After traveling through time, the adults were completely in my hands

Yue State, in the imperial palace.

Three days later, the prince's wedding ceremony was held as scheduled.

Inside and outside the palace, there were lights and decorations. Civil and military officials had gathered in the hall early, standing in neat rows, ready to welcome the arrival of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess.

Emperor Wu Ren and the Empress sat together on the dragon throne. The Empress had fully recovered now and looked gentle, dignified and graceful.

Concubine Ji and the concubines from various palaces were all sitting at the bottom. At this moment, looking at the Empress sitting next to Emperor Wu Ren, Concubine Ji's eyes were full of jealousy.

That position belongs to me, and I will give you a big gift soon. Concubine Ji placed her hands under the table and clasped them tightly together.

Soon, led by the eunuch, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess slowly walked into the hall.

Today's Crown Prince Jing Yu is wearing a gorgeous robe with dragon pattern, a golden belt around his waist, and a golden crown on his head. He exudes the air of a king, and the symbol of his status is everywhere.

Today's Crown Princess Jing'an is wearing a shawl, a phoenix crown on her head, with beautiful eyebrows, white teeth and a face as rosy as a peach. She is truly stunningly beautiful, like a fairy.

The moment the civil and military officials in the hall saw Princess Jing'an, they were all amazed and praised her beauty highly.

Concubine Ji looked at Princess Jing'an who was walking slowly towards her, and heard the praises of the civil and military officials. For a moment, she was so jealous that she almost went crazy.

Only I am the most beautiful woman in the Kingdom of Dai Viet. No other woman can steal my limelight, Concubine Ji thought hatefully in her heart, looking at Princess Jing'an with eyes that were about to burst into flames!

At this moment, after a series of tedious ceremonies, Jing Yu and Princess Jing'an finally sat down on their seats.

In the main hall, teams of palace maids began to come and go, bringing all kinds of fine wine and delicacies.

All the civil and military officials raised their glasses to congratulate the Crown Prince and Crown Princess on their wedding.

Listening to everyone in the hall complimenting the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, Concubine Ji felt jealousy and hatred burning in her heart like fire.

She thought for a moment, forced a smile, and suddenly said to Emperor Wu Ren: "Your Majesty, I never thought that the Crown Princess would be so beautiful."

"Hahaha!" Emperor Wu Ren laughed and said, "I have always felt that my beloved concubine's beauty is rare in the world, but today the Crown Princess's appearance is even better than my beloved concubine's."

It would have been better if Emperor Wu Ren hadn't said this. Once he said this, Concubine Ji became even more furious. Her face was gloomy, and her hands, which were placed under the table, were clenched into fists.

After thinking for a moment, she looked at Princess Jing'an with a forced smile and said, "The Crown Princess is so beautiful and graceful, I believe she is also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. How about you perform a skill for everyone to enjoy?"

As soon as Concubine Ji finished speaking, Jing Yu slammed the table and stood up.

When Imperial Concubine Ji had just discussed Princess Jing'an's appearance, Jing Yu had already been dissatisfied. Now that she was repeatedly provoking the princess, he could no longer tolerate it. He slammed the table, stood up, and said coldly to Imperial Concubine Ji, "Your Highness, by saying this, could it be that you want the Crown Princess to perform for everyone at the wedding ceremony?"

"Your Highness, please calm down. We dare not..." When the ministers in the hall saw that the prince was angry, they were so scared that they stood up and bowed and shook their heads.

"Your Majesty, I have no such intention." Upon seeing this, Concubine Ji quickly stood up, walked to the center of the hall, and knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, I just wanted the Crown Princess to demonstrate her skills. I have no other intentions."

"Noble Concubine Ji, what you just said clearly showed contempt for the Crown Princess and your intention to embarrass her in public." At this moment, the Empress also began to reprimand Noble Concubine Ji, "Such ill intentions are simply unforgivable!"

"Your Majesty, I don't have any." Concubine Ji looked at Emperor Wu Ren with her beautiful eyes, and said tearfully, "When I saw the Crown Princess today, I felt so happy. I thought the Crown Princess must be both talented and beautiful, so I didn't give it any thought. I said this unintentionally!"

"Forget it, forget it," Emperor Wu Ren waved his hand and said to calm things down: "Today is the wedding of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, so let's not dwell on these words too much. My dear ministers, please sit down quickly and have a few more drinks together."

When the ministers heard Emperor Wu Ren speak, they all sat down again.

Jing Yu had already thought that his father would definitely favor Concubine Ji, so he sat down again without saying a word.

Concubine Ji also returned to her seat and sat down, her hatred for the Crown Prince and his wife increasing a little.

Late at night, in Concubine Ji's palace, when the masked man came back in, Concubine Ji immediately shouted at him with a scowl on her face, "Didn't you tell me that you had already taken action against that old man? But I saw him today and he's in good health. What you said last time was just a lie to me!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. How dare I deceive you?" The masked man saw that Concubine Ji was angry and quickly swore, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Within three to five days, the Emperor's body will show symptoms, and it won't be long before he dies."

"I asked you to go faster." Thinking of the scene during the day, Concubine Ji felt furious. Ever since the Queen Mother recovered, she and the Crown Prince have been working together to suppress her, causing her to lose face in public many times.

"After that old guy dies, we will take advantage of the chaos to get rid of the Queen and her family of three!" Concubine Ji looked at the masked man and said hatefully.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. We must cut the grass at its roots. As soon as that old man dies, I will find a way to take the lives of the three of them as soon as possible!" said the masked man.

"Okay." Concubine Ji nodded. When she thought of the Crown Princess's beautiful face that was about to disappear completely from her sight, she suddenly felt relaxed all over.

"Remember, the prince must not be aware of this," Concubine Ji warned the masked man.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty," the masked man said confidently, "I guarantee that even a deity would find it difficult to detect these symptoms."

Having said that, the masked man saw that Concubine Ji's expression had eased, so he looked her up and down greedily and slowly moved his face closer.

"Hurry up and leave!" Concubine Ji saw the masked man approaching and immediately took a step back in disgust, scolding him, "This is such a critical moment, and you are still so careless. If the prince finds out now, all your efforts will be wasted. Go back now, otherwise it will arouse suspicion if you stay too long."

"Then... I'll leave first." The masked man looked at Concubine Ji unwillingly, turned around and left through the window.

Seeing that the masked man had disappeared, Concubine Ji slowly sat down on the chair and began to plan again.
