After traveling through the book and becoming the fake daughter's biological sister

Everyone, although the Empress Dowager’s birthday celebration this year was a bit strange, it was lively after all.

Today, the weather is nice and the autumn air is clear and cool.

The eyes of the whole capital and even the whole world were focused on the Imperial Palace and the Linde Hall.

The Linde Hall was huge, consisting of three halls connected on the second floor, and could accommodate many people. But with so many people coming down, only a few could come.

Gan Peilan still came with her godmother, Princess Shen, for the reason of filial piety, which many people could not refuse. Princess Shen had suffered for half her life, and now she had no children, only an adopted daughter who was filial to her. Who dared to say anything?

Princess An of Qi looked down on the Princess of Shen State and had no idea who she was looking for. She might have gone to be filial to the Empress Dowager.

Song Gongming came alone, not with other members of the Song family. He did not go to the Linde Hall, but to the Zichen Hall to meet the emperor.

There are quite a few people in the Zichen Hall, and Prince Wei is also here, conspicuous.

King Wei was particularly cold today, like a huge iceberg, and his aura was particularly strong, so anyone who wanted to say something to him had to avoid him.

Song Gongming didn't care whether Prince Wei had met the Queen Mother after returning to Beijing. Prince Wei was the King of Da Qi and was busy every day. The Queen Mother was not considerate at all and was extremely selfish! Although the Emperor kept the birthday banquet simple, he still saved his face, but she was still not satisfied.

Song Gongming is dressed well today. His almond-shaped eyes really resemble the emperor. They are very close cousins.

Song Gongming is not from the Chen family. He stayed aside very consciously and quietly, still thinking about something in his mind.

The King of Wu did not go near the Emperor. Even though it was the Queen Mother's birthday today, the King of Wu did not go near the Queen Mother. The Liu family was doomed to fail, so why would he go near her? The King of Wu had no hope, so he did not need to mess around. He could live a good life without working. To be disrespectful, even if the Emperor was replaced, what could he do? This Emperor was his elder brother, and he was not bad to him, so let it be.

King Wu looked at Yuan Miao without any envy, because she was a legitimate child. To be honest, Yuan Miao was not in a good position either, and he needed to fight for it himself. Even if he won, the Liu family would affect his reputation.

Even if Yuan Miao did not become emperor, his reputation for filial piety would stay with him for a long time. Liu was so vicious that the King of Wu sympathized with his younger brother.

Another eunuch came running over and urged: "The old lady wants to see the prince."

The emperor still said: "Drag it away."

The emperor was even more dissatisfied with Li. He asked her to hold a birthday banquet, but she wanted to hold a grand one even with her dowry, and she even dared to complain to me. How ridiculous! To put it bluntly, she is stupid! I didn't depose her, and she didn't get any smarter. The emperor had to wait for a suitable opportunity to depose her.

A young eunuch ran over, knelt down and carefully reported: "There are many people in Changning Palace, and I only heard people insulting King Wei."

The emperor looked gloomy and suddenly called out to the King of Wu: "What about you?"

The King of Wu was so frightened that he knelt down quickly, but he didn't know what the emperor wanted him to do?

Prince Wei could only advise the emperor with a cold face: "Brother, don't take it to heart, and don't be angry about it."

The emperor was even angrier now, his eyes reddened: "My late father and I both hold you in the palm of our hands, who dares to insult you?"

King Wei pulled his eldest brother's dragon robe and advised: "It's just a dog barking."

The emperor patted him on the shoulder and said, "Big brother loves you. Don't be afraid."

The King of Wu finally understood and said, "Yuan Miao is the best. I have also heard that he defeated pirates at sea. It's amazing!"

The emperor said excitedly: "It has the style of Taizong."

King Wu then said, "Yuan Miao is even younger than Emperor Taizong! It is said that Wei State is also very good, the best among all the kings."

The emperor said: "Yuan Miao is better than you."

The King of Wu happily replied, "I am stupid."

The emperor said in disgust: "Get up." Then he said in mercy, "Do whatever you want, but remember what you should and shouldn't do."

The King of Wu knelt again. He had a feeling of how powerful his elder brother was. In the past, the emperors were lazy, but once they get serious, they won't be able to stay arrogant for long. Scolding the King of Wei? How could he open his mouth? Even if the common people knew that Liu's son could be scolded, how dare others scold him? Even if the King of Wei did something else, wasn't it Liu's birthday today? Wouldn't a group of the most sophisticated people coax Liu? Was scolding Liu's favorite thing to hear?

The King of Wu sneered in his heart, what a shameless bunch of people. They just wanted to take this opportunity to bully the King of Wei.

The King of Wu understood very well that the Emperor truly doted on his younger brother as the apple of his eye, and that it was all in vain for anyone else to do anything for him.

He can even say something like "Taizong's style", and it can't be wrong. He is the ancestor of the Chen family. Isn't it right for his descendants to be like him?

This was not the first time that King Wei had heard this. His elder brother was a little crazy when he got angry, so he had to keep calm.

King Wei must remember that being with the emperor is like being with a tiger. If you want to maintain a good situation of brotherly love and respect, there must always be a sober person. The emperor can be in a high position, but others cannot.

King Wu secretly glanced at Yuan Miao and saw that this boy was really stable. He had always been cold and aloof since he was a child. But King Wu thought it was good, at least he could get the emperor's favor. King Wu did not dare to expect the emperor to favor him, but as long as he could be stable, he could do something.

To be honest, the court is short of people now, and there are too many people who need to be cut. There are some things that the King of Wu dare not get involved in, but it is okay to help more or less. Just like our ancestors, even if they helped the emperor. It is said that the emperor gave a treasure, and the emperor is really good.

King Wu felt that when the emperor favored someone, he was always very open-hearted, such as when he favored Jiao and Wang, but those few were not worthy. Now that the emperor could favor Yuan Miao again, King Wu felt that he might be able to share some of the emperor's favor.

Everything is ready at the Linde Hall.

Queen Li has been busy for so long and has spent so much effort, isn't it just for today? She is not for the Queen Mother.

Queen Li wanted people to see her abilities.

Concubine Meng Hui just stayed quietly aside.

The maidservant Hong Su had been with the queen since she was a child, and she was just as quiet as the queen herself. She was thinking, as a queen, why would she show off her abilities? This queen was very strange.

Now, the emperor had not arrived yet, and the empress dowager was waiting for the emperor to invite her. There was no other way, so the empress had to go and invite the emperor. The empress was busy, so she had to hand over the matters at hand to Meng Huipin first. She was not afraid that she would cause trouble, because if she did, she would be able to deal with her.

Meng Huipin let the queen do what she wanted. Most of the people in the harem knew who to listen to, although there were always some with ulterior motives.

Queen Li hurried to the outside of the Purple Palace, but was stopped. The queen looked at this place and felt a little scared.

The emperor was inside, too lazy to see her, and only issued an order: "I will go directly to the Linde Hall later."

Queen Li shouted loudly: "The old lady..."

The emperor replied: "If you don't want to live, don't live."

Queen Li wanted to shout that the birthday banquet she held had drained all her family's savings. She complained to the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother actually gave away a lot of her family's savings to others. The Queen could only swallow this bitterness by herself.

It just so happened that the crown prince came to see the emperor.

Queen Li hurriedly pulled her son aside and gave him instructions.

But the crown prince was also afraid of the emperor, especially when Prince Wei returned to Beijing, the emperor treated him too well.

When the Crown Prince entered the palace, he saw that the Emperor treated Prince Wei better than his own son.
