The prince disliked her, and the legitimate daughter was reborn and married to the regent

Da'an State was founded 500 years ago, and by the time of the last emperor, it was almost completely wiped out. The previous emperor was incompetent, the ministers were fawning on him, and the court was in a state of chaos.

Four years ago, the barbarian cavalry attacked from outside the Great Wall, quickly conquered several cities, and were about to take the capital city of Luochuan.

The previous emperor was consumed by alcohol and sex, and finally died in the belly of a palace maid. The empress and concubines were childless, and Da'an was in chaos.

Wei Qingjue, who had just come of age and was still the crown prince, raised his arm and led the court officials to fight desperately, and ordered General Zuo to lead the army to repel the barbarians.

Although the previous emperor was dead, the imperial concubine was found to be more than three months pregnant. After checking the daily records, the ministers verified the identity of the heir and nominated Wei Qingjue to temporarily supervise the country.

Seven months later, the imperial concubine gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and the whole country celebrated.

They had a good plan, which was to wait until the prince grew up and then let Wei Qingjue step down.

But no one expected that Wei Qingjue was a bloodthirsty wolf. After he seized power, he slaughtered all the forces in Luochuan.

All the ministers favored by the previous emperor were beheaded by him at the Meridian Gate. The corpses were scattered all over the ground and the blood flowed like a river. In Luochuan City, the bloody smell took three days to dissipate.

Until now, no one dared to easily ask the Regent to abdicate. His iron-fisted approach made people fear and resent him.

He has a cruel personality. If anyone dares to disobey him, he will be thrown into prison and die in extreme pain.

No one wanted to face this evil spirit, but he actually showed up at the coming-of-age ceremony of the prime minister's daughter and spoke wildly.

The person behind Wei Qingjue brought a chair from somewhere, and he sat down in the middle of the hall, spread his legs, and pressed his knuckles lightly.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, you know that even for a princess, the coming-of-age ceremony must be conducted according to the rules, right? How dare this... barbarian who came from nowhere to ask Madam Liu to come to the ceremony of coming-of-age?"

He snorted disdainfully, not noticing Yun Jiao's suddenly twisted expression.

Finally, he got his chance. Yun Fang had always wanted the three-and-a-half-year-old emperor to ascend the throne directly. He hadn't had enough fun yet, so how could he agree?

The prime minister usually doesn't go to brothels, his family is harmonious, and he doesn't drink with other officials to discuss state affairs, so that they can't find any handle on him. So he came to the coming-of-age ceremony to join in the fun. Unexpectedly, there was something really interesting to watch.

His eyes passed over the young girl next to Mrs. Liu Guo and paused for a brief moment. She had a good look, but it was a pity that she had a stubborn father.

Yun Nian's eyes lit up when Wei Qingjue appeared. She remembered this voice and would never forget it even if she turned into a corpse.

If she covered his eyes, he would be exactly the same as the person who ordered her burial in her previous life.

The girl's eyes were somewhat excited and burning, completely different from those of the girls who looked at him as if they had seen a demon.

Wei Qingjue's aura was so terrifying that it made people feel numb all over. No one dared to keep their eyes on him, so Yun Nian's gaze was particularly obvious.

He frowned uncomfortably. Such bright eyes should be dug out. It would be such a pleasant sight to put them together with his collection.

However, if we dig it out, the light won't be that bright. Tsk, let her go for now.

Wei Qingjue wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack again, but Yun Shuo came out.

"Please forgive me, my father was so happy that he forgot the occasion. I believe he has come to his senses now. Today is my sister's coming-of-age ceremony. Please give the Yun family some face."

Yun Shuo was polite and courteous, and every move he made was impeccable. Yun Fang also came to his senses at this time, secretly sighing that he had lost his mind, and bowed to himself to blame himself.

"I lost my mind for a moment and almost made a big mistake. I hope the Regent will forgive me. Today is my daughter's coming of age. I am honored that you can come here, Sisi."

He called out in a low voice, and Yun Nian came forward and bowed.

Her pupils were shiny black, and her eyes were slowly filled with curiosity and joy.

She had never noticed that the Regent's eyes were dark green, like turquoise.

Wei Qingjue frowned. Yun Fang's reaction was quite quick. If he continued to hold on to him, it would seem that he was being mean-spirited.

Never mind, there will always be other opportunities.

Seeing the regent's evil spirit withdrawing and preparing to leave, Yun Fang and Yun Shuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Yun Nian at the side spoke boldly,

"Since the Regent is here for my coming-of-age ceremony, do you have any gifts prepared?"

She herself didn't know why she asked such a question, but she just said it out loud.

Everyone in the audience gasped when they heard her words.

This is the regent who has killed people without a trace and is cold-blooded and cruel. Others have always paid tribute to him, but he has never given anyone a gift. Yet, the prime minister's daughter is so bold as to ask him for a gift.

"Sisi, be so outrageous!"

Yun Fang and Liu Shulan scolded at the same time, and the brother beside them also looked disapproving.

Yun Jiao stamped her feet even more.

"Oh, sister, why are you so rude? How could a man like the Regent prepare a gift for you? Are you out of your mind?"

Yun Jiao ignored him stubbornly and just looked at Wei Qingjue. The words had already been spoken and there was absolutely no reason to change them.

What's more, she just wanted to prove that besides her father and mother, her brother Xiyu, Zuo Mingyuan and Ning Sinian, there would be someone who would treat her well.

Wei Qingjue stared at her solemnly. The girl's eyes were filled with his own reflection.

What a nuisance! How did I get entangled? How come the posture of asking for a gift is like a girl asking for a token of love?

The Regent King expressionlessly tore off the jade pendant on his body and threw it into Yun Nian's arms.

"for you."

After saying that, he turned and left, just as hurriedly as when he came. For some reason, Yun Nian saw a sense of urgency in his back.

However, it’s great that she has a token from her benefactor. She will definitely enshrine it and recite sutras to it every night.

The guests also bowed and left. As they left, Yun Fang shouted coldly,

"Kneel down."

Yun Nian fell to his knees without hesitation, his fragile bones hitting the bluestone floor with a crisp sound.

"What are you doing?"

Liu Shulan pushed Yun Fang.

"She has been spoiled. She even dared to ask Wei Qingjue for a gift. Who is that person? He is an evil ghost who eats people without leaving any bones. He has always disliked the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Yun Fang said this with a look of disappointment, his finger still pointing at her.

"Yes, what my sister did just now was inappropriate. It would be bad if the regent held a grudge against my uncle because of this."

"Look, Jiaojiao is more sensible than her."

Liu Shulan felt a little distressed when she saw her daughter kneeling on the ground, but when she thought that her behavior was indeed out of line, she stopped begging for mercy.

However, Yun Nian didn't care and just knelt on the stone slab. She took the things and knew she would be blamed. Anyway, she was not asked to kneel on the broken vase.

She was thinking nonchalantly, but the housekeeper came over in a hurry.

"Master, the Prince of Jinyang is here."

Ning Sinian? She almost forgot that, apart from Yun Jiao, he was the one who loved to torture her the most.
