During the days when Yan Li was recovering from his injuries, everything was calm in Fengyang Palace, but there were already rough waves outside.

The emperor named her the Princess of Nanyang, a legitimate princess. This incident made several princesses in the royal family resentful. The queen's only legitimate daughter, Mu Xue, was angry that a foreign orphan could be equal to her. The other concubine princesses were even more angry that a foreigner.

The orphan girl is actually above them, it is simply unbearable!

Everyone is waiting for the opportunity to settle accounts with Yan Li.

Before the emperor's imperial edict for the marriage between the Ninth Prince and Yan Li was issued, rumors were already flying all over the sky. Soon the civil and military officials in the court heard some rumors, and the noble ladies of the imperial family spread the rumors.

Uproarious.

The dependent cousin of Mrs. Jiang’s family actually wants to marry the Ninth Prince? She doesn’t even look in the mirror to see who she is.

How could an orphan girl without a father or mother be worthy of the Ninth Prince, who was as bright as a flower on a high mountain?

She is not even worthy of washing the feet of the Ninth Prince!

The ladies of the aristocratic family harbored grudges and secretly waited to settle accounts with Yan Li.

However, they then thought about it. With the temper of the Ninth Prince, even if the emperor offered marriage, Yan Li would not agree to it. Yan Li could just have her spring and autumn dream. If the prince broke off the engagement and then the Ninth Prince rejected her, no one wanted her.

How can an orphan girl get married in the future?

The ladies expected well, the Ninth Prince indeed refused to marry.

The imperial edict of marriage was delivered to the Ninth Prince's Mansion personally by Xiao Changhai, the chief steward next to the emperor. There was no fanfare, nor did he shout "The imperial edict has arrived" from a distance. The imperial chief steward kept a very low profile and followed the butler all the way to the study.

After bowing respectfully, he explained the emperor's intention.

The Ninth Prince was sitting in the study dealing with official documents, his whole body was filled with a frightening sense of oppression, his face was dignified and handsome, his features were picturesque but as indifferent as snow.

When he heard the imperial edict of marriage, a layer of frost gradually covered his noble and ordinary face, and his voice was bone-chilling: "Who are you conferring marriage to?"

Xiao Changhai said tremblingly: "Give...the marriage you gave to the Ninth Prince..."

"Given to whom?"

"Yan...Miss Yan..."

Mu Cang tapped the table with his slender fingers, and his voice was as cold as ice: "The girl the prince doesn't want, give it to me?"

"No, it's not..." Xiao Changhai plopped down and knelt down, "This slave is also acting according to the order. I beg the Ninth Prince not to embarrass this slave."

"roll."

The majestic chief steward rolled away in despair, hiding the imperial edict in his arms without even having time to take it out. The palace was well-informed, and as soon as Xiao Changhai stepped into the palace gate, someone saw the clues from his expression.

"The proposed marriage probably didn't work out. Manager Xiao's face looks like an eggplant beaten by frost."

"Hmph, I just said how could Uncle Nine Emperors agree?"

The princesses who were waiting for the news in the palace all gloated: "You deserve it."

"Does she really think that Uncle Nine Emperors is someone she can imagine?"

"She is a humble orphan girl. Her father made her a princess out of sympathy for her. She actually dares to overestimate her own abilities and try to marry Uncle Jiu Wang without looking in the mirror to see if she is worthy!"

Yan Li, who had been quietly recuperating in Fengyang for several days and drank bitter medicine for several days, didn't know that she had become a public enemy, let alone that she had offended all the princesses in the palace and the ladies of the aristocratic families outside the palace.

.

She only suffered external injuries, no muscles or bones. After a few days of recuperation, her body has improved greatly. In addition to eating and drinking medicine every day, she also gets up and moves her hands and feet. Although she can barely use some strength at the moment, given the

My body is not strong, and it will obviously take some time to be as flexible as before.

