Chapter 564: Rumors About the Princess of Beijang

ng's side. The qing snakes were responsible for guarding outside the courtyard.After making all the arrangements, she and Ding Hua rode one horse each toward the city.At this time, the city gates were...Since An Xuetang had taken the initiative to ask, Yun Si didn't want to hide it either. He cupped his hands and explained:

"Your Highness, this is Eunuch Cao who used to serve the late Empress. Over these years, he has been taking care of the Prince's daily life at the Prince's Mansion. The Prince asked me to bring him here, and from now on, he will personally take care of the Prince."

"I see," An Xuetang nodded slightly, "Alright, the Crown Prince will be even less convenient to move in a few days, so it would be more convenient for Cao Gonggong to take care of him personally."

As for this person's background, An Xuetang and Feng Ming didn't have much to say. The two continued walking forward, while Yun Si continued leading Cao Gonggong to the prince's courtyard.

Walking along, An Xue Tang didn't know what she was thinking about. She suddenly stopped two steps and turned to look at the eunuch's back.

Feng Ming, turning her head as she moved, also glanced at Cao Gonggong's retreating figure. "A Tang, is there something amiss with this person"

"It's nothing," An Xuetang shook her head silently, "Let's go."

Feng Ming raised an eyebrow, he didn't believe there was nothing wrong at all, but since An Xue Tang wouldn't say anything, he didn't continue to ask persistently.

An Xuetang returned to Jingtang Garden. Fu'er and Ning'er had already come back. The two of them bowed to An Xuetang. When An Xuetang saw the smiles on their faces, she instantly beamed:

"Ninger, Fuer, where are you going I've been so bored these past two days, I can't lie. I have to admit, once a habit is formed, it's really hard to break. In just two short days without the both of you, I feel like life has become incredibly dull."

"...."

An Xuetang's words caught Feng Ming off guard, and he suddenly felt a pang of regret. He was grateful that Fu'er had stopped him from killing Ning'er that day.

Otherwise, if A Tang found out that you had killed Ning'er, I'm afraid A Tang would never forgive you for the rest of his life.

Seeing An Xuetang laughing and chatting with the others, Feng Ming said a word to An Xuetang, then returned to his courtyard to rest.

At this time, Mo Yunjing was attending court. He did not participate in the discussions throughout the entire process, only standing quietly with a blank expression. No one knew what he was thinking, and no one dared to bring the topic to him.

Today, the most discussed topic in court is the upcoming arrival of the Xuan Guo envoy. As a rule, when envoys from other countries arrive, the court must select officials in advance to prepare for their reception.

Not to mention that this time the envoy who came was Xuan Guo, whose strength is comparable to that of Tianba Kingdom. In the face of absolute strength, Tianba Kingdom has always been cautious and respectful.

But everyone present knew that the people from Xuan Guo always came to pick a fight. The prince of Xuan Guo was especially arrogant and used to bullying women from good families every time he came, so no minister in the court wanted to greet such a troublemaker.

Furthermore, the Xuan people have high standards for food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. No matter who entertains them, they will ultimately be criticized. As a result, after much discussion, no one was willing to volunteer to take charge of this matter.

As the ministers murmured amongst themselves, Mo Yunze cast a thoughtful glance at Mo Yunjing, who sat to his right.

Seeing Mo Yunjing's indifferent look, Mo Yunze narrowed his eyes, a sinister smile playing at the corner of his lips. He suddenly took two steps forward and bowed, saying:

"Your Majesty, for this matter of receiving the envoys from Xuan Guo, my son has a suitable candidate in mind."

The emperor raised an eyebrow, "Oh Tell me more."

"As the son, I think it would be most appropriate to have my fifth brother handle the reception of these envoys. Firstly, as a prince, he can demonstrate our Tianba Kingdom's high regard for the Xuan Guo envoys."

Secondly, my fifth younger brother's household just welcomed a new legitimate wife. This visit by the Xuan Kingdom envoy presents a perfect opportunity for the Northern Border Princess to showcase her abilities. Otherwise, rumors have been circulating that she is completely ignorant of etiquette and a barbaric woman. This would damage the reputation of our royal family.

"Therefore, in my humble opinion, entrusting the task of receiving the Xuan Kingdom envoys to the Fifth Brother's Northern Frontier Prince's Mansion would be most appropriate. What do you think, Father"

The emperor narrowed his eyes. "Is there truly such talk about the princess of the Northern Border among the people"

Mo Yunze nodded. "Your Majesty, most of the common people do say this is true. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask the officials present, both civil and military. They've all heard it."

At this moment, the emperor's gaze suddenly fell on Zhou You, the Minister of Punishment. "Minister Zhou, is what Fourth Prince said true Is that how the common people evaluate the Princess of Bei Jiang"

Zhou Yu's heart tightened. The emperor's suspicions were truly endless. He had spoken up for Mo Yunchen before, so when the emperor called him out now, it was to see if he was truly on Mo Yunjing's side.

If his speech at this moment leaned towards King Beijiang and Queen Beijiang, he would probably be seen as someone aligned with King Beijiang in the Emperor's eyes.

Having considered the emperor's intentions, Zhou You walked calmly from the queue to the middle of the hall and bowed slightly before speaking:

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince's words are true. I have indeed heard from my wife that since two days ago, rumors have spread among the people that the Princess Consort of Beijang is domineering, willful, and unreasonable."

After Zhou You finished speaking, Mo Yun Jing turned his head and coldly glanced at him. His icy gaze scared Zhou You so much that he quickly buried his head lower, his voice trembling slightly as he explained:

"I beg Your Royal Highness of Beijiang to forgive me. The words I just spoke are merely what the common people have been saying recently. I would never dare to disrespect the Princess Consort."

Mò Yún Jǐng's gaze was cold. Before he could say anything, the emperor spoke first:

"Jinger, since the common people have such deep misunderstandings about the legitimate wife of the Prince of Beijang, why not, as your fourth brother said, have the Prince of Beijang's Mansion be responsible for entertaining the Xuan Guo envoys this time"

The emperor's words immediately caused a stir among the crowd. Jing'er

The emperor actually addressed the King of Beijang so intimately And with the emperor's temperament, he has always been direct and decisive, how could he be so gentle and agreeable with the King of Beijang

Even Mo Yunze was taken aback. His hands gradually tightened, his eyes becoming increasingly dark and sharp. He couldn't figure out what his father truly thought of Mo Yunjing.

Mo Yunjing, the person involved, indeed had a calm expression. He looked coldly at the emperor, "My wife doesn't need to prove anything to anyone, she doesn't need this so-called opportunity."

"Fifth brother, you reject so hastily, are you not afraid that once it spreads, the common people will believe even more that the Princess of Bei Jiang doesn't have the ability to arrange food, lodging and transportation for a mere envoy Doing this only harms the reputation of the Princess of Bei Jiang."

Mo Yunjing turned her head, coldly glancing at Mo Yunze, "Fourth brother, don't you think it's actually you who needs this opportunity to prove your own abilities"

Mo Yunze smiled, “This king would indeed like to. Alas, there isn't a rightful consort in this prince's manor yet. Second brother is injured now, so regardless of the reason, you are the most suitable candidate among us five brothers.”

The emperor looked meaningfully at the two brothers, then slammed his fist on the table and declared, "So it is decided. Pass down my decree: all matters concerning the reception of the Xuan Guo emissary shall be entrusted to the Prince of Bei Jiang."
