Several sturdy maids in Fengyi Palace were about to attack Nan Xi when they received the Queen's order.

The guards outside were ready to stop them at any time after hearing the Queen's order.

The concubines on both sides were waiting to see the show with great interest.

Bai Die's face showed a bit of gloating.

Only the Queen who gave the order suddenly felt a bit regretful, fearing that if she really had a quarrel with Nan Xi, it would be out of control and she would not be able to explain to the Regent.

Everyone in the palace had different thoughts, but after this loud voice, they all froze.

Their faces changed drastically in an instant, and everyone got up and left the table very quickly. They didn't have time to think about anything, and hurriedly went out to welcome the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live the emperor!"

"I pay my respects to the Regent. Long live the Regent!"

The Regent is in a high position and has great power. He has been in power since the time of the previous emperor. He is of a higher generation than the emperor. Which of the empresses and concubines present is not his junior?

So at this moment, there is such a scene in front of us. From the empress to the concubines in the harem, everyone bowed their heads and saluted respectfully to the emperor and the Regent. The maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground.

Only Nan Xi was still standing. Standing among the people kneeling and saluting, she stood out like a crane among chickens.

The eyes of the emperor and the regent fell on her at the same time.

The young emperor was dressed in a dragon robe, with a slender figure, majestic eyebrows and eyes, and his facial features were somewhat similar to those of the Regent Rong Yu. However, in Nan Xi's eyes, he was not even one-tenth of the Regent's demeanor.

Rong Chuyun is just a narrow-minded and calculating emperor, not worthy of being called a wise king.

Nan Xi thought of the last fire in the Regent's Mansion in her previous life, with corpses everywhere and the miserable and painful wailing of the servants in the mansion.

Rong Yu, a man as noble as a banished immortal, a rare patron saint of the Great Zhou Dynasty in a hundred years, was buried under this man's dark and dirty calculations.

Nan Xi restrained the hatred in her heart, but there seemed to be a sharp murderous look in her eyes when she looked at Rong Chuyun. She took a deep breath, afraid that he would notice something strange, and quickly concealed her emotions.

When Nan Xi was looking at Rong Chuyun, Rong Chuyun was also looking at Nan Xi.

This woman who has been rumored recently and made the emperor's uncle imprisoned in the mansion against his status and principles, turned out to be such a stunning beauty.

No wonder...

Rong Chuyun was about to speak, but saw the originally indifferent girl pursed her lips and turned to look at the regent beside him. Her eyes were slightly red, and her delicate and refined face slowly revealed a helpless look.

"Your Highness." She bowed gracefully and bit her lips lightly. Although she did not cry, she made people feel extremely aggrieved, "I..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw a black shadow flash in front of her, and she fell into a warm embrace.

Rong Chuyun was slightly stunned. He did not expect that the woman who was calm and composed a moment ago suddenly became a weak dodder.

"I'm here, don't be afraid." Rong Yu's eyebrows were cold, but his voice was particularly gentle, as if he was afraid of scaring the girl in his arms, but his eyes like ice swept coldly across everyone present, "Silver Moon."

Everyone who was swept by his eyes shuddered, and clearly felt a chill running up his spine from the soles of his feet.

"I'm here!" Yin Yue also knelt on the ground, and replied respectfully but loudly, so that everyone present could hear clearly, "Reporting to the prince, the queen wants the girl to enter the palace for selection. If the girl refuses, the queen will have someone take her down!"

As soon as these words came out, the weather seemed to suddenly change from the season of spring and flowers to the bitter winter. The air condensed, and the faces of everyone present changed.

Rong Chuyun looked at Queen Bai in shock. Enter the palace for selection?

When did he let her make her own decisions?

The queen's heart sank, and she suppressed her anger, raised her head and explained: "Uncle, please calm down, the matter is not-"

"Did the king ask you to speak?" Rong Yu spoke, his voice was as cold as the ice and snow accumulated on the Tianshan Mountain for thousands of years, extremely cold, but also extremely noble, "Yin Yue, continue."

The queen's face turned pale in an instant, embarrassed and terrified.

Yin Yue responded with a "yes" and continued, "The Queen and the concubines asked the girl to kneel down before them. I said that the girl is the future princess of the prince, and the prince has allowed the girl to enter the palace without kneeling, but the Queen did not believe it... By the way, the Queen's sister, Miss Bai Die, has been mocking and scolding the girl since she first met her, and has been trying to sow discord in front of the Queen. She also called the girl a, a..."

Bai Die's face turned pale.

The rest of the words seemed difficult to say, Yin Yue lowered her head and said it all at once: "She also said that the girl was fickle, unfeeling, and trying to climb the prince's high branch, saying that the girl was born in a merchant family and had a low status. In short, every sentence was just finding fault. I defended the girl for a few words, and the Concubine Shu suggested that the Queen drag me out and beat me with a stick."

There was a dead silence around.

Everyone was too stiff to react, and they wished they could disappear here immediately.

Nan Xi quietly curled up in the arms of the Regent, lowered her head, and looked weak and helpless, but in her heart she admired Yin Yue's eloquence and clear mind countless times.

She could always express the most important things in a sonorous and powerful way, and raise the fear and anger of others to the highest point in the shortest time.

For example, the anger of the Regent Rong Yu, the fear of the Queen and the people watching the show.

It was really a matter of time.

The next person watching the show became her.

A thick layer of ice formed on Rong Yu's noble and indifferent face. The air around him was rapidly dropping at a speed that the skin could feel, and it was so cold that people shivered from the bones.

"I, I didn't..." Bai Die's face was as pale as paper, and she no longer had the arrogance just now. "Your Majesty is wise! I didn't deliberately embarrass Miss Nan. It was Miss Nan herself who didn't understand the rules of the palace. I——"

"Yin Shuang." The cold words overflowed from his lips, and Rong Yu's delicate eyebrows were as cold as a storm. "Slap your mouth."

Rong Chuyun suddenly turned his head and suppressed his angry voice: "Uncle, this——"

"I obey your command!"

The cold Yin Shuang responded respectfully, stood up from the ground and walked directly to Bai Die, raised his hand and slapped her face.

Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap!

"Ah!" Bai Die didn't even have time to react. Yin Shuang was a martial artist, and the force she used was so great that she screamed in pain, "Empress... um, Empress sister... ah! Empress sister, save... um, save me!"

The others watched this scene in fear, their faces turned pale, and they dared not breathe.
