A trace of annoyance flashed in the eyes of Lin Wan and Chu Yan. They finally had the opportunity to win over the Marquis of Zhenbei and invite the emperor, but they just watched the cooked duck fly away.

On the other hand, the queen looked like an old god, with a faint smile on her lips.

Lin Wan, you want to win over Zhenbei Hou to strengthen your son's power, but you have not considered your own weight.

Chu Wanxiang felt very funny when he saw everyone's expressions in the hall.

The Beiling Emperor improperly ascended the throne and deliberately promoted his former Queen's aunt to the Empress Dowager and treated her with utmost filial piety to consolidate his status as the orthodox heir. This formed the rule of "Beiling's filial piety comes first".

Chu Wanxiang took a fancy to this, so she specifically mentioned the death of Mrs. Zhenbei Hou.

In this way, the Marquis of Zhenbei had a legitimate reason to refuse, and even the emperor could not say anything more.

"The emperor's concern for my daughter is her blessing. Unfortunately, my daughter is being filial, so this marriage may be the reason..."

The Marquis of Zhenbei took the words and looked at Wang in the hall with a worried expression.

"Since Zhenbei Hou's daughter is filial, let's put this matter aside for now."

Emperor Beiling waved his sleeves, and a trace of displeasure flashed across his brows. Lin Wan noticed the change in his expression, changed his mind, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, my concubine recently followed the Queen Mother to worship Buddha. After a lot of

Research shows that the Marquis of Zhenbei is the general of our country, and his wife is naturally the hero of our country. I think that wearing a spiritual garment and chanting sutras for the Marquis of Zhenbei’s wife can be a way to express my heart.”

As soon as Chu Mingyi heard about it, she tried every means to lure her cousin into the palace, even using the trick of chanting sutras. She was really persistent.

You are right, after all, Xiao Li has a Marquis Anguo who comes from a family of generals, while Xiao Yan is surrounded by civil servants, none of whom can fight.

If there is a head-to-head confrontation in the future, Chu Yan will definitely be at a disadvantage if he does not have the support of the general. This is why Lin Wan is so eager to win her uncle's favor.

After hearing this, Emperor Bei Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, extremely satisfied with Lin Wan's suggestion.

Good idea. In this case, it will also restrain the preparedness.

After all, with their daughter in their hands, Gu Changfeng would definitely be caught by them.

"Wan'er said it very well. Then you and Ling Yi will have a hard time."

Beilinghuang slapped him in the face and agreed, leaving Zhenbeihou no room for revenge.

Because of Beilinghuang's instructions, Zhenbei Hou frowned with worry, which did not dissipate until the end of the banquet.

On the way out of the palace, the concubine specifically asked her personal female officer to bring a jade token so that she could enter and exit the palace freely in front of everyone.

In this way, the ancient spirits must accept this jade token.

And once she picked it up, it meant that she would go to the palace to see Lin Wan every day.

Gu Ling stared blankly at the jade tablet in his hand, and Zhenbei Hou's face became solemn.

It's not that he didn't know what would happen when he went to Beijing this time. When the emperor explicitly asked him to take his family back to the north, he had already expected it, but there was always a trace of luck in his heart, thinking that the emperor might be merciful and attack Ling Yi.

However, luck is just luck after all, and what is supposed to come will come.

Chu Wanxiang saw the expressions of father and daughter, stepped forward and said: "Uncle, cousin."

After leaving this palace gate, there is no need to be too cautious, the address is naturally much closer.

"Wan Xiang." Zhen Beihou looked at his beloved niece with a wry smile.

Coming back today was supposed to be a happy occasion for family reunion, but I didn't expect the emperor's behavior to be really disturbing.

"Uncle, are you worried about the concubine's invitation?"

"Hey." Zhenbei Hou sighed: "The imperial concubine has deep meaning."

"The child named Lingyi grew up with me on the border. If she wanted to play tricks on Ling Yi, how could this child be her opponent... "

It would be great if the madam was still there. Even if Ling Ying entered the palace, she would still protect her, but now he could only rely on Ling Ying alone, and Zhen Beihou was very worried.

"Don't worry, uncle, Wanxiang will accompany my cousin into the palace."

She is not worried about Gu Lingyi entering the palace alone. In this deep palace, people's hearts are unpredictable.

Especially those girls in high positions, they did not try their best today and fight hard to keep their status.

Although they look slender and weak on the outside, they are all wolves that eat people without spitting out bones.

If Gu Lingyi, the little white rabbit, was really sent there, wouldn't he be eaten to pieces?

Hearing that Chu Wanxiang would stay with him, Zhenbei Hou's anxiety eased a little.

After all, Wan Xiang has been in Yujing for a year, so she should understand all the rules and regulations, and her performance in helping secretly in the palace just now is remarkable. She is a child who knows how to measure. With the spiritual clothes she wears, Zhenbei

Hou thinks it shouldn't be a problem.

"Wan Xiang." Jun Li's voice suddenly came from behind.

Chu Wanxiang frowned slightly.

The Marquis of Zhenbei and Gu Lingyi also turned to look at him. Calling a woman by her boudoir name in public would damage her reputation. What was the purpose of Prince Xichen doing this?

At the gate of the palace, Chu Mohan and Xiaoyun happened to be passing by. Seeing this scene, they stopped in tacit agreement and watched quietly.

"Prince Xichen Minghuang said it is inappropriate to address you and me like this. Please pay attention to etiquette."

This is the second time Chu Wanxiang warned Junli.

Although there was no trace of worry on his face, there was a hint of severity in his words.

Jun Li's face changed slightly when she heard this. What on earth is going on with this woman?

Since the last winter banquet fell into the water, it's like she has changed into a different person. Different from her previous obedience, now she is contradicting herself one after another.

Will you use different ways to attract my attention like before?

If this is the case, Jun Li has to admit that this time, she succeeded.

"Wan Xiang, you are still angry with me."

Junli concealed her dissatisfaction and looked at her with affectionate eyes. From the perspective of others, it was a pair of lovers who were having conflicts, and the man was desperately trying to make the woman happy.

Angry, Chu Wanxiang sneered in his heart. Junli thought she wanted to attract his attention by refusing or welcoming him.

"Your Highness is joking. Your Highness has nothing to do with me, so why do you say this out of anger? Minghuang only thinks about His Highness and her own reputation."

You are doing this in front of your uncle, Junli, don't you just want to create an illusion of love between you and me for your uncle, so that your uncle can be used by you?

I won't let you get what you want. One sentence makes no difference at all. It cleanly cuts off Junli's fantasy and clearly hints to Zhenbei Hou that this person is not worthy of trust.
