Volume 2: The Phoenix Descends, the Swan Goose is Shocked 025 Horizontal Add Difficulty

  The ruthless and overbearing War King Yun Qianye, the dazzling and charming War Queen Ruan Qincheng, stood together, instantly making the Cloud Emperor and the Empress, who had applied three layers of lip gloss, pale in comparison.

  The majestic Empress Dowager sat above, her phoenix eyes gleaming brightly as she painted a vivid picture of a beauty still in its prime. Her sharp gaze swept over Ruan Qindeng and paused for a moment. The long, slender fingers on her hand sparkled with jewels in the bright hall. That she could emerge victorious from the dark currents of palace intrigue and firmly occupy the position of first lady of the harem was proof that she was no ordinary person!

  "Ten thousand nights pay respects to the Emperor! Pay respects to the Empress Dowager!"

  Yun Qianye nodded his head and paid his respects, his voice cold and devoid of any extra emotions. Empress Zhenbi was not his birth mother, and he had no good feelings towards this ruthless woman. Perhaps the death of his birth mother back then was even related to her.

  "Qin Chen pays respects to Your Majesty Cloud Emperor! Pays respects to Her Majesty the Empress Dowager!"

  Ruan Qincheng said calmly, her voice as clear and melodious as a spring, flowing from her cherry-red lips, light and pleasant to the ear, making people feel refreshed. Her gaze swept lightly over Yun Huang's face, his appearance was still considered not bad. But the evil feeling between his eyebrows made her extremely uncomfortable. His complexion had a few shades of lustful sallowness, his expression frivolous. Under the bright yellow dragon robe, his body seemed to be thin and gaunt.

  "Hurry up and don't be polite!"

  Yun Huang's eyes stared straight at Ruan Qincheng's expressionless face, taking two steps forward to touch her jade-like hand. However, Ruan Qincheng sidestepped and barely avoided his grasp. At close range, looking at her face, if he hadn't had a bit of rationality left in his heart, he would have probably pounced on her already.

  At the thought of this, he sighed again and regretted that he should not have sent someone to put the love bug on Ruan Qincheng and Yun Qiye that day. Otherwise, with Qiye's proud personality, she would not have been willing to marry the foolish Yuan Fang. However, after being poisoned by the love bug, even if Qiye's internal strength was strong, it could not resist the control of the bug poison! It was really a miscalculation!

  Yun Huang has always been fond of women, and the palace is filled with concubines like clouds, countless. Even a palace maid with just a few points of beauty can't escape his clutches. Now, the number one beauty of the Yun Yan Empire stands right in front of him, making him feel an unbearable itch!

  "Your Highness, mind your surroundings!"

  Empress Zhenbi snorted twice, her face somewhat displeased.

  The Empress sat beside her, so angry that she spat blood, her eyes full of resentment. She was the niece of the Empress Dowager and relied on her beauty to maintain a stable position in the harem. Now that Ruan Qinchun had appeared, Emperor Yun's soul was gone! If Emperor Yun were to bring her into the palace, where would she stand?

  "I've long heard that the Emperor's teacher's daughter is as beautiful as a celestial being. Today, I see her and indeed she is extraordinary!"

  Yun Huang reluctantly looked at Ruan Qindeng twice, before returning to the dragon chair. Recalling his purpose, he suppressed the fire in his heart and opened his mouth to speak. He was able to ascend to the throne not only because of the great support of the Empress Dowager, but also because he himself had a deep understanding of politics and means.

  Of course, his methods were mostly sinister plots. A large part of the state's major events fell into War King Yun Qianye's hands, and he handled them with great order. Although War King was appointed by the previous emperor to assist his imperial brother, he was not willing to let power slip away from him, which is also why he was jealous of War King.

  "Yes, it's really too beautiful!"

  "Never thought the daughter of Emperor's teacher would be so beautiful!"

  "What a pity, I heard he's an idiot!"

  "Heaven is jealous of talented and beautiful women!"

