Emperor: When will the Seventh Prince rebel? I will open the city gates to welcome him.

After the court meeting was over, Hongxuan returned to Qingyouyuan with the enthronement edict in his hand.

He was accompanied by thirty guards and five palace maids.

These thirty personal guards and five palace maids were the direct guards and maids in the palace granted by Emperor Dingwen to protect Hongxuan.

When the three palace maids saw the returning Seventh Prince Hongxuan with thirty guards and five palace maids, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they immediately knelt on the ground.

Lan'er's lips turned purple and her body was shaking uncontrollably.

"Seventh Prince, please forgive me!"

"Seventh Prince, spare my life!"

The guards and palace maids who had just arrived at Qingyouyuan had no idea what was going on.

I only heard the palace maid Lan'er crying:

"I deserve to die! I will never dare to poison the Seventh Prince again! Never again! I beg the Seventh Prince to spare my life."

When these words were spoken, the thirty guards and five palace maids were shocked.

The leader of the personal guards, Zhao Bencai, drew out his Xiuchun long sword.

"You are so bold! How dare you poison the King of Zhenbei? This is a grave crime that will implicate all of your clan! Your Majesty! I will leave this maid to you. I will make sure she is neither alive nor dead."

The other guards held down the hilts of their swords.

Hong Xuan frowned and looked at the maid Lan'er: "Slap your mouth! Lan'er, your hysteria is getting worse. I will spare you and will not bother with you anymore. Stop talking nonsense!"

"Zhen! King of Zhenbei?"

The three palace maids looked at the enthronement edict in Hongxuan's hand, and the thirty personal guards and five palace maids he brought with him.

They knew that the seventh prince Hongxuan had been crowned king and was not here to kill them.

"Your Highness, please spare my life!" said the palace maid Lan'er tremblingly.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I can't save you."

The palace maid Lan'er slapped herself hard, fearing that she would die if she slapped herself too lightly.

Hong Xuan looked at his personal guards and said, "You didn't hear anything just now! Understand?"

"My subordinate understands!"

Zhao Bencai put away his sword, and the other guards also put down their hands on the hilts.

"Commander Zhao, Commander Peng, take all of my important belongings away. Hui'er, Xiu'er, take your guards with you to pack up your belongings. Once you're done, leave the imperial city and return to the Zhenbei Palace."

"Yes! I will obey the prince's orders!" Hui'er hurried forward and took the edict of enthronement from Hongxuan's hand.

Zhenbei Palace is located in the inner city and is a luxurious mansion.

Hongxuan entered the Zhenbei Palace with thirty personal guards and eight palace maids.

The residence of General Flying Tiger.

Murong Yan was playing shuttlecock with her cousin Murong Qin.

The two girls kicked back and forth.

Murong Yan is as beautiful and graceful as a peony. Her smile is like a blooming spring flower, enchanting. The way she kicks shuttlecock is like a dancing fairy flower, light and elegant.

Murong Qin is as pure and pleasant as the dew, fresh and unworldly. Her eyes sparkle like stars, deep and charming. Her temperament is as quiet as orchid, elegant and holy.

The mistress Wang was chatting with her sister-in-law Li about family matters.

At this moment, the imperial eunuch Shen Qian came to the general's mansion with the imperial guards and the imperial edict.

The steward of the palace hurriedly reported it.

"Holy! Imperial edict?"

Mistress Wang came forward to greet them. Her husband had died in battle at the northern border, and she and her daughter Murong Yan were the only ones in the mansion. Today she had specially invited her sister-in-law Li and her daughters Murong Qin and Murong Tian to come to the mansion for a visit, but she did not expect that an imperial edict would come.

Shen Qian, the chief eunuch in front of the emperor, held the imperial edict in both hands.

"Murong Yan accepts the order!"

Murong Yan was stunned at first and then knelt on the ground with her graceful figure.

"Murong Yan accepts the order!"

Shen Qian, the chief eunuch in front of the emperor, said loudly

"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed:

Murong Yan, with both virtue and beauty, is gentle and virtuous, and is truly a model for women. Today, I specially confer the title of Princess of Zhenbei on Murong Yan, hoping that she will assist the King of Zhenbei in the future, jointly guard the border, and benefit the people.

