After listening to Feng Tingjing's narration, Yun Jingxi's face became even gloomier.

He didn't expect that this seemingly simple case of dowry burning would involve so many secrets and conspiracies.

In order to thoroughly find out whether this matter is related to Prime Minister Liu, it is necessary to conduct an in-depth investigation into the relationship between the Xiao Mansion and the Prince Duan Mansion.

At this moment, behind the screen, Feng Ruoyan's mind had already been attracted by the emperor's temperament.

She originally thought that the emperor would be a majestic middle-aged man, but she did not expect that the man in front of her was so young and handsome, as if he was a god walking out of a painting.

Feng Ruoyan's heart was beating fast, and Hongluan's heart was also moved. She was deeply attracted to the emperor.

In her eyes, even the Prince Duan, who once made her heart beat, could not be compared with the emperor in front of her.

Feng Ruoyan secretly made up her mind that she must become the emperor's woman. Only in this way could she become the most noble woman in the world and have everyone look up to her.

Just when her heart was pounding with excitement and full of anticipation, she got carried away for a moment and accidentally bumped into the stool behind the screen.

The slight sound was particularly harsh in the silent hall.

Yun Jingxi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young woman hiding behind a screen and secretly peeking at him.

"Who?" Yun Jingxi asked angrily.

His eyes were like knives, shooting straight at the screen.

Feng Ruoyan was frightened by the sudden roar and her face turned pale. Although she was panicked in her heart, she tried to remain calm on the surface.

She took a deep breath, slowly walked out from behind the screen, then knelt on the ground and paid her respects to the emperor.

When Feng Tingjing saw that it was his ignorant daughter, he felt angry.

He has been spoiled since childhood and doesn't even know the most basic rules, and now he dares to make trouble here.

He had no choice but to explain to Yun Jingxi: "Your Majesty, my daughter Feng Ruoyan was young and ignorant, and she offended the emperor. I apologize on her behalf. She only came here by mistake on impulse, and she had no other intention."

He turned to Feng Ruoyan, a stern look flashed in his eyes, and shouted in a deep voice:

"Ruoyan, why don't you leave now! This is not the place for you to be. How can you be so ignorant of the seriousness of the matter!"

Feng Ruoyan was unwilling to give up.

She bit her lower lip and pleaded with Yun Jingxi:

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. But I really wanted to see you in person because I admire your majesty. I promise that I will never make such a mistake again."

Yun Jingxi's eyes were cold as he glanced at the ignorant little girl in front of him, with obvious displeasure and contempt in his tone:

"Oh? Admiring me? Do you know that saying this without any real evidence is disrespectful?"

Feng Ruoyan's heart tightened, but she had already come this far and could not turn back.

She raised her head and looked directly into Yun Jingxi's eyes:

"I know, but every word I said is true. Your Majesty is wise and brave, unrivaled in the world. I admire you and am willing to give you everything."

As soon as she finished speaking, the whole hall fell into silence.

Li Meir's face gradually became ugly in the silence, and she glanced at Feng Ruoyan calmly.

What a fool.

She thought the emperor was a good man.

If I hadn't been prepared and taken some pills to strengthen my body and refresh my mind beforehand, and if I hadn't practiced the Heart Sutra at the Ghost Gate, I would have probably died from the torture that night.

Just because she is a little girl who hasn't even reached marriageable age, she wants to climb into the emperor's bed?

Feng Tingjing stood aside, already sweating profusely.

He never thought that his daughter would have such a bold idea that she would dare to openly seduce the emperor.

This is totally shameless. If this gets out, how will the Feng family maintain their reputation?

Yun Jingxi's expression also changed slightly. He had never seen such a direct and bold woman.

"You know, not just anyone can enter my harem."

Although Yun Jingxi's tone was cold, he no longer had the impatience he had before.

Feng Ruoyan was delighted, she knew that her words had attracted Yun Jingxi's attention.

She said quickly: "I know, but I don't ask for a title. I just want to stay by the emperor's side and help him solve his problems."

Yun Jingxi looked at Feng Ruoyan and had already made a decision in his heart.

"Okay, since you have this intention, I will give you a chance."

After saying that, he turned around and instructed Eunuch Gao beside him: "Bring her with you when you return to the palace and arrange a place for her to live."

Eunuch Gao is an old man in the palace and knows the emperor's thoughts very well.

He glanced at Feng Ruoyan and sighed in his heart. Although this girl was very courageous, she ultimately failed to gain the same favor from the emperor as Li Meir.

Before Feng Tingjing could recover from his shock, his daughter was about to enter the palace and become the emperor's woman.

Eunuch Gao reminded him, "Master Feng, hurry up and thank me."

This reminder was like a heavy hammer, instantly awakening Feng Tingjing from his shock.

He hurriedly bowed his head and respectfully thanked Yun Jingxi, but his heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

At the same time, he thought that perhaps the emperor would forgive his past mistakes because the Feng family had two female relatives entering the palace at the same time.

Yun Jingxi didn't care about Feng Tingjing's inner thoughts at all.

He had long seen through Feng Tingjing's character and knew that he was just a person who fawned on the powerful and changed his attitude according to the situation.

The reason why she is so tolerant towards the Feng family now is just to give face to Feng Tingjing because Mei'er and the Feng family's daughter are about to enter the palace.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore."

Feng Tingjing hurriedly saw the emperor off.

Later, Eunuch Gao brought the imperial edict for the enthronement.

Everyone in the Feng residence knelt on the ground, listening to Eunuch Gao read out the imperial edict.

"The Emperor, by the Will of Heaven, summons:

Today, there is a beautiful lady named Li Meier, who is prudent and mature, diligent and honest in her duties, gentle and kind, and a good wife. She has won my heart and should be rewarded to show her virtue. I have specially appointed her as my concubine, bestowed the title of Chen, granted her residence in Changchun Palace, ranked among my concubines, and shared the joy of family life with me.

Admire this! "

Li Meir knelt on the ground, her heart filled with excitement and joy.

This moment, she had finally waited for.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"Everyone, please stand up."

"The Emperor has specifically instructed that Concubine Chen should immediately accompany this eunuch to the temporary palace to serve him."

Eunuch Gao respectfully conveyed the emperor's will.

"Concubine Chen should bid farewell to her family as soon as possible and pack up your belongings. The Emperor also specifically mentioned that your maidservants can also go with you."

Feng Tingjing knelt aside, waiting for his daughter's imperial edict.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.

He asked cautiously, "Eunuch Gao, I wonder if my daughter has an imperial decree?"

Eunuch Gao seemed to have just remembered and quickly apologized, "Lord Feng, I'm so sorry, your daughter Feng Ruoyan has also been named a concubine. Although she is only a concubine, who knows what the future will be like. You don't have to worry too much. After all, your daughter is not yet of marriageable age. It would be inappropriate for the emperor to favor her at this time."
