"Isn't this the empress's car? Why did you go to the prime minister's mansion?"

Everyone was whispering and discussing, I don't know who showed hesitation, rolled his eyes and said: "I heard that the queen wants to leave the palace and go to her mother's house to recuperate, and now the driver has come out, could it be..."

The person who spoke was no more than the fifth rank, and he was wearing a green robe, which was very unremarkable among the ministers dressed in red and purple.

When he was talking, he carefully looked at Ye Kang who was standing in front of the palace gate.

Everyone followed his gaze and saw Ye Kang squinting his eyes as if he didn't hear everyone's conversation.

"This old fox, he must know the reason!"

At that moment, someone muttered to themselves and walked to where Ye Kang was, intending to ask Ye Kang about it.

Those who dare to contact Ye Kang have high official positions, and it is not easy for Ye Kang to neglect this lord.

Seeing him coming, he waved his hand with a smile and said: "Masters, don't worry, today is the day when the empress returns home to visit her relatives, and the old man is planning to hold a family banquet at home, so I have to pack up and go back early today. I have to trouble everyone to bring forward the matter as soon as possible!"

Ye Kang said this politely, but everyone was shocked when they heard what he said.

This is a big deal, the Queen's return home to visit relatives is not a trivial matter, but the Emperor actually kept the ministers from it, and did not reveal the news before.Besides, the queen is pregnant with a dragon heir at this time, if the child goes wrong outside the palace, no one can bear the responsibility.

Qin Qi, who came belatedly, happened to hear the words of the crowd, and immediately reprimanded Ye Kang: "Ye Xiang, this general can understand that you want the queen to visit the relatives and make the Ye family prosperous, but you don't care about the queen." The safety of the dragon in the belly is only for my own face!"

Qin Qi's words were full of anger, although he was planning to use this to attack Ye Kang.

Seeing that there was going to be a quarrel in front of the palace gate, the officials who were afraid of getting angry all kept silent, and only the cronies of Qin Qi and Ye Kang dared to come forward and "persuade" each other with one word.

Suddenly the scarlet palace door opened wide.Walking from inside came an extraordinary father-in-law, wearing a crown feather on his head, he was obviously a first-rank figure in the imperial court.

The father-in-law raised the whisk in his hand, not daring to offend the two powerful officials, he just smiled and said: "What are you two doing standing in front of the palace gate, the emperor is sympathetic to all the officials waiting at the palace gate, it is freezing early in the morning, The special servant takes all the adults to the side hall of the palace to warm up."

After saying this, the father-in-law made a gesture of invitation, and looked at Qin Qi and Ye Kang with a smile on his face.

The two looked at each other, Qin Qi hummed softly from his nasal cavity, while Ye Kang nodded to his father-in-law in a mature and solemn manner, and walked towards the palace.

Because Wen Zheng sent people here, a turmoil disappeared invisible.However, the fact that Ye Chu left the palace to go to Ye's family to raise a baby had a strong impact on the hearts of the ministers.

After the court came down, an official came up to talk to Ye Kang, expressing the hope that his wife and daughter could go to Ye's house to attend the banquet, but Ye Kang declined all of them.

"After all, the queen's body is precious, and this banquet is just a small banquet for a few members of the prime minister's family. How can it be convenient for Mrs. Ling to come and participate?"

Although Ye Kang was kind when he spoke, everyone didn't dare to offend Ye Kang. He lost face when he was rejected, so he could only stand aside with a smile on his face.

At night, when the Ye family held a banquet, Liu Ruyi specially asked the maid to arrange her seat beside Ye Chu.

Although Liu Ruyi has not been able to get close to her daughter for a long time, considering the differences between monarchs and ministers, even in the family banquet, there is still a bit of restraint in the intimacy.

This made Ye Chu a little disappointed. Although she was wary of Ye Kang, she was quite grateful for Liu Ruyi's sincere love.Liu Ruyi's cautious appearance at the banquet made her feel a pain in her heart, and she felt a little helpless.

Ye Chu took a look, the dishes on the table were all his favorites when he was in the boudoir, it can be seen that Liu Ruyi put a lot of thought into ordering the cook to cook.But now she didn't have any appetite, Ye Chu frowned slightly after looking up at the different expressions of everyone on the table.

Ye Chu took a fixed look at Ye Kang, but finally swallowed the words that came to his lips.Ye Kang is full of only his own plans, why has he ever cared about her daughter's sincere thoughts?

So Ye Chu pretended to be tired, put down the chopsticks in his hand, stood up and said lightly: "Father, mother, daughter is full, now go back to rest."

Ye Chu was the protagonist of today's family banquet, she had already left, and the others were not interested in continuing to eat, so the family banquet ended hastily with Ye Kang's pleasant words.

Liu Ruyi looked at Ye Chu's back in confusion, then at Ye Kang who looked calm, and finally couldn't help asking: "Why do I feel that you and Chu'er are a little strange..."

Hearing this, Ye Kang narrowed his eyes, with a meaningful smile on his face, and said: "Chu'er is in danger in this palace, and after a long time, she has learned to be restrained, and she is originally a quiet person. Personality, it's normal to talk less now."

Liu Ruyi was always foolish, so she didn't ask any more questions after hearing this.She also thought that the child in Ye Chu's womb was so old that the mother's body was tired and could not stand the torment.

But when Ye Chu returned to the courtyard where he lived when he was young, looking at the familiar furnishings in the boudoir, he felt that things were different.

She can still recall the memories full of family affection between herself and Liu Ruyi, but her status is different now, and the crisis she faces makes it impossible for her to be as relaxed as before.

Zhi Qing glanced at the hourglass placed in the corner, and advised: "Master, it's getting late now, if you don't rest anymore, I'm afraid it will be bad for your health."

Hearing the maid's reminder, Ye Chu withdrew his thoughts, with a bit of bewilderment remaining in his eyes.

"Forget it, then get ready to rest... Send someone to send a message to Madam, saying that I will leave the family banquet today because I suddenly feel tired, and I will have a good talk with her tomorrow."

Ye Chu was about to take a rest when he thought of Liu Ruyi's lost eyes when he watched him leave the family banquet.The mother and daughter haven't said anything personal for a long time, and Liu Ruyi also misses her very much.

Hearing this, Zhi Qing's eyes lit up immediately, and she hurriedly bowed her knees to Ye Chu and saluted.

"Master is right. Mrs. Liu's sincerity is always worth living up to. This servant will leave now! I will pass the news to Mrs. Liu tomorrow morning."

It was late now, Zhi Qing reckoned that Liu Ruyi had already rested, so naturally she couldn't bother her.
