Eighty-seven, just take this pair of eyes down

  Spoiled wife without limit, the eldest princess is unbridled at eighty-seven. You can take this pair of eyes now.

  On the day of Li Chun, Emperor Xiaohuang celebrated his 50th birthday, a grand amnesty was declared throughout the country, and the whole nation rejoiced.

  The sky was still dark, but Bai Xing had woken up early. She saw Yan Mo Ye getting out of bed and wanted to follow suit, but Yan Mo Ye pressed her back into the blankets.

  "The banquet won't start until one o'clock in the afternoon, what's the point of getting up so early?"

  Bai Xin poked her head out of the quilt: "I couldn't sleep, could I?" This was her first time encountering such a grand banquet, and she wouldn't be lying if she said she wasn't excited.

  Today is the emperor's birthday, and it coincides with the beginning of spring, making the day even more grand.

  It is said that in the morning, sacrifices will be made to heaven and the gods. However, it is said that only males of the imperial family can participate, female relatives are not allowed to attend.

  The emperor's birthday banquet was set at noon, which is said to be an auspicious time. All officials above the fourth rank had to come, whether they were civil or military officials in the capital or outside the capital, and they could bring their families into the palace to celebrate the emperor's longevity.

  Yesterday, when she was bored, she secretly took a peek at the booklet in her husband's hand and found that there were almost 400 to 500 people attending today. Among them, there were more than 100 officials of the fourth rank or above from both the capital and other provinces. Each official brought an average of three family members, which added up to over 400 people. There were also envoys from various countries, not including the imperial concubines, princes, and princesses in the harem, as well as the eunuchs and palace maids.

  This large number of people are all leaders of Shu Xia State, just thinking about it is enough to make one not dare to underestimate them.

  The customs of the Shu Xia Kingdom were very different from those palace etiquette she had read about in history books. To avoid making mistakes, she had hastily found a wet nurse to teach her the rules of the palace for the past two days.

  Yan Mo helped her tidy up the quilt with a smile: "You're not sleeping well now, and after noon, there's no chance to sleep. Listen, get up in two hours, let Xue Ying help you dress, don't wander around, wait for your husband to come back and pick you up."

  He had already made all the arrangements for her, so Bai Xinzhu didn't dare say anything else.

  She stretched out her hand from under the quilt, wrapped her arm around his neck, pulled him down, and pecked at the corner of his lips with her red lips.

  It's rare for her to take the initiative, how could I let go of this opportunity? One hand passed through her neck, grasping the back of her head, and immediately captured her red lips that were about to leave.

  After a long while, the two of them had their foreheads pressed against each other, calming down their own disordered breathing. Looking at her slightly red and swollen cherry lips, the clean and unadorned small face was covered with a faint flush, and the black pupils were filled with a dazed light, still with a few hints of sleepiness, inadvertently revealing a small woman's charm. His mouth was dry and his tongue was parched, and in an instant, a spark of flame ignited in his eyes.

  "Xian'er..." He reached deep into the bedding with his large hands, calling out in a low, hoarse voice. This sacrifice to heaven was a matter for the imperial family, and this year was also his first time participating. Who knew that he actually didn't want to participate, he just wanted to quietly enjoy the warmth of the two of them together.

  He didn't think that being a prince was something to be proud of, on the contrary, whenever he thought of his identity, he would think of the jade coffin in Lu Yunshan, and the person inside it.

  He thought his mother would definitely not like his current identity? Otherwise, she wouldn't have married someone else with him still in her womb.

  “……?!”. Bai Xin was embarrassed. The fiery gaze in his eyes was self-evident, and he quickly let go of his neck to grab his hand, slapping it impatiently, "Stop messing around! Hurry up and clean up!"

  Ignoring his tense body, she raised her hand and gently pushed him. Doesn't this guy care about the situation? Isn't he afraid of being late and getting scolded by others?

  "Despicable thing!" Yan Mo gave a angry and amused bite on her upturned nose, then immediately withdrew and left.

  Before noon, Bai Xincheng was bathed and dressed under the arrangement of several palace maids and wet nurses.

  Afraid she couldn't eat well at the banquet, Xue Ying had prepared some food in advance and let her fill her stomach first.

  Today's Blood Shadow changed into a regular palace attire in order to follow Bai Xiner, disguising herself as a palace maid.

