In the novel "Joy of Life," the protagonist wakes up at Li Chengze's residence.

Both adult princes of the Qing Kingdom have stood up to recommend Fan Xian, instantly putting him in the spotlight.

This also gave Zhuang Mohan the opportunity to act.

Zhuang Mohan and Princess Li Yunrui took turns setting traps for Fan Xian, insisting that his poem was plagiarized.

With Guo Baokun adding fuel to the fire and Emperor Qing remaining silent, Fan Xian realized that he had to clear his name tonight.

However, Fan Xian originally planned to hold a banquet tonight to sue Lin Gong, the son of Prime Minister Lin, and Princess Li Yunrui.

The two conspired to assassinate Fan Xian and betray the country, but before he could speak, the Eldest Princess tricked them.

Fan Xian thought to himself, "Before Tao Jingyang left yesterday, he specifically mentioned the Eldest Princess..."

Judging from the current situation, she's the only one speaking up to Zhuang Mohan; it's probably this eldest princess's doing again.

Upon further reflection, I realized this round came at just the right time.

Zhuang Mohan, is it? Another one from Northern Qi. When the time comes, we'll settle all our old and new scores together and see how your Princess will escape unscathed.

Just as Fan Xian was pondering a solution, no one in the hall spoke up for him.

Li Chengze took a sip of wine, also wanting to see how Fan Xian would resolve this situation, when Tao Jingyang behind him spoke up:

"Young Master Fan, if you say you didn't copy this poem, what evidence do you have to prove it?"

When Li Chengze heard Tao Jingyang, who was sitting behind him, suddenly speak, he subtly turned his head to the side, his eyes coldly observing everyone present.

Fan Xian met her gaze, his eyes gleaming, and gave a sneer: "Of course."

More than a hundred poems were published, stunning literary figures across the world.

Fan Xian collapsed to the ground, drunk, and Zhuang Mohan coughed up a mouthful of blood, thus bringing this farce to an end.

Emperor Qing put down his chopsticks and abruptly left his seat. Who in the room didn't understand that Fan Xian had copied someone else's poem? It was clearly a frame-up!

The princess's expression was stiff, but she smiled sinisterly as she stared at Fan Xian, who was lying drunk on the table in front of her.

But she showed no sign of defeat, as if none of this concerned her.

At this moment, everyone on the field had a different expression. Tao Jingyang inexplicably felt that Emperor Qing seemed to have glanced at her before leaving.

After the "drunk" Fan Xian was helped away, Li Chengze was the first to get up. Just as he was about to take Tao Jingyang and leave this "ominous place" as quickly as possible...

Then Eunuch Hou came to deliver a message, saying that Emperor Qing had summoned the two of them and asked them to wait in the side hall first.

A weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken also falls into this category.

On the way to the side hall, Li Chengze leaned closer to Tao Jingyang and whispered to her, "I guess he just wants to see you."

“I think so too,” Tao Jingyang whispered in response.

The two people live close to each other, and to outsiders, it seems that their relationship is indeed ridiculously good.

They even speak in whispers.

With a beaming smile, Eunuch Hou bowed to Li Chengze and said, "Your Highness, His Majesty, only this young lady has been summoned in."

The two people outside the hall exchanged a glance, then both lowered their eyes. Tao Jingyang walked into the hall and stood in the very center.

Eunuch Hou hurriedly informed her that she needed to kneel before His Majesty, and Tao Jingyang seemed to "awaken from a dream" before performing the ritual.

Emperor Qing, contrary to his usual demeanor, sat upright in the very center of the main hall.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing that His Majesty had spoken, Eunuch Hou, who was standing to the side, consciously withdrew.

"I saw you speak up for Fan Xian at the banquet just now. You and Fan Xian get along very well?"

Emperor Qing spoke with an authoritative tone, glancing at Tao Jingyang only once as he said this.

Tao Jingyang thought to himself: "Is this some kind of test?"

But he still replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, I am not very familiar with it. To be honest, I was somewhat watching a play in the hall just now."

I'm really... embarrassed to say I'm helping out.

Hearing Tao Jingyang say this, Emperor Qing also became interested: "Watching a show? You're quite honest." His tone was sarcastic and his words were ironic.

Emperor Qing leaned back in his chair, his narrow eyes sharply gazing down at Tao Jingyang in the center of the hall.
