Yue Ye turned her body, calmly stepping on the ground with her soft shoes. The corner of her Da Hong Pao turned, sweeping past the embroidered peony on the ground. Quietly walking towards the center of the hall, he pinched two jade-dried flowers on the table and threw them into the incense burner. As the censer floated out in spirals, the fragrance of the rose-colored jade assaulted their nostrils. It was both a familiar and a pleasant smell.

Staring at the grand figure in front of her, she watched as he unrestrainedly threw the jade pieces into the furnace one by one. Xue Fu couldn't help but think of his mother in the Bai residence. What she loved the most was the delicate fragrance emitted by the burning of the dried flower. When she was young, she would always smell this fragrance in her mother's room when she was still young. However, her mother stood in front of her window and looked up at the starry sky as tears silently flowed from her eyes!

Four years ago, when she went back to the Bai Clan, she could still smell it in her mother's room. He asked the servant girl beside him for her information. Thus, Luo Yu became the imperial court's tribute. Other than the imperial palace, no matter if it was the ordinary family name or the official family, they could not burn this dried jade flower again.

Luoyue grew up in the border area of Van'er, which was also the third wife's hometown. On the mountain, only one or two plants would appear by chance, and the number of plants that would appear was extremely small. Flowers red like fire, not long leaves, through the entire spring, summer, autumn and winter, harvested in the late winter, the day of the month. It was already snow-white by then, and the climb up the mountain was extremely dangerous. As for the Third Wife's father, since Xue Fu's grandfather was an expert in rock climbing, he had picked up a jade to dry in the middle of the winter and had the Third Wife take it to the streets to sell. He could earn money for his family's meals every year.

Third Madam had secretly hidden a lot of these flowers because she loved the scent of them very much. She brought them into the Bai Clan on the day she married them.

What Xue Fu did not expect was that the man in front of him would actually like the smell of the rose jade. It was said that the court's requirements were extremely strict. After picking the jade, she dried them in the sun and walked overland to send them to the Ning City. It was supposed to be more convenient to go by the water between the mortal world and the Ning City. In order to prevent the jade-dried flowers from being affected by the fragrance of the water vapor, they were all forbidden to take the water route.

Yet, such a precious item had been wasted by him. That incense burner was about to be stuffed to the point of burning. If it was anyone else, Xue Fu would have rushed up to stop them long ago. Only the person in front of him was the Son of Heaven, the Emperor of the Cloud Moon Kingdom. The entire Cloud Moon Kingdom was his, so what did the rare Jade Flower Pendant count for?

Until all the petals in the golden box were completely thrown away, Yue Ye then turned back to sneer at her, "Sooner or later your Bai Family will become like this incense burner, becoming useless when the petals are burnt to ashes!"

With a 'bang', it was the sound of the censer dropping at Xue Fu's feet. Xue Fu was naturally shocked by his sudden action, the dust from the censer all fell onto the ground. The peony totem had also lost its color and was covered in patches of black.

Xue Fu did not move at all, still kneeling at his original position and mumbling softly, "Does Your Majesty hate the Bai Family? Xue Fu also hates it... " Bai Clan! Other than giving her life, there was nothing else left. But when she was in need, he sent her to the palace, forcing her to face the fickle and heartless Emperor Yue Ye!

Her words lightly hit Yue Ye's heart, but it wasn't enough for him to have the slightest reaction. Instead, he took a step forward and looked down on her from above, saying: "The Bai Clan will not let us off lightly if we openly go against us. One day, I will see your father and advise him not to be too naive.

So he knew all about it! He's not stupid! Was Prime Minister Bai's intention that obvious? Or was it that the Emperor of Yue was too shrewd?

Xue Fu suddenly felt like a little sheep being eyed by a fierce big bad wolf. If he moved even a little, he would be bitten to the point that he didn't even want to spit. And the man in front of him was that wolf. She half opened her mouth as she gasped for breath. She felt that she would not be able to hold on any longer. It was only the first day, but she could no longer hold on. This game was not fun at all. No, she couldn't afford it!

"I will make your Bai Clan pay a painful price one by one!" It was as if he could not see her pain, and his voice was like a ghost in her ears, as if he was the judge of a death sentence!

Just as she began to pant more and more heavily, the voice of a young eunuch suddenly rang out from the door. The voice was very sharp and thin, but she was unable to hear it. Faintly knowing that the empress dowager and the empress dowager had arrived, she took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. He turned around and greeted the noble woman who had just entered the hall. "Xue Fu pays his respects to the empress dowager and the yufei."

"Get up." She heard an unfamiliar voice sound out from above her head, and heard the yufei pay her respects. She didn't know if she should retreat or retreat, or listen to the empress dowager's words. He thought for a while and finally obeyed. He stood up from the ground. Raising her head, she saw the current Empress Dowager. A dignified, dignified, and well-maintained woman!

The empress dowager was sizing her up as well, then turning to Yue Ye, she said with a smile, "This Xue Fei looks like an insignia, as expected of the daughter raised by Prime Minister Bai. Yi, you sure are lucky."

Yue Ye only gave Xue Fu an indifferent look, not saying a word. On the other hand, the yufei beside her was extremely unhappy. Biting his lips, Ji Xia rushed to the center of the hall, bent down to pick up the incense burner that Yue Ye threw on the ground, and said: "Who is so bold as to provoke the Emperor? Truly worthy of a thousand deaths!" As he spoke, he placed the censer back on the table.

