Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 180
Chapter 180 Supreme Affection
“All of you, get up!” The Jin Emperor raised his voice and a strange atmosphere began to flow in the hall.
The people in the hall stood up respectfully, and the Jin Emperor walked to the other side. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly and he said unintentionally, “Why is Country of Xiyue Prince here? The Eldest Prince has been looking for you for a long time.”
Rong Xun raised his head and looked at Rong Jin, who was not far behind the Jin Emperor. His expression did not change. “Where there is liveliness, there is naturally going to be a place to come.”
The implication was that this place was the liveliest. Even the main hall of the banquet was not as lively as this palace.
The Jin Emperor had already received a report from the palace people, but he wasn’t sure what exactly happened here. He saw everyone watching, “What happened here? Why are there so many people watching?”
The Jin Emperor’s voice fell, but no one replied.
An awkward atmosphere reverberated in the palace.
The Eldest Princess endured and endured, her expression becoming even more embarrassed. She snorted coldly, “Reporting to the Emperor, it was His Highness the Third Prince who said that he wanted to marry Hui Ning.” Since no one spoke, she could only seize the opportunity.
Zhou Jingyan didn’t believe that the Emperor would say that he would only give Hui Ning a side imperial concubine position.
“Oh? His Highness the Third Prince wants to marry a county princess? Why hasn’t anyone gone to the front hall to greet such a big matter?” Hua Fei narrowed her eyes at the Eldest Princess and looked at Zhou Jingyan. Seeing that he was shaking his head invisibly, she immediately understood what Zhou Jingyan meant. She smiled and said, “However, why hasn’t Third Highness mentioned such a happy thing before?”
The Eldest Princess glared at Imperial Concubine Hua angrily, “The Empress should still be in charge of this palace, right?”
Even in the absence of the Empress, before the Emperor could say anything, Imperial Concubine Hua had already taken over the throne. It was truly unpleasant.
Hua Fei’s expression was embarrassed. She coldly snorted and stood beside the Emperor. She looked at the Jin Emperor with a bright smile. Her eyes that were glowing darkened and contained a trace of grievance.
The Jin Emperor frowned, feeling heartache in his heart. “Alright, Changping, this matter really should be discussed with us. Now, what’s the result of your discussion?” Changping is the title of the Eldest Princess, which means the prosperity of the country and the people.
When the Eldest Princess saw Hua Fei’s unconcealable smile, a trace of anger appeared in the depths of her eyes.
It was all Hua Fei, this charming fox, who was gossiping in front of the Jin Emperor. One day, she would secretly kill Hua Fei to vent her hatred.
The Eldest Princess glanced at Zhou Jingyan. There were so many people in the palace right now. It was impossible to tell what had happened in the palace. Otherwise, Hui Ning’s reputation would be lost.
With a cold snort, he turned around and sat down on a chair, his hands banging on the table.
Everyone looked at her in surprise. However, the Eldest Princess’s expression was really ugly. She rarely got angry. This time, people were in danger. Even if everyone had doubts in their hearts, they still didn’t dare to say it. They just lowered their heads even lower, wishing that there was a hole to drill for them.
The Eldest Princess was angry with the Emperor. She might involve innocent people like them.
The Jin Emperor was publicly disgraced by the Eldest Princess, so he knew that the matter was a bit serious. He waved his hand and pushed those people back, letting the father-in-law next to him open the door of the palace.
However, looking at the two figures in the palace, one white and one black, the Jin Emperor’s expression became somewhat unsightly. “Crown Prince Rong, Eldest Prince, would you please move to the side hall to rest for a while? I will apologize after I have finished dealing with the matters here.”
Rong Xun frowned, but he still agreed in the end. However, before he left, he did not forget to say, “I hope that by midnight tonight, I can take away the maidservant from here.”
As for who that person was, everyone here should know, because Rong Xun and Zhou Jingyan had already crossed paths during the banquet.
Rong Jin cupped his hands and signaled to the Jin Emperor before leaving. However, after the two of them left, the Jin Emperor looked at Rong Xun and Rong Jin for a long time and frowned. In the end, he did not say anything, but in his heart, he linked these things together.
The room was completely silent. The Eldest Princess suddenly raised her head with a fierce look in her eyes.
Yun Xiao originally thought that the Eldest Princess would harshly criticize the injustice of these days, but who would have thought that the Eldest Princess would wipe her tears with a handkerchief?
As he wiped away his tears, he said, “Royal Brother, since I was born, I have known that as a princess of the royal family, I have no right to choose a husband. Father asked me to marry into the Marquis’ Manor. I married, but what happened in the end?” The Marquis’ Mansion was gone, “Only our orphans and widows are left. I know that my existence has humiliated the royal family. If the royal family is unwilling to accept us as mother and son, then directly abolish my title as a princess. I am also unwilling to take the title of princess. This title has caused me to lose my family. Now that I can’t even protect my daughter, why do I need this title?”
Her sobbing caused everyone’s hearts to tremble. Even Yun Xiao was slightly stunned.
This time was different from the past. If the previous emperor was alive, he would definitely make the decision for Princess Changping. However, now, the emperor no longer felt much guilt towards his younger sister.
The most ruthless Emperor Clan, in the end, guilty things only made people’s hearts ache. As time passed, there would only be fewer and fewer.
Therefore, the Eldest Princess was familiar with this point. Therefore, the Eldest Princess did not cry loudly, but cried out for her grievances.
The Eldest Princess and the Jin siblings had known each other for so many years, so she naturally knew that crying would only make the siblings centrifuge and make the Jin Emperor irritated.
Seeing this, Yun Xiao admired the Eldest Princess.
