The prince of love, the wealth has come to me

"I don't have any opinion. When enemies come, we can just fight them with our soldiers and when water comes, we can just block it with earth." Ling Yueqing has always adhered to the principle that there will always be a way out when you reach the mountain, and there is no point in worrying in advance.

(Author's side note: When will I learn to be like the heroine? She starts to get anxious about the smallest things many days in advance.)

"Your Highness is right. I will take care of everything for you after you enter the palace. Your Highness can rest assured."

Ling Yueqing thought of the gossip Ying'er and the others had told her before, and asked curiously, "I heard that the queen has been away from the palace for seven years to worship Buddha?"

"Yes, that's what was announced to the public."

When Ling Yueqing heard this, she immediately became interested. It seemed like there was something behind it! So she told everyone all the speculations about it.

"What about the reality? Have you become a nun after seeing through the world? Have you cheated on the emperor? Or has your beauty died young?"

Xiao Mingchen: “…”

"Is this what the people outside spread?"

"Well, it's as outrageous as it can be, so which guess is correct?"

"None of it is right."

"what is that?"

"The queen attempted to assassinate the emperor and was placed under house arrest."

"Assassination? Why?" Ling Yueqing's face was full of curiosity.

"Did you know that the Queen is Prime Minister Shen's daughter?"

Ling Yueqing shook her head, "I don't know."

Xiao Mingchen held his forehead helplessly. He knew nothing yet was still so gossipy.

So he told her this secret of the palace, "Empress Shen's external identity is the daughter of the Prime Minister who was raised in the countryside since she was a child. In fact, she is the little princess Yue Yuan of the defeated Yue Kingdom."

"After the defeat, the Emperor of the Moon Kingdom brought his prince and princess to our country to pay tribute. At the banquet, the Emperor somehow fell in love with the princess at first sight."

"The Princess of Yue had a childhood sweetheart in Yue Kingdom who she was fiancée, so she naturally refused. However, the Emperor ignored the Princess's refusal and forcibly took her into the harem. He also crowned her as the Queen despite everyone's opposition. In order to silence everyone, he fabricated her identity as the Prime Minister's daughter."

"The Princess of the Moon Kingdom was forced to enter the palace. Didn't the Emperor of the Moon Kingdom say anything?"

"What can I say? The tribute almost emptied the national treasury. He doesn't even need to consider exchanging a princess for half of the national treasury."

Ling Yueqing was a little speechless.

Yes, which is more important?

Logically speaking, this is a good deal. With this money, the country will have the opportunity to continue to develop and thrive.

Or maybe the Emperor of Yue Kingdom had this plan before he came, otherwise why would he bring the princess along when paying tribute?

But it doesn't make sense to him. There is no comparison between wealth and daughters, but he is the emperor, so he always thinks more than ordinary people.

"Then the Princess of the Moon Kingdom is not favored in the Moon Kingdom?"

"On the contrary, Yue Yuan is the most beloved princess of Yue Kingdom. She is the legitimate daughter of the Queen and the legitimate sister of the Crown Prince."

Ling Yueqing couldn't understand it. This was so cruel. The daughter whom she had spoiled since she was a child just said she didn't want him anymore.

"So Princess Yueyuan finally agreed to become the queen?"

Ling Yueqing felt sad for her just thinking about it. The country was defeated, but she, a princess, had to bear the consequences. How could a princess who had always been pampered not bear the blow of being betrayed by her closest relatives?

"Speaking of which, Princess Yue Yuan is also of her true nature. She didn't cry or make a fuss, but calmly severed ties with the Yue Kingdom's royal family."

Ling Yueqing: "..."

You call this not making trouble?

When Ling Yueqing saw her, she could not help but sigh, "What a wonderful woman."

She was so immersed in this sad story that she forgot to ask about the Queen Mother.

Zhuyu and Ying'er were both very happy when they learned that they would be entering the palace early tomorrow morning, especially Ying'er, who kept asking Ling Yueqing, "Princess, are you nervous? Are you excited?"

"Don't be nervous, don't be excited." Ling Yueqing became more and more frugal with her words. She had already said these words to her several times.

"Princess, that's the imperial palace. We haven't been there yet. I heard it's very beautiful. The houses are beautiful, the people are beautiful, and most importantly, the food is delicious."

Ling Yueqing: "..."

After all the fuss, I'm still waiting for her here.

"Okay, okay, I'll let you have a taste when I get a chance. Can you please leave me alone for a while?"

"Yes, sir." Ying'er immediately smiled and covered her mouth.

Ling Yueqing went to bed early that day, but all she could think about was the palace, and she couldn't sleep for a long time.

After all, no one in this palace is simple. They are all people who hold the power of life and death.

It is said that if a prince breaks the law, he will be punished the same as a commoner, but in fact, in the minds of some powerful people, killing a person is no different from crushing an ant.

When I got up early in the morning, Zhu Yuying'er had already brought the clothes.

Ling Yueqing looked at the layer upon layer of princess crown and clothes, her head buzzing. If she put them on in this weather, she would either die of exhaustion or melt in the heat.

"Is this the only thing I can wear? Is there no other choice?"

Zhu Yu looked at Ling Yueqing's disgusted expression and immediately explained, "Yes, there are also the princess's daily clothes, which are similar to our daily clothes, but the style is specially made. Today is the first time for the princess to enter the palace to see the emperor and the empress dowager. Shouldn't she dress more formally?"

"That's not necessary." Ling Yueqing immediately refused. Regardless of whether it was formal or not, she still felt that her life was more important, and she was afraid of getting heatstroke from covering herself up.

After putting on her makeup, at Zhu Yuying'er's repeated request, Ling Yueqing finally reluctantly agreed to let them style her hair like a jewelry display case.

It can be said that the pearl and jade step-shaking ornaments have everything. They are indeed beautiful, but they are also very heavy.

After getting ready, the three of them went to the front yard of the palace together. They had agreed with Xiao Mingchen to meet here yesterday.

When Ling Yueqing walked to the door, she saw Chi Feng supporting Xiao Mingchen walking towards her. He was no longer as energetic as before, but instead looked like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness, with a pale face and a weak gait.

Ling Yueqing immediately understood what he meant, and stepped forward to take Chi Feng's place with a look of understanding on her face. She held the King of War's hand and smiled like a flower.

On the one hand, she pretends to be affectionate towards her husband in front of outsiders, but on the other hand, this handsome guy is her current husband, so she would like to take advantage of him for free.

Xiao Mingchen looked at the delicate hands that were supporting him, and his clothes were wrinkled because they were holding him too tightly.

Xiao Mingchen sighed quietly in his heart and said nothing. What could she do wrong? She just admired me, and her mistake was that I was too handsome.

When the two of them were leaving the house, Butler Fu repeatedly warned Ling Yueqing to be careful with her words and actions after entering the palace, for fear that she might cause trouble.

He liked her character very much, she was straightforward and cheerful, but those people in the palace always liked to be pretentious, and a frank character would easily suffer losses.

Even after the two people's carriage drove away, Butler Fu still had a worried look on his face. After all, this was the first time the princess entered the palace, which really made people feel uneasy.

After getting on the carriage, Ling Yueqing looked around and was amazed again.
