Lian Ruyue laughed in her heart. The person whom Liu Xi Ren hated in her previous life was not her, but Lian Shiya. It was she who foolishly rushed forward to protect Lian Shiya, and in the end, became her ”mortal enemy”.

She said, ”Third Sister is sick, this kind of occasion isn't with her. My grandmother wouldn't let her come.”

Liu Xi pursed her lips and giggled, ”I already knew that. I heard it was the upper body of a ghost.”

”Miss Liu, if there is no evidence, don't speak carelessly of it. Otherwise, it will ruin the reputation of my Prime Minister's Estate.” Lian Ruyue sat upright and said.

”Hee hee …” Liu Xi smiled and said, ”Alright, I understand. I won't speak carelessly. Don't worry.”

While the two of them were chatting, the seats were gradually filled up. The fourth, sixth, eighth and ninth princes also appeared on the seats opposite them.

When the princes appeared, the female guest area was once again in an uproar. Many noble ladies were whispering to each other about which prince was the most handsome, and which prince had the most beautiful jade hairpin.

As for the men's quarters, some people were calculating in their hearts which king was most likely to succeed the throne, and since the crown prince's demise, the emperor had yet to decide on a candidate to be the crown prince. Some guessed that the emperor had not completely given up on the crown prince, and the crown prince might be reinstated.

In short, the situation in the middle of the court was still as complicated as before. Everyone was treading on thin ice, trembling with fear.

Feng Yunzheng's indifferent gaze seemed to inadvertently flash past Lian Rongyue. She was as pure and beautiful as an ice lotus. Amongst the numerous painstakingly dressed women, she seemed extremely prideful and prideful. His lips revealed a gratified smile.

Lian Ruyue felt the gaze of this gaze, and her gaze lightly swept over, making short contact with him.

”Miss Lian.” At that moment, a soft, intimate voice sounded beside her. She turned her head and said, ”Miss Liu.”

The person sitting next to her was the direct descendant of the Duke of Liu, Liu Yanyu. Her appearance was just like her name – Yan Ruyu.

Liu Yanyu gave her a gentle smile and said:

”I've heard of Princess An Guo mention Miss Lian many times, and I've also heard of your brilliant performance at the princess' chrysanthemum feast. What a pity, that day I just happened to be unwell and wasn't able to go.

Liu Yanyu seemed soft and harmless, friendly and friendly, and she didn't have any offensive power.

Lian Ruyue said, ”Princess, you're too kind.”

”The emperor arrives, the empress arrives!”

Just as they were speaking, they heard the loud and shrill voice of the eunuch, and they immediately kneeled down, shouting —

”Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!”

Lian Ruyue raised her head and looked towards the man who was walking towards a higher position — —

Zhou Chengdi, aged 40-50, dressed in the garb of Sa, with a narrow sleeve and a gold jade tapestry around his waist. His shoulders and chest were embroidered with the pattern of dragons and clouds, and he wore a hat with a gold jade crown, and black boots on his feet.