  At noon, Yan Mo came back as scheduled and took the master and servant to the banquet venue - Fengyue Temple.

  Today's palace is still majestic and solemn, luxurious and elegant. But compared to the past, it has lost a lot of quietness and dignity, and everywhere is filled with festive atmosphere.

  The banquet was set up in the Fengyue Palace, and they arrived on time. The banquet was almost full. In the magnificent and spacious palace, there were hundreds of low tables, each official seated according to their rank. One low table represented a family, and at a glance, it was clear and distinct.

  As soon as she stepped into the banquet hall, Bai Xincheng felt countless eyes fixed on her. It was also when she first married into the Cheng Wang Fu that she became a topic of conversation among everyone in the capital after dinner, and now that she had announced to the outside world that she had recovered normally and was no longer deaf and mute, other people's curiosity might be even deeper than before.

  As the man walked forward with his footsteps.

  For the people who came to the banquet, she didn't know most of them. Looking around, there were only a few tables of people she was familiar with and had seen before. Among them were the University Scholars' Mansion, the Minister's Mansion, and the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion. When she saw Liu Xue Lan also appear, she was somewhat surprised.

  I didn't expect Lord Liu to attach such importance to Xue Leng, and he even brought her along.

  She wasn't saying that Xue Lian shouldn't be here, but rather that Xue Lian's status as a mere adopted daughter could actually accompany the legitimate children to come here, this isn't something that Lord Liu would do, who else has such authority?

  She took another look at the Bai family next to the Liu's and let out a faint sigh, withdrawing her gaze and sat down beside Mo Yu.

  Next to them, a low table, the man jade crown white face, a body of honor and luxury air, proudly overlooking the guests, only because that table had only him, so it seemed a bit lonely.

  "King Fengde." Bai Xincheng looked at him with a hint of sarcasm, "After today, the King Fengde's mansion will probably be filled with great joy? The king and I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you in advance, wishing King Fengde an early marriage and children."

  Xia Lixuan narrowed his eyes slightly, casting a cold sideways glance, with obvious displeasure in his gaze. "Don't make light remarks in front of this king. If you have time to mock me, it's better to think about how to deal with those who have ulterior motives, hum!"

  After finishing speaking, he withdrew his gaze and stared intently at a certain place with a deep and focused expression.

  "......?!" Bai Xin's mouth twitched at the corner. The news really spread quickly! It seems that there is more than one person who wants to humiliate her today?

  Is the position of Princess Consort really that popular?

  Just as she was indulging in her daydreams, an arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her thoughts back to reality.

  "What's on your mind?" A familiar low male voice sounded beside her ear.

  Bai Xin raised her head, smiled at him, and then pointed to a proud peacock on another table: "Mo Yu, he's scaring me."

  Upon hearing this, Xia Lixuan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Feeling a cold gaze fall on him, he raised his chin without turning around, silently cursing in his heart.

  Really don't know how women nowadays can be so shameless...

  The banquet has not officially started yet, and at this moment, the atmosphere in the banquet hall is still relatively relaxed.

  Bai Xin took the opportunity to size up the envoys from various countries. The people sent by each country were different, some slightly older and some looking very young. The older ones were dignified and serious, but those who were younger, each had a distinct style of dressing. Although there was not much difference in attire between countries, they all exuded an air of nobility, with the men being handsome and the women beautiful. At a glance, it was clear that their status in their respective countries was not low.

  "Mo Yu, didn't you say that Sheng Yi was the second prince of Xi Yun country? Why hasn't he come?" Bai Xintian suddenly asked in a low voice.

  He lowered his eyelids, gazing in the direction of the Western Cloud Kingdom's envoy. There was only one middle-aged man there; apart from him, the Western Cloud Kingdom had not sent anyone else this time.

  Watching him tightly pursed thin lips without saying a word, Bai Xincheng's heart also flashed a thread of unease at the same time.

  "Didn't you say that Holy Doctor returned to his country because of the empress dowager's matter? Should we wait until the banquet is over and ask the envoy from Western Cloud Country to inquire about his situation?"

  "No need." This time, Yan Mo's voice was very crisp. His low-pitched tone seemed somewhat suppressed, "Not many people know about the affairs between Feng Tong and me, if I were to ask questions, it would definitely attract attention from others."

