Sister, look at him!

Today is the last day of the year.

Several concubines and Princess Ancheng who was still living in the palace all planned to come to Changle Palace to pay their respects to He Qingwan. The third princess Huaining, who had returned to the capital because of the death of the previous emperor, and the fourth princess Chun'an, who married a Hanlin scholar and lived in the princess's mansion in the capital, also came to Changle Palace.

Those concubines and princesses, each more beautiful and noble than the other, gathered together in front of the gate of Changle Palace, attracting the attention of many palace people.

But no one dared to look up, and all of them kept their eyes fixed straight ahead.

"The Queen Mother is weak and in poor health. She has not yet gotten up. Please wait for a moment, ladies and princes." Even though Linlang's attitude was not very good, no one dared to blame her.

After all, this girl is now a big celebrity in front of He Qingwan. Even though she is only seventeen years old, she is worthy of being called Aunt Linlang.

Linlang paid attention to the time, and when it was 9:00 p.m., she led the nobles, whose legs were sore from standing, into the hall.

In the bedroom, He Qingwan was being dressed up by Mu Yan. Mu Yan was very keen on taking care of He Qingwan and wanted to do almost everything himself.

But it was just a thought, he still had a lot of things to deal with. To be honest, he didn't trust anyone, he only trusted himself and He Qingwan.

He was unwilling to believe anyone, including the He family. This was also the reason why he was reluctant to give up power. He was afraid that the He family would give up He Qingwan.

The He family is too loyal.

The scarlet rouge swept across the corners of the eyes, leaving a bright red mark, making the eyes even more charming.

He Qingwan is extremely beautiful, and she is recognized as the most beautiful woman in the capital.

"Your Majesty, everyone has arrived." Linlang stopped behind the screen at the door of the inner room and bowed her head respectfully.

"I see." He Qingwan said slowly, "Xiao Yanzi, is it not appropriate to see blood today?"

"Whether it is appropriate or not is just a matter of a word from the Imperial Observatory." Mu Yan smiled cruelly.

He lifted He Qingwan's chin with his slender white fingers, and with his other hand he picked up the lip brush and gently applied bright red lip balm on her.

He Qingwan hummed and said nothing more.

"The Queen Mother wants to have breakfast first, so let them wait a little longer." Mu Yan said to Linlang who was waiting at the door.

"Here."

About half an hour later, the elegant He Qingwan arrived in formal attire, with her lackey Mu Yan serving her at her beck and call, personally standing by her side, holding her hand and supporting her.

The seated concubines and princesses all stood up and saluted.

"Get up." He Qingwan didn't even look at them. There were more than thirty children born in the harem, but now there are less than ten left, and most of them are the children of the four concubines. The situation is too transparent.

They are all scheming and resourceful women. He Qingwan had to establish her own personality well the first time she met them, otherwise she would be annoyed to death by these man-eating plants.

Sitting in the main seat, she admired the new finger guard on her hand and said casually, "How come you have time to come to my house today..."

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Everyone bowed towards the door again.

He Qingwan:?

She stared at Eunuch Liu with unfriendly eyes.

She didn't even finish her words!

Jing Zhan, wearing a dragon robe, walked in expressionlessly.

He always behaves like this when dealing with strangers.

"Stand up." His voice was cold and hard, and it was not difficult to hear the impatience in it.

"I am tired. Huaining and Chun'an will stay here. The others can go back."

He Qingwan said something that made people furious in a casual manner.

The concubines were all in disbelief. They had waited in the snow for so long, and then drank tea for an hour, but they were kicked out before they could even say a word? !

"Why, do you want me and the Queen Mother to see you off in person?"

Jing Zhan sat at another main seat, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and his voice did not reveal any emotion.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" The former virtuous concubine, now the dowager concubine of Prince Yong, smiled slightly, brisk yet gentle, worthy of being born into a military family.

