The emperor's birthday is celebrated by everyone.
On this day, Shengjing was particularly lively.
On this day in my previous life, something happened.
The prince's brother angered his father because he made a mistake and was sentenced on the spot.
The princess's sister-in-law was so furious that she fainted on the spot.
It was only when the imperial doctor came belatedly and took her pulse that he discovered that the Crown Princess's sister-in-law was pregnant.
It was just because of the excitement that the fetus was moved. Although the baby was barely saved, due to the special constitution of the princess's sister-in-law, she had to stay in bed for at least three months to stabilize the fetus.
But in the end, the child was miscarried two months later.
The body of the Crown Princess's sister-in-law was completely unable to bear children from then on.
A woman who is infertile is not worthy of being a crown princess.
Very cruel.
But this is the tragedy of women in this era.
The Crown Princess's sister-in-law was demoted to the rank of Concubine. One month later, the Emperor's father made the second daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace the Crown Princess.
On the day the new crown princess entered the palace, she was dressed in red.
The concubine's sister-in-law died of illness in the deep back house a year later.
Leng Lanzhi tapped his knee gently with the middle finger of his right hand, his eyes full of deep thought.
The crown prince's sister-in-law is the legitimate daughter of the old and powerful King Zhuang Xiang. She has been in love with the crown prince's brother since they were childhood sweethearts.
The union of the two is a matter of course.
It was supposed to be a happy marriage sent by God, but it was full of haze because the two had nothing to do after nearly ten years of marriage.
The father and mother were benevolent and did not blame their sister-in-law for being unable to have children.
But after all, they are not an ordinary family, but a heavenly family.
A prince without heirs cannot stand on his own.
Over the years, because the prince has no heirs, undercurrents have surged in the court, and the third brother, the King of Qin, and the fifth brother, the King of Yue, are ready to make a move.
She remembered that during the last two years of her madness, she occasionally listened to the two women who were guarding her talking about the government affairs outside when she was sober.
Her brother, the prince, was deposed, and her third brother, King Qin, became the prince.
Unfortunately, her sober time at that time was too short, and the two mothers-in-law guarded her every day, so they did not know the news from the outside in time.
Therefore, until her death, she did not know whether King Qin had ascended to that position.
She pinched her eyebrows, feeling secretly resentful again.
I hate that I was too love-minded in my previous life.
Although even if she devoted her energy to paying attention to government affairs in her previous life, it might not necessarily be of any use, but at least she wouldn't be as blind as she is now.
Her eyes sharpened.
She will definitely protect the Crown Princess and her sister-in-law! Find out the person behind the scenes!
In the main hall, the order of hierarchy was clear. Leng Lanzhi sat in the first row of the second row of women's seats, and the first row was the seat of the concubines.
Directly in front of her is Concubine Xian, the concubine of her third brother, King Qin.
At this time, Concubine Xian had not arrived yet, but the person sitting on the left side of Leng Lanzhi had arrived. Seeing Leng Lanzhi already sitting there, the person looked at her condescendingly: "I heard that the Emperor's brother-in-law's house has been very lively recently, please come soon." Let me see if the eldest sister is haggard or not?"
The person who came was wearing a pure red princess dress, with luxurious and gorgeous pearls all over her head, and a little plum blossom between her eyebrows, which made her fair and rosy skin look particularly delicate.
Princess Leng Wanyue of Zhaohe, born to Concubine Xian, was a biological sibling of the same mother as King Qin, and ranked second among the princesses.
Since she was a child, she has always competed with Leng Lanzhi about everything and compared herself with Leng Lanzhi about everything.
Except for the consort Shen Yizhi.
Leng Wanyue's heart is as high as the sky, believing that only the best man in the world is worthy of her, and looks down upon the gradually declining Pingnan Hou Mansion.
Despite this, she did not cause much trouble for Leng Lanzhi back then. She often sent people to embarrass Shen Yizhi in private, and told Shen Yizhi every time that these embarrassments were all because of Leng Lanzhi.
Shen Yizhi couldn't bear to see the second princess who he couldn't even see, so he turned his anger on her.
Of course, he has not said these things in this life. He only told her "kindly" after she went completely crazy and lost power in her previous life.