Xue Fu understood the meaning behind her words; she was obviously being targeted at her. Lowering her head, she braced herself and bid farewell to Yue Ye and the empress dowager, then hurriedly left the great hall.

"Yi, I say that your temper should be changed. Don't fall down and kill people every now and then." The empress dowager took the little palace maid's hand and sat her down on the seat of honor. Her expression was kind, and her smile was warm. The empress dowager was the imperial concubine of the previous dynasty, and also the biological mother of the crown prince. The empress dowager was sorrowful for a while, but there was nothing she could do. She could only accept her fate!

Yue Ye sat on the other side and didn't reply. yufei considerately walked to his back and started massaging his shoulders with her gentle hands. Before the small fist had landed, it was lightly pulled out by a large palm, rejecting her good intentions. Naturally, she didn't dare to displease Yue Ye and obediently returned to the side of the empress dowager.

The empress dowager had long since gotten used to his temper. Without waiting for him to speak, she continued, "Yi, has the empress chosen yet?" Immediately afterwards, was the thing that she had urged the most during this past year. yufei, on the other hand, was always very serious, eagerly awaiting Yue Ye's reply. Only, every time, she was destined to be disappointed, because Yue Ye's thoughts weren't the slightest bit preoccupied with her family's matters.

This time, it was the same, Yue Ye only replied in a casual tone, "I haven't made a decision yet." Unexpectedly, the empress dowager was unhappy and continued, "The Northern Kingdom is in a state of turmoil. The Nangong family is growing stronger and more restless, with the possibility of a rebellion at any time. Imperial Mother, please forgive this son for not being able to take into account the crime of setting up the empress."

"National security is a top priority. Naturally, one must wholeheartedly face it. However, it isn't too difficult to do so in the future. You only need to say one sentence and uncover the truth to deal with the empress." The Empress Dowager said.

Yue Ye had a smile on her face, and with a sincere tone, she said, "Although the future may not be difficult, for the sake of great matters, I cannot rashly make a decision. Mother can be at ease, this son will definitely pay attention."

At this point, the empress dowager had nothing left to say. She helplessly sighed and said, "It would be better if the emperor really put this matter at heart." She had already heard Yue Ye's words many times, and every time she said that she would pay attention, but she had never really paid attention to them. The hall fell into silence for a moment. Only the censer that had been ignited once again emitted a sizzling sound. The fragrance that assaulted the nostrils was due to the fact that there were too many fragments of the Jade Lotus Flower. It was as if he had been locked in a world of flowers.

The empress dowager could not bear the heavy aroma, so she used a silk handkerchief to wipe her nose, and ordered the maidservant behind her to extinguish the incense burner. He then opened his mouth and said: "I heard that the Nan Gong Family has already sent an envoy to the Ning City to negotiate with them. Does the Emperor not plan on welcoming them courteously?"

"The other side has sent out the crown prince and the fourth son of the royal family. My Cloud Moon Country naturally has to treat them with respect." Yue Ye coldly laughed, showing an evil smile, as if she was waiting for him to hunt her prey. The empress dowager was shocked by his dangerous aura. Her eyes flashed with ridicule so quickly that no one could see it.

The Northern Kingdom used to be a small country, but later on it returned to the State of Yun Yue and became the northernmost kingdom of the State of Yun Yue. Even though the Northern Kingdom was a small country, it was flourishing day in and day out. If they did not govern soon, they would be out of harm's way.

Early last month, while the Northern Emperor was training with his men, he had accidentally trespassed into the territory of the State of Cloudmoon and was imprisoned by the Yancheng yamen, which was located close to the Northern Kingdom. During his imprisonment, Emperor Fang of the Northern Kingdom was alarmed to find that he had accidentally fallen into someone else's trap. He had weaved a net early in the morning and was waiting for him to jump. Unfortunately, the day of his awakening came too late, and he could only helplessly be escorted into custody.

As for the Crown Prince of the Northern Kingdom, Nangong Jue, and the Fourth Prince, Nangong Yu, they had come this time to make peace in order to rescue father from the State of Yun Yue. The two princes dared to come here alone with Ning City, so their courage was commendable. The Yue Ye Emperor even wanted to lure Nangong Yu over, but Nangong Yu refused to comply.

Walking out of the Qing He Palace, the empress dowager claimed that she was tired and wanted to rest. After yufei sent her back to the palace, she returned to her own residence, Phoenix Xiang Palace. Her skirt fluttered about in the grass, passing by many corridors in the gardens. The maidservants behind her all ran around panting, but none of them dared to make a sound.

When he reached the entrance of the Phoenix Xiang Palace, the yufei suddenly tripped over something soft and almost fell to the ground. Behind him, the servants cried out, "Empress, be careful!" At the same time, she rushed over to support yufei's body.

yufei was so shocked that his face turned white. He stabilized his body and looked down to see a woman kneeling in front of him. She was angered to the point where she almost jumped out of her mouth, "Stupid girl, are you courting death? Since you dare to block my way! "

The woman's head drooped even lower, and she said in a terrified voice, "Forgive me, Empress. I did not intend to block your path."

When these words came out, the female servants and eunuchs behind yufei immediately knelt down, and said in unison, "Lucky lord Hua!"
