Chapter 156 - The Common Enemy of Monarch's Heart

To put it bluntly, he had gathered all the talented ladies together and set up some kind of laurel crown reward. Afterwards, he had them sing a poem to the stars and moon in order to improve their relationship with the emperor.

In her previous life, Hong Zhong had graduated from an engineering course, so she did not have any talent in reading poems. Even if she copied a few of the famous ancient poems, they were limited to the simplest ones that even kindergarten children knew. Therefore, this first place reward was simply useless to her.

Furthermore, regarding this activity, Hong Zhong expressed that she had started to seriously question the quality of life of the ancient people.

There was really nothing new at all!

As he thought about this, he couldn't help but shake his head. What a pity for these pitiful children!

But, the noble ladies at the side, seeing this, thought that Hong Zhong was dissatisfied, and looked at each other, then looked at Nangong Yimeng, in the end, at the same time, at the event, it was mainly organized by Nangong Yimeng, and Hong Zhong's current unsatisfied look, did not have anything to do with them!

Nangong Yimeng frowned, anger faintly appearing in her beautiful eyes, but she was suppressed. "What? Hong Zhong, you keep shaking your head, are you not satisfied with the arrangement of this event? " She kept shaking his head. What was the meaning behind this!

"Nope." Hong Zhong said with a serious face: "Princess, don't think too much into it. Hong Zhong repeatedly shook her head. After that, she faced Nangong Yimeng's slightly dissatisfied face and shook her neck. There were a few large words written on her fair face — — I can't see!

Seeing that, Bei Chenyue chuckled to ease the two's awkwardness: "Princess Yimeng is the number one genius of our Southern Qi, the activities that we have planned are naturally also excellent."

After Nangong Yimeng heard this, the expression on her face eased up a little. The Nan Gong Family and the Beichen Family were the left and right sides of the Southern Qi, although both sides looked peaceful, but in reality, they were competing with each other secretly. For Bei Chenyue to praise her like this in front of everyone, she had a lot of face.

Although he felt that Bei Chenyue was right, he still had to show enough respect. Thus, with a humble expression, he said in his heart, extremely pleased with himself, "Miss Beichen, you are too kind. Yi Meng's first place name is only exaggerated.

All the noble women nodded their heads in agreement to Nangong Yimeng's words. It didn't matter if she was humble or polite, or if she truly wanted to praise others. In any case, it didn't have much to do with them, so everyone just nodded their heads in agreement.

Hong Zhong looked at the nodding crowd and also nodded with a face full of "sincerity". She said, "I also think that Princess Yimeng is right about everything.

"Pfft …"

Yi Meng's first name was nothing more than a compliment to the world.

— I also feel that everything Princess Yimeng said made sense.

Is that how you understand it?

The heads that were still nodding, suddenly froze. Nangong Yimeng had only said a few humble words on the surface just now. Was Hong Zhong truly not intelligent enough to understand, or did she pretend that she did not understand?

They nodded their heads to flatter Nangong Yimeng, but Juebi did not do it for the sake of brazenly ridiculing Nangong Yimeng, like how Hong Zhong was doing.

But no matter if it was Nangong Yimeng or Hong Zhong, the identities of the two were like looking up to an existence. Looking at the people that she envied and hated, the fact that they were going to flame each other was actually something that could make people happy, wasn't it?

"Hong Zhong, what do you mean?!" No matter how good Nangong Yimeng's temperament was, she could not hold it in. This damned woman, actually dared to mock her like this, making everyone laugh at him! Unable to hold it in, Nangong Yimeng smacked the table with his palm, and even knocked away the teacup on the table with his palm.

The scene was so quiet that it was scary. Everyone could only hear Nangong Yimeng's explosive shout and the sound of the teacup shattering, and after Nangong Yimeng finished venting her anger, she realized that her palm was shaking and hurting from the table.

The pain that came from his hands and the shocked and complicated gazes of the noble women made Nangong Yimeng quickly regain his senses, and he realized that he had been tricked by Hong Zhong just now!

