However, her state of mind was completely different this time. Every scenery that she saw gave her a different feeling.

In her previous life, she was once the empress of Feng Qianyue, and adding in the time she had spent in the cold palace, it had already been more than two years.

Feng Qianyue had once held her hand and told her that once he ascended to the throne, it would be time for them to view the vast world together. She thought that this palace would be the starting point of her happiness. Her many years of hard work had finally paid off.

When she sat with him on the throne room wearing a phoenix crown and received the worship of all the civil and military officials, when she was praised by the crowd as "thousand years, thousand years, thousand years, thousand years", her eyes filled with tears and she was grateful —

The man she loved and loved with her life did not disappoint her after all. For a woman who had a relationship with a husband, this was a great fortune.

She secretly made up her mind. In the first ten years, she would accompany him to seize the mountains and rivers. In the next ten years, she would do her best to help him manage a peaceful and orderly imperial palace.

However …

Everything was just a ridiculous delusion on her part!

In Feng Qianyue's future, he had never given her a spot. The reason he brought her to the throne room was only to show her off for the officials to see. At that time, he had already thought of how to get rid of her.

"We're here."

Lian Ruyue was still lost in her thoughts of the past when she heard a voice. She looked up and realized that she had arrived at the Royal Palace.

"Madam, this way please." The eunuchs and palace maids who had received orders came over and respectfully led everyone to their seats. The princess, concubine, wife, and noble daughter sat to the west side in order. The prince sat to the east, and the three brothers of the Xiao family were already there.

Lian Ruyue had just appeared, and she immediately became the focus of the entire Supreme Ocean Palace. Everyone's gaze turned towards her in unison, causing the hall to seemingly freeze for a moment …

Last time, because of the crow, she was personally escorted to the palace by the emperor. She was almost burned to death, but because of the strange event of 'the dead trees meeting spring', she was released.

Originally, the news of the palace spread extremely quickly, not to mention that she was such a miraculous thing. Naturally, everyone knew about it, so the moment she arrived, others would want to see it from her body.

On the day of the empress dowager's birthday, she wore a more festive and auspicious outfit than usual. She wore a top embroidered with red Begonia, and her skirt was covered with two yellow tassels. Her skirt fluttered with her footsteps, giving off a hazy glow, like a blooming spring flower.

However, the style of her hair was relatively simple. There was only a butterfly and ear of gold hairpin in her hair, and her facial features were picturesque. Her skin was snow-white, and her unique cold and elegant temperament made it even more impossible for anyone to look away.

She didn't even know that in this year, her appearance had unknowingly undergone some changes. That kind of beauty seemed to have finally appeared and was slowly showing itself to the Foreign Minister. One day, she would be unable to hide her beauty any longer.

Feng Qianyue had arrived a long time ago, and he sat in the middle. He was dressed in purple brocade clothes, and his engraved facial features, as well as his cold demeanor, made him particularly eye-catching.

His gaze was focused on outside the door. When he saw Lian Ruyue's figure, he raised his wine cup and squeezed it — —

The last time she was brought into the palace by her father as an ill person, he had entered the Prime Minister's residence as part of his visit to find out about the raven incident. Afterwards, he had rushed to the Imperial Palace and found out that the princess of An Kingdom had entered the Hall of Rongyuan Palace, but had not come out for four whole hours.

It was only until a strange story of a dead tree meeting with spring came to mind.

Hehe … He lowered his head to drink his wine, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

However, Feng Qianyue finally saw through it completely as well.

This time, he directly saved her life, and Lian Rue didn't resist him in the slightest. In fact, she even trusted Feng Yunzheng, if not, based on her personality, she would not have let Feng Yunzheng interfere in his matters.

This greatly enraged Feng Qianyue!

He wanted to get up and greet her as he always did, but when he recalled her heartless words from the past, he finally held his ground, raised his head, and poured all the wine in his hand into his stomach.

Lian Ruyue faced all kinds of gazes and calmly sat down in her seat. At this moment, the birthday banquet had not yet officially started, and according to the arrangements for the banquet, everyone could have fun at the Jade Light Garden, which was connected to the Supreme Ocean Palace.

"Elder sister, Your Highness has called me. I'm going." As usual, he specially came over to inform Lian Ruyue that he had returned to his previous state of mind.

"Go, be careful." Lian Ruyue reminded him.

"Alright." He then stood up and walked towards the direction of the Sixth Prince, Feng Yu.

Lian Ruyue looked at the teapot opposite her. According to her understanding of palace etiquette, the emperor was currently leading the empress and four imperial concubines to Shining Palace to welcome the empress dowager, listen to her teachings, eat a long meal, eat a little fruit, and so on.

At this time, at the True Sun Sect entrance, the servants and guards of the officials were waiting outside. Leng Mei, Qing Dai, and Chen Xiang were guarding Lian Yue's carriage, sitting at the front of the carriage with one foot in it.

Not far away, a head sneakily looked over. When he saw Leng Mei closing her eyes to sleep, a smile broke out on his face, and then he quietly ran away.

Suddenly, Leng Mei opened her eyes. A cold glint flashed across her eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Leng Mei closed her eyes again. There was no expression on her face, but the hand holding the command medallion tightly clenched.

She was already used to her cold demeanor, so she didn't pay too much attention to it. She didn't ask any further questions.

"Madam, madam …" In the carriage, Senior Servant Zhen ran in, panting. "Wang Bao just now, that green branch from the Immortal Lotus Courtyard and the maidservants are guarding the carriage for Eldest Miss. Those green branch brushes are still dozing off on the carriage."

"Are you sure you didn't see wrongly?" Lian Shiya asked.

"He said that he stared at it for an hour and didn't find anything abnormal." Senior Servant Zhen replied.
