Ming did not recognize Ye Ling, who had been disguised for a while, and only then did he know that after hearing the sound.

"Shu'er, go and do your business." Ming said to Baili Su.

Baili Su went out, Ming took Ye Ling's hand and said with a smile: "I misunderstood last night, and I thought Su'er was treating you... Later, I forced him to ask, and he told the truth."

Tell the truth? Ye Ling frowned. Baili Su told his mother about Ye Ying and Ye Chen?

Ming sighed and said, "Shu'er didn't want to say it. He was very thoughtful and afraid that I would interfere when I knew it. Today I came to you because I had something in my heart and wanted to tell you."

"Aunt, please speak." Ye Ling nodded.

"I am Su'er's mother, you are Ye Ying's sister. You and I know their affairs. Su'er gained benefits and saved his life. Ye Ying was greatly hurt and suffered a lot. Therefore, even if it was not Su'er's original intention, it was indeed that he was sorry for Ye Ying. Moreover, there was a child between them." Ming said earnestly, "I know that you are very capable and Ye Ying is not an ordinary woman. She can take care of herself and her children, and you can protect them and their mother and son well. I just hope that Ye Ying can give Su'er a chance."

Ye Ling remained silent. She was actually a little surprised that Ming said this. Ming is now the Empress Dowager of Xixia, but she is just an ordinary mother at this moment.

"I think you will not interfere with Ye Ying's affairs. Just like me, I never interfere with Su'er's affairs. Back then, I was pregnant with him and was still swaying him, but he still insisted on giving birth to him, but he suffered a lot. He has been soaked in a medicine jar since he was a child, and since he can remember, he counted the days and waited for death. He never knew how to interact with people, including me and his father, he looked cold and indifferent. I know that he just didn't want us to bear it when he left that day." Ming said, his eyes turned red and tears fell.

"It really makes you laugh. Those things have passed, and it was Ye Ying who gave Su'er the opportunity to live to this day. But in those years, the temperament that Su'er developed was difficult to change. You probably also know a little. He is a very pessimistic person. For him, living is a gift from God and he dare not ask for too much. But I know that he was moved by Ye Ying. Because what he told me was not to make up for it, he said that he fell in love with a woman." Ming's expression was a little sad, "You don't know that this is the first time I have heard the word "like" from Su'er's mouth in so many years."

"My son has never been with many people since he was a child, nor has he experienced much. He is very smart, but he is also very stupid. He has never shown any desire for life. Ye Ying is the only thing he wants to pursue in his life so far." Ming shook his head and said, "To be honest, of course I want to see my grandson as soon as possible, but I respect Ye Ying's choice. That child is her lifeblood, and we cannot rob it. I just hope that if possible, please persuade her and give her a chance, okay?"

Before Ye Ling could speak, the voice of the palace maid came from outside: "Empress Dowager, the Prime Minister is here."

Ming frowned slightly: "Just say I have a distinguished guest here, let him come back another day."

After Ming finished speaking, he heard the footsteps reaching the door. She patted Ye Ling's hand and signaled her to go to the inner room and wait for a while.

Ye Ling walked into the inner room, Ming's brother, Ming Zhongxin, the Prime Minister of the Western Xia Kingdom, had already entered the door.

"Brother, why are you here now?" Ming asked with a faint expression, asking Ming Zhongxin to sit down.

"I heard that you are not feeling well, come and have a look. There are some things I want to discuss with you." Ming Zhongxin had a gentle face and a smart look.

Ming nodded: "Brother, just say something bluntly."

"This time, I was finally in danger. Su'er came back in time and did not let Baili Jin succeed. Otherwise, our Ming family would be exterminated." Ming Zhongxin sighed and said, "I don't beat around the bush with my sister. In those years, Su'er had no woman to serve. It would be better not to mention the marriage last year. But now he is the emperor, and Xixia Kingdom cannot be without a queen!"

Ming lowered his eyes and tidied up his sleeves: "What do you mean by brother?"

Ming Zhongxin frowned and said, "I wonder if Su'er plans to continue to reuse Ouyang Cheng or find an opportunity to depose it? However, there are already people saying that the emperor promised that Ouyang Cheng would let his daughter Ouyang Yu be the queen after he ascended the throne. Is this true?"

Ming shook his head: "Fake it. The Ouyang family can use it, but Ouyang Cheng's daughter will not have anything to do with Su'er. Ouyang Cheng himself should not want his only remaining daughter to follow Su'er again."

Baili Jin said that he wanted to enthrone Ouyang Yu as the queen, which was Baili Jin's intention. Ouyang Cheng was not happy, and Ouyang Yu also disagreed, but the situation forced him to choose.

Ouyang Qing is dead, Ouyang Yu has no such thoughts about Baili Su, and the Ouyang family will not repeat the same mistakes.

Ming Zhongxin nodded: "I think it's fake. But the matter of establishing the queen is related to the inheritance of the Baili royal family's bloodline. It's a big deal. What did the sister plan? Should we make arrangements as soon as possible to choose a concubine for the emperor and fill the harem?"