The medical ladies and palace maids in Fengyang Palace were all obedient. They did whatever Yan Li asked them to do. While Yan Li was exercising in Fengyang Palace, they stood quietly aside and did not dare to disturb him.

Fengyang Palace is quiet most of the time, because Yan Li likes to be alone and quietly.

But obviously, some people don't want what she wants.

"Princess Nanyang." A nun from Fengyi Palace walked in, knelt down to Yan Li, and her etiquette was correct. "Today, the Queen held a banquet in Fengyi Palace and invited several princesses. The Queen said that you are the emperor.

The newly crowned princess should go meet the other princesses after she recovers."

Yan Li stood in front of the window, his eyes slightly cold when he heard this: "Tell the Queen that I will come over later."

Grandma nodded, excused herself and left.

"Your Highness the Princess." Qinglian frowned, "The Third Princess and the Seventh Princess both have bad tempers. The Queen invites you to Fengyi Palace, I'm afraid..."

"It doesn't matter." Yan Li's voice was indifferent, "The soldiers will come to block it, and the water will come and the earth will cover it."

She was born noble. She was the apple of the king's eye when she was born. She grew up smoothly at the age of twenty. She was able to bring peace to the world with her pen and her military skills were able to make decisions immediately. She had never been afraid of anyone in her life.

Who among those who have seen the dazzling light of the Empress of the Southern Kingdom would not surrender to her awe-inspiring majesty? She would not look down upon a mere Queen of the Mu Kingdom.

Turning around to change her clothes, Yan Li sat in front of the dressing table and let Qing Lian apply a layer of light makeup on her slightly pale face. This face of only fourteen years old became more and more beautiful and refined, as delicate as a bud.

Flower bones.

Yan Li got up and took Qinglian and Baidie to Fengyi Palace.

There were two long sandalwood tables placed in the courtyard of Fengyi Palace. As soon as he entered the palace gate, Yan Li saw Mu Xiuhan and Jiang Jingyue kneeling in front of the long table copying scriptures. Her steps paused slightly and her eyes glowed with a cold luster.

"Princess Nanyang has arrived!"

The announcement seemed to wake up a sleeping bird, and the entire Fengyi Palace suddenly felt a thrill of excitement - Yan Li clearly heard the commotion coming from the palace.

She walked through the palace garden calmly, and met Mu Xiuhan's eyes, which turned to look at her. They were sinister, cold, and full of biting disgust and hostility.

Compared to his unconcealed look of disgust, Yan Li saw his pale face at a glance. His face was full of haggard and fatigue. There was a layer of black under his eyes and his beard was unkempt. How could he still have half of his former grace?

It was so embarrassing.

Yan Li turned to look at Jiang Jingyue who was kneeling beside her. The new crown princess was also tortured to a miserable state, her face was pale, her whole body was as listless as if she had gone insane, even her lips were dry and peeling, and she was no longer as bright and charming as before.

If you look carefully, it is not difficult to miss that their hands holding the pen are trembling.

Yan Li raised his eyebrows: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also looked like a dragon and a phoenix when he was kneeling here and copying scriptures. He has outstanding bearing. He is a perfect match for the dignified and elegant Crown Princess. No one can match her."

Mu Xiuhan's expression darkened, anger and shock flashed across his eyes. He obviously didn't expect that Yan Li would dare to be so presumptuous in front of him. He had always looked timid and timid before, but he seemed to have completely changed over the past few days.

Big change.

However, he quickly came to the conclusion that her father must have made her a princess, which gave her the confidence to be so arrogant and domineering, and she dared to talk to him like this.

It's really a small man's success.

Fortunately, he did not marry her. If he did marry such a vulgar and immoral woman, it would be the greatest insult to him.

"Cousin." Jiang Jingyue hid the cold hatred in her eyes and stood up from the ground with difficulty. The severe pain in her knees made her face pale and pitiful, "I didn't mean to steal your position as Crown Princess. It's actually your honor.
