One had to say, the ministers in the court were truly disgusting.

This was not a big matter, not a small matter. It would not ruin the banquet, but it would still prevent the Emperor from carrying out the Six-Part Revolution.

She did not believe that those adults would truly believe her words and let go of her, the 'culprit', not taking any action against her.

If they were already dead, why would they need to kill so many more people?

Xiao Shaorong did not directly answer Ji Yunkai's question. Instead, she replied, "There is a young lady from a branch in Xiao Family that is the Crown Prince's wife." Coincidentally, the person in charge of purchasing flowers, plants and fruits was the Princess of Xian County.

"I remember that the Illustrious Princess is a member of the Zhang Family. If I remember correctly, the Zhang Family should be inclined towards the Emperor." The royalists have laid their hands on the emperor, and this is so...

"A girl from the Zhang family married into the Wang family. The thoughts of the Wang Clan are unfathomable. " The four great families of Feng Qi, King Xiao, were all related by marriage, but not closely.

The Four Great Families' defenses were very deep. Usually, the current generation would have direct descendants that would form an alliance with the Four Great Families, and within three generations, the direct descendants would not be allowed to form an alliance with the main branch.

Of course, he didn't care about the branch. The branch family basically could not interfere in the family affairs, the marriage alliance did not play a decisive role.

However, the Wang family's actions in the past few decades had made everyone wary.

Xiao Shaorong's great-uncle's grandmother was a daughter of the Wang family, and the missus of the Feng family was also a daughter of the Wang family. Not long ago, the Wang family was trying to get the position of the Qi family's Young Master's wife;

Other than the direct line of descent, most of the Wang Family's branch girls also married the members of the Xiao Family, while the Wang Family's young masters married women from families with actual authority.

did not believe that the Wang Family did not have any ambitions.

"If it isn't for the rights, then the Wang Clan's position is the only one they want. I heard that the eldest daughter of the Wang family is already sixteen this year and is still unmarried? " Ever since Feng Qi returned to the capital, he started to pay attention to the matters of the Four Major Families.

It had to be said that the four families had been thriving for hundreds of years, and they had a lot of things to do with each other, and their relationship was extremely complicated.

"About that … The Wang family has always kept it a secret. I heard that Feng Ning likes her, but unfortunately, the Wang family does not plan on marrying her as the eldest daughter. " Xiao Shaorong knew that Ji Yunkai definitely wouldn't ask about this for no reason at all.

"The Wang family's plan is not small." Ji Yunkai guessed that maybe this was not the doing of the adults, maybe the Wang Family took advantage of the situation and stirred up the situation, in order to gain benefits.

Even if it was the work of those adults, the Wang family would definitely know about it.

"About that … The person on the map should be the phoenix throne. I received a piece of news a while ago, I wonder if it is fake? " When Ji Yunkai said this, Xiao Shaorong could guess one or two things.

Regardless of whether this was done by the Wang Clan or not, the Wang Clan must be involved in it.

"What news?" Ji Yunkai raised her head and asked.

"It's about the phoenix pendant." Xiao Shaorong did not beat around the bush and directly said, "There is a rumor that after a hundred years of accumulation, the Phoenix Guards are no longer what they were before.

"So?" Ji Yunkai suddenly realised, was she using a hot potato?

However, this hot potato in Xiao Jiu'an's hands made her feel slightly at ease.

"The battle for the position of Revelation will be even more terrifying and complicated than I imagined." The Phoenix Guard was originally set up by the founding queen to protect the crown prince and empress, but she didn't expect it to become like this.

As expected, no matter how good a mechanism was, as long as the person using it was wrong, there would be a problem.

"Who is the empress? The last one to have the emperor nod his head. Was this news released by the Emperor? " At the moment when the Emperor decided to choose an imperial concubine for the throne and pass on the news, Ji Yunkai had no choice but to think further.

Now that His Majesty wasn't a puppet, no matter how powerful the officials were, they couldn't force the Emperor to take any side.

In the end, those who could sit in the back seat would definitely be people who could satisfy the emperor, and those who could please the emperor. The empress and her family would be able to be used by the emperor, as well as by the emperor himself.

"It's hard to say. All these years, the Wang family had been moving closer to the royal family, and even his in-laws, the Feng family, had a good relationship with the royal family. But when Feng Qi returned, the Wang Family's plan fell through. " Xiao Shaorong knew that Ji Yunkai had a plan in mind, and she did not reject to tell Ji Yunkai about this matter.

The more you know, the better you won't wander around and make mistakes.

"Whether or not the Wang family participates, think of a way to let the emperor know about the flowers and fruits. Don't let the Wang family trample on our position." In the end, the Wang Clan had no other thoughts. Otherwise, she would have let the Wang Clan know what it meant by 'getting water from a basket'.

"The amount of fresh flowers and fruits required for the palace banquet is enormous. Since it's winter now, we won't be able to prepare it in a short period of time." This matter was uncertain in the end, but the Wang Family had really come out to "share the worries of the Jun Family".

"I'll think of a way to deal with these matters. You only need to let the emperor know that something has happened." As for the emperor, could he suspect the Wang family?

To be honest, Ji Yunkai couldn't guarantee it. After all, all these years the Wang family had been loyal to the Emperor. Even if the Emperor suspected her, he wouldn't necessarily suspect the Wang family.

"Alright." Xiao Shaorong did not ask any further, she got up and took her leave, but called out to him, "Oh right, is there any news about the Duke?"

Ji Yunkai believed that Xiao Jiu'an would definitely not leave her alone in the capital, but she did not dare guarantee that Xiao Jiu'an would definitely return before the Spring Lantern Festival.

Seeing Xiao Shaorong, Ji Yunkai couldn't help but ask.

Deep in her heart, she was still worried.

"Prince?" Xiao Shaorong was startled, as he recalled the hidden guard's hint at him. He paused for a moment, then shook his head: "No. The war in Yanbei has just ended, I'm afraid the prince will be busy for a while. "

The secret guard said that the Prince left Yanbei three days ago and rode all the way to Jade Peak Mountain. But...

His Highness didn't want the wangfei to know about this.

Ever since the six word letter from last time, Xiao Jiu'an had not received any news at all …
