The royal family reads her mind, and the cannon fodder daughter creates the Feihou Mansion

The reason why he wanted to buy this courtyard was entirely because it was adjacent to the Imperial Master's Mansion, so that the Sixth Prince could gain the support of the Imperial Master by being close to the mansion.

Therefore, it is even more impossible to offend the Imperial Master's Mansion because of a courtyard.

Although no one in the capital had ever seen the eldest daughter of the Imperial Master's Mansion, they had all heard that the eldest daughter was the apple of the Imperial Master's eye and was raised by the Imperial Master himself.

So unlike other disciples, this young lady even took the imperial teacher’s surname.

Shen Zhikang asked the steward: "Is the eldest lady of the Imperial Master's Mansion really back?"

Didn’t they say that the eldest lady would stay in Shengyun Mountain to practice?

The Imperial Master has returned to the capital and there has been no news for so many years. How come he suddenly returned to the capital?

The steward replied according to the housekeeper's previous instructions: "I don't know much about the affairs of the Imperial Master's Mansion."

Shen Zhikang was suppressed by the Imperial Master's Office and had to give in. He felt very depressed, but then he thought of something and his eyes were full of calculating smiles.

Song Zheyang was confused: "How can you still laugh when you didn't buy the yard?"

"How can I not laugh?"

Shen Zhikang's eyes were filled with conspiracy and calculation: "Since you want to recruit the national teacher, it is better to go straight to the goal instead of taking a detour."

The more Song Zheyang listened, the more confused he became: "What do you mean?"

"The eldest lady of the Imperial Master's Mansion has returned to the capital."

Shen Zhikang's words were concise, but Song Zheyang understood immediately: "You mean to let the Sixth Prince marry the eldest daughter of the Imperial Master's Mansion?"

The Sixth Prince still has no engagement, and he has to admit that this is the most effective way to establish a relationship with the Imperial Master's Mansion.

Shen Zhikang smiled and asked, "Why not?"

No matter how high the status of the imperial teacher is, he is still a subject. What's more, she is called the eldest daughter, but in fact she is just an orphan adopted by the imperial teacher who came from nowhere. No matter her status or bloodline, she is far less noble than the noble ladies in the capital. It is a great fortune for her that the Sixth Prince can marry her as his principal wife.

Song Zheyang explained: "What I mean is that the Imperial Master may not agree. When he came to the capital, he did not bring the young lady with him. His excuse to the public was that he wanted her to continue to practice in Shengyun Mountain. But in fact, everyone knows that the Imperial Master did not want her to be involved in the power struggle in the capital, and he did not want her to have anything to do with the royal family."

The smile on Shen Zhikang's face faded, his eyes were full of viciousness: "Then he has no say in that!"

If he couldn’t handle the unfathomable imperial master, could he not handle a weak woman who was brought up in pampering?

As long as they can get the emperor's precious daughter, they won't have to worry about the emperor not helping them.

The news that the eldest daughter of the Imperial Master's Mansion was about to return to the capital quickly spread throughout the city during the Spring Banquet and became a hot topic at the banquet.

In the palace, listening to everyone's discussion, Ji Ziche raised the corner of his lips and smiled.

Ye Xuan Ke felt a chill coming over him, and shivered as he hugged his arms: "Second cousin, why are you suddenly laughing so... so weirdly?"

He originally wanted to ask why he was smiling so sinisterly, but then he remembered that his second cousin from his aunt's family was narrow-minded and vindictive, and he was afraid that he would hold a grudge against him, so he changed his words temporarily.

"Have it?"

Ji Ziche stroked his smooth chin with his slender fingers: "I am just sighing that my senior brother is really as good as a god in predicting things."

Hearing him mention Qin Xubai, Ye Xuanqi paused for a moment as he brought the glass of wine to his lips.

After raising his head and drinking the wine in the glass, he asked Ji Ziche with difficulty: "Is cousin Xubai okay?"

"very bad!"

Ji Ziche said straightforwardly, and then looked at Ye Xuanqi with dissatisfaction: "How about it, are you satisfied with this answer? The fourth prince of the Ye family."

"I just want to know..."

Ji Ziche interrupted him: "Since you know the difficulties of the General's Mansion, why don't you fight for that position? If you can...why is the General's Mansion like this? Why is the eldest brother like this?"

Ye Xuanqi looked painful, but he just drank one glass after another silently.

Ji Ziche slammed the wine glass in his hand onto the table: "Forget it, why should I tell you this?"

"Big Brother, we will save him ourselves, but if you, the Ye, dare to do anything bad, don't blame us for turning our backs on you! It's just a throne, we can just let someone who is willing to obey sit on it!"

He spoke lightly, as if obtaining the throne was as easy as drinking tea and eating meals on a daily basis.

But neither Ye Xuanqi nor Ye Xuanke had any doubt about his words, because they knew very well that the forces behind Ji Ziche were fully capable of doing it.

In order to ease the tense atmosphere, Ye Xuan Ke changed the topic to the hot topic everyone was discussing: "Second cousin, does the Imperial Master really plan to accept another female disciple?"

Ji Ziche asked casually, "What do you think?"

“……”Uh, how did he know?

Ji Ziche was in no mood to keep it a secret, so he just said, "Who knows?"

Then he stood up and left.

Ye Xuanke complained to Ye Xuanqi dissatisfiedly: "Fourth brother, what kind of person is he? It's rare for us to meet, but every time we meet, he acts as if he has a grudge against us..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and Ye Xuanke suddenly drooped his head in dejection: "The one who caused his senior brother to be in such a situation was the father, so doesn't that mean there is a grudge?"

Then he looked at Ye Xuanqi and said, "Fourth brother, do you hate father?"

Qin Xubai is the only legitimate son of Fourth Brother's uncle, and also the cousin who grew up with Fourth Brother. He can fully understand that Fourth Brother has complaints against their father.

Ye Xuanqi lowered his eyelids to hide all the emotions in his eyes: "Born in the royal family, there are always many things that are beyond your control."

After the Spring Banquet ended that day, Song Yunxi also heard the rumor that the Imperial Master was planning to accept a new female disciple.

He stopped preparing the medicine and pondered for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking about. Then he called Qing He and said, "Go and call Wang Yuan. I have something for him to do."

Master Huicheng traveled, and Wang Yuan stayed in the mansion to serve the young lady wholeheartedly. No one in the capital would ever connect these two people together.

Qing He couldn't help but once again marvel at Wang Yuan's superb disguise skills. She really didn't know how he did it.

When Wang Yuan arrived, Song Yunxi showed him the painting she had drawn: "Can you disguise yourself as this person?"

Seeing the person in the portrait, Qing He's eyes almost popped out of her head in shock: "Miss, this isn't... isn't..."

Song Yunxi asked Wang Yuan again without caring: "Can you do it?"

Wang Yuan thought about it carefully for a moment and then gave his answer: "Sixty percent. This person is so good-looking that I can only achieve a sixty percent resemblance at best."

After a pause, he added: "I was only talking about appearance."

He was indeed very confident in his ability to disguise himself, but he could not disguise himself to match a person's demeanor, especially the god-like person in the painting.

If he had not played the role of the highly respected Master Huicheng for half a year and had not gained some confidence, he probably would not have had the confidence that he could even play the character in the painting 30% like him.

"enough."
