The system extends my life, and all my husbands want me to be the empress

Hua Yu could no longer hold it in. His crying became louder and louder, and his shoulders kept shaking. In the strange gazes of everyone, he looked extremely embarrassed and pitiful.

There was a hint of guilt in Lin Wanwan's eyes, and she thought about apologizing to him and coaxing him later.

Envoy Li continued, "Princess, our prince is not as good as you want. You have scolded him, but you have not answered any of our questions..."

Lin Wanwan's expression was calm as she retorted:

"This princess has already answered, but you just don't understand."

Li Duofeng frowned and thought about it carefully, but still didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

Lin Wanwan smiled: "If it doesn't make this princess comfortable, this princess doesn't want it. Of course, the question of not making Xuanyue Dynasty comfortable, do you still need to answer it?"

"That's right." Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe stood up suddenly and said, "The Xuanyue Dynasty is a great country and has no obligation to answer you."

The ministers who were originally not optimistic about Lin Wanwan could not help but look surprised and whispered to each other:

"I didn't expect Princess An Ning to have such a genius. She is truly a hidden talent!"

Lin Meihua's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief. The contempt she had before had long since disappeared, replaced by resentment. The limelight that originally belonged to her was completely taken away by Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan glanced at Hua Yu who was still crying and sighed slightly: "Your Majesty, please grant Hua Yu to me in marriage."

Emperor Lin Moyun was overjoyed and praised her highly: "I was right. The princess is indeed a person of both talent and beauty!"

At this time, Ouyang Qingyu clenched his fists, stood up resolutely, and looked solemn and determined.

He first bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother, and then said earnestly:

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, please understand that the princess is not selling herself in a brothel to earn money as the rumors in the market say.

The princess...is looking for me.

But. There is nothing wrong between me and the princess. The princess came to me to prepare a ceremony for the Queen Mother's birthday. "

Ye Zhaobo was shocked when he heard this. What was supposed to come had finally come.

If these words were spoken by other people, people in the court would have to think twice, but Ouyang Qingyu was different.

No one disbelieved what he said.

Lin Meihua was in disbelief. Minister Ouyang, who had never even wanted to say a word to her, now said so many good things for Lin Wanwan!

Ouyang Qingyu's eyes were clear, and he did not intend to evade the question. He continued, "I know that the princess has a noble character and a kind heart. She will never do anything that violates etiquette."

"High moral character? Kind-hearted? Wouldn't that be against the moral code?" Ye Zhaobo knelt down hurriedly and retorted, "Do you know that Princess An Ning went to Hongyue Tower for two hundred taels of silver?"

Ouyang Qingyu was stunned for a moment when he heard this and turned his gaze to Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan was eating snowflake crisps calmly, but when she heard Ye Zhaobo's words, she moved to the front of the hall.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty, An Ning has lived in poverty since she was a child. She went to the Red Moon Tower to redeem the indenture for her servants. I didn't expect that rumors would spread and even implicate Lord Ouyang."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Crown Prince Lin Xiaohe looked at him indifferently and was about to speak, but then he felt that it was inappropriate for him to come forward.

Envoy Li from Yunhai Kingdom stood up angrily:

"The Xuan Yue Dynasty is too bullying. Not to mention that the princess was rumored to have sold herself for two hundred taels of silver, it's already outrageous.

Moreover, there were endless obscene words in the hall. If you think about it carefully, it was nothing but bullying.

And they arranged a marriage between our prince Hua Yu and such a poor princess! We..."

At this time, Hua Yu's eyes fell on Lin Wanwan and said, "Li Duofeng, this prince is willing."

Li Duofeng glanced at Hua Yu, said no more, picked up the wine glass, and drank a few more times.

Lin Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "Special Envoy Li, if this princess has a small item and drops it into Yunhai Country, it can raze Yunhai Country to the ground.

"How can Special Envoy Li still speak so confidently?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes widened and they immediately began to whisper.

Just one thing can raze an entire country to the ground. Princess An Ning really has a wild imagination.

Li Duofeng was shocked when he heard this. His hand holding the wine trembled violently. He asked suspiciously, "Does the princess really have this?"

Lin Wanwan said: "No, but maybe in the future there will be."

Li Duofeng asked again: "What is this thing called?"

Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Such a core weapon, let's just call it a nuclear weapon."

Li Duofeng remained silent. He looked at Hua Yu with a shrewd look and said softly:

"This marriage with the princess is an important opportunity for our country. You must capture the princess as soon as possible, consummate the marriage with her, and obtain the secret nuclear weapon!"

Hua Yu nodded slightly. He knew very well that he came to the Xuanyue Dynasty as a hostage, carrying the expectations of the Yunhai Kingdom.

