Everyone immediately looked at Qingyi.
“What's up, Princess Consort Changle?” ask Emperor Baili
“What is Your Majesty in such a hurry? King Changle has not returned. Could it be that His Majesty has not considered him anymore?”
Emperor Baili's gaze darkened.
“Good time should not be wasted. I'll explain it to uncle when he comes back.”
Qingyi nodded lightly as if underestimating Emperor Baili's words.
“Oh, then, continue.”
Emperor Baili had already lost interest in continuing his words. Then, he told his main eunuch to come forward.
“Randomize the decree!” the emperor's word.
The main eunuch nodded, then spread out a dragon-patterned and golden silk cloth wide. He started reading letter by letter printed there in a loud voice.
“Prime Minister Bingyue, Liu Wang, has been devoted to the palace for decades. His services are so great and cannot be counted. He has entered old age. He was allowed to retire and resign from his position. In retaliation for his services, the Emperor granted grace by allowing his daughter to enter the imperial palace and continue her fight,” the main eunuch took a short breath. Qingyi yawned lazily.
“Liu Erniang, youngest daughter of Prime Minister Liu Wang, talented and beautiful. He is gentle and kind. By the Emperor's grace, she was given the title of High Concubine of Xian and was granted a palace along with forty servants.
Back then, Baili Qingchen was still waiting outside the palace. From far away, Cui Kong ran as fast as he could in a panic. He ran away like a demon. But, what he had to say was far more terrible than the demon itself.
“Your Majesty, snob! Small rice ball would-be prince kidnapped!”
Instantly, his eyes widened. This is definitely Qingyi! It turned out that this was the reason he was being nice and pretending to obey! Baili Qingchen did have a plan to immediately inform his nephew and bring Baili Wuyuan to the palace, but instead lost first and lost quickly!
His wife is crazy! He intended to give a very unexpected gift to the imperial family!
“Quick, return to Xueyue Hall!”
With a thousand steps, Baili Qingchen and Cui Kong ran towards Xueyue Palace. When they arrived, the main eunuch had just finished reciting the decree. Liu Erniang was still kneeling on the floor and waiting.
Baili Qingchen regulated her breathing, then walked slowly to her seat.
“Nona Liu, please,” says main eunuch.
Liu Erniang was overjoyed. He thought disaster was avoided. With trembling hands, he was about to receive the scroll of the decree. Once the decree was in his hands, then his status would become legitimate.
But, his expectations were too high.
“Wait!” yell Qingyi again.
Everyone looked back at him again, including Baili Qingchen and Cui Kong.
“What else, Princess Empress?” ask Emperor Baili.
Liu Erniang choked, then turned his head and stared intently at Qingyi. Really, her brother had put it off and ruined the atmosphere! Come on, can't he wait until the scroll reaches his hand?
“Where did you hide Baili Wuyuan?” baili Qingchen whispered. Qingyi did not reply, she instead grinned and said, “Time to watch the show.”
Qingyi stood up, then raised her head. His clear eyes stared directly at Emperor Baili. There was a flash that made Emperor Baili a little nervous when he looked at him.
The same aura came out for the third time. The ministers all paid attention. They were surprised that their emperor could be a little shaky just from being stared at by Princess Empress Changle.
“The granting of this Xian High Concubine title seems to be in too much of a hurry. Though, Your Majesty has something more urgent to resolve,” Qingyi said calmly.
“Oh? What urgent matter do you mean and you want me to finish?”
“Bring him here!” exclaim Qingyi.
Then, Yinghao in the form of – servant Xiao Ying, entered the hall while guiding Baili Wuyuan. Qingyi hid the little boy in the dimensional space, putting him to sleep until the time came.
Cui Kong turned his back on disbelief when he found out the person who kidnapped the little rice ball of the would-be prince was the Princess Empress herself.
Seeing a small child walking into the hall, various questions came to people's minds. They spontaneously distracted, staring at Baili Wuyuan from head to toe.
The lines and contours of the little boy's face, how could it be so similar to Emperor Baili?
Qingyi glanced at Baili Qingchen for a moment. His usual smile came out, not a creepy wolf grin. “You explained,” he said.
It's a responsibility, Baili Qingchen thought. The problem was already like this and there was no way back. Baili Qingchen had to postpone the plan because his wife messed up. Then let him participate in this show as well. That way, his task might be able to finish one.
