The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

Yan Yongchen grabbed Qian Manman's hand and held it tightly, and said in a gentle voice: "Man'er, please be patient. The emperor will protect Concubine Yan."

Qian Manman was not comforted and her body trembled uncontrollably. "But what if, what if the emperor can't protect Sister Xi, my husband must save her and must preserve Sister Xi's life!"

Yan Yongchen nodded and agreed, "Okay."

Qian Manman's anxious heart was relieved a little. Just as she was about to look up to see if her daughter was frightened, she heard the emperor suddenly shouting.

"presumptuous!"

The emperor was furious, and all his ministers knelt on the ground. No one dared to offend the emperor when he was angry. In the huge palace, one could hear a pin drop, and the timid officials and their wives were all shaking with fear.

After a moment of silence, the emperor's cold voice resounded through the hall again, "Concubine Yan is a weak woman who can't even tie a chicken with her hands. She is not a monster, and she has nothing to do with the natural disaster. If there are any villains who dare to make up stories about my woman without any evidence, I will not let them off easily."

"Your Majesty! Being bewitched by evil spirits is a sign of the country's demise! This old minister is willing to risk his life and ask Your Majesty to execute the evil concubine and restore prosperity to our Dafeng nation." The old censor looked angry, as if he was ready to risk his life.

Yu Jinzhou seemed to be so angry that he laughed, "My dear minister, you keep saying that Concubine Yan is a monster. I wonder if there is any evidence to prove that Concubine Yan is related to monsters, or any example to show what kind of actions Concubine Yan has done to harm the country and the people."

The old censor pointed in the direction where Yan Muxi was sitting, "She has a look that will bring disaster to the country and the people. She seduced the emperor to do something against moral principles, which is a disaster caused by seducing the emperor. Even if she is a mortal body and not a monster, she should be executed to restore the integrity of the Dafeng royal family."

Yu Jinzhou also looked at Yan Muxi, "My beloved concubine, do you have any rebuttal to Cao Yushi's accusations?"

Yan Muxi was supported by the palace servants and stood up slowly from her seat. She bowed in the direction of Yu Jinzhou and said, "I have no objection. Everything is up to the emperor."

Yu Jinzhou asked again, "If I execute my beloved concubine according to what Cao Yushi said, will she have no complaints?"

"If the king wants his subject to die, the subject has to die. Countless loyal ministers throughout history have been unable to disobey the king's orders. I am just a weak woman in the harem. How can I complain about the king's order?" Yan Muxi's tone was indifferent, as if she was just talking about unimportant things with others. She had a kind of proud character that was indifferent to life and death and looked down on everything.

In comparison, the frightened queen and the concubines with different expressions on their faces seemed so eclipsed.

Not to mention letting the men present to choose, even if the women were allowed to choose, they would choose the dazzling Concubine Yan without hesitation. It seems not difficult to understand why the emperor would be willing to welcome a woman as beautiful as Concubine Yan into the palace.

Yu Jinzhou looked at Cao Yushi, "Did you hear clearly, my dear? Concubine Yan is just a weak woman who relies on her family and my protection. She is pure and sincere, and she is not worthy of being called a scourge to the country by you. The Qian family donated one million taels of silver to the country, which is a noble act. It is only right that their daughter is granted the title of imperial concubine by the emperor. If Cao Yushi has evidence that Concubine Yan is a scourge to the country, I will give an explanation to the people of the world. If you accuse a weak woman of a crime based on empty words, I will not tolerate your malicious slander."

Censor Cao was still not convinced, but he had no effective rebuttal for the time being.

Concubine Yan entered the palace as the daughter of Qian, but no matter whether she was the daughter of Qian or the second daughter of Yan family, she was qualified to enjoy the emperor's grace of Qian family. To expose Concubine Yan's identity directly would only embarrass the emperor and have no substantive significance.

