"Shangshu Ye, is the report from the Imperial Secretary Xu true?" Mo Jingqi asked Ye Wenhua with a smile. The king's warm smile made Ye Wenhua feel a little cold for no reason.

"Emperor... I am wronged, I am wronged..."

"Mr. Ye means that Lord Xu has falsely accused his colleagues? But as far as the officials know, someone saw Ling Ai and His Highness Li get in the Double Ninth Festival last year. At that time... His Highness Li and Miss Ye San have not yet terminated the engagement?" Another censor stepped forward and glanced at Ye Wenhua and said. Although these officials in the Censorate have no real power, they are all people with real talents and knowledge. Most of them are disdainful of being in conspiracy with others, and of course they are not afraid of offending others. The censors are not guilty, and as long as they are not nonsense, even the emperor cannot blame them, what else can others do?

"Yes, I seem to have heard from my wife mention this matter. I heard that Miss Ye Si and... were also traveling hand in hand at this year's Lantern Festival." Ye Shangshu's old rival, Concubine Liu's father, the Minister of Personnel, naturally did not fall behind and put the blame. The daughters of Liu Ye's family fought to the death in the palace, and the two families in the court fought openly and secretly. Unfortunately, the Ye family has a shallow foundation. Since they have climbed the big tree of King Li, they cannot shake a large family like the Liu family for a moment. What's more, Ye Wenhua is still impeached by his own family in his backyard and was impeached by his outside family if he doesn't take the opportunity to step on him. Although King Li is the emperor's younger brother and the support of the queen mother, his Liu family is not a vegetarian. His two grandchildren and granddaughter are the emperor's princess.

"Jingli, what do you say?" Mo Jingqi glanced at everyone in the hall and asked with a smile on Mo Jingli, who had a gloomy face.

The hall was silent for a while before hearing Mo Jingli say coldly: "I have nothing to say."

Some conservative old ministers snorted coldly in their hearts, and their evaluation of the prince was even lower. There was indeed nothing to say. Such things were originally something that the people would not sue the officials, but it was not an exaggeration to punish them once they were turned out. Who made Mo Jingli and Ye Ying so arrogant at the time that they thought no one dared to say anything, and they openly went out to the right place. Not only the officials in the court, but many people even knew about it. Now the more quibbling the Xu family was revealed, the more embarrassing it.

The ministers of the King Li team naturally could not watch their master swallow the mute loss, and quickly went out to report, "Report to the emperor, Miss Ye San is not worthy of His Highness Li without talent, virtue and appearance. What's more, His Highness Li is now accusing her of marriage with Miss Ye Si."

Xu Jingshi sneered and said, "Since King Li questioned Miss Ye San's talent and virtue, he would just break the engagement openly and find a good marriage. Why do you have to do such a sneaky thing? As far as Xiaguan knows, Miss Ye San was dismissed from the engagement on that day, and did not show any fierce performance, nor did he refuse to break the engagement. Miss Ye San's virtue can be imagined. What's more... The engagement between His Highness and Miss Ye San was... given by the First Emperor!" Who is more important than the Empress Dowager's marriage or the Empress Dowager's marriage? To put it seriously, the Empress Dowager gave a engagement that was completely contrary to the Empress Dowager, which can already question the Empress Dowager's virtue.

"..." Qing, a loyal minister who protected the master, retreated with a white face. While watching the fun, the rest expressed sympathy for those who were ignorant of the people who were trying to go up and compete with the Xu Jingshi. Who would have a little knowledge of the fact that the second son of the Xu family, Nian Shiliu, became famous in one battle. He became much low-key in recent years, but it does not mean that he has suddenly become rude.

"Okay, Shangshu Ye has a self-defense?" Mo Jingqi stopped the person who was still ready to speak.

Ye Wenhua's officialdom has been going from an ordinary candidate to a second-rank official for so many years. He knew that Xu Jingshi was prepared and he really could not defend himself, so he simply confessed his guilt. "I have been neglecting the affairs of the mansion for many years and did not discipline the little girl. I asked the emperor to punish him." The man should not interfere in the inner government, and it is completely understandable to neglect the affairs of the mansion. The emperor obviously did not intend to solve his rightful minister and his favorite younger brother because of this trivial matter. Because he was very satisfied with Ye Wenhua's current knowledge, if he continued to argue, he might be forced to punish him more severely. "Since that is the case, Ye Shangshu fined his salary for one year, and King Li, who was fined half a year. In addition, Miss Ye San was very virtuous and gave him 100 taels of gold and 300 taels of jade, which was considered as my makeup for Mr. Qingyun's granddaughter."

"Thank you for your grace," said Ye Shangshu with a pale face.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Yushi, who looked calm.

"Thank you, my brother." His Royal Highness Li, the more gloomy.

The impeachment seemed to end with the emperor's punishment, but the subsequent impact was far from over. Before Ye could return home after he went to court, the morning court had already spread throughout the aristocratic families in the capital at the same speed. There was nowhere to be heard that Ye Shangshu sold his daughter to seek honor and found that King Li didn't like his poor three daughters, so he instructed the fourth daughter Ye Ying, known as the first beauty in the capital, to seduce His Highness Li. One person said the rumor, and one hundred people said the facts. No matter where he went, Ye Shangshu seemed to feel that others looked at him differently than usual. In the end, he could only endure the depression and hurriedly handle the affairs and go back to the house.

When Qingshuang told Ye Li about the rumors outside with gloating look on her face, Ye Li just smiled faintly and ignored it. She was just worried that this action would cause any trouble for her uncle. However, the second uncle was not a reckless man who was ignorant of his qualities. Since he did this, he naturally had his own reasons and ideas. However, he was a little surprised that his father did not take his anger for this incident. After all, after Ye Shangshu returned to the house in anger yesterday, even Wang and Ye Ying had a meal. Perhaps it was not that he did not intend to take his anger on her, after all, he had already rushed into Qingyixuan yesterday, but he turned around and went out without saying anything.

Perhaps it was a rare sudden guilt? He glanced at the simple decorations in the room indifferently, and Ye Li thought casually.

Sitting leisurely in front of the window, she lowered her head to embroidery, and a purple iris flower gradually took shape under her hands. Embroidery is something that requires patience, and Ye Li, who was once a sniper in her previous life, lacked the least patience. In this life, her mother taught her embroidery herself since she was six years old, and she gradually fell in love with this art over the years. Because of her memories, Ye Li naturally had more experience and insight than people of this era, and her things under her are always more unique charm and aura than others.

A burst of noise came from the yard. Ye Li frowned and raised her head, "Qingxia, what's going on outside?"

"Miss, it's Young Master Rong who is back. He is clamoring to see the young lady outside the yard." Qingxia replied respectfully.
