The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

The magnificent Jinluan Hall has bright lights, illuminating every exquisite silverware. The carved wooden utensils in the hall are more mysterious under the light and shadow.

The ministers stood in front of the long table, all their eyes followed the footsteps of the old emperor, and they all spoke:

"See Your Majesty."

The old emperor walked to the dragon chair and looked through the tassels dangling on his crown at the ministers below who bowed their heads and saluted him.

His eyes swept across the important ministers, and finally lingered twice on the prince and Gu Chengfeng before looking back.

"Your Majesty, no courtesy." He spread out his hands, and his arms were almost perpendicular to the wide sleeves of his robe. Looking from the bottom up, the old emperor at this moment actually gave people the illusion of dominating the world.

However, this is just an illusion.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the ceremony, the important ministers sat down one after another and looked up at the aloof old emperor.

The old emperor's eyes were always fixed on the prince.

Helianjue did not look at the old emperor, and his face showed no expression at all. He was slapped by the old emperor at dusk, and his cheeks were still a little swollen at this moment.

The old emperor's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but trouble Helian Jue before the palace banquet even started.

"The prince looks unhappy?"

Helian Jue did not expect that the old emperor would suddenly ask this question. He was stunned for a moment, turned to look at the old emperor, and met the old emperor's unkind eyes.

In the past, he would have definitely found a way to dispel the old emperor's suspicion and dislike of him, but today it was no longer necessary.

However, he still had to maintain the superficial peace and not lose the big for the small.

Helianjue slowly lowered his head.

"I'm not unhappy at all. How could I be unhappy when I can have a dinner party with my father on New Year's Eve?"

The old emperor stared at Lord Helian with a sinister look.

The Jinluan Palace was filled with a suffocating and gloomy low pressure. This low pressure made the ministers dare not even breathe out, for fear of upsetting the emperor and transferring their anger to themselves.

After a long time, the old emperor said:

"It's best if you're not unhappy. Since you are a prince, you must understand the responsibilities of being a prince. The annual Spring Festival cannot be ruined just because of your own mood. The prince is not that easy to be, and you should seek your best in his position." Politics, I don’t need to emphasize this principle again and again, right?”

The old emperor's unprovoked verbal attack showed everyone that the old emperor had a strong opinion of the prince.

In front of many ministers, he did not give any face to the prince. This approach also showed the emperor's narrow-mindedness.

The prince nodded in agreement without a word of rebuttal, and seemed to have returned to the cowardly self he was before.

Gu Chengfeng's hands on his legs were clenched tightly, and anger was boiling in his chest. If you look closely at his cheeks, you will find that his back molars are clenched extremely tightly, but there is no flaw in his face.

Gu Chengfeng raised his eyelids and glanced upward at the old emperor, just in time to see the old emperor's proud expression after humiliating the prince.

This look not only lacked the magnanimity of a superior, but also made Gu Chengfeng feel that the old emperor was not only stupid, but also incompetent as a human being.

In his position to pursue his own affairs?Fortunately, he could say it, and he didn't ask himself whether he had done it.

Gu Chengfeng no longer went to see the old emperor. The old emperor was already a grasshopper after autumn and could not jump around for much longer.

He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. The heat from the tea blurred the faint murderous intent in his eyes.

Taifu Lu Bohui, Minister of Punishment Lu Yusheng, Shangshu Yun Yanfu of Ministry of Finance, and Minister of Punishment Zhou Mingde all glanced at the old emperor, sneered in their hearts, lowered their heads and pretended not to hear anything.

They are patient enough for dying people.

Jinluan Palace fell into a long silence again, without any joy of New Year's Eve.

Seeing that his ministers were being treated obediently by him, the old emperor was satisfied and felt that his authority was still as brilliant as ever.

As everyone knows, the ministers below are not afraid of his authority, but they just don't want to break their layout at the critical moment.

The entire court was divided into three factions, namely the eldest prince, the second prince and the prince.

The goal of these three factions is to bring down the old emperor. Seeing that the old emperor feels good about himself, the officials only feel ridiculous.

The old emperor's unhappiness was almost vented, and the palace banquet finally began.

The singer and dancer Le Ji began to perform in the center of the hall. The old emperor was leaning on the throne, drinking wine, enjoying the singing and dancing, and gently beating the rhythm with his hands, looking so leisurely and enjoying it.

Although the cultural relic ministers were staring at the dancing girl in front of them, their minds were thinking about tonight's plan.

Time passed bit by bit, and it was almost midnight when there was still one stick of incense left, and tonight's singing and dancing was coming to an end.

At this moment, the old emperor had eaten and drank enough, his cheeks were red, and he looked drunk but not drunk.

At this moment, a muffled sound suddenly came from the horizon.

"Boom" sound.

Looking out the window again, the window paper suddenly shone.

"what?"

"Ok?"

Everyone in the Jinluan Hall was attracted by the sound of exploding firecrackers, and all turned their heads to look in the direction of the window.

It seems that it’s not even midnight yet, why are the firecrackers set off first?

The sound of firecrackers made the old emperor wake up a little. He still leaned on the dragon chair. Although he was confused, he didn't take it seriously.

"It should be that the people in the city couldn't help but let it go."

Ministers: "......"

wrong.

The location where the palace was built is far away from where ordinary people live. The fireworks just now were so loud and bright that they could illuminate the window paper of Jinluan Palace. It was obvious that they were set off near the palace.

The palace has strict rules. Who dares to set off fireworks without permission before midnight?

It can't be that simple.

Huge fireworks exploded in the sky, extremely gorgeous, but they soon withered.

Jinluan Hall continued to sing and dance, but Gu Chengfeng's mind was no longer on this.

Something strange happened in his heart.

Their plan was to act when the first fireworks went off.

But the time for the fireworks was set off by a stick of incense.

The accident happened so suddenly, what Gu Chengfeng was most worried about was that the person they had arranged in advance would take action before the time came.

If the fireworks just now were an illusion released by the eldest prince or the second prince, their people would definitely not act at this time. And if their people don't know the truth, they will probably act based on the fireworks and be exposed in advance.

What Gu Chengfeng thought of, the prince, the tutor and others all thought of it.

They wanted to leave the Jinluan Palace immediately, but if they left now, they would be even more vulnerable.

Not only the prince and others were anxious, but also the eldest prince He Lianzheng.

The time he planned was also midnight, but he didn't expect that the time was advanced.

The only one who was calm and composed was He Lianhuan.

He held the tea cup and sipped the tea leisurely, his eyes always falling on the dancing girl. It seemed that the dancing girl's dance was very suitable to his liking.

In fact, he has no interest at all in pastimes such as singing and dancing.

His emotions can be called cold, and all his enthusiasm is used in fighting for the throne.

With his smart, calm and analytical mind, he could see the eldest prince and the crown prince's affairs very thoroughly.

Since they took the first fireworks as a signal, he arranged for people to set off fireworks in advance, disrupting their plans and pitting their people against each other.
