After Luo Lingwei said this, a buzz went through Xiaoqing's head. She felt that her master was extremely daring. If she had teased Luo Lingxiao and his mother earlier, it would have been understandable. Those two were only the family of a general, and the person in front of her was the wife of the Son of Heaven, the mother of the world. This was simply causing trouble! To act recklessly.

"Sister Weiwei, I think... "Why don't we just forget about it …" Xiaoqing bent down to pinch Luo Lingwei's shoulder as she quietly replied.

It wasn't that Xiaoqing was timid, but that Luo Lingwei was too gutsy. In the era that Luo Lingwei lived in, there was no longer a noble general, so it was impossible for her to feel the oppression of the feudal class, thus she dared to act in such a manner.

"Esteemed empress, I'd like to make it convenient for you. I'll be taking my leave for now." After Luo Lingwei had finished speaking, she led the two of them out of the imperial garden.

Seeing that the empress and the others had disappeared from sight, Xiaoqing let out a long sigh. She held her chest and said, "Sis Weiwei, you scared me to death. It's a good thing you didn't let anyone else hear what you said just now, otherwise we'd all lose our heads."

Luo Lingwei rolled her eyes in disapproval: "Empress? "Hmph, she's only relying on her position as a man. If the Emperor doesn't want her anymore, she's nothing at all. What's there to be afraid of in this kind of guy who's putting on a show?"

Luo Lingwei's words rendered Xiaoqing speechless. Although what Luo Lingwei said was reasonable, to the people around her, the Emperor was the supreme ruler. The might of the heavens and the glory of the heavens, was not enough to overcome this hurdle in their hearts.

In her heart, Luo Lingwei was still unhappy with those two green tea bitches. Needless to say, when Luo Lingwei saw the empress's appearance, she naturally knew that she wasn't a good person and was a small fry with her sister.

After leaving the Imperial Garden, Luo Lingwei felt incomparably comfortable. The feeling of oppression she felt just now had been completely swept away. Looking at the high walls of the palace, she could not help but think of the social practice in school when they were young. He could not help but sigh. This palace was a prison, but none of the prisoners knew it.

After breathing in for a while, Luo Lingwei returned to the imperial garden. However, just as he arrived at the royal garden, he saw the Queen staring at him with a smile that was not a smile.

Luo Lingwei knew that the empress did not like her, but she was still a social person who had fought in society before. She did not take it to heart, bowing towards the empress and sitting down.

"Princess, you've been gone for quite some time. Have you gotten lost?" The Queen said to Luo Lingwei calmly.

"That's right, big sister, this palace is not comparable to our family. Although you've been having problems memorizing roads since you were young, I didn't expect it to be like this now." Luo Lingxiao chuckled.

"That's right, wangfei is indeed as the rumors say …" The empress stopped speaking halfway through her speech, but everyone knew that the latter half of her sentence was "as foolish as the rumors say."

Luo Lingxiao, who was at the side, joined in the empress's chorus of laughter. As Luo Lingwei looked at these two, the anger she felt when she was persuaded by Xiaoqing rose up all at once.

She stood up abruptly, walked up to Luo Lingxiao and slapped him across the face. In that moment, the whole palace garden fell silent. Everyone was shocked by Luo Lingwei's sudden appearance. He didn't expect her to be so bold as to be so rude in front of the empress.

"How dare you!" When the eunuch at the side saw this, he shouted in anger, "How dare you be so rude!" As he spoke, he was about to go after Luo Lingwei.

Seeing him walk forward, Luo Lingwei did not hesitate to pick up Luo Lingxiao's teacup and pour the hot tea from the teacup onto the eunuch's face. Seeing Luo Lingwei walk forward, Luo Lingwei did not hesitate to pick up Luo Lingxiao's teacup and poured the hot tea from the teacup onto the eunuch's face. Luo Lingwei's attack was firm and ruthless. She did not hesitate at all. This sudden action scared Luo Lingxiao and the Queen silly.

"Who do you think you are? "Aunt, I'm the first wife of the Son of Heaven's uncle, how could a dog like you bully me?" Although Luo Lingwei's words were directed towards the eunuch, everyone knew that she was only cursing at him. When she said those words, the empress's face turned pale.

Soon after, Luo Lingwei turned around and pointed at Luo Lingxiao's nose: "I don't care how others laugh at me, but you, Luo Lingxiao, as my sister, also make fun of me in this way. That slap just now, was done to your face, and you couldn't accept it?"

Luo Lingxiao was dumbfounded. He never thought that Luo Lingwei would be so bold as to act so recklessly in front of the empress in the palace. He thought that he would be able to bully Luo Lingwei with the protection of the empress today, but he never expected that this fool would be so powerful.

Just as the Imperial Garden was in a state of chaos, he heard a loud shout from outside, "Your Majesty, you've arrived!"

A young man wearing a golden dragon robe walked into the imperial garden, followed by a group of people. Beside him stood Ye Lianhe.

