Demoting the Wife to a Concubine? The Reborn Legitimate Daughter Crippled his Entire Family.

Ling Fengyang was imprisoned in the Prison Prison for three days and both of his legs were broken.

Even if an imperial doctor was ordered to diagnose and treat him, he would not be able to keep his legs intact in a short period of time. Moreover, in such a harsh environment of the Penal Department Prison, he had no chance to rest and recover.

The injury will worsen step by step, and if he can't see the emperor, he will even die here.

As the Nan Zhao envoy was about to arrive in Shengjing of Yong State, one can imagine Ling Fengyang's anxiety.

"I want to see the regent, I want to see the emperor!" Ling Fengyang roared in pain, "Come here, I want to see the regent, I have something to tell him!"

The jailer whipped him: "What a shame! You shouldn't have said anything when the regent was here. Now you are clamoring to see the regent. Do you really think that the regent will be free to see you at any time?!"

"I want to see the regent, I want to see the emperor!"

"Stay there." A prison boss came over and looked at him coldly, "The regent is busy receiving distinguished guests from afar and has no time to pay attention to you. Let's wait until the envoy leaves."

"I want to see the Prince Regent, I want to see the Prince Regent, I want to see the Prince Regent..."

Seeing his half-dead look, the cell leader snorted coldly and didn't bother to pay attention.

On October 18th, Nan Zhao's envoys finally arrived at the Yong Imperial City.

Right Prime Minister Xie Tinglan and officials from the Ministry of Rites went out of the city to greet him.

At the Regent's Palace at this time, Ji Yucang personally put Shen Ning into a crimson dress and put a black robe on her body.

Shen Ning stood silently in front of the mirror, looking at herself in the mirror wearing a black robe and red clothes, and vaguely saw the Princess Nan Zhao who once roamed the battlefield.

Although they have different appearances, different ages, and different identities, she knows in her heart that they are the same person.

Ji Yucang asked her to wear this outfit to go to the palace banquet. She vaguely understood the purpose of it and did not resist.

After all, some people owed her too much, and she didn't want to make excuses with him, but wanted to use the most ruthless means to get justice for herself as quickly as possible.

"Will the Queen Mother attend today's palace banquet?"

"No." Ji Yucang nodded, "Her presence will only affect the emotions of those present, and will have no other effect."

Shen Ning said nothing, but she knew in her heart that the Queen Mother was actually more qualified to appear than her. After all, the Queen Mother was the mother of a serious emperor.

Traditionally, the emperor and the empress appeared together when entertaining envoys.

Although the emperor has not yet taken charge personally and the power is in the hands of the regent, the regent is not the emperor, and the regent concubine is not the mother of the country.

The name is not justified.

It's a pity that neither Ji Yucang nor Shen Ning is a stickler for rules, not to mention that today is a special palace banquet.

"Prince Regent, Princess." Mammy came over and bowed, "The eldest princess's carriage has entered the palace."

Ji Yucang said: "Let's go too."

Shen Ning hummed, turned around and walked out.

The palace banquet was held in Fengtian Hall.

The prime ministers on the left and right were all present, and the Minister of Rites and officials warmly entertained the distinguished guests from outside.

A high-pitched voice sounded: "The eldest princess of Pingyao has arrived!"

Everyone in the hall turned their heads.

An old minister in the hall frowned: "Why is Princess Pingyao here?"

Yan Qingchen smiled gently: "The eldest princess of Pingyao is also an official with real power. Is it strange to attend the palace banquet today?"

"Does the eldest princess hold the real power in her hands?" Someone among the envoys of Nan Zhao asked, "Can women of Yong State be officials like men?"

Xie Tinglan smiled casually: "Although there are not many precedents, Princess Pingyao is an exception."

As soon as these words were finished, the eldest princess of Pingyao had already entered the main hall. With her tall figure and noble and unruly demeanor, she looked around with a condescending look in her eyes, like a queen patrolling her territory.

Even though she is a daughter, the men who look down on their daughter's family dare not speak.

"I heard that Nan Zhao was in a difficult situation and came all the way to the Yong Kingdom to seek help." The eldest princess of Pingyao turned her eyes slightly and landed on the row of Nan Zhao envoys. "How do you plan to ask for help? Marry the princess?"

On the right, there are nine important ministers of Nan Zhao, plus exactly ten people who are imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

Two beauties wearing red gauze sat in the second row with their heads lowered, accompanied by eight maids in red.

Their guards all stayed outside the palace gate, so the battle in front of them looked...

"Is this how the Yong Kingdom treats guests?" The leader of Nan Zhao's envoys was a man in his twenties and nineties. He was wearing a purple robe with intricate embroidery. He seemed to have a distinguished status and was not comparable to ordinary envoys.

Princess Pingyao's eyes fell on him, with a bit of contempt in her eyes: "What's your name? Who do you think you are? What kind of hospitality in Yong Kingdom are you qualified to question?"

"You!" The man's face turned livid with anger, "The Emperor Yong is so incompetent that a woman is making such a noise here?"

"Marquis Zhongyong doesn't know something." Xie Tinglan spoke up in time to smooth things over, introducing the identity of Princess Pingyao to the other party enthusiastically and sincerely, "This is Princess Pingyao of the Yong Kingdom, the eldest daughter favored by the late emperor, who has military power. , now he has received a post in the court, and his status is much more noble than that of Zhongyong Hou. "

His words were neither quick nor slow, neither humble nor overbearing.

The last sentence was the finishing touch, and immediately made Marquis Zhongyong's face turn stiff and blue. He wanted to be angry but did not dare to get angry. He could only force out a smile and clasped his fists to plead guilty: "Is that so? It turns out that I have blind eyes and don't recognize Taishan. Please grow up." Please forgive me, princess."

"It doesn't matter." Princess Pingyao walked to the frontmost seat on the left and sat down, just opposite the seat of Nanzhao Zhongyong Marquis. She could see him when she raised her eyes, "I admire capable men the most. Since you look down on women, I think I must be much more capable than a woman. I will discuss this with you later.”

Before Zhongyong Marquis could speak, someone among the other envoys of Nan Zhao spoke up: "It's really fate. Marquis Zhongyong once had a wife who was the eldest princess of Nan Zhao's God of War. Have you heard of it, Princess?”

As soon as these words came out, Han Xun's face instantly became extremely stiff, and he turned to look at the speaker coldly: "Master Ji."

"I'm sorry." Mr. Ji suddenly realized something and apologized, "The eldest princess Zhaohua has always been a pain in the heart of the Marquis. I shouldn't mention it rashly."

"It turns out that Marquis Zhongyong is still the prince-consort of the royal family." The eldest princess of Pingyao raised her eyebrows. "Is it because you married that eldest princess that you were granted the title of marquis?"

Zhongyong Hou Han Xun looked ugly: "My wife has died of illness. I hope the eldest princess will not mention it."

"Died of illness?" The eldest princess of Pingyao was surprised, and then apologized, "This gentleman just said, I thought that the eldest princess's wife didn't want you anymore, but I didn't expect that she was deceased. I'm sorry."

A gloomy look flashed across Han Xun's eyes, and he couldn't help but clenched the wine cup in his hand.

What he hates most is that there are always people who say that he came to power by relying on the nepotism of Princess Zhaohua. Now that Princess Zhaohua is dead, his position as marquis is rock solid.

This is what he earned by his own ability and has nothing to do with that bitch Zhaohua.
