Every time she went out to participate in activities, the queen always smiled at her and acted very intimately, which made people feel that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was very close, but she still felt like there was a layer of separation between her and the whole family did not regard her as a real family member.
Li Ningbi has long learned to live with a mask, and her beautiful and elegant image makes her very prestigious in the hearts of ordinary people.
But it took her many years to integrate into the social circle of the wealthy star family in the Imperial Capital.
Being a princess is tiring, but Li Ningbi is still willing to bear the hardship and honor. She knows very well that she and the Li family can no longer do without this identity.
Prince Yan Chengyu was regarded by everyone as the favored son of heaven. He was born in a noble family, had amazing talents, was tall and handsome, and was the most outstanding heir to the empire.
At the beginning, Li Ningbi was also full of enthusiasm and wanted to have a good relationship with the prince and develop a relationship. However, Yan Chengyu had an arrogant and cold personality and was looked down upon by most people. The engagement to her was also the emperor's decision and he had no good impression of Li Ningbi at all.
But people in the royal family are good at pretending, and Yan Chengyu will show affection in public, making the people of the empire cheer and bless a lot of people, so as to increase the prestige of the royal family.
Li Ningbi tried hard for a long time, but still couldn't get into Yan Chengyu's heart, which made her very angry.
She has outstanding appearance, extraordinary intelligence, and is also an amazingly talented pharmacist. Except for her family background, she is not as good as those noble ladies from aristocratic families. Why is it that His Highness the Crown Prince looks down on her?
Originally, Li Ningbi thought that after they got married and officially became husband and wife, their relationship might become closer. Every day, she hoped that the prince and she would succeed in their studies and hold a wedding after graduation.
The sudden appearance of the Zerg took away the attention of the entire empire. For this reason, the emperor had no time to consider the prince's marriage.
The queen also comforted her that they were still young and it would not be too late to get married in a few years. Anyway, they were already engaged and she would be the royal wife sooner or later.
What could Li Ningbi say? She suppressed the resentment in her heart and pretended to be generous to express that she understood that the prince had just graduated and should study government affairs well and help his majesty more, so as to save the emperor from having to work hard every day on state affairs.
Li Ningbi's general knowledge was praised by the emperor and his wife. Yan Chengyu remained silent and indifferent. He was still the same towards his beautiful future wife, neither liking nor hating her. Anyway, he didn't want to get married now and would wait for a few years.
Later, what made Li Ningbi very dissatisfied was that Yan Chengyu actually joined the army to fight against the Zerg. Now the whole family unanimously opposed it. They didn't understand why Yan Chengyu, who had always been cautious, calm and wise, insisted on joining the army to fight against the Zerg instead of being a good prince. ?How dangerous that is!
What did Yan Chengyu say to His Majesty in private in the end? He took dozens of his personal guards and left.
Li Ningbi knew that he followed the First Army, went to the front line and fought against the Zerg, and became a national idol. It would only last three or two years. Will Yan Chengyu never come back if the Zerg is not eliminated?
Li Ningbi endured all kinds of grievances in the palace, and carefully tried to please everyone in the royal family. This made her receive praise from many people, and she became more and more like a qualified imperial princess.
The only thing that irritates me is that I don't have a deep relationship with the prince. I haven't spoken to him sincerely for several years. Every time I just say a few cold words. Even if the war is tight, isn't there anything I need to tell her as my future wife?
Every time Li Ningbi thought about it, the flames in her heart soared, but she could only hold it in. Now she wanted to ask the emperor and empress to save her parents. She needed to muster the courage. Even if her good image in the past was ruined, she would still try, because Her parents are very important to her, and she cannot live without them.
After repeated considerations, Li Ningbi finally made up her mind. Even if she was scolded by the queen, she would still give her parents a chance to survive. Even if everyone else died, as long as her parents lived, she would be an orphan without her parents. Her daughter is gone. As long as her parents live to develop the family, her situation will be better.
