Bing Ying was secretly surprised.
What was this all about?
Wasn't this little girl a bit too unrestrained?
Nangong Xiu said, ”That's enough! Jinyang! Don't mess around! ”Go to the palace!”
Jin Yang stuck out his tongue and made a face at Bing Ying, threatening: ”Humph! The Emperor knows what he has done to you. Especially Xiao Fei, she was very angry! Today you're dead for sure! ”
Bing Ying was shocked.
Nangong Xiu said, ”Ignore her! This little brat is a nuisance! ”
At this moment, a gorgeous lady walked over leisurely from outside the palace.
”Become an imperial concubine? You came too? ” Nangong Xiu took the initiative to walk over and greet him.
Bing Ying was surprised. ”Who is this woman? Nangong Xiu was always so arrogant that she was the best in the world. She did not even put the emperor in her eyes! Why was he so respectful to this lady? You even took the initiative to run over and greet him? This was too out of character for him! Could he be having an affair with this old woman? ”
”So it's the Fourth Prince.” I am in a hurry to enter the palace, so I won't disturb you any longer. ”
Princess Cheng was a bit absent-minded as she left swiftly.
Bing Ying looked at Jin Yang and said, ”Brat! Do you know who this wangfei is? ”
Jin Yang said, ”You're the little demon! Humph! I won't tell you! ”
Bing Ying laughed, ”I don't think you know either!”
Jin Yang said, ”Who said I didn't know? This princess is big brother Xiu's future wangfei! I know everything! Princess Cheng is the prince's concubine! ”
Bing Ying laughed, ”Then what is her relationship with Nangong Xiu?”
Jin Yang shook his head, ”I don't know either!”
Bingying didn't take Jin Yang's words to heart.
It was just an audience with the Emperor.
The Emperor was just an ordinary man. Could he be more terrifying than the most ruthless, cold-blooded, double-sided agent in the American Bureau of Investigation?
Nangong Xiu brought Bing Ying and went straight to the Emperor of the Violet Myrtle Hall. But Chief Eunuch Zhou Kunnian had said that the Emperor and Imperial Concubine Xiao were waiting for the Fourth Prince and Imperial Concubine at Tranquil Heart Garden. Moreover, Zhou Kun Nian had secretly told Nangong Xiu that the emperor and Xiao Fei already knew about the Beitang Clan's trick of changing a leopard to a crown prince. The emperor couldn't directly punish the crime of the Beitang Clan, but he had vented his anger on the wangfei instead … )
Nangong Xiu sealed two heavy gold ingots. He thanked Zhou Kun Nian and rushed to the Tranquil Heart Garden with Bing Ying.
Tranquil Heart Garden was Consort Xiao's sleeping quarters. In the emperor's Qianyang Palace's back hall, it was just one wall away from the empress's Kunning Palace. Imperial Concubine Xiao and Empress Chen were now the most favored concubines of the emperor. Xiao Fei gave birth to the Second and Fourth Princes, while Empress Chen gave birth to the First Prince.
Tranquil Heart Garden's layout was rather quiet and serene, and one could tell that Imperial Concubine Xiao had quite the demeanor of an Imperial Concubine.
”My unfilial son, Chenxiu, pays my respects to you, father. Mufei. ” When Nangong Xiu saw the emperor and Xiao Fei, he quickly pulled Bing Ying to her knees.
This was the Emperor of the Tianyue Dynasty, Nangong Chen?
Bing Ying knelt on the ground and secretly sized up this man who was over 60 years old. She was still as spry and vigorous as ever, and had the appearance of a dragon!
By his side, Xiao Fei looked like she was in her forties. She was dressed in a noble and young manner, as beautiful as a person from a painting!
Actually, Bing Ying already knew that Xiao Fei would be very beautiful!
Nangong Xiu, this son of his, was so beautiful that he could topple empires. If that were the case, then his mother would definitely be a peerless beauty.
”You are Beitang Bingying?”
The emperor didn't speak, but Xiao Fei stared at Bingying as she asked.
”Yes.”
”Raise your head and take a look.”
”Right.”
Bing Ying raised her head slightly.
Wow! Amazing!
”She is indeed a beautiful lady!” No wonder Soo Soo fell for you! ” Xiao Fei praised.
”Esteemed Empress Xiao truly is a peerless beauty, a beauty capable of toppling empires.” Bing Ying is just a little girl who doesn't know much about the affairs of the world.
”You speak quite well. I ask you, are you the Third Miss or the Fourth Miss? ”
”This …”
Bing Ying was shocked.
This Xiao Fei looked gentle, and didn't have the slightest bit of lethality. However, the first question she asked had caused Bing Ying to fall into despair!
If she answered that she was Third Miss. That would be the crime of deceiving the monarch!
If she answered that she was the Fourth Miss and that she had committed the crime of cheating on the Sovereign, it would be equivalent to admitting that the Beitang Clan did not hesitate to lie to them in order to break the engagement.
No matter how he answered, he would die!
”This... To reply esteemed imperial concubine. Bingying had never had a mother since she was young. Her character was poor and her discipline unruly. It was truly degrading for her family and dignity. Whether it's the third lady, or the fourth lady, Bing Ying did not hurt anyone, nor did she lie to anyone. ”
Xiao Fei suddenly raised her voice, ”Then do you know!? If the people of the world were to find out that my son, a distinguished member of the imperial family, a noble king, had been cheated into marriage, what face would he have left? What face does the Royal Family have? Your Beitang Clan is so powerful because of your meritorious deeds, are you not putting the imperial clan in your eyes? ”
”Esteemed wangfei, actually …” Bing Ying was about to explain.
Nangong Xiu suddenly shouted out coldly, ”Shut up! royal father, mother and concubine, how can you even have the right to speak here? ”