"Considering that today is New Year's Eve, I will forgive you for your rebellious behavior. Please stand up and take your seats!" After saying this, Yu Jinzhou stood up and walked to Yan Muxi. Under the gaze of civil and military officials and their families, he led Yan Muxi to the seat on his right and sat him down.

The Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager did not attend today's palace banquet. The seat to the emperor's left was the Empress, and the seat closest to his right was empty. The Emperor allowed Concubine Yan to sit next to him, which was equivalent to putting her in the position of deputy Empress.

Censor Cao stepped out and was about to speak again, but was held back tightly by his wife.

The emperor made his favor to Concubine Yan public, telling everyone that Concubine Yan was his Achilles' heel.

Although most emperors would not easily execute the censors in order to maintain the integrity of the court, as a subject, one cannot go against the emperor blindly. If the emperor is really angered, the emperor has a thousand ways to make his subject's life a fate worse than death.

Seeing that the emperor protected her daughter, Qian Manman's heart gradually calmed down. Her daughter had entered the palace, and it was a good thing for her to be protected and pampered by the emperor, but she just felt inexplicably uneasy, more uneasy than ever before.

The little incident did not have much impact on the palace banquet, and soon the noise of dancing, music and toasting was heard in the hall.

Facing wave after wave of gazes, some inquiring, some envious, and some contemptuous, Yan Muxi found it very boring. Halfway through the palace banquet, she left early on the pretext of being too drunk.

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, the master and his servants were walking towards the inner palace gate when Concubine Xian hurriedly caught up with them, "Concubine Yan, Concubine Yan, stop right there!"

Yan Muxi stopped and saw Concubine Xian running towards her aggressively, gritting her teeth and glaring at her, as if she wanted to kill her with a knife.

When the people came closer, she pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Sister Xianfei, why are you not in the Qianqing Palace to accompany the emperor, and why do you have time to come and accompany me to relieve my boredom?"

The virtuous concubine panted and pointed at her nose and asked, "Don't talk nonsense with me. Tell me the truth, are you really a married woman?"

Yan Muxi raised her eyebrows slightly, "Does it matter to Concubine Xian whether I've been married before?"

"It's important, of course it's important. The Emperor is the supreme ruler. If you are a married woman, you still belong to the Emperor, his. In short, you are dirty. How can you be worthy of being contaminated by the Emperor?" Concubine Xian was so angry that she kept jumping up and down.

Yan Muxi's eyelids also twitched, "The emperor doesn't mind the dirt, so how can my sister, Concubine Xian, mind the emperor? Is that any use?"

"The emperor is just bewitched by you. Once he sees your dirty nature, he will never look at you again."

"Really? Then sister Concubine Xian, go back and tell the emperor how dirty and bad I am, so that the emperor will only favor you." After Yan Muxi said this, he turned around and continued walking forward.

Although it was quite entertaining to be with simple and brainless people, she was afraid of being infected with stupidity if she stayed with them for too long.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Concubine Xian hurriedly followed her, "If I were you, I would find a rope to hang myself, or hit my head and die. I would never live in this world and disgust others. How can you be so shameless?"

Yan Muxi looked back at her and said, "Dying is a good idea, but I'm afraid of the pain. Why don't you die for me, Concubine Xian! When Concubine Xian goes to the underworld, I will burn more paper money for you to ensure that you can be reborn in a good way in the next life and get a smarter brain."

Concubine Xian: “…” She was so angry that she didn’t know where to start to refute.

She was furious when she thought about the man she cherished being bewitched by the seductress in front of her and disregarding moral principles for a married woman.

Although she was extremely angry, Concubine Xian calmed down. She gritted her teeth and asked Yan Muxi, "You have been married before, why do you want to enter the palace as a concubine?"

Yan Muxi sighed inwardly. The fool roared for a long time and finally asked the point, "Sister Xianfei should ask the emperor why he wanted to welcome me into the palace as a concubine even though he knew I was married before?"