Ming shook his head: "Don't worry about this."

Ming Zhongxin frowned: "How can you not be anxious? I think it will take a few days to hand over a letter from the court urging the selection of concubines."

"Shu'er is still young, why are you anxious? Will you not be able to have a child if you get married in ten or eight years?" Ming looked unhappy.

"Sister, what you said... Why do you have to wait ten or eight years? Su'er becomes the queen and takes a concubine as soon as possible, and you can also hold your grandson as soon as possible!" Ming Zhongxin said.

After a moment of silence, Ming said, "Because I want Su'er to eat vegetarian food and avoid desires, and to keep his father mourning for three years."

Ming Zhongxin frowned: "Three years of filial piety? This... sister, filial piety is the rule of ordinary people. Su'er is now the emperor. The spirit of the last emperor is in heaven. I hope that the emperor will spread the branches and leaves for the Baili royal family as soon as possible."

Ming rubbed his forehead and looked tired: "I have discussed this matter with Su'er. The late emperor was anxious to go there, and he was sad in his heart. He hoped that through this move, the late emperor's spirit in heaven could rest in peace as soon as possible. No one is allowed to mention the issue of the selected concubines within three years. If it is mentioned, it would be disrespectful to the late emperor!"

"Sister, think twice!" Ming Zhongxin's face was not good-looking.

Nowadays, high-ranking officials and nobles with appropriate daughters at home are waiting for the opportunity to choose a concubine, including the Ming family.

Baili Su has a cousin, Ming Xinyou, the second daughter of Ming Zhongxin, who is a famous talented woman in Xiliang City. Since Baili Su and Ouyang Qing's marriage failed last year, Ming's family has set their sights on the position of crown princess, and now they have set their sights on the position of queen again, and think that it is Ming Xinyou.

But unexpectedly, Ming family wanted to ask Baili Su to mourn the late emperor for three years?! Ming Xinyou is already seventeen this year, how could he wait for three years for so long?

Ming sighed: "Brother, this matter cannot be changed. Xinyou is not young anymore and cannot be delayed. If the eldest brother chooses his son-in-law, I will ask Su'er to issue an order to give them a marriage."

Ming Zhongxin was a little annoyed, but he didn't dare to have an attack on Ming, so he could only leave with a dark face.

Ye Ling walked out of the inner room and chuckled: "Auntie, let Baili Su stay mourning for three years, and there will definitely be opposition in the court."

Ming shook his head: "It's okay. Su'er just sat in that position and there are a lot of things to learn. Leave those problems to him. The only daughter-in-law I recognize is your sister Ye Ying. If Su'er is unable to marry her back, just stay alone. Anyway, I already have a grandson. I think if I go to Nanchu to see my grandson, Ye Ying will definitely let me see you."

Ye Ling felt that Ming was a very wise woman and a mother who truly understood her son. She did not know Ye Ying so far, and her actions were all because of respecting Baili Su's choice. If she forcibly interfered with Baili Su's affairs, the inevitable result would be to push Baili Su away.

"Ye Ling, I have told you everything in my heart, just to tell you that your sister is not as troubles as you imagined when marrying Su'er." Ming said to Ye Ling, "Shu'er said that as long as Ye Ying nodded, he can give Xixia Kingdom to Nanchu, it's fine. But I don't agree."

Ye Ling raised his eyebrows, Ming looked at her and said solemnly: "There is a saying, I will tell you with my old age. You are very smart and powerful, but you remember that Nan Chu is not surnamed Ye. No matter what you do, you will consider yourself more. If one day, your brother and brother will leave Nan Chu, Xixia will be your backer and backer."

Ye Ling left the Ming Palace and met Baili Su again.

"If my mother said something you don't like to listen to, you don't have to take it to heart." Baili Su said to Ye Ling.

Ye Ling said with a faint expression: "Baili scum, your mother is much smarter than you. Listen to her more in the future."

"I..." Baili Su nodded, and wanted to speak, "Are you going back soon?"

"It's only a few days. Is there anything wrong?" Ye Ling asked back.

"I can't go there for the time being, please tell you... Chen'er, I will go see him as soon as possible." Baili Su said to Ye Ling.

"My sister said, if you go again next time, let the baby recognize your father." Ye Ling said.

Baili Su looked happy and looked at Ye Ling in disbelief: "Really? She... She is really willing to let the child recognize me?"

"The child recognizes you, and the relationship with you and her is not the same!" Ye Ling said coldly, "It just so happens that I want to tell you some things too. Your Xixia royal family, especially you, is too 'poisonous'? You don't know what happened to you when you are poisoned. You don't know what the so-called miracle doctor Ouyang Qing said back then. You still don't know what poison you are. Baili Su, your mother is really a very good person, and I don't have much opinion about you. But if you can't find out the three things I just said, I will never agree to my sister being with you!"