Tell her why he hates her so much.
"I can't compare to the imperial sister. I heard that King Pingnan has frequently admitted new people into the palace in the past two years, and King Pingnan has added a new member this year. I think it will be very hard for the imperial sister to discipline the newcomers and educate the children." She raised her eyes and looked at Princess Showa. At a glance, I was surprised to find: "Ah! There seems to be a wrinkle at the corner of the emperor's sister's eyes?"
Princess Showa suddenly covered her cheeks: "You are talking nonsense! I am only twenty-two years old! How can I have wrinkles!"
She pointed at a lady from the boudoir and asked sharply: "Look, do I have any wrinkles?"
The young lady's face instantly turned pale, and she looked at the two princesses at a loss, not knowing how to answer.
Leng Lanzhi gently fiddled with the tea leaves in the cup and said calmly: "Why do you need to embarrass others, imperial sister? A good thing called the glazed mirror has recently come out in Beijing. The person in the mirror looks like a real person, even the smallest details on the face." You can also see the spots clearly, why don’t you go back and order someone to find a glazed mirror to see for yourself?”
Princess Showa gritted her teeth: "Yuanchuan is not a barbarian land, so it doesn't even have a glazed mirror."
King Pingnan was one of the few kings with different surnames in the dynasty. He had great military exploits and was a hero.
Leng Wanyue's heart is as high as the sky. She believes that only such a hero is worthy of her noble and unparalleled status, so she resolutely marries Yuanchuan.
After getting married, I discovered that there were countless concubines in King Pingnan’s backyard, and from then on, dozens of beautiful concubines were selected from outside to enter the palace every year.
After several years of marriage, Princess Showa only gave birth to a daughter, but she had more than a dozen concubine boys in her belly.
Over the years, Showa worked hard to give birth to a son and searched for folk remedies, but found nothing.
He obviously has a pampered status and is as old as a flower, but now he has wrinkles.
With the arrival of the emperor and empress, the confrontation between the two princesses came to an end.
No one at the banquet looked out for Leng Lanzhi's displeasure. Even Leng Lanzhi stood up and said that Mrs. Zhao was unwell and that Shen Yizhi could not come because he had to attend to his illness at home. Everyone in the hall just exchanged glances silently. I dare not say anything in front of the emperor and princess.
Princess Zhaohe wanted to make trouble for her sister who always suppressed her, but she was stopped by Concubine Xian.
At the banquet, people drank and drank.
Suddenly, a palace maid whispered something in Leng Lanzhi's ear while pouring tea.
Leng Lanzhi's expression changed, he raised his eyes and glanced in a certain direction, then tilted his hand, and the hot tea in his hand spilled on her gorgeous dress.
Leng Lanzhi exclaimed and stood up.
The palace maid hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Princess, forgive me!"
Leng Lanzhi shook the water drops and tea leaves on her skirt, and said calmly: "It doesn't matter. I didn't hold the teacup firmly. I don't blame you. Go down."
The movement she made here was not big, and it did not cause much movement among the sounds of silk and bamboo. Therefore, although someone noticed the situation here, it did not affect the continuation of the banquet.
Princess Showa looked at her with disdain: "I haven't seen you for a year, and the emperor's sister is really getting more and more alive. She can't even hold a cup of tea."
Leng Lanzhi looked at her deeply, rarely confronting her head-on, and left the main hall on the pretext of changing clothes, heading towards the side hall dedicated to changing clothes.
If her guess was correct, there should be someone in the side hall now.
Suddenly, she stopped and looked at the person walking towards her in surprise.
"Gu Diansi? Why are you here?"
Today, her attention was focused on the crown prince's brother, the crown prince's sister-in-law, and those suspicious people, but she didn't realize that the powerful Lord Noriji was not there.
The noble man lowered his eyes and suppressed the wildly surging emotions.
Why here?
Because I noticed what she wanted to do tonight, I guessed that she would appear on this road, and I waited at the end of the long road, just asking for a chance encounter.

Due to physical reasons, I will update the second update today. I couldn't keep my eyes open all day today, and my back was sore every time I sat down.
Keep asking for five-star reviews.