Wasn't Hong Zhong purposely angering her so that she could get angry at her and destroy the image that she had painstakingly built up of in front of the crowd? At the same time, she also secretly comforted herself in her heart. Luckily, Cousin was not here, as long as Cousin did not see him, then it was fine.

However, Hong Zhong merely blinked innocently, and looked at everyone with a vacant gaze: "I was just looking at everyone nodding, so I also nodded my head. As for what I said, I had accidentally offended the Princess Yimeng with my words earlier, so when the princess said it, I immediately agreed.

Everyone lowered their heads and endured. With Hong Zhong's popularity being so great, he could still pretend to be innocent. They should be glad that they were the ones who offended Hong Zhong, not themselves!

Nangong Yimeng comforted herself from the bottom of her heart. Since Cousin was not here, there was no need for her to put on an act, so she coldly snorted with her beautiful eyes that were about to spew fire: "Since I was young, Esteemed Empress Dowager taught me to be humble and courteous, which was why I said those modest words. Hong Zhong, what are you? Since she was already prepared to fall out with Hong Zhong, then there was no point in letting her give Hong Zhong a hard time!

All the noble ladies were shocked. In the entire Southern Qi, the only person who dared to say such words to Hong Zhong was probably her, Nangong Yimeng.

Unexpectedly, after Nangong Yimeng finished her explosive drink, everyone felt an ice-cold pressure come from outside the room, causing them to clearly feel that the temperature of the surrounding had dropped by a few degrees. They quietly turned their heads, and couldn't help but let out some gasps.

Hence, Hong Zhong could guess that there was someone coming from behind him!

He immediately reached out and ruthlessly twisted his thigh, forcefully making himself feel as though he was crying. He looked at Nangong Yimeng with a innocent and harmless face, "The princess has received the guidance of the empress dowager, and is extremely talented. Her speech is simply too profound, Hong Zhong is shallow, and is unable to comprehend the meaning behind her words for the moment.

"maidservant thinks that since Esteemed Empress Dowager taught the princess to be humble and courteous, he must have also taught his to be kind and magnanimous to others as well. The princess is magnanimous, and I believe you can forgive Hong Zhong's small mistake, right?"

These words of "excuse" caused all of the noble women present to be completely dumbstruck by the sincere feelings in Hong Zhong's words, in addition to the regretful expression on her face and the faint glimmer of tears in her eyes.

To be lenient to others was the principle that all elders would call others juniors. If Nangong Yimeng insisted on teaching Hong Zhong a lesson now, then it would mean that she wasn't kind enough. Nangong Yimeng had been taught by the empress dowager since she was young, so wasn't this directly slapping Empress Dowager in the face?

So the situation now was that Nangong Yimeng had planned to take care of Hong Zhong, and in the end Hong Zhong did not do it, and even lost her good reputation, but now, she could not even investigate?

If they had not personally seen what had happened, they would have thought that the Red House was truly innocent. However, they knew what had happened so when they looked at Nangong Yimeng with a face filled with sympathy.

Nangong Yimeng had also thought of this, her small, fair face was pale white from anger, gritting her teeth as she endured the rage in her heart, her hand under her sleeve becoming a fist.

After Hong Zhong finished speaking, she opened her innocent eyes and looked at Nangong Yimeng, pretending to be pitiful. While she was pretending to be innocent and pitiful, she also felt two fiery gazes on her back.

At this moment, a deep voice came from behind them, "What are you doing?!"

Baili Ziyan looked at the copper mirror, and reached out to touch the palm imprint on her face. Her eyes burned with flames, one after another.

"Princess, Princess Qingyang has come to see you." A Xiao Gongnv lowered her head and respectfully spoke.

Baili Ziyan turned her head unhappily: "I won't!" Furthermore, she didn't have much of a relationship with Princess Qingyang, so why would she want to meet her?

Just as the servant girl was about to accept the order to leave, she heard a clear and bright female voice say, "If you don't see this emperor's daughter, you will regret it." After that, Feng Feili, dressed in a yellow embroidered dragon robe, invited them in.

