“I, I can’t tell you the exact reason…” Chu Jing said, scratching his head. He seemed to have a lot of words to say but did not know how to express them. In the end, he could only say, “There are many noble ladies in the capital, and all of them are beautiful and talented. However, I realized that those who had a relationship with her would inexplicably gain a bad reputation in the end…” “Alright. Thank you for your reminder.” Yu Yunxi nodded.

“No need to thank me. When you see my mother, just remember to praise me in front of her. She always scolds me. However, she was very close to your mother back then so she’ll definitely listen to you,” Chu Jing said with a foolish smile.

Yu Yunxi finally realized why the silly young man had been following her. As it turned out, it was because of Princess Consort Hao.

At this time, Chu Jing muttered gloomily, “The banquet is about to begin, and the Emperor is about to arrive. Why aren’t my father and mother here yet?”

At this moment, a eunuch announced from the entrance, “The Emperor, the

Empress Dowager, the Empress, and Consort Mu have arrived.”This content belongs to novelhulk.com, if the content is missing please go to novelhulk.com website to read the full content

‘Empress Dowager? That’s right. How could I forget about the Empress Dowager of Xichu?’

Yu Yunxi’s expression changed slightly.

After Empress Emerita Xiao passed away, the Emperor Emeritus, under the pressure of the ministers, conferred the title of Empress to the then Noble Consort Fang. Therefore, when the Emperor Emeritus abdicated back then, she became the Empress Dowager. She was also the biological mother of the current Emperor, Chu Zai.

Yu Yunxi was lost in her thoughts, thinking about the complicated imperial family of Xichu, so she did not notice that the ministers’ expressions were a little strange.

“Didn’t they say that the Emperor Emeritus will attend the banquet today?”

“Hush! The Emperor Emeritus has been living in seclusion for so many years. He hasn’t come out for at least twenty years. I don’t think he’ll return to the palace for such a small matter.”

“Today is the day the Eldest Princess will be officially introduced to the world. How is it a small matter?”

“Princess Changning is still a sinner in Xichu. It has been so many years, but has the Emperor Emeritus cleared her of her sins? No, right? This means that it’s true that she poisoned the Emperor Emeritus back then. It’s good enough that the Emperor Emeritus doesn’t hold the mother and daughter accountable.

Do you think he’ll still value them?”

“That’s right. If he really valued the Eldest Princess, he wouldn’t have waited three months before holding a banquet for her after she returned to the capital. At the end of the day, the Emperor Emeritus still hates Princess Changning.”

“I agree. The only reason the Emperor Emeritus has yet to strip her of the title Eldest Princess is because he had already given an imperial decree back then. It’s not easy for him to break his own decree. In any case, it’s not a problem for Xichu to raise an Eldest Princess with an empty title, no power, and no influence.

Madam Shang turned to look at Yu Yunxi as well. When she saw Yu Yunxi’s eyes that greatly resembled those of Chu Changning, her heart sank. She was in a daze at this moment. It was as though Chu Changning was standing in front of her at this moment. She remembered how arrogant Chu Changning was as she told them to stay away from the King of Zhenbei and not to drag the King of Zhenbei down. She was so shocked that she broke out into cold sweat.

‘No, no, Chu Changning is dead. The Eldest Master won’t ever return to the capital! The King of Zhenbei’s Residence belongs to us! I won’t be afraid of this little b*tch!’

After calming down, Madam Shang said reassuringly, “Don’t worry. She doesn’t even have the support of the Emperor Emeritus. What she has is only the empty title of Eldest Princess.”

Yu Xiaoxiao calmed down as well after listening to these words.

Meanwhile, the Empress Dowager waved at Yu Yunxi and said, “Changning’s daughter is already so grown up. Your name is Yunxi, right? Come, let me have a good look at you.”

Yu Yunxi lowered her gaze and slowly walked to the center of the hall before walking up.

The EmDress Dowager held Yu Yunxi’s hand and smiled kindlv. “You’re reallv similar to Changning. You’re just as beautiful as her…”

“Yes, when I look at her, I feel as though I’m looking at Changning from back then. Alas, back then, Changning…” Empress Qin said, trailing off. Her tone when she mentioned Chu Changning was slightly strange.

Yu Yunxi slowly looked up and said with a faint smile, “Seeing how nostalgic the Empress Dowager and the Empress are, I’m sure Mother is also thinking about both of you…

The Empress Dowager and the Empress’ expressions were a little unsightly when they heard this. After all, who wanted a dead person to think about them? How unlucky!

After a moment, the Empress Dowager suddenly asked worriedly, “Why are your hands so cold even though I’ve been holding them? Did you catch a cold?”

The Empress Dowager had no intention to listen to Yu Yunxi’s reply at all. Instead, she directly turned to Meng Xia and berated loudly, “The weather is so cold today? Don’t you know how to bring a jacket for the Eldest Princess?”

Meng Xia immediately kneeled down and apologized.

“I’m sorry.”

At this time, Empress Qin said, “Empress Dowager, don’t be angry. The wind is blowing where Yunxi is sitting. Let’s just change her seat. There’s still a seat behind the Eleventh Princess. Why don’t we let Yunxi sit there?”

Everyone fell silent again after Empress Qin spoke.

The Empress Dowager nodded in agreement.

The Eleventh Princess was not even eight years old. She was sitting in her seat at this moment, eating pastries. Behind her were the seats for the female members of the ministers’ families.

‘Letting the Eldest Princess sit in one of those seats… Is the Empress doing this intentionally?’
