Chapter 68: Not as fragrant anymore

"The Emperor has arrived, the Empress Dowager has arrived, the Empress has arrived..."

Su Nanyi had not finished swallowing the pastry in her mouth when the eunuch's hoarse voice could be heard in the hall.

The people in the hall immediately stood up and knelt down to greet the Emperor, the Empress Dowager and others.

It was very difficult for Su Nanyi to kneel down, and she was able to kneel down with the help of Mo Lian's inner strength.

In her heart, she cursed the old witch, the Queen Mother, for making such a fuss on her birthday. She would never enter the palace unless there was something wrong, as long as she would not be beheaded.

She also hated this kneeling down, being as obedient as a grandson in front of the one in power, and not being able to say a wrong word.

It's so fucking tiring.

After complaining, Su Nanyi quickly followed everyone and shouted: "Welcome to the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, the Queen..."

After shouting, Su Nanyi felt like she was about to die.

Soon, a group of people appeared at the entrance.

The first to come in was the emperor. He was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe. He was in his thirties and had only been on the throne for a few years. His majesty and imposing aura were so overwhelming that one could be frightened just by looking at him for a few more seconds.

Next came the Queen Mother, who was graceful and elegant, with a smile on her face, looking like a wealthy old lady.

Although it is not as beautiful as toffee, it gives people a sense of affinity.

She is indeed suitable to be the mother of a country, and the concubine dowager is suitable to be a favored concubine.

Following the Empress Dowager was the Queen, who was dressed in a phoenix robe and had a face that expressed hope for a peaceful and prosperous country.

Next came the emperor's concubine, who was extremely beautiful and a true beauty.

Next came the emperor's concubines. Today, each of them was dressed festively, like the flowers in the imperial garden, vying with each other for beauty.

No wonder every man has a dream of becoming an emperor, not only to hold great power, but also to own all the beauties in the world.

It is true that the country and beauty coexist.

Li Yuzhu looked up and saw the people on the stage. It was her first time to enter the palace and she had never seen the nobles in the palace. But when she saw them today, even she, who was used to seeing handsome men and beautiful women, was deeply shocked. These were all natural beauties.

Especially when she met the emperor, his majestic and domineering temperament immediately attracted her deeply. This kind of man is exactly her type.

Ling Xiao is tall and handsome, but too cold, and has a solemn look. When you want to get intimate with him, he is like a wooden stake, without any romance, and is very stiff.

Suddenly Ling Xiao no longer seemed popular in her heart.

Thinking that the baby in her belly was gone, Li Yuzhu's eyes flashed, and she had to change her plan.

Her soul comes from the modern era. She doesn't have the idea that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. If you don't like or love someone anymore, you can just find someone you like.

In modern times, there are people who get married today and divorced tomorrow. What's more, she is just an concubine of Ling Xiao, and she can't even be included in the royal jade plate. In other words, she is not on Ling Xiao's household registration book, and she may just walk away.

Anyway, she was almost suffering from internal injuries from staying in that suffocating place, so she decided to change places. It happened that Ling Xiao started to care about that bitch Su Nanyi, so she was kind enough to help them.

Haha, what a good idea! Li Yuzhu couldn't help but feel happy about her idea, as if she had succeeded.

But she didn't think that the emperor would want her, a fallen woman, and Ling Xiao's woman. He was afraid that he would kill her.

"Everyone, please stand up."

After coming in, the emperor waved his hand and said.

His voice was as domineering as he was, and Li Yuzhu couldn't take her eyes away. "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Yuzhu realized it later and followed everyone else in expressing her gratitude, but her voice lagged behind by several degrees and ended up being the last.

As soon as her somewhat excited voice sounded, it immediately aroused everyone's contempt. This was a woman from Prince Rong's Mansion, and she was so excited to see Tian Yan.

Everyone knows that Ling Xiao is a thorn in the emperor's side, someone he wants to get rid of as soon as possible. What does this woman's behavior mean?
Ling Xiao was sitting at the men's table opposite. Although Li Yuzhu's expression was not very clear, what did that excited voice mean?
"Old Fifteen, that's your aunt, right? Why are you so excited to see the emperor for the first time?"

Prince An teased.

Ling Xiao glared at him. In his heart, he was also very angry with Li Yuzhu. He had to ask about it later. So he said unhappily, "Yeah, how can you not be excited to see the emperor's face?"

Prince An's mouth twitched. Well, he really had nothing to say, but he glanced at Li Yuzhu. This woman was interesting. He would do something to excite her even more later.

The emperor on the stage also obviously noticed Li Yuzhu. When he looked at their table and saw that it was Ling Xiao's family, his eyes fixed for a moment, and then he said, "Everyone doesn't have to stand, sit down."

Today is not a holiday, it is just the Queen Mother's birthday. It is attended by royal family members and some important royal relatives, so there are not so many rules.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After expressing their gratitude, everyone sat down. At the same time, everyone on the stage sat down, with the Emperor sitting in the middle, the Empress on his right, and the Queen Mother on his left.

As soon as she sat down, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "Today is my birthday. I am very happy to have you all come to the palace to accompany me. I have to thank the Emperor for his filial piety and thoughtfulness."

The emperor said respectfully, "The Queen Mother only celebrates her birthday once a year, so we should celebrate it with great fanfare. As long as the Queen Mother is happy, that's all."

The Queen Mother patted the Emperor's hand and said, "I am very happy. By the way, is Concubine Ji here today?"

After she asked, she looked at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao stood up and bowed, saying, "My mother is ill, and it would be inappropriate for her to come to the palace and spoil the Empress Dowager's mood, so I won't come."

"Oh, that's a bit of a pity. Have you asked the imperial physician to take a look?"

The Queen Mother asked with great concern.

"Yes, it's nothing serious, just some old ailments, I'll be fine after taking some medicine."

"Ah That's good."

The Queen Mother nodded, the concern on her face was beyond words. People who didn't know would really think that they were very affectionate sisters. In fact, everyone knew that the Queen Mother was looking for trouble with the Concubine Dowager.

As expected, the Queen Mother immediately said to the Emperor beside her: "Your Majesty, since Concubine Ji is not in good health, she is also your concubine mother, so you should show some concern for her."

"Yes, mother, I will have someone send some top-quality supplements to Prince Rong's mansion shortly."

Before Ling Xiao could refuse, the emperor said to the eunuch behind him, "Xiao Shunzi, go tell your master to go to my private storehouse and pick out some top-quality supplements and send them to the concubine immediately."

The emperor bit the best bit very hard.

Xiao Shunzi understood immediately and bowed, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go right away."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the hall, as if there was a ghost chasing him, and he couldn't even interrupt their conversation.

Ling Xiao was so angry that his teeth were chattering. This person went to Prince Rong's mansion to cause trouble while he was away.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, but it was impossible for him to leave his seat to stop it. He could only hope that his mother could handle it.

Even the Ling Xiao Party members present were sweating for him. Everyone knew that today was the day to take advantage of the Queen Mother's birthday to target Ling Xiao.
