A worker with a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan travels back in time to ancient times and becomes a pri

royal palace.

In the court, Emperor Ying was reading the memorials submitted by the ministers. Eunuch Liu came in from outside and whispered, "Your Majesty, Ye Linglong is here again."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Ying slammed the memorial heavily on the desk and snorted, "Let her in and see what tricks she plays today."

After a while, Ye Linglong came in.

"Your Majesty, please help Linglong."

"what happened again?"

"Yesterday, Wei Zhiying made fun of Linglong in public, causing Linglong to be defrauded of one thousand taels of silver by a street vendor. She also deliberately provoked Linglong and started a fight with her men." Ye Linglong complained.

All the ministers were listening to her continue.

Then Ye Linglong told the whole story of Xia Taoyuan paying a high price for the jade bracelet. All the officials could not help laughing, and they all thought that Princess Wanshou was pretty, but she was not very flexible.

Emperor Ying was also so angry that he laughed, and said, "Princess Jing offered a high price, you can choose not to buy it, why do you have to raise the price?" But he was muttering in his heart that when it comes to cleverness, Ye Linglong is really not as good as Wei Zhiying.

"She always wants to suppress me, and I don't want her to succeed!" Ye Linglong said unconvinced.

Seeing that Emperor Ying didn't help her, she said, "Also, there was a man who helped her beat me yesterday. Afterwards, I asked passers-by and they said that the man's name was Mu Yun!"

As soon as these words came out, Mu Huairen felt his anger rising. This unfilial son, not only did he not come home every day, but he even helped Wei Zhiying fight?

"Aren't you not injured? I promised you before that I would get you married within fifteen days. I will do it. You go back and wait for news at home. Don't come unless you are summoned." Emperor Ying said perfunctorily.

Ye Linglong was anxious: "Your Majesty, are you trying to get me out? I haven't finished talking yet. Wei Zhiying left with a man yesterday. Later, my guards said that they saw Prince Jing looking for him everywhere but couldn't find him. It seems that he didn't come back all night!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like an uproar, and all the ministers began to discuss in low voices.

Xiao Feng was stunned when he heard this, he hadn't heard of it.

Mu Huairen was also shocked. He thought Wei Zhiying and Mu Yun had left, and even suspected that his son's refusal to marry was related to Wei Zhiying. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get angry and cursed inwardly: "Rebellious son!" He glared at Wei Mingcheng fiercely.

Only Wei Mingcheng had a worried look on his face.

Emperor Ying's face turned black. Princess Jing went out with a man and did not return all night. How shameless! Such disregard for human ethics is simply shameless. This is a disgrace to the royal family!

"Dismiss the court!" Emperor Ying's voice was filled with resentment. He wished he could strangle Ye Linglong to death. He actually said this in front of all the court officials. How could he put his face down? !

All the court officials started to walk out, and Emperor Ying said again: "Wei Mingcheng, Mu Huairen, you stay!" He also thought that the man who took Princess Jing away was Mu Yun.

Wei Mingcheng and Mu Huairen looked at each other. Both enemies knew that something was wrong. Even when Emperor Ying was angry, he never called them by their names in front of all the ministers.

"Eunuch Liu, send Princess Wanshou out!" Emperor Ying said with his eyes closed.

Ye Linglong saw that the atmosphere was not right and quickly retreated. She came back just after leaving the Jinluan Palace and said, "I heard that the man who took Wei Zhiying away was called Qi Nanfeng."

After hearing this, Mu Huairen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and he looked at Wei Mingcheng with a gloating look.

Emperor Ying opened his eyes, suppressed his great anger, and said to Mu Huairen: "Go!"

"I'm leaving now!" Mu Huairen said in a relaxed tone, turned around and left.

"Look at yourself, what a thing you have raised! You just contradicted me a few days ago, and now you are staying out all night with Qi Nanfeng. How disgraceful! How disgraceful!!!" Emperor Ying finally lost his temper.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. It is my fault for not educating my daughter well and spoiling Zhiying too much. When Zhiying comes back, I will discipline her strictly." Wei Mingcheng wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"Where did she go?" Emperor Ying raised his voice.

"I don't know either. The Prime Minister's Office sent people out to look for it yesterday but they couldn't find it."

"Let her enter the palace when you see her!" Emperor Ying said angrily, and then turned to Eunuch Liu and said, "Send someone to Prince Jing's Mansion to inform them to come back and let Princess Jing enter the palace directly! Send someone else to Nanzhu Mansion to summon Qi Nanfeng to the palace!"

