His innermost thoughts were revealed, and he ventured into a fictional dynasty with the system.

Ning Jun and Ning Yu indeed fell for the trap. In an instant, it was as if someone had pressed the silencing button. Their mouths opened and closed a few times, but they managed to swallow back the arguments that were about to come out.

She looked at the emperor with anxious and confused eyes, her expression one of utter distress.

They looked like two greedy kittens, their eyes fixed on the fresh fish on the plate, when someone intercepted their food halfway through, making them so anxious that they almost scratched the ground with their paws.

Seeing that the time was right, the Emperor's lips curled up slightly, forming a faint smile. He no longer hesitated, casually placing his hands on the armrests of the dragon throne and leaning forward slightly.

He continued unhurriedly, "To tell you the truth, although the girl from the Qin family has no one in her heart, she is fond of a charming and gentle woman."

She had no romantic feelings for the man whatsoever, a fact that was common knowledge in the court.

The two imperial brothers have no daughters, so they're unlikely to catch the eye of the Qin family's maids.

The words fell like a heavy hammer blow, and Ning Jun and Ning Yu were stunned into silence, as if struck by a muffled thunderclap.

His face displayed a variety of expressions, including astonishment, realization, and a hint of barely concealed annoyance.

Stunned by Qin Qianluo's unexpected preference, he suddenly realized that his argument had been a complete waste of effort, and he was annoyed that he had acted rashly and rushed to fight without understanding the situation.

The Emperor took in their awkward situation, his lips curled into a wide smile, and he let out a series of unrestrained, hearty laughs that made his body tremble slightly, and the hem of his dragon robe flutter.

These two argued pointlessly, their mouths dry and spittle flying, creating such a huge misunderstanding, making them impatiently start arguing before they could even finish speaking.

Don't think he couldn't see through their scheme; they were both plotting to kidnap the Qin family's little girl. But how could he possibly grant their wish?

Without this quirky girl stirring things up in the court, all those novelties and surprising remarks will disappear, and he will miss out on so much novelty and fun.

Ning Shuyao was watching the farce with great interest when she suddenly heard such a shocking piece of news.

A moment of stunned silence flashed across her delicate face, like a pebble suddenly breaking the tranquility of a calm lake.

She blinked her beautiful eyes, subconsciously raised her hand to gently touch her chest, and it took her a while to fully realize what had happened.

Turning his head, he slowly glanced at Crown Prince Ning Chenyi and Second Prince Ning Chenyu standing beside him, noticing that neither of them showed any surprise.

Instead, they met their probing gazes with calm and certainty, nodding as if the matter was already an open secret and they were merely those in the know.

Seeing this, Ning Shuyao's lips involuntarily curled up slightly, forming an interesting arc, and a hint of a smile appeared in her eyes.

He thought to himself: This Qin Qianluo is really an unpredictable and unexpected little girl!

She acts completely unconventionally, and her ideas are wildly imaginative, quite unlike the proper young ladies of noble families in the capital. Interesting, truly fascinating.

Looking at Ning Jun and Ning Yu, their faces were flushed red, like ripe tomatoes, filled with regret and shame.

Ning Jun clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white, inwardly cursing himself: I'm really getting worse as I get older, how can I be so impatient!

Why did you rush into arguing for so long before the Emperor could finish speaking? Now look what you've done, you've embarrassed yourself in front of the Emperor.

He had no idea how long the Emperor would tease and make fun of him, and he had no way to save face.

Ning Jun, being a seasoned and decisive man, took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed his shame and anger, and was the first to regain his composure.

Unwilling to linger here a moment longer, he stepped forward, bowed respectfully to the Emperor, his voice trembling slightly, and quietly took his leave.

Before leaving, he reached out and grabbed the information about the female swindler in the mansion from the table, his movements somewhat hurried.

As if trying to conceal his inner panic, he strode out.

All the way, he kept thinking about how to deal with the woman and his eldest son when he got back home, so that he could get rid of this bad luck.

Ning Yu wasn't much better off. He secretly glanced at the sky, where the sunlight was already quite glaring, as if it were mocking his loss of composure today.

He gritted his teeth, pressed his tongue against his cheek, and secretly groaned. His expression kept changing. In the end, he stepped forward, bowed, and hurriedly took his leave as if fleeing.

Back then, when they avoided the struggle for the throne, they occasionally felt a little smug about how they managed to keep up appearances in front of the emperor.

He acts freely and unrestrainedly, and occasionally even teases the emperor, showing the intimacy between brothers.

Now that this farce has come to an end, all that pride and smugness has vanished like a dream, leaving only embarrassment and regret, making one wish they could disappear into a crack in the ground.

In the imperial study, the emperor watched the two figures slink away, and then his hearty, unrestrained laughter suddenly rang out, carrying far and wide through the doors and windows.

The guards on the palace road and the passing eunuchs, anyone who heard this, could clearly tell that their emperor was in a very good mood at the moment.

The laughter seemed to shatter the silence of the palace, and it didn't stop for a long time.

Qin Qianlu was completely unaware of this little incident. Even if she had overheard it by chance, she probably wouldn't have commented on it much, at most silently complaining to herself.

After all, I'm still a child myself. Who would be in such a hurry to arrange a marriage for a child?

Others may not know what her parents are thinking, but she is very certain that her parents love her too much to do such a ridiculous thing.

Furthermore, ever since the Emperor received the paper she had secretly given to his father, which discussed the dangers of early marriage, he was greatly alarmed.