  “……”

  Many officials heard the words and began to discuss them, their eyes focusing on Ruan Qincheng's body, but they didn't see her showing any signs of panic. Yun Qiuye saw that she always had a faint smile on her face, her demeanor elegant and refined, making him appreciate her even more in his heart. His original dissatisfaction with this marriage also gradually faded away. Even thinking that if he could have her by his side all the time, it didn't seem so bad after all.

  "The War King's Consort is the daughter of the Emperor's teacher, who is known for her exceptional talent. Can she show off her literary skills to all the officials in the court today?"

  A middle-aged man with a national character face, a pair of triangular eyes with a few slyness. A gloomy voice, with a hint of provocation.

  All officials heard the words and had a look of watching a good show, and the concubines on the seat were also secretly gloating, waiting to see Ruan Qindeng make a fool of herself.

  Yun Huang Zan Shang glanced at Cheng Xiang Zhēn Jiān with a thumbs up, feeling complacent and wanting to humiliate Wang. He had long since investigated that Ruan Qin Chen was born foolish and couldn't be cured, and was also a short-lived ghost. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used the imperial family's most precious treasure to exchange for this opportunity to humiliate Wang.

  "The Prime Minister must not deceive people too much!"

  A university scholar with a clear and dignified demeanor, standing out among the hundred officials. On his young face filled with bookish air, there was a hint of anger.

  "The university scholar shouldn't speak with a bloody mouth, it's just an opportunity for the war king's concubine to show off, where does this talk of deceiving people come from?"

  The prime minister said with a complacent smile on his face.

  Zhen Fei couldn't help but secretly cheer at the sight, able to make Ruan Qindeng lose face in front of everyone, she was overjoyed.

  "The Chancellor speaks with courtesy, Princess, you should not decline! Is the daughter of the Emperor's teacher really so ignorant and uneducated?"

  The queen, Liu Ruyan, said with a cold and sarcastic tone, the powder on her face fell off in a few handfuls as she spoke.

  As her words fell, everyone looked at Ruan Qincheng with a hint of disdain.

  "My queen, what right do you have to be gawked at here? Whether she has talent or not, she is my legitimate queen! Where do you get off pointing and staring!"

  Yun Qianye cast a cold glance over the crowd, and everyone couldn't help but shiver, feeling a chill run down their spines. From then on, no one dared to look at him again.

  "Qian Ye, don't be too presumptuous!"

  Empress Cui Bang slapped her hand on the table and coldly shouted.

  "If the Queen of War has no talent and no virtue, then we naturally cannot force others to do what is difficult!"

  "Indeed! Although the emperor's teacher is talented, unfortunately his daughter is not as capable!"

  "After all, she's just a woman!"

  "What talent can women have!"

  “……”

  As she watched the crowd press in on her, their hostility and aggression directed solely at herself, a cold smile floated onto Ruan Qindeng's lips. She had never provoked them, yet these people were deliberately looking for trouble!

  "Hehe, who dares to underestimate my little sister? I'm the first one to disagree!"

  A charming voice, clear and resonant, echoed out and fell into everyone's heart.

  The serene fragrance of sandalwood wafted into the Dragon Throne Hall, a figure in a water-blue robe walked step by step from outside the hall. Despite his sudden arrival, no one dared to block his path. Soft light floated and wandered on his body, with eyebrows like paintings, features like lotus flowers, enchanting and charming, making people dizzy and infatuated at just one glance, yet not daring to have any impure thoughts.

  Strangers on the road are like jade, and gentlemen in the world are unmatched.

  Lan Mingxuan walked into the grand hall, and in an instant, the entire hall's splendor couldn't compare to the dazzling brilliance emanating from his body.

  He walked in front of Ruan Qincheng, slightly nodded and smiled, shining like a star.

  "Ya Tou is the one Lán Míng Xuǎn has taken a liking to, you are not allowed to bully her!"

  His lukewarm and charming voice fell lightly, causing a commotion.

  The Cloud Emperor was in disarray, Yun Qianye was shocked, and everyone else stood frozen in place, their faces filled with astonishment.

  Only Ruan Qindeng met his gaze with a faint smile, and said in a gentle voice like a clear spring: "We meet again!"
