Dressed as a female partner, she was spotted by the reborn male protagonist

Emperor Palace

Hundreds of civil and military officials stood on both sides of the court.

The third prince, Xiao Wujiu, the king of Ying, the fifth prince, Xiao Duo, the king of Mian, and the eighth prince, Xiao Yuli, were under the emperor's control.

As the ceremony officials sang, Princess Yalicha of the Northern Barbarians brought the gifts from the Northern Barbarians to pay homage to Emperor Jingguo.

The Northern Man princess was covered in bright gold ornaments from head to toe. She wore a bright red gauze skirt on her lower body and only a short coat embroidered with peonies on her upper body. Her slender waist was exposed, which confused the scene. The old ministers all blushed and did not dare to raise their heads.

After saying a few words, the Northern Barbarian Princess went straight to the point, "Your Majesty, Yaliza has admired His Royal Highness the King of England for many years. I heard that His Highness has not gotten married. I wonder if Your Majesty can grant us a marriage."

These words are like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing thousands of waves.

A year ago, the King of England defeated the Northern Barbarians. The Northern Barbarians had already surrendered to Jingguo. Logically speaking, sending the princess here should be the same as paying tribute. It would be very shameless to let her pick and subtract.

"If the Northern Barbarians want to make peace with Jingguo, they only need to wait for His Majesty's decree in the post house. Don't make mistakes like this." Xue Quandong, the Minister of Rites, warned.

I don’t know why this time when the Northern Barbarian Princess came to Beijing to offer her sacrifice, His Majesty did not appoint any prince to come, but instead left all the authority to the Minister of Rites.

Xue Quandong made countless innuendoes, and Princess Beiman did not make any request. Today, she arrived at the main hall. Such a sudden sentence really frightened him.

He was afraid of angering the emperor and would settle the score with him afterwards, saying that he was not doing things well.

Yaliza looked puzzled, "I really admire His Royal Highness the King of England for his campaign in the North. I just want to express my love. Why not?"

"This is Jingguo. The princess cannot call herself to your majesty, this palace or this palace." Xue Quandong's forehead was sweating. He had taught her all this before.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I like His Majesty the King anyway." This is an innocent and shameless performance to the extreme.

The emperor waved his hand, and Xue Quandong understood and hurriedly invited the Beiman Princess back to the post house.

The emperor left his three sons behind and dismissed the courtiers.

"What do you think?"

The emperor had a pile of memorials piled high in his hand. He was reviewing them while asking questions without raising his head.

Xiao Duo had a look on his face. He obviously hadn't slept well for a long time. He looked a little gloomy and decadent. "Father, the Northern Barbarians are a small country affiliated with our Jingguo. They can't follow their wishes. They just paid a tribute." The princess should be sent directly to the harem as a concubine."

King Mian had always been favored by the emperor. He always spoke freely in front of the emperor, but he was never reprimanded, so he became even bolder.

The emperor didn't speak. After waiting for a long time, he raised his head and glanced at Xiao Wujiu before continuing to review the memorial.

Xiao Wujiu then spoke, "The Northern Barbarians are ambitious. There have been some changes in the Northern Barbarians recently. The princess's marriage may not be sincere, so it is better to postpone it for a while."

"How do the Three Emperors brothers know that there is something unusual happening in the Northern Barbarians?" King Mian sneered, "It's just a woman. Just marry her back and lock her in a house. How can there be so many troubles."

The emperor frowned, paused with the imperial pen in his hand, and left a big black dot on the memorial. He quickly relaxed his fingers and continued to correct the memorial.

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, but the food and grass have gone first. There are always clues." Xiao Wujiu's tone was calm, and he stopped talking after he finished speaking.

The emperor put aside the memorial in his hand and looked at his three sons standing below.

Ever since the eighth prince Xiao Yu entered the Huangji Palace, he kept looking down at his shoes, as if he didn't hear what they were discussing.

The emperor looked at the three sons and frowned, and said angrily, "Let the concubine hold a palace banquet in two days." After saying that, he waved his hand to signal the three princes to leave.

When the three of them were about to exit the palace, the emperor suddenly remembered something and left King Mian Xiao Duo behind. "You haven't gone to pay your respects to your mother and concubine in recent days? She is very worried."

The emperor stood up from the dragon chair, sat next to King Mian, and reached out to pat King Mian's shoulder.

This act of intimacy can also be seen in King Mian.

"Son, I want nothing more... until my son recovers, I will go see my mother and concubine."

There was a look of coping on King Mian's face. He hated it most when he came to the palace to greet his mother and concubine. She would always nag her.

The emperor glanced at Wan Quan, the eunuch in charge.

Wanquan understood and asked the young eunuch to bring in a basket. He opened the brocade cloth covering it and found a basket of fresh lychees.

"Bring these lychees that your uncle brought as tribute from the southwest to your mother and concubine to taste."

The emperor had already spoken, but King Mian naturally did not dare to resist the order. He reluctantly took the basket and left.

In the eyes of the little eunuch, it was really a picture of a loving father and a filial son.

But when everyone retreated, the emperor immediately turned cold and said, "Wanquan, you can tell Concubine Yu about the palace banquet. I won't go there if I'm tired."

Wanquan has been following the emperor since he was a child, and he understands the emperor's thoughts best. He knows what the emperor means with just one sentence, and he hurriedly agreed.

When he was about to reach Kunning Hall, he saw King Mian handing the basket of lychees to a young eunuch from a distance, and then turned around and left the palace.

Wan Quan was silent, he knew that King Yi Mian had such a temper that the more he was asked to go, the more he would not go. When he entered the Kunning Palace, he would treat Concubine Yu to some eye drops and alienate the relationship between mother and son. His Majesty knew that You will definitely be happy.

Half-day leisure teahouse in Beijing

There were several noble ladies sitting in the private room on the top floor. One of them, a girl in a purple dress, was wiping her tears. The others surrounded her to comfort her.

"This Ruan Mianmian is too much. How could she plot against Sister Mu like this?"

"Sister Mu is so kind-hearted. I would have to cut her into pieces to relieve my anger." A girl wearing a honey-colored brocade, multi-colored engraved silk and a patterned floor-length skirt looked angry and gestured as she spoke. The action of stabbing someone with a knife.

"Sister Huo is as righteous as your grandfather." Mu Wan Ning wiped her tears and did not forget to praise others.

Upon hearing this, Huo Ling'er felt that her sense of justice was overwhelming, "We must kill her majesty today to vent our anger on Sister Mu."

A group of noble ladies heard the news from nowhere that Ruan Mianmian and his party were entering the city today.

They were thinking that if they humiliated Ruan Mianmian on her first day in Beijing, she would not be able to stay in the capital anymore.

"Here we come, the Ruan family's motorcade is here." A maid opened the door and entered the private room, reporting the situation to the ladies.

"Where are Prince Jingyuan and the others?" an older-looking girl wearing a yellow skirt immediately asked. As soon as the words came out, she felt that she was being rude, so she immediately explained, "Prince Jingyuan is her cousin after all. , if we make him angry too, wouldn’t it be worth the loss?”

The little maid hurriedly chatted, "Your Majesty, they have already changed their way back to the house, and now the only three masters left in the car are the Second Lady Lu and the Third Miss Ruan and the Fourth Miss."

When Huo Ling'er heard this, she stood up quickly, pulled out a stick from nowhere in her hand, and went downstairs with it, "Let's go! We will fight this hornet's nest."
