Holding an ordinary script, pretending to be a god in various worlds

The banquet was held in the Huiguang Hall next to the Qujiang Lake. August is the hottest time of the year, and the clothes we had just put on were soon soaked with sweat.

No one at the banquet felt uncomfortable. The imperial palace was the most luxurious place in the empire. There was nothing that people could not do, only things that they could not think of.

Qujiang Lake has beautiful scenery, with sparkling waves and occasional cool lake breezes. This is because along the lakeside, there is an ice mirror every three or two steps, and priceless ice can be found everywhere.

Ling Xiao entered the palace early and occupied a good position with the help of the palace servants. It was hidden but he could see every move on the scene. He waited for the banquet to begin with great interest.

Royal family members and court ministers took their seats one after another, and then the empress and princes arrived late.

The palace servant lowered his head and listened to Ling Xiao's lips moving slightly, "1, 2, 3..."

What is this doing? The palace maids were puzzled.

When the emperor arrived at the banquet, he was alone with a cold expression on his face, and it was completely unremarkable that he was happy.

Everyone in the field was indifferent and silent. They all stood up and shouted "Long live the emperor". Their voices shook the sky and startled the birds. The glory of the world was within reach, but the emperor still walked up the stairs without saying a word.

"Get up"

"Thank you, Your Majesty"

After the process was completed, the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment because no one dared to speak first, and the emperor simply closed his eyes.

Act like you don't want to pay attention to anyone.

Of course, he was the emperor and could ignore the face of everyone under him, but others did not dare to make the situation awkward.

Is there any idiot who would angrily say, "Boss, you called us here but you didn't say anything. Are you kidding us? This is too much."

In front of a powerful person who can control your life, death, honor and disgrace, you'd better not be too tough with your words or too stiff with your posture, otherwise the emperor will let you know what it feels like to die.

"Didn't they say that the emperor favored Princess Jingning the most? Now it doesn't look like that."

Raise the question, say you are the most beloved, why don't you dare to say a word.

"What do you mean by pampering? I give you some clothes and jewelry. Others see me three times a year, but you see me ten times. In comparison, that's pampering?"

Ling Xiao sneered, "People who raise cats and dogs are not so careless. Rich people treat cats and dogs well and spend a lot of money. Do you think the owner will tolerate it if the cat or dog goes against the owner's wishes?"

"It's fake, it's ok to fool people at ordinary times, but if you take it seriously, you must be crazy!"

"But now these are all people, some are even the emperor's children and concubines," said the system.

"For the emperor, everyone must kneel at his feet. He can manipulate them at will. In his eyes, being able to be a cat or dog is already a blessing accumulated in their previous lives!"

The system was horrified, "Then his nostalgia for Queen Zhangde is also fake, why did the host still approach him?"

Ling Xiao leaned slightly and smiled helplessly, "Who let the Lord God down? I am a delicate and weak young lady now, and I can only rely on the power of the tiger to bully me."

"What's more... the emperor still has feelings for Empress Zhangde, who died early and went through many twists and turns and ultimately did not have a happy ending."

At this time, there were changes on the scene. After a long silence, the prince took the lead in wishing the emperor good health and good health, although the emperor ignored them and did not even open his eyes.

The prince was still smiling, gentle and docile, and under his arrangement, the atmosphere finally became warmer.

The ministers and relatives chatted with each other and laughed happily, occasionally casting glances towards the East Palace with approval and admiration.

If the emperor is too powerful, life will be difficult for his subjects. Who doesn’t want the next boss to have a good temper?

"What an idiot!" Ling Xiao looked at him coldly, and his words made the palace servant who was pouring the wine tremble his wrist.

I don't know how you got the position of crown prince in the first place. You know that your father, the emperor, is a monster, yet you still dare to challenge his authority.

So what if the atmosphere at the banquet is awkward? The emperor allows it.