Baili Ziyan turned her head and looked at her in displeasure. Today, she had been slapped twice by that bitch Hong Zhong, and now that Feng Feili had entered her own Yanran Palace without being invited, one by one, she was really not treating her as a Grand Princess anymore! As she thought of this, her mood turned even worse: "Who let you in? Get the hell out of here!"

Feng Feili was startled, a look of disdain flashed past her eyes, then unhurriedly sat on the stool opposite of Baili Ziyan: "Grand Princess, do not be anxious.

Hearing this, Feng Feili did not speak, but instead coldly swept her dignified gaze across the servants behind Baili Ziyan. This time, Baili Ziyan understood what she meant and spoke to the servants: "All of you leave for this princess.

"Yes." After Xiao Gongnv quickly accepted the order and left, he even closed the door.

After Xiao Gongnv left, Baili Ziyan turned her head and looked at Feng Feili haughtily: "Speak, what are you trying to do?"

Feng Feili didn't care about Baili Ziyan's arrogance in the slightest, only lightly smiled. However, this laughter made Baili Ziyan inexplicably angry, and she was also dissatisfied in her heart: "What are you laughing at?"

"Grand Princess, no need to be anxious." Feng Feili chuckled: "The reason the Japanese royal daughter is here today, is for our common enemy."

Baili Ziyan was startled: "A common enemy? royal daughter, are you not referring to Hong Zhong? " She had long wanted to kill her, but she didn't expect that Hong Zhong would actually also offend Feng Feili.

"Exactly." Feng Feili said indifferently.

Although Baili Ziyan was impulsive, she was not stupid. She spoke while looking at Feng Feili with a puzzled expression: "Hong Zhong is my royal brother's future concubine, and is also highly regarded by my Uncle Wang. She shouldn't have any connections with my royal daughter, right?" Since they hadn't interacted, why did she have to treat her as an enemy?

The corner of Feng Feili's mouth hooked up, a trace of contempt flashed past her beautiful eyes as she looked at Baili Ziyan: "It's precisely because of her that this royal daughter wants to deal with her, which is why your Uncle Wang views her so highly." Originally, she could have went straight to the Mystic Ruler and assassinated Hong Zhong. However, not long ago, she received a warning from Baili Yi Chen. If it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't offend Baili Yi Chen, she wouldn't have bothered to come here and argue with this foolish woman!

Baili Ziyan frowned and asked puzzledly: "Then why are you looking for me? And what is your ultimate goal? " Even if she hated Hong Zhong, with her abilities, killing her shouldn't be difficult.

"What my goal is is is not important. What is important is that you, Princess, hate her." Feng Feili raised his eyebrows and looked at Baili Ziyan: "And I can help Grand Princess, other than her!"

"Why should I believe you?" Towards a foreign person, Baili Ziyan was still a little worried.

Looking at Baili Ziyan's expression, Feng Feili could not help but laugh out loud: "You alone are not enough to kill Hong Zhong!"

When Baili Ziyan was told this, she immediately felt that his face was a little tight, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense. That bitch Hong Zhong, not only was she cunning, she was also sharp-tongued. In the end, she gritted her teeth and asked, "What do you plan to do?"

It was easy to fool her, no wonder that woman Nangong Yimeng would often use her as cannon fodder!

Feng Feili laughed and took out an exquisite porcelain bottle from her sleeves. "Find a chance and give this medicine to Hong Zhong to eat, that's enough!"

"What is this?" Baili Ziyan was a little confused.

Once upon a time, it was the only aphrodisiac in the Qingyang Kingdom. Due to its good medicinal properties, it was famous throughout the entire continent. However, because it was used by many popinjays as a means to gain power, it was ordered by the Blue Sun Queen to make it a forbidden medicine in the spring.

Therefore, even in the current Sky Profound Continent, there were very few people who could get their hands on this thing! Using this medicine on Hong Zhong was more than suitable.

Baili Ziyan is a young lady who has lived in the palace for a long time and has not married Yun Ying, so she naturally does not know what kind of medicine Spring Breeze is. Looking at Feng Feili's ruthless gaze, she was a little worried, "If I were to poison that little bitch to death, would I be unable to escape from her clutches!

Although she really wanted to kill Hong Zhong, it did not mean that she was willing to die with him.
