After receiving the result of infertility, Dongfang Zhi was so angry that he walked away.
Today he was not only embarrassed, but also ruined all hope for his future.
He hated Ye Xingyue in his heart, and even more so, the Prime Minister's Mansion.
He felt that how could Ye Xingyue, a little girl who had just returned from the Taoist Temple, dare to offend his noble prince like this?
It must be Ye Xiaohan who is behind the plan.
Once Dongfang Zhi left, it didn't take long for the rest of the people to find an opportunity to disperse. Everyone was worried about the future of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After all, even though Ye Xiaohan was the prime minister, held a high position and was the head of hundreds of officials, he had completely offended the second prince today.
After everyone dispersed, Ye Xiaohan glared at Ye Xingyue, "Look at the good things you have done."
The first half of his banquet today was lively, and the second half was downright thrilling.
He never thought that his fiftieth birthday would end like this.
Because of Ye Xingyue, he completely offended the second prince.
Although the second prince is not something to be afraid of, if the second prince is playing tricks on him behind his back, it will still be enough for him to drink a pot.
He has always believed that peace is the most important thing, and Ye Xingyue's actions today made him quite dissatisfied.
"Dad, I'm helping you. You have to choose between the prince and the third prince after all. I don't believe you will choose the prince.
"Although I offended His Highness the Second and seemingly offended His Highness the Third today, in fact His Highness is not completely without benefits.
"Because the Prime Minister's Mansion rejected His Highness the Second Highness's proposal of marriage, which cut off his ambitions and forced him to rely on His Highness the Third Highness honestly in the future. This is of great benefit to His Highness the Third!"
Ye Xiaohan looked at Ye Xingyue in surprise, "Ye Xingyue, what are you talking about! It's just nonsense!"
"My father knows very well whether I am fooling around or not. Is my father so afraid of offending His Highness? Anyway, you will not agree to his marriage proposal. Sooner or later, you will offend him."
"Don't guess about your father's thoughts..."
"Does my father not trust his daughter and is he guarding me? I am my father's daughter, and everything I do and think is for the sake of the prime minister's house.
"Father, you don't have to hide anything from me. If I guess or think wrong, you can tell me. I also have ways to correct the consequences of what happened today.
"In short, the daughter will obey her father from now on. Whatever her father says will be whatever she says."
Ye Xiaohan looked at Ye Xingyue deeply. This daughter had grown up in the Taoist temple for eighteen years before coming back. She knew a lot.
"How do you know what it means to be a father? You've only been back for a day and you already know so much? Besides, the prince is Dong Gong, what's wrong with choosing him?
"Why choose the third prince? He is not the eldest son, and he is not the daughter of the queen, so his chances of ascending to the throne are not great in the first place!"
Ye Xingyue said, "Father, today the Prime Minister's Palace has cut off the future of His Highness the Second. It is actually beneficial to both the Crown Prince and His Highness the Third. Father can choose whoever he wants."
"Just choosing the prince is very safe, but it has no merit. Because he is already the prince, what can choosing him do to help him? Consolidate his position as prince?
"Even if I try my best to help the prince, I won't get many benefits.
"If the father chooses the third prince, it will be very different. The father assists the third prince in ascending to the throne. This is my father's greatest contribution!"
"Who told you this?"
Ye Xingyue's vision and strategy made Ye Xiaohan surprised, happy and afraid.
If this daughter is really his help, he will naturally be overjoyed.
But father and daughter have been separated for eighteen years and have little affection. He has to be careful about many things and has to guard against Ye Xingyue.
Ye Xingyue knew that Ye Xiaohan was guarding against her, and she also knew that to Ye Xiaohan, the relationship between father and daughter was nothing, and interests were the most important thing.
He should be on guard, as long as he sees enough benefits, he will not reject the existence of her daughter.
