Time slowly passed. The officials sitting in the hall felt like they had been sitting on pins and needles. Then, the sound of the announcement at the door rang out. The Second Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fourth Prince arrived at the same time.
When they entered the hall, they felt that the atmosphere was too oppressive. They glanced at their seats and felt relieved when they did not see Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua. Although they did not want to admit it, they felt fear and dread toward Baili Junyi.
Not long after the Third Prince sat down, an announcement at the door sounded, "The Fifth Prince and princess Zhaohua have arrived."
The ministers immediately sat up and restrained their expressions.
With a smile on their faces, Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua walked in one after the other.
Being stripped of his official title, Baili Junyi wore ordinary prince's clothes with a jade crown on his head and a ring pen
Lin Feiran sat in her exclusive seat and accepted the blessings of the surrounding ladies. The pride on her face became more and more obvious. She tried her best to restrain the excitement in her heart. She imitated Shen Ninghua's calm and indifferent demeanor and tried to make herself look elegant and graceful. She chatted with the people around her and enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention.Baili Junyi chuckled softly and whispered while putting food on Shen Ninghua's plate. "Ninghua, look at Lin Feiran."Shen Ninghua glanced at her and did not see anything unusual. She asked in confusion, "What about her?""She's imitating you."Imitating me? Shen Ninghua was taken aback and then sized Lin Feiran up again. Lin Feiran looked so arrogant and pompous, and she couldn't tell that she was imitating her.Baili Junyi picked up some food for her. "The dishes for today's banquet are quite good. Have some
Baili Qingcang looked at the Third Prince and a few officials. The corners of his eyes twitched. "Do you all think that Fifth Prince is really behind this?"The officials who came out to make their statement were holding a wolf by the ears. They were the ones who make the fuss the most when Baili Junyi lost his power. If they chose to remain silent at this moment, Baili Junyi would probably go after them. Therefore, they bit the bullet and said, "Your Majesty, for your safety, you must investigate this matter thoroughly."Baili Junyi casually sat in his seat and sized up the kneeling officials with his cold glare. Some of them were Second Prince's associates, and some were the Third Prince's. But now, they had come together and joined forces in order to attack him. Baili Junyi was impressed by his own charisma. However, the ignorant were fearless! This group of people who did not know the whole truth dared to come forward to expose him. At the though
Baili Qingcang looked at Noble Consort Qi and pondered. Noble Consort Qi indeed had no reason to do this. She was responsible for the details of this banquet. It was a piece of cake for her to jeopardize the banquet if she wanted to, so there was no reason for her to use her palace maid to do such a thing. Moreover, he knew what kind of a person Noble Consort Qi was. Even though the Second Prince was her biological son, she had never participated in the fight between the princes."You're so audacious! How dare you accuse my noble consort in front of me?!"Qingyu, the palace maid, gritted her teeth, and her tone was particularly sharp. "No, Your Majesty, I didn't accuse her. It was Noble Consort Qi who ordered me to do this. It was her who gave the hairpin to me. She also promised that she would let me out of the palace to reunite with my lover as long as I helped her complete this matter.""You lover?" Baili Qingcang's eyes turned cold,
Lin Feiran, who understood the Emperor's meaning, could not help but be shocked. She had to clench her fists tightly in order not to lose her composure on the spot. She thought that she was the focus of the banquet today, but in the end, she became a joke. The Emperor wanted to strengthen the diplomatic relationship between the Da'an Kingdom and the Great Yue Kingdom through marriage, and certainly, Bu Yonghan alone was ten times better than her. Moreover, Noble Consort Li's loss of power had become inevitable. If Noble Consort Li fell, the Lin Family would probably not be able to last long. What could the impulsive and arrogant Third Prince, who was the last one standing, do?Thinking of this, Lin Feiran couldn't help but feel a tightness in her chest and a bitter taste in her mouth. She almost couldn't breathe and wanted to faint. If she had known this was the outcome today, she would have dissuaded Noble Consort Li to stop attacking Baili Junyi. Perhaps, this
The Third Prince and the Fourth Prince did not know that Baili Qingcang already knew everything. They wanted to take this opportunity to let Father Emperor believe that they were truly filial children, so they kept on kneeling outside Baili Qingcang's palace. Lin Yue had submitted the letter many times to plead for mercy, but he was reprimanded harshly by Baili Qingcang.It was summer now, and the sun was high in the sky at noon. The two princes held on for two days. On the third day, they collapsed due to the heat.The guards hurriedly went forward to check on them, and the eunuch reported the situation to Baili Qingcang. Baili Qingcang's expression was extremely calm. Hearing that they had fainted, he directly ordered, "Carry them back to their palace and tell them that I've dismissed their mother. If they were truly filial, they should stay in the palace and repent their sins. They should also copy the Book of Filial Piety, so as not to waste thei
Madam Lin's vision gradually went blurry. She felt that it was harder and harder for her to breathe. She wanted to shout for help, but she was unable to make a single sound. In the end, even the sound in her ears became blurry. She heard Noble Consort Qi's increasingly cold mocking voice, "Madam Lin... this is the best ending you deserve..."Noble Consort Qi curled her lips into a cold smirk as she watched Madam Lin's struggle becoming weaker and weaker. Finally, there was no sound, and she slowly heaved a sigh of relief. "Take care of the matters here. I'll go back first."The nurses were all her confidants. Hearing this, they hurriedly replied, "Yes, Your Grace. Please go back, lest this dirty place irritates you. We will take care of everything."After returning to Chunlan Palace, Noble Consort Qi sat alone for a while. The smile on her face gradually disappeared. Madam Lin died, and the palace harem became more and more empty. She wo
Lin Yue didn't want to attend Madam Lin's funeral, so he came up with an excuse that he was ill. The once dignified Noble Consort Li was denounced as a concubine. More importantly, she didn't even have a gravesite in the imperial mausoleum and could only be buried in the consort mausoleum. The Lin Family was truly disgraced by this.Shen Ninghua originally wanted to ask for sick leave from the funeral, but Noble Consort Qi personally sent someone to deliver a message inviting Shen Ninghua to Chunlan Palace. Baili Junyi was very worried. "Ninghua, if you don't want to go, you needn't worry that Noble Consort Qi will put you in a difficult position."Shen Ninghua shook her head. "Noble Consort Qi's personality is the most unique and special. There is no one like her in the palace. She wouldn't have sent someone to deliver the message if she had not had something important to say. I think I'd better go and meet her."Hong Ling who was stand
Shen Ninghua quickly followed the crowd and entered the side palace. At this moment, Baili Junyi was standing at the door. Seeing her come over, he quickly stood beside her to protect her.In the main hall, the Third Prince, Baili Jinyu, frantically pulled up his clothes and crawled out of the bed. A woman was covering a blanket over her face. She curled into a ball, exposing her bare shoulders. People couldn't see her face clearly, but they could tell that she must be a palace maid or something.Glancing at the situation in the palace, Shen Ninghua roughly understood what had happened. She lowered her eyes to avoid the scene while gently caressing her bulging belly.Baili Qingcang was so angry that his face turned maroon red. He quickly walked to the side of the bed, raised his arm, and slapped the Third Prince hard in the face. "Monster! You wicked monster!" Fortunately, he did not have a sword by his side, or he would have chopped 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
