Seeing Shen Ninghua smiling, Bai Yu went up to him and said, "You look like you're in a good mood Miss, is there anything to be happy about?"

"Nothing, I was just having a beautiful dream last night."

Seeing how Shen Ninghua was rubbing her stomach, Bai Yu knew that her dream must have something to do with the little mistress. "Young Mistress has dreamt of Young Mistress, and coincidentally, the Chen Courtyard has just arrived. They're waiting outside to check on Young Mistress's pulse."

"Quick, invite the Chen Courtyard's Principal in."

After bowing, Chen Jun and Shen Ninghua carefully checked her pulse. After a long while, a trace of a smile appeared on their faces. "Congratulations to the Crown Princess. If my diagnosis is correct, this baby must be a little gongzi."

In the past, the young miss was a princess, so the Prince Consort couldn't take in concubines as he pleased, but now, it was different. The young miss had become a princess, and the Duke of the County could take on two concubines and many concubines as he wished.

A few days ago, Baili Junyi had been complaining to her about the way these girls were staring at him, as if they were always on guard against thieves. After thinking for a long time, Shen Ninghua was finally able to figure out some clues.

"Thank you, Principal Chen."

"The Crown Princess is very polite. Your health is pretty good. In these few months, you can walk around a lot, so that you can have a peaceful time at home."

Shen Ninghua nodded. "A few days ago, I went to the palace to meet mufei. Mufei even mentioned the Chen Courtyard and asked Ning Hua to thank you in her place." She hadn't thought that the person who had helped Yun Fei give birth and given birth to Chu Junyi was actually the imperial physician at that time, Chen Cheng.

Chen Yuan was in the middle of tidying up the medicine boxes. He didn't have much expression on his usually serious face, but his eyes were extremely unsteady. "This one has never met Imperial Consort He Xian before. What is Imperial Consort Wang Fei talking about? This one doesn't understand. I've accepted a set of gratitude for nothing. Farewell."

Seeing him in such a state, Shen Ninghua did not force him. "Bi Zhu, help me escort Principal Chen."

Waiting for Chen Liu to leave, Bai Yu stepped forward to help Shen Ninghua walk. "Miss, the Imperial Concubine owes the Chen Courtyard a great debt of gratitude. Why don't you admit it now?"

Shen Ninghua smiled and shook her head. "I didn't deny it. Didn't Chen Yuan just say that he would accept this gratitude?"

"Ah?" But didn't the Chen Courtyard deny its relationship with the imperial concubine? "

"The one related to the Chen Courtyard was Yun Fei, who died in the palace. He and Imperial Concubine Xian are indeed not related at all."

Bai Yu came to a realization. "This servant doesn't want to continue. Miss, tomorrow is the day Miss Yang is going to be married. Before that, Miss Yang even sent a personal letter to me."

"Yang Yingxue... I should have gone to see my cousin after she got married, but my current situation is special, so I won't personally walk around. In a bit, pick out two sets of top quality gems and some cloth that royal father has bestowed upon me, and send them over to my cousin.

"Yes."

Hong Ling walked in quickly and said, "Miss, there's movement at the Zhao Family."

"Zhao Family?"

"Yes. After returning from the county prince's banquet, the master of the Zhao family received a letter sent from the palace. He could not find out the details, but the head of the Zhao family was extremely happy, and his words were filled with the carefree joy of avenging a great enmity. He even said something about 'killing three birds with one stone'."

Shen Ninghua pinched the jade bracelet on his wrist, a cold light flashing across his eyes. "Three birds with one stone? Mufei, Jun Yi, and I. "It looks like the empress has thought of another way to deal with us. She chose to make a move at the Second Prince's wedding banquet. I'm afraid she's still thinking of getting another Prince De."

"Miss, what should we do? Should we arrange something in advance?"

Shen Ninghua furrowed her brows. "I seem to recall that during this wedding, Grandmaster Chen was invited to participate, right?"

"Yes, the Emperor has great trust in Grandmaster Wu Chen. On the day when the Duke of the Kingdom bestowed the betrothal gift, the Emperor specifically ordered Grandmaster Wu Chen to recite scriptures."

Shen Ninghua laughed mockingly, "Wu Chen is a monk, but he isn't good at chanting. If he can use Wu Chen, what is the empress planning to do? "Hong Ling, send the cyan sparrow to follow me tomorrow, send someone to watch over the princess' mansion and the prince's mansion. If anyone dares to barge in, kill that person on the spot. If anything happens, Baili Junyi and I will handle it.

"Yes, Miss. Please be at ease. This servant will definitely defend two manors so that not even a mosquito can fly in."

The next day, by the time Hundred Miles of Fate and Shen Ninghua arrived at the Prince De's estate, most of the guests had already left. Shen Ninghua had been led to the courtyard where the women were.

He glanced at Shen Ninghua and said, "Ninghua, you've come. Just a moment ago, you were saying that Treasure Pavilion's newly added powder, and it's especially pretty. Originally, I wanted to buy some for you, but when I saw you, I remembered that your body can't be smeared with makeup. However, even if you don't put on your powder, it's still no different from a clear water Hibiscus [1]."

