Ye Ru Shuang was taken aback by the words, clearly not understanding why the Empress Dowager had such an attitude as soon as they met. Seeing Xiatian Meng sitting beside her with a gentle and warm smile, she felt that such a smile was piercing to the eyes. But the rationality she currently possessed told her that the Empress Dowager was Xiatian Meng's backer. Even if she had a thousand humiliations, she couldn't help but temporarily bow her head...

  The Empress Dowager, after scolding her the night before, not only didn't admit her mistake but also seemed to have not heard anything, pointing at her and looking towards Nan Yunxuan: "Old Six! Is this your heart's desire? I think she has a particularly big temper!" Since she became the Empress, no one dared to be so unscrupulous in front of her, it was as if they didn't put her in their eyes!

  Nan Yunxuan hastily cupped his hands and begged: "Imperial Aunt, Third Miss Ye is just not very familiar with these tedious rules and etiquette. You also know that previously she... I'm sure she didn't mean to be so presumptuous!" In his opinion, Ye Ruxue was just like him, a free-spirited person who wasn't constrained by worldly conventions, naturally not valuing these rigid rules and etiquette. Haven't you seen how many refined scholars throughout history have refused the emperor's invitation to serve in office? It's just that they weren't bound by the shackles of reality!

  At night, like frost, she didn't understand what she had done and was told that her courage was great, but she also knew it couldn't be a good thing. She knew that the more she shrank back, the more guilty she would appear, so she knelt upright and looked straight at the Empress Dowager: "Although I don't know why Your Majesty is targeting me like this, all I can say is that hearing is false but seeing is true." This was to give the Empress Dowager a preventive shot. If Xia Tianmeng had spoken ill of her in front of the Empress Dowager, she couldn't be completely believed.

  The Empress Dowager smiled and didn't ask her to rise: "Oh? Then tell me, who has wronged you? Or do you think you are innocent?"

  The night frost replied calmly: "I, 'woman', have no fault to confess!" She had never made any big moves since crossing over, even the establishment of the killer alliance was done by Ammer, she herself hadn't even shown her face, it's absolutely impossible for the Empress Dowager to catch her off guard!

  Princess Lu Yang saw Ye Ru and couldn't help but sneer: "Miss Ye's meaning is that the Empress Dowager deliberately targeted you?"

  Ye Ru Ang was taken aback, seeing Lu Yang Princess dressed in finery, with a beautiful yet sharp and intimidating appearance. She knew that this kind of person would hate you to the point of wanting to kill you if they disliked you, but would want the whole world to like you if they liked you. Knowing that Lu Yang Princess was favored, Ye Ru Ang wanted to build a good relationship with her, but it was inconvenient at the moment. She could only express surprise and say: "Princess must have misunderstood, I never had such intentions! I just don't know what I did wrong to make Her Majesty the Empress Dowager so angry."

  The Empress Dowager let out a cold laugh and sat down on the high phoenix chair, looking down at her: "Look at this innocent look, others who don't know would think that I've wronged you! What crime have you committed? It's not clear whether you're unrepentant or if you really think this is no big deal."

  Although Ye Ru Shuang disliked being looked down upon and ignored, she had no choice but to bow her head: "I await Your Majesty's instructions."

  Nan Yunxuan, who was standing by, could only feel anxious and helpless. He thought that he and Ye Ruxue were kindred spirits, and their gatherings to drink and talk were just joyful discussions about life ideals. It was just that the world had tied them down, otherwise why would they be in this situation now, watching the Empress Dowager scold Ye Ruxue while he himself was powerless to do anything?

  The Empress Dowager saw Nan Yunxuan's anxious appearance and felt annoyed. Upon seeing Ye Ruxue's calm and innocent appearance, she let out a cold laugh: "Perhaps you were not very clever before, I don't want to force you to understand the rules, but men and women of different surnames should not sit together after the age of seven, this is something even children understand! You also became foolish after the age of seven, how can you still be so intimate with an outsider at your age?! Have you forgotten your identity? You are not only the third miss of a foreign surname's royal family but also the fiancée of the second prince! Your actions are slandering the second prince!"

  She picked up a new pot of tea and said, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't suppress her anger, so she coldly stared at Ye Ru Shuang, waiting to see what she would say.

  Ye Ru Shuang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Nan Yun Xuan's anxious face, and only then did she understand what the Empress Dowager meant by "crime", her heart burning with suppressed anger.

  She was a woman of the 21st century, with money and abilities, relying only on herself. Occasionally, she would play with excellent men, but it was always others who were eager for her attention! Now that she has arrived in this world, she can't even make friends without being **? And what about Nan Yi Xie's attitude towards her? It's not an exaggeration to say he's a violent dragon! There are also concubines in the mansion, why should she guard her body like jade, and not even allow her to talk to other men?

  "Your Majesty, perhaps this is a mistake in your eyes, but to me, it's the most normal thing. Night Frost looked at the Empress Dowager's wide-eyed stare, ready to give her a good scolding. "Why must relationships between people be divided by gender? It's so hard to find someone who truly understands you in this life. If I were to lose Cloud King because of the great divide between men and women, then I would be losing a close friend. Perhaps these things are not important to you, but let me make one thing clear: I never thought of marrying the Second Prince, there is no emotional connection between us."

  She had long wanted to break off the engagement with Nan Yi Ke, but she hadn't had the opportunity yet. Moreover, as the fiancée of the Second Prince, she was also a protective shield. At least in the palace, even if Old Lady Ye was dissatisfied with her because of this identity, she couldn't really do anything excessive to her. But now she didn't need it anymore, she had Yun Wangye who doted on her, and also the Crown Prince who was mutually in love with her. Since she could have the opportunity to become the Crown Princess, why would she still want the position of Second Prince's consort?