  Bai Xin nodded slightly. It's also true that they still don't know the specific situation of Sheng Yi, and if they reveal their acquaintance with him, there might be trouble if someone with ulterior motives brings it back to the country. After all, Sheng Yi has been hiding his identity in Shu Xia for many years, and if people find out he's close to the Crown Prince of Shu Xia, who knows what others will think?

  But Sheng Yi went and lost all contact, after all, it's a matter that doesn't let people feel at ease. She was still waiting for him to return to Shu Xia State to help solve the cause of her mother-in-law's death...

  ……

  Outside the hall, drums and music suddenly sounded together, the auspicious moment has arrived.

  A figure in a bright yellow robe stepped forward with a majestic stride, the awe-inspiring aura of an emperor instantly spreading throughout the banquet hall, making everyone involuntarily bow their heads in respect.

  Behind her were many palace maids and concubines of various ranks, each one noble and elegant, with outstanding temperament, instantly adding to the splendor of the banquet hall.

  A long line of people found their own positions according to their ranks.

  At the moment when Xia Gao Luo Zuoshang, all the civil and military officials in the hall stood up with their families and walked to the hall.

  "Long live the Emperor, may his reign be boundless! May our Sovereign live forever and ever!" Hundreds of people shouted in unison, and for a moment, the loud voices echoed through the grand and spacious banquet hall, making it even more majestic.

  "All of you, bow down." Xia Gao's expression was stern and majestic, his entire being radiating the aura of an emperor.

  Returning to their seats, the music outside started again, and only then did a group of palace servants enter the hall to lay out the feast.

  All the ceremonial procedures were carried out in an orderly and solemn manner. First, the court officials congratulated, followed by the envoys of various countries presenting their congratulations and gifts, then the royal family members and the imperial concubines congratulated and presented their gifts...

  After reading out the eulogy and hymns for Xia Huang, everyone bowed again to Xia Huang and shouted congratulations.

  And then the banquet officially began——

  This grand banquet is not only to celebrate the birthday of Xia Huang, but also like previous palace banquets, it is a way to win over court officials. However, today's banquet has another characteristic, that is, there are many handsome men and beautiful women. Looking around, almost every family has one or two young children, especially girls, who can be identified as daughters from wealthy families just by their clothes and accessories.

  The banquet was in full swing, with the sound of music and singing filling the air. However, anyone with discerning eyes could see that everyone was bored stiff. The performances were nothing special, just the usual palace fare that one had seen many times before, and which only served to annoy rather than amaze.

  Recently, the heavy play under the proposal of Jin Guifei 'understanding people's intentions' has also opened its curtain.

  "Your Majesty, today is your birthday and the envoys from various countries have come to congratulate you. As a country that values etiquette, I, your subject, dare to propose that we let each of the talented men and women present their skills, firstly to show everyone the future pillars of our Shu Xia nation, and secondly, as a representation of our welcome and gratitude to the envoys from various countries on behalf of our Shu Xia nation. I wonder if Your Majesty thinks my proposal is appropriate?"

  Xia Gao smiled and looked at her: "The words of the noble concubine are in line with my will. Today, many talented and beautiful people are here, and I also want to see what outstanding talents the future pillars of Xia Summer State have. It's just that I don't know who should take the lead in showing off their talents."

  Looking at the two people singing and harmonizing above, Bai Xinzhi was speechless in her heart.

  What a pity she didn't have the talent to show off.

  But what she didn't expect was that the first person to show off her talent was actually Liu Xue Lan.

  This girl is so careless and reckless, I didn't expect her to dare to show off like this.

  She looked at Liu Boyu in surprise, only to see that he was calm and collected, without a hint of worry. On the contrary, his gaze at the girl in the hall seemed to reveal a few hints of complacency.

  "......?!" Bai Xin couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. This was indeed a weird father-daughter pair!

  She turned her head and took a glance at a proud peacock at the next table, only to find that his entire face was black.

  Liu Xue Lan performed a sword dance. Don't look at that delicate and weak body, the momentum of the sword moving in all directions shocked the whole audience instantly, with a heroic dance posture, neat and elegant movements, combining strength and softness to perfection.