In the Xuan Yue Dynasty, men and women are equal. Looking back on history, there have been three female emperors.

And Hua Yu, because of his great looks, knew from childhood that his destiny was to marry a foreign prince and become a male favorite who seduces the master in order to strengthen the Yunhai Kingdom.

Lin Moyun stood up at this time. Although he knew the truth, his face was still gloomy: "Ye Zhaobo, how did you take care of Princess An Ning?"

The emperor's wrath made Ye Zhaobo tremble all over, sweating profusely, and he prostrated himself on the ground: "Your Majesty... I... she... her two hundred taels of silver are indeed..."

Just when everyone was half-believing and half-doubting, Prince Yong's heart sank, and he left his seat with a slightly clumsy body and knelt in front of the hall:

"Your Majesty, the princess got the two hundred taels of silver from selling paintings. Your Majesty can call two witnesses, one is Lady Qin, the proprietress of Hongyue Tower, and the other is Su Ye, the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Lin Moyun's eyes were still deep, staring at the kneeling Prince Yong in an unfathomable way. After a while, he said, "Madam Qin, a woman of the dust, does not need to be summoned. Just summon Su Ye to the palace."

Not long after, Su Ye hurried over. He stepped forward quickly, knelt down and saluted, then said:

"I pay my respects to the Queen Mother, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty."

Lin Moyun looked at the person and found him very familiar: "What is your relationship with the Prime Minister?"

Su Mingde stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please understand. Su Ye is my unworthy legitimate son."

When Su Ye saw himself being brought before the emperor, he immediately told the truth and kowtowed:

"Your Majesty, I can testify for the princess.

The princess went to Hongyue Tower a few days ago, not for the bad reason as rumored by the outside world, but to sell her own masterpieces.

The princess was extremely talented and her paintings were exquisite and were highly praised in Hongyue Tower.

I, a commoner, spent ten thousand taels to buy a painting.

Everyone in Hongyue Tower can testify to this matter."

Su Ye's words were so certain that they sounded highly credible.

Lin Wanwan looked at Su Ye, slightly thoughtful.

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Su Mingde recalled that it was indeed true, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "I have no way of educating my son, but as Su Ye said, I personally went to Hongyue Tower to bring this rebellious son back to the mansion.

Your Majesty, although the Red Moon Tower is a male prostitute brothel and does that kind of business, the private rooms on the second floor are clean, and I can guarantee this."

Red Moon Tower?

Lin Moyun's eyes darkened: "Everyone, get up. This talk of selling yourself is pure rumor."

Everyone began to whisper to each other, and their opinions of the princess changed: It was just a rumor, the princess was really wronged.

Concubine Lin said, "Your Majesty, this must be pure rumor. My nephew, Lord Ouyang, doesn't seem like that kind of person."

Lin Moyun stared at Ye Zhaobo and said, "Ye Zhaobo! Go back and investigate this matter thoroughly. Find out who spread the rumors and hand them over to Princess An Ning for punishment! If you can't find the person who spread the rumors, you can forget about being the Censor!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Upon hearing this, Ye Zhaobo stood up, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly left the palace banquet.

"Su Ye, please go down."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Su Ye responded and retreated.

Lin Moyun listened to what Lin Wanwan said just now about the "core" and couldn't help but ponder for a while. He looked at Lin Wanwan and said:

"An Ning, the imperial examination will be held in three days. I hope you will take part in it. Don't let me down."

Lin Wanwan looked calm, with a slight smile on her lips. She had always hoped to enter the imperial court, so that she could fight against those who bullied the original owner and realize her ambitions.

Lin Wanwan looked at Lin Moyun with an indifferent look and nodded slightly: "Okay."

Ouyang Qingyu smiled faintly: "Congratulations, Princess, for clearing the rumors."

Upon hearing this, Lin Meihua clutched a corner of her skirt tightly. She felt that Lin Wanwan was slowly taking away everything that originally belonged to her.

The Queen Mother was overjoyed. Hearing that the incident had been perfectly resolved, she nodded slightly, the doubts on her face gradually dissipated, and she said kindly:

"An Ning is thoughtful. Please present the painting you created with Minister Ouyang."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Qingyu presented the carefully painted image of Guanyin.

The maid took the portrait and presented it to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother stared at the portrait, her eyes full of surprise and admiration, and her mouth corners raised, revealing a satisfied smile.

"This painting is wonderful. An Ning hasn't seen me for a long time, yet she has portrayed my charm so well." The Queen Mother said happily, and then waved her hand, "Come here! I must reward Princess An Ning generously."
