When the empress's words came out, everyone could see her preference. Shen Ling Han was talented, but also carried an auspicious sign. That meant that other than being good-looking, Shen Ning Hua had no other advantages. A woman's appearance alone was not considered pretty at all.

Baili Qing Cang glanced at him indifferently and did not say anything. The Queen smiled and said, "Ling Han, come up and take a look."

Shen Ling Han couldn't suppress the excitement in her eyes. She took a deep breath and stood up. She walked to the center of the hall lightly and bowed, "Your daughter, Shen Ling Han, greets the emperor and the empress."

"Truly a heartbreaking beauty. I heard that your brother has also returned?"

Shen Xuan Ye stood up and stood beside Shen Ling Han after bowing.

The Queen looked at the two of them as she nodded with a face full of smiles. She turned around and said to Baili Qingfeng, "Your Majesty, these two look quite similar. Lady Zhao is truly blessed."

Baili Qing Cang calmly said, "That's right."

"That's right. Twins are already quite rare, not to mention the Dragon and Phoenix Twins. The moment I saw Ling Han, I felt very close to her. Shen Xuanyin is a man, so it's inconvenient for me to reward her. I can only give her some things. "Meixue, send this pair of bracelets to Shen Ling Han."

Shen Ling Han immediately knelt to thank him. She was extremely excited. With the Queen's intimacy and the words of the Emperor, who could win against her? Shen Dong would definitely release her and her mother from the ancestral hall. After that, she would have the ability to suppress Shen Ninghua!

"Many thanks, esteemed empress."

"Yes." The empress answered with a grunt, turning her gaze towards the emperor at the side.

"The young master of the Shen family, Shen Xuan, is truly talented. I am very pleased and especially bestow upon you four treasures and a hundred taels of gold as a reward. I hope that everyone will take this as an example to repay you for your kindness to our country."

Shen Dong's face was filled with excitement as he stood up, "This humble subject thanks Your Majesty on behalf of my son."

However, Shen Ninghua knew that since the empress had mentioned the Shen family, Mrs Zhao and Shen Ling Han would definitely not be locked in the ancestral hall anymore.

"Yes." Baili Qingfeng seemed to be in low spirits as he sized up the crowd below with a somewhat absent-minded manner.

The subjects could not figure out what the emperor was thinking. They could only continue to drink uneasily. The empress, who had achieved her goal, was extremely satisfied as she exchanged words with a few of her in-laws.

Naturally, there were some outstanding disciples who came forward to celebrate the banquet. The third and fourth princes also came forward to offer their sword dance, which caused the surrounding people to praise them one after another. Baili Qingyuan also rewarded the two swords, causing the two of them to instantly be beaming with joy.

The Third Prince was slightly unhappy: "Shen Xuan Ye, you are also good at sword dance? Just a moment ago, royal father praised you for your talent, but I never thought that you would actually have both the martial arts and the martial arts, if it is not so then why don't you also display it to royal father? "

Shen Xuanyi's eyebrows twitched, "Reporting to the Third Prince, my martial arts are poor, I do not dare to embarrass myself."

Chu Junyi looked up at him and said, "Young master Shen is too modest. Third prince, you haven't heard that on the day of the birthday banquet, when young master Shen was dancing with his sword, someone threw a flying flower at him. The radiance of the flying flower filled the air, and the word 'birthday' was formed when the flower petals landed on the ground."

The third prince looked more and more dissatisfied as he asked, "Why didn't Young Master Shen perform for a while?"

Shen Ninghua and Chu Junyi looked at each other with a faint smile on their faces. The Third Prince was the most impulsive of them all, and he was a competitive man. Because his mother held the position of imperial concubine, his son's mother held quite a high position in the palace. Shen Xuanyi did not care whether or not she would step forward to perform the sword dance. With this incident, she would definitely offend the Third Prince. Shen Xuan Ye also thought of this point, and immediately stood up and cupped her hands, "Your majesty, your servant …."

Baili Qingfeng waved his hand, "It's fine even if you're not proficient in martial arts. The princes practice martial arts to train their willpower. As long as they have people and countries in their hearts, we can't do anything."

"The Emperor is wise." Everyone praised.

"I'm tired, so I'll go back and rest first. Empress, please come with me. The Crown Prince will take care of all the officials in my place."

Dressed in the attire of a crown prince, Baili Jinyi quickly agreed, "Yes, royal father."

The empress laughed. "Your majesty, there are quite a few female servants present at the banquet. It's the perfect time of the year now, and the imperial garden isn't far away from the pavilion. There's no need to hold people back. It has been a long time since the Imperial Palace was so lively. "

"Mm, not bad."

"Your majesty, esteemed empress, take off!"

After the two of them left, everyone's emotions relaxed. Shen Xuanyi returned to her seat as usual, but Shen Ninghua was keenly aware of his anger. The reason why he stood up was because he wanted to show off his talents in front of the Emperor. Unfortunately, Baili Qingyuan didn't give him the chance to do so. Thinking of this, Shen Ninghua almost laughed out loud in a low voice.

Shen Xuanyi had relied on her status as Grandmaster Chen's disciple to travel who knows how many steps faster than others. She had miscalculated today.

With the empress's words, quite a few ladies got up and walked towards the imperial garden. Shen Ling Han held Shen Ninghua's hand and said gently, "Big Sis, the imperial garden should be very beautiful. Let's go take a look as well. It's rare to have the opportunity to enter the palace."

Shen Ninghua swept a glance at the wrist she was grabbing and said with a smile, "Okay, then let's go take a look."

