The hall was unusually quiet. On the throne, a middle-aged man in a bright yellow dragon robe stared at Ye Nitang, who was walking towards him in silver armor.

His dark eyes were sinister and cold, with a hint of fear and suppressed ecstasy hidden inside.

Ye Nitang was also sizing him up. He was in his fifties, tall and thin, wearing a heavy dragon robe and wearing a monkey hat.

His facial features are similar to those of the fourth prince Xiao Jingxuan, but he is very thin.

The fleshless cheeks are sunken inwards, the bridge of the nose is large and raised, the tip of the nose is hooked downward, and there is a three-inch long sparse black beard on the chin.

His back is slightly stooped, his complexion is gray, but his cheeks are crimson, and his thick lips are especially red.

This is a symptom of over-supplementing, not eating normal meals, blood vessels being blocked, and not being able to keep up with nutrition.

The courtiers in the hall also turned around and looked at Ye Nitang, who was walking forward.

The silver-white armors rubbed and collided with each other as she moved around, making a "click-click" sound, bringing an ultimate sense of oppression to the quiet hall.

The light behind her hit the silver armor, and the refracted halo enveloped her whole body. Coupled with her cold and arrogant eyebrows and her fierce and calm aura, it was as if the god of war from heaven had come to the world.

Looking carefully at her face, the elderly ministers seemed to have seen the return of the flamboyant and dashing eldest princess twenty years ago.

No, this person was more majestic than the eldest princess twenty years ago. There was a faint smile on her lips, but no one saw a trace of pity in her eyes.

She is like a arrogant murderous god, looking down on all living beings, vowing to trample all disobedience under her feet.

Xiao Ji led Ye Nitang to stop in front of everyone, and saluted the person sitting on the dragon chair on the high platform three meters away, "Your Majesty, I have brought my cousin back."

"Greetings to uncle!"

Ye Nitang imitated him and gave a very non-standard salute, which could also be said to be a perfunctory salute.

Then, he stood up straight and said nothing.

It was extremely quiet above the main hall.

Several of the courtiers standing behind them took a breath softly. Did this girl do it on purpose, or did she really not understand?

What does it mean if you don't kneel when you see the emperor?

Xiao Zeshun didn't say anything, just stared at Ye Nitang's face gloomily, his eyes were like two sharp swords, trying to peel off her skin.

Xiao Ji took out a folder from his arms, handed it over with both hands, and said again, "Your Majesty, my cousin defeated the 200,000 Beixiong army at Wuye Pass this time. There were no casualties in our army. This is the best time since the founding of our country in Dayu." , something that has never happened before, please reward her."

The old chamberlain beside Xiao Zeshun walked down the ten steps and came to Xiao Shi. He took the fold and sent it to Xiao Zeshun.

Xiao Zeshun didn't answer, didn't even look at her, and still stared at Ye Nitang without saying a word.

A handsome fifth-rank young minister among the courtiers hunched over to Xiao Shi and Ye Nitang, and reminded him softly, "Your Highness, the new princess has just arrived and doesn't understand the rules. You should tell her that she will not kneel when she sees the emperor." , is treacherous and unethical."

Xiao Ji looked at him coldly and said, "The emperor has not given the princess a reward yet. She is still my cousin and the emperor's niece. She doesn't have to kneel down. But you, by not greeting the princess when you see her, broke the rules."

As soon as he finished speaking, he shot out a bolt from his hand that flew towards the fifth-grade minister.

The fifth-grade minister who had not yet reacted knelt on the ground with a bang and kowtowed to Ye Nitang uncontrollably.

"Your Excellency, you're too polite, please get up." Ye Nitang hid her smile, Xiao Shi was quite impressive.

"What's the fuss in the main hall?" Xiao Zeshun finally spoke up. He glanced at Xiao Ji coldly, took the folder from the old chamberlain's hand and threw it on the dragon table. "We can wait until Princess Anguo and Marquis Wuan come back to discuss the reward."

There was coercion and coldness in Xiao Shi's eyes, "Your Majesty, the princess entered the imperial city as a victorious general today, and then entered the palace hall. If she doesn't give you a reward, how will the people in the world think?"

Among the courtiers on the other side of the Yushitai, a middle-aged man standing behind Li Yan took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, the battle at Wuye Pass has been settled. General Tao's reward package has been sent for many days. It's just right. Taking advantage of the auspicious day when the princess returns today to award a reward, it would be a good thing to spread the word."

Xiao Zeshun's expression became even colder, and he glanced coldly at the people in the hall, "Do you also mean this, dear friends?"

A white-haired old minister said, "Your Majesty, I think the reward needs to be considered. It is said that half of Beixiong's army is children and women. Since the princess and Tao Haoting have captured them, they should not be tortured and killed. What the two of them did It is really cruel and goes against Dayu Country’s reputation as a benevolent and virtuous person. Their faults should be accounted for before the award is given.”

Another minister spoke up, "I also feel that this reward should not be given too hastily. Just because they have made meritorious deeds, they should not be forgotten about their past mistakes. This needs to be discussed carefully."

"I also feel that..."

"Hmph!" Xiao Ji interrupted them with a cold snort, "You are standing in the high hall, enjoying all the wealth and splendor, and instead of being grateful to the soldiers who protect your home and country, you want to cry out for the cruel and vicious Beixiong traitor. How can you? ? Are you also a Beixiong spy like Fu Jinyang?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent.

Because Fu Jinyang was imprisoned, Grand Master Fu and his family members were all suspended from their duties at home. However, Grand Master Fu had been running the court for many years and there were quite a few people belonging to his lineage.

After a moment of silence, those people couldn't help but become restless.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has repeatedly slandered Grand Master Fu and his family. He really does not deserve the name of kindness."

"The prince has no evidence, so don't slander the grand master who has worked hard for Dayu all his life."

Listening to their non-stop quarreling, Ye Nitang raised his eyes and looked at the person sitting on the dragon chair, "Uncle, all the women, children and children in Beixiong were planted with madness poison by Hu Yantao. If I hadn't killed them in the first place, Hu Yantao, I'm afraid they have already arrived in the capital and eaten all your corpses."

At the same time, she also saw that the Fu family's foundation in the imperial court was like a mountain that was difficult to shake.

Fortunately, she likes to challenge the impossible.

However, Xiao Zeshun, who was sitting in a high position, didn't listen to a word they said, and he wasn't even interested in who lived and who died.

He stared at Ye Nitang's bright, flower-like face, and his Adam's apple kept making swallowing movements.

The devil deep inside keeps screaming: I'm thirsty, give me blood, give me her blood.

Ye Nitang looked at him and noticed his abnormal eyes and swallowing expression.

An undisguised murderous intent instantly appeared in her eyes.

Xiao Zeshun, who felt the murderous intent, suddenly came back to his senses, and suddenly felt a panic and humiliation as if someone had peeled off his fur and exposed his body.

He tried his best to suppress his inner desires, "That's enough. My niece is back today. What do you want to do with such endless quarrels?"

Then, an old voice followed him and said: "Your Majesty, they are just a group of thieves fed by Beixiong's spies. Faced with such clear evidence, they insist on confusing right and wrong in order to give Dayu Jiangshan to Beixiong." Only the barbarians will give up, please punish them severely."
