The news that the Emperor punished the Fifth Prince on a rainy night made the atmosphere in the court even more complicated. The Crown Prince was grounded. The Fourth Prince and the Third Prince kept a low profile and didn't dare to say anything. The Fifth Prince was moved to Xianyang Palace, which was almost equivalent to being thrown into the cold palace. The Sixth Prince and the other princes after him were too young to achieve anything. In this way, the only one who could be said to have real influence was the Second Prince.
After realizing this point, many officials secretly threw an olive branch at the Second Prince. However, contrary to everyone's expectations, the Second Prince ignored all the officials' goodwills and only stayed quietly in his own mansion all day long.
Just as everyone was confused, the trial of the Jiangnan salt administration corruption case was hastily concluded. Twenty-one officials, big and small, including the Governor
The surrounding people cried out in alarm. They couldn't bear to look at Chu Junyi and waited for his arm to freeze. However, after waiting for a moment, nothing happened.Chu Junyi's expression turned cold. "Your Highness, although the profound ice jade is rare, it is not unheard of in Da'an. Despite being frighteningly cold, every time it comes into contact with something made of wood, it will temporarily release the coldness and it will be fine for me to touch it now. Otherwise, those two maids wouldn't be able to stand here intact."Hearing this, everyone suddenly came to a realization. It was true that those two white-clothed maids also touched the jade box with their bare hands and remained unhurt. The people who had just exclaimed quietly blushed and secretly blamed themselves for appearing so ignorant.A brilliant smile appeared on Shen Ninghua's lips. She stood up and walked to the main hall and bowed to Baili Qingcang who was s
Bu Tinghe stood quietly by the side with a smile on her face. She was like a graceful white lotus, silent but dazzling.Seeing that everyone present was silent, Bu Jinglan chuckled and turned to look at Bu Tinghe. "Tinghe, perform a dance. If no one else comes up on stage, you can dedicate this dance to His Majesty.""Yes." Bu Tinghe raised her eyes and glanced around the hall. Then she lowered her eyes and smiled. "Then please allow me a little time to get prepared." After saying that, she slowly retreated.By the time Bu Tinghe appeared again, she had already changed into a new set of clothes. Although the dress was still white, the waist part was exceptionally tight, making her waist look even more slender. The hem of her dress was exceptionally wide with many layers that spread like lotus petals.She walked slowly to the center of the hall with a long piece of silk ribbon on her arm and crystal balls tied to both ends of
After Shen Ninghua returned from the Palace, she did not pay much attention to Bu Tinghe and only thought that this princess seemed to be a little biased against her. Even if Bu Tinghe didn't like her, at most she would embarrass her with words rather than resort to some evil schemes. After all, the two of them were both princesses.But she did not expect that on the second day, she would see this peerlessly beautiful princess again, and this meeting overturned her thoughts.The next day, when she woke up, Chu Junyi had already gotten up and gone to court. She called out to Bai Ruo, but it was Hong Ling who came in with a basin of water."Bai Ruo usually serves me when I get up and get washed. How come you are here today?""Miss, Princess Wenhe is here. She came early in the morning before you woke up. Sister Bai Ruo wanted to wake you up, but Princess Wenhe refused to let her do so. So we could only invite her to the flower
Hong Ling anxiously wiped her tears. "Sister Bai Ruo, what should we do?"Qing Que usually spoke the least. Generally, she would try her best to hide in the dark in order to protect Shen Ninghua. She did not communicate much with Shen Ninghua on normal days. However, in terms of loyalty towards Shen Ninghua, this quiet girl was second to none.Bai Ruo also knew this. She stepped forward to help Shen Ninghua by the arm. "Miss, you give the order and I will do it."Shen Ninghua shook her head. "No need. You and Hong Ling go prepare some hot water. I will use it later."As if she had heard the commotion around her, Qing Que opened her eyes with difficulty. When she saw Shen Ninghua by her side, her eyes immediately lit up. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she could not make a sound.Shen Ninghua held her hand and the smile on her face was unusually warm. "Qing Que, save your strength. It may hurt
After Qing Que was rescued by Granny Poison, she lost her previous memories. She had done special research for a period of time and wanted to help Qing Que restore her memories, but she never succeeded. Seeing that Qing Que did not care, she did not insist. Unexpectedly, the poisons this time actually restored her memories.The other three maids also looked at Qing Que anxiously.Qing Que's face turned even paler. "Miss, I was chased and fled to a cliff. I really had no way out, so I simply jumped down."Shen Ninghua's eyebrows moved slightly. "The Empress' people wanted to kill you?""Yes.""Why?""Because...because I was a traitor."Shen Ninghua's eyes trembled. "Traitor? You worked for the Empress before you lost your memories?"Qing Que's lips were dry. She pursed her lips slightly but still found it difficult to speak."Yes, the Empress controls a formidab
