After rebirth, she turned around and married the emperor's uncle and tore the scumbag apart

The birthday banquet ended at 11:00 p.m., and with only one stick of incense left to burn, everyone came outside the Golden Palace to start the final link and watch the fireworks show with the emperor.

Following an order from an official from the Ministry of Rites, clusters of fireworks rose into the night sky, blooming in the air, forming flowers of different shapes and colors.

The moon in the winter night sky is not very bright, but when the fireworks bloom in the sky, they appear particularly brilliant and bright, lighting up half of the sky in the capital.

The Queen stood beside the Emperor and glanced at his left hand, where he was holding Concubine Li's hand.

The emperor's childhood sweetheart, Concubine Xian, was standing beside Concubine Yi with a lonely look on her face, showing no joy or sadness.

Originally, Concubine Xian and her son Xiao Changyu were the biggest threat to her. However, since Xiao Changyu became a monk, Concubine Xian became very indifferent, as if she saw through everything.

The queen curled her lips slightly. She must have seen through the emperor's coldness and was completely disappointed in him!

The concubines of lower status could not get the emperor's attention anyway, so they gathered together to watch the fireworks, and each one smiled more beautifully than the other.

Ministers who were on good terms with each other stood together in groups of three or four to watch the fireworks display.

Su Lingyue had no interest in fireworks at all and dozed off in Xiao Yu's arms.

After sitting for a whole day, she just wanted to go home as soon as possible and have a good sleep.

After an incense stick of time, when everyone thought that the birthday banquet was over and they could go home, the emperor suddenly said, "My dear ministers, I am very happy that you have accompanied me on my birthday today. I have two other happy announcements to make on this festive day."

"The position of Crown Princess is vacant, and Prince Jing has reached the age of marriage, so after discussing with the Queen, I decided to grant marriages to the two princes today."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, many ministers beside him couldn't help but break out in cold sweats. They had never heard of the matter of the Crown Princess and Princess Jing!

Usually, when selecting concubines or granting marriages, the emperor would first inform the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites would also give some information to others.

But they didn't even know about the selection of the concubine this time.

When Su Lingyue heard this, her sleepiness instantly disappeared.

She knew this day would come, but she didn't expect it to come so suddenly without any news outside.

Xiao Yu beside her also had a very gloomy expression, and his handsome sword-like eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

The emperor put away the relaxation and joy he had shown at the banquet, and his face showed his usual majesty. He told Eunuch Wan, "Begin reading the imperial edict."

After Eunuch Wan bowed respectfully, he took out the imperial edict and began to read it aloud.

"It is destined to be blessed by heaven, the emperor decreed..."

Everyone listened with bated breath.

Everyone knows the current situation in the court. Some hope that this "blessing" will not fall on their family, while others hope to receive this "blessing".

After the imperial edict was read, King Jing Xiao Chang'an knelt down with a look of joy on his face to express his gratitude.

Although Crown Prince Xiao Changshi already knew the contents of the imperial edict, he still could not accept it.

Why does my father favor Xiao Changan so much!

Compared to their joy and anger, others were so shocked that they were speechless. What was the emperor doing?

The granddaughter of Grand Tutor He, He Qianqian, is granted the title of Crown Princess, the daughter of General Huaiyuan, the Vice Adjutant of the East China Sea, Shen Bi, is granted the title of Concubine, and the daughter of Wang Qing, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Wang Jingshu, is granted the title of Crown Prince's Concubine! They will enter the palace together on June 18 next year.

The granddaughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat Gao Yin was granted the title of Princess of Jing, and the granddaughter of the Duke of Ying, the youngest daughter of the fourth-rank Xuanwei General Lin Ju, was granted the title of concubine. They entered the palace together on July 18 of the following year.

Everyone knew that the Crown Prince and King Jing were fighting openly and secretly in the court.

Not only did the emperor not help the crown prince consolidate his position, he also helped King Jing win over the Minister of the Central Secretariat and General Xuanwei, two important officials, one civil and one military.

