The Emperor's Favored Daughter Has Arrived

  The attention of the people in the hall was immediately drawn to Baili Cheng's shouting, and after their astonishment, they secretly applauded his words. With a former soldier daring to speak out against Baili Siqing, who had previously been too angry to speak, why not take pleasure in it?

  Baili Cheng, who is only seventeen years old now, has no power to compete for the throne and is completely in a state of being raised by the royal family. His immature personality is not very sensible even in the midst of intrigue. He bit an apple in his mouth, expressing his dissatisfaction with Baili Siqing, and his heart was also eager to seek justice for Duan Fei, who had taken care of him since childhood.

  "It's really strange, did Seventh Brother see me giving a dirty look to Consort Duan?"

  Baili Siqing looked at him with a calm and clear expression, without any emotional entanglement. "Did I say something wrong? What business is it of others where I went, what I did, and who I was with? Empress Duan has no time to spare from managing the inner palace, why must she focus her energy on me?"

  Baili Cheng was choked by her words, a mouthful of fruit pulp stuck in his throat, unable to swallow or spit it out. Before long, his face turned bright red from being stifled.

  "Why must Eighth Princess be so unfeeling? Who in the palace doesn't know that Her Majesty is most concerned about you? Moreover, Her Majesty is also a senior, and yet you..." Baili Nian's lips were bitten, her delicate face mixed with a hint of resentment and nine parts hidden endurance, making Baili Siqing's disdainful gaze even more pronounced.

  Yu Guang couldn't help but secretly glance at Chu Liyue in front of him, her aggrieved profile even more endearingly pitiful.

  Chen Gonggong discontentedly swung his legs back and forth, constrained by the occasion, he didn't dare to climb onto the masters' heads even if he was unhappy.

  Ni Mei Ren, who was suddenly struck by the noble blow of the legitimate princess outside Bao Yi Palace, suddenly smiled and said: "I had heard that Princess Gao Yang was straightforward in temperament, and today I see that it is indeed true to its reputation."

  Ba Li Si Qing followed the sound and looked over, raising an eyebrow and saying: "Who are you again?"

  Ni Mei Ren pinched her handkerchief, and her face turned pale instantly.

  Xiang Yong's concubine smiled and replied on her behalf: "In response to Princess Gao Yang, this is Nee Mei Ren."

  Ba Li Si Qing turned away with a smile, and the tranquil Emperor Jing An smiled faintly, "I haven't even had time to congratulate Your Majesty on acquiring so many beauties."

  Her eyes did not contain disdain and contempt, like a clear spring pouring out.

  The face of Emperor Jing'an flashed a hint of embarrassment.

  Ni Mei Ren caught the emperor's abnormality, and inexplicably exchanged glances with Xi Jie Yu. What's wrong? Does Your Majesty also need to consider his own daughter when taking a concubine?

  Chu Lianyue's face was as soft as warm jade, and she quietly gazed at Baili Shichen across from her, not getting involved in the turmoil within the palace.

  The festive atmosphere that should have been filled with laughter and cheer suddenly turned cold, Baili Cheng was choked to the point of being out of breath, the attending palace maid was so frightened that she hurriedly stepped forward to pat his back and help him catch his breath.

  After spitting out the fruit pulp from his throat, his bright red face seemed to be filled with blood, and his angry eyes showed that he was in a bad mood under the gaze of everyone.

  Baili Qingyue said carelessly, "Even eating an apple can choke you, Seventh Brother should be careful."

  "You——"

  "Alright!" Emperor Jing'an suppressed his smile and warned, "You're not afraid of making a fool of yourself in front of the Second Prince of Jin?"

  "The Seventh Prince and Princess Gaoyang are both true in nature, Li Wei humbly admits he is not as good as them."

  Chu Li Yao smiled slightly and raised his cup, breaking the coldness of the Qingfeng Hall. "This cup is for Your Majesty, thank you for your hospitality."

  Jing'an Emperor was as stable as a mountain, "The second prince is polite."

  Mr. Chen immediately refilled the empty cup in front of him.

  After the two men finished drinking, Chu Li Yao rolled up his sleeves and poured himself another cup. He then turned to Baili Si Qing and smiled warmly, saying: "This cup is for Your Highness."

  Baili Siqing turned the white jade cup in his hand, and a hint of coldness flashed through his eyes. "Oh? I wonder what reason the Second Prince has for toasting me?"

  She asked lightly with a cloud-like expression, her pitch-black eyes containing an intense color that others couldn't understand. With just one spark from him, it could illuminate the world of humans.
