Villainess Wants To Turn Over A New Leaf

The Civil Service Minister and the Minister of Rites read the imperial decree once more before looking at the girl sitting next to His Majesty.

They heard that Princess Yong An had entered the palace this morning— could it be this girl?

The courtiers merely expressed their ideas and thoughts in governmental affairs and evaded the topic of the Emperor’s wedding to a Princess from the Great Lin Empire. Still, now it was more than apparent that he would make her the Empress of their nation. The Great Lin Empire hadn’t sent a Princess as a concubine; they clearly sent a beauty that was going to be disastrous to the country. She was an enchantress sent to seduce the Emperor, utilising this opportunity to bring down their precious Song Empire!!!

The white-bearded Minister of Rites shivered as he immediately kowtowed and exclaimed, “Your Majesty, the ascension of an Empress is a major matter and it concerns the foundation of the Song Empire. Please rethink your decision, Your Majesty!”

Although the Civil Service Minister did not speak, he also kowtowed in suit.

Song Jinglan’s hand, preoccupied with writing, paused momentarily as he finally looked down.

When the two of them locked eyes with His Majesty’s cold gaze, their hearts trembled. Just as they were about to say something, they saw the corner of his lips curl up while he asked slowly, “Does it look like I intend to discuss this matter with you?”

He was obviously smiling, but there was no warmth in his tone. The Ministers were sweating profusely, but under his ice-cold gaze, they couldn’t utter a word of admonition.

After a while, Song Jinglan smiled, turned his eyes away and continued to review the memorials. There wasn’t the slightest bit of anger in his voice, almost sounding the slightest bit cheerful, “Leaving this matter to the two Ministers, I am very relieved. You two may leave now.”

The two Ministers bowed again with the imperial decree and hurriedly exited the main hall.

Lin Feilu, who listened in on the conversation as she kept silent and pretended to read her novel, wow… he’s so handsome!!!

Sure enough, she played the role and took the script of the troublesome beauty!

The palace servants, who remained silent just now as the Minister of Rites offended His Majesty, were also shocked at the moment. There wasn’t a Consort in the harem for many years. Still, upon arrival, Princess Yong Ann who was wedded in from a foreign land was to immediately bear the throne of the Empress, which completely subverted their perceptions and expectations.

Tingchun and Shixia secretly glanced at each other, both recognising the shock and surprise in each other’s eyes.

It turned out that the Princess really wasn’t lying to them!

His Majesty really favoured her well! In fact, he did it to a point where it was almost too good to be true!

They would be by the Empress’s side from now on, so of course they were honoured; how could they be unhappy?

It wasn’t until night fell that Song Jinglan finally finished approving the memorials and had their meals sent to the Lin An Palace. When the palace attendants served the food to the table, they were all her favourite dishes. After eating a bunch of snacks, Lin Feilu was not that hungry, so she put down her chopsticks after tasting a little of everything.

The palace servants who served them saw His Majesty adding vegetables to her plate and scooping mouthfuls of soup for her. In just one afternoon, the servants had already perfected the art of not reacting to anything that was out of the ordinary.
