Emperor birthday ii

What make you change your mind,he ask.

Every lady would be dying to be your concubine not to talk of your wife, Xiaoling said.

Stop the buttress and go straight to the point, he said coldly.

Your majesty, pls forgive my impudence, I realise that my father can't protect me ,even my maternal home can't protect me , am lucky you interfere by sending me your trusted official, I don't know what would have happened if you didn't interfere, even father judgment show my status, pls give me another chance to be your Royal princess consort,she said politely.

He look at her, Shen help princess of Marquis manor to the hall,meet me at the Eastern palace, he order and left.

Thank you official shen,I would like to move on by my own,my handmaiden is waiting for me,Xiaoling said.

I don't dare leave you without carrying out his majesty order, pls lead the way princess, shen said.

*The imperial Hall*

Ministers, lords, Prince, princess, Marquis, official, nobles and ladies etc. All chat with each other.

Ling, come here, Yue said pointing to the chair next to him while Xiaoling sit beside him.

Dad isn't she trying to put our family in trouble, Xiaopeng said.

My lord how can she wear a veil at the emperor birthday, isn't that an insult to his majesty, Nanli said.

Quiet, Marquis Xiao said in anger knowing fully well what they are trying to do.

🪄Aren't you trying to hide your ugly face, princess Weylin said.

🪄Marquis Xiao isn't it a disrespect to his majesty, how can you allow your daughter to cover her face?

🪄 I hear she's a jinx.

🪄 are they wishing his majesty bad luck.

🪄 such audacity.

Yue slam his hand on the table in anger....

Everyone look at the fury coming out from him.

He was about to speak when Xiaoling stop him.

Let them speak their mind, she said to their hearing.

🪄 she's so full of herself.

🪄 she's so useless, yet so arrogant

🪄 what's the use of being a princess when she's a jinx.

🪄 am sure Marquis Xiao didn't teach her the etiquette.

🪄 I hear princess Jade overpamper her that she's so useless and even bedridden.

Who dare speak ill of my mother and sister, Xioayu who can't hold it any longer said in anger.

Me, what can you do, Lord Yan, minister of finance said as all the Lords and minister burst into erupt laughter.

Who's he, Xiaoling whisper to yue.

Minister of finance Lord Yan , minister of Rite lord Wang Best Friend and also Nanli older brother, yue whisper back.

It's seems lord Yan is stepping out of boundary, my mother is a reputable princess who earn her title with respect not because her parent is a Duke, so which means you deserved 10 beating ,for annoying a lord another 5 beating, so this kind of rudeness would be remembered from your generation, but as a princess, I would be generous enough to let go due to his majesty the emperor birthday, Xiaoling said coldly showing politeness and anger.

Everyone was shocked.

Marquis Xiao smile.

How dare you, Lord yan said in anger.

🎺🎺 Welcome the Emperor and Empress, the announce guard shout.

They all kneel and bow.

I hear the ruckus,why cause all this noise on his majesty birthday, Royal Concubine Xue ask.

Thank you your Royal Highness, it's Marquis Xiao daughter princess Xiaoling and son young master xiaoyu, who step beyond boundary of forgetting that it's only your majesty the emperor and Empress that can make decision concerning the minister but dare to order me beating, pls seek justice for me, Lord yan said.

Your Majesties, your Royal Highness, my children are well cultured that they won't dare trespass the rules of do's and don't, am sure minister of rite is making up some stories, Marquis Xiao quickly come out and kneel while Xiaoling and xiaoyu followed.

What's going on here, his dare you disrupted His majesty birthday,the empress ask in anger.

Princess Xiaoling of Duke Feng manor and Marquis manor plead guilty on behalf of me and my younger brother, Father is right Lord yan trespass his boundaries by insulting a princess bestowed by your majesty who happens to be my mother and neglect the level of hierarchy,disrespecting me and my brother is acceptable but not my mother who earn her dignity fair and square, I just told him by the law he should be giving 10 flogging and another five for disrespecting a lord who happens to be my father Xiaoling explained.

How dare you make judgment here,and I never disrespect His majesty minster of rite said in anger.

Your majesty pls give me punishment for speaking out if line since the rules has changed, Xiaoling kowtow.

Welcome Regent beiyu.....the announcer hasn't finished when sword slay his head away.

Fear grip the other guards, Lord, minster's, concubines, princesses, princes, Duke, Marquis etc.

Welcome His majesty the regent, a guard shouted.

They never expected him to be here,he never come why now,they thought,with the concubine who bow in respect waiting for him to sit as they bring his golden chair at the right hand side close to the emperor while the empress own was at left side,the emperor is at the middle one step high while the Royal concubine three step low to the empress and regent.

Take Lord yan and have him received his punishment before coming back, Regent Beiyue said as two guards came and drag lord yan out.

Pls forgive me your majesty, lord yan plead mercy.

Xiaoling smile within, if not for him again, she's sure the emperor who let go of everything and favor lord yan.

Thank you your majesty, Marquis and his family thank.

Why is he here, that's the thought of Everyone, whenever he's if he say a word it's going to be a problems, so it's better he never appear than appear.

He's no longer wearing mask, he's so handsome, Xiaoling thought.

Princesses and other noble ladies has started drooling.

Everyone was waiting for him to sit because no one dare stand up or raise their head the one who try it before ,he turn into a monk.

Regent you can have your sit, empress said.

He ignore her and went to his sit.

They all rise and sit.

They sigh in relieve.
