The wife is fierce 530,000 words, and I'm still asking for a subscription on Tian Tian Shu Ba

  Yang Wei was made somewhat embarrassed by his sister's serious and solemn expression, and he rubbed his nose with a slightly red face, "I don't know about this either, but I think Sixth Brother is very filial, and also very favored by Uncle. Plus, Sixth Brother is a straightforward and broad-minded person... uh, that's just my own opinion." Being stared at by his sister's clear eyes, he gradually became speechless.

  Yang Lan's gaze turned to the parrot in the birdcage, with a faint smile at the corner of her lips, and a gentle yet determined tone, "It seems that Chu Yu still has some skills, able to tame my second brother so quickly. In the past, I've only heard that he's a bit too easy-going, but now it seems that he's fooled everyone!"

  Yang Mei smiled awkwardly, licking her face: "Sister, don't worry, this is just my private talk, I know what to do on the surface, I haven't done anything out of line. Even in the upper study, it's all one piece, no one has been favored over others. What does Father mean? We can't always be neutral, we have to lean towards one side eventually!" He scratched his head in confusion, clearly not understanding why his father was so even-tempered, and he could feel the strong smell of gunpowder even in the upper study, let alone on the imperial court.

  Yang Lan smiled carelessly: "If you and I can see it, then everyone in the world can see it. You'd better be careful, even if you like someone, you can't show a single thread of it. If you bring trouble to the family, that's a matter of destroying the nine clans!" She reminded her second brother to pay attention to his measure.

  Yang Wei's expression suddenly became more serious and her tone was also more solemn, "Don't worry, I understand this point!"

  "You don't have to worry, thinking too much is useless. With Father's seniority, whoever takes the stage won't make things difficult for him. Besides, Father isn't someone who can't let go of power. Last year, he tried to resign several times but was persuaded by the Emperor to stay on. As for Chu Yu, his status is enough, it depends on whether he has the ability or not. If he does, he'll naturally be able to stand in front of everyone. Without ability, this status will only be a sharp blade against him." Yang Lan isn't a politician, she's just analyzing from the surface level. The specific decision still needs to be made by her parents, what they say goes.

  "That's true, he doesn't even seem to be in a hurry." Yang Mei touched her forehead and felt that she still needed to cultivate herself, indeed just like her father said, she was too impatient!

  "I'd say the Emperor's decision is final, but the Empress might still have a chance." Yang Lan said with a smile.

  "Oh, how did you know?" Yang Wei's eyes lit up with interest as she asked.

  "If the emperor didn't have any ability, would he let the empress give birth to three children? You should know that the ninth prince was born many years after the empress's coronation, not to mention the eighth princess. This shows that there is affection between the emperor and empress. No matter what situation it is, it shows that the emperor is still satisfied with the empress and willing to let her leave behind descendants. I heard that Consort Yuanguifeng doesn't have any biological sons, only the seventh prince who was raised by her, whose birth mother was Xiuyuan who died in childbirth." Yang Lan said calmly.

  Yang Mei thought for a moment, and indeed it was so. The Su Imperial Concubine's family was also from a literary official background, and now they were also in power, with her father being the current Prime Minister, and countless students under him. However, his daughter had been in the palace for many years without bearing any children. Nevertheless, the Emperor was a person who cherished old relationships, so he still allowed Concubine Gui to raise the Seventh Imperial Son, but did not change Yu Die's birth mother, who remained the late Li Xiuyuan. On the other hand, the Empress's maternal family was not very prominent and could only be considered a second-rate aristocratic family, with only three or four people serving in official positions, and their posts were not particularly prestigious, which made things a bit awkward.

  Yang Lan feared he would misunderstand and added another sentence. "However, the fifth imperial son of Empress Shu is said to be good at both literature and martial arts, and the eldest imperial son of Empress Rong is not without a chance either. We need to keep our eyes open and not be deceived. In fact, it's not impossible to know the emperor's intentions."

