Later, the emperor casually introduced a few princes and princesses to Ling Xiao. The scene was roughly as follows.

Emperor: This is your elder brother. The eldest prince stood up with a silly smile.

"Your second brother, oh, your second brother just went out for something," the emperor said nonchalantly.

………………

Ling Xiaotong nodded and chuckled in response, not caring about the looks of any prince or princess.

However, some people laughed in their hearts, saying that this princess did not seem to be very smart. No matter how favored she was, she was still just a woman.

If she doesn't seize the opportunity to make friends with the prince, her life will not be easy in the future.

The system indicates that people in their line of work never think about the future. They just run away and don’t care about the flood or the collapse of the world.

"Your mother once discussed with me that if we gave birth to a daughter, we would name her Miaoying. I even joked that I would give my daughter Luoyang as her fiefdom. I thought it was impossible to do so. Who would have thought that God would bless me and let me get what I had lost back."

The emperor said with a slight sigh.

Ling Xiao stepped forward and held the emperor's arm personally. Feeling the skin under his hand stiffen for a moment, he held it tighter.

Finally, a sincere smile appeared on his face, and he said affectionately, "Miaoying, I like this name, thank you, father."

Without waiting for the emperor to be pleased, she sleekly changed the subject and said, "Half of the year has already passed. Is the income from the fiefdom still calculated based on the whole year?"

"You, you little rascal," the emperor pointed at Ling Xiao and scolded, "It seems you are here to curry favor with me just for the money from the fiefdom."

"Father, you are talking nonsense. Parents in ordinary society prepare property and dowry for their children. I have missed out on your love for so many years. Can't I even ask for some money?"

"Okay, okay," the emperor felt a pain in his heart. Yes, my daughter has just arrived at the palace and she only has me as her support. She has nothing, so it is only natural for her to ask for some money from her father.

"Come here, send all the taxes collected from Luoyang this year to Princess Luoyang in Changle Palace."

This sentence points out three issues.

First, the princess’ title has been confirmed, which is Luoyang.

Second, Princess Luoyang's fief was set by her father in the thousand-year-old capital of Luoyang, where the resources are abundant and the people are wealthy.

The third thing is not the court’s business, but those in charge of the palace must understand that Changle Palace belongs to Princess Luoyang.

After the emperor said this, he no longer gave any instructions. Naturally, someone would carry out all his orders and procedures perfectly.

It never occurred to him that anyone would object.

The emperor has been on the throne for many years and holds great power. Everyone in the court has been conditioned to be obedient.

Anyone who dares to complain would have already held a family banquet in the underworld with his relatives in the same household registration book. Those who can stay will have to lick the emperor's decision for no reason.

The emperor turned to his daughter, who looked like his beloved wife, and said softly:

"I will give you some gold and silver from my private treasury for your daily needs. There are too many people in the palace who look down on others. My son, don't be stingy."

The emperor's other children were all jealous. They were all the same before, except for Princess Jingning, who was favored.

It's just that there are more rewards and more opportunities to see the emperor on weekdays, so everyone feels balanced.

When a beloved and cared-for darling daughter suddenly appears, it is inevitable that everyone will feel jealous.

Ling Xiao caught the jealous gaze and smiled provocatively at it without dodging it. He deliberately pinched his throat and said to the emperor:

"Is that all? My daughter hasn't even bought any clothes or jewelry yet."

"What's the problem? Just ask someone to make new ones. I've already picked some for you in Changle Palace. Just bear with it and wear them first."

The emperor didn't care at all about gold, silver and treasures as long as they were not too big.

The emperor is no joke when he says he is rich in the world.

........................

The father and daughter on the stage were having a great time, the atmosphere was warm, and the ministers naturally showed their support, one after another praising their views.

"Alas, only a wise and wise emperor could have a beautiful and intelligent person like Princess Shangtian as his daughter."

After flattering someone, you have to belittle yourself a little to entertain everyone.

The banquet was no longer as cold and quiet as before, and no one mentioned the deposed prince.

In the power war, the losers don't deserve to be remembered anymore!

Yan Cairen forced herself to maintain a smile, and held her daughter tightly with her hands under the table, trying to control her from doing anything rash.

The enemy's glory and your own downfall are separated by less than a moment!

The deep hatred was gnawing at Yan Cairen's heart like a poisonous snake, and she turned to look at her daughter.

Princess Jingning had tears in her eyes as she stared at the laughing crowd motionlessly. Her usually rosy and pretty face now looked pale and pitiful.

Yan Cairen used the opportunity to tidy up her daughter's messy hair and whispered to her:

"Remember the humiliation you've suffered now, Jingning. Your father is cruel and ruthless. You must show more adoration for him and be a good daughter. Only then will you have a chance.

As for Princess Luoyang, Empress Zhangde died of depression in the palace, let alone a little girl."

Princess Jingning was shocked and nodded slightly.

"Being a good sister to Princess Luoyang will be good for you," Yan Cairen said with satisfaction.

Ling Xiao had heard enough of the flattery and became impatient. His expression gradually faded and he spoke directly:

"The banquet has been going on for a long time. I am a little tired. Please allow me to rest early."

The scene was quiet, and everyone was waiting for the emperor's reaction.

The emperor nodded in agreement. His idea was simple: his beloved daughter had traveled all the way from Nanjing to the capital, and was already exhausted. She also had been talking to him for a long time, so it was normal for her to be tired.

My daughter is close to me, so I dare to express my thoughts.

Ling Xiao was about to leave, but suddenly he seemed to have forgotten something and turned back to the emperor and said, "Father, you forgot one thing."

"Oh, what's the matter"

"We have the Hundred Zhangs of Red Dust, but what about the others?"

The emperor suddenly realized and said that he would definitely do it. Ling Xiao left happily.

The father and daughter were playing a riddle, and everyone else was confused. Fortunately, the emperor solved the puzzle the next second.

"Princess Luoyang has returned to the royal family. I am very pleased and I have granted her the right to be welcomed by all officials."

Duke Chengguo was the first to react among his stunned colleagues. Although it was over the line for a princess to enjoy support that even the crown prince might not have, it was not impossible to explain.

For example, the princess is born of a legitimate wife, or the princess has suffered.

So he was the first to agree, and the others hurriedly followed.

The banquet finally ended. Several big things happened during this small palace banquet. The crown prince was deposed, Concubine Yan's family was defeated, and Empress Zhangde's daughter returned to the palace.

It was incredible to everyone involved.
