The farce in the Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion was reported directly to the emperor by the censor. Even the Minister of Rites was not spared and was directly accused of not managing his wife properly, which was a violation of etiquette.

The emperor was so angry that he laughed when he read the memorial. This queen is getting more and more stupid!

After the court session, they went to the Central Palace. The eunuch handed the memorial to the queen and also told her what the Jinwuwei had found out.

Emperor Xuanwen pointed at the empress and started scolding her for half an hour.

"I shouldn't have cared about your face in the first place! Yun Xi is more than qualified to be a good match for your precious son, regardless of her background, temperament, or talent!"

Empress Xue felt very aggrieved, "I am the empress, but I was beaten several times by the eldest princess. How can I still have the dignity to rule the harem?!

No matter how outstanding Xiao Yunxi is, she is still a married woman and she absolutely cannot marry a prince, especially a legitimate prince!"

"Oh," Emperor Xuanwen laughed in anger, "Do you think she would like your son?"

He really regretted it now. If he had known earlier, he should have allowed Xiao Yunxi to divorce. Now that all these troubles have happened, his elder sister and the Grand Tutor will definitely not let it go.

What's more, Xiao Yunxi had indeed suffered a great injustice. After all, she was his niece who grew up in his eyes. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel sorry for her.

Thinking of the secret letter sent back by Xiao Jingchen, Emperor Xuanwen pondered for a moment. He could no longer turn a blind eye to the absurd behavior of the Zhennan Palace, otherwise it would completely chill the hearts of the Xiao family and his eldest sister.

The eldest princess was already extremely angry. First, the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion used Ni Feng to ruin her precious daughter's reputation. Later, the Queen brought the Earl of Cheng'en's Mansion to use Xue Bingfei to insult her precious daughter. If the Emperor dared to smooth things over, she would beat the Queen to death and then commit suicide in front of the late Emperor's tomb!

Grand Tutor Xiao, Duke Ningguo and the eldest princess went straight into the palace and talked with His Majesty in the imperial study for nearly two hours. Then they left with smiles on their faces.

The emperor issued three decrees that day:

One was given to the Queen, who was ordered to kneel in the Central Palace for three hours every day to reflect on her mistakes.

The second was to be given to Cheng Enbo, who was ordered to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors and not to be allowed to enter the palace. Xue Bingfei was beaten with 20 sticks in the court, almost killing himself.

The third is to demote him two levels as the Minister of Rites and retain him temporarily.

The eldest princess and Duke Ningguo returned home very contentedly, and specially sent a roasted wild boar to Xiao Yunxi, saying that they should celebrate because she had met a wise monarch who would help the right side rather than her relatives.

Xiao Yunxi was completely confused and had no idea what her father and mother intended until an incense stick later, when the fourth imperial edict arrived at the Prince of Zhennan's Palace.

This is an imperial decree for divorce, stating that Lu Jingting is of poor moral character and is not worthy of being the princess' husband. The decree is issued for Princess Changle to divorce him!

The emperor also granted her a princess's mansion, which she could move into in three days.

This shocked everyone.

The old prince and the old lady were also confused until the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict snorted coldly, then they reacted.

The old lady asked tremblingly: "Why is our Jingting morally flawed? Why can we divorce the husband but not the wife?"

The eunuch delivering the decree snorted coldly, "He has a concubine's eldest son before marrying a wife, so he is one of them.

The second is to confuse the legitimate and illegitimate children, and the third is to favor the concubine and kill the wife. Isn't that enough?"

He deliberately prolonged his voice and lowered his head to meet the old lady's eyes, "I heard that the old lady loves her nephew very much. He even knows how many birthmarks there are on his body and what color and shape they are..."

The old lady widened her eyes in horror, "This...this..."

The eunuch glanced at the old prince and said, "His Majesty said that he would give you some face because of your hard work and great contributions. If you still don't repent, then please ask the old lady to go to the Queen Mother's palace and explain in front of all the prominent women in the capital why a nephew knows that you have a black mole on your butt and a birthmark on the inside of your thigh!"

The old prince suddenly felt a sweet taste in his mouth. He lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I accept your order and thank you!"

"Old Prince, please wait," the eunuch sneered, "Your Majesty has another decree for the Zhennan Palace."

Hearing the words "deprive Lu Jingting of his title as the Prince of Zhennan Palace", the old lady was completely stunned and murmured to herself, "How could this happen? Isn't Xiao Yunxi alive and well?"

She couldn't bear the shock and fainted on the spot.

The old prince was also shocked. How could the emperor take away Lu Jingting's position as the crown prince for the sake of Princess Changle?

He couldn't help but feel horrified. Could it be that the emperor had discovered the secret deep in the jungle? !

Xiao Yunxi was indescribably happy. No matter how her parents forced her uncle the emperor to change his mind, she could finally escape from the sea of ​​suffering. She was so happy.

She specially cut the pig's tail into three pieces and sent them to the old prince, the old lady and Ruan respectively, asking them to taste them.

The old prince looked at the half pig's tail on the plate, his face so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it.

The old lady wanted to throw it out to feed the dogs, but Ruan ate it quietly and thought it tasted good and was still not satisfied.

After all, her husband is still the prince, and she is still the princess. Although Lu Jingting is no longer the crown prince, she still has a son, and the position of crown prince still belongs to her son.

Besides, it’s just that his daughter-in-law is gone. He can just marry another one. Maybe she will be easier to control than Xiao Yunxi.

"Master, this Ningguo Mansion is really going too far!"

The old lady slammed the table angrily.

"Jing Ting is incompetent, Ni Feng is a waste, what can you do?!" The old prince said sullenly, "You messed up a good game of chess!"

"How can you blame me for this?" The old lady's eyes widened in anger, "I wanted to get rid of Lin Wan'er before, but didn't you write to stop me?

If she had been killed earlier, why would she be ordered to divorce her husband now? "

The old prince was speechless. He was only considering leaving a way out at the time, but he didn't expect that he would shoot himself in the foot.

"What should I do now?"

The old lady was so anxious that she almost cried, "Jing Ting has not only been deposed as the crown prince, but he has also become the first man in the Dali period to be divorced by his wife. The ancestral graves of your Lu family are about to emit black smoke!

Xiao Yunxi and the Ningguo Mansion will definitely oppose us in every way in the future. How are we going to live like this?

The noble families in the capital have always looked down on our Zhennan Palace, calling us "traitors" and "soft-spineless". We will be poked in the back even more in the future."

The old lady was really about to cry. Before Xiao Yunxi got married, the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion was an unknown entity in the capital and no one was willing to even look at it.

In the past two years, because of Xiao Yunxi, various families were willing to send invitations for weddings and funerals, and the Zhennan Palace also began to slowly integrate into it.

Now that Xiao Yunxi has divorced her husband, she will probably be worse than an unknown person in the future!

The old prince was silent for a moment, "Xiao Yunxi left, and so did Lin Wan'er!"

"That slut?!" the old lady roared, "If it weren't for her, how could things have gotten to this point!"

"What if she is not a lowly servant, but a girl from a noble family who is as noble as Xiao Yunxi?"

The old lady became angry when she saw the old prince's unfathomable expression, "You said she was from an aristocratic family, so she is from an aristocratic family?!

Do you think you are the goddess Nuwa and can do whatever you want? ! "

The old prince was choking and coughing, pointing at the old lady and calling her a stupid woman.

Shou'an Hall was very lively at that moment.