“Your Highness, he is your son, Baili Wuyuan,” Baili Qingchen said.
Everyone was surprised, not playing.
“What do you mean, Uncle? I don't have a son yet!”
Emperor Baili knew exactly who his concubines were and which women he cared about. No one was pregnant or giving birth. Where does a son come from?
He felt that his uncle and aunt deliberately wanted to ruin the banquet to take revenge on him and the prime minister for being dissatisfied!
Baili Qingchen resumed her words. He recounted how Baili Wuyuan came to the imperial city of Bingyue and what evidence he had in order to verify his identity.
When Baili Qingchen explained about the emperor's visit to Fujian seven years ago, Emperor Baili was reminded of something.
“You're Li Fengran's son?” emperor Baili asked Baili Wuyuan.
She now remembers that a woman once pulled her heart out in Fujian and she fucked her and left a golden plaque for her.
Baili Wuyuan nodded. He looked down and saluted.
“Greetings to father,” he said. His voice is typical of a child.
Emperor Baili unexpectedly stepped down from his throne and took a closer look. He crouched down before Baili Wuyuan, holding onto the little boy's hands and face to make sure that this was his flesh blood. Aye! Even Baili Wuyuan's face was similar to his as a child! This child is really his son!
Pleased and shocked were very clear in the face of Emperor Baili. He was shocked because a child suddenly came and claimed to be his son. He was happy because after all these years of being emperor, he finally had a descendant, and again a man! Now, he didn't have to worry the ministers urged him anymore!
“Your Highness, then what about His Majesty's promise?” ask the prime minister.
Once again, her immortal daughter hit her head from behind with a very hard object. The prime minister regretted that day not killing Qingyi and instead sent him to King Changle's mansion. The prime minister doesn't want Liu Erniang's future screwed up because of this.
Empress Dowager Ming who had long awaited the presence of a granddaughter instantly understood the situation. He smelled of conspiracy and coercion. Her instincts as a mother instantly emerged. He could not let his newly arrived first grandchild be in danger.
Empress Dowager Ming knew her son's changing thoughts and heart within moments. He advanced, and with great dignity said, “Yan’er, Princess Consort Changle said correctly. You have an urgent problem that you need to solve.”
Emperor Baili then looked at the prime minister and Liu Erniang. After a while, he turned to the satisfied smiling Qingyi and Baili Qingchen. Then, he looked at everyone.
Lastly, he returned his gaze to Baili Wuyuan. Everyone was waiting for an impatient response.
“I always keep my promises. Liu Erniang remained in the palace and the Prime Minister was formally impeached. Prime Minister, are you satisfied?”
The prime minister is confused. Is he satisfied? Or not satisfied?
“Don't expect more. Mother, about the awarding of her title, I leave it to Mother only.”
If this was dimensional space, Qingyi would already be jumping in excitement and cheering on her big bed. This was what he meant to be flown sky-high and then dropped to the ground.
Uh, it must have hurt. Qingyi never messed with his words. He said he would surprise a big show. The eagle had managed to peck a phoenix until it fell!
Liu Erniang's shoulders that were originally upright began to drop until they drooped. All his power seemed to disappear instantly. Goddamnit! Only a little more and he can fly high.
Who would have thought Qingyi dropped it so easily. Not only that, he also gave a big problem to the empire by bringing an emperor's illegitimate son into the palace.
This is the meaning of this wedding dress. With this dress, Qingyi deliberately catapulted her into the air, leaving her overpowered with wishful thinking. Then, he dropped it in one hit.
The prime minister and Mrs Gao cannot go against orders. They both drooped and lost their spirits.
Qingyi walked over to her sister. He crouched down, picked up the scroll of the decree and forced Liu Erniang to hold it tightly. His behavior was witnessed by everyone.
They shuddered because it turned out that Princess Empress Changle was so terrible when fighting against her family. Unmitigated, he took down his biological father and made his sister no more like a prisoner who would be locked up in the palace forever.
“Do you like my wedding gift?” ask Qingyi.
Liu Erniang stared angrily at him. Qingyi brought her face closer, then whispered in Liu Erniang's ear, “Hold carefully the scroll and enjoy the rest of your life that is like this trash.”