  At the moment of sheathing his sword, he immediately drew thunderous applause from the entire hall.

  So perfect, so elegant, it's a good start, many young ladies in the palace are full of admiration and have the heart to try.

  Everyone knows that on such an occasion, if one performs well, not only can they earn a reputation as a talented young man or woman, but also bring honor to their family and increase their own status within the family. Who wouldn't want to seize this opportunity?

  "Which family's daughter are you?" On the dragon chair, Xia Gao had a face full of admiration.

  Liu Xue Lan was no longer her usual carefree self, suddenly becoming serious and captivating, with her large eyes sparkling clean and clear, calmly meeting the gaze of the person above, without a hint of nervousness: "Your Majesty, I am Liu Xue Lan, daughter of General Liu Boyu. I wish you a long and healthy life, forever young and vigorous!"

  "Great...great..." Xia Gaoyang exclaimed, "I didn't expect that our Shu Xia Kingdom would have such a heroic woman, you've truly brought honor to our kingdom! Haha..."

  "Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty." Liu Xuelan's face flushed with embarrassment.

  "We ask you, how old are you this year, and have you been married?"

  "Replying to Your Majesty, I am twenty years old this year and my family has already arranged a marriage for me."

  Upon hearing this, Xia Gao's eyes dimmed slightly, as if somewhat disappointed.

  He caught a glimpse of the white heart and almost lost his smile. I guess he still doesn't know about the matter between Xue Lian and Feng De Wang? Maybe he knows, but not necessarily recognizes Xue Lian. If he knew that the girl in front of him, who looks like a doll, had something to do with his son, I estimate the emperor's expression would be very interesting...

  Perhaps it was because Xia Gaotai was very satisfied with Liu Xuelan's performance, and she actually rewarded Liu Xuelan with a jade-inlaid treasure sword on the spot. Instantly, it made everyone present envy her.

  Just as Liu Xue Lan had finished her performance and returned to her seat, while others who were eager to show off had not yet come out, a charming figure suddenly appeared from somewhere and walked into the center of the banquet hall.

  "Your Majesty, I, a woman from Jinling Country, am willing to offer my talents and humbly wish the Emperor a long and prosperous life."

  Today, Xia Gao's face maintained a smile, seemingly less serious and more amiable. Looking at the beautiful woman walking out, Xia Gao slightly narrowed his eyes and asked with a faint smile: "I wonder what talents does Princess Zi Ya have?"

  "Your Majesty, I, Zi Ya, am willing to perform a dance for you and the esteemed ministers. However..."

  When she heard that even the tribute was still being sold, Xia Gao slightly furrowed his brow: "What's more?" To show his amiability, he suppressed the small displeasure in his heart and asked amicably, "Princess Zi Ya, what is it that you want to say?"

  "However, Ziya wants to find someone who is skilled in music to collaborate with him. I wonder if Your Majesty would approve?"

  As soon as she spoke, the crowd below suddenly burst into an uproar. Could it be that the princess of Jinling's dance skills were so divine and enchanting? Was she able to harmonize with anyone who played the zither?

  Even Xia Gao's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance. This was still the first time he had heard such an unrestrained talent.

  "Alright. I wonder which person the princess wants to pair up with for the performance?"

  Jinzi Ya pursed her lips, but smiled silently. In the palace, she was elegant and refined, with a noble and dignified demeanor, plus an appearance that could be described as stunningly beautiful, leaving many people in awe.

  She, dazzling like a jewel, took in the stunned gazes of everyone around her, and with her chin held high, walked gracefully towards Bai Xinzhen and his group.

  "I've heard that the Crown Prince's musical skills are unparalleled, earning him the reputation of being the number one talent in Shu Xia Kingdom. I wonder if I'll be fortunate enough to invite the Crown Prince to perform together with me today?"

  Upon hearing this, everyone else didn't have much of a reaction, but Bai Xinyan reacted the most strongly.

  Not only was he furious in his heart, but his face was also shocked beyond recognition.

  How could she not know her husband had such talent?

  Even outsiders know his talents and specialties, but as his wife, she knows nothing about it. Should we say that she didn't take the effort to understand him or should we say that he hid too deeply?

  This princess is even more outrageous and actually steals someone in public!

  Can you be more shameless?