"Your majesty!" Seeing that the emperor had arrived, the empress suddenly had a backbone. She thought to herself, I must definitely let the emperor take care of this little slut!

Just as the empress pretended to panic and pounced towards the emperor's embrace, she felt as if her skirt had tripped over something, flopping to the ground. Before she could react, a pair of hands reached out from beside her and helped her up.

"Oh wow, why are you so careless, Queen? Did your fall hurt this time?" Luo Lingwei quickly helped the empress up. Luo Lingxiao, who was at the side, saw it clearly. When the Queen ran towards the Emperor, Luo Lingwei stepped on a corner of her skirt, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground. If not, if he were to be held accountable by Ye Lianhe, his end would be miserable. However, he did not know that the palace maids and eunuchs next to him were thinking the same as Luo Lingxiao, and could only blame Ye Lianhe, the regent, for being so humiliating but not daring to speak up.

The empress was left with no choice but to admit defeat. Everyone kowtowed nine times to the emperor before returning to their respective places.

"Everyone, just now, I heard the Imperial Garden clamoring. Did something happen?" The Emperor asked lightly.

"Reporting to your majesty, just now I was waiting in the garden with the empress when a mouse came out and gave us a scare. This eunuch helped us drive away the mice and got his head injured. He's truly loyal and heartless!" Luo Lingwei's passionate speech stunned everyone. This ability to invert right and wrong was truly the best in the world.

The empress wanted to say something, but saw the emperor give her a look. She swallowed her words and pulled out a smile. "That's right. It was all thanks to Eunuch Zhang just now. I hope the emperor can give him some medicine to treat his wounds."

All of this had been witnessed by Ye Lianhe. He knew that his princess consort wasn't someone who was easy to deal with. He also saw her purposely stepping on the empress's skirt just now. Originally, he wanted to step out and clean up the mess for her, but he didn't know that she was able to control the situation. He couldn't help but treat Luo Lingwei differently.

At the same time, he looked at the handsome youth standing on the other side of the emperor and couldn't help but frown. That man is the Emperor's younger brother, Prince Pol. This person was different from his brother Tian Zi, who had grown up in the palace. He was a recognized genius in the Xuan Dynasty, and at the age of ten, he had already learned from ancient times to modern times. He became the emperor of the land, and in a few short years, he managed the land that was originally in chaos in a neat and orderly way, and at that time, he was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. There were even court officials who were sighing in secret. Why did such an outstanding prince have to be one year younger than the current emperor?

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the birthday banquet has been prepared. The envoys and ministers of the various countries are waiting for Your Majesty at the Sky Bearing Hall." A eunuch by the side said with a bow.

"Royal brother, fifth uncle, today is a joyous day. Let's go earlier. I haven't come back for six or seven years. I miss all the delicacies in the capital very much!" Prince Pao didn't wait for the emperor to speak. He took the emperor's hand and led him out of the imperial garden.

After the emperor left, the group of people majestically headed to the outer palace, the Sky Bearing Hall. On the other hand, Ye Lianhe came to Luo Lingwei's side and said in a low voice, "What happened just now was not because the others were fools. Do not act recklessly, or else even this duke will not be able to protect you." With that, he turned and left.

Luo Lingwei also knew clearly in her heart that just now, everyone was only afraid of Ye Lianhe's power and didn't dare to say anything about it. If there really was something that they didn't understand, then even if she didn't die today, she would at least shed a layer of skin. Thinking up to this point, Luo Lingwei could not help but feel some lingering fear.

"Ding dong. Greetings, respected customer. Congratulations for completing the hidden quest of teasing the empress and obtaining 50 HP."

However, at this time, the system had untimely jumped out of the system with this prompt, causing Luo Lingwei to not know whether to laugh or cry.

Not too long after, everyone arrived at the Sky Bearing Hall and sat down. At this moment, the large hall was filled with all sorts of tables that stretched all the way to the outside of the hall. There were over a hundred of them.

After a while, the banquet started. Luo Lingxiao, the number one beauty of the Xuan King, was here today to dance for the emperor. As expected of the number one beauty of the Xuan Empire, whether it was sitting quietly or dancing gracefully, it was extremely captivating. When he looked at her sister Luo Lingwei again, he felt disheartened.

"Giving a birthday present!" With a shout from the eunuch, everyone began to pay their respects to the emperor. The gifts of ambassadors and ministers were all priceless treasures. These treasures caused Luo Lingwei's eyeballs to nearly pop out of their sockets. Beside her, Ye Lianhe lightly coughed to remind her to pay attention to her identity and not to embarrass herself. Only then did Luo Lingwei's eyes go back to her eyes.

"Duke Qing's wedding gift, a golden treasured sword." Following the chief eunuch's call, Luo Lingwei's treasured sword made from the gold of the general's estate was brought up by two young eunuchs.

When the emperor heard the congratulatory gift, he was immediately filled with interest. The other party had given him a gift. He extended his hand and took out the treasured sword for a closer look. He was extremely happy in his heart.