  Sitting next to Xia Tian Meng, looking at Ye Ru Feng's frank and straightforward appearance, she just wanted to laugh out loud. In the original text, Ye Ru Feng relied on her three-inch tongue and fearless attitude to gain the favor of Nan Yun Xuan and Lu Yang Gong Zhu, laying the foundation for future assistance. The dissatisfaction of the Empress Dowager in the original text was also put down due to Nan Yun Xuan's persistence, and even more so with the help of Nan Yi Ke and Nan Bi.

  Now that she is here, how can Ye Ruxue be allowed to succeed?

  "The orders of one's parents, the words of a matchmaker, Miss Ye is being too playful. " Xia Tian Meng slightly furrowed her brow, looking at Ye Ru Shuang's expression as if she were looking at an ignorant younger sister, full of worry, "Moreover, it was also personally agreed upon by the previous emperor?"

  On the side, Princess Luyang had not yet felt that Ye Ruxue was being too presumptuous when she thought of the late emperor's majesty due to Xia Tianmeng's words. She nodded repeatedly: "Exactly! Ye Ruxue, are you still thinking of disobeying the imperial edict? When you were foolish, even Xia'er didn't say anything about dissolving your engagement with him. Now that you've just woken up, you're actually thinking of dissolving the engagement? Do you think this is child's play?" She thought back to when she had disobeyed the emperor's orders and refused to attend school, her father had locked her in her room for a month and made her copy three Buddhist scriptures.

  At night, seeing Xia Tian's concerned expression made her feel nauseous! White lotus flower! Only knows how to pretend! Does she still need to intervene? Thinking to herself, her facial expression took on a few hints of nonchalance: "Miss Xia, if you were to marry someone without feelings, would that be okay?" She can marry the person she loves, but I have to marry someone without feelings, naturally, I can speak with an upright posture and not feel any pain!

  In the summer, Moe's face turned slightly pale, and with a hint of despair, she lowered her head: "What feelings... I guess it'll be fine if we just stay together for a long time..."

  The empress dowager, seeing her like this, thought of that gentle and cold grandson, and upon seeing Xia Tianmeng's pitiful appearance, felt a few more points of tenderness, so she reached out to pat the back of her hand: "Feelings are all developed through interaction, you're such a good daughter-in-law, Xiao Er will eventually understand your goodness." Then, raising her head to look at Ye Ruxue, her face was already full of impatience: "Do you think the late emperor's edict is child's play? If you want to dissolve the engagement, I'll take it upon myself to agree! Since you and Xiao Er have no feelings for each other, I suppose Xiao Er won't mind either!"

  She had always been dissatisfied with the idea of marrying such a clever child to a foolish woman, but she didn't dare say anything else for fear of losing face in front of the royal family. She thought that even if he was foolish, it would be fine as long as he married her and brought her back home, and then she could find some other good girls to be his concubines. But now that Ye Ruoxin had taken the initiative to propose dissolving the engagement, even if it became public knowledge, it would all be Ye Ruoxin's fault, and the royal family wouldn't have said anything!

  The night was like frost, and she slightly furrowed her brow, knowing that once words were spoken, they couldn't be taken back. Moreover, she indeed had many grievances against Nan Yi Ke. So, she nodded calmly: "Then I, 'the woman', thank the Empress Dowager for her understanding!" Only by annulling the engagement with Nan Yi Ke could she marry Nan Fei. Thinking this way made it seem insignificant. However, she couldn't understand why her heart was fluttering, as if something that originally belonged to her had been lost. She thought it was just the original owner's emotions interfering with her, but didn't know that the plot was diverging onto another path.

  "It's I, your son, who should be thanking you for your understanding, and also Third Young Miss for her understanding!"

  A clear voice rang out in the hall, and Nan Yunxuan, who was about to help Ye Rufeng up, froze in place. He turned his head to see three extraordinary men walking in together.

  Nan Yi Xun wore a plain white brocade robe, his handsome face filled with mocking smile, and slightly bowed to Nan Yun Xuan: "Imperial Uncle, long time no see."

  Nan Yunxuan and Nan Yixiao had a good relationship, they both loved to play and often went out together, saying they were uncle and nephew but more like brothers. Even though he knew Nan Yixiao didn't have any feelings for Ye Ruxue, facing her directly still made him feel awkward, so he stiffly smiled and said: "Long time no see."

  Nan Qi followed in and took a deep look at Ye Ruxue before rushing to the empress dowager, bowing his head: "Your son greets you, Your Majesty."

  The Empress Dowager, seeing Nan Qi's extraordinary demeanor, felt a sense of joy and affection. She pulled Xia Tian Meng's hand and smiled: "Little Qi is too serious, if not so gloomy, and often comes and goes with Meng Meng, it will be good for the future." In her opinion, even without emotional connection, time would make things better, let alone that Meng Meng was known to be easy-going.

  Nan Qi looked at Xia Tian Meng with a warm smile and nodded slightly: "Miss Xia."

  Xia Tian Mo smiled slightly and stood up to return the courtesy: "Participating in the Crown Prince's ceremony." Then she shifted her gaze to Nan Yi Ke and Nan Jiu, who had been silent all along, "Participating in the Second Prince's and Ninth Prince's ceremonies."

  Different from others, her gaze at Nanju was a clear smile ——