With Concubine Xian taking the lead, the other concubines also reluctantly bowed and took their leave. Princess Ancheng, the only one who was not left behind, glared at He Qingwan hatefully.

She was very careful in her movements, but she was too young and her methods were immature, so she was seen by Mu Yan.

Mu Yan grinned, revealing a row of sharp white teeth.

He has been patient for a long time and has been the holy father of more than a dozen worlds. Now that he finally has a script to play a vicious villain, he must make good use of it.

He just lowered his head and whispered a few words to He Qingwan, and He Qingwan sat up straight.

"Your Majesty, An Cheng glared at me." He Qingwan complained directly.

Anjo: ???

No, you two arms! We are in a palace fight, how can you play like this? !

"Oh?" Jing Zhan raised his eyebrows.

"Your Majesty! Queen Mother! An Cheng dares not!" An Cheng knelt down with a plop, and her mother, Concubine Mei, also knelt down immediately.

"So you mean the supervisor is lying to me?"

He Qingwan gently stroked her finger guard, her beautiful eyes focused only on the glittering gemstone on the finger guard. Her voice was very soft, but it made Mei Fei shudder.

Concubine Mei plucked up the courage to look at Mu Yan who was standing behind He Qingwan. Mu Yan noticed her gaze and gave her an extremely kind smile.

"..." An Cheng was so scared that she couldn't say a word. She had heard about Kui Muyan's methods. It would be better to just kill her with a knife than let her go through that.

After all, Concubine Mei was one of the victorious ones in the palace fight, and her psychological quality was much better than An Cheng's. After just a moment of calm thinking, she knew the reason.

The key is He Qingwan.

An Cheng offended He Qingwan.

Ancheng can't escape this disaster today.

He Qingwan's reason for targeting An Cheng was simple. As mentioned before, An Cheng liked handsome men and even used their substitutes to satisfy her fantasies. He Qingwan didn't care about this. But Mu Yan sent her the news that his subordinates had found out. Among the people An Cheng fantasized about, there were two people she was very familiar with.

One is her elder brother He Xiyu, and the other is her cousin who is the same age as her, Yue Yinling, the young master of the Duke Dingguo’s Mansion.

This made He Qingwan feel both physically and psychologically uncomfortable.

"Go and kneel in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, and copy a Buddhist scripture for me. Just copy it a hundred or eighty times." He Qingwan pretended to have a headache and pressed his temple. "Oh, my head is starting to hurt again. Ancheng, go and copy it quickly."

He Qingwan dealt with Ancheng easily.

I copied the Buddhist scriptures a hundred times, and after I finished, all the flowers had wilted.

An Cheng looked up at He Qingwan in disbelief, tears in her eyes. She then looked at Jing Zhan, who was drinking tea with an expressionless face.

An Cheng's heart was completely chilled. She kowtowed heavily and said, "An Cheng thanks the Queen Mother for her grace..."

"The Queen Mother's punishment is quite light." Jing Zhan said slowly, "Pass on my decree. Princess Ancheng has no respect for the superiors and is confined to her house for one year. The Queen Mother Ancheng has failed to educate her daughter properly and has damaged the reputation of the royal family..."

Jing Zhan paused, and looked at Kui Muyan with a half-smile, "What punishment do you think should be given?"

"She will be sent to the cold palace, and she will be given a three-foot white silk or a cup of poisoned wine to confess her crime to the late emperor. The choice is up to Concubine Ancheng." He Qingwan took over Jing Zhan's words. "Your Majesty, why do you have to go through so much trouble?"

In short, I just want Mu Yan to bear the infamy.

"The Queen Mother has a very good idea." Jing Zhan's eyes were somewhat complicated.

Concubine Mei had bullied He Ruman, who had been the queen, many times. Even Jing Zhan's biological mother, the late queen, was harmed by Concubine Mei and could no longer give birth to children. It also seemed that Concubine Mei was involved in the death of the eldest prince.
