"Have you heard? His Majesty didn't even stay with the Imperial Minister of Pingnan on the first night before leaving."
“How can we still call him Emperor Qing? He still thinks he is a prince of the Yu Kingdom. Once he enters the Wushui Kingdom, how can we allow a foreign prince like him to be so arrogant?”
"If he's not called Emperor Minister, what should he be called? His Majesty didn't even give him a title. Although he was brought in with the honors due to a noble consort, His Majesty didn't give the word, so he can only be called Emperor Minister. Therefore, he can't even be considered a member of the harem!"
"Indeed, His Majesty prefers dashing figures like you and me, not someone like him who acts all high and mighty, just putting on airs!"
"Exactly. Who in this world is greater than His Majesty? If you don't humble yourself before His Majesty, what are you asking for death?"
"Hahaha, his suicide is our only way out, so that there won't be another person trying to steal it."
"However, he is indeed cunning and resourceful. Have you heard? The prince of Yu Kingdom has actually started farming."
"It's the right time to plant now, but how does he know how to plant? Where did he get the land?"
"Pfft, it's hilarious! He pulled up all the exotic flowers and plants in the courtyard. I bet it won't be long before his Qinghua Palace turns into a wheat field. Just thinking about it is funny!"
"You saw clearly that it's wheat. Could it be some rare seed brought from the Kingdom of Yu? What if he uses it to flatter His Majesty..."
Everyone tensed.
The hearts that had just relaxed immediately tensed up again.
They continued to send people to monitor every move of Qinghua Palace. After waiting for more than a month, the seeds sprouted. Experienced palace servants immediately recognized them as wheat, along with various vegetables and fruits.
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, a moment of relief punctuated by a burst of mocking laughter.
"His Yu Kingdom probably doesn't have any rare or exotic plants, so they actually grow vegetables!"
"A prince growing vegetables, how dignified!"
This time, no one cared about Xiao Ling at all.
He was so quiet that he was almost invisible.
so……
When the news came that Emperor Pingnan had been conferred the title of Imperial Noble Consort, everyone was stunned.
The entire harem fell into a deathly silence.
Suddenly, everyone was in a state of panic. What had happened that they didn't know about?
That night, the nobles couldn't sleep, and the palace servants ran themselves ragged.
Finally, we got the news.
"The plague in the Yu Kingdom has been completely quelled. An envoy was sent to inquire after the Emperor of Pingnan, and His Majesty then bestowed upon him the title of Imperial Noble Lady."
Everyone fell silent.
"..."
Even if His Majesty dislikes Emperor Pingnan, as long as the Yu Kingdom is strong, Emperor Pingnan will be in an invincible position. In particular, the Yu Kingdom seems to care about him very much, and has even sent envoys to him.
...
At the banquet.
The king of Wushui Kingdom and the envoy of Yu Kingdom enjoyed themselves immensely.
Xiao Ling sat to one side.
The envoy rose and said to Xiao Ling, "Your Majesty, I have met with the Emperor of Pingnan. When Your Majesty came, you asked me to see the Emperor. Now that I see that the Emperor is in good health, I can report back to Your Majesty."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. The King treats me very well, so please rest assured!"
The king of Wushui Kingdom raised an eyebrow and glanced at him.
After the banquet.
Xiao Ling walked through the cool night breeze of the inner palace.
Suddenly, someone emerged from behind the pillar.
"Have I treated you well?"
Xiao Ling smiled. These days, his mind was relaxed and peaceful, and his smile was as gentle as a spring breeze, instantly rippling the heart of the king.
"Yes, His Majesty treats me extremely well!"
He bowed and returned to Qinghua Palace with a relaxed air.
The king of Wushui Kingdom sighed.
He followed silently behind.
Xiao Ling left the door open for her.
Wait for her to come in.
Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Your Majesty, will you stay here tonight?"
"Um!"
