Just a few days after the wedding, the original owner stayed in the study every night.

"My Lord." The maid's voice came from outside the door, "Are you awake? Let us help you wash and change clothes."

Ji Yang said, "Come in."

Hearing this, the maid outside the door breathed a sigh of relief and came in with water and head down.

"No, I'll do it myself." Ji Yang raised his hand to stop her. After washing, he took the court dress handed over by the maid and asked casually, "What is the princess doing recently?"

Hearing this, the maid was slightly stunned. Since the princess entered the mansion, the prince has never taken the initiative to mention a word. On the wedding night, the princess was left alone in the empty room. He ignored her after three days of returning home, and the princess went back alone. Not only that, in the past few days, the prince has been visiting brothels and listening to music. Yesterday, he brought a singing girl back to ask for an imperial decree to make her a concubine.

The princess has just entered the house, but now she is the laughing stock of the whole city.

"My Lord, the princess is not feeling well today. I heard that she caught a cold after returning from Ling Mansion and is recuperating." The maid replied.

Ji Yang frowned slightly, "Ask the warehouse to pick some good supplements and send them over, saying that it is the king's intention, so that the princess can take good care of herself."

"Yes."

After a while, Ji Yang walked out, got on the sedan chair, and went to the palace.

The Xianwang Mansion is not far from the palace, and it will take half an incense stick of time.

The red walls and yellow tiles not far away show the majesty of the royal family, which is particularly magnificent. The golden roof and red door of the palace make people feel solemn.

The current emperor Ji Yichen is a wise monarch. He is a fellow of the original owner and was born to the queen mother.

In addition, there are three princes, the second prince Ji Yao, the fifth prince Ji Chao, and the eighth prince Ji Xing, all of whom have been crowned kings.

Jiahe Hall.

The hall is supported by many red pillars, each of which is carved with lifelike golden dragon patterns. A man in a golden yellow robe sits on the dragon throne, with a majestic face, looking at the ministers below.

Ji Yichen has been in power for a short time, and his wings are not yet fully grown. He has to be more tolerant. Every time he goes to court, he competes with a group of old naughty boys.

After a debate, no one gave in. Each faction was unwilling to give up its own interests, and they were fighting openly and secretly.

Ji Yichen was furious and waved his hand, "Dismiss the court!"

"Long live the emperor." Everyone knelt down.

Ji Yichen snorted coldly, walked down, passed by Ji Yang, looked at his brother who stayed out of the matter, and his tone was full of regret. In the end, he only said, "Go and accompany the mother more often."

"Yes." Ji Yang lowered his head and spoke indifferently.

After the emperor left, everyone gathered together and whispered.

Ji Yang turned around and walked back. Seeing the person in front of him, he said respectfully, "Father-in-law."

The person in front was slightly startled, his cloudy eyes were filled with anger, and he had a stern face. Due to the other party's status and the sight of the people around him, he said stiffly, "Your Highness, there is no need to be polite."

"Prime Minister Ling is Yu'er's biological father, so he is naturally my elder, as it should be." Ji Yang replied.

Ling Wei sneered in his heart. He did a good job on the surface. If it weren't for so many people, he really wanted to ask, why didn't his "good son-in-law" return home after three days of returning home? Of course, he took his father-in-law seriously?

"I still have to go to see my mother, so I'll go first." Ji Yang said again, and walked out.

Ling Wei pursed his lips tightly, with extremely unhappy eyes.

"I heard that Miss Ling didn't have a wedding night after she got married, and Prince Xian didn't accompany her back home. Prime Minister Ling was so embarrassed that everyone in the city is laughing at him now."

"Not only did she not have a wedding night, but she didn't even call her princess when she went to the palace to offer tea and express gratitude the next day. She went to the palace alone in disgrace."

"Is this too much? I heard that the prince brought a singing girl back to the palace and doted on her."

...

"Hmph!" Ling Wei looked sinister, snorted coldly, and left with a flick of his sleeves.

His reputation for half his life was ruined by this incident, and Ji Yang was backed by the emperor and the empress dowager, so there was nothing he could do.

Jiatai Palace.

"Prince Xian is here."

Ji Yang walked in, and the person who was lying on the soft couch with her eyes closed opened her eyes and slowly stood up. She was wearing a golden cloud-smoke shirt embroidered with peonies, and her hand, which was placed on the side, was wearing armor inlaid with several sapphires.

This person is the current Queen Mother Zhao. She is over 40 years old, but her face has not shown any signs of aging. She looks like she is 30 years old, with plump skin and elegant demeanor.

"Mother." Ji Yang called.

"Are you free to come and see me today?" The Queen Mother took the hot tea handed over by the palace maid, took a sip, and spoke lightly.

Ji Yang was silent.

The Queen Mother was angry again. After all, he was her son. She had scolded him, but he didn't change at all, which made her helpless. After all, she was a woman in the deep palace. She quickly calmed her anger and said, "Sit down."

This son didn't know who he took after. He was willful and reckless, and there was no rules in his eyes. Even if she had more means, if Ji Yang went against him, she would be completely helpless.

Ji Yang sat down on the side and said bluntly, "The emperor asked me to come and see my mother."

"If the emperor doesn't let you come, you won't come to see me?" The queen mother put down the cup with a "pop" sound, her voice was majestic, "How long are you going to make trouble? The matter is a foregone conclusion. Do you want to be laughed at by the whole city?"

"I don't want to see you become enemies, and it's all for a woman. How can this be?"

"If I were to choose again, I would still choose Ling Yu as your princess. As for Mo Tian, ​​she will not enter the palace, but she will never have any contact with you."

When it comes to this topic, the queen mother's good self-restraint disappears, and her chest rises and falls violently with anger.

It’s not that she didn’t know that Ji Yang had been obsessed with Mo Tian for a long time, but that woman was extremely ambitious and looked down on a mere Princess Xian.

“Queen Mother, calm down.” The nanny stepped forward to calm her down.

“Noble Concubine Mo wants to see you.”

The Queen Mother took a few breaths and looked at Ji Yang again. After waiting for a long time, she returned to her expressionless look and said, “Let her in.”

The person who came in was a woman in a maroon floor-length Wangxian dress. She wore a jasper phoenix hairpin on her head, a light layer of rouge on her face, an oval face and phoenix eyes. She looked delicate and elegant, a rare beauty.
