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

Just as the emperor was complaining, the eldest princess also entered the palace. The siblings were reunited after a long separation, and the festive atmosphere of the New Year's Day filled the air.

It added a touch of warmth to the cold winter month, allowing the family to finally sit together and enjoy a reunion. The group sat around, chatting endlessly about everyday life.

The princess recounted the strange tales and exotic customs of her travels, leaving her brothers speechless with amazement and bursting into laughter.

The atmosphere inside the hall instantly became warm and cheerful, with everyone's eyes filled with the joy and intimacy of a long-awaited reunion.

During the conversation, the princess was relaxed and carefree, her eyebrows slightly raised, showing her unrestrained and free spirit. Her beautiful eyes were slightly narrowed, full of amusement, and she occasionally raised her eyebrows, revealing her playful side.

When listening to his elder brother, the Emperor, recount amusing anecdotes from the court, he would tilt his head, rest his chin on his hand, and gaze intently. Upon hearing a particularly interesting part, his eyes would light up, and he would burst into unrestrained laughter.

Her silvery laughter was clear and melodious, capable of dispelling all gloom in the surroundings.

But if she encounters something she dislikes, her eyebrows furrow slightly, her eyes instantly turn as cold as frost, her thin lips purse, and she exudes an aura that is not to be trifled with, making people dare not utter another word.

After chatting with her brothers for a while, she skillfully made her way through the winding corridors towards the inner palace to find her sister-in-law.

This eldest princess was free-spirited and unrestrained, and her decision to divorce her husband caused a great uproar throughout the city.

But she never wavered in the slightest, and from then on, she completely gave up the idea of ​​remarrying.

During her years of solitude, she packed her bags and traveled to famous mountains and rivers, explored the everyday life of ordinary people, visited historical sites, tasted delicious food, and made close friends, taking in all aspects of life.

His heart was filled with freedom, and he never felt a ripple for anyone else.

Normally, the hustle and bustle of the capital city is irrelevant to her, and she is rarely seen on the streets.

Only during festivals and holidays, when they think of the deep bond of blood, will they return to this familiar yet unfamiliar palace to reminisce with their loved ones and enjoy family time together.

Both princes were free-spirited and unconventional, with an inherent unwillingness to be restrained.

In their early years, the two grew tired of the tedious rules and lengthy social engagements in the capital. Seeing that the late emperor was not in good health, they hit it off and made the bold move of "running away".

He claimed to be guarding the frontier, but in reality, he disguised himself and plunged into the world of martial arts, traveling freely.

During those days, they visited famous mountains, paid homage to hermits, and befriended heroes from all walks of life, living a carefree and joyful life, completely disregarding palace etiquette and seeking only a life of leisure and freedom.

The late emperor's descendants were not numerous to begin with, and after years of power struggles, illnesses, and disasters, only four of them remain alive today.

Although kinship in imperial families is often diluted by power, these four were different. They played and studied together since childhood, and their friendship was as solid as a rock, without any suspicion or distrust.

Upon learning of what the Prince Xian had done, the two princes were furious and slammed their fists on the table.

In their hearts, the emperor was not only the ruler of the world, but also their younger brother who had followed them since childhood and called them elder brother. How could they allow others to bully or scheme against him?

Fortunately, the court was united, the turmoil gradually subsided, and everything returned to normal.

Over the years, the Emperor has devoted himself to governing the country with great effort and diligence, working tirelessly day and night.

Domestically, new policies were implemented, taxes were reduced, and the people lived in peace and prosperity. Externally, the military was strengthened and capable generals were appointed, resulting in high morale among the troops.

This year, they won a brilliant victory, successfully expanding their territory and making the Tianxuan Dynasty famous far and wide, with its national strength at its zenith.

The two princes, seeing this, were overjoyed. Already filled with enthusiasm, they were now even more eager to help, secretly vowing to do everything in their power to relieve the emperor's worries and expand the territory.

The night was as dark as ink, but the palace was brightly lit. In the imperial study, candlelight flickered, casting shadows on the carved window frames.

Outside the window, a cold wind blew, rustling the bare branches and adding a touch of tranquility to the quiet conversation.

The three sat around a table, the aroma of tea wafting through the air. They talked at length, discussing everything from military defenses to people's livelihoods and water conservancy, down to the smallest detail, until the moon was high in the sky. When weariness set in, they each took their sedan chairs back to their residences to rest.

On the road leading to the capital, the person they heard most often was the newly conferred Princess Qingyun.

Rumors circulated in the streets and alleys. Some said she was both beautiful and talented, proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Others said she was exceptionally courageous, having once infiltrated enemy territory alone to deliver a message to Tianxuan.

Some people even embellished the story, praising Princess Qingyun as if she were a celestial being descended to earth or a heroine reincarnated.

The two princes were naturally curious, and these rumors made them even more eager to find out more. However, when they inquired with the Emperor, he simply smiled faintly and remained silent, refusing to reveal a single unnecessary word.

Helpless, the two could only hope that they could meet the legendary Princess Qingyun at the morning court the next day and find out more about her.

The next morning, as dawn broke and the thick, inky darkness faded, the east began to lighten, and a thin morning mist swirled around the majestic palace walls like a veil.

It lends a sense of ethereal beauty to the vermilion palace walls and golden glazed tiles, creating a scene that is both real and illusory, as if a fairyland and the mortal world quietly blend together here.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony stands solemnly and majestically. Outside the hall, the white marble steps gleam and shimmer in the morning light, while the bronze lions on either side stand imposingly, each holding a bronze ball in its mouth, seemingly guarding the dignity of the imperial court.

