The legitimate daughter brings disaster to the concubine! Seize the imperial power and the throne

Prince Shen was humiliated by the Emperor of Southern Liang. He was unwilling to accept this but dared not show it in the slightest and could only leave obediently.

Little did he know that as soon as he left, the Southern Liang Emperor's face darkened completely: "It was I who nurtured his appetite. How dare he attack the prince!"

Changxi stepped forward cautiously and said, "Your Majesty, this may be a misunderstanding. In my opinion, the prince may not be so brave as to dare to attack Your Highness."

"Humph!" Emperor Nanliang waved his hand and snorted, "When the Crown Prince gets into trouble, he is the one who benefits. The rumors about the Crown Prince's early death and Bu Yan's background, every one of them is to clear obstacles, and now he even has his eyes on the military power."

Then the Emperor of Southern Liang saw another memorial, which stated that Northern Qi wanted to marry Lu Jingning. He was so angry that he took the memorial, tore it up on the spot and cursed it as a bastard.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is blessed with great fortune and will surely return safely." Chang Xi advised.

But the Emperor of Southern Liang did not think so.

He took a deep breath, a trace of guilt appeared on his face: "I owe the East Palace."

Emperor Nanliang pondered for a moment and then said, "Send a message to the queen, asking her to claim illness for the time being and hand over the power of assisting in the management of the harem to An Ning."

"Your Majesty, this is not appropriate. The princess is still unmarried, and the many concubines in the harem may not be willing to obey the princess." Changxi said worriedly.

The Southern Liang Emperor had already thought of a reason: "The marriage with Northern Qi will allow Aning to learn some skills in advance. With the Queen's assistance, who dares to say no?"

When the imperial edict was issued, the whole court was shocked.

It is absolutely unprecedented to let an unmarried princess take charge of the harem.

When Lu Jingning received the imperial edict, she was tidying up the prince's study. Her eyelashes trembled slightly. She really couldn't understand the Emperor of Southern Liang's behavior.

"Princess, the emperor is reluctant to let you go in marriage, he is just pretending. He does this to support the Eastern Palace and not allow others to underestimate the Eastern Palace. Wait for the prince to return." Changxi came personally to announce the decree and specifically explained the Southern Liang Emperor's true intentions.

Lu Jingning frowned.

"Just now, Prince Shen asked to see the emperor and exposed Lord Bu's background, trying to get the emperor to take away Lord Bu's military power. The emperor was very angry." Changxi told everything in detail, and said politely to Lu Jingning: "Princess, I have to say something disrespectful. The emperor now feels guilty about the East Palace, but I don't know how long this guilt will last. You should make plans early."

After saying this, Eunuch Changxi bowed and retreated.

Lu Jingning fell into the chair. Could it be that even after her rebirth, she still couldn’t change her father’s fate?

At that time, someone from Fengqi Palace came outside the door and said, "Princess, the Queen has sent someone to invite you over."

Lu Jingning came back to her senses and forced herself to calm down. She couldn't collapse or panic. She had to hold on to the East Palace and wait for her father to come back.

When they arrived at Fengqi Palace, Queen Fang saw her and waved at her lovingly: "Aning, from today on, you will be in charge of the six palaces. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lu Jingning thanked.

Queen Fang was not Lu Jingning's biological grandmother, but the empress dowager. Her biological grandmother died of illness more than ten years ago.

The current Queen Fang has only one daughter, Princess Qinghe, whose fief is in Qinghe. She went to the fiefdom with her husband a few years ago and can only come back once every two or three years.

Queen Fang was a kind person who would not easily get angry with others. She also loved Lu Jingning very much and would summon her to Fengqi Palace from time to time.

"Aning, I heard that the prince's shipwreck is unaccounted for. You and your mother should be prepared." Queen Fang's eyes were red, and she sobbed as she pulled Lu Jingning, "It is God's blessing that the prince has returned. If he doesn't come back, the position of crown prince will definitely change hands."