After careful consideration and discussion, the relevant laws were indeed amended to explicitly prohibit marriage and childbirth for those under the age of eighteen.

This was incredibly good news for Qin Qianluo; for at least the next six years, she would be free from this kind of pressure.

I can live a carefree life for many more years. Just thinking about it makes me feel that life is bright and pleasant.

Time flies like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, it's the day before New Year's Day.

Throughout the court, the officials were all subtly excited. After today, they would have a seven-day holiday, although they would have to enter the palace on the first day of the month to attend the palace banquet and sacrificial ceremony.

But for the next few days, she was able to relax at home without the burden of official duties or the constraints of court meetings. Just thinking about it made Qin Qianlu feel as light as if she could fly.

She hummed a tuneless little tune, skipped and hopped to her spot, her eyes crinkling with laughter and her face beaming with joy.

She would occasionally tiptoe, looking left and right, like a nimble little bird, full of anticipation for the upcoming holiday.

Before long, the officials filed in one after another, and the court gradually became lively.

In the past few days, the two princes and the eldest princess have been attending the morning court with the officials. It's obvious to everyone that they are here for Qin Qianluo.

Although the two princes now know that their youngest son could never have abducted Qin Qianluo and brought her home, it does not stop them from liking this clever and mischievous little girl from the bottom of their hearts.

Just looking at Qin Qianluo's bright and beautiful appearance and her lively and playful personality is enough to make her pleasing to the eye and worthy of people's affection.

During the few days of attending the morning court, the two princes and the eldest princess had their eyes opened and saw many novel things, especially those called "TV dramas".

The plot is full of twists and turns, with each element intricately linked, and the characters' clothing and accessories are exquisite and beautiful.

Although she was sometimes dressed rather lightly, it did not diminish the viewing experience at all, making it impossible to put down.

After everyone stood still and paid their respects, the morning court session officially began. The eyes of the two princes and the eldest princess were drawn to Qin Qianluo as if by a magnet.

I was secretly looking forward to it: I wonder what new and interesting TV series this girl will release today?

Qin Qianluo was completely unaware of the little secrets between the group. She had been watching TV dramas all day these past few days, and even with her boundless energy, she felt a bit tired, so she decided to take a break today.

His gaze swept casually across the room and landed on Princess Ning Shuyao, who was dressed in her finest attire.

Today, the eldest princess is like a fairy who has stepped out of an ancient palace painting, wearing a gorgeous dress made of the finest Yun brocade.

The material feels warm and smooth to the touch, with a soft, lustrous sheen, like a flowing galaxy.

The garment is embroidered with gold and silver threads, the gold threads being fine and tight, weaving a lifelike dragon and phoenix motif.

The phoenix flaps its wings as if about to take flight, its body covered in vibrant and lively flame patterns that seem to scorch the eyes.

The giant dragon coiled and spun, its scales gleaming with a cold light, displaying its majestic royal authority.

Silver lines outline the continuous clouds and flowers, interspersed among them, making the whole pattern distinct and magnificent.

At the neckline, a circle of tiny pearls encircles the neckline, each one round and full, with a lustrous color and uniform size, as if they were made by the same craftsman.

It reflects a warm, lustrous light under the sunlight, making the neck appear even longer and whiter.

The sleeves are wide and flowing, covered with layers of thin gauze embroidered with delicate ruyi patterns. With every gesture, the gauze flutters in the wind, creating a dreamlike scene.

A seven-jeweled glass belt was tied around her waist. The glass was clear and translucent, with colorful and dazzling gemstones embedded inside.

The rubies were fiery and passionate, the sapphires were deep and profound, and the emeralds were warm and elegant. As the princess moved around, they collided with each other, producing a crisp and melodious tinkling sound.

Looking at the princess's face again, her skin was like fine jade, delicate and smooth, without the slightest blemish.

Her eyebrows, like distant mountains, were slightly upturned, exuding an innate nobility and sharpness.

Her eyes were long and narrow, like a pool of autumn water, clear yet containing a profound depth that had seen the world. With every glance, she exuded charm and allure.

Her nose was high and straight, like a jade peak standing tall; her lips were like cherries, naturally red without any makeup, and now, with her lips slightly pursed, she looked even more dignified.

Her black hair was styled into an elaborate Lingyun bun, adorned with various gold hairpins and hair ornaments, the gold hairpins being carved with dragons and phoenixes, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship.

The hair ornaments, adorned with strings of pearls and jade, swayed gently with her movements, making a soft, tinkling sound, like silver bells tinkling in the wind. She was truly radiant, noble, and graceful.

Qin Qianlu was stunned for a moment, speechless with amazement.

It took her a while to come to her senses and suddenly she remembered the past that she had always been curious about, namely the time when the eldest princess divorced her husband.

It caused quite a stir at the time, and everyone in the capital knew about it.

Although she was only three or four years old at the time, she occasionally overheard a few words from the idle chatter of the purchasing servants.

I've been so busy watching dramas these past few days that I completely forgot about it. Plus, my memory isn't very good to begin with, so I haven't had a chance to ask 001.

Seeing the princess's graceful appearance, Qin Qianlu had an idea. She decided to take this opportunity to have 001 explain things to her in detail.

Ning Shuyao hadn't expected this either. She had planned to pick up her mother after court, which was why she dressed so formally.

However, this eventually caught Qin Qianluo's attention, and she was about to uncover her past.