  Looking at his own woman's pale face, even the hand placed under the table was quietly clenched, and the joints of her fingers were white. Yan Mo Yu Jun's face sank, his dark eyes became deep and silent, a hint of coldness quickly burst out from his eyes, instantly making the atmosphere on this side extremely cold.

  He stretched out his hand, and under the table, he grasped Bai Xin's small hand in his palm. He raised his eyes, and with a cold gaze, stared straight at the woman opposite him, saying in a chilly tone: "This king's musical skills are mediocre, and it has been many years since I last played the zither. Please, Your Highness, find someone else to accompany you."

  "Prince..." Jinzi Ya's face looked a bit unsightly, she hadn't expected that in front of so many people, this man would actually refuse him.

  As he gazed at the woman with a gentle look in his eyes, Jinzi Ya narrowed her eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed through her beautiful eyes.

  She suppressed her emotions, a smile forced out of the corner of her mouth as she looked at Bai Xinyan: "His Highness Cheng Wang is one of the top talents in Shu Xia country, and being able to match with him, I suppose the literary talent of the Crown Princess must be extraordinary. I wonder if Ziyue has the good fortune to collaborate with the Crown Princess?"

  A commotion broke out again in the banquet hall. Everyone knew that Princess Cheng was once a deaf and mute fool who couldn't hear or speak, and had grown up deep in the mountains. It was already surprising that such a woman could live normally, where did she get her talents from?

  Even Xia Gao on the dragon chair slightly furrowed his thick eyebrows, and a hint of displeasure appeared in his eyes.

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xin's shoulders trembled with rage. She lifted her head and showed off her pale face, coldly staring at Jinzi Ya: "This princess is not an actress reborn, why must she have such talents?"

  As soon as she said this, not only did Jinziya turn pale, but those who wanted to show off also revealed a few points of embarrassment.

  She cast a cold eye over all the reactions, and Bai Xiner felt secretly pleased in her heart. I'm going to scold you all!

  Let you watch the show!

  In ancient times, only actors and dancing girls would perform for people left and right. You, a princess, dress more extravagantly than the most beautiful woman in the village, who else should I scold if not you!

  Jinzi Ya bit her lower lip, making an effort to recall the moisture in her eyes, and composed herself before asking Bai Xincheng with a proud tone: "I heard that Your Highness has an extraordinary skill. I wonder what kind of extraordinary skill you excel at? Is it zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry or music?"

  Bai Xin took a deep breath, it seemed that this woman had made up her mind to humiliate her today!

  Well, in that case, don't blame her for being impolite!

  It's good that I had prepared myself in advance!

  She raised her head, coldly gazing at the woman opposite who was waiting for her to make a fool of herself. The corners of her lips curled up as she said: "The queen is completely ignorant of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, as well as poetry and literature. What, does the princess think that the queen is utterly useless?"

  Upon hearing this, Jinziya suddenly froze, seemingly not expecting her to so bluntly acknowledge her own shortcomings.

  For Bai Xinzhu, her former image as a waste had long been deeply rooted in people's minds, and she didn't need to hide anything at all. What's the point of openly admitting it? Would anyone dare scold her in this situation?

  To be honest, she really wishes someone would scold her in public, but she dares to guarantee that no one dares!

  This marriage was bestowed by the Emperor himself, scolding her is equivalent to scolding the Emperor for being blind, anyone who dares can come out and try, let's see who dies faster!

  Just as Baixin Ranyue had thought, her frank acknowledgement and counter-question left Jinzi Ya momentarily speechless.

  To be honest, that was clearly a slap in the face to the emperor. No matter what she did, it was impossible for her to cause trouble in someone else's place. If this got out, not only would she lose face, but so would her country.

  But if you don't tell the truth, it seems that you are intentionally humiliating this woman, and others will think she is cruel and won't even let go of a useless person.

  Looking at her constipated face, Bai Xincheng let out a cold hum in front of everyone, not hiding his disgusted expression at all.

  "Your Highness, don't feel embarrassed to answer. Although I, the queen, am indeed useless and not worthy of respect, not even qualified to be a queen. But I think I still have some good qualities, not as despicable as you think."

  Everyone in the hall was staring at her with unblinking eyes, their gazes shining with unspeakable curiosity, as if they all wanted to see what this legendary good-for-nothing would do.

