After my whole family overheard my thoughts, they went berserk.

"Fate isn't something he can change just like that." Mu Xuechuan quickened his pace.

He had already experienced what happened in the Apocalypse Kingdom once before.

He had already realized that as long as he could hold onto every second of his life, everything would be reversed.

"You can start now," Mu Xuechuan ordered coldly.

Mo Ying said, "I will take care of it immediately!"

The palace banquet was still proceeding as scheduled, and the Crown Prince and others returned to their original locations.

The maid beside Zhong Ling reminded her from behind, "Fifth Princess, I think the Crown Prince of Tianqi seems to be the most suitable for you."

But Zhong Ling knew that Tianqi looked down on Xiyue.

And he himself might not even catch Mu Xiuyan's eye.

Her eyes were fixed on Mu Xiuyan, filled with deep longing.

If she could stay in Tianqi and live a peaceful life, her mother could rest in peace in the afterlife.

Inside the Huayao Palace.

Shi Miaomiao burst into tears, and the Emperor rushed over upon hearing the news.

"What happened?" the Emperor asked, holding Shi Miaomiao with heartache.

Shi Youzhi said angrily, "Just now, Princess Yun not only insulted Miaomiao, but also attacked her. If I hadn't arrived in time, Miaomiao would have been seriously injured!"

The Emperor's face was ashen, and he said angrily, "Princess Yun actually injured Miaomiao!"

If it weren't for Bai Yushan's document, he would have treated them more leniently.

Unexpectedly, she became unscrupulous and bullied Miaomiao!

"Bring Princess Yun here, I'll ask her myself!" The Emperor sat down, but his eyes were full of tenderness as he coaxed Shi Miaomiao.

When Consort Rong brought Shi Yunyun over, she saw the Emperor's dark face and quickly bowed to him.

"Your Majesty, I greet you!" She pulled Shi Yunyun along, making her bow.

Shi Yunyun said, "Yun'er greets Father Emperor!"

But the look in her eyes when she looked at Shi Miaomiao was one of utter disdain.

Isn't all she does to play the victim and gain her father's sympathy?

She scoffed!

As a modern person, she has real strength. In her world, those who pretend to be pitiful and weak are the most incompetent!

"I heard you had a fight with the little princess?" the Emperor asked Shi Yunyun.

Shi Yunyun said, "She provoked me first!"

The Emperor asked Shi Miaomiao, "How did you provoke her?"

"I caught her having an affair," Shi Miaomiao said.

Shi Yunyun said, "That was a chance encounter. How can it be considered a meeting with an outsider? It's clearly you who are jealous of me and want to make Father Emperor dislike me, so you deliberately sow discord between us!"

Upon seeing this, Consort Rong subconsciously tugged at her arm.

At such an international palace banquet, it is indeed inappropriate to have one's own contact with a strange man.

In previous years, many palace maids were tricked into going there to learn about the inner workings of the palace.

"Yun'er, say less," Consort Rong advised.

Shi Yunyun retorted, "Why should I say less? She's clearly in the wrong. Father shouldn't have sided with her. Just because someone cries doesn't mean they're right!"

The Emperor disliked Shi Yunyun because she was so proud and had such a strong personality.

"Father, what my sister said is true. When I arrived, I saw her talking to the Crown Prince of Tianqi, and I almost pushed my sister to the ground!"

Shi Youzhi absolutely would not allow anyone to bully his younger sister.

“Your Majesty, this is just two children playing around. They are young and don’t know any better, so it’s inevitable that they will have conflicts. I will educate Yun’er properly when I get back,” said Consort Rong.

The Emperor said, "Didn't you always say that Yun'er is sensible? Although she is about the same age as Miaomiao, she is like an adult."

Consort Rong's face darkened, and she was rendered speechless by the rebuttal.

Yun'er's precocious talent has always been a source of pride for her.

"I'm just more sensible than her. Shi Miaomiao is such a good-for-nothing!" Shi Yunyun looked at Shi Miaomiao with great resentment.

She was just unlucky, while Shi Miaomiao was just lucky.

Shi Miaomiao is an ancient person. What qualifications does she have to compare with her, and what makes her superior?

She will become the empress of this world sooner or later!

"Such a young age, yet so quick-witted." The Emperor disliked her arrogant and aggressive demeanor.

"He should be locked up in solitary confinement for a month!" Shi Miaomiao chimed in.

Shi Yunyun said, "You're also at fault. If you're going to lock someone up, you should be locked up too. Why should I be the only one locked up?"

The Emperor was furious: "Take her away and confine her for a month. Without my permission, she is not to step out of Xinyi Palace!"

Consort Rong was resentful, but there was nothing she could do.

To prevent Shi Yunyun from offending the Emperor again, they had no choice but to pull her out of Huayao Palace.

"Mother, I can't be confined. I still have so many things to finish!" Shi Yunyun said indignantly.

By the time she came out, the Crown Prince of Tianqi had already gone back!

Consort Rong covered her mouth and took her back.

The Empress was distracted by the women and was unaware of Shi Miaomiao's situation. When she found out, Shi Youzhi carried her back to the banquet hall.

"Mother shouldn't have let you go out alone," the Empress said with heartache.

Shi Miaomiao grinned and said, "I'm fine."

As long as I can stop Shi Yunyun, what does it matter if I suffer a little grievance? Besides, she did it on purpose.

If Shi Yunyun isn't confined, she'll definitely sneak off to see Mu Xiuyan, and the two of them together will surely plot something.

"Little sister, want some chicken leg?" Shi Yuzhi held out a chicken leg to Shi Miaomiao.

Shi Miaomiao stared at Shi Yuzhi, her eyes practically glued to the chicken leg.

Actually, her fourth brother was just being polite to her.

“Not bad,” Shi Miaomiao said.

He'd probably been craving it for ages, how could I bear to take his chicken leg away?

"Then I'll eat it myself." Shi Yuzhi said contentedly, gnawing on a chicken leg.

"Sigh, other people at this age are busy building their careers and finding wives, but my fourth brother is still busy eating chicken legs."

"I need to find him a wife so she can keep him in check."

As soon as Shi Miaomiao looked up, she saw Zhong Ling in the distance.

Zhong Ling sat quietly and dignified in the crowd, but she was ultimately too naive and didn't know how to hide herself.

Those bright eyes were fixed on Mu Xiuyan.

Unfortunately, Mu Xiuyan didn't glance at her once throughout the entire mission.

That's pretty tragic.

"Fourth brother, do you want a wife?" Shi Miaomiao leaned over and asked in a low voice.

Shi Yu said, "Stop fooling around, I'm eating a chicken leg."

When eating chicken legs, mentioning your wife makes the chicken legs lose their appeal.

"I'm serious, do you want a wife or not?" Shi Miaomiao asked again.

"Sigh, in my fourth brother's heart, a chicken leg is always more appealing than a wife!"

"Such a good wife, just ran away like that, what a pity..."

As Shi Yuzhi listened to her innermost thoughts, could it really be true?

"Aren't you trying to trick me out of the chicken leg?" Shi Yuzhi asked, looking at her.

He thought his sister was going to steal his food.

Shi Miaomiao was speechless.

"Forget it!"

Seeing his older brother and sister-in-law being so loving, Shi Yuzhi, though not yet old enough, couldn't help but feel envious.

He often wondered what his future wife would be like.

"I want it!" Shi Yuzhi threw away the chicken leg and nodded at Shi Miaomiao.

Chicken drumsticks are not as important as my wife!