"Sixth Brother, you also know why I'm here. I'm afraid that my attack on Qing Que might have led to suspicion, so I have to trouble you to help me.""Father Emperor loves you very much and I also treat you as my own sister. If I don't help you, who else should I help? Let's also hold a banquet tomorrow. It is summer and the weather is hot. It is time to have some entertainment."When Bu Tinghe heard this, she suddenly smiled. Her gorgeous smile made her beautiful face even more moving. "Thank you, Sixth Brother."Bu Jinglan slowly waved the folding fan in his hand, and the smile on his lips became even stronger.After Shen Ninghua received the invitation, she glanced at it and casually put it aside.Hong Ling said, "Miss, this Sixth Prince and Princess Wenhe invited you to the banquet with ill intentions. You must not go there."Shen Ninghua smiled and casually played with an exquisite small rattle-
Seeing Bu Tinghe frowning with sadness, the Third Prince immediately realized that he had said something wrong. "I was rude. I was thinking about Princess Wenhe and was a little absent-minded, so I said something inappropriate. How can these mortal women compare to her?"With these words, he had praised Bu Tinghe but belittled the ladies present.Many people looked at the Third Prince with a subtle expression. It didn't matter if you wanted to flatter someone, but there was no need to belittle others, right?Only then did Shen Ninghua believe Baili Anning's words that this Third Prince was really fascinated by Bu Tinghe. However, his mother Imperial Concubine Li had great expectations for him. How could she tolerate him pursuing a princess from another country?Baili Anning looked away and did not look at the Third Prince. As a member of the royal family, even if he said something wrong, there was no need to apologize in pub
Bu Tinghe chuckled softly with a complacent smile on her face. "Princess Zhaohua is really smart. Haha, you don't have to be too surprised. Anyway, you know my cousin's real identity now. Then you should understand what to do, right?"Shen Ninghua smiled coldly. "I don't understand what you are talking about. Even if Chu Junyi's identity is not ordinary, so what? We will still live our own life.""Live your own life?" Bu Tinghe tilted her head slightly and circled around Shen Ninghua. Seeing that her back was straight and she was not disturbed at all, Bu Tinghe burst out laughing. "Princess Zhaohua, didn't you hear what Nanny Lan said? My cousin's birth mother is Great Yue's Princess Yunqing. His birth father is the Emperor of Da'an. He is a noble prince with the potential to become an Emperor. As for you, you are the daughter of the Shen family who caused the death of his birth mother. Why do you think he will continue to live with you?"
Bu Yonghan looked up, without the slightest bit of pride of being a princess in her eyes, there was only the fear and hatred that haunted her.Shen Ninghua looked at her with a cool expression, "It really didn't occur to me that our meeting again would be like this."Bu Yonghan sneered, "Now that I've fallen into your hands, I'll do as I please if I want to kill you.""Is that so? Listen to your tone as if you are not afraid of death, but your eyes tell this palace that you are afraid.""Oh, I would be afraid of you?"Shen Ninghua lowered her eyes, a cold smile flashed in her eyes, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, after all, you're also Prince De's rightful consort, I'll have someone send you back, and Tai Consort Qi and Prince De will naturally settle you down properly."Thinking of the desperate scene of being locked inside the empty room before, Bu Yonghan's body shuddered violently, "I'm not going back, I'm not going back!""It'
The Daan Kingdom's army garrison was quiet, and Slaughter Shadow, wrapped in black clothing, felt his way toward the garrison's source of drinking water.This time, the place where the army of Daan Kingdom is stationed is not far away is a river, the whole army usually water, are taken from the river, the soldiers guarding the river patrol day and night to protect the river safety, for fear that someone in the water to do something.At this time, the soldiers guarding the river did not realize in the slightest that someone had already taken advantage of the night and the cover of the grass to touch the river. Because he was worried that killing these guards would arouse the suspicion of the Great An Kingdom, Tu Ying could only creep into the grass and quietly open the box he was holding in his arms.The jade bottle emitted an ethereal blue light, and a hint of relief flashed through Tu Ying's eyes that had always been devoid of fluctuations. As long as he helped th
How could Bu Linglong not expect that she would see Shen Ninghua again at this time. At this time, she was in a sorry state, bound by ropes around her wrists, weakly kneeling on the ground, her eyes gripped with blackness. Knowing that at this time, she was completely without any advantage or credentials, she still tried hard to open her eyes wide and looked at Shen Ninghua who was sitting above her.Shen Ninghua came to the border city with Baili Junyi only yesterday, after a night's rest, her spirit recovered, because of her relaxed mood, the whole person seemed to be carrying a soft light in general, sitting up beautifully as if she didn't look like a real person, "Princess Linglong, I didn't expect that we'd meet again in such a way."Bu Linglong tilted her head and looked at her with an arrogant face, "Empress Mother, I also didn't expect that you would follow the Emperor to the border city."Shen Ninghua smiled faintly, "Is the princess's body alright?"