  Even Kanako Yashiro's eyes widened in some disbelief.

  Before she could even ask what White Heart Stain was going to do, he pulled out a white object from his sleeve and slapped it onto the table in front of him with a "slap".

  "Look, everyone! This is my talent!"

  "Ah——"

  "Ah——"

  "Ah——"

  “……”

  Just as a severed palm was slapped on the table, suddenly, there were cries of surprise in the hall, one after another, more lively than the silk and bamboo music.

  Among the hundreds of people in the hall, there were hardly a few who didn't change their faces.

  Including Xia Gao, they all changed their faces, their eyes filled with horror and anger. However, looking at his son standing beside Bai Xiner with an unchanged expression, he gritted his teeth and temporarily endured it.

  Kaneko Masao let out a scream and retreated several steps in succession, almost falling over in embarrassment.

  She swept her gaze across everyone's faces, a cold smile spreading across her face as she stood up: "Everyone, I'm just a country village girl, and in terms of talent, I'm definitely not on the same level as the ladies present here. So you don't need to keep reminding me that I'm useless, or else I'll think you're humiliating me. If it's like that, then don't blame White Xin Ran for harboring hatred towards all of you."

  I don't have any big hobbies, I just like to collect other people's severed limbs. I especially enjoy dissecting them and turning them into specimens that I can display in my home for appreciation. Don't believe me? I can show you all my skills right now...

  "Ah, you've all seen this palm, it's my most treasured possession. And I also have..." As she spoke, she reached into her sleeve and pulled out a white ear.

  "This ear is arguably the most perfect ear, whether in shape or size, it's the most delicate. If there are friends you like on the scene, I can give it to him as a souvenir on the spot."

  She paused, then bowed her head and took out two round objects from her beautiful waistband and placed them in the palm of her hand. At this moment, she had a gentle smile on her face that she had never had before, facing everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, these eyeballs are my most prized collection, today I have the opportunity to meet the Princess of Jinling, here, I would like to give these eyeballs to Her Highness as a token of my friendship."

  The people in the hall had long been shocked, with eyes wide open and more frightened than if they had seen a ghost. They stared not only at Bai Xinzhu's outstretched hand but also from head to toe, as if guessing that she would pull out even more shocking things from somewhere.

  It turns out that the banquet hall is not small, although people who are slightly far away in the back can't see clearly, but for some reason, Bai Xinzhu's voice pierces through everyone's eardrums, and for a moment, no one is not shocked, no one is not frightened.

  That golden boy was already scared out of his wits, and when he heard that Bai Xincheng was going to give her so many things, he suddenly became terrified and took two steps back. However, this time his legs were weak and he couldn't stand firm, and with a "thud" he fell flat on his back, his beautiful eyes staring in terror, the rouge on his face seemingly scared off.

  "You, you, you don't come over——ah——"

  Watching Bai Xincai holding a handful of eyeballs, Jinziya suddenly covered her head and screamed.

  "How dare you!" Suddenly, a stern voice came over.

  Bai Xin turned her head and looked back, only to see Xia Gao suddenly slap the table and stand up, his face filled with anger.

  "Your Majesty!" A cold voice followed immediately.

  Everyone came back to their senses and stared at Cheng Wang's tall figure walking towards the woman behind him.

  "Your Majesty, the Empress's actions were proposed by me." The low voice echoed in the grand hall.

  Xia Gao glared at him angrily: "Nonsense! Look at her, her, her..." But then he didn't know what to say after the word 'her'.

  He knew that this woman had some tricks up her sleeve, but he didn't expect her to pull off such a shocking and thrilling move in such an important occasion.

  Yan Mo's face was tense, his half-closed black eyes coldly meeting the gaze of the person above, "Your Majesty, my wife only brought out her treasured items for people to admire, is there anything wrong with that? Moreover, these were selected by me to help her, if Your Majesty thinks she shouldn't have done so, then please punish me and spare my wife's innocent actions."

  "......?!?" Xia Gao covered his chest, almost vomiting blood.

  He hasn't even said a word yet!

  Are they too much?!

  Especially when he heard Yan Mo Yu's title and self-proclaimed name, Xia Gao felt that his breathing was a bit unsmooth.

  Does he really want to cut ties with his own son?!

