"Minister Jiang, this matter cannot be rushed. Everything depends on the princess's wishes. We will make a decision after the Moon Appreciation Festival.”Ling Xiaoyi frowned. You Ran, that girl, is not willing to marry. Jiang Shiren, this old fox, is forcing me so tightly. It's obvious that he's my enemy!
"Your Majesty! The Ziyue Kingdom and the Guanyang Kingdom have always minded their own business. The Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince have come to propose marriage. This matter concerns the friendship between the two countries. How can we let a woman make the decision?”Jiang Shiren pressed on.
"Emperor, this minister has something to say!" As soon as Jiang Shiren finished speaking, another senior official stood up and said respectfully.
"Speak!" Ling Xiaoyi waved his hand and said.
"Emperor, this humble official thinks that the princess is still young and will only be married in a year and a half. This time, we can agree to the sixth prince's marriage first. When the princess is slightly older, the sixth prince can come and marry her. This way, it would not hurt the friendship between the two countries, but it would also give the princess some time to prepare to marry into another country.”
Ling Xiaoyi nodded in satisfaction." En, Grand Tutor Wen is right. We will follow Grand Tutor Wen's words and withdraw from court!"”After Ling Xiaoyi finished speaking, he stood up, flicked his sleeves, and walked out.
Jiang Shiren was already restless. Wan Guocai had the military power and was secretly colluding with Jiang Shiren. It was unknown when they would act. This time, he wanted to uproot them and get rid of them forever!
With that in mind, Ling Xiaoyi strode towards Chaoyang Palace…
Chao Feng Palace.
"Small One, bring bengong's bag and chest over.”I ordered.
"Niangniang, what are you talking about?”Small One looked at me in confusion.
"Forget it, bengong will go on her own and find a bag for bengong.”I sighed.
I walked into the inner room and took out the box and bag from under the bed. Then, I opened them one by one and found the commonly used items.
Computer? It's inconvenient to carry it around, don't! Clothes and shoes? Who would wear casual clothes in ancient times? No! Skin care products? Of course! Bring it along! Coffee? Bring it along!
After careful selection, he finally decided on the must-have items. I won't enter the palace again, and I don't want the rest of the things!
"Niangniang, what do you want the bundle for?”Little One asked.
"I want to leave the palace and never come back again.”I replied with a smile.
"What? Empress? You want to leave the palace? Where are you going? You can't abandon us! If the Emperor knew, he would lose his head!”Little One asked nervously.
"Sigh! Staying in the palace is not a long-term solution. If you still have me in your hearts, don't tell the emperor about this.”I said calmly. I didn't want to tell them that I was leaving the palace, but I believe they are all good people.
"Empress! This servant begs you not to leave!" Small One suddenly knelt down and begged me. It made my heart ache.
"I will leave a letter for the emperor not to implicate you. When you leave the palace one day, we will meet again if fate allows it.”I reached out and helped Small One up.
" Your Highness, please don't leave the palace…" Small One still tried to persuade her.
But I have my own things to do. I came here to find my mother…
"Small One, you don't understand me at all. Many things can't be expressed clearly with words. Small One, I believe that you're a reasonable girl.”I turned around and ordered.
"Since the niangniang insists on leaving the palace, this servant does not dare to stop her. I hope that niangniang will take good care of yourself!”Small One said to me as he wiped away his tears.
"Yes, you have to take good care of them too.”I wiped away her tears and comforted her.
"I definitely will, Empress!" Little One said confidently.
After consoling Small One, I stared at the bundle on the bed in a daze. I was finally leaving. I really didn't feel good. I could finally leave that bastard Ling Xiaoyi, but I couldn't bear to part with Small One and the others. Sigh!
"How are the preparations?" I heard a familiar voice. I looked up and it was Luo Zilie.
"Yes, everything is ready." I stood up and replied.
"We will act tonight. You must be prepared. You must remember not to let the emperor find any clues!”Luo Zilie said seriously.
" Alright, I'll wait for you tonight." I replied. I was extremely nervous, even more nervous than when I fought with those thugs…
The moonlight at night was very charming. I propped my chin on my hand and sat in the rocking chair by the window. Looking at the bright moonlight, I couldn't help but feel sad again.
"Empress, Eunuch Chen requests an audience." Seven said from outside.
"Got it." I came back to my senses and walked out.
"Niangniang, the emperor wants you to attend a banquet at Ci An Palace.”Eunuch Chen said respectfully.
"What banquet?" I was puzzled. What kind of banquet was there?
"Replying to Niangniang, the Emperor invited the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince.”Eunuch Chen replied.
"Must I go?" I asked.
"Empress, you are the mother of a country, how can you not go? Moreover, the Emperor has already personally issued an edict. Your Majesty, you must go.”Eunuch Chen asked in surprise.
"Alright, Eunuch Chen, let's go." I sighed helplessly.
"Yes, Empress." Eunuch Chen said.
Ci 'an Palace.
"ChenQie pays her respects to the Emperor!" I bowed, but I didn't look at him.
"Rise." " Empress," Ling Xiaoyi said calmly," the Guanyang Kingdom is inviting the Ziyue Kingdom's Crown Prince and Sixth Prince to dinner tonight. Do you know what you should do?"”
"I know." I still didn't look at him and replied coldly. You just want me to look like the mother of a country. Don't embarrass your Guanyang Country! I'm not interested either! Just don't say anything.
"I hope you understand!" After Ling Xiaoyi finished speaking, he no longer looked at her and sat on the main seat.
I glanced at him, walked to the second seat, and sat down on his right.
Soon, Luo Zilie, the Sixth Prince, and You Ran arrived. The Empress Dowager also arrived.
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Empress Dowager, long live the Empress Dowager, long live the Empress Dowager!”Everyone bowed.
"Stand up and take a seat!" Ling Xiaoyi waved his hand and said.
"Sixth Prince has just arrived at my Guanyang Kingdom. Tonight, you will have dinner with me. There's no need to be so polite." Ling Xiaoyi continued.
"Yes, sir!" Luo Zilie opened his fan and said slowly.
"Transfer the food!" Ling Xiaoyi instructed. Thus, Eunuch Chen immediately ordered the dishes to be served.
Then, a group of eunuchs came up with food boxes and placed the plates on each table before leaving respectfully.
"Crown Prince, Sixth Prince, these are all made by the famous chefs in my imperial kitchen. Try them.”Ling Xiaoyi said as he looked at the dishes on the plate.
"Your Majesty, what are you saying? The chefs in the imperial kitchen of the palace naturally cook better than ordinary chefs. These delicacies were really delicious!”Luo Zilie smiled.
"Hehe, then let's eat!" Ling Xiaoyi smiled.
"Empress, you haven't come to this widow's chambers for a long time, this widow really misses it! When you have time, you must come to Fushou Palace to see this widow!”Just as I was about to start eating, the Empress Dowager spoke.
"Empress Dowager, there have been too many matters in the harem these days. ChenQie did not pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.”I immediately stood up and bowed to the Empress Dowager.