Admire this! "

Murong Yan was stunned. She looked at the chief eunuch Shen Qian in confusion.

The others were also stunned.

Madam Wang's eyes were red. "How can the emperor let my only daughter, Yan'er, go to the northern border to be the Princess of Zhenbei? My husband died on the battlefield in the northern border."

Mrs. Wang did not want her daughter to be a princess. She would rather her daughter marry a failed scholar than worry about her husband's life every day. Thinking of Murong Jian's death on the battlefield, she was so sad when she received the bad news.

"Murong Yan, why don't you accept the decree quickly?" After the chief eunuch Shen Qian read out the imperial decree, Murong Yan, who was kneeling on the ground, was not happy about becoming a princess. She was reluctant to accept the decree.

If it were someone else's family, they would have offered tea, gold, silver and jewelry to express their gratitude for such a great event.

"I don't want to be the Princess of Zhenbei. My father died on the battlefield in the north."

"Murong Yan! How dare you disobey my order?" Shen Qian, the chief eunuch in front of the emperor, had a fierce look in his eyes.

The guard behind him held down the hilt of the knife.

The six-year-old sister Murong Tian, ​​who was standing nearby, looked at the murderous chief eunuch Shen Qian and burst into tears.

"Wow~! Mother! Mother, I'm scared!" Mrs. Li hurriedly hugged her little daughter Murong Tian.

"Yan'er! What are you doing! How many women dream of becoming a princess day and night! Now that such an opportunity has fallen on you, how can you disobey the order? You! You must obey the order quickly!" Li felt a chill in her heart when she saw the guards behind Shen Qian, the chief eunuch in front of the emperor.

These guards can kill first and report later.

If they dare to disobey the Emperor's order and the news reaches His Majesty's ears, the Murong family will suffer a great disaster.

Wang looked at her daughter Murong Yan and said with gritted teeth, "Yan'er! Obey my order! Don't let your uncle's family be implicated."

"I accept your order."

It was not until Murong Yan said the words "I accept the order" that the fierce and cold eyes of the eunuch chief in the imperial court, Shen Qian, disappeared.

"Congratulations to Murong Yan for becoming the Princess of Zhenbei of Dafeng Kingdom!"

"May I ask, sir? Which prince is the King of Zhenbei?"

Shen Qian, the chief eunuch in front of the emperor, said with a little respect: "The King of Zhenbei is His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince!"

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince?"

"The Seventh Prince? That cowardly, timid-looking Seventh Prince!" Murong Qin couldn't help but exclaimed.

“How dare you! Don’t talk about the Prince of Zhenbei like that. If it weren’t for the advice of the Prince of Zhenbei in Taihe Hall, we would have been fooled by the Beishang Kingdom now, and the consequences would be disastrous.” Shen Qian, the chief eunuch in the imperial court, witnessed the whole process. He was deeply impressed by the Prince of Zhenbei Hongxuan’s brilliant strategies and advice.

"What you don't know is that the Prince of Zhenbei has been keeping a low profile until he made a stunning debut in front of all the princes and ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony! Ignorance is not a crime, and this eunuch will not pursue your mistake. Be careful with your words in the future!" Shen Qian, the chief eunuch in front of the emperor, glanced at Murong Qin with a cold gaze.

"I know I was wrong! I hope you can forgive me, sir!" Murong Qin said timidly.

"This eunuch has already delivered the imperial decree, so I will leave now."

The chief eunuch Shen Qian said he was leaving, but he did not turn around. Instead, he stretched out his right hand and rubbed his five fingers.

Wang hurriedly took out a bulging purse from her sleeve.

Shen Qian, the chief eunuch in the imperial court, weighed the purse in his hand and walked away with a smile.

Murong Qin pulled Murong Yan and said enviously, "Sister! You've become a princess! I'm so envious!"

"If my sister is envious, then you can be the Princess of Zhenbei!" Murong Yan didn't want to be a princess at all.

"I'm serious!" Murong Qin's beautiful eyes lit up, and her breathing seemed a little hurried, "Sister, if you really don't want to be the Princess of Zhenbei, I can do it for you!"

All he heard was Li's scolding: "Qin'er, you are making a fuss! Do you know that the seventh prince Hongxuan is a cowardly and timid prince? He has no power to rely on in the court. It will be difficult for him to survive in the northern border."
