Imperial Study~

A bright yellow figure was sitting upright on a cage chair. A middle-aged man with an old figure was sitting on the dragon chair, reading the memorials with a sharp gaze.

But he seemed a little hesitant, as if he was troubled by something.

At this time, Chu Junye had already arrived at the imperial study and bowed before the emperor, saying, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father!"

The emperor put down the pen in his hand, looked at Chu Junye, and said slowly: "Now that you are here, you can bring your new princess to pay homage to your mother. Seeing that you two treat each other with respect, I am relieved."

Chu Junye thought to himself, Yi Duoer was right. A lot of people were still paying attention to this newlywed couple. If anything happened to Yi Duoer, it would probably be bad for him.

He replied respectfully, "Yes, it is my fault that you have caused Your Majesty to worry. I wonder what important matter has Your Majesty summoned me for?"

The Emperor! He asked the old eunuch beside him to pass the letter to him. After reading the letter, Chu Junye was slightly surprised and asked:

"Father! Is the Imperial Uncle going back to the capital?"

The emperor nodded. His seventeenth brother was more than twenty years younger than him. He was the son of the late emperor's beautiful wife and was a man of both civil and military talents.

He was sent to the mountains by the late queen to learn martial arts since he was a child. He came down from the mountains at the age of nineteen and became the regent of the Great Qi Dynasty. He defended his country and led his troops to fight without a single defeat. In just a few years, he expanded countless cities for the Qi Dynasty.

Not only does he hold a large army, he is also deeply loved by the people! Although he has made great contributions to the Qi Dynasty, it is as easy as taking something from his pocket for him to get the throne, but precisely because of this, he is wary!

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, before his father died, he asked him to swear that he would never be an emperor in the future. When the emperor thought of this, his face was still full of joy. This is an emperor, who never shows his emotions!

"Yes, your uncle is already on his way back to the capital and will be arriving soon. You are fully responsible for the reception!"

Chu Junye respectfully accepted the task, and when the discussion was almost over, the emperor asked him to leave and pay his respects to his mother.

Outside the Yongshou Palace,

Yi Duoer had already walked to the outside of the palace gate, sighing that it was worthy of being the palace where the emperor's favorite concubine lived, with red walls and green tiles, and even the gate was so magnificent. The leading palace maid asked Yi Duoer to wait outside the door and sent her in to pass on the message.

Inside the palace, a middle-aged woman sat at a precious desk, writing calligraphy with a brush! Her every move exuded elegance and grace, her demeanor dignified and regal.

The leading maid walked outside and replied respectfully, "Your Highness, Princess Ye is now outside the palace gate."

But Concubine Ye in the room ignored her and continued writing. The senior palace maid beside her understood and walked out of the room.

He scolded: "Stupid thing, don't you see that the queen is busy? Let the one outside wait outside first."

The leading palace maid replied timidly, "Yes!"

After a while,

Seeing that no one had taken her in, Yi Duoer knew in her heart that Concubine Ye was deliberately embarrassing her! After all, she was not her daughter-in-law, so there was no need for her to follow her rules here!

So he said to the palace maid beside him, "Since your queen is busy, I won't disturb her. Bye!"

After saying that, he turned and left, which made the several palace maids around him unable to deal with it. They looked at each other.

Who knew that Yi Duoer had only taken a few steps when two women came towards her, followed by four palace maids!

The two women, one in a green palace dress, and the other in a pink long skirt! Both women were of superior appearance.

The woman in the pink dress looks even more charming, with long black hair like a waterfall, red lips like cherries, eyebrows as clear as willow leaves, eyes as sad as autumn water, a few tears on her rosy cheeks, and a slender waist.

When people see her, they all have the urge to protect her!

Yi Duoer didn't know them and didn't want to say hello. Her woman's sixth sense told her that these two women hated her, especially the one in the pink dress.

When Yi Duoer was about to leave, she was stopped by the woman in the green dress.

"You're not polite when you see me, the princess? Are you blind or do you have no manners?"

At this time, the palace maid standing beside Yi Duo'er was still kind, so she kindly reminded her: "This is the current ninth princess, Chu Roujia, born to Concubine Ye, and the emperor's most beloved princess! She is also the third prince's biological sister!"

"And the other woman is the Prime Minister's daughter—Zhu Qingxue!"

Yi Duoer also cast a friendly look towards the palace maid.

It turns out that she is Chu Junye's white moonlight. It is indeed pitiful. No wonder Chu Junye has been thinking about her for so long. Yi Duoer retorted disdainfully.

"The Ninth Princess keeps saying that the Imperial Palace places the utmost importance on etiquette and rules. But do you follow the rules? When you saw me, you didn't even greet me with formalities, and you even spoke harshly to me! You don't behave like a princess, you really deserve a beating!"

The Ninth Princess did not expect that Yi Duoer would dare to refute her words. From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this, so she was outspoken and said directly:

"Who do you think you are? You're the daughter of a minor official, and you dare to speak to me like that? And you even let me bow to you! You, a fool, stole my sister Xue'er's marriage. My brother loves Sister Xue'er the most. My only sister-in-law is Sister Xue'er!"

After she finished her last sentence, Zhu Qingxue said softly, "Ninth Princess, please stop talking like that! It's me and His Highness the Night King that are not meant to be together in this life! I don't blame anyone else!"

Yi Duo'er finally saw what a real green tea was. Zhu Qingxue waited until the Ninth Princess finished speaking before speaking out to stop her. She described herself as so pathetic, yet she acted so magnanimous.

Yi Duo'er didn't want to give her any slack, so she started to confront her directly. "Zhu Qingxue, this princess wants to thank you! Thank you for meeting my prince in the middle of the night on my behalf. Thank you for serving my prince! You've caused my young master so much worry. Don't worry, when the time comes, I will definitely make the prince take you in as his concubine!"

As soon as the words came out, the people present began to despise her, but they only dared to keep it in their hearts and not show it out. Zhu Qingxue was embarrassed and angry by her words. Although the prince came to the mansion to look for her several times at night, he didn't do anything out of line!

"Sister Duo'er, wuwuwu..., don't talk nonsense! It's okay if you hurt me with your words, at worst I can become a nun! I know Sister Duo'er is angry, whether it's a beating or a punishment, Xue'er will accept it. But sister, you can't destroy my innocence,

You are secretly making up stories about the prince! This is also a crime of disrespect!"

Her voice was gentle and tearful, she was really scheming. She had already suffered a lot for having an affair with a man outside her family!

Unexpectedly, a few light words successfully resolved the issue, and the spearhead was directed at me again.

The Ninth Princess was also successfully misled by her and started yelling at Yi Duoer. Yi Duoer ignored her and directly responded to Zhu Qingxue.

"Oh...don't call me sister. I can tell from your face that you are older than me! If you call me sister, I will have nightmares at night!"

Zhu Qingxue's face turned blue and purple with anger. How dare she say that she was old? For a moment, she couldn't refute anything.
