Every time I wear it quickly, there are always big guys giving it away.

The news that Princess Jiayue was seriously ill spread throughout the court and caused panic in the harem.

During this period, the palace servants were more restrained than usual.

Whenever he passed by Changkang Palace, he wished he could turn into light smoke and not make any sound, so as not to disturb the nobles who were recuperating inside.

Everyone in Changkang Palace was in a state of panic. After all, their master did not look well. He was dying and spent more time in coma than awake.

In the past, these people would have racked their brains to find another way.

But things are different now. In order to pray for Princess Jiayue, the emperor specially allowed palace maids over the age of 20 to leave the palace.

This is such a great thing!

Not only can she leave the palace and marry on her own, but she can also receive a generous amount of money for leaving the palace based on the time she entered the palace and her position level.

Who wouldn't be tempted? Is there any need to scheme for a position in another palace?

Although wealth and glory may be eye-catching, they may cost you your life!

Therefore, there are quite a lot of people going to register.

There is no way to not register. No matter what the reason is, you can't stay!

The four concubines all went to the Queen to make a scene, which resulted in a merciless reprimand, as well as a cut in spending for half a year.

The emperor didn't care about this matter. The concubines, including the four concubines, knew that the situation was hopeless and there was nothing they could do to change it. They could only let the queen's people register those who met the requirements one by one.

As a group of new people came in, a group of palace servants left the palace and gained the freedom they had dreamed of.

By the time the news of Princess Jiayue's death spread, the two princesses who were still in the palace had no time to celebrate, as all the palace servants close to them had been replaced.

It was the middle of the night when the news came.

Princess Ruoyue was awakened by a series of loud noises. She shouted impatiently, "Who is making such a noise? She disturbed my peace. I must give her a good slap in the face..."

"Fifth Princess, you should get up quickly!" The maidservant who served her was full of panic, her voice trembling uncontrollably, "News came from Changkang Palace overnight, the Ninth Princess, the Ninth Princess - passed away -"

Ruoyue was extremely surprised, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

Princess Jiayue has always been in poor health, and the imperial physician once declared: The ninth princess will not live to reach the age of 15!

In recent years, Princess Jiayue's health has gradually improved, which has made them forget about this matter.

It hasn't even been ten days since Princess Jiayue's coming-of-age ceremony, and she's still brooding over the emperor's favoritism towards Princess Jiayue. She's jealous of her for getting so many priceless treasures, and covets her for all the wealth and glory she wants.

Unexpectedly, after coming of age, Princess Jiayue fell ill again.

They didn't think much about it. After all, Princess Jiayue was someone who had escaped death many times.

She thought that this time would be like usual, after being bedridden for a long time, the person would miraculously become active again.

Ruoyue had hoped countless times in her heart that this person would meet with an unexpected accident, but when she really heard the news of her death, she felt dazed. She didn't feel happy or sad at all. She didn't have any special emotions, but there seemed to be some regret in her heart.

"Princess, it's done." The palace servant helped the Fifth Princess put on her plain clothes and gently reminded her that it was time to go out.

Ruoyue nodded, and two palace maids hurriedly took the plain palace lanterns and led the way.

At the intersection, Princess Ruoyue met the Eighth Princess Ruyue, and some other people who were rushing over. They were not very friendly to each other, just nodded coldly, and then walked in the same direction.

Inside Changkang Palace.

The Emperor, Empress and Crown Prince were inside the palace, while they stood outside the palace gate waiting. The entire Changkang Palace was in mourning, and the palace maids were crying in low, mournful voices.

Ruoyue held her breath and listened carefully to the movements in the hall. It was very quiet inside, so quiet that it made people feel panic.

I don't know how long I stood there, but the tightly closed palace door finally opened.

The prince, dressed in black, was domineering and had a cold face.

Ruoyue lowered her head after just one glance, not daring to look up again, for fear of meeting their gaze, afraid that the prince would see her indifference from her eyes.

Ruoyue was not the only one who did this, everyone else did the same, trying to cover up the fact that it was none of their business and yet trying hard to look a bit sad, which really put a lot of pressure on everyone who didn't have good acting skills to begin with.

Ru Yue never raised her head from beginning to end, for fear that others would notice her happiness.

"The princess left suddenly, alas... I will suspend court for one day. Everything will be done according to the eldest princess's specifications and will be supervised by the prince himself. In addition, the age for palace maids to leave the palace will be reduced by eighteen, to accumulate blessings for my son!" The emperor said in a deep tone, and then he took his people away.

The queen held the hands of the two maids, nodded to the prince, and left later.

It was a pity for everyone in the harem. They came here in the middle of the night and waited, and then were shocked to hear something even more unfortunate. They were even sadder than the dead Princess Jiayue!

The team that sent Princess Jiayue to the imperial mausoleum was huge. All the old people in the palace had left, and only the emperor and the empress had two useful confidants each. The confidants of others had long been plucked out, leaving no one left.

It’s difficult to start from scratch!

After the funeral, everyone in the palace had to be vegetarian for a whole month. They were not allowed to wear brightly colored clothes or laugh.

A month later, the palace returned to its former tranquility and normal life.

But Ruoyue knew that everything was very different from before.

Years ago, the emperor graciously allowed the crown prince to leave the palace and build his own residence. The other princes were each awarded fiefdoms and sent far away. They were not allowed to enter the capital without the emperor's order.

Before leaving, the emperor arranged marriages for several princes, all of whom came from families with little power.

Several princes rushed to their fiefdoms with full of grievances, unable to express their pain.

Not only the prince was unlucky, but the princesses also did not escape.

Not to mention the escaped Eighth Princess, the Fifth Princess Ruoyue was promised to the son of Marquis Anding, while Ruyue was promised to the young master of the Hanlin Academy.

Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian:......

I have a thousand MMPs in my heart but I don’t know whether I should say them or not!

The emperor's hobby of matchmaking has not changed after decades!

It is impossible to say that Ruoyue and Ruyue have no resentment in their hearts, but even their mother cannot change the emperor's mind, so there is even less that others can do.

Little did they know that this was the result of a long discussion between the Emperor and Empress.

After the New Year, when the Imperial Master brought Princess Zhenyue back to the palace to report, these things came to them like snowflakes, making the two of them dazzled and astonished.

Before Zhenyue had finished digesting all these complicated things, she learned that her close ninth sister had died of illness.

Zhenyue felt a little regretful in her heart.

If she hadn't been so stubborn and had rushed back with the Imperial Master earlier, she might have been able to see her ninth sister for the last time. Now she can only regret it for the rest of her life.

The emperor, empress and Concubine De all treated Zhenyue harshly. As soon as she came back, she was locked up in many palaces. Only the imperial teacher intervened for her.

After much trouble, Princess Zhenyue finally got what she wanted.

First there was the favor of helping me fall into the water, then there was the favor of Yi County saving my life, and then there was the chasing and matching and daily companionship during this search.

The fate between the two was a natural one, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also played a key role.

"Your Majesty is worried that we won't be able to keep the Imperial Master serving the country for long, and is concerned that he will assist other countries after leaving Canglan. Now is a good opportunity..." The prince calmly persuaded the angry emperor and gave him a reason that he could not refuse.

The emperor calmed down and felt that what the prince said made sense.

Thus, this marriage was brought about inexplicably and unsurprisingly.

Princess Zhenyue, who was waiting to be punished in the palace, didn't come to her senses for a long time.

This is too, too sudden——

Although her mother rejected her because of this, Princess Zhenyue was still full of joy and looked forward to the day of her wedding.