After saying that, he left angrily.

Wei Mingcheng sighed and went home.

Qi Nanfeng sent Xia Taoyuan to the prime minister's residence, watched her go in, and then returned home.

Xia Taoyuan went to Madam Wei's room first. Lu Qing'er was there too. Seeing her, Madam Wei finally felt relieved. "It's good that you're back. If you have any problems in the future, you'll feel better if you talk about them."

Lu Qing'er took her hand and said, "Go wash up and change your clothes first, and then ask your brother to take you to the palace. Someone from the palace just now said that the emperor summoned you."

Xia Taoyuan responded and wanted to go to Yingyuan to change clothes, but was stopped by Madam Wei: "Child, you should be more open-minded about everything. Many times, people are not in control of themselves. If you can't move forward, take a step back. Being too hard will easily break, but being gentle will never fail."

"Mother, I understand."

Lu Qing'er pulled her up and went to Yingyuan with her. Yu'er and Cui'er were very surprised to see her. They hurriedly boiled water and helped Xia Taoyuan take a bath and change clothes.

Seeing that Xia Taoyuan had changed her clothes, Lu Qing'er went to find Wei Jinghe.

When they arrived at the palace, Chu Xingluo was also in the imperial study.

Seeing Xia Taoyuan, he ignored the presence of the emperor and eunuch Liu, rushed over and hugged her tightly, his voice choked with sobs: "Taotao, Taotao!"

Xia Taoyuan became angry when she thought of the jade necklace he gave to Ye Linglong and pushed him away cruelly.

Emperor Ying looked at the two of them and secretly cursed his son for being useless. He wanted him to inherit the throne in the future, but he didn't expect him to be so obsessed with love. Where did the cold and sober third son go?

"Third brother, who is Taotao?" Emperor Ying asked, suppressing his anger.

"Father, Taotao is Zhiying's nickname." Chu Xingluo replied.

"Princess Jing, I heard that you did not return home all night yesterday, and many people looked for you until late at night. Is this true?" Emperor Ying glanced at Xia Taoyuan.

Xia Taoyuan did not hide it: "It is true."

"You are aware that your behavior will damage the reputation of Prince Jing and the royal family. You should be expelled from Prince Jing's Mansion!" Emperor Ying's voice became increasingly severe.

"Zhiying knows that Zhiying is willing to accept any punishment, whether it means divorcing me or punishing me, I will accept it all." Xia Taoyuan had a blank expression on his face.

"Heh!" "Tao Tao!"

Emperor Ying and Chu Xingluo spoke at the same time. Emperor Ying couldn't stand her indifferent attitude, and Chu Xingluo was heartbroken that she said he wanted to divorce her.

"Tell me, where did you and Qi Nanfeng go?" Emperor Ying didn't want to make random guesses. He hoped that Xia Taoyuan could give him a reasonable explanation.

"I went to the suburbs, drank some wine and climbed the mountains." Xia Taoyuan answered truthfully.

"As the wife of Prince Jing, you went out with the hostage of Nanzhu Kingdom and spent the night drinking. Wei Zhiying, do you have any sense of shame?" Emperor Ying said sternly. Eunuch Liu winked at Xia Taoyuan, but the latter did not even look up.

Xia Taoyuan wanted to argue, but suddenly she remembered what Mrs. Wei said, so she kept silent.

"Father, there is nothing innocent between Zhiying and Master Qi. I am a good friend of Master Qi and we often drink together, so Master Qi and Zhiying are also familiar with each other. Master Qi has helped Zhiying and me many times in the past. In Lion City, it was because of Master Qi's antidote that Zhiying was able to survive." Chu Xingluo hurriedly explained. In order to make Emperor Ying believe, he lied and said that he often drank with Qi Nanfeng.

Emperor Ying pinched his brows, knowing that if he blamed Wei Zhiying today, the third brother would defend her with all his might. He sighed, not expecting that the third brother, who was born in an imperial family, would still be a romantic. He loved Xiao Rong very much, but given his situation back then, if he was asked to give up the throne for Xiao Rong and not marry anyone else, he sighed that he could not do it. The third brother refused repeatedly, and even wanted to become a commoner rather than marry Ye Linglong.

He looked at the two of them and thought: Aren't you two in love? I just don't agree with you! I will let Ye Linglong marry me right away!
