As soon as she opened her eyes, she was forcibly carried back to the East Palace by the paranoid pri

"Your concubine pays respect to the Crown Princess!"

No matter how resentful the eleven concubines of high rank in the Eastern Palace were, they still knelt down obediently and paid their respects when He Yue came out.

He Yue thought that as long as she kept a cold face, others would not notice her nervousness, so she glanced at them calmly. Oh my! Yan Huan is fat and thin, each has her own beauty. Dog men are really lucky!

The concubines of the Eastern Palace saw that the Crown Princess He was sitting in the first seat and just looked at them coldly. Her eyes were clear and she spoke for a long time. Her voice was indifferent, "Stand up."

It is really difficult to deal with. I thought people from the countryside must be cowardly!

"Thank you, Princess!"

Only after the concubines of the Eastern Palace stood up and took their seats could they see He Yue's face clearly.

Their hearts skipped a beat immediately. She was truly a beauty of unparalleled beauty, the best of her time. She just looked at them lazily. Her gorgeous and affectionate willow-leaf eyes seemed to be filled with coldness, adding a touch of noble beauty.

Pan Liangyuan bowed to He Yue and introduced herself in a gentle voice, "I am Pan Liangyuan from Feige."

"I thought that since you are here, Princess Consort, the affairs of the Eastern Palace should be handed over to you, but without the order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I don't know what to do."

Pan Liangyuan actually exaggerated herself with these words. The most important matters in the backyard of the East Palace were under the control of Xiao Guanzi, and only some trivial and unimportant matters were given to her. After all, her status and position were the highest before He Yue.

He Yue thought to herself, here it comes, here it comes, the palace fight is here, I don’t know what to do, just don’t say anything!

"Then you can ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and then come back to me." He Yue looked normal. She glanced at the luxurious armor on her hand, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said lightly, "Pan Liangyuan, you can decide for yourself which rules to follow."

If she wants to snatch a man and power, she can go and flaunt it in front of Ning Rushong. But she knows nothing and doesn't know how to snatch any power. If she falls into a trap and gets punished, it would be bad.

This armor set does look good, with tortoise shell carvings, but it's a little inconvenient to use with. When I was picking up the handkerchief just now, I almost poked my palm.

Pan Liangyuan was flattered wherever she went. She was the legitimate daughter at home, and she was also the one with the highest status in the Eastern Palace. She had never been ignored or ridiculed like this.

"Yes, Crown Princess!" Pan Liangyuan responded respectfully on the surface, but in fact, vicious thoughts were running through her mind. She wished she could have someone scratch He Yue's bewitching face.

She was determined not to give up even a little bit of power in her hands. She wanted to see how the Crown Princess would live in the future without any power!

What followed was just some polite words. The concubines in the Eastern Palace who followed Pan Liangyuan spoke the least, while the others were quite flattering and fawning towards He Yue.

He Yue responded from time to time, and her demeanor was dignified, and no one noticed her inner panic.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" Xiao Guanzi's feminine voice came from outside the hall.

The concubines had not seen the Crown Prince for a long time, and they all smiled happily and bowed quickly, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Crown Prince!"

Pan Liangyuan softened her voice even more, and a blush appeared on her face.

Ning Rushong stepped into the main hall, wearing a dark robe embroidered with cranes, which made him look elegant, graceful, and dignified.

He came to He Yue and stretched out his hand. He Yue put his hand in his palm and then followed the force.

"Get up." Ning Rushong waited until He Yue got up before speaking, obviously coming to support He Yue.

He originally didn't plan to come, as He Yue would have to face these things. But then he thought, her identity had suddenly changed from a merchant to a princess consort, and her way of dealing with things would definitely be inferior to those girls from aristocratic families in every way. If she was bullied badly, she would not know where to hide and cry.

He Yue smiled brightly and did not let go, "Your Highness, it's a coincidence that you came here. Pan Liangyuan just wanted to ask you something."

Her own concubines should handle it themselves, she doesn’t want to bother with it!

When the concubines in the Eastern Palace heard the Crown Princess speaking so softly, any remaining coldness in them melted away like spring water, with tenderness in their eyes and their whole bodies as bright as lotus flowers.

Those words were like a needle hidden in cotton. I don't know how the prince will treat Pan Liangyuan.

Pan Liangyuan's face immediately turned pale. When she saw the prince's majestic gaze shifting to her, she hurriedly explained, "It was I who wanted to hand over the household supplies to the Crown Princess, but I didn't have your order, Your Highness, so I was in trouble."

"Oh." Ning Rusong held He Yue's hand and said slowly, "Don't you remember that the cabinet has always been in Xiao Guanzi's hands? Is the power of cabinet in your hands?"

Xiao Guanzi glanced at Pan Liangyuan with a sinister look, and added, "Your Highness, Pan Liangyuan only has some minor powers of dispatch, and the household expenses are still in the hands of the servants."

Pan Liangyuan knelt down with a plop, her pink skirt scattered on the ground, "It was a slip of the tongue from this concubine. I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess will forgive me!"

He Yue lowered her eyes and slightly bent her fingers, trying to let the armor poke Ning Rushong's hand, but the next second Ning Rushong's cold voice reached her ears.

"Pan Liangyuan has been so talkative that you are demoted to Chenghui and sentenced to two months of solitary confinement. Go away. As for the power in your hands, return it to the Crown Princess."

Pan Liangyuan, no, Pan Chenghui's face turned pale. This time, she had completely lost. "I obey your order."

He Yue withdrew her fingers that were about to move, raised her eyes and smiled charmingly at Ning Rushong.

"Let's go." After Ning Rushong said this, he took He Yue away.

"Farewell, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess!"

The concubines in the Eastern Palace knelt and kowtowed, and they finally realized in their hearts that the Crown Princess was not someone to be trifled with. The Crown Prince's heart was also on her side. Pan Chenghui's fate was a warning!

After leaving Biyuan, He Yue found that two sedan chairs were already waiting outside. She asked, "Where are we going?"

Realizing that he has lost interest in her, he wants to let her leave the palace?

Ning Rusong got on one of the sedan chairs and said, "You must go with me to the Guangming Palace of my father to express your gratitude."

It is called Guangming Palace, but in fact it is similar to a Taoist temple. The current Emperor Jingmu is a man who loves to seek immortality and the way of Taoism. When he first ascended the throne, he was considered a wise and virtuous monarch and issued many benevolent decrees. Later on, he became more and more violent and finally built the Guangming Palace and recruited a large number of sorcerers.

In fact, if he had not been obsessed with cultivating immortals, the He family would not have been so powerful, and Ning Rushong's position as crown prince would not have been so secure.

Emperor Jingmu was originally an emperor with iron-blooded methods, but it's a pity.

What a pity.

…………

There were many sorcerers in Taoist robes coming and going in Guangming Palace.

Emperor Jingmu sat in the first seat, wearing a Taoist hairpin, a moon-white robe without any patterns, and twirling a Taoist rosary in his hand.

Ning Rushong's eyes and eyebrows are indeed somewhat similar to those of Emperor Jingmu, with a clear and upright appearance and solemn expression.

Empress He looked a little old sitting next to Emperor Jingmu.

"Your son pays respects to his father, the emperor, and his mother, the empress!"

He Yue and Ning Rushong greeted each other together.

"Please take a seat." Emperor Jingmu said calmly.

He Yue sat down next to Ning Rushong. When she raised her eyes, she met Emperor Jingmu's warm gaze.

She murmured inwardly that he was not as violent and cold-blooded as the rumors said.

He looks somewhat familiar, Ning Rusong actually looks like his father.
