***Wei Kingdom Institutions***
The entourage of Emperor Wei arrived at the palace and was greeted by high-ranking officials and their families, who were invited to attend tonight's event and to stay at the palace.
The invited guests were waiting at the palace because Emperor Wei only brought Queen Wen, Consort Ming Lan, Wei Wu Xian, Chang Le, and others, and Chang Ru to the capital Luoyang to welcome the arrival of the representative alliance from the Southern Tang Kingdom.
The Wei Emperor's entourage split into three groups. Emperor Wei and Wei Wu Xian headed to the meeting hall to discuss the peace treaty with the representative alliance of the Southern Tang Kingdom.
They were both followed by high-ranking officials and great generals. Wei Bu Yi, General Li Jin, General Liu Bei, Li Ming, and Feng Xi will join the meeting hall, while Prince Tang Jin and the two high-ranking officials of the Southern Tang Kingdom also joined the meeting hall. The three brands represented the Southern Tang Kingdom.
While Queen Wen and Consort Ming Lan were in charge of arranging rooms for the lodging of the invited guests and their families. Therefore, the wives and daughters of the invited guests were divided into two groups to follow Queen Wen and Consort Ming Lan.
Ying Ying aka Chang Le was calm as she belonged to Queen Wen's group. Besides Ying Ying, Chang Ru, Yang Zi, and Princess Tang Yan were also within the same group.
Princess Tang Yan smiled amiably throughout the journey. Even Princess Tang Yan deliberately walked side by side with Ying Ying, while in front of them Yang Zi and Chang Ru walked side by side.
"Princess Tang Yan clearly seems to like Bu Yi and is now being friendly towards me. There must be some hidden intent!" inner Ying Ying.
A little while later, they arrived at a part of the palace with a vast garden. There are even chairs and tables around the park that can be used to rest.
"This is Yang Zi's room!"
"This is Chang Ru's room!"
"This is Chang Le's room!"
"This is Princess Tang Yan's room!"
"Thank you Queen Wen!" replied Chang Ru, Yang Zi, Ying Ying, and Princess Tang Yan simultaneously.
"You can rest in the room or garden. The palace dayang will pick you up at six in the afternoon to the banquet hall!"
"Good Queen Wen!"
The four of them answered simultaneously and saluted to usher in Queen Wen's departure.
Chang Ru went inside her room first, followed by Yang Zi.
"See you at the dinner tonight, Miss Chang Le!"
"See you, Princess Tang Yan!"
Ying Ying knew Tang Yan's innocent and friendly demeanor was all fake so even Ying Ying retorted with the same attitude.
Tan Xiang followed Ying Ying from behind while arranging some palace maids who helped carry Ying Ying's equipment items.
***
Thirty minutes later, Chang Ru came out of the room to look for Yang Zi. Actually Chang Ru's main purpose was to make sure the room Yang Zi and the others were inhabiting was as large as his room.
Ning Ning, Yang Zi's personal servant opened the room door and let Chang Ru in.
Chang Ru smiled smugly seeing that all the furniture in Yang Zi's room was exactly the same as her room.
"What's Chang Ru?"
Chang Ru could feel Yang Zi's attitude today was very different
Normally Yang Zi would welcome Chang Ru with a carefree and smiling face.
"Let's have tea together in the garden!"
"I want to rest in my room! You drink your own tea!"
"That's arrogant! When I became the crown princess, I didn't want to be friends with you anymore either!" inner Chang Ru.
The sound of knocking on the door from outside made Ning Ning open the door of the room again.
A Ling walked into the room followed by a palace ladyboy.
"Miss Chang Ru! Dayang Queen Wen is looking for you!"
"What's wrong?"
"Queen Wen wants to meet Miss Chang Ru!"
Chang Ru nodded her head, then turned to Yang Zi. "Yang Zi's! I'm busy seeing Queen Wen now. Happy resting!"
Chang Ru was satisfied to successfully reply to Yang Zi's refusal, but the continued words from the palace attendant made the smile on Chang Ru's face disappear instantly.
"Queen Wen also invited Miss Yang Zi!"
"really? Why not tell me from the beginning? Quickly get me there! I don't want Queen Wen to wait too long!"
Yang Zi stood up from the chair and pulled the hand of the palace lady-in-waiting to show her the way to meet Queen Wen.
Of course Chang Ru was unwilling to lose so the two of them ran small to get ahead of each other. A Ling and Ning Ning followed them from behind.
The incident was known to Ying Ying through the power of long-range hearing magic so Ying Ying smiled faintly.
"Chang Ru was indeed a fool and thought Queen Wen wanted to see him for a good thing. I'm sure Chang Ru will cry later!" inner Ying Ying.
