The cannon fodder heiress trembled with fear after being recognized as a member of her family.

Empress Dowager Liu, dressed in a phoenix robe and wearing a ruby ​​phoenix crown, straightened her back and took her place.

He exuded an imposing aura that overshadowed Empress Yang.

Everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere began to become awkward.

Everyone present knew what had happened back then. The Empress Dowager Liu's sudden return was anyone's idea.

Those present dared not look directly at them, only glancing at the two most distinguished women out of the corner of their eyes.

Empress Yang maintained her usual demeanor, dignified and poised, with a gentle smile on her face, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, and it looked fake no matter how you looked at it.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat on either side of Emperor Chu Yuan. Empress Dowager Liu merely glanced at Empress Yang's side before taking Liu Min to sit on the other side of Emperor Chu Yuan.

"Which family's daughter is accompanying the Empress Dowager?"

Some people have already noticed the young women around Empress Dowager Liu.

You can't ignore it; the moment this girl came out, she drew everyone's attention. The only one who could rival her was Han Cuiyin when she entered; both of them were the center of attention.

It's just that one person is in heaven, and the other is on earth.

One is breathtakingly beautiful, the other is ridiculously ugly.

Han Cuiyin withdrew her gaze, already knowing who Liu Min had seen at Qingyi Courtyard.

Although the princes were amazed by Liu Min's beauty, they only glanced at her a few times before looking away.

None of the children who grew up in the palace were stupid, let alone these princes.

They are all sons of the emperor; who would want to be subordinate to someone else?

Anyone who even remotely coveted that position wouldn't consider Liu Min.

Liu Min came from the Liu family, the Empress Dowager's maternal family. If the descendants of the Liu family had been more ambitious, things wouldn't be like they are now.

Empress Dowager Liu was a girl from a commoner family who gained favor by chance. Even when she was a concubine in the late empress's palace, she was unable to rise to prominence.

The Liu family only relied on Empress Dowager Liu's prestige to do some business, and the Liu family did not have to worry about money.

The princes naturally looked down on the Liu family.

Entering their inner quarters would be easy, but for the Liu family, it would be as difficult as climbing to the heavens.

Empress Dowager Liu had Princess Jialuo bring Liu Min to Empress Yang's presence today, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Empress Yang naturally guessed what she meant, and her smile faltered when she saw Liu Min.

It was only after being neglected that Liu Min heard the words of the palace maids around the Empress that made her decide to take the risk and personally go to Qingyi Courtyard to "accidentally" meet the Fourth Prince.

However, the person they encountered was not the Fourth Prince, but Emperor Chu Yuan.

Liu Min glanced furtively at the seat in the center, only to meet Emperor Chu Yuan's gaze.

The two acted discreetly, so much so that even Empress Yang and Empress Dowager Liu did not notice.

It was only after Han Cuiyin combined what the others had said today with Emperor Chu Yuan's behavior that she became certain that the person in Qingyi Courtyard was Emperor Chu Yuan.

It's a pity that only she knows the brilliance of this drama; the other parties are kept in the dark, only aware of their own side of the story.

Han Cuiyin glanced at Han Yueshi, then looked towards Consort Xu, and couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

Consort Xu really thought Han Yueshi had succeeded; she was incredibly foolish.

You're all quite clever, and you don't hold back when you fight, but unfortunately you can't fight against fate.

The way of Heaven here...tsk tsk, it's very strange. The development of some things is extremely bizarre.

This Liu Min was clearly not destined to marry into the royal family. Originally, she only had a white aura around her, but after visiting Qingyi Courtyard, she changed completely.

The aura around her changed.

It was tinged with purple aura and thus became connected to Emperor Chuyuan.

Han Cuiyin wiped her eyelids again and stopped looking for breath.

The current situation is unsatisfactory to all parties, and Liu Min is probably the only one who gets what she wants.

What Empress Dowager Liu is thinking remains to be seen; the Liu family is her burden. If she had been born into a prominent family, Emperor Chuyuan's ascension to the throne would not have been so difficult, and she would not have been relegated to the rank of concubine while the late emperor was still alive.

Empress Yang and Consort Xu were both losers.

The entry of another person into the palace is something that no one else can compare to.

From now on, the palace will be even more lively.

"What happened? Why are you so happy?"

Han Cuiyin was planning to sneak into the palace to watch plays when she received a telepathic message from Luo Jingqian.

"You...you can transmit your voice now? You just learned it?"

"Yes, my cultivation has advanced another step. A tower has appeared in the Longevity Diagram, containing many ancient texts." Luo Jingqian succinctly recounted the events, his joy evident in his words.

"The Longevity Diagram is truly a miraculous artifact. If used properly, it will eventually break through the shackles of the Leaf Village."

Han Cuiyin was not envious. She had her own opportunities, and some things were best suited to her.

The two chatted casually, and since she really wanted someone to watch the play with, she told Luo Jingqian everything.

She loves eavesdropping and enjoys sharing what she hears with others, even more so if she can exchange information.

After arriving in the Realm of Immortality, she could not eavesdrop at will for hundreds of years, because those cultivators would set up protective shields to prevent people from eavesdropping and spying. Only when her cultivation reached the top level in the Realm of Immortality did her happiness return.

"Changshou is not a promiscuous person. He is destined to be with Miss Qi and will definitely treat her well."

Luo Jingqian spoke well of the Fourth Prince, never expecting her to have such a lively side.

"They are indeed destined to be together. Sister Yuejiao probably doesn't know that the Fourth Prince is her savior."

The two stopped communicating telepathically only after Xu Xutianyun and Mo Changdao appeared.

These two imperial advisors are not people who seek fame and fortune; they possess genuine skills, and even the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy can easily attract their attention.

Unbeknownst to them, Han Yueshi had already noticed something was amiss.

Before Lianyao left the capital, he had already led her into the house.

That brat Han Cuiyin is definitely no ordinary person.

In the book, this girl is clearly cannon fodder. How could a native young lady know such tricks? Could she be a time traveler like her?

Han Yueshi was a little unsure at this moment.

Han Cuiyin and the Fourth Prince are the variables.

The Fourth Prince should have died in Pinglianjiang two months ago, and Luo Jingqian was also seriously injured. Why is it different from the book?

She had thought about this matter for a long time, and in the end, the biggest variable was Han Cuiyin's appearance in the Pinglian River area.

Han Yueshi felt a sense of urgency. Judging from what Lian Yao had said, this girl must have been to the Realm of Immortality.

The Realm of Immortality is a true small world for cultivating immortality.

The two of them are mortal enemies, so Han Cuiyin's cultivation level must be quite high.

Getting rid of it isn't that easy.

If there is no spiritual energy here, she will only have a chance to eliminate the variable once the girl's spiritual power is exhausted.

Han Yueshi thought it over and over, and realized that if she was the only one with the cheat code to cultivate, it should be easy to solve.

Han Cuiyin felt a chill run down her spine, a sense of crisis gripping her heart.

Who is trying to get me?

"The envoy from Yun Kingdom has arrived! The Duke of Dingguo has arrived!"

Before she could think any further, the main event of the day was about to begin.