  "Oh? What's that supposed to mean?" Yang Wei asked with interest, her eyes shining brightly and a curious expression on her face.

  "It's not a big deal for now, the queen's eldest son is not married yet, and once the marriage candidates of all the princes are announced, we can see some clues. Also, in a few years when I grow up, the emperor will also have arrangements, and who I marry will be able to explain some problems. After all, my mother is his own sister, they have deep feelings for each other, and the emperor values old relationships and family ties, so he won't let the Yang family completely fall down. He must leave something for future generations as a guarantee. Of course, this is just my childish guesswork, don't take it seriously. For important matters, we should ask father and older brother."

  However, Yang Wei thought it was not a bad direction for thinking, "I'll go back and learn from Dad, see how he says it?"

  Although he won't completely listen to his sister, he will discuss with his father and brother, which makes Yang Lan feel at ease. His brother won't take the initiative to cause trouble for the family. Although he appears arrogant and domineering outside, in the 49th city, he is also a mischievous person, but he has a good sense of proportion and is cautious in his dealings.

  "Has your brother told you? Tomorrow we're going horseback riding and drinking, I heard that Princess Fu'an, the eighth daughter of the emperor, might also be there." Yang Wei suddenly remembered something and spoke up.

  Yang Lan unexpectedly glanced at him and said, "Oh? Why didn't big brother tell me?"

  "It's possible to go, but the queen may not agree. The eighth princess is a bit weak and the queen is worried. Le An usually walks beside the queen, this time she invited Princess Fu An, who seems very happy and wants to go, but the queen hasn't agreed yet!" Yang Mei explained.

  Yang Lan thought for a moment, "Just be normal and fair, even when facing the six brothers, don't lean to either side, we shouldn't offend anyone, and it's better to build some good relationships at the right time!"

  "Don't worry, I understand." Yang Wei nodded.

  That night, the chessboard she brought back received high praise from her father. Her father also checked her writing and circled a few well-written characters to praise her. He said that he had already sent an invitation letter to Master Minghui and estimated that there would be a response in a few days. This made her very happy, and she played coquettishly with her father for a while before returning to the courtyard.

  The next day, Yang Lan got dressed and groomed early in the morning, led her sweat-blood horse with her big brother to go out. Before leaving, she met Li Biao Jie in the inner courtyard. Today, Li Biao Jie was dressed very beautifully, wearing a peach-red embroidered jade hairpin flower jacket, a white undergarment, and estimated that she had received guidance from the old lady. These days, she didn't dare to wear too plain colors again, even the hairpins on her head must have at least one more gold pin.

  "Older cousin!" Yang Lan smiled and greeted her first.

  Li Qianxue stood elegantly, carefully glancing at Yang Huan standing beside her, still as elegant and refined as ever, with an extraordinary charm. Unconsciously, a blush crept up to her cheeks. "Sixth sister, are you going out?"

  Yang Lan smiled and nodded, "Yes! The princess invited us out for a horse ride, let's bring back some good food for our cousin when we get back!"

  Li Qianxue nodded shyly, "Then you guys go quickly! Don't be late, little sister should be careful when riding a horse, and brother-in-law should also pay attention and drink less wine, too much wine is bad for the body!" After saying that, she looked at Yang Huan with a mixture of shyness and nervousness, lowering her head but couldn't help sneaking glances at him.

  Yang Lan looked at her older brother, and there was a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes. Her sister's thoughts were so obvious that she didn't believe her brother was completely unaware.

  Yang Hao's face was stern, looking somewhat serious, his deep and clear eyes gazed at his sister's mount, gently patted it, and nodded slightly, "Hmm! Let's go, it's not good to be late!"

  Not having seen a good show, Yang Lan suddenly felt bored and led her beloved horse out, not forgetting to wave goodbye to her cousin, "Cousin, go ahead, don't catch a cold, I'll bring you some delicious food when I come back."

  Li Qianxue smiled and waved goodbye, but in her heart she felt a pang of sadness. Why didn't he even lift his head to take one last look at me?
