The corner of Ling Feng's mouth twitched, he did not even turn a corner, what was there to be anxious about? However, since the steward was so brainless, he had better not say anything else!

Ling Feng sat up from the ground, excitedly preparing to tell his good brothers about this matter.

Didn't he say that he wouldn't rush it? Guard Ling, you are too anxious …

As soon as Ling Feng left the study, it was unknown when Dongfang Ye, who was in the bathtub, had already opened his eyes.

Those deep and enchanting eyes were filled with a moment of confusion.

Dongfang Ye touched his lips. Although his consciousness was a bit blurry when he was drunk, that real sensation and that sweet taste had always appeared in his mind.

Thinking about the 'princess consort' that the two of them had mentioned, Dongfang Ye revealed a smile that had a deeper meaning to it.

It might be a good choice to have a princess like her.

Xia Sizhu didn't know that she had unknowingly become the mistress in the hearts of the servants in the manor. If she had known, she definitely wouldn't have caused him such a big trouble that he couldn't get rid of for the sake of this bit of money …

At this moment, within the imperial palace, Dongfang Li was kneeling on the ground with the Emperor seated at a high position.

"Do you know your wrongs?" The Emperor looked at Dongfang Li with an ugly expression.

"This son knows." Dong Fang Li's expression was also gloomy.

He did not expect that his royal father would summon him late at night, so the reason why he sought him out was naturally for the matters of the day.

"I just came out from the envoy's place in the West Tomb and heard this news. I'm too disappointed in you.

You are the Crown Prince of the Southern Tomb, and you represent the Southern Tomb. In front of all the ministers, you are not in a good condition, especially since the Western Tomb's envoy is also in the Southern Tomb.

Tomorrow, if the Western Tomb's ambassador asks, what do you want me to say? What should I say when someone from another country comes to visit and asks about this? You've lost all your face in the South Tomb. " The Emperor, who was sitting on the Dragon Throne, said angrily.

This was his good son. He would drag him down at crucial times.

"Your son doesn't want to do this either." Once Dongfang Li thought of everything that had happened in the Prime Minister's Estate, her entire body began to emit a strong sense of anger.

"Speak, what happened at the Prime Minister's Estate? "You are my son, and I know that you are not someone who cannot tell what is important." the Emperor asked, calming his anger.

If he found out who it was, he would kill his entire clan.

"Father, your son was unable to find anything." Dongfang Li saw a flash of killing intent appear in the Emperor's eyes.

Before coming here, he had already erased all traces of this matter, and he knew that once it was discovered that it was the work of the Prime Minister's Estate, then all the people within the Prime Minister's Estate would naturally be dealt with.

He promised his son that he wouldn't let his father find out if he didn't investigate this matter.

In the future, he still had the chance to use his performance to make up for it. Once it was discovered that it was the work of the Prime Minister's household, his father would definitely set up the Prime Minister's household. That way, he would lose a large arm strength.

"Pah!" The Emperor slapped the Dragon Throne.

"Please calm your anger royal father." Dong Fang Li pretended to be terrified.

"Calm down? How do you expect me to calm down! " His Majesty hated the fact that he had failed.

"If we can't find the culprit, there should be a solution, right?" The Emperor looked at Dong Fang Li. Dong Fang Li's meekness lessened the anger in the Emperor's heart.

"Please enlighten me, royal father!" Dong Fang Li knew that the higher ups did not like people questioning him, so he acted very humbly.

"I won't care about whether this matter is right or wrong. Just marry the woman who is related to you! I originally wanted her to be my concubine, but after thinking for a bit, I can call her the second young miss of the Prime Minister. To do such a shameless thing and even making her a secondary concubine, this is a huge favor. Tomorrow you will go to the Prime Minister's Palace and settle this matter. The Emperor said slowly.

It was a good thing that Xia Caisi was the second lady of the Prime Minister's Estate, so her status was suitable for an imperial concubine. However, her reputation was ruined, the Emperor lamented to himself.

"Father, I …" He did not have any love for Xia Caisi, so he did not want to marry this woman who was a source of rumors for him.

"Don't be in such a hurry to deny it. This Emperor will give you time to think it over." The Emperor made a gesture to stop. How could he not understand his son's thoughts?

"Go see your mother! She wants to see you. " Seeing the unwillingness on Dong Fang Li's face, the Emperor slowly spoke up.

"Yes, your son shall take his leave." Dongfang Li knew that she couldn't persuade her royal father, so she could only take her leave first.

"Li'er, you're here. Sit." The Queen looked at Dong Fang Li who was walking towards her and gave a gentle smile.

"Mufei, what do you need this son for?" Dong Fang Li bowed. Once she sat down, she impatiently asked.

"Can't the Queen Mother find you if there's nothing? Does Li'er dislike the Queen Mother? " The Queen looked at him and the absent-minded Dong Fang Li smiled. There was not a single trace of dissatisfaction in her words.

"Li'er doesn't dare." Dong Fang Li said respectfully.

"Since you don't mind, then accompany mother for a cup of tea before leaving." The empress smiled elegantly.

She gracefully began to brew the tea. The empress had a gentle temperament, and her every move was graceful and elegant. The empress who brewed the tea had an even more elegant aura.

The irritation in Dong Fang Li's heart gradually disappeared.

"Taste it." The Queen pushed the brewed tea in front of Dong Fang Li.

Dong Fang Li picked up her teacup and sipped on it. She felt that something was wrong and looked at the Queen.

"Can you taste the difference?" The empress gently sipped her tea as she smiled.

"Why is the tea so tasteless?" Dong Fang Li was very suspicious, and did not understand what the Empress meant.

"I didn't put any tea leaves in this tea house. Li'er, do you know why it is inconvenient for the Queen Mother to put in tea leaves?" The Queen put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Dong Fang Li.

"I don't know." Dong Fang Li replied simply.

"That's because right now, you are too agitated and restless. So, even if mother put the worst tea leaves into the tea leaves, you would not taste any different when drinking them. Mother might as well not put them down." The queen calmly poured out the water in the teapot.

"This task is just like making tea and tasting it. One has to be neither hasty nor impatient to understand the meaning behind the tea. Only by carefully tasting it can one understand the meaning behind the tea." The empress's every move was filled with an indifferent air.

"Please enlighten me, Imperial Mother." Dongfang Li suddenly realized that the Queen Mother was teaching him.

"You're too impatient today." The Queen took out some tea leaves and began to brew them.

"The second daughter of the prime minister. Although the empress doesn't like her, marrying her will bring you quite a bit of benefits. Why wouldn't you marry her?" the Queen asked while the tea was brewing.

"I like her, not her." Dong Fang Li answered truthfully.

"Mother has seen that little girl before. She's a pretty good person." When Xia Caixi was mentioned, the empress recalled the previous meeting and realised that it was indeed not a bad one.

"Then mother …" When Dongfang Li heard this, she instantly became excited.

"You can marry her later. You can marry Xia Caisi first." The Queen interrupted.

"Xia Caisi gave her to you for free. Although it was an accident, it's the truth. If you don't marry her, you'll freeze the prime minister's heart and if you chill the prime minister's heart, you'll lose the prime minister's power." The Queen analyzed the information bit by bit.

She can marry later, but the most important thing is that you can become the emperor. When you become the emperor, the world will be yours, and there will be no need to worry about not marrying a woman. At that time, if you have the choice of a woman, you might be able to marry her. The Queen passed the brewed tea to Dong Fang Li.

"As for Xia Sizhu, it's fine if you don't marry her."