Ying Ying placed the clay statue on top of the bed. Ying Ying's magic power turned that clay statue into a fake Ying Ying.
"Okay, Miss Chang Le!"
Yang Zi and Chang Ru had already come out to see Queen Wen so that around Ying Ying there was only Tang Yin's daughter who was still in the room.
Ying Ying wanted to come out for a while to find out what the contents of Emperor Tang's letter to Emperor Wei were so that he could estimate what the purpose of Prince Tang Jin and Princess Tang Yan coming to the Wei Kingdom was.
The tube of the letter was in the hands of Eunuch Cao and surely the eunuch of trust was in the meeting hall. Ying Ying was sure that Li Chang Le's spirit was also there.
Ying Ying used a form-busting magic and a bell band on her wrist to track Li Chang Le's spirit.
***the Queen Wen's Palace***
"Please Miss Yang Zi wait here. Queen Wen wants to meet Miss Chang Ru first!"
Yang Zi nodded her head, while Chang Ru smiled mockingly before following the palace lady into Queen Wen's room.
"Chang Ru salutes Queen Wen!"
"Li Chang Ru's! Kneel down!" queen Wen's orders while looking intently at Chang Ru.
Chang Ru's face turned pale instantly and immediately knelt before Queen Wen. Chang Ru thought hard what mistake he had made and found nothing.
"Queen Wen! Chang Ru apologized for making a mistake? Chang Ru won't repeat it again!"
Queen Wen was the second most powerful person in the Wei Kingdom so Chang Ru took the initiative to apologize first.
"You know what your mistake was?"
"I.I.Iā¦.."
"You are so brave to make Wu Xian the scapegoat of your filthy deeds with other men!" snapped Queen Wen.
"Who? Who complained to Queen Wen? It must be Chang Le Ja*ang!" inner Chang Ru.
Tears flowed profusely on Chang Ru's cheeks. Chang Ru was sobbing in front of Queen Wen.
"That's all slander, Queen Wen! Chang Ru was still holy when the crown prince wanted Chang Ru in the restaurant!"
"Basic ja*ang!"
Plaque!
A slap from Queen Wen landed on Chang Ru's cheek. The slap was so hard that the corner of Chang Ru's lips was bleeding.
"Queen Wen should trust Chang Ru! Chang Ru has only ever had a friendly relationship with the crown prince!"
To the death, Chang Ru would not admit her relationship with the two beggars.
"I don't need your confession! I already know everything! Your personal servant is just a scapegoat of your filthy deeds!"
The result of Eunuch Ma's investigation was that Chang Ru never came out of Li Jin's Residence, but there is a suspicious incident that Chang Ru's personal servant and two dead men were killed and sent to court officials.
In addition to A Ling, Chang Ru's new personal servant went to buy the concoction of pregnancy-preventing medicine secretly.
Queen Wen who was clever, cunning, and experienced in dealing with the concubines of Emperor Wei could guess exactly what had happened.
"Chang Ru is innocent! Queen Wen must believe! Someone must have deliberately slandered Chang Ru so as not to be able to become the crown princess!"
"Listen well to my words, Li Chang Ru! You are like an ant I can step on to die at any time! This time your despicable life is protected because you are the daughter of General Li Jin! If you dare to frame Wu Xian again, don't blame me for being ruthless! Even your mother and sister will die too!"
"Chang Ru promised to obey Queen Wen's orders! Chang Ru will be a good wife and crown princess!"
Chang Ru's body trembled in fear. Chang Ru knew Queen Wen's threat was not mere nonsense. Chang Ru was grateful that the crown princess position had not been taken away from her, which was probably because Queen Wen had no evidence that she had trapped Wei Wu Xian.
"Emperor Wei has agreed to my request. Yang Zi would become Wu Xian's main concubine. You two will marry Wu Xian on the same day. I hope that you and Yang Zi can take good care of Wu Xian. Other than Yang Zi, I've already chosen some official princesses to be Wu Xian's concubine in the near future."
"Yang Zi must have known! He should have been arrogant!" inner Chang Ru.
"Okay, Queen Wen! Chang Ru and Yang Zi will serve the crown prince well!" chang Ru said with a trembling voice.
Queen Wen saw clearly both of Chang Ru's hands clenched tightly, but Queen Wen did not care.
Chang Ru could still be used as a useful chess piece to control General Li Jin in order to be willing to be on Wei Wu Xian's side. However, Queen Wen did not forget Chang Ru's evil intention to frame Wei Wu Xian.
Queen Wen was very familiar with Wei Wu Xian's nature. Although Chang Ru became the crown princess, but that status was only a temporary status because Wei Wu Xian would never touch Chang Ru again.
A crown princess who does not produce children for the crown prince, will certainly be deposed and replaced by another woman.
