Everyone turned to look immediately.

At the entrance, Chu Ruishi, the Emperor Emeritus, slowly walked in. His hair was completely white, and his skin was wrinkled. However, his eyes were sharp, and his aura was still as majestic as before.

Everyone bowed immediately.

“Greetings, Emperor Emeritus.”

Yu Yunxi did not turn around when she heard the commotion. She remained kneeling. However, the corners of her lips curled up slightly into a small smile.

‘I made the right bet… It was not that Grandfather didn’t come; he just didn’t show up for the time being…’

Yu Yunxi had deliberately made a scene to force her grandfather out.

Chu Zai hurriedly stood up from his dragon throne. An imperceptible hint of panic flashed in his eyes when he saw his father. He said, “Father, why didn’t you tell me you were leaving the mountain? I would’ve gone to personally welcome you back.”

Although Chu Zai had sat on the throne for more than twenty years, he was still apprehensive and fearful of his father. This made him feel extremely vexed.

The Empress Dowager and Empress Qin stood up reluctantly.

Chu Ruishi looked at Yu Yunxi’s back coldly for a long time before he shifted his eyes to Chu Zai and asked in a deceptively light tone, “If I didn’t come back, wouldn’t Changning’s daughter be beaten to death by you?”

Chu Zai hurriedly explained, “Father, you misunderstood me. I didn’t mean to hurt Yunxi. I only wanted to teach her the rules…”

“Teach her the rules? As the Emperor, you didn’t teach your own princes and princesses well, but you want to teach Changning’s daughter? Do you think that because I’m no longer in the palace and Changning is no longer around, you can bully Yunxi at will?” Chu Ruishi said in an increasingly cold voice.

Everyone’s expressions changed drastically.

‘The Emperor Emeritus came to support the Eldest Princess!’

The expressions of the Crown Prince and the others were very ugly as well.

‘Grandfather is indeed biased… He doesn’t care about us, but he pays so much attention to this granddaughter who has just returned…’

“Father, you really misunderstood…” Chu Zai said, still wanting to explain himself.

Chu Ruishi interjected, “Enough. You don’t have to explain anymore. In the future, I’ll teach Changning’s daughter.”

inappropriate for Cousin to enter the academy…”

Chu Ruishi looked at Chu Zhiya sharply.

‘She’s indeed an ambitious girl..

After a long silence, Chu Ruishi said, “From three months onward, regardless of gender, those who have the ability can participate in the assessment of the

Capital Academy.”

Everyone exchanged a look.

‘What’s the Emperor Emeritus trying to do?’

Chu Zai and the others gradually calmed down. Regardless of what Chu Ruishi’s motive was, at the very least, it was obvious that Chu Ruishi was still testing Yu Yunxi. If Yu Yunxi was incompetent, then she would be deposed.

“Alright, you won’t feel comfortable if I’m here. I’m tired. You can continue the banquet,” Chu Ruishi said impatiently before he turned to leave. He naturally had his own place in the imperial palace.

Just as Chu Ruishi reached the entrance, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and said coldly, “The King of Youshan has entered the capital, and someone will bring him into the palace after this. Emperor, you have to entertain him well. After all… he’s the grandson of the former King of Youshan.”

‘This old geezer… As soon as he comes back, he stirs up trouble for me!’

The former King of Youshan, who was not a member of the imperial family and was bestowed the title, once raised private troops and tried to rebel. In the end, he was banished to his fiefdom.

Seeing how enraged Chu Zai was, Empress Qin hurriedly supported him and helped him calm down. “Your Majesty…”

Yu Yunxi did not care about the King of Youshan. After dealing with these people, she returned to her original seat and sat down.

Meng Xia said excitedly, “Eldest Princess, this is great! The Emperor Emeritus came to help you!”

However, Yu Yunxi did not smile at all. On the contrary, she said coldly, “No, he might not be helping me…’

She could tell that her grandfather was very stubborn. Although her grandfather loved her mother very much, he still could not get over the hurdle in his heart. As such, he still wanted to temper her. She had to be admitted into the Capital Academy in three months. Otherwise, she would become an ‘abandoned child’.

In this silent battle, the Emperor and the others did not win, but Yu Yunxi did not win as well.

The only good thing was those ministers thought that Yu Yunxi was highly valued by Chu Ruishi so they no longer dared to look down on her.

Yu Yunxi could feel many gazes on her after she sat down. Annoyed, she quickly put on her veil.

At this moment, a eunuch rushed in and reported, “Your Majesty, Prince Hao and Princess Consort Hao are here. The King of Youshan is with them.”

Chu Zai suppressed his anger and said through gritted teeth, “Lead them in..”