In the emperor's palace, Queen Yang Manlin was thinking about what his majesty told her, looking embarrassed.
She has no prejudice against Li Ningbi. It is not surprising at all that the wife her husband chose for his son is not from a wealthy family.
The royal family was married to aristocratic families, which resulted in the dispersion of imperial power. Gradually, the empire's rule was not as good as in the early days of the empire. Lessons were learned. The subsequent queens were not from big families. The only bad thing was that girls needed to be trained from scratch, and all kinds of etiquette and social entertainment .
His Majesty chose Li Ningbi. The queen had no objection, but her son obviously didn't like it.
Ning Bi is a beautiful, intelligent and talented girl. Unfortunately, her son has high vision. There are so many beauties in the Imperial City. There is no girl that he can like. His Majesty chooses the wife for him. He does not refuse, which means that all women Same, you can marry anyone.
So an engagement ceremony was held a few years ago, which made Li Ningbi from a girl from a small family to a princess, famous throughout the empire.
Time flies by a few years. Originally, a wedding was supposed to be held for their two children as soon as they graduated. However, the couple felt sorry for their son. Cheng Yu had been under so much pressure since he was a child and never had the life he really wanted, so the marriage was never planned. Dragging.
Until the Zerg invaded the empire, Cheng Yu insisted on joining the First Army, but His Majesty had no objection and thought it would be good for him to join the army for training.
A year later, several large armies were defeated on the battlefield. The courtiers clamored for the First Army to go into battle. Under pressure, His Majesty agreed to send the First Army to fight against the Zerg. Cheng Yu actually went with him, and finally became the one to fight against the Zerg. Main force.
Queen Yang Manlin argued with the emperor for several days before she calmed down after Yan Zexi's explanation and calmly faced the reason why her son went to the battlefield.
Cheng Yu has extremely high supernatural talents and has been taught by famous teachers since he was a child. However, despite his talent, he has zero practical ability.
One year, the three of them, a brother and a sister, went out to play and strayed into a dangerous place. All the guards were killed or injured. In the end, they met a few students and walked together, and they were able to save their lives.
He has always cared about his powerlessness back then. He had the best talent, the guidance of a top teacher, but his strength was not as good as that of a few students. This made him grudge. To this day, he wants to fight against the Zerg to prove his worth. Not a waste with only talent but no ability.
After making thorough preparations, the emperor had no choice but to agree, hoping that his son would truly grow up and become a qualified heir to the empire after his return.
Now that her son is on the battlefield, the wedding will be postponed. Fortunately, Ning Bi is very knowledgeable and does not cry like an ignorant woman. Yang Manlin can't help but feel a little guilty. Cheng Yu is indeed a little indifferent to Ning Bi.
Because her son was away at war and Ning Bi had to wait a long time, Yang Manlin's attitude towards Li Ningbi had been very good in the past few years.
She did not expect that His Majesty would be furious because Ning Bi secretly reported the Zerg outbreak in the mid-level galaxy to her parents' family, and asked her to beat Ning Bi, which made Yang Manlin very embarrassed.
It is natural for a mother-in-law to discipline her daughter-in-law, but she also has to be a good teacher. Just because Ning Bi knew the news and asked her family to take refuge in the Imperial City Star, it was too unreasonable to blame her.
But the way her husband was fuming, it seemed like Ning Bi had broken something big. Could it be that there was something inside?
The specific content of Cheng Lang's prediction was only known to the ministers and the emperor who were present at the time. There was no external news. What was spread was news that had nothing to do with the overall situation. Who knew that this single oversight would lead to an irreversible situation.
How could the queen know these inside stories? Although Yang Manlin was a queen, she was not interested in the military and political affairs of the previous dynasty. Of course, it would not be difficult for her to really want to know. However, the queen was very measured and only did things that were in line with her status. She never went beyond the limits to make the emperor unhappy. .