Below the steps, the imperial path was paved with gold bricks, reflecting the blazing sunlight. Court officials, dressed in their court robes, filed in and stood in neat rows according to their rank.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" A thunderous roar of salutes erupted as everyone bowed, their foreheads lightly touching the ground, remaining motionless for a long time.

After bowing to the assembled officials, Qin Qianluo quietly raised her eyes and glanced at the two princes and the eldest princess before the emperor.

The good looks of the group stunned her—the War King was dressed in a black brocade robe, his posture was as upright as a pine tree, his eyebrows were like swords and his eyes were like stars, his eyes were deep as if they contained an endless galaxy, and his every move exuded a heroic and domineering aura.

Prince Xin was dressed in a moon-white robe, his face was gentle and refined, his eyes were smiling, and he exuded an air of elegance and charm.

Looking at the eldest princess, she wore a phoenix-patterned robe and a pearl-embroidered phoenix crown. Her bright face resembled a blooming peony, exuding nobility, elegance, and grace.

Qin Qianluo stared intently. The royal genes were truly exceptional. The three of them standing there looked so beautiful, like a painting.

Looking at the Emperor again, she couldn't help but complain to 001, "Judging from this, it seems only the Emperor is the least handsome. Look at the two princes and the eldest princess, they're all so good-looking, a real treat for the eyes."

001, seeing the three through the light screen, agreed, "Indeed, the Emperor's looks are the worst. I wonder whose looks he inherited from."

Upon hearing this heartfelt message, the ministers who were in the middle of a meeting lowered their voices, fearing that the emperor would be angry and take it out on them.

After all, the Emperor wouldn't do anything to Princess Qingyun, but they weren't so lucky.

The emperor at the head of the table, whose face had been smiling, gradually froze. He looked at the three shocked people below him and felt indignant. He wasn't that bad, was he? How could he be so disliked by the little girl from the Qin family?

The three stunned people looked at each other, and saw shock in each other's eyes. They wondered which courtier was so bold as to openly comment on the emperor's appearance.

Although they were very happy, they glanced at the Emperor's expression and, to their own good, refrained from laughing.

She was also puzzled. The emperor had heard these words, but he only changed his expression and did not show any anger.

It seems that the courtier who spoke was extremely favored, but there were no children in the palace, so why was there a child's voice?

The three of them were naturally unaware of the helplessness and frustration the Emperor was feeling at that moment, and they could not have imagined that he had already developed extraordinary patience through Qin Qianluo's "heartfelt words".

Looking back, emperors, sitting high in the court, always kept their emotions hidden, and every word, action, and gesture exuded an awe-inspiring majesty.

It was as if he was wrapped in a layer of cold, heavy armor, locking all his emotions inside, so that no one else could peek at them.

But everything changed the moment Qin Qianluo entered the court. It was as if a boulder had been thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples and breaking the tranquility and order of the past.

That girl was born with a quirky and mischievous personality; her thoughts were like wild grass growing rampant in spring, constantly swirling and racing.

When others went to court, they were all trembling with fear, keeping their eyes down and not daring to breathe loudly.

She, on the other hand, would secretly evaluate the Emperor from head to toe, inside and out, every few days, using bold and straightforward language and wildly imaginative ideas.

Back then, when the emperor suddenly heard Xin Sheng's complaints, even with his excellent self-control, he almost lost his composure.

But over time, after hearing it so many times, it's like being repeatedly sanded by sandpaper; you gradually become desensitized, and in the end, you just treat it as a harmless breeze blowing past your ear, going in one ear and out the other.

Moreover, ever since that girl entered the court, every single thing she has presented has been something truly beneficial to the country and its people. Her tangible achievements are impossible for anyone to ignore.

Take the new agricultural machinery, for example. Once it was promoted, farmland that used to require a lot of effort and time to cultivate can now be plowed with the help of this "magical tool," and even fewer oxen are needed.

With the emergence of high-yield and improved varieties, grain production has soared, and people can't stop smiling as they look at the full ears of grain during the autumn harvest.

There are also papermaking, movable type printing, underfloor heating, cotton clothing, and so on. Including the downfall of the Xuanyuan clan, if it weren't for that girl's extreme aversion to promotion, she would have been made a marquis and prime minister long ago.

Faced with such a "lucky star" who was a treasure trove of talents, even though the emperor was full of helplessness, he really couldn't bear to say a single harsh word.

After wearing a dignified mask for so long, one can only helplessly break down when faced with a "mischievous little devil" like Qin Qianluo.

Looking at his elder brother and sister again, he saw that the two brothers were imposing and dignified, with their sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes revealing a bold and unrestrained spirit, and their every move exuding royal demeanor.

The younger sister was even more beautiful and charming, with a face like a peach blossom, smiling eyes, and an air of nobility about her that was like a flowing galaxy, dazzling and eye-catching.

Even though I was unwilling to admit it, I had to admire them. These three people looked like they had stepped out of a painting, each one more outstanding than the last.

In comparison, my appearance is indeed somewhat inferior.

However, he secretly thought to himself, although it couldn't compare, it wasn't that bad, was it? After all, it was still an emperor.

Although his appearance was not as striking as others, he still possessed the necessary bearing, and the aura of a ruler emanating from him was something that others could not imitate.

Crown Prince Ning Chenyi and Second Prince Ning Chenyu were so embarrassed by their laughter that their faces turned red and their shoulders trembled slightly, almost causing them to break down.

Standing close together, they could see their father's every move clearly. They knew perfectly well that ever since Qingyun started attending court, the morning court session had completely gone astray.