Lu Jingning pretended to be confused and looked at Queen Fang: "Queen, Aning doesn't understand government affairs. She just wants to take care of her mother and live a good life. As for her father, Aning knows what's going on."

Queen Fang hesitated to speak, and her words of consolation turned into a sigh, and she began to teach Lu Jingning some things about the harem.

This study takes an entire afternoon.

It was already evening when we came out of Fengqi Palace.

Walking in the corridor, her steps were unusually heavy. Countless possibilities went through her mind. She didn't want to deceive herself. If her father really couldn't come back, what should she do?

When I returned to the East Palace, I looked up and saw Xue Yuan standing in the corridor.

Lu Jingning suddenly stopped and said to Yun Zai, "No need to serve you today, everyone leave."

"Yes."

After everyone left, Lu Jingning stared at Xue Yuan and asked, "What happened?"

Xue Yuan stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "In reply to the princess, I have never seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The route I took was the route that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must take, but I don't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince chose to take a boat. When I caught up with him, I saw that the boat had sunk..."

"What did you say?" Lu Jingning's body shook suddenly, his throat tightened, and he didn't know what to ask.

Xue Yuan said, "Princess, I am sure that Your Highness is on that boat. The current was so strong that the boat sank and no one climbed out. Later, I went downstream to look for any traces of him, but the boat had already been damaged.

, the wreckage was all over the ground, and there was no sign of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. "

Lu Jingning was a little restless, she sat down on a stone bench beside her with a limp body, feeling a chill in her heart.

"But I found a few suspicious people downstream."

Lu Jingning raised his head, staring at Xue Yuan with red eyes: "Who is it?"

"They are guards of the Helian family, disguised as local people."

Helian?

Isn’t that the Princess of Shen County!

Lu Jingning took a deep breath. She was a little annoyed at her own cowardice and incompetence. She was reborn, but she had to watch the enemy jumping around in front of her and harm her father.

She clenched her fists, hatred rising in her heart.

sleepless night

The next morning, Lu Jingning went to visit Shangguan first. Shangguan was stronger than she had imagined. She had thick makeup under her eyes to hide her fatigue and dark blue color.

The mother and daughter had a simple breakfast, and then Lu Jingning went to Fengqi Palace. When passing by the Imperial Garden, he saw Helian accompanying Concubine Tong for a walk in the garden.

"Sister Yan is not young anymore, and they were planning to get married, but who would have thought that the Crown Prince's incident would have delayed the wedding..." Helian complained, and when she turned the corner in the corridor, she saw Lu Jingning standing opposite her.

Concubine Tong followed the line of sight, and the smile on her face instantly faded.

If Lu Jingning hadn't been making trouble, she wouldn't have been demoted from Concubine Jin Shu to Concubine Tong, and her house arrest was only lifted yesterday.

“Fenghe, don’t be too sad. Everyone has their own destiny. Some people just died early.” Concubine Tong let go of Helian’s hand and walked towards Lu Jingning with a smile on her face: “It’s a pity that you have lost your father’s protection and you and your mother are all alone…”

"Princess, why don't you know how to behave politely when meeting Concubine Tong? Is this how the Crown Princess taught you the rules?" Helian also followed suit and scolded.

The two of them didn't take Lu Jingning seriously at all.

Lu Jingning smiled and ordered Xue Yuan, "Slap her!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Yuan quickly slapped the two of them in the face.

The bows were fired left and right, making snapping sounds.

"what!"

Screams cut through the air.

This went on for more than ten times until Lu Jingning called for a stop, and Xue Yuan withdrew her hand and retreated behind her.

Everyone was stunned by this scene.

"Lu Jingning!" Concubine Tong covered her face, her eyes burning with anger, wishing she could strangle her to death: "Are you crazy? How dare you attack me? Someone, teach this ignorant girl a lesson."

Lu Jingning raised his chin, walked towards Concubine Tong, and then slapped her in the face without any hesitation in front of everyone.

"Princess Tong, you are so bold that you dare to disobey your superiors and slander me. Today, I will teach you the rules of the Six Palaces!"
