Ye Chunnan entered the palace as soon as he returned to the capital. On his way back, he already knew the news that Ye Zhen had abdicated the throne to Shui Yichen. This news was sent to him by Ye Rou via pigeon. The world should not have received the news yet.
He had to tell this to Murong Ke immediately so that he could think of a way to deal with the diplomatic relations with Yuan Country.
Ye Zhen becoming the Heavenly Concubine of the Yuan Kingdom and Shui Yichen becoming the Emperor of the Yuan Kingdom were two completely different things. Thinking about the relationship between the two countries in the past four years, Shui Yichen was not the Emperor yet. In the future, they would be even more incompatible.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Seeing Ye Chunnan walk in hurriedly, Murong Ke raised his eyebrows and looked at him. The Baili Continent had already stopped fighting. Yesterday, he had also received the truce letter sent by Mo Rongzhan. Within ten years, the Qi Kingdom was not allowed to invade the Jin Kingdom. Was there anything else?
"Yaoyao gave up her position to Shui Yichen." Ye Chunnan said anxiously. He had originally thought that Yuan Country would be given to Ming Yu in the future. Now that it was in Shui Yichen's hands, it was impossible for him to hand it over.
Murong Ke smiled faintly, not feeling particularly surprised. "So it's because of this matter."
Why was he reacting like this? Ye Chunnan stared at him with wide eyes, "The emperor already knew?"
"I should have guessed it." Murong Ke said calmly, "They don't even want the Jin Kingdom anymore, why would they want the Yuan Kingdom? For the past four years, the Yuan Nation has been under Shui Yichen's control. If Yaoyao goes back to be the Heavenly Consort, it will not be easy for her to win the hearts of the people. What she did … is good. "
After forcing Qi Country to stop the war for ten years, she would step down. Not only would she be remembered by the people of Yuan Country, Shui Yichen would also take care of Ming Yu in the future.
Although Ye Chunnan knew that Yaoyao's decision was the best choice, she was still somewhat unwilling. "Shui Yichen is sinister and cunning. I don't like him."
"It doesn't matter if you don't like it." Murong Ke smiled faintly and said, "We can't change this matter anymore. Let's face it calmly. We'll wait and see. After Shui Yichen ascends to the throne, we'll see if he will continue to maintain diplomatic relations with the Jin Nation."
"Then I'll go find Yao Yao first." Ye Chunnan said.
"Are they back?" Murong Ke asked in surprise. He came back with Ye Chunnan because of Ye Zhen.
Ye Chunnan was similarly stunned. "Yaoyao and the rest aren't back yet?"
"I thought you would come back with them." Murong Ke said with a frown. There was no news of them in Yuan Country. If they did not return to Jin Country or go to Yuan Country, where would they go?
"I didn't even see them." Muttered Ye Chunnan with a frown. He had heard the news of the ceasefire even before he arrived at the Baili Continent. Thinking that it would be useless for him to go, he had decided to return home. On the way back, he had heard the news of Yao Yao abdicating her position, which was why he had rushed back.
Murong Ke thought of the two's temperament and felt helpless. "Maybe they went somewhere to play."
"They sure are relaxed." Ye Chunnan snorted.
"Forget it, let's wait for them to come back." Murong Ke said in a low voice. The two of them were willing to abandon their noble identities. They probably just wanted to be an ordinary couple. Why should they disturb them?
Ye Chunnan had no choice but to stop mentioning Ye Zhen and the others. In his heart, he felt that it was good that Ye Zhen and the others did not come back. With their identity and status, no matter where they were, he was afraid that someone would sow discord.
"Your Majesty, this official will take his leave first." Ye Chunnan missed his wife and children at home and wanted to go back to find them.
"Wait." Murong Ke stopped Ye Chunnan. "You don't seem to have anything to do recently. How about I leave the selection to you?"
Ye Chunnan was so frightened that he knelt down and stayed. "Your Majesty, the selection is a major event of the imperial court. This official is just a military officer. How can I be competent?"
"That's true. It's fine if it's outside the palace, but it won't be convenient for you when you enter the palace in turn. However, the only master in the palace is Ming Yu. I can't let Ming Yu do this." Although he had already asked the steward aunt in the palace to teach Ming Yu how to deal with palace affairs, and even if the beautiful ladies were to enter the palace in the future, Ming Yu would still be in charge of the rear palace, but Ming Yu was still a child and couldn't manage the consort selection. She could help watch from the side.
"Or … give it to Ah Yi." Ye Chunnan hesitated for a moment. He did not know if Mo Rongyi was willing to take the task.
Murong Ke was silent for a while. It was not that he did not think about Mo Rongyi. In the past, when Mo Rongzhan was not around, there were always people in the court who wanted to use Ah Yi to deal with him. If Ah Yi was willing to accept the throne, it would be easy. Although Ah Yi did not say it out loud, he still had some complaints in his heart.
"Princess Yi is the mistress of the royal family. It is most justifiable for her to preside over the selection, but …" Ye Chunnan glanced at Murong Ke. "Princess Yi is pregnant. The little prince should be reluctant to let her work hard."
Since Mo Rongyi returned with Zhao Ning, Murong Ke had not seen him.
Ye Chunnan glanced at Murong Ke. "Your Majesty, the little prince is a simple and kind person. He will not harbor any resentment in his heart."
"I know." Murong Ke nodded lightly. "You haven't seen your child for a few days. Go back."
"Then I will take my leave." Ye Chunnan replied in a low voice. The Jin Kingdom seemed to be full of flowers, as if it was peaceful and prosperous. Who knew how many people in the court had other intentions. Some people were naturally unwilling to be left alone. Especially after Mo Rongzhan and the others returned, they were probably planning something behind the scenes again.
After all, Mo Rongzhan and Murong Ke were not the same person. The ministers that Mo Rongzhan used to put in important positions might not be useful to Murong Ke. There would always be people who were not satisfied.
After Ye Chunnan left, Murong Ke sat quietly in the imperial study for a while.
The afternoon sun was shining brightly. Two distinguished guests came to Prince Yi's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, Ming Yu?" Mo Rongyi looked at them in surprise. He was very surprised that they were at Prince Yi's Mansion.
"Little Uncle." Ming Yu's smile was bright and beautiful.
Mo Rongyi stared blankly at his little niece, whom he had not seen for a long time. He then looked at Murong Ke. After a while, he came back to his senses. "Why are you here?"
"I heard that Little Aunt and Jun Ge are back. I am here to look for Jun Ge." Although Ming Yu was naive, she was smart and quick-witted. How could she not know that Murong Ke brought her to Prince Yi's Mansion not only to let her see Little Aunt?
"I will bring you there." Mo Rongyi said in a low voice. His attitude towards Murong Ke was very cold.
Ming Yu smiled and said, "I can go by myself. I still know the way."
"Let her go. I have something to discuss with you." Murong Ke said to Mo Rongyi.
"If Your Majesty has something to say, you can just send someone to tell me. Why did you come personally?" Mo Rongyi said lightly. He invited Murong Ke to sit in the hall.
Murong Ke said, "I brought Ming Yu out to relax."
"What orders does Your Majesty have?" Mo Rongyi asked in a low voice.
"How is Princess Yi's health?" Murong Ke did not answer but asked about Zhao Ning's health.
