The almighty crazy concubine is tough on the audience, and the prince passes the knife behind him

Hall of Stars

Facing the civil and military officials of the two countries, Emperor Daxing and Emperor Jiahe became humble to each other again.

Baili Changyao gave Li Chengjing enough face and asked him to sit on the high platform with him.

After a grand-sounding welcome speech, Baili Changyao announced the wedding date of Li Beimo and Cheng Qingqing.

After listening, the ministers of the two countries stood up and congratulated each other, pushing the atmosphere of the banquet to its climax.

Prime Minister Daxingnan said: "Your Majesty, Princess Qian'an is about to get married, but His Highness the Crown Prince has not yet been engaged. There are many ladies attending today. How about choosing a Crown Princess for His Highness the Crown Prince today?"

Hearing this, the ministers looked at Baili Yi with hot eyes.

Especially ministers who have daughters at home, they spend a lot of money to train their daughters, just waiting for this day.

This is the emperor's only son! Daxing has the second highest status. Not only is he talented and knowledgeable, but he is also extremely handsome. However, he is very self-sufficient and does not approach women. He is almost 17 years old and there is not even a palace maid by his side.

If their daughter could marry the prince and rise through the ranks, becoming a powerful figure in Daxing, becoming a very popular minister, the family's ancestral graves would be filled with smoke.

"Well, what Nan Aiqing said is absolutely true."

Baili Changyao nodded and scanned the hall with his majestic eyes, taking in the expressions of everyone.

Finally, he looked at Baili Yi and said, "Prince, you have reached the age to get engaged. Why don't you choose a princess today?"

Baili Yi was talking to Li Beimo and Pei Zhiran when he suddenly heard his father calling his name, so he had to put down his cup and stand up.

"Father, my son is still young. Now he just wants to learn from the master how to govern the country and be safe. In the future, he will become a wise king like you. Besides, I haven't found the girl I like yet. I want to wait two years before talking about it. , I hope my father will fulfill my wish."

"Well, since I don't have a girl I like yet, let's wait for another two years." Baili Changyao said.

Choosing a princess for your son is related to the happiness of his life. You must choose carefully, rather than just blindly choose one in the main hall.

"Thank you, Father!" Bailiyi cupped his hands again and sat down again.

"This..." The officials looked at each other. They couldn't understand the emperor's family?

Isn’t it generally true that the selection of a princess depends on family background and appearance? Their daughter can be said to be the best in the world. She is not only beautiful, dignified and elegant, but also has outstanding literary talents. She is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is definitely a perfect match for the prince.

Seeing that Prime Minister Nan was still standing still, Baili Changyao's face suddenly became unhappy, "Nan Aiqing, what other objections do you have?"

"Wei Chen has no objection!" Prime Minister Nan shook his head and had no choice but to sit down.

The prince is just capricious, but the emperor actually condones him? And the Queen doesn’t care, so what else can he say?

It seems that the prince is just like the emperor, a lover, which is definitely not a good thing for an emperor.

"Let's sing and dance!"

The wind instruments played, singing and dancing took place, and the prince's choice of concubine was settled.

The ministers were disappointed again. It seemed that if they wanted their daughter to marry the prince, they would have to find another way.

The banquet was only half an hour old. Cheng Ying was already four and a half months pregnant, so she felt a little uncomfortable after not sitting for long.

"Queen, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Baili Changyao felt her discomfort and couldn't help but worry, "Are you tired from sitting? I'll send you back to Chengde Hall to rest first!"

"No, just ask Fu Suyun and the others to send my concubine back." Cheng Ying shook her head at him. Emperor Jiahe was here, how could he be asked to leave now?

"That's fine." Baili Changyao helped her up and walked around the table.

"Your Majesty! Let me come!" Aunt Fu and Aunt Yun picked up Cheng Ying and helped her carefully walk down the steps.

Seeing that she was leaving, everyone in the hall stood up to see her off.

"I respectfully send you off to the Queen!"

"No courtesy!" Cheng Yingwei nodded.

Cheng Qingqing used her mind to send a message to Ling Batian, asking him to secretly protect his mother and return to Chengde Hall.

Today is a palace banquet. There are many people entering the palace, so be careful.

Admittedly, she was right to worry.

Not long after Cheng Ying left, Ling Batian's urgent voice came back, "Master, if you find a suspicious person, come quickly..."

Cheng Qingqing stood up suddenly, and her body turned into a stream of light and flashed out of the Star Reaching Hall.

"Qing Qing..." When Li Beimo saw this, he quickly ducked to follow without thinking.

Less than a quarter of an hour ago, after Cheng Ying left the Star Reaching Tower, Zhen Ming led a group of imperial guards to send her back to Chengde Hall, while Ling Batian returned to his original form and stood on Cheng Ying's shoulders.

She didn't walk very fast, and when she was walking slowly halfway, she met several official ladies who came out for some fresh air.

When these official ladies saw the queen, they naturally wanted to come up to greet the queen. They stopped about five feet away from Cheng Ying and said in unison: "My lord, I pay my respects to the queen. May you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"

Ling Batian looked at these women and suddenly realized that something was wrong with one of the women. He quickly sent a message to Cheng Qingqing, but the woman had already taken action. She suddenly flew towards Cheng Ying and stabbed her stomach with the dagger hidden under her sleeve. Stab it.

Because the distance was too close and too sudden, no one could react. Cheng Ying subconsciously protected her abdomen with her hands.

Zhen Ming, Fu and Yun all turned pale with fright and screamed.

"The Queen Mother..."

However! The moment the woman approached Cheng Ying, she was knocked away by an invisible force.

"boom--"

The woman was knocked two feet away.

Zhen Ming reacted quickly, drew his sword and flew to follow him, stabbing him with his sword.

But the person rolling on the ground suddenly disappeared.

"No, protect the Queen quickly!"

Zhen Ming quickly ducked back to Cheng Ying, and the imperial guards quickly protected Cheng Ying on three levels inside and outside.

Ling Batian didn't dare to catch up, and looked around vigilantly, "It's Si Wenchang's Golden Shadow Guard, everyone, be careful!"

After a while, Cheng Qingqing arrived. Seeing the battle from a distance, her heart suddenly lifted.

But when he saw his mother being protected by the imperial guards, he felt relieved and asked, "What's going on?"

"The master is from the Golden Shadow Guard. He should not have left yet." Ling Batian told her.

Cheng Qingqing opened her eyes and observed the surroundings carefully for a while. Then she suddenly pulled out a guard's sword and walked into a field of flowers and plants nearby.

She walked to a pile of slightly raised soil, suddenly raised her sword and stabbed it down.

This piece of land was often watered and turned over by the palace people. The ground was not very hard. The entire sword was submerged in the soil and only the hilt was exposed.

She held the hilt of the sword with both hands and twisted it hard before pulling the sword out.

"Someone, dig this place out for me, princess!" she ordered.

"Yes!"

Zhen Ming responded and asked people to find tools for digging.

Li Beimo came over and saw blood on the tip of the sword she was holding, "Damn it! There may be an accomplice, be careful!"

These people are really pervasive. Something happens at every palace banquet. However, the palace gate is so strictly controlled and everyone has to verify their identity when they come in. How did these Golden Shadow Guards sneak in?
