Reborn to be without his father but with his son, the prince shouted, "I'm not dead!"

Chapter 30: Harem Turbulence

After a while, Ji Anyu knelt down and kowtowed.

"I know I was wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"I shouldn't criticize the emperor."

The hall fell into silence, and cold sweat broke out on Ji Anyu's forehead.

"Ha ha……"

Ji Anyu's head was almost touching the ground. She closed her eyes in fear, wondering why the emperor suddenly laughed.

"You are right. There is a saying among the people that husband and wife are one. Concubine Shu is my woman. You must kneel to the heaven, the earth, and me, but not to anyone else."

Ji Anyu curled her lips at an inappropriate time.

The Emperor admitted that he and Concubine Shu were one and the same. I wonder what the women in the palace felt when they heard this. They probably even wanted to tear Concubine Shu apart.

"Ji Anyu, are you really going to forgive Wei Luoyan? I will exempt Wei Luoyan from the punishment of not being able to take the imperial examinations for two years. Do you agree?"

"Your Highness agrees. This is just a minor incident. I'm sorry to have made you laugh."

Shen Weixiao looked at the dark head below and squinted his eyes to signal Eunuch Zhang to prepare the imperial edict.

"Ji Anyu, Shen Jing really didn't make a mistake about you. You are a very tolerant person, brave and resourceful. You are worthy of being the girl who saved Shen Jing twice."

Shen Weixiao took the pen and dipped it in ink, saying as he wrote.

"No matter what, you have indeed been wronged. I will give you some more rewards. Eunuch Zhang will take people to the Duke's Mansion. You can get up and leave the palace and go home."

"Thank you Lord for your grace."

Ji Anyu thanked her, but after she stood up, she still didn't dare to look up and walked out with her head down.

After walking out of the hall, she suddenly felt like she was reborn. The air outside was better, so she took a deep breath.

Wei Luoyan was pardoned, and she gained a good reputation and rewards, so it was not a loss. There was still a long time to live, and she had to settle the accounts slowly.

The gentle light shines on Ji Anyu, and the wind blows up Ji Anyu's skirt, making the embroidery on the skirt come alive.

"Who is that?"

"Your Highness, she is my sister Ji Anyu." Ji Yunchu looked unhappy.

She finally persuaded the prince to accompany her to relax, but unexpectedly she met Ji Anyu.

Ji Yunchu's eyes moved back and forth between Ji Anyu and Shen Yuxian.

She bit her lower lip and tugged at the handkerchief fiercely with her fingers.

"Your Highness, let's go to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers."

Shen Yuxian stared at the beautiful figure in the distance.

It turns out that she is Ji Anyu, who looks well-behaved. Why did Luo Yan go to great lengths to kill her? It can't be because of a hairpin.

Chen Yuxian couldn't figure it out. If he could find out the reason, he would ask his mother to hold a banquet to make the Duke's Mansion and the Nanhou Mansion reconcile as before.

"Your Highness, let's go." Ji Yunchu suppressed her jealousy and forced a smile.

"I remember that you came here with Miss Ji Er. Since Miss Ji Er is leaving the palace, you should follow her."

Ji Yunchu said dejectedly.

"But I want to chat with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I haven't seen you for a long time and I don't want to go home yet."

The beauty was shy and timid, and her big watery eyes would occasionally look up and peek. When she was discovered, she would quickly blush and lower her head.

Shen Yuxian's eyes were deep.

The girl in front of him is his future princess consort, and he doesn't mind making time to accompany her.

"I have sent someone to ask Miss Ji Er to wait for you to leave the palace. The Imperial Garden just happened to have three pots of tribute flowers brought in."

"Ah."

The cool breeze blew away the shyness and brought a burst of excitement.

News spread quickly in the palace and soon reached the Queen's palace.

Nanny Mei looked at the Queen fighting crickets with a look of disappointment.

"Empress, the Emperor just said that he and Concubine Shu are one and the same. Concubine Shu is clearly a concubine! How can she be considered a husband and wife with the Emperor?"

