There are too many girls, which greatly delays my cultivation of immortality.

The Queen's intention was very clear. Unless the Queen Mother personally asked her to modify the list, she would never give in.

The eldest princess understood that this was the queen's opportunity to challenge her. In the past, the queen would not have dared to be so bold in front of her.

She asked Ye Qingchen to come to the capital just to show off his power at the birthday ceremony today and let the world see the sharp sword in the hands of the Queen Mother. How could all the previous efforts be wasted and all the efforts come to naught because of the Queen’s obstruction?

She saw that Ye Qingchen was full of confidence, but she didn't know what his plan was to make the determined queen change her mind.

Ye Qingchen looked at the queen and smiled provocatively: "Empress, little Ye Zi, please consider whether to let me, Miss Shi, and these two guards from the Chu Kingdom go in?"

Originally, the Chu people had decided to let Yan Nantian and Lu Danyang give up going in, but Ye Qingchen didn't expect that Ye Qingchen would take them with him at this time. All the Chu people were surprised and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Hmph!" the queen snorted coldly, "I am the master of the harem, how can I be joking?"

Ye Qingchen smiled coldly and secretly used his spiritual power...

The queen suddenly trembled, pointed at Ye Qingchen and said angrily: "You..."

Seeing her frowning and her face turning pale, Concubine Zhou seemed to be very uncomfortable. She supported her and said, "Queen, what's wrong?"

"No...it's okay!" The queen managed to calm down.

Concubine Zhou angrily scolded Ye Qingchen: "Bold slave, you have made the Queen so angry, why don't you kneel down and beg for mercy. The Queen is so merciful that she might even spare your life!"

Ye Qingchen smiled and said: "How does the imperial concubine know that the queen is angry with me?"

"I'm not angry with you, why is the Queen so uncomfortable?"

Ye Qingchen said: "The Queen will feel even more uncomfortable if she makes wild speculations here and falsely accuses Xiao Zizi!"

As he spoke, he activated his spiritual power to make the hosta more active.

"Ah!" The queen couldn't help but scream.

Concubine Zhou was about to continue scolding Ye Qingchen when the queen pushed her away and said, "Shut up!"

Concubine Zhou didn't know why, so she stood aside in fear, not daring to speak any more.

The queen bent over and held her belly, beads of sweat dripping from her forehead.

Ye Qingchen smiled and said: "Queen, how are you thinking about it?"

The queen gritted her teeth and glared at him angrily.

Ye Qingchen laughed loudly: "At the birthday ceremony today, the Queen Mother and the Emperor are both present, and there are also royal family members watching. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if the Queen suddenly felt unwell or even dropped something?"

"Let... let them in!" the queen yelled at Zhao Xinghai.

"Empress!" Zhao Xinghai thought he heard wrongly and said worriedly, "You...are you okay?"

"I told you to let them in!"

Zhao Xinghai didn't know why, so he could only wave to the sergeant. Everyone put away their swords and got out of the way.

Ye Qingchen glanced at Yan Nantian and Lu Danyang, and said with a smile: "Let's go!"

Zhao Xinghai said: "These two Chu people cannot enter!"

The Queen glared and said: "Whoever he wants to come in, let him in! Let them all go, no one can stop them!"

"Ah?" Zhao Xinghai looked incredulous, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Ye Qingchen walked in with Shi Yingchun, the prince and princess of Chu State, Yan Nantian, and Lu Danyang in a swaggering manner.

The queen suddenly felt relaxed. Looking at their backs, she gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "Slave dog, don't be proud. One day, I will cut you into pieces!"

The group of people beside Ye Qingchen were all shocked.

No one could figure out why the previously arrogant queen, who looked so arrogant that she would not give anyone any face, suddenly seemed to have changed into a different person, and was so controlled by Xiao Yezi.

The queen didn't look in pain, but she was extremely angry. She felt like she was completely controlled by Xiao Yezi and at his mercy. It must be that Xiao Yezi used some secret method to get some handle on her.

Since it is a secret matter, it must be difficult to explain the reason clearly. At this time, there were many people and no one dared to ask more questions.

When Nangong Feiyu saw that Eunuch Ye dared to openly oppose the queen, he was extremely impressed and believed in his sincerity in helping her.

The eldest princess called two eunuchs to lead the Chu people to see the Queen Mother.

She herself took Ye Qingchen to a secluded place and asked in a low voice in surprise: "You bastard, are you even the queen... like that?"

Ye Qingchen smiled and said: "My eldest princess, please don't insult my aesthetics, okay? No matter how lustful I am, I can't do anything to the Queen!"

"Then what happened just now?"

Ye Qingchen suppressed his laughter and whispered into Xiao Qin's ear for a while.

"Pfft!"

The eldest princess couldn't help laughing, covering her mouth and still snickering for a while.

"You are... so bad!" The eldest princess held her stomach and laughed so hard that she couldn't stand upright.

Ye Qingchen said: "Actually, I didn't plot against her at the beginning. It was she who asked for trouble and stole the concubine's hairpin. I just used it as a trick. From now on, this old woman can only be at my mercy. If she dares to say anything to me, Without saying a word, I made her look embarrassed in public, haha..."

"It's really yours!" The eldest princess gave a thumbs up.

Ye Qingchen smiled evilly and said, "Eldest Princess, do you want me to modify the hosta on your head?"

The eldest princess put away her smile and said with a straight face: "You really can't praise me enough. I just praised you a few words and started talking nonsense again!"

After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the middle door of the hall. After taking a few steps, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

She turned around and said, "What are you doing standing there? Come and follow me to see the Queen Mother."

Ye Qingchen followed the eldest princess to the entrance of the palace.

The eldest princess warned: "The emperor and all the concubines are inside. After entering, you must restrain yourself and don't cause trouble!"

Ye Qingchen smiled and said, "I understand!"

"Dog slave!" The eldest princess smiled and rolled her eyes at him.

Walking into the palace, I saw the Queen Mother sitting high on the throne, with hundreds of spirits waiting beside her.

Sitting on the left side of the Queen Mother is a man in his fifties, wearing a dragon robe and bearing a majestic appearance. He is the emperor.

Behind him stood a middle-aged eunuch with a thin face and gray beard, holding a whisk in his hand. When he saw Ye Qingchen, the eunuch's eyes radiated with a fierce light.

There are dozens of seats lined up on the left and right. All the concubines, princes and princesses, some members of the royal family, envoys from Chu State, and important ministers from Qian State were all present. Li Tiangang is also among them.

Because Shi Yingchun was pretending to be a palace maid, she waited on Nangong Feiyan.

On everyone's table, there are tea, cakes, and grapes and tangerines, fruits that are only available in the south at the moment.

The eldest princess and Ye Qingchen came to the Queen Mother and knelt down to worship, first to the Queen Mother and then to the Emperor.

The Queen Mother ordered the two of them to stand up and called the eldest princess to sit on her right side. Ye Qingchen stood behind the eldest princess.

The Queen Mother pointed to the brocade box on the table and said: "Qin'er, come and take a look. This is a birthday gift from the State of Chu to the Ai family. It's called the Moon Spirit Pearl. I heard that this bead is one of the seven national treasures of the State of Chu. One, it’s quite miraculous, this visit from Chu State is really full of sincerity!”

"Moon Spirit Pearl?" Xiao Qin said in surprise, "The name sounds magical. Since it is the national treasure of Chu State, it will open your eyes!"

The eldest princess got up and took the brocade box, opened it carefully and was surprised.

Ye Qingchen, who was standing behind her, looked down and was slightly shuddered.
