It had to be said that even though he had been slapped, but … Liang Yi, on the other hand, didn't seem to have any intention of repenting. He continued to think that Yan Ling actually liked him.

Liang Yi had explained his impulsive actions in the hall to his mother, Consort De.

Consort De did not approve of this idea from the bottom of her heart, but it was still her own child. If possible, Consort De did not wish for her own prince to always listen to her and not have her own opinion.

It had to be said that the Consort was a very ambitious woman who wholeheartedly wanted to give birth to her own prince. Train him to be the next heir. Therefore, Consort De still approved that Liang Yi had his own ideas on some matters.

Consort De only felt that this matter was inappropriate because of her words …

Although Liang He didn't display anything, Consort De had also heard what degree Liang He had reached for his words.

Even though Yan Ling was the Prime Minister's daughter, he was not as noble as a prince. However, since the Crown Prince was willing to act decisively in such a manner, he was completely bewitched. In that case, this Yan Ling did not seem to be a simple character.

If he placed this scheming person by his son's side, Consort De didn't know what was going on, and would naturally feel worried.

However, Consort De also felt relieved. As a woman, even if she were to continue, how could she be scheming or scheming? But what could she do without the support of a man?

It was said that she was married to a husband. No matter how extraordinary Yan Ling was, she was still a woman and would eventually get married and have children. Even if a man couldn't hold her back, there would still be children in the future.

No matter how unwilling this woman was, once she had a child, she would put her mind on it instead of having unrealistic fantasies. Love or something like that would end abruptly at a certain moment.

She had originally been thinking about how to deal with this situation, but the more she thought about it, the more Consort De thought about it. In the end, even Consort De who had been fighting in the palace for so many years couldn't help but sigh.

Consort De, there was a time when she was naive and innocent. At that time, she wasn't the emperor's concubine, but a girl who followed her beloved into the capital.

However, Consort De did not expect to be able to come to this bustling city and spend the rest of her life in happiness. They were all ruined in this magnificent yet cold palace.

If she were to be honest with him, Consort De felt that she had not forgotten about that man. However, things had already gotten to this point and she had not seen any storms before.

As soon as she entered the palace, she felt as deep as the sea. From then on, Xiao Lang was a passerby, and she understood his reasoning. What's more, her Yi'er was already this old. His status as a prince would bring him great honor, but it would also bring him great danger.

Consort De's only thought was to hold her son well and let him ascend to the Dragon Throne. After that, the mother and son duo stood at the highest position in the kingdom.

Having been here for so many years, Consort De could see clearly that nothing was important. Power was the foundation of everything. If the Emperor wasn't the Emperor, perhaps he wouldn't be here today.

"I'm serious now. The older I get, the more I think about it." Consort De thought absent-mindedly for a while before sighing to herself.

"What are you saying, esteemed Empress? This servant has accompanied the Empress ever since she entered the palace." From this servant's point of view, the Empress had remained the same for so many years. Otherwise, how could her Holy Pet not have weakened? " An elderly mama by her side comforted her.

"Aunty, you've followed me for so many years, there's no need to say these words to me." The most mortal world can't stay, and Zhu Yan has to give up on her. Who would still look the way they did in the first place? " Consort De smiled without a care.

"Empress, why should you care about this? As long as the Third Prince is well, the Empress will not be able to enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future." The nanny said with a smile.

"That's right, it wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't the way it was back then. If it was still the way it was back then, how could I have survived until now?" "Right now, I only hope that Yi'er will be fine." After all, she had been a mother for a long time. Now that she mentioned her child, Consort De's tone was filled with love.

"It's just that in recent years, the emperor seems to have taken a greater liking to His Highness the crown prince. A while ago, the third prince was placed under house arrest by the emperor. I'm afraid there's someone behind the scenes as well." The two of them were the only two people in the room, so there was nothing to worry about.

"Since I have already reached such a state, I can only move forward and not retreat. What I have done all these years is to become a man above others, to no longer be controlled by others. "If someone wants to stand in front of Yi'er and me, we can't talk."

Consort De was clearly smiling, but there was a cold look on her face. Her fingernails wrapped around the Immortal Phoenix Flower and accidentally fell onto the ground, wetting a small area of the floor.

"Momo, I want to hold a banquet in my own palace and invite all the ladies in the capital to come along with the juniors. Please help me prepare the invitation." Consort De looked at the patch of red on the floor and said without a care.

"Yes." Although mama didn't understand why her master suddenly had a whim, after doing for so many years, she knew one thing. As a servant, she shouldn't have asked any further questions.

However, just as she reached the door, Consort De suddenly called out to her, "Send someone to deliver a letter to the Yan family's young miss. She must be here, she is your esteemed guest."

The nanny lowered her head and assented before retreating out of the room. If one were to say that she didn't understand the situation earlier, then when it came to Yan Ling, this mama could be considered to have understood the intentions of her master.

A few days ago, Third Prince had come to find esteemed imperial concubine to discuss some matters, so she had some knowledge of the situation. It looked like this time, Consort De wanted to hold a banquet to see exactly how the young mistress of the Yan family was faring.

By the afternoon, the empress dowager had already sent her invitation to Yan Ling. When Yan Ling saw the item in his hand, he felt annoyed and helpless for a while.

Ever since his rebirth, although he had been able to avoid as much as he could, he had attended quite a few banquets, many of which were banquets held at Hong Gate.

As for what the banquet was about, even if Yan Ling was not too clear about it, she could at least think of one thing.

And last time, he had just beaten the Third Prince. Even if the Third Prince had to give face, he wouldn't tell Consort De about it. However … As for how narrow-minded the Third Prince was, Yan Ling had a certain understanding of him. It was hard to say whether or not he would make things difficult for him during the banquet.

However, this sort of thing could not be avoided just by knowing it. Yan Ling couldn't stop the Concubine Concubine from hosting the banquet, nor could he prevent the Third Prince from making things difficult for her.
