yúnjǐng's lips curled into a smile, his voice as warm and gentle as jade, "Hmm, I'm awake. I'm sorry to have worried Tángtáng so much."Liu Langzhong, upon first seeing this type of ink cloud scene, wa...At that moment, Fu'er outside the main hall heard An Xuetang's voice. She instinctively wanted to rush in, but Ning'er held her back.

"Ning'er, what are you doing Didn't you hear the princess's words She seems to have been bullied!"

Ninger curled her lips and shook her head with a smile, "Don't worry, the princess is fine."

But...

With the Northern Frontier King here, do you think the Princess Consort could be bullied

Fu'er frowned, still a little puzzled. "But why would the Princess say such things"

Ning'er raised an eyebrow, looking at Fu'er meaningfully. "Even you believe the princess's words, think about those civil and military officials, what do you think they would be thinking right now"

Fu'er's brain was slow to catch on in these matters, so she lowered her head and began to ponder.

While standing beside them, Yun Liu elbowed Ning'er and whispered softly, "Ning'er, you are truly clever. I almost fell for the princess's acting just now as well."

Ning'er raised her head and gave him a withering glance, calmly spitting out a single word, "Stupid!"

"...."

Yunliu was upset, and Fu'er didn't see how she wouldn't say Fu'er was stupid. How did it get to her that he was the stupid one

He refuses to accept it!

When he still wanted to argue with Ning'er, Ning'er put her finger to her lips, signaling him to be quiet.

She continued to listen intently to the sounds from the main hall, though she couldn't hear very clearly, she could still make out An Xue Tang reprimanding Mo Yun Ze.

An Xuetang was indeed scolding Mo Yunze at this moment. She opened her mouth and didn't give Mo Yunze a chance to explain at all.

Mo Yunze was amused by her anger. He was helped up and brushed the dust off his clothes.

An Xue Tang's eyes were filled with tears, she looked pitiful. He couldn't help but shake his head and look at Mo Yun Jing, "Fifth brother, letting a woman talk nonsense to protect you, will your face still be able to hold up"

An Xuetang sneered, "The Fourth Prince spoke disrespectfully to his younger siblings. I wonder who he learned that from. If his face were made into a winter-proof garment, it might be comfortable enough to get through the cold."

Mo Yunze laughed angrily, "An Xuetang, you..."

"Mo Yunze, is there anything else you want to say Do you intend to declare your feelings for this concubine in front of all the civil and military officials You have no shame! This concubine has some dignity!"

An Xuetang interrupted his words, not giving him any chance to interject and continued to scold, "You are a prince, but your behavior is worse than pigs and dogs."

"Although I, An Xuetang, do not have a powerful family backing me, I am still the Princess Consort of Beijang王府. Although I may not be particularly skilled, I have helped the imperial court capture Dà Yuè Country."

"As the fourth prince, you are a member of the imperial court. It's fine if you don't acknowledge my accomplishments, but this is too much! People will think that you, as the fourth prince, have never seen a woman before and are just acting impulsively upon seeing me!"

"Alas, this noble consort's heart can only hold my Northern Border King. I have no feelings whatsoever for other treacherous villains!"

After finishing, she turned to face the civil and military officials, "Today, the emperor said that he invited this concubine here to bestow gifts. Now, this concubine has been spoken to so rudely by a Fourth Prince. If this is the emperor's gift to this concubine, then this concubine humbly declines."

After saying that, An Xuetang took Mo Yunjing's hand and pretended to leave. At this moment, the emperor who had been hiding all along finally appeared!

An Xuetang's unnoticeable smirk curled up, she finally came out at this time

The eunuch's voice came first, "The Emperor has arrived～"

Suddenly, the people whispering to each other changed color and knelt down to pay their respects.

"Long live the Emperor, ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand thousand years!"

While Mo Yunjing and An Xue Tang bowed slightly with their hands clasped, they did not perform a full kneeling bow.

The emperor sat expressionlessly on the dragon throne, his eyes scanning Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang thoughtfully. After a moment of silence, he spoke, "All esteemed officials, you may rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After everyone else stood up, An Xuetang remained standing straight with an impassive face.

Everyone's eyes were on her, and logically, An Xue Tang should be performing a different kind of greeting to the Emperor at this point.

Kea Snowtang seemed oblivious to this, and Moyun Jing by her side showed no intention of reminding her.

At this time, an eunuch beside the Emperor looked at the Emperor's face and then cleared his throat and said, “Princess of Beijiang, you should pay respects to the Emperor.”

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes, "Your meaning is that what this concubine did just now was improper"

Her tone was aggressive, her voice icy cold, instantly making the speaker's father-in-law embarrassed. He could only look to the emperor.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, he had been sizing up An Xue Tang all along. I have to say, this An Xue Tang's beauty truly surprised him.

Liu's beauty had already amazed him, but he hadn't expected An Xue Tang to be even more beautiful than her.

The emperor's gaze was fixed on An Xue Tang, Mo Yun Jing frowned, the line of his jaw tightened, and his hands clenched slightly.

Mo Yunze naturally saw the emperor's gaze, and he glanced at Mo Yunjing with a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.

Before he could even enjoy his good fortune, An Xuetang suddenly took a step forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, did you invite your concubine into the palace today to humiliate her"

When she spoke, her face was calm, but the accusatory tone of her words made everyone wince for her.

And in their eyes, there was curiosity. How could this princess of Beijang perform like a man

At this moment, the Emperor finally came to his senses. He looked at An Xuetang meaningfully and cleared his throat, "You are An Xuetang"

Yes.

An Xue Tang was not afraid at all. She stared straight at the emperor with unwavering eyes.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, clearly impressed by her boldness. “What do you mean Everyone knows I invited you to the palace today to bestow a gift upon you. When did I insult you An Xuetang, you should be more careful with your words.”

An Xuetang sneered, "Your Majesty, you tacitly approve of the Fourth Prince's insult to your daughter-in-law. Is that not enough", thank you."An Xuetang chuckled, "You're being polite to me now"Mo Yunjing pulled her into his embrace, words failing him for a moment.......At this moment, Mo Jyunyi, who was far away in the norther...