Kong Wanhan paused for a moment, and then focused on the cricket fight. "Queen, please stop playing. The emperor's words will cause chaos in the harem!"

Aunt Mei was angry that she didn't fight back and said softly.

"If your majesty cares more about the emperor, then there will be no need for Concubine Shu. I have asked someone to cook lotus seed soup. You can bring it to the emperor later. The emperor will surely be very pleased and will let you stay here tonight."

"No, even if I send it to him, he won't drink it. Why waste my energy?"

Madam Mei had no choice but to persuade him, "The Emperor doesn't like you fighting crickets, but as long as you are willing to bow your head, the Emperor will still care about you."

"Whether the emperor likes it or not is none of my business. As long as I like it, that's fine." Kong Wanhan said nonchalantly.

He caught a glimpse of the tea set on the table and curled up the corners of his mouth silently.

"Last time, the imperial concubine asked the emperor for the red jade tea set, but I refused. Today, I am in a good mood, so I will give it to her as a reward."

Madam Mei hesitated, "But this is specially given to you by the Emperor."

"It's okay. We are sisters. What's mine is hers, isn't it? She might be in a bad mood right now. Give it to her to make her happy."

The cheerful tone was mixed with a bit of gloating.

The corners of Aunt Mei's mouth twitched slightly.

This will add fuel to the fire for the imperial concubine.

At this time, the imperial concubine was furious. When she saw the red jade tea set sent from the queen's palace, she angrily grabbed the tea set and threw it to the ground.

The tea set was smashed to pieces amidst the curses and crackling sounds.

The palace maids and eunuchs all knelt down in fear, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

"Bitch! Vixen! One day, I will trample them all to the ground!"

Wei Yangxi gnashed her teeth, "If it weren't for Ji Anyu, how could the emperor say such words as husband and wife are one, causing me to be laughed at by Concubine Shu, and even the queen wants to step on me."

"If I had known this would happen, I would have strangled her to death in her cradle!"

If Wei Songlin hadn't said that Ji Anyu was useful, she would have killed Ji Anyu right now.

"That damn girl is even more infuriating than that idiot Ji Yunchu. Once this matter is resolved, I will chop Ji Anyu into pieces."

At this moment, Ji Anyu was standing at the palace gate. When she heard the eunuch from the East Palace asking her to wait for Ji Yunchu, her brows slightly furrowed.

"Miss Ji Er hasn't left yet. I am about to go to the Duke's Mansion to announce the emperor's decree. The rewards the emperor has given you are all behind me. They are more than the last time."

Eunuch Zhang's sharp eyes smiled like crescent moons.

"Thank you for your hard work, eunuch." Ji Anyu took off the jade ring and put it into eunuch Zhang's hand, "It's just a small token of my respect."

"Okay, okay." Eunuch Zhang flicked his whisk happily.

"Miss Ji Er is waiting for someone?"

"Well, my sister is still in the palace."

"The person you are waiting for is enjoying himself in the Imperial Garden. I advise you not to wait any longer. Besides, you still need to listen to the emperor's orders, and you can't have the emperor's orders announced at the palace gate."

Ji Anyu looked at the carriage with confusion.

"If I leave, my sister won't have a carriage to go home."

She was not willing to wait for Ji Yunchu, but the prince asked her to wait, and there was only one carriage.

Eunuch Zhang smiled faintly and said, "Second Miss Ji, the carriage is here to pick you up."

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer behind me.

Ji Anyu looked back.

The plain and low-key carriage stopped ten steps away from her.

The car window opened slightly, revealing her familiar enchanting face.

Ji Anyu stared in surprise, not expecting him to come.

"I'll go ahead and wait for you at the Duke's Mansion." Eunuch Zhang joked.

Ji Anyu walked to the side of the carriage, thinking about how to ask Shen Jing to send her back to the Duke's Mansion.

"What are you standing for? Do you like standing?" A hint of warmth appeared in the cold tone.