As she spoke, she glanced at the smiling Bu Tingghu beside her. Princess Wen He's earlier words were full of contempt towards Shen Ninghua. Did she really think that she could surpass her sister just by a mere 20%?

Listening to her tone, Shen Ninghua guessed what she was trying to say and lightly smiled. "You praising me like this makes me feel ashamed. Beautiful people are born with an unshakeable temperament. The things that they are born with cannot be changed. The knowledge that these youngsters have to do is great." She was also happy to be of help to Baili Yu when he defended her.

This innate beauty came from the heavens, so there was no room for change. With such a beautiful appearance, who knows what kind of person he would be training himself to be. How could such a person be worthy of showing off?

The smile on Bu Tinghe's face froze and he repeatedly told himself to endure. Only then did he ease the stiffness on his face, "Greetings, Crown Princess."

"Princess Wen He is being too courteous."

The few of them sat at a table to the side. The surrounding people did not dare to go up and join in on the fun. They all chose a far away seat and sat down.

Baili Ang was the younger sister of Baili JinChuan. At this time, he had to help look after the bridal chamber and wait for Yang Yingxue's arrival. Therefore, he left after greeting Shen Ninghua.

Bu Tinghe was sitting next to Shen Ninghua. His gaze swept across Shen Ninghua's stomach, and a deep malice flashed in his eyes. He used the tea cup to cover his mouth as he spoke softly to Shen Ninghua, "Shen Ninghua, are you feeling proud now?"

Shen Ninghua turned her head slightly and looked at him coldly. "I'm proud that my identity has been restored after we've acknowledged each other."

"Hoho, that's right. You should be proud of yourself, but you won't be able to be proud of your time. Even if it's something that I cannot obtain, I will not give it to anyone."

"Many people have told me this before, but now that I've become the princess of a country, who knows where those who have boasted before have gone off to."

Bu Tinghe sneered, "Let's wait and see." I came here for my cousin. Not only did I not get him, I even lost my body.

The ceremonial officer's loud voice rang out, "The secondary wife is here!"

Because Baili JinChuan didn't have a main wife, this time's marriage to Yang Yingxue was a bit grand.

After the guests had taken their seats, Baili Jin used a red silk cloth to lead Yang Yingxue inside.

Baili JinChuan stood in the middle of the wedding hall, sweeping his cold eyes over all the guests. When he glanced over Shen Ninghua, he paused slightly, as he recalled that night when she leaned on the railing, gazing into the distance by herself.

The officer's voice rang in his ears. Baili JinChuan withdrew his gaze and brought Yang Yingxue to the hall.

Although the wedding ceremony was grand, she was still a secondary concubine after all. The etiquette was not that complicated. After she had paid her respects to heaven and earth, it could be considered as a form of courtesy.

"The Emperor has arrived."

"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

Everyone hurriedly got up to pay their respects, but they were not too surprised. After all, the second prince had just achieved great feats on the battlefield and was bestowed the title of 'Prince De'.

"Everyone, please rise."

If a prince were to marry, he would not be accompanying the empress, but rather a imperial concubine.

Baili JinChuan bowed, "It's my honor to have Consort Xian drink a cup of wine. How could I dare to use a word."

After experiencing many ups and downs, Baili JinChuan was now standing straight where he was, like a blade that had been tempered by fire and ice. The scar left on his face not only didn't affect his bearing, but also made him seem even more noble, cold and unapproachable. For such an ice-cold person to be able to say such intimate words with a smile on his face, it made one feel satisfied from the bottom of their heart.

The smile on Bu Yun's lips deepened as he turned to look at Baili Qingyuan, "Your majesty, Empress Sis is not feeling well and is unable to come. It seems that chenqie has been taken advantage of." Before coming here, she had sent people to get the empress, but the empress was sick and couldn't even get up. There was no helping it.

At the mention of the Queen, Baili Qingfeng's expression turned to one of annoyance, "Alright, let's start the banquet."

Before Baili Qingfeng could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a loud rumble from outside. The entire palace hall started to shake. The wine cup on the table was knocked over and the wine spilled all over the table.

"What's going on?"

"Protect the emperor!" Someone subconsciously cried out to protect Baili Qingyuan.

Baili JinChuan quickly walked to the door. Just as he steadied himself, he heard a loud explosion accompanied by a purple electric light.

The lightning bolt descended from the sky and struck the ground, connecting directly with the ground.

"Oh god, this is divine retribution!"

"Could it be that the heavens are furious?"

The great hall was in a state of panic. Suddenly, a clear buddhist chant could be heard: "Amitabha."

"Grandmaster Wu Chen is here!"

Dressed in a monastic robe, Wu Chen walked in with an exceptionally indifferent demeanor. There wasn't the slightest trace of panic on his face. "This humble monk greets the Emperor."

Baili Qingfeng was extremely calm, but his brows were furrowed extremely tightly. "Master, do you know why the phenomenon appeared just now?"

"Reporting to your majesty, this is precisely the reason why I came here."
