After the divorce, King Zhan cried and begged me to remarry

Chu Nanli didn't care whether Bai Wuhen would do as he said.

She will not forgive anyone who has hurt her on behalf of the original owner.

But equally, she would not even deny them the opportunity to actively atone for their sins.

On the other side, King Lingnan and Lu Xinyue were also ready to enter the palace for an audience.

"Father, I have become friends with Chu Nanli in the past few days. I think I will be able to get close to the Regent through her in a while."

Lu Xinyue explained her progress in the past few days in front of King Lingnan.

She was extremely confident in her plan, and felt that as long as she took action, she would be able to successfully catch up with Ye Jiuxiao.

"That's very good. I have already said that Ye Jiuxiao is a man. As long as he is a man, how can there be someone who doesn't like beauty?"

The Lingnan King's eyes were full of confidence. Just looking at them this way, they looked very much like father and daughter.

"As long as we can capture Ye Jiuxiao, the emperor has nothing to fear!"

Lu Xinyue's eyes lit up. She originally wanted to say something more, but she had already reached the palace gate and it was obviously difficult to speak again.

She followed the King of Lingnan and bowed obediently to the emperor.

The emperor looked at her with a smile: "Yue Yatou has become more and more mature over the years. Fortunately, you are not as impatient as you were when you were young. You look like a lady at first glance!"

"Your Majesty really praises Xinyue. Xinyue is only so well-behaved in front of you. Normally in front of me, she is so out of control!"

The King of Lingnan had a smile on his face, as if he had a woman and everything would be fine.

He looked completely different from the way he looked in the carriage just now.

"Then I can't keep you here anymore. My mother has prepared refreshments. I'll have someone take you there."

The emperor intended to send Lu Xinyue away, so it was natural that Lu Xinyue could not fail to understand the meaning of these words.

After Lu Xinyue left, the emperor asked someone to give King Lingnan a throne.

"Is everything okay in Lingnan?"

The emperor did not blame him for coming to see him now. Instead, he was extra magnanimous and asked about the current situation of the King of Lingnan.

"I also received a statement before, saying that you wanted to make your legitimate son the heir apparent. Why did you come back later and tell me that the matter was over?"

"My son is still young. I want him to learn how to be loyal and patriotic for a few more years so that he can better serve His Majesty in the future!"

The King of Lingnan spoke with great humility, wishing he had the word surrender written all over his face.

His words made the emperor feel very happy.

He originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity for the vassal kings to enter the capital to win over and suppress the various vassal kings, especially the King of Lingnan.

Lingnan has become a lot richer in the past two years, and it has become even more prosperous under the governance of the King of Lingnan.

If he could control such a large area in his own hands, then his chances of winning against Ye Jiuxiao would naturally be greater.

"I know your loyalty to me."

The emperor was extremely satisfied with King Lingnan's attitude at this time, and his eyes softened when he looked at him.

He even pretended to be sincere: "As long as you are loyal to me, I will naturally remember your kindness."

He didn't see the disguise of King Lingnan at all, and thought it was his imperial aura that frightened him, and also suppressed several other vassal kings.

As long as he can gather these forces in his hands and unify the world, he will definitely be regarded as a wise king by future generations!

"Thank you for your appreciation, Your Majesty!"

The two people in the palace actually have their own agendas. It's just that they didn't show it in front of each other.

On the other side, Lu Xinyue had successfully met the Queen Mother and gained her favor.

"The Ai family remembers that your child is not married yet, right?"

Lu Xinyue said with a shy face: "Returning to the Queen Mother, my father said last year that he would find a husband for me. It's just that there are too few good men in Lingnan and they can't compare with those in the capital, so it has never been decided."

"There are indeed many young men of the right age in the capital. The Ai family asked the queen to help you look for them. If you can find a husband in the capital, you will be in the capital from now on."

"The Ai family sees that your child is in love with you, so you should come to the palace more often to accompany the Ai family."

When the Queen Mother said this, she naturally had her own considerations.

Although Lu Xinyue was only the daughter of King Lingnan, the Queen Mother had heard about her in the capital that she was favored by King Lingnan.

If Lu Xinyue can be kept through marriage, she can naturally become a pawn to check and balance the King of Lingnan.

But now the Queen Mother has begun to make secret calculations in her heart.

She and the emperor had the same idea, they both wanted to win over the King of Lingnan.

It's just that the emperor is for power, and the queen mother is more for stability.

The Queen on the side listened to the Queen Mother's words and silently agreed without making any comments.

She was used to restraining her sharpness in front of others and pretending to be indifferent to the world.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but feel a bit of dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes as she looked at her.

Regarding the fact that the emperor favored Concubine Yang Shu too much, she naturally hammered the emperor, telling him not to be too partial and to pay attention to maintaining the queen's majesty as the head of the central palace.

But who makes the queen dissatisfied?
First, she didn't fight for favor, and second, she didn't want to plan for the prince. She only knew how to eat fast and chant Buddha's name all day long. It's no wonder that the emperor didn't like her.

Concubine Yang Shu next to her, her eyes lit up when she heard the Queen Mother's words.

If she could get Ye Yunting to marry Lu Xinyue, wouldn't she be able to get help from the King of Lingnan?

Of course, it was impossible for Concubine Yang Shu to express her inner thoughts directly, but the look she looked at Lu Xinyue became much more eager.

"The Queen Mother is only thinking about Xinyue, so why should I not agree?"

When it comes to her marriage, Lu Xinyue is not as shy as an ordinary noble lady, but instead exudes a free and easy spirit.

"If you find the right person, just tell your father, he has been looking forward to marrying me off for a long time!"

In fact, the Queen Mother prefers lively ladies to those who follow the rules.

Lu Xinyue's words obviously touched her heart.

"Then it's agreed, the Ai family will let someone help you!"

"Mother, why do I need to trouble you? Don't we have the right person in front of us?"

"Ting'er and Lao Wu are not married now, why don't the queen mother let the princess take a look at them first?"

Concubine Yang Shu was determined to fight for her son, but she did not dare to show it too obviously, so she could only reluctantly bring the fifth prince who had just left the palace with her.

But her plan was still revealed by the Queen Mother.

In front of so many people, the Queen Mother did not have an attack, but responded calmly.

"The Ai family doesn't do anything messy. If you have someone you like, just talk to the Ai family and the Ai family will definitely help you."

The Queen Mother's words made the smile on Lu Xinyue's face brighter: "Then Xinyue will thank the Queen Mother first."
