Chapter 37 Rumors
When Chu Yixun arrived at the Queen's palace, he found that the Queen was waiting for him, and he knew that he was late.

But even though he knew the result, Chu Yi still made his request.

Whether the Queen agrees or not is one thing, whether he says it or not is another.

Even if there is no result, he has to make his attitude clear to his mother. He can't let these two elders always let Jinshu do whatever he wants in the palace.

"Mother, it is unreasonable for Jinshu to summon men from other families into the palace every day."

When the queen saw Chu Yi talking about etiquette with a serious face, she suddenly laughed out loud: "When you say this, you are exactly the same as your father."

"Mother, I am not joking with you."

Chu Yi interrupted the Queen seriously, and the Queen stopped laughing, but her eyes were still full of gloating: "When Jinshu asked me for the token, did I tell you?"

Chu Yi pursed his lips. He was indeed in the wrong on this point: "It's my fault."

To a certain extent, the prince's mild temper and his ability to correct his mistakes are all due to the queen's teasing.

The queen was satisfied: "It's good that you know you are wrong. Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

Chu Yi opened his mouth, but was a little hesitant.

The Queen saw through it and knew what Chu Yi was hesitating about. She sighed and said, "Your father has always told you that as the Son of Heaven, you can only be alone and cannot trust others. You can only trust yourself."

"But mother also told you that the emperor can have someone to accompany him, but it is hard to find such a person."

"At the beginning, your father and I didn't think we would end up together. He was afraid that you wouldn't be as lucky as him and wouldn't be able to find the person to go with you, so he taught you not to have any expectations from the beginning."

The Queen beckoned Chu Yi to her side and raised her hand to touch his face: "But how can I, your mother, watch you like this?"

"You have no romantic feelings for either Jinshu or Ye Ruoyan, and your mother knows all this. You are a good child and have taken your marriage into account, but occasionally, you should also think about the fact that in addition to being the crown prince and the future emperor, you are also Chu Yi, a person with joys and sorrows."

"My mother is very happy that you can come to my palace today, and so is your father."

Chu Yi is a smart man. He is too smart, so he suppresses himself after realizing his feelings.

He thought this was dangerous.

But now the Queen told him that he could actually have something to look forward to.

Father has met him, hasn’t he?

Chu Yi put his face against the queen's palm and said, "Mother, if Jinshu comes to ask you for the sachet that Ye Ruoyan sent you, don't give it to her."

The Queen became interested and asked knowingly, "Oh? Why? You know that I can never refuse that girl's request."

"If you don't give it to her, she will have no choice but to come to me."

The queen remained silent and looked at Chu Yi and began to hint.

Chu Yi understood what she meant and lowered his voice resignedly: "Mother, I beg you."

The Queen was satisfied: "Okay, I'll do as you say this time. If you make Jinshu angry again next time, your mother won't help you."

"Yes, I will remember this."

"If you really don't have any interest in Jinshu, then let go earlier. I think Jinshu hasn't been so obsessed with you these days. She..."

Before the queen finished speaking, Chu Yi interrupted her: "I don't want to let go."

This was the first time that Chu Yi expressed his attitude towards Ye Jinshu so directly in front of the Queen.

If it were before when Ye Jinshu was still obsessed with him, the queen would naturally feel happy, but now she can only pray that her children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.

In the past, Jinshu wanted to use the marriage contract to keep Yier, but now it's completely the other way around. The queen sighed and suddenly dismissed everyone.

When only she and Chu Yi were left, she said, "If you can keep Jinshu, it's your ability, but Jinshu doesn't like Ye Ruoyan. If you want to keep her, what should Ye Ruoyan do?"

At this moment, there was no trace of discomfort on Chu Yi's face.

He was also calm and composed when talking about Ye Ruoyan, and did not show any of the doting on Ye Ruoyan that he did in public.

"Ye Ruoyan, as long as she can be trapped, it will be fine. I think my fourth brother and the prince of Yonglin Marquis's mansion both like her very much."

The Queen did not respond, but just said: "It would be great if you could think like this in the future."

When a woman gradually accumulates prestige, power, and other benefits that only she can give, at that time, no emperor can give her up.

Chu Yi too.

But the queen doesn't want to talk about this now.

After all, nothing has come true yet.

They are also unable to determine how far Ye Ruoyan can go.

Anping Palace once again became the focus of attention in the palace.

The reason is naturally the incident of the prince being on the list.

In the past, there was no sign saying "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince" on the gate of Anping Palace, and the palace servants would sigh that the princess only liked the crown prince, and that the crown prince was the only one in the palace who could control Princess Anping!

Their prince is omnipotent!

But now, the myth of the prince's omnipotence has been broken.

At least, he couldn't enter Anping Palace.

The second prince felt relieved. He was finally no longer the first on the list of those banned from entering Anping Palace.

When the third princess saw that Ye Jinshu dared to treat her own brother like this, she was so angry that she challenged Ye Jinshu. Unfortunately, she didn't even get into Anping Palace and burst into tears outside of Anping Palace. The prince came to pick her up in person.

The Fourth Prince was shocked that Ye Jinshu now even ignored the Crown Prince, but at the same time, his desire to see Ye Jinshu again became stronger.

The fifth prince. The fifth prince has lost Ye Jinshu's protection and is now unable to take care of himself.

All parties were secretly speculating whether this was a new method used by Princess Anping to attract the prince's attention, or whether she really did not want to see the prince.

Originally everyone thought it was the former, until a kind-hearted person who did not want to be named revealed that she had seen the storyteller who came out of the princess's palace. He was extremely handsome, and from a distance, he was no less handsome than the prince!

Then everyone understood.

What is the best way to forget a man? Of course, it is to find the next man.

It seems that the princess has found the next one.

At this time, someone asked again, doesn’t the princess have the title of Crown Princess?

According to many insiders, the reason why the princess was the crown princess was because she liked the crown prince. The emperor and empress doted on the only son of this loyal minister and gave him away directly.

And now, if the princess no longer likes the prince, depending on how much the emperor and empress love her, they may directly cancel her engagement with the prince and choose someone the princess likes instead.

After such rumors gradually spread in the palace, no one stopped them, resulting in a sharp increase in the difficulty for Xiao Cui to send Ji Yanqing out of the palace in recent times.

Ye Jinshu really doted on Ji Yanqing. In addition to Xiao Cui, he assigned two of the Ye family's secret guards to escort him out of the palace.
