"There's another matter, it's about those few in the backyard, they've been a bit unruly these past couple of days," Ye Jiu said truthfully.
"What are they up to now?" King Jing was clearly irritated.
"What could it be? It's obviously about vying for position. You're the Crown Prince now, the future ruler of the empire, and the only legitimate son was deposed as the Princely Heir with a reputation for stupidity. So naturally, everyone's getting ideas; everyone wants to rise up!"
Previously, due to King Jing's heavy suppression, along with the temptations Ye Jiu offered, life seemed dull, and they refrained from competing.
But now it's different. What they stand to gain isn't just a royal residence, but the whole realm, so naturally, they're being unruly, reminiscing about yesterday when even Aunt Li, who always knew her place, started to mock and challenge Ye Jiu sarcastically. It would be a wonder if Ye Jiu could tolerate this.
