After rebirth, Princess Bai Yueguang turned black

"I have been crowned king. If nothing happens, I will not lack food or clothing for the rest of my life."

"Is this your wish?"

"Yes."

"..."

Ying Ning looked him up and down as if he were a fool.

"Don't look at me like that." Gu Changyuan smiled, "Isn't this what you have always hoped for?"

"That's true. But have you given up too?"

"There is no hope anymore."

"Why don't you hate me?" Ying Ning asked.

This Gu Changyuan kept a low profile for several years. With the support of his former chief minister Takahashi, he gradually emerged and finally defeated Gu Yingxun and gained the emperor's attention.

According to the steps in his previous life, he will smoothly take over the position of prince.

However, due to several interferences from Ying Ning, he was not only injured physically, but also forced him to marry Zhang Qiaoqiao, exposed the truth about Hong'er's mother and son, and ousted his former chief assistant Takahashi.

This series of operations made Gu Changyuan's position as the crown prince further and further away.

"As long as you don't hate me, I will never hate you."

He looked at her again with eyes full of tenderness and sadness. Ying Ning felt strange in her heart and couldn't help but wonder whether he had really changed his temper or was doing some other tricks.

She fell silent and stopped talking to him.

Although they were just whispering in low voices, to outsiders, they seemed to be rubbing their hair together and looking intimate.

This makes interested people unable to help but speculate, no wonder Li Yanxing is so affectionate to King Xuan, is it possible that the relationship between King Xuan and Princess Xinhua...

But Princess Xinhua is already the adopted daughter of the emperor. Speaking of which, Prince Xuan and her are brother and sister, and there should be no more personal relationships between them both emotionally and rationally.

Otherwise it would be a disgrace to the royal family.

The emperor would never allow it.

The highlight of the birthday banquet - gift giving, has begun.

In order, starting with the concubines, most of what they presented were handmade works, hand-embroidered dragon robes, quilts, screens and the like.

Maybe they don't hate the value, but it's more about their heart. They have a close relationship with the emperor, and unlike outsiders, it's very suitable to give them these items.

Of course, there are also rich and powerful mothers and concubines who have money and give the emperor some valuable items.

The concubine Ming gave the emperor a hand-embroidered sachet. It was such a small object that it was very inconspicuous even among the concubines.

But the emperor seemed particularly happy, and immediately took off an old sachet from his waist and replaced it with the one given by Concubine Ming.

The queen looked at this scene with disappointment flashing in her eyes.

Ever since she got married at a young age, the sachets the emperor carried were always made by her.

Over the years, it has never stopped.

Now, in front of so many people, the emperor just casually tore off the sachet and threw it aside like a piece of trash.

The queen's heart felt as if it had been crushed by a thousand pounds of weight and was broken inch by inch.

Since the death of their legitimate son Gu Yingxun, the emperor and empress could never go back to their past.

After the concubines presented their gifts, it was the older generation of princes.

Of the old princes, there is only one old seventh uncle left in the world. You, the old uncle, are younger than the emperor, but have a full head of hair and are described as old. Apart from the title of prince, you have no other rights and responsibilities.

has been extremely marginalized.

He tremblingly presented a couplet written by himself to express his birthday wishes.

Everyone knew that this old Uncle Wang lived a miserable life and had never had any sense of existence. Everyone had no objections to this.

Then came the much-anticipated gifts from the princes.

The eldest prince was far away in his fiefdom and could not come due to illness, so a messenger was sent to offer him a box of South Sea pearls.

When the box is opened, the room is filled with brilliance.

The emperor smiled and praised a few words.

Next is the Three Kings Gu Ziyang.
