The autumn sunshine was gentle, but it made her eyes sore from being cooped up in the house all year round.

"Miss, what's going on today?"

Qi called him respectfully. She had now been demoted to a commoner with no rank. Even the lowest-ranking palace maid was a junior servant of the ninth rank.

The maid was puzzled: "You can't even remember the date of your own daughter's full moon. You are too..."

Qi then remembered that she had been in the cold palace for a month.

If she had not done something like replacing the baby, she should have just finished her confinement and was enjoying the happiness of family life with her own little princess.

But now all the excitement and joy had nothing to do with her. She murmured, "If I could do it again..."

Qi's eyes became determined. If she had to do it again, she would plan it more carefully.

The little girl was killed in the womb and burned to death so that the emperor would not notice anything unusual.

What’s the use of a princess? When she grows up, she can only get married. Only when a prince comes, she can become the queen or the empress dowager!

As the banquet was about to start, the emperor went to the Liangyi Hall, and everyone bowed and took their seats.

Prince Lu didn't realize there was anything wrong with his drink. After drinking a few glasses, he felt dizzy and thought it was because of the strong wine he had drunk today.

After a while, he raised his glass high and said, "I, your Majesty, congratulate you on your newborn baby. I thought I could have attended my nephew's full moon banquet last year, but I finally got to attend it after a year."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall suddenly became quiet, and no one dared to make a sound.

We didn’t have a full moon banquet last year because both of your Majesty’s princes died young, and Prince Lu was literally pulling teeth out of a tiger’s mouth.

Even if he is the emperor's younger brother, he wouldn't dare to do this!

The Imperial Concubine and the Shu Concubine were about to throw their chopsticks.

The veins on the emperor's hands were bulging, showing his anger, but his face remained motionless.

"So I thank God for his mercy and leaving me a princess."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Prince Lu smiled and said, "It's not that God has mercy on me, but that a little girl can't block the road, so I didn't do it."

He proudly took another sip of the wine, picked up several slices of roast duck with chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth, looking like a very heroic drunkard.

"Master!" The imperial concubine could not hold up her body and fell down from the throne. The palace maid behind her hurriedly supported her.

But her whole body went limp, unable to hold herself up, but her beautiful eyes were filled with poison as she stared at Prince Lu, as if she wanted to stare through him.

No one else at the banquet thought it was wrong. The imperial concubine was the mother of one of the princes who died in infancy. It was normal for her to be upset when she heard Prince Lu's outrageous words.

The emperor gave Eunuch Jiang a look, and Eunuch Jiang immediately shouted: "Where is the imperial guard? Quickly capture Prince Lu!"

The armor and combat boots made a clanging sound as they stepped on the floor, and the imperial guards on duty outside the Liangyi Palace came in and captured Prince Lu.

"How dare you! I am a prince of the Yue Dynasty, so take your dirty hands away!"

The medicine in his wine was taking effect and he was not aware of the situation yet.

After the people were taken away, the hall became quiet. The sounds of singing, dancing and music stopped. The musicians and dancers stood quietly in the corner, not daring to perform anymore.

The Minister of the Central Secretariat whispered to his wife, "Your Majesty probably isn't in the mood to continue the banquet. We can go back and make a surprise attack later to see if the children are doing their homework seriously."

The wife of the Minister of the Central Secretariat nodded.

Then the emperor's deep but powerful voice came from the dragon throne: "Today is the princess's full moon day, and the ministers should not let this shameless villain spoil the fun."

He clapped his hands: "Keep playing the music, keep dancing!"

Zhongshuling: Can you still eat this?

Bei Jingchu in Xuanshi Hall welcomed the happiest moment of the day, as the wet nurse read out the gift list to her.

What kind of agate pillow was sent by the Zhongshuling family?

The ice silk sent by Concubine Xian’s family.

There is also the twelve-hour dial given by her biological father.

Bei Jingchu counted her increasingly abundant piggy bank and smiled, revealing her tender pink gums.

The nanny smiled lovingly: "The little princess is really smart! She can understand good things even though she is so young."

After taking good care of the child for more than half a month, the nanny liked the child more and more.

[Of course not! I’m the smartest! ]

Mammy:? Who is talking?

[What are you daydreaming about? Keep reading! I still want to hear about my gifts and what else?]

The nanny discovered that she could hear the little princess's thoughts, and then the emperor walked in.

She controlled herself and bowed without showing any sign of abnormality.

There was a child in their village who was burned to death because of her strangeness. If other people knew about the magical powers of the little princess, it would be hard to say whether it would be a blessing or a curse.

She didn't dare to gamble and could only try her best to keep it secret.

The nanny continued to read: "The Imperial Master gave me a peace locket."

"Oh? Was it sent by the imperial teacher?" The emperor who came in to hug Bei Jingchu turned around, walked to the pile of gifts, picked out the peace locket, and held it in front of Bei Jingchu.

A red string is connected to a transparent white jade peace locket.

It looks high quality, smooth and oily.

But Bei Jingchu has seen a lot of good things since she traveled through time. This kind of jade is just a small gadget that can be found everywhere in the palace.

However, the emperor solemnly tied a red rope to the head of her bed.

"The things sent by the national teacher are not ordinary things. Maybe they can really keep Chuchu safe."

National Division?

It took Bei Jingchu a while to remember that there was such a person.

His presence in the original work was too weak. Apart from the one time he dissuaded the emperor from taking the elixir, he never appeared again.

[Is the Imperial Master some powerful figure? Why was he of no use at all when the Yue Dynasty fell? ]

Emperor: ...Let’s not talk about the loss of our country. We are still good father and daughter.

When the nanny heard this, she could no longer maintain her expression. The country is destroyed?

So she couldn't send all the money back home from today onwards. She had to leave some for herself for the trip so that she could take the little princess away with her.

Bei Jingchu clicked on the favorability column and saw one more person.

Ayu

Status: Mother of the Grand Princess of the Yue Dynasty (Sixth Rank)

Favorability: 40

Wow, it’s worthy of being a royal palace, even the wet nurse is an official.

No wonder there is an old saying that the seventh-rank official is the prime minister’s door!

Everyone who appears on the system page has a favorability of 40 or above. If others' favorability towards her reaches 40, she will appear here.

While Bei Jingchu was awake, the emperor carried her to the inner prison.

A basin of water was poured on Prince Lu's face. He opened his eyes in confusion, then seemed to see the scene in front of him clearly and became sober instantly.

"Brother! Brother! I was talking nonsense before. I am your only brother!" He said as he tried to crawl over and hug the emperor's thighs, but was kicked away by the guard.

"Tie him up."

With just two simple words, Prince Lu was tied to a pillar, unable to move.

He once again deeply realized what kind of imperial power he longed for.

[So handsome! He is worthy of being my father. The villain was caught before he could even use his strength. He is the villain who died the fastest. ]

The emperor patted the baby in his arms in a very good mood.

"Brother, I was possessed by an evil spirit just now, so I spoke nonsense. Please forgive me for not reporting the truth. In fact, both nephews were killed by Concubine Li.

I turned a blind eye because I was afraid of getting involved in the palace disputes."

It was Concubine Li who did it in the first place. When the emperor investigates Concubine Li, he will be cleared of suspicion. The final punishment will be nothing more than being confined to his house for a few days for offending the dead prince.
