The Rebirth of the Deposed Empress

Hua Zhukong looked at her coldly:

"After you have established a family, you should separate your family! When the second brother got married, I was going to let you set up a separate residence. But the second brother said that if he left, there would be no one in the general's residence to take care of him all the time, so the matter of dividing the family was put on hold."

"Now that Sui Sui has reached the age of marriage, the division of the family is settled! Prince An is here today, so please ask His Highness to be a witness to this matter."

After the second branch set up its own mansion, no one in the mansion could bully Sui Sui openly or secretly. Ye Buhuo was of course happy to see it happen and was willing to be a witness.

The division of the family was thus decided.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Buhuo didn't want to stay any longer and said goodbye.

The second house was a little depressed because of the sudden bad news, and they returned to their own courtyard not long after Ye Buhuo left.

Seeing that everyone from the second house had left, Hua Rongyu finally spoke:

"Dad, it's only been a short time since Yue'er passed away, and my second brother must still be suffering from this. Why are you in such a hurry to let my second brother set up a new family?"

Hua Zhukong sighed slightly.

"Do you still remember Han Bing?"

Hua Rongyu nodded, "Remember, this man is Han Che's younger brother, working for the prince in Dongshantou."

"Your Highness received news a while ago that Han Bing was ambushed on the way back to Beijing and died of serious injuries. Although this news has been suppressed, it is impossible to carry a corpse to identify the prince."

"Han Che, as the largest imperial merchant in Shangjing, will also attend tomorrow's welcoming banquet, so the prince decided to let Han Che come forward to lead the news that Han Bing was assassinated, and let the emperor order a thorough investigation of the matter."

After listening to Hua Zhukong's words, Hua Rongyu understood that his father was in a hurry to divide the family because he was worried that Hua Jingqian's actions in this matter would be discovered and would implicate the entire general's mansion.

I hope my second brother won’t really do such an irreparable and stupid thing!

Hua Rongyu couldn't help feeling a little heavy in the heart.

On the second evening, people from the General's Mansion went to the palace to attend a welcoming banquet.

While sitting in the carriage, Hua Jingqian had a sullen expression as he thought about his current situation.

The reason why he was able to get in touch with the prince was because he was close to Hua Rongyu and could always say something to influence Hua Wuke.

Her relationship with Hua Wu Ke had begun to cool after she encountered bandits last year. Now that the second wife has separated from the first wife, she wondered if the prince was still willing to use her.

Thinking of this, he became more and more anxious and his expression became more and more ugly.

Sun Ruhui, who was in the same carriage, glanced at Hua Jingqian.

Hua Jingqian has been well-behaved for a long time since Hua Wuke left, which resulted in him not finding any definite evidence of his guilt even though he has been keeping a low profile for such a long time. Now Hua Jingqian is afraid that Ye Chuji will abandon him, so he will definitely take risks to help Ye Chuji do something to please him.

Sun Ruhui felt happy when she thought about finding evidence of Hua Jingqian's crime and putting him to death, and watching him begging for mercy.

Yue'er, wait for your mother, I will definitely avenge you!

The carriage stopped at the palace gate. When the group walked to the Qianqing Palace, some officials had already taken their seats with their families.

Everyone knew that today's welcoming banquet was held for the Hua family and Prince An, so when they saw the few people, they all gathered around them.

The news that Hua Wuke was conferred the title of princess has spread throughout Shangjing, and everyone also knows that it was Ye Buhuo who requested the title for her.

Everyone understood what was going on. It seemed that the long-forgotten engagement between the Hua family and Prince An was about to be fulfilled.

Being a princess was not enough to make them bow down to her, but the identity of the future Princess An still made the ministers look up to her.

They gathered around to congratulate and salute.

"See the Princess."

Hua Wu Ke had received many gifts when she was the Crown Princess and Queen in her previous life, so she could handle it calmly at this moment. She raised her hand slightly:

"No need to be so polite, my lords."

After the formalities, the gentlemen began to compliment each other.

"Congratulations to General Hua... Oh no, congratulations to Duke Dingguo for his great victory at Beimo Pass!"

Hua Rongyu smiled faintly and replied:

"You're welcome, Your Excellency."

"Your son is also a handsome man. He has been appointed a general at such a young age. He has a bright future ahead of him!"

"Yes, congratulations."

……

After some greetings, we finally sat down.

Hua Wu Ke and others were sitting on the right. She looked at the first seat on the right and it was still empty, so she thought Ye Buhuo had not arrived yet.

She looked around again and saw a woman opposite her winking at him.

Hua Wu Ke was very happy when he saw Lin Xizhi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and winked at her with a smile.

Not long after, Ye Buhuo also arrived. The ministers knew that the emperor was afraid of Ye Buhuo, so they did not dare to get too close to Ye Buhuo for fear of causing the emperor's dissatisfaction. They just smiled and said some congratulations while paying their respects.

Ye Buhuo nodded lightly, with no emotion in his eyes, except for a hint of tenderness when his gaze passed over Hua Wuke.

The emperor hadn't arrived yet, and everyone was sitting in their seats, whispering to the people around them.

During the conversation, they inevitably mentioned today's protagonists, the Hua family and Prince An.

Some of them were not very tight-lipped, their eyes moved between Hua Wuke and Ye Buhuo, and then whispered to the people around them:

"You said that these two families hold most of the military power of the Night Country. If they really get married, wouldn't that be..."

"Alas, the Emperor and the Crown Prince may not be able to sleep at night now."

"Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about it. Let's not get ourselves into trouble."

The two of them shut up in dismay, then looked at each other, pretending they had no idea what was going on.

"The Emperor has arrived, the Empress has arrived, and the Crown Prince has arrived..."

The sound coming from the hall made the banquet suddenly quiet down. When they saw the emperor in a dragon robe and the queen in a gorgeous dress appear in the hall, they all knelt down and saluted.

"Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

"See the Queen, she is a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince."

The emperor smiled and raised his hand to signal everyone to stand up.

"Today is to welcome the Hua Family Army and the Black Iron Army, and also to congratulate our Ye Nation on its great victory. Everyone can just enjoy themselves, no need to be formal."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the banquet officially began.

Although the emperor always wanted to get rid of them, the banquet was still very luxurious and exquisite. At least Hua Wuke was very satisfied with the dishes.

Too lazy to join in the occasional flattery from the people around them, the siblings Hua Wu Ke and Hua Wu Jing concentrated on the delicious food in front of them.

After a song and dance, the emperor picked up the wine cup.

"My dear ministers, today we are welcoming two great generals from the Ye Kingdom. I am very pleased to have my eighth brother and General Hua protecting the territory of the Ye Kingdom, and all of you, my dear ministers, ensuring the eternal prosperity of the Ye Kingdom!"

The ministers also raised their glasses and responded:

"It is my duty to share the emperor's worries."

Ye Lanfeng liked to see the ministers being respectful to him, and he had a smile on his face when he saw everyone crawling at his feet and flattering him.