Zhao Ruyun walked over with a frown and pulled Shen Ling Han behind her, "Ling Han, you're still so soft-hearted. You want to be a good sister, but unfortunately, other people might not be good sisters. You'd better be careful to avoid being tricked by others."

"Cousin, elder sister treats me very well." Shen Ling Han revealed a pale smile, with worry on her face. No matter how she looked at it, she was bullied to the point that she didn't dare to make a sound.

"Hmph, the emperor just praised you personally. The empress has also bestowed her upon you, who knows what people might do out of jealousy. Let's go, I'll bring you around." Zhao Ruyun gouged out Shen Ninghua with her eyes, then pulled Shen Ling Han out.

Chu Junyi walked over to them and watched them leave. She sighed with emotion. "If anything happens to these two, I'm afraid Miss Shen will be in for a ride of misfortune."

Shen Ninghua smiled, "Walking on the flat ground is inevitable that you'll fall and break your teeth. It's strange that everything in life goes according to your heart, if something happens, you can only prove that you're not careful enough. This is the palace's inner court, I'm afraid that I might take a wrong step and not even dare to say a word."

"That's reasonable. The scenery outside is just right. How about I invite Miss Shen to take a look?"

"Alright."

Baili JinChuan turned around and asked Shen Xuanhua, "Is your elder sister on good terms with Young Master Chu?"

Shen Xuanhua stared at the two departing silhouettes at the entrance of the great hall and felt slightly puzzled, "Big Sis values the rules. Usually, she stays in the Shen Clan and doesn't come out to greet the moon." How could he have a good relationship with an outsider?

Baili JinChuan's finger paused, and he couldn't help but smile. Shen Ninghua valued rules the most? She had cheated him of five thousand taels of gold. If it were silver, it would have cost her eighty to ninety thousand taels of gold. This was something that a person who followed the rules would be able to do.

Shen Xuanhua could not help but frown as he bowed to the Second Prince and said: "Your Highness, I'll go look for my Big Sis. She is the kindest, who knows when she might be bullied."

Baili Jinchuan choked, "..." You. "Go ahead." Shen Xuanhua quickly walked out of the palace and stood up as well. There was no point in tossing and turning the banquet around. He might as well go and see how Shen Ninghua was being 'bullied'.

She was supporting her face with one hand, revealing her wrist that was as white as snow, as if she was being blown comfortably by the breeze. Her bright black eyes were slightly squinting, like a cat curled up comfortably in the sun, causing people to itch in their hearts when they saw her. They couldn't help but go forward and poke at her, seeing that her claws were exposed.

Seeing that she had suddenly retracted her expression and turned back into that gentle and smiling young girl, Baili JinChuan could not help but feel disappointed in his heart.

"Big Sis, why are you here? Just when we saw that there was a pavilion built on top of the fake mountain there, we wanted to go up and have a seat together. Why don't you come with us?" Cousin said that more than half of the palace could be seen from the pavilion. "

Shen Ninghua raised his head and looked at her. His previous relaxation had made her not want to get entangled with Shen Lingghan anymore. She asked impatiently, "Little sister, did you forget what Grandmother said? Do not run around in the Imperial Palace. "

"Big sister, I know, but many people have gone. Don't worry, we'll definitely be fine."

"Alright, then let's go take a look." Shen Ninghua glanced at her and nodded her head in agreement. Since she insisted, then she would take a look at what Shen Ling Han was up to.

Shen Ling Han immediately went to find Zhao Ruyun to talk, and the few of them held onto each other as they walked towards the fake mountain.

Baili JinChuan looked around but didn't see Chu Junyi. He was a bit puzzled. "Miss Shen, why are you here alone?"

Shen Ninghua smiled and said, "Greetings, Duke of the County."

Baili Jinchuan laughed, "Many thanks to Miss Shen. Please settle your invitation for a banquet some other day."

"If you want to thank me, you might as well give me some silver coins." Shen Ninghua said as he walked towards the fake mountain.

Baili JinChuan kept up with her footsteps, "I thought Miss Shen didn't like those mundane things."

"Hehe, you are wrong about that. I am a mortal, so naturally I like common things the most. If you give me a few hundred thousand taels of silver, I can give it to you if I find a good way in the future."

"That's not difficult at all. If Eldest Miss had the ability, then let alone several hundred thousand taels of silver, even the prince's mansion would be easy to deal with." Baili JinChuan looked at her with a smile, his eyes were filled with concentration.

Shen Ninghua's heart skipped a beat. "Second Prince, you must be joking. I don't have that much ambition. If I can get some silver coins, choosing a beautiful place to live in peace is what I love the most."

Baili JinChuan smiled and did not say anything else, as if he was just saying something out of the ordinary.

On the other hand, Shen Ninghua's heart was not at peace. Slowly, she began to think more and more.

The pavilion at the top of the mountain was exceptionally wide, and Shen Ninghua was able to catch a breath as he looked into the distance.

Shen Ling Han seemed to have seen something and became excited. She turned around and pulled Shen Ninghua forward, "Big Sis, come and take a look. Over there, over there."

Shen Ninghua wasn't prepared for this and was pulled to the edge of the pavilion by her. She wanted to turn around and retreat, but she found that Zhao Ruyun was already standing on her other side. "What's so good about this place?"

Shen Ling Han suddenly got close to her, and said in a low voice with hatred, "This is your grave, you don't have to take a good look."

Shen Ninghua raised her gaze abruptly, a stern look flashing across her eyes. Before she could do anything, she felt the ground beneath her feet shake. When she came to her senses, the ground beneath her feet had already become empty. A wave of force came from behind her, and before she could shout, she had already fallen down the mountain.

Shen Ling Han screamed, "Big sis!"
