The officials were very surprised. Was this year's new year's prayer ceremony hosted by Prefectural Prince Yi? Shouldn't the Crown Prince be the one to host such an important occasion?
Looking at Baili Junyi standing on the high platform, the Crown Prince squinted, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes. There was not a trace of light in his dark eyes.
"Kneel!" Without waiting for them to think about it, Baili Junyi instructed.
"Hah!" The guards standing on both sides of the road suddenly raised their spears and slammed them on the ground, letting out a loud roar.
The officials, who were not prepared for what was going on, were so scared that their bodies trembled. They looked up at Baili Qingcang, who was dressed in a dragon robe and walking up the platform step by step. The decorations around the steps were exceptionally exquisite. The carefully painted auspicious clouds decorated the steps and platform with nobility. Ju
Baili Qingcang had been very happy these two days. After the New Year banquet and before the New Year Festival ended, he had issued multiple imperial decrees to promote his consorts and offsprings in the harem. Consort Li, who had given birth to the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince, had been conferred the title of Noble Consort. Consort Qi, Baili Jinchuan's and Baili Anning's birth mother, had also been conferred the title of Noble Consort. The vacancies of the positions of consorts were filled up with the imperial concubines who had been promoted. Those who had not been promoted had also received additional rewards. For a time, the harem was in harmony and joy.When the news reached Baili Junyi's residence, Shen Ninghua put down the teacup in her hand and smiled slightly. "Yes, everyone is happy now, but they won't be happy for long."Hong Ling asked, "Miss, are you saying that something will erupt in the harem soon?"Shen Ninghua loo
Baili Qingcang's eyes were full of smiles. He watched the officials guessing the riddles with interest while glancing at the door from time to time to see if the guards who were looking for the auspicious white crane had returned.Standing alone under a flower lantern, Baili Jinchuan looked so sullen and serious that no one dared to approach him. Yang Yingxue stood among the women and looked at Shen Ninghua several times. She wanted to go forward but was worried about being cold-shouldered by Shen Ninghua. She had seen Shen Ninghua's tricks and had also suffered a loss at her hands. Because of this, she learned to be humble in front of her. It was all thanks to Shen Ninghua that she got to enter the Second Prince Mansion and became dignified as she was now.Speaking of which, Shen Ninghua was quite cold-blooded. It could be seen from her methods to deal with the Shen Family. However, if you asked for her help sincerely, she was willing to lend you a
The dog meat sent from Second Prince Mansion almost pushed all the officials into insanity. It was a problem whether they ate it or not. Everyone knew that Second Prince Baili Jinchuan loved dogs. If he knew that they ate the meat, he would probably bear a grudge against them. If they didn't eat, they would be defying the imperial decree. After all, the Emperor had personally given the decree to divide the meat among the officials.The atmosphere in the capital gradually became subtle. Many officials did not understand what the Emperor wanted to do. At first, the Emperor suppressed the Fifth Prince and favored the Second Prince. Now, the Second Prince was demoted, the Fifth Prince was promoted to Royal Prince, and the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince were caught in the middle. The current situation was chaotic and a mess.Shen Ninghua supported her forehead with one hand and leaned against the couch, watching Big Boy and Baby Girl playing in the ro
Noble Consort Li stroked the peony hairpin behind her ear, and a faint smile appeared on her delicate face. The smile was gentle and elegant, yet it sent a chill down the spine of Nurse Wei, who trembled involuntarily.Noble Consort Li looked over lightly. "Nurse Wei, don't worry. If the plan succeeds this time, I will let you out so that you can reunite with your children and live a happy life."Nurse Wei's knees went soft, and she quickly knelt down to show her loyalty. "Being able to serve Your Grace is a blessing that I deserve to have only after cultivating for several lifetimes. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. They are adults now, and I'm too old to mind their business. I only hope that I can serve Your Grace for a long time."After hearing this, Noble Consort Li grinned from ear to ear. "Good. Don't worry, I will treat you fairly. Later, I will have someone send some silver to your children. You can rest assur
Hearing this, Lin Feiran bit her lips with some hesitation. Her slightly pale face made her look even more pitiful. "I thank Your Majesty for your care. It's just that I had some misunderstandings with Princess Zhaohua before. I was worried that I would irritate her if I went to see her personally, so I didn't dare to visit her."Noble Consort Li quickly interjected, "It's because you think too much. In the past, everyone spoiled your rotten, and you behaved so badly that you had offended Princess Zhaohua a lot. Now, you have changed your temper, but you change too much, and you overthink things too much."Lin Feiran lowered her head slightly. Her smooth forehead was fair and bright. Tears slowly gathered in her eyes, but she forcibly suppressed them. "Aunt, I almost lost my composure. Please forgive me."What was more pitiful than a beauty shedding tears? Naturally, it was this image. The beauty wanted to talk but hesitated, and tears f
Listening to the exclamations around him, the Fourth Prince looked around proudly, but he was befuddled when he met Shen Ninghua's dark eyes, which were cold and sharp with a hint of blade-alike light. Stunned at first, he wanted to observe her carefully but found that she had already lowered her eyes.Suppressing the anger inside him, Baili Qingcang looked at the Fourth Prince coldly and quipped, "Wow, your first gift is so precious. Your second gift must be extraordinary. Lift the cloth and show it to us."At this moment, the Fourth Prince felt that something was out of his control, but he was at a point of no return, so he had no choice but to lift the red cloth covering the second gift sheepishly. Everyone instantly gasped in utter shock. "Heavens! It's... It's..."Under the red cloth was a mirror that no one had seen before. The mirror was as tall as a person, and the mirror was as bright and clear as water. The reflection of the pe
Previously, Baili Qingcang was angry that the princes were misbehaving and competing for power and profit while disregarding the royal family's dignity. He had intended to use this matter to knock some senses into their heads. However, after asking them the reasons, he was full of disappointment.The Crown Prince gave the Noble Consort the gift that had been intended for the Empress. The Third Prince used his deceased wife's dowry shamelessly. The Fourth Prince even deceived the western merchants by trading the useless items for the precious mirror and screen. No matter whether what they said was true or false, they had embarrassed the royal family. Was this something the princes should do?!Noble Consort Li was covered in a cold sweat. She was so shocked that her hands and feet went soft. She leaned back in the chair in order not to slide down. "Your Majesty, this matter..."Baili Qingcang frowned and glanced at her. There was intense c
For the next few days, a carriage was sent to pick Shen Ninghua up at Royal Prince Yi Mansion on time every day. After Shen Ninghua and Qing Que entered the palace, they went directly to Changqiu Palace's side hall that Noble Consort Li had prepared for the lessons. Lin Feiran waited inside early and learned from Shen Ninghua every day. She was very focused on learning.Every day, Noble Concubine Li would send some pastries over during their break time. Only after examining the pastries and confirming that there was no problem would Shen Ninghua eat some. Four hours later, Noble Consort Li would have people send her and Lin Feiran back to their respective residences.On this day, just as Shen Ninghua and Qing Que arrived at the palace gate, it was raining. Qing Que held an umbrella and helped Shen Ninghua get out of the carriage. "Master, it seems that the rain will be heavy. Should we send people to tell Noble Consort Li that we are not going to the
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