Is this an attempt to get them to fight openly?

Although the prince seemed to have granted the marriage, it did not help much. Tutor He originally supported the prince, and the general he won over had real power, but he was the lieutenant general of the East China Sea, who was far away from the emperor.

If a fight for succession really breaks out, this father-in-law won’t be able to catch up even if he travels a thousand miles a day!

The most puzzling thing is that the emperor actually made the daughter of a third-rank minister of the Ministry of Revenue his concubine!

Those who could be concubines were concubines' daughters, commoners, slaves and prostitutes.

This is simply a naked humiliation!

It's more embarrassing than being slapped in public!

What on earth happened that the emperor would humiliate a third-rank minister in the court like this?

A few people who had some friendship with Wang Qing looked at him calmly.

At this time, Wang Qing was standing with his fists clenched, his face gloomy, his chest heaving rapidly, and it seemed as if he would get furious at any time.

Eunuch Wan glanced at the ministers who all had different expressions, and respectfully reminded them, "My Lords, please accept the decree and express your gratitude!"

Tutor He, He Wen, Lin Ju, and Gao Yin knelt down together to thank the emperor.

It's just that their expressions were different. Gao Yin had a happy smile on his face, but He Taifu, He Wen and Lin Ju all had gloomy faces, and it was hard to tell whether they were sad or angry.

He looked at Wang Qing sharply, his face was very unhappy, and he was about to explode, but Wang Qing knelt down heavily with a "thump", and kowtowed loudly: "I thank your majesty for your great kindness, I will never forget it!"

Although he said "thank you", his face showed anger that he couldn't hide no matter how hard he tried.

The emperor looked down at him and asked coldly, "Does Lord Wang have any objections?"

His nails dug into his flesh, and the warm blood awakened his reason. Wang Qing kowtowed again, "I dare not."

This time, he kept knocking his head on the ground until the emperor left.

"Stand up!" The emperor said lightly, and returned to the Yangxin Palace with the support of Eunuch Wan.

Without waiting for others to ask, Wang Qing stood up with a cold face and strode away from this place that humiliated him.

"Father, get up." He Wen, with a stern face, helped up Tutor He, who had not yet come to his senses.

Lin Ju stood up and strode away.

The few ministers who were on good terms with Grand Tutor He were probably afraid of getting into trouble, so they just said a few words to comfort him and then left in a hurry.

Su Lingyue followed Xiao Yu to the side of Tutor He. Looking at the gloomy faces of Tutor He and He Wen, she couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for them.

Many of the ministers in the court who have daughters raise them in their hometowns or houses in other places, just wanting to avoid the general election.

Some of them had reached marriageable age and had found a suitable young man from an aristocratic family or a good man. They would just report this to the emperor, and after the emperor agreed, they could propose marriage.

Unexpectedly, I could avoid the first day, but not the fifteenth.

Xiao Yu looked at them with no expression on his face. He just said calmly: "Grandmaster, Lord He, there is still a lot of time. If you have other ideas, you can find a chance to negotiate with my brother. There may be a chance for a turnaround."

Master He was startled, as if he had taken Xiao Yu's words to heart. He heaved a sigh of relief and thanked him in a deep voice, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your comfort."

Xiao Yu nodded gently, "Well, it's getting late, Master He should take the tutor back home early."

He Wen nodded respectfully, "Yes."

Back in the carriage, Su Lingyue sat down weakly, leaning softly in Xiao Yu's arms.

Looking at Su Lingyue's sleepy look, Xiao Yu gently curled his lips, tightened his arms, and pulled Su Lingyue a little closer to him.

On the quiet street, there was only the sound of carriage wheels. Su Lingyue's heart gradually calmed down and her sleepiness gradually dissipated.

Her mind became clear, and all the doubts and worries in her heart came flooding back, making her a little irritated.

Xiao Yu wasn't much better, his eyes were deep in thought.

I'm afraid many people won't be able to sleep tonight.
