"You're back. I was just worrying about the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet. Fourteenth Master reminded me that I could go to Empress Defei for advice." Seeing Yinlang coming back, Jiang Ranli stood up and walked quickly to greet him.
Yinzhen hugged Jiang Ranli who ran over and rubbed her head lovingly with his big hands.
Looking at this scene, the Tenth Prince sighed repeatedly. Why wasn't his wife like Jiang Ranli? Not only did she not welcome him back, but she also glared at him.
"Fourteenth Prince, I'm so envious of Ninth Brother," Tenth Prince pulled Fourteenth Prince's sleeve, his eyes full of envy.
"I'm envious too."
The Fourteenth Prince looked in the direction of Jiang Ranli and Yin'er, and a barely perceptible trace of loneliness flashed across his eyes as bright as stars and moons.
"I was just about to go to Empress De to ask about the situation in previous years. It's a great opportunity, let's go together tomorrow." Yinzhen had never had the experience of hosting a birthday banquet for the Empress Dowager, and for a moment he didn't know where to start.
"Okay," Jiang Ranli nodded repeatedly.
"Fourteen, are you free tomorrow?" Yinzhen took Jiang Ranli's hand and walked to the stone table.
The Fourteenth Prince shifted his gaze from their joined hands and nodded, "I'm always available."
The three of them immediately made an agreement to enter the palace together tomorrow. At this time, the Tenth Prince said, "Ninth Brother, didn't Empress Yi also co-organize the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet in previous years? You can also go and ask Empress Yi."
Upon hearing this, Yin'er's expression changed immediately. Although he quickly adjusted his expression, Jiang Ranli still caught the fleeting change.
"Tenth brother, didn't you say you came to play brain teasers with Li'er? Do you still want to play?" Fourteenth prince changed the subject.
Night.
Jiang Ranli looked at Yinzhen who was handling official business seriously under the candlelight, thought for a while and said, "Yinzhen, did mother come to see you today?"
Hearing this, Yinzhen put down the document in his hand and looked at Jiang Ranli with a smile. His evil and handsome face stood out even more in the candlelight.
"Li'er is really smart, you guessed it all."
Although Yinzhen was smiling, Jiang Ranli couldn't be happy at this time, "Did mother say something to you? I always feel that you don't seem happy today."
Yinzhen looked at Jiang Ranli for a long time, then stretched out his long arm and rubbed her head.
"As expected, nothing can be hidden from you. Mother did say something, but don't worry, your husband will take care of it."
Feeling the warmth from his big hand, Jiang Ranli raised her lips and smiled, and asked again, "Can you tell me what happened exactly? Maybe I can help you think of a solution."
Looking at the person with clear eyes, Yinzhen thought of what he had promised her, saying that he would never hide anything from her when encountering problems, and that they would face them together.
"Mother asked about Dong E."
Hearing the name Dong E, Jiang Ranli frowned slightly, but she guessed that Concubine Yi would ask about Dong E. After all, Dong E had been under house arrest during this period and had not entered the palace once, so Concubine Yi would definitely ask about her.
Yinzhen stood up and walked to her side, holding her in his arms, his delicate chin resting on her head, his big hands with distinct joints caressing her slender white hands, and he lowered his eyes to look at Jiang Ranli's cheek, where a scar pierced his heart.
"Dong E has done many evil things over the years, and I, your husband, am letting her off so easily."
Hearing him say this, Jiang Ranli nodded. She fully respected Yin'er's decision. Of course, she also had her own selfish motives and did not want to lift Dong E's house arrest so quickly.