  Gritting his teeth, he didn't say another word and sat back in the dragon chair, glaring at the couple with anger.

  But Jinziya originally thought that Xiagao would come to her rescue, and was secretly delighted that Xiagao would scold Bai Xinyan, and might even use the excuse of "desecrating the dragon's authority" to have that disgusting woman dragged out and executed. But unexpectedly, Cheng Wang simply stood up and said a few words, causing Xiagao to suddenly fall silent.

  Watching the woman walking step by step closer to him, Jinziya sat on the ground and kept backing away.

  "You, you, you don't come over - someone's coming - someone's coming"

  Everyone looked at her with disdain. What kind of person is this? Even the emperor himself didn't make a sound, who dares to come?!

  "Princess, my wife and I are just like old times with you. Take this pair of eyes as a gift, although they're not worth much money, but absolutely the rarest thing in the world, even a thousand gold coins can't buy it." Behind him, a man blocked the way, and Bai Xintong only turned around when he walked closer to Jinziya with a proud yet gentle smile.

  "Obey the princess!" Suddenly, another voice came, also filled with anger.

  This time, Bai Xin didn't even lift his head, not giving any face at all.

  "Does the Imperial Concubine have something to discuss with the Emperor? She might as well tell me." His face was cold, and a chill flashed in his eyes.

  "Presumptuous! This is the emperor's birthday, and you dare to be so insolent?!" The Golden Imperial Consort's face was filled with anger, as if she were taking up for Xia Gao.

  "My queen, I don't understand. My wife and I are taking out our treasured collection to show the crowd, and with a heavy heart, we want to give it away as a gift. What's wrong with that? There are countless people in this world, each with their own interests, can't others collect rare treasures while others collect human organs? Even in my Shu Xia kingdom, there doesn't seem to be such a law." The low and cold voice filled the grand hall, paused for a moment, before Yan Mo continued, "By the way, I'd like to inform everyone that these human organs weren't obtained by my wife and me killing people at will. They were from a concubine in our household who broke the rules and was punished accordingly."

  Everyone present was even more shocked and stunned by his words.

  Especially those women who still had thoughts about me, after hearing these words, others would not have any affectionate thoughts, and it was only a matter of time before they vomited on the spot.

  Is it that all these things were done by the Crown Prince's order to the Crown Princess?

  If it's really like this, who would dare marry into the Cheng Wang Fu in the future?

  "You, you, you..." The imperial concubine Jin was so angry that her whole body was trembling.

  "Shut up!" Suddenly, Xia Gao glared at her with a face full of disgust, "Jin Guifei, I am here, when did it become your turn to speak?"

  Upon hearing this, Jin Guifei's face turned pale and her beautiful eyes were instantly filled with tears.

  "Your Majesty...... I, your concubine......" With a 'thud', she knelt down in front of Xia Gao.

  "You dare to speak more, be careful I'll dismiss you!" As for her grievances, Xia Gao deliberately ignored them. He only knew that it was all because of this woman's good deeds!

  If she hadn't suggested making Princess Ziya a concubine of the Crown Prince, none of this would have happened.

  Now it's not just his son who is at odds with him, but he also appears to be absolutely ruthless.

  If things go on like this, won't all his previous efforts be in vain?!

  He couldn't bear to scold his own son, but she actually reprimanded him in public!

  Watching her aunt being scolded by the emperor, Jinziya immediately shed tears. Who can help her now?

  "Princess, won't you please accept it? Is the gift not enough? If it's not enough, I'll send another long-legged one to the princess tomorrow. What do you think?" Bai Xinyan continued to smile warmly, but the cold intent in her eyes made people feel a chill.

  "Auntie... save me..." As if she could no longer bear such a shocking scene, Jinzi Ya suddenly cried out loud.

  At this moment, Jin Guifei was threatened by Xia Gao, and she herself felt that her own life was in danger. She didn't dare to say another word, kneeling at Xia Gao's feet with her head not daring to lift up.

  But at this moment, a certain man seemed not enough, suddenly his expression changed, and he coldly said to Jinziya: "My wife and I treated the princess so well, even painfully gave up our treasure to give it to you, but you refused to accept it. Princess, do you have us, husband and wife, in your eyes? Do you have my Shuxia country in your eyes?"