This personal expedition of Baili Junyi drew extra attention from the people of the entire Da An Country. In the nearly one year since he ascended to the throne, the Great An Country had experienced a lot of turmoil, but in the end, it had all come through unscathed. Nowadays, the emperor emphasizes pragmatic subjects, strictly combats corruption and bribery, and the official atmosphere of the entire Da An country is exceptionally clear.When the officials are clean, the lives of the people underneath will naturally be better. They treated Baili Junyi as a bright ruler, and now, this bright ruler is going to go on a military expedition, and with the Empress in tow, which is really heartbreaking.Many of the people who originally had little feeling for the Great Yue Country began to loathe them, believing that if it wasn't for them messing with the border, the Emperor and Empress Dowager wouldn't have had to put themselves in harm's way.Just as they were discussing
Baili Jun Yi dynasty announced that the future no longer consorts, the only queen of the harem one person, although the officials on the spot have different thoughts, but after repeated thought, they all tacitly choose to shut up and do not say anything.The emperor and the empress is happy, they do the subjects, or not what hope. Otherwise, think of those who jumped before the great officials down, and go to great lengths to let the emperor will be held in the election, and then, the election is not over, their official position is not, after that, implicated in the Palace of the daughter, even if it is the show girl is not also gray back to the Palace of the?They also sort of saw that the Emperor had no intention of bringing new people into the harem from the beginning.Originally, those courtiers dared to openly call the Emperor's bluff by virtue of their influence in the court, but now they have all been driven out of the court, and their fate is pathetic. The
Prince Yi stared wide-eyed, his eyes flashing with full shock, “How could the Tu Su family be related to the Great Yue State?" These ambassadors of theirs were locked up in the post house and were extremely misinformed on weekdays, and to this day, they still hadn't figured out the reason for the Tu Su family's overnight defeat.Baili Jun Yi hooked the corner of his lips, the two countries are once again at war at the border, and these messengers are no longer necessary to maintain the surface peace, he is even more lazy and he circled:"This matter I ordered to seal the mouth, Prince Yi naturally not clear, well, there is no more other things, you will step Linglong lead back, go back after a good sharpening of temperament, the next time a similar thing happens, I will not look at the face of the Great Vietnam lightly forgiven."Icy cold words were heard in his ears, shocking Prince Yi couldn't help but tremble in his heart, "Your Majesty, this king has taught his
Bu Linglong swept a glance at Xiao Bao, only to feel that this child was just as annoying as her mother, this was just a small age, and she was this vicious.At this point, she had completely forgotten that the reason why she had received this beating was entirely of her own making, and, for someone of her age to be reckoning with a three year old, she didn't know who the truly vicious one really was!Shen Ninghua's five senses were extremely sharp, sensing Bu Linglong's hidden anger and hatred, a cold light flashed in the bottom of her eyes, originally she didn't want to be concerned, but now she wanted to make things clear, otherwise, wouldn't it be better to let Xiao Bao have to bear a bad name at a young age?"Princess Linglong, is what Luo Yao said true?"Bu Linglong hurriedly defended, "Empress Mother, how could I have such thoughts, the reason why I stayed in the palace in the first place was because you invited me, and later on, it was even more so be
Within the palace, the palace examination began. Many officials pondered to wait until the end of the palace examination, must be written to submit a good chapter to the emperor, so that the emperor will be released from the palace daughters.For such a long time, they also sort of see that the Emperor said that he was starting a draft, but he did not mean to leave anyone in the harem.Today, half of the showgirls have been sent out of the palace. Most of them were implicated because of the fall of the previous officials, and not many of them are still in the palace today, and, moreover, all of them are the kind of family mediocre, even if they are in the palace, there is no hope of being favored.Moreover, some days ago, the eldest prince turned three years old, the emperor appointed the university scholar to enlighten him, looking at this situation is from a young age is going to treat the eldest prince as the depositary training. The eldest prince Baili Yong Che
Shen Ninghua frowned slightly, also somewhat unable to find a clue, “The Tu Su family has existed for more than a hundred years, started in the former dynasty, and the words of the former dynasty ... does it mean that the Tu Su family had a relationship with the Great Yue State in the former dynasty? Even to the serious speculation, Tu Su family is the nail that the Great Yue State has planted on our side."Baili Junyi gazed in contemplation, "What you said is extremely possible, a family that has developed a bit too legendary, moreover, if the Tusu family has no other purpose, why would they be so eager to control the courtiers and make a name for themselves?"Shen Ninghua nodded, "If what we've guessed is true, then the mind of the Tu Su family is simply too terrifying."If not for Baili Junyi's deep affection for her, then the Tu Su family's plan to have Tu Su Qingli approach him could have succeeded. That kind of cold beauty of a woman, to him to give up their
