Chapter 1290: Ascend the throne and become emperor! (1)
Liangzhen is located near Yijing, and the two places are only dozens of miles apart. So the news that Ye Mingsheng was persuaded to surrender by Yuan Song, Zhao Han and other Fengwu generals, as well as tens of thousands of Fengwu soldiers in the Liangzhen camp, quickly spread to Yijing City. Public opinion, which had long been guided by the Coordination Office, was even more intense, and the people were discussing this matter one after another!

There was no surprise in the Ye Mansion at this time. In the backyard, Jinyu was dressing up Ye Cui. Jinyu was Ye Cui's personal maid, so she was very skilled in dressing up Ye Cui. She did it quickly and well, which made Ye Cui very satisfied.

"Jinyu! You always do such a good job, girl!"

Facing Ye Cui's praise, Jinyu immediately said:
"It is Jinyu's blessing to be able to serve mother!"

Hearing Jinyu's words, Ye Cui also smiled and said:
"You are such a filial girl! It's a pity that you are such a child. God didn't allow you to give Mingsheng a son or daughter!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Jinyu, who was originally smiling like a flower, suddenly looked dim. Being unable to bear children was the biggest pain in her life. For this reason, she had seen many doctors, taken a lot of medicine, and even used many folk remedies, but she could never get what she wanted. After experiencing too many failures, Jinyu had to accept this fact very painfully.

Seeing Jinyu’s gloomy expression, Ye Cui felt even more distressed. She bought Jinyu since she was a child and had always brought her with her. Because her husband passed away early, Ye Cui had only a son, Ye Mingsheng, and no daughter. So even though Jinyu was called a maid, Ye Cui often treated her as half a daughter...

"Don't worry, Jinyu. When there's a suitable one, I'll let them adopt one for you. It's not a big deal!"

After hearing what Ye Cui said, although Jinyu knew very well that no biological mother would be willing to give her own flesh and blood to someone else, but looking at Ye Cui's confident look, Jinyu felt a glimmer of hope in her heart.

After comforting Jinyu for a while, Ye Cui changed the subject and asked:

"What's going on with Mingsheng? When will he be back?"

Upon hearing this, Jinyu preached without hesitation:
"I heard that my husband has already arrived at the Liangzhen camp. He should be back soon!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Cui's eyes flashed with anticipation, and she immediately said with a smile:

"This child left in March, and has been gone for almost a year. Now he is finally going home!"

At this time, Jinyu continued:

"Mother! I heard that Yuan Song, Zhao Han and others persuaded my husband to come in from the Liangzhen camp, saying that the Great Zhou was unkind and the Great Qian should prosper. They also put a yellow robe on my husband in front of tens of thousands of soldiers and called my husband "Long live my husband", but my husband refused!"

"My husband also said that since he is a minister of Zhou, he will not commit treason and he will continue to assist the little emperor!"

Speaking of this, Jinyu also said with some concern:
"Mother, doesn't my husband want to be the emperor? How could he refuse?"

Seeing Jinyu's worried look, Ye Cui gently pinched Jinyu's face and said with a smile:

"Since you are so eager for your husband to become the emperor, are you a concubine?"

Jinyu was a little embarrassed by what Ye Cui said, but she did not hide it in front of Ye Cui. She lowered her head and blushed and replied softly:

"Jinyu's thoughts cannot be hidden from her mother..."

Seeing that Jinyu admitted it frankly, Ye Cui caressed Jinyu's face with some pity. Although An Miaoyi and Murong Qingwu acted like obedient little wives in front of her, Ye Cui was not stupid. She knew that Murong Qingwu and An Miaoyi each had their own thoughts.

Among her many daughters-in-law, Jinyu, who was raised by Ye Cui since childhood, was the closest to her and the one who was the least sceptical towards Ye Cui.

Thinking of this, Ye Cui also comforted:

"Jinyu, don't worry. Since ancient times, every dynasty has refused to abdicate. You can't be so eager to put on the dragon robe as soon as others support you, right? If you do that, won't it be a topic of criticism in history books?" "Since Mingsheng has come to this point today, it is imperative to move forward without retreat!"

Speaking of this, Ye Cui also said in a deep voice:
"After Mingsheng becomes emperor, Miaoyi will definitely be the queen, Murong Qingwu and Pei Zhixiu will definitely be the imperial concubines, and the rest will be you guys!"

Hearing this, Jinyu nodded silently and said:

"Sister Bai gave birth to a pair of children for my husband, and the Bai family has also made great contributions to the court. Sister Bai will also become a noble concubine!"

When Ye Cui saw Jinyu mentioned Bai Yuanyuan, she said calmly:
"After all, Bai was married before. It's a blessing for her that Mingsheng likes her. Giving her a position as a concubine is already very good. She wouldn't dare to ask for more. After Jinyu Mingsheng becomes emperor, you won't be able to earn the title of imperial concubine, but mother will definitely let Mingsheng make you a concubine!"

Jinyu was stunned at first, and then she was very moved and said:
"mother···················"

Just as Ye Cui was about to say something, a maid came over and reported:

"Madam, the eldest lady comes to greet you!"

Hearing that An Miaoyi was coming, Ye Cui nodded, and at this time Jinyu beside her also started to fix her makeup.

A moment later, An Miaoyi also walked into the room and bowed to Ye Cui and said:

"I pay my respects to you, mother!"

"Miaoyi, get up quickly!"

An Miaoyi immediately stood up upon hearing this, and at this time Jinyu also bowed to An Miaoyi and said:

"Jinyu greets the Madam!"

An Miaoyi also smiled and nodded and said:

"Among all of us sisters, sister Jinyu is the most filial!"

Jinyu felt a little embarrassed when she heard this and said:

"I am the most useless among all the sisters, so Jinyu only hopes to serve mother well!"

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged a few polite words, An Miaoyi reported to Ye Cui:

"Mother, my husband will rest in the Liangzhen camp tonight and will return to Yijing around noon tomorrow. I know that you have been thinking about Mingsheng, so I came to report to you as soon as I got the news!"

"It's rare that you have this kind of heart, Miaoyi. How have you arranged for the little emperor? Will he not cause any trouble tomorrow?"

Seeing Ye Cui asking this, An Miaoyi hesitated for a moment and said:
"This little emperor is a little rebellious, but I have asked his family to persuade him, and we have made other plans!"

Ye Cui nodded and said:
“Tomorrow we will do this in front of all the people of Yijing. This is very important to Mingsheng, and there must not be any mistakes…”