You are so brave to take the lead in breaking this situation and show your skill and kindness.

My God, has the prince ever thought about whether he is the kind of good father who becomes famous by being stepped on by his son?

Ling Xiao brought me in, good, my son has grown wings and dared to step on you, his father. Will he dare to force me to abdicate next time? I will kill him tomorrow!

The emperor opened his eyes at some point and looked at the happy scene below.

Princess Yan saw this by chance and her heart skipped a beat. She realized that her son was too active and gave her daughter a look.

Before Princess Jingning could come out to smooth things over, this was what she usually did.

The emperor's face was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. After scanning the whole audience, he ignored the banquet that had suddenly become quiet and asked the person at the bottom:

"Duke Chengguo, how many days has it been since the Queen passed away?"

Duke Chengguo, who was called, did not pause and answered directly, "Your Majesty, the queen has been dead for sixteen years and three months."

No one knew what the emperor was up to.

After all, Empress Zhangde had passed away for too long, and even though there had been such a big commotion, it was all over for them.

"It's been so long." The emperor sighed and suddenly turned to look at Concubine Yan. "The Queen has been troubled by the Yan family's sacrifices for her over the years."

Ling Xiao: "The old guy is suspicious."

The reason why Concubine Yan survived for so many years was not because she was so cunning, but because the emperor never thought about it deeply.

Originally the old story was covered up, but who would have known that the dead man had a daughter left in the world, who seemed to have a grudge against Concubine Yan.

The old emperor, who was tortured by his own self-admiration, couldn't help but be happy.

Concubine Yan was terrified, but her expression remained calm:

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. The Queen is a saintly woman with great virtue and has taken great care of me. All this is not enough to repay you even a little bit."

"Is that so?" The emperor did not comment, but asked with a warm face:

"Since you are so grateful to the Queen, and your mother's family can even place a tablet of the Queen, then I will give you another chance to repay the Queen. What do you say?"

The whole place was silent, waiting for Concubine Yan's answer.

The Yan family was so shameless that they actually placed the tablet of an outsider in the ancestral temple. People who knew about it at first laughed at them. It was so funny that a dignified Duke would be so flattering.

As time went by, more and more people admired their shamelessness. They had taken too many advantages with this tablet.

Now that His Majesty has given Concubine Yan another chance to "repay" the Queen, the smart people have sensed the meaning.

It’s not easy for Concubine Yan to pass this level!

"Of course I agree." Concubine Yan could hardly hold back her smile.

The emperor nodded happily, and his sharp eyes like a hawk turned to the prince, and said slowly:

"As long as your mother agrees, it's good. The Queen has no children, which makes me sad. Now that the Crown Prince is here, I feel relieved."

Shocking! No one expected that the emperor would change the prince's mother with just a few words.

It has been common for queens to adopt illegitimate children since ancient times, but this queen has been dead for more than ten years.

The bastard's son is already the crown prince, so there is a lot of information involved.

The prince felt as if sitting on pins and needles. He immediately stood up with a cold sweat on his face. He stammered, not knowing how to answer.

It would be heartbreaking for his mother to hear that her son was willing, but how would others view a prince who was so weak that even his own mother could be replaced?

Directly rebelling against his father, the emperor is not a man who loves his children, and who knows how angry he will be.

The prince remained silent for a long time, and the emperor's face was still as cold as ever. Suddenly, he smashed the wine glass on the table onto the prince's head.

"Say!"

The prince was hit on the forehead, his skin turned purple in an instant, and he looked very miserable. “I don’t want to do this.”

Hoping that his father was merely testing his responsibility, he spoke out loud what was in his heart.

The emperor laughed twice, pointing at Concubine Yan, the Crown Prince, Duke Yan, and even his beloved daughter Princess Jingning:

"You are all a bunch of bastards who say nice things. You say that the Queen's kindness is too good to be repaid. I asked you to repay the Queen, but why are you unwilling to do so?"
