, "Actually, it depends on the individual. The encyclopedia says that people should marry late mainly to prevent dystocia. I heard that Miss Fang is not petite, so it should be okay for her to get married now."

It is not a good thing for a monarch to be too benevolent and weak, as that will only result in the real power falling into others' hands. If the successor cannot take back the power, it will inevitably lead to the emergence of numerous factions in the country.

Wang Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Stay away from the East Palace."

Li Xian shook his head and said, "The encyclopedia is not wrong. These years have proven that getting married a little later does have its benefits. I still want to wait for another two years."

Wang Zheng thought for a moment and advised, "Your Majesty has just taken charge of government affairs, and you are overwhelmed in every aspect. Your Highness often disagrees with Your Majesty. Wouldn't it be better to visit more often and discuss things with her?"

Wang Zheng was getting off the palace boat in Da'an Palace. It was time for the old eunuch to change shifts. After politely seeing Wang Zheng off, the old man immediately slipped to the gate of the Ye Ting Bureau.

Compared with the old guy in the gatehouse of the Ye Ting Bureau, the old eunuch immediately looked younger.

"Uncle, the man in the mansion said that the wind is going to blow, so let us stay away from the East Palace."

The figure sitting on the rocking chair paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "I see, let's slowly replace the people. Alas, Xiao Zhen still has a more unique vision.

The master of the East Palace can't even maintain such a good situation. I really don't know what's going on?"