Yun Xiao did not miss the faces of the others at all. The Emperor’s face was indeed becoming more and more embarrassed, but in the embarrassing place, there was a faint trace of guilt.
Imperial Concubine Hua frowned tightly and looked at Yun Xiao with an embarrassed expression. “Princess Changping, the Emperor didn’t seem to have let you down. Isn’t it shameful for His Majesty to cry like this? If there’s anything else, why don’t you sit down and talk about it? You are His Majesty’s direct sister, can Your Majesty still not make the decision for you?”
The Eldest Princess had an embarrassed expression. Being disturbed by Hua Fei, she secretly narrowed her eyes at the Jin Emperor. As expected, she saw the Jin Emperor’s embarrassed expression.
She suddenly threw the teacup in her hand, picked up a piece of broken porcelain, and pressed it against her neck. She looked at the Jin Emperor with tears stained on her face, “Make the decision?” Jing Yan ruined Hui Ning’s innocence. No matter what, I am still His Highness’ biological aunt. However, His Highness said that he would only give Hui Ning the position of side concubine. Even though Hui Ning and I are of low status and inferior to the prince, we still know how to be polite and honest. His Highness is the son of the royal brother. Who else can I find to make the decision? I can’t even protect my own daughter, why do I need this princess’ title? Is it fair to draw the attention of others? ”
County princess Huining was also tired of crying. Seeing the eldest princess like this, she stumbled over and knelt in front of the eldest princess. “Mother, don’t be like this. It’s your daughter’s fault. It’s all her fault. It’s her daughter’s fault. She would rather lose her reputation for a lifetime. I beg mother to put down the weapon in her hand and beg mother …”
The Eldest Princess smiled bitterly and took a step back. She looked at county princess Huining reluctantly and said, “It’s all because of mother’s fault. Mother can’t protect you …”
The Jin Emperor frowned and said, “Chuan.” He was not angry, but he was mighty. The cold wind in the palace was frightening.
The Jin Emperor obviously did not expect so many things to happen in such a short period of time. He first glanced at Zhou Jingyan, who had been kneeling motionlessly, and his brows furrowed tightly again.
Although the Jin Emperor was angry with the Eldest Princess for crying like this, his mind was still not dizzy.
Princess Changping was a person who had made great contributions to the royal family. No matter what, she could not let Princess Changping die in the royal palace. Otherwise, the hearts of many ministers would be chilled.
Furthermore, Princess Changping sacrificed herself for her own sake back then. Thinking of this, her expression turned slightly better. “Changping, calm down first. Since I am here today, I will give you an explanation. Put down the sharp weapon in your hand first and behave like a princess!”
The Eldest Princess smiled miserably, but the ceramic tile in her hand did not let go at all. Instead, she pressed down.
In an instant, a wisp of red blood appeared on her fair neck, contrasting with her porcelain-white skin, making her eyes even more red.
Yun Xiao’s eyes narrowed slightly. She did not expect that the Eldest Princess would actually reverse this defeat. It was surprising.
However, Yun Xiao did not forget that there was a tiger looking at Hua Fei. With Hua Fei here, it was unknown who would win or lose!
Sure enough, the Jin Emperor narrowed his eyes and immediately shouted, “Changping, don’t move. Don’t move. Anything is easy to discuss. I will agree to whatever you say.”
However, the Eldest Princess did not believe this sentence. There was a hint of mockery at the corner of her mouth and she snorted coldly, “You should first ask the distinguished Third Highness what he wants to do.”
As she spoke, she still didn’t have the slightest intention of throwing away the sharp weapon in her hand.
The Jin Emperor was truly enraged. He looked at Zhou Jingyan angrily, “Jing Yan, how do you explain what happened today?”
Zhou Jingyan’s eyes wrinkled tightly. His expression was extremely ugly. “Father, I have absolutely no intention of humiliating my cousin. I have yet to find out what happened today. How can I get the result? Furthermore, I already have my own heart and have promised to marry her as my imperial concubine. How can I not be sincere? In this way, where is the royal prestige?”
Emperor Jin frowned. Zhou Jingyan’s words were reasonable. The difference between humans and animals was that humans had feelings. Zhou Jingyan’s words were reasonable, but …
“Your Majesty, the third prince is extremely affectionate. He is truly rare. Since the third prince has already promised the position of princess, it is indeed inappropriate for him to go back on his word. However, the status of county princess is noble. How can he injure the county princess? What a headache.” Hua Fei held the donation handkerchief in her hand with an embarrassed expression.
She really hated the Eldest Princess in her heart. Her gentle expression carried a faint killing intent as she landed on County Lord Hui Ning. She wished she could point at County Lord Hui Ning’s nose and curse, “It’s not enough to accomplish anything, it’s more than enough to lose.”
But now, she could only smile and persuade him.
County princess Huining hugged the eldest princess and cried for a long time. Seeing Hua Fei speak, she was angry. Yun Xiu held her hands tightly together, but she knew that Hua Fei was from Zhou Jingyan. It was better not to offend her so easily at this time.
However, she was unwilling!
County princess Huining suddenly raised her head. He wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes and kowtowed respectfully in front of the Jin Emperor. “Uncle, Huining knows that you have always loved me. Huining can’t bear to make things difficult for you. What happened today is indeed Huining’s fault. If I hadn’t passed by and worried about His Highness the Third Prince, nothing would have happened. I volunteered to accompany the Azure Lantern Ancient Buddha. Please don’t make things difficult for His Highness the Third Prince.”
He kept saying that he was not in a difficult situation, but he was pressing down on the Jin Emperor.
Hearing this, Yun Xiao sneered. This good person had all been taken over by County Lord Huining, but …
