Ye Jinyun also knew all these things. She thought that Mo Qiyuan did nothing wrong. Even though he was her elder brother, she couldn't let him hold an important position in the court at will. Moreover, her elder brother was capable and he would let the emperor see his talents.
"Okay, okay, big brother, why are you out? Don't you need to improve your relationship with your colleagues?"
Hearing this, Ye Huaibai smiled, his whole body as if bathed in spring breeze:
"My colleagues are not as important as my sister and nephew. As a man from outside the family, I cannot ask for permission to enter the palace to visit you and your child, nor can I be summoned by the emperor for the time being. Now that I have the opportunity to see you and your child, why should I care about them?"
"Big brother is right. Lin'er is already one year old before you meet him for the first time. As his uncle, you should make it up to him."
Ye Jinyun pointed to the purse on his waist and said that although her father had people prepare many gifts and send them to the palace when she just gave birth to her eldest son, including one for Ye Huaibai, she still wanted to ask for a gift like this for her nephew.
Ye Huaibai shook his head and took out three solid gold bracelets from his arms, each with a small fortune pendant hanging on it.
"Big brother has already prepared it. Not only for my eldest nephew, but also for the two little ones who are not yet born."
Ye Jinyun took it with a smile, loosened one of the straps a little, and put it on his son. However, the little guy refused. In the end, Ye Huaibai had to squat down and coax him before he agreed to wear it. He even clung to him and refused to take it off unless he held it in his arms.
Ye Jinyun felt warm in her heart as she looked at him. Although she and her elder brother were not biological siblings, this kind of family affection had always been maintained between them, for her and for her children as well.
"Brother, how are you these days?"
Ye Jinyun looked at Ye Huaibai who was holding the child and asked. She heard that since Ye Jinrong was punished by the emperor to become a nun, Yang often insulted her at home. Ye's father was afraid that she would speak without restraint, so he put her in solitary confinement several times before she stopped.
However, because of Ye Jinrong and because Ye Jinyun later became the queen, Ye's father was afraid that she would hold Yang accountable for her harsh treatment in the past and implicate the Ye family, so he completely ignored her and even handed over the power of managing the family to Aunt Lin.
After learning the news, Ye Jinyun felt very angry towards his father.
He was as ungrateful as ever. Thinking of how he treated his original body's mother in the same way, Ye Jinyun whispered in Mo Qiyuan's ear about Ye's father's behavior. The next day, Mo Qiyuan found a reason to transfer Ye's father's official position.
Although it seemed like a promotion, it was actually a tough job, which made Ye's father, who had been living a life of luxury for many years, miserable. He couldn't help but wonder if he had offended the emperor in some way, otherwise, as his father-in-law, why would he treat him like this.
Since he was like this, Yang was naturally not much better. She had a grudge against Concubine Lin in the mansion. She had given Concubine Lin an abortion drug a few years ago, making it impossible for Concubine Lin to have children in her life.
Now her daughter was punished to become a nun because she almost killed Ye Jinyun, and she herself was disliked by Ye's father because she treated her harshly in her early years. Now that Aunt Lin has the final say in the Ye Mansion, she has to give Yang a good beating, but she didn't go too far because of Ye Huaibai's face.
Ye Huaibai knew why she asked this, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, but he was soon relieved:
"Big brother is fine, little sister, don't worry. Big brother will move out of the Ye Mansion in a while, and from then on, these troubles will be out of sight and out of mind."
Ye Jinyun frowned. His eldest brother was about to move out of the Ye Mansion, so this mansion could probably be described as a mess.
"Brother, are you just moving out temporarily or... you are father's eldest son, will he agree?"
Ye Huaibai shook his head, "Big brother can handle this matter properly, little sister, there is no need to worry. Big brother is extremely disappointed with father now, and he also knows that if you were not considering big brother's face, I am afraid that the emperor would have already asked him to deal with him differently.
"Big brother is not a foolishly filial person. He naturally understands what kind of parents are worthy of filial piety and respect. Moreover, the emperor has shown special favor to the Ye family because of your reputation last time. Big brother doesn't want them to do anything wrong in the future. If you continue to tolerate their mistakes because of Big brother, you will not only lose the emperor's trust, but also be criticized by the court officials."
Ye Jinyun was completely confused by what she heard. What happened with the Ye family last time? Why did it concern her reputation?
Is it about Ye Jinrong?
That's not right. That matter has nothing to do with her reputation. Could something else have happened that she doesn't know about?
Seeing her puzzled face, Ye Huaibai knew that the emperor had not told her about what had happened before. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty, wondering why he hadn't considered this and said it out loud.
Ye Jinyun saw the regret flash in his elder brother's eyes, and knew that even if he asked him, he would not get anything out of him, so he avoided this question and asked some other things.
For example, where he moved to, whether he had money, etc., and finally she asked him when he planned to find a sister-in-law for her, which made Ye Huaibai blush and stopped him from worrying about it.
At night, Ye Jinyun leaned in Mo Qiyuan's arms, holding his hand on her belly to feel the fetal movement.
He raised his head and whispered, "I have seen Big Brother today. Are you hiding something from me?"
Ye Jinyun did not use honorifics because Mo Qiyuan told her many times that they were husband and wife, and there was no need to be so formal and follow the rules. They should just address each other as normal couples. So, apart from calling him "Your Majesty" in front of others and calling herself "Your Majesty", Ye Jinyun always spoke like this in private.
Mo Qiyuan paused and sighed inwardly, forget it, just tell her.
"Yun'er, do you still remember the rumor?"
Ye Jinyun nodded, of course he remembered.
Those rumors were spread in new forms every day. Every time Xiao Quanzi told her the latest version, she would sigh in admiration for the person who made up the new version.
"When the rumor first started, I asked Wei Lingfeng to investigate. He found the person who first spread the rumor. It turned out to be... Yun'er's stepmother in the Ye Mansion. However, at that time, the ministers had already been quite critical of you for dismissing the concubines. And since she was your mother's family, even though she was only Yun'er's stepmother, arresting her would definitely damage your reputation. So, I privately sent someone to the Ye Mansion to warn her.
But later on, I realized that she didn't have the ability to make this matter known to everyone. She just provided others with an idea. The rumors that intensified later did not come from her mouth. Even Wei Lingfeng has not yet thoroughly investigated who is behind the scenes fanning the flames.
Only your father, that Yang family, and your eldest brother know about this. I didn't want you to know originally, fearing you'd feel awkward about your family being the one to hurt you. But now that your eldest brother has spilled the beans, I'll just tell Yun'er everything."
