Yun Jingxi pondered for a moment, his lips slightly raised.

"Then it's fine to take them along. But I see that your maids are all pretty. If I take a fancy to one of them, would you be jealous?"

Li Meier heard this, her tone was charming and gentle:

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. It is Mei'er's blessing to be able to serve you. As long as the emperor likes it, Mei'er will be satisfied. How can I feel jealous?"

After hearing this, Yun Jingxi felt even happier and he gently pinched Li Meir's chin.

"Your little mouth is so sweet, I have to taste it again."

"..."

Ever since the emperor arrived, the entire Feng Mansion seemed to be shrouded in a joyful atmosphere. Everyone from top to bottom was busy and stayed up all night.

Feng Tingjing was lying tiredly in Aunt Bai's arms.

Aunt Bai's clothes were disheveled, but she looked gentle and lovely.

"Master, please relax. Since the emperor is interested in Li Mei'er, he will definitely confer the title on her tomorrow morning. There is no need for you to worry about this."

Feng Tingjing sighed and frowned.

"What I'm worried about is not this, but the treasures in the mansion's storehouse have disappeared. If the emperor asks about it, how should I answer?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Bai also felt a little confused.

Those treasures were the dowry of the original wife. What do they have to do with the emperor?

The emperor is the supreme ruler and has seen all kinds of treasures. How could he be interested in something from a mere official?

She couldn't help but ask, "Master, what's so special about those treasures? Why do you value them so much?"

Feng Tingjing shook his head and said helplessly: "I don't know either. It's just that the emperor seems to be looking for something, and he has been bothering me for quite some time."

Aunt Bai thought of another thing and felt a little lost.

Normally at this time, Feng Tingjing would have already been tormenting her.

But recently, no matter how she tempted him, the master seemed to have no interest.

She asked tentatively, "Master... have you been overworked recently, or are you ill? I always feel that you are a little cold to me. Do you not like me anymore?"

"What are you thinking about? I'm just a little upset lately, not cold to you.

Besides, how could I not like you?"

Aunt Bai felt relieved, but then she thought of another thing.

She hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke:

"Master, do you know that the old lady and the mistress have been getting sicker and sicker recently?"

Feng Tingjing felt nervous when he heard this.

He thought of all the strange things that happened in the mansion and couldn't help feeling a little scared.

Could it be that this bitch was responsible for all of this? Did he really want to wipe out the Feng family?

Aunt Bai felt a little uneasy when she saw Feng Tingjing looked worried.

Her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Master, why don't we ask the Emperor to invite a royal doctor to check on the people in the mansion tomorrow? If there is anything wrong, it can be discovered early."

Feng Tingjing nodded.

"You're right. But how can we easily invite an imperial physician? Unless..."

Before he finished speaking, Aunt Bai understood.

She whispered, "Master, have you forgotten? If the emperor canonize Li Mei'er tomorrow, we can use her name to invite the imperial physician. Since the emperor likes her, he will definitely agree."

Feng Tingjing was overjoyed when he heard this and patted Aunt Bai's hand.

"You are smart. This way, we can rest assured."

That night, everyone in Feng Mansion was filled with joy.

Feng Ruoyan, on the other hand, was rummaging through the drawers in her room, trying to find her most beautiful clothes.

She decided to pay her respects to the emperor early tomorrow morning in order to win his favor.

The maid Xiangru looked at Feng Ruoyan with confusion.

"Miss, what's the matter with you? Why are you still worrying about tomorrow's clothes in the middle of the night?"

Feng Ruoyan had a grim look on her face and said coldly, "What am I going to do? That Prince Duan bullied me. Although the scars on my face have healed, the scars in my heart are hard to heal.

What I want to do is not only to seek revenge, but also to stand at the pinnacle of power and become the emperor's woman."

When Xiangru heard these bold words, she was frightened out of her wits.

She advised in a trembling voice: "Miss, please calm down. The emperor is in Li Mei'er's courtyard right now. She is now your aunt. If you do this, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."

Feng Ruoyan heard this, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, she snorted coldly:

"You mean, I'm not as good as Li Mei'er who came from a brothel? Humph, how can I, Feng Ruoyan, be willing to be inferior to others? What I want is power and status. Only by becoming the emperor's daughter can I avenge my previous shame."

Xiangru saw that the young lady had made up her mind and knew that it was useless to persuade her any further, so she could only sigh inwardly.

She understood that the young lady's obsession was so deep that it would be difficult for her to turn back.

Feng Ruoyan at this moment seemed to be driven by a crazy idea, and her mind kept echoing the humiliation that Prince Duan had brought to her.

She swore that she must have power, must stand at the pinnacle of authority, and make those who had humiliated her pay the price.

However, she also knew that becoming the emperor's woman was not easy.

She needs opportunities, strategies, and more importantly, an ally who can lend a helping hand.

Just then, Xiangru suddenly remembered something.

"Miss, why don't you go and discuss it with the master? He may be able to help you think of a solution."

Feng Ruoyan smiled coldly and shook her head.

"Father? He only has that Aunt Bai in his eyes now. How can he still remember me, his daughter? If he really wanted to help me, why would he let me suffer so much?"

Xiangru felt bitter when she heard her words.

She knew that the young lady was telling the truth. The disputes in Feng Mansion had already made the young lady discouraged.

Just as the two fell into silence, Feng Ruoyan's eyes suddenly fell on the pile of clothes on the bed.

She frowned, as if thinking about something.

"Xiangru, tell me, how can I meet the emperor?" she suddenly asked.

Xiangru thought for a moment and answered quietly:

"Miss, it's not easy to see the emperor. The emperor's whereabouts are uncertain, and there are many guards around him. It's really difficult for us to get close to him."

When Feng Ruoyan heard this, a hint of unwillingness flashed in her eyes.

She was unwilling to give up like this.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Xiangru quickly got up and opened the door, only to see a maid hurriedly walking in.

"Miss, there's news from outside that the Emperor has favored Li Meir and is preparing to enthrone her as a concubine. Now the news has spread throughout the Feng Mansion!" the maid said breathlessly.

Feng Ruoyan's face suddenly turned pale.

She clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms.

"Why is it so soon? It's not even daybreak yet, and the emperor likes that prostitute so much? I haven't even started my plan yet, and she's going to be canonized as a concubine?"
