After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

The palace was heavily guarded, so tightly that even a breeze could hardly get through. But when the guards relaxed, the gold bricks and copper tiles seemed to have turned into spring water, which flowed all over the ground with a gentle scoop.

In just two quarters of an hour, the astonishing "episode" in the Wencui Academy had crossed the palace walls and flowed into this magnificent palace.

"Oh?" The Queen Mother's eyes flickered slightly, and her tone unconsciously sank, "Is there such a thing?

The maid who replied kowtowed and said, "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, I dare not speak nonsense. The news from the front is clear and obvious. The imperial edict was sent directly from the Qianming Palace... The young prince is only thirteen years old, with a completely unfamiliar face. He is not surnamed Chu, and does not look like the offspring of any prince in the capital, but he was officially named the 'Prince of Linqing' and enjoys a salary..."

"Five thousand stones!"

With a crisp sound, the Queen Mother slammed down the white jade cup in her hand and said, "Five thousand stones?"

"This is ridiculous! Is this the salary a prince should have?"

The warmth that had been hidden between her brows froze, and she suddenly revealed a solemn expression: "What's going on!"

The originally warm and harmonious atmosphere in the palace suddenly froze into ice, and the palace servants knelt on the ground in a sea of ​​people.

Even Princess Linping, who had been trying hard to please, did not dare to say a word under her mother's wrath, let alone Wen Renxuan, who had just arrived and was already nervous.

She swallowed quietly, too nervous to even breathe. Her great-aunt, who was so high and mighty, had always been very kind and friendly to them, the younger generations of her maternal clan.

This young lady, who was born in the Duke of Changguo's Mansion and had always been favored, was seeing the Empress Dowager in such a rage for the first time.

Wen Renxuan lowered her head and stared at the patterns on the shoes, fearing that one careless move would displease the Queen Mother.

In the dead silence, Le Zhu stepped forward, half-knelt down to pick up the cups and plates on the table, and spoke softly, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. The imperial physician has repeatedly warned you not to get angry while taking the medicine. No matter how good a prince is, how can he compare to your body?"

She carefully observed the Queen Mother's expression, gently and steadily offered her a cup of fresh tea, and said softly, "You see, His Majesty and His Highness are so concerned about your health. Considering the filial piety of His Majesty and the Princess, you should also rest assured and take care of yourself."

The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Maintenance? As a widow, I know I have no right to interfere in the affairs of the previous dynasty. But a prince suddenly appeared out of nowhere and the matter involves my relatives. I still don't even know his name, and I have to wait for a servant to report!"

She raised her hand and asked sternly, "Do you really think I am old, my eyes are blurry, my ears are blocked, and I am blind?"

Le Zhu knew very well that the old lady was complaining about His Majesty's going without telling her, but she was kept in the dark. She could only try her best to persuade him, "Your Majesty is still young and beautiful, how can you say this? I think the Queen Mother has been unwell recently, and His Majesty is concerned about your health, so he won't let you worry about such a small matter."

As he said this, he secretly glanced at the eldest princess.

At this time, Linping had finally recovered from the shock of Ning'er suddenly becoming the "Prince of Linqing".

As one of the few people who knew about this, she barely suppressed the turmoil in her heart and walked to the Queen Mother's side with her head lowered:

"Mother, what Nanny Le said is absolutely right. No matter what kind of prince or duke happened, no matter how serious the matter is, it is not worthy of you to get angry and hurt yourself. What's more, His Majesty has always acted prudently and is not the kind of person who wills and wills. Since he has made such an arrangement, there must be a reason for it."

"In my opinion, you might as well close your eyes and pretend you don't know about this. 'If you are not stupid or deaf, you don't deserve to be a father-in-law.'"

Others might have been fine with these words, but Wen Renxuan couldn't help but look up at the eldest princess.

Her aunt, the elder sister of the current emperor, this eldest princess who was famous in the royal family for her beauty and power, was so cautious and humble when she mentioned the emperor in private.

I thought that given her status and position, she should be very close to His Majesty, if not completely intimate.

But the Empress Dowager was so furious, and the Princess was trying to make amends for His Majesty in every sentence she spoke, as if she was afraid that the Empress Dowager would anger His Majesty...

The Queen Mother's eyes slowly moved to Lin Ping. She stared at her daughter for a few breaths before slowly saying, "From Lin Ping's tone, it seems that she already knew your brother's plan?"

The princess' smile froze on her lips: "Mother, you have wronged your daughter!" She took her mother's arm and sat down slowly: "Others may not know your Majesty's temperament, but mother, don't you know it? Who can figure out his thoughts?"

"It is such a big deal to crown a person of a different surname as king! What's more, the one crowned is a boy who has not yet grown up. Even as a son, I am still panicking right now. I can't imagine how big a commotion it will cause once the news spreads to the outside court. What will the people of the world think?"

"If I really knew your majesty's plan in advance, for the sake of the royal family, the country, and your majesty's reputation, I should have advised you no matter what."

The empress dowager's expression turned colder as Lin Ping spoke. Before she could finish, she interrupted her, "Humph, our emperor has never been lenient in conferring titles. I heard that the emperor's mother's family was only conferred a duke, and when it came to Xuan'er and Xi'er's generation, they didn't even have an honorary title."

She sneered, "As for the Lou family, what benefit did they get from marrying the eldest princess? According to common sense, the emperor has not yet married, and the children of your sister are the closest bloodline. Not to mention the county lord and the princess, even if it is a princess like Feng Ying'er, can't she bear it? And Xiao'er..."

"Now, look what has happened. My own nephew is still a commoner, but they have conferred the title of a prince on a boy who came from nowhere!"

"Mother!" Lin Ping was so anxious that he didn't care about his dignity. He pulled the Queen Mother's sleeve and knelt on the ground. "Mother, I have no such intention."

The Queen Mother dared to say these words, but she didn't dare to listen to them anymore!

If such angry words were to reach the ears of His Majesty, and he really believed that she harbored resentment and instigated the Queen Mother to fight for the title for the Lou family, then how would her Xiao'er cope with the future?

Moreover, she knew very well how much the "Prince of Linqing" was favored by His Majesty - her daughter had offended that man unknowingly, and was still locked up in a temple by her husband for reflection; and her son, just because he had some affinity with "Young Master Ning", was personally appointed by His Majesty to be a companion in the palace!

Such preference, such favor...

Lin Ping made up her mind. She didn't care about others. She would never argue with "him" anyway.

When the eldest princess knelt, everyone else followed suit.

Wen Renxuan was so flustered that she didn't know where to put her hands. She never expected that she would encounter such a bad thing when she entered the palace for the first time.

Before entering the palace, her mother repeatedly told her to please the Queen Mother and try to stay in the palace to take care of her. But if the Queen Mother and the Princess really had a dispute, she would be sent out of the palace immediately after watching the whole thing, not to mention staying.

But when two giant Buddhas are fighting, what can a little ghost like her do?

The Queen Mother's voice was filled with irritation and ridicule: "Why are you kneeling? What? My son, your brother, can't I even say a word? Not only do I want to ask, I want to ask clearly."

"Le Zhu, you go there in person and bring the Prince of Linqing to Ciqing Palace immediately!"

Lin Ping was horrified and cried out, "Mother, you must not do this!"

But the Queen Mother seemed determined and unmoved: "Why not? Who do I want to see? How can I humiliate him? Even if it's the Emperor himself, it doesn't make sense."

"Oh?"

As the two of them were in a stalemate, they suddenly heard a faint voice coming from the palace gate:

"Your Majesty, please tell me who you want to see."
