When Jiang Jingyue, who was kneeling outside, heard this, her body shook imperceptibly, and the color on her face faded little by little. She couldn't believe what she heard.

She and the prince had just gotten married, and they didn't even have a formal wedding. The emperor... he asked her to kneel down and copy the "Tao Te Ching" with the prince for four hours every day?

why is that?

Why?

Why does the emperor care so much for Yan Li? Is Yan Li really more important than the prince?

It's simply ridiculous, so ridiculous!

"Ye Qi!"

Outside the palace gate, a young man in the uniform of a royal guard came in, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty!"

"Send some people from outside Fengyang Palace to work in three shifts to guard Fengyang Palace closely. No one else is allowed to step into this place except the palace and the medical lady arranged by me!"

"I humble my duty and obey my decree!"

Emperor Zhaocheng warned: "If what happened today happens again, I will kill you!"

"yes!"

Emperor Zhaocheng turned his head and looked at Yan Li lying on the bed. A look of distress flashed through his eyes. How could such a frail and thin body withstand the torture of the palace?

The harem is a place for eating people.

He couldn't imagine how Yan Li would be treated in the future if he couldn't take good care of her.

Emperor Zhaocheng closed his eyes and thought for a while: "Xiao Changhai, today I will draft a decree to make Yan Li Princess Fengyang, increase her title by one rank, and receive treatment equal to that of a legitimate princess."

"Your Majesty!" The Queen was shocked and looked up at him angrily, "This is against the rules! Why does Yan Li enjoy such great honor? Just because she is Jiang Yi's daughter? Jiang Yi is already dead, Your Majesty

,Jiang Yi is dead——"

Snapped!

Emperor Zhaocheng raised his hand and slapped him: "Shut up!"

The queen fell hard to the ground, the phoenix hairpin was thrown away, and her hair was scattered all over the floor. She lay on the ground blankly, almost unable to believe what was happening in front of her.

Yan Li made the emperor crazy, so crazy that he attacked her as the queen, so crazy that he even punished his own son, so crazy that after so many years, he still pretended to be Jiang Yi!

It's not a pity for that bitch Jiang Yi to die, so why do you want to leave this little bitch Yan Li to harm them?

Emperor Zhaocheng closed his eyes and restrained his out-of-control emotions: "Get out."

The queen was startled, and an uncontrollable sadness and hatred arose in her heart. If she had just disliked Yan Li before this, when she saw Yan Li, she thought of Jiang Yi many years ago, and she did not want Yan Li to marry her.

To the prince, now, she can't wait to get rid of Yan Li right away.

This little bitch must die!

She stood up stiffly, straightened her hair, trying to maintain the queen's pride, and then turned around and walked out of Fengyang Palace without looking back.

The nuns and palace attendants who had followed her all knelt outside the palace door, each one of them terrified and silent. The medical ladies in the palace all knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

There was deathly silence inside and outside the palace.

It wasn't until the queen left Fengyang Palace with her people that Jiang Jingyue, who was kneeling in the outer hall, finally recovered from her dream. The blood on her beautiful face had faded and she was as pale as paper.

The emperor beat the queen?

For the sake of an orphaned girl who has been dependent on others for so many years, the emperor actually beat up the queen in the palace?

"Yan Li." In the inner palace, the emperor's anger softened somewhat, and he said with a somewhat comforting tone, "You don't need to care about what the queen says, and you don't need to pay attention to the prince's affairs. Your engagement has been canceled. From now on, his affairs are none of your business.

It doesn’t matter anymore.”

"I don't care." Yan Li lowered his eyes and said in a calm tone, "Since the emperor has made me a princess, can I decide on the title myself? I don't want the title Fengyang."

Emperor Zhaocheng was curious: "Then what title do you want?"

"Nanyang." Yan Li said calmly, "Princess Nanyang."

Emperor Zhaocheng didn't think much and turned around and ordered Xiao Changhai: "Change the title and call it Princess Nanyang, do you hear me?"

Xiao Changhai leaned over and responded: "I have taken note of it."

"In addition to the prince, I have six sons, all of whom have been crowned princes." The emperor looked at Yan Li and gently asked for her opinion, "Li girl, do you want to marry anyone?"

Marry a prince?

Yan Li thought that the other princes were secretly vying for the throne, and that Mu Xiuhan's throne might not last long, so she didn't want to wade into troubled waters at all.

Besides, she didn't like those princes either.

After a moment of silence, Yan Li said calmly: "I want to marry the Ninth Prince."

Emperor Zhaocheng was stunned: "Ninth Prince?"

"Um."

"Why?"

The Ninth Prince Mu Cang is the God of War of the Mu Kingdom. He is the ninth younger brother of the current emperor. His age is quite different from that of Emperor Zhaocheng. He is only twenty-four years old this year.

Although Mu Cang was young, he went to the battlefield to gain experience at the age of fourteen. He led the army alone at the age of sixteen, and quelled the civil strife in Mu at the age of eighteen. In the twelfth month of the same year, he also led the troops to the border and guarded the border for three years, protecting the border city as impregnable. The ambitious cavalry of the Jin State were blocked outside, and they were never able to enter.

Being immersed in the battlefield all the time, he never had the chance to get married. Two years ago, Emperor Zhaocheng issued seven imperial edicts to recall him back, hoping to settle his marriage. Unfortunately, the Ninth Prince was a cold man and treated the noble ladies of the imperial capital. He never looked down upon her, and was as dignified as a nine-day crane.
