Quickly wear it! Fight with the heroine for the man? I'll do it!

Inside the royal garden, the guests were dressed in gorgeous attire, sitting in order of status, chatting and laughing happily with people they knew.

This was the 17th year of Yongle, and the heroine had been named Concubine Shu for two years. At this palace banquet, Xiao Yujin returned triumphantly, was rewarded in public, and was named King of Zhenbei.

Yu Miao adjusted her veil to make sure it wouldn't fall off.

Her appearance was too outstanding, and she didn't want to be noticed by other princes, ministers, etc. and have her plans disrupted.

"Princess, let me help you."

Seeing that Yu Miao was making more and more mess, the maid Bai Zhi couldn't help but come over.

Her voice was soft, but she did things efficiently and effectively. She was the maid who had been with Yu Miao since she was a child.

That’s right, this time Yu Miao’s identity is the only legitimate princess of the Northern Kingdom. Because the Northern Kingdom was defeated in the war, she had to be sent out to marry.

Logically speaking, she would not be sent here at all. Any one of the many princesses in the Northern Kingdom would do. It was just that her biological mother died early, and the current queen disliked her in every way. She whispered in the emperor's ear, making him dizzy, and the matter of marriage fell on her.

With this identity, she also has a biological brother, the eldest prince of the Northern Kingdom, Yu Ruicheng, who loves her dearly. Yu Miao has been in this world for three years and has had several interactions with him, so she can't help but feel a little worried.

Calculating the time, it was time for him to return to the palace. With his violent temper, he would be furious when he heard the news of her marriage.

In this case, there is no hope of him succeeding to the throne.

Thinking of this, Yu Miao couldn't help but sigh.

Bai Zhi listened to her sigh, worry in her eyes: "Don't worry, Your Highness. Although we are a defeated country, our strength is not inferior to that of Qi. You are the legitimate princess of the Northern Kingdom. Qi dare not embarrass you. It's just that your husband..."

She paused and said, "Your husband, the Queen of Qi has promised that you can choose for yourself. I will definitely help you find the best one!"

Although she said so, she secretly felt indignant for Yu Miao in her heart.

Her princess was extremely beautiful, and there were so many brave men in the North Country who were not worthy of her attention. It would be even harder to find one in Qi Country...

Yu Miao chuckled. Is there any need to look for it? She came here just for him.

Softly said: "Let's go."

Bai Zhi stopped talking and followed Yu Miao into the hall.

The area was filled with female guests. They saw a beautiful masked woman walking with graceful steps and a graceful manner, which made them look like a god.

"Which house is this from?"

"I don't know, it's the first time I've seen you."

"Look at this figure, she is actually three points more beautiful than the current Concubine Shu..."

"Hush - you're probably going to lose your life if you talk about the harem!"

Some female relatives also secretly scolded: "Tsk, covering your face, you must be an ugly freak who can't be seen in public!"

When Bai Zhi heard their discussions, she wanted to slap them in the face. How could her princess be allowed to be talked about so casually?

Yu Miao seemed to hear nothing and knelt down to salute the queen who was sitting on the phoenix chair in gorgeous clothes.

The queen smiled back and raised her hand to ask the nanny beside her to help her sit down.

This action shocked everyone. Nanny Gui, who was beside the queen, was an old veteran in the palace. She had been serving the current queen in the prince's mansion. She was led to a seat by Nanny Gui, so it seemed that this woman was of great importance.

No one dared to make any comments.

"The Emperor has arrived——"

After a moment, Xiao Yuanqing, dressed in court robes, entered the hall with several ministers and envoys from the Northern Kingdom. It was obvious that they had just come after the court session.

The queen's eyes moved slightly, she came down from the main seat and bowed gently.

His gaze paused when it fell on Concubine Shu, and he dodged Xiao Yuanqing's empty hand and stood up straight.

The queen stood up, and then all the ministers and female relatives saluted. Yu Miao also stood up and bent his knees slightly.

She seemed out of place among the kneeling crowd. Xiao Yuanqing looked over at her, with a look of understanding in his eyes.

I guess this is the legitimate princess sent by the northern country to marry.

Thinking of this, he was very pleased. He didn't care about the Queen's bad face, and took Concubine Shu's hand and sat down.

"Everyone please take a seat."

Fang Wanrou looked in Yu Miao's direction and her alarm bells immediately rang.

She knew that a legitimate princess from the Northern Kingdom was coming to Qi to marry. Although she could freely choose her marriage partner because of her special status, she did not think that Qi had a better choice than Xiao Yuanqing.

Even for the sake of her motherland, she must climb the highest branch so as to maximize the value of the marriage.

Just by looking at the pair of eyes she showed, she knew she was no match for her.

If she lost Xiao Yuanqing's favor, she would have nothing...

There was peace at the table, except for Fang Wanrou, who seemed to be in no mood at all.

That person came back today.

"His Royal Highness Prince Qi has arrived—"

Xiao Yuanqing's gentle expression froze for a moment before he smiled again.

Over the years, every time he heard the words "King Qi", he always felt unhappy.

Qi State, King Qi...

Everyone in the world knows what the emperor is planning.

"Let him in!" He spoke in an enthusiastic tone, but his eyes were cold.

Yu Miao looked towards the entrance of the hall and saw Xiao Yujin in black uniform, looking vigorous and heroic. He curled the corners of his lips.

It’s even more charming than the pictures given by the system.

Xiao Yujin bowed deeply to the emperor without looking away: "I kowtow to you, my brother!"

The sound is also very nice.

Xiao Yuanqing said no need to be polite, but he did not go forward to help him up, and he did not even reward him with a seat.

"The Northern Expedition was a success?"

"Yes."

"Thank you for your hard work. What reward do you want?"

"I dare not do that. This is what I should do."

Xiao Yuanqing pondered for a moment and said, "How about this? I haven't decided what to promise you yet, so I'll owe you something first. When you think of something special you want, just tell me."

"Thank you, Brother Huang."

Xiao Yujin stood up and was shocked to see the two people sitting at the main seat——

His brother's hand was around Wanrou's waist. The person he had been thinking about, the person who had said she would wait for him to come back and marry her, was now dressed like a palace concubine.

Fang Wanrou clenched her fists and her face turned pale.

This day has come.

Xiao Yuanqing looked at the two people's reactions and smiled with satisfaction.

He knew that his younger brother and the woman in front of him had a passionate love story, but so what?

He, Xiao Yuanqing, is the one with the highest power. The country, women, especially the woman Xiao and Jin love, all belong to him.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, this is Concubine Shu, the new concubine we took in two years ago. I heard that you two are close friends? Haha, what a coincidence."

As he said this, he smiled dotingly at Fang Wanrou, who forced herself to force a pale smile, not daring to look at the person below.

Xiao Yujin still maintained the posture of saluting, his mind in a mess. His logic told him that he should say something wishing them a happy marriage, but his lips were trembling and he couldn't say anything.

The other ministers in the hall looked at each other in silence.

In the capital, everyone knows that Fang Wanrou from the general's mansion and the Ninth Prince's childhood sweetheart are about to get married, but the emperor insists on intervening and stealing his younger brother's wife.

But who dares to talk about the secrets of the royal family?

Are you trying to kill yourself?

Xiao Yujin didn't even know how he was led to his seat. He was like a walking corpse, mechanically drinking one glass of wine after another.

Yu Miao was sitting in the row opposite him, observing him quietly.

He sighed slightly. After all, he was at an age full of vigor and vitality. Who could withstand such a thing?

I hope he can be stronger and withstand what is going to happen next.
