Panic, Li Wei

As Li Yuyue watched Emperor Beichen's indifferent behavior, her eyes filled with anger.

She had never realized that Emperor Beichen could be so indifferent. Could it be that Baili Hongzhuang truly possessed such charm? After being with Baili Hongzhuang, he rejected the temptation of all other women.

Her gaze shifted, and Li Yuyue couldn't help but look towards Baili Hongzhuang.

Baili Hongzhuang's lips curved into a mocking smile as she looked contemptuously at Li Yuyue. From the moment Li Yuyue provocatively approached her, it was destined for Li Yuyue to bring humiliation upon herself.

"Baili Hongzhuang, don't get too arrogant!" Li Yuyue said coldly.

Baili Hongzhuang raised an eyebrow, her smile still playful. "Li Yuyue, since you're so concerned about my affairs, rest assured, I will make sure to propose this matter to the Crown Prince when he arrives."

Hearing Baili Hongzhuang's words, Li Yuyue's face turned even more unsightly. A bad premonition started to arise in her heart.

Could it be... that Baili Hongzhuang was planning to use the same tactics on her?

The thought sent a shiver down Li Yuyue's spine. The Crown Prince hadn't taken her as his wife yet, so how could she allow the enchanting Mioling to be given to the Crown Prince?

"Baili Hongzhuang, don't even think about it. It's impossible!" Li Yuyue said fiercely.

Baili Hongzhuang shrugged indifferently, her expression full of indifference.

Seeing Baili Hongzhuang's attitude, Li Yuyue's mind raced. No matter what, she couldn't let Baili Hongzhuang retaliate against her using the same tactics.

Li Yuyue immediately turned around and pulled Mioling away. She had to send Mioling out of the palace before the Crown Prince arrived!

However, just at that moment, the voice of a eunuch rang out.

"The Emperor has arrived! The Empress has arrived! The Crown Prince has arrived!"

The sharp voice caused Li Yuyue to pause in her steps, and a sense of panic emerged in her heart. The civil and military officials also stood up one after another, respectfully bowing to the Emperor and the others.

The Emperor, Empress, and the Crown Prince took their seats on the main high platform under the gaze of everyone. The Emperor and Empress sat in the center, while Xuanyuan Huan sat slightly to the side.

"Greetings to the Emperor, Empress, and Crown Prince!" Everyone said respectfully.

"No need for formalities."

A gentle smile appeared on Xuanyuan Huan's face, but that aura of majesty still unconsciously emanated from him, lowering the atmosphere in the entire hall.

"Today is a banquet held to celebrate the return of the Crown Prince, Prince Beichen, and the Princess Consort from Canglan Academy. I hope all the ministers will enjoy themselves."

Xuanyuan Huan's gaze couldn't help but fall on Emperor Beichen, who was on the left side. After half a year, seeing Emperor Beichen again, he felt a tremor in his heart.

Although Emperor Beichen's appearance hadn't changed much from before, the shining light in his eyes was completely different, vaguely revealing a confidence and momentum that was unmatched, just like those extraordinary geniuses he had seen before.

Now, facing Emperor Beichen again, he felt a sense of awe in his heart.

As they listened to Xuanyuan Huan's words, the ministers couldn't help but feel puzzled. At a time like this, it would be enough to celebrate the Crown Prince's return, so why were Prince Beichen and the Princess Consort included?

Although Prince Beichen and the Princess Consort were now students at Canglan Academy, their status in the imperial city was not that great.

One was a waste of the General's Manor, a former abandoned Crown Princess, and the other was a rumored illegitimate child, constantly subject to ridicule.

Why did the Emperor suddenly change his attitude today?
