She knelt before Dongfang Hao, looking at him with a pitiful expression and said, "Emperor Brother, please, do not marry Ling'er off to that Prince Haotian, okay?"
"Oh, it seems Ling'er is going to marry someone else?"
"No, Emperor Brother, Ling'er will never marry. Ling'er wants to stay in the palace forever, accompanying Mother and Emperor Brother."
Upon hearing her words, Luo Bingbing, lying on the soft couch, couldn't help but think to herself, "Hmph, your calculations are quite good, but I just can't stand you. If you don't want to marry, then I will make sure you do."
"Nonsense. Men should marry and women should be given in marriage. Ask your Sister-in-law; if she says you don't need to marry, then I will rescind my decree."
Although Eastern Spirit hated Luo Bingbing at that moment, she had no other way. To persuade Dongfang Hao to take back his decree, she knelt beside that Little One.
She said to Luo Bingbing, "Consort Xiao, could you please speak on behalf of Ling'er? Ling'er doesn't want to marry so far away."
Luo Bingbing didn't even glance at Eastern Spirit on the ground and coldly replied, "What? Does the Spirit Princess want the Emperor to be a man of his word?"
"Ling'er wouldn't dare."
"If you wouldn't dare, then do you intend to defy the imperial edict?"
At that moment, after listening for a while outside, the Empress Dowager walked in and said to Eastern Spirit, "Ling'er, everyone is doing this for your own good! Please stop being so willful."
"For my own good? Fine, you will regret this." With that, she quickly ran out.
Seeing that Eastern Spirit had already run out, the Empress Dowager hurriedly instructed a nearby palace maid, "Hurry up and bring the princess back! If anything happens to her outside, I will hold you accountable."
As soon as she finished speaking, several palace maids behind her rushed out to chase after Eastern Spirit.
The Empress Dowager glanced at Dongfang Hao and Luo Bingbing and couldn't help but frown slightly.
This is the reason! It is because that Little One has been lying on the soft couch the whole time, showing no intention of getting up to pay her respects.
"As the mother of a nation, look at yourself. Do you still have the demeanor of a national mother?" Empress Dowager couldn't help but scold.
"Then tell me, where is the lack of demeanor?"
At this moment, Empress Dowager's Personal Maid stepped forward and said, "Empress, since Empress Dowager arrived at this Phoenix Palace, you have not once paid your respects or greeted Empress Dowager."
"Oh, but for me to pay her respects seems against tradition, and she is not worthy of it!" Little One replied lightly.
Upon hearing her words, Empress Dowager was extremely furious and glared fiercely at Luo Bingbing, saying, "What? You actually say that paying respects to me is against tradition and that I am not worthy?"
At this point, she turned to Dongfang Hao and said, "Emperor, this is your good Empress. Look at what she has said."
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Bingbing stood up and walked in front of her, pulling out a jade pendant from her bosom and waving it right in front of Empress Dowager's eyes.
Seeing the jade pendant, Empress Dowager was naturally astonished. She exclaimed, "This... this jade pendant belongs to the Predecessor Emperor. How did it end up in your hands?"
"Calm down, calm down. What’s there to be surprised about? This was given to me by him!" Luo Bingbing said while pointing towards Dongfang Hao.
After hearing her words, Empress Dowager couldn't help but shout at Dongfang Hao, "What? Emperor, you actually gave her something that belonged to the Predecessor Emperor?"
"What? Am I not allowed to handle my own belongings as the Emperor of the Silver Moon Kingdom?" Dongfang Hao replied coldly.
"You... you all. Good, good, good. Truly a good son of the Predecessor Emperor." Empress Dowager repeated "good" three times, looking quite furious.
"Thank you for the compliment," Luo Bingbing said with a mindset that was infuriating yet carefree.
Now, Empress Dowager was even more enraged. With a huff, she stormed out of Luo Bingbing's Phoenix Palace.
As soon as she left, Dongfang Hao turned to the gatekeeper, Mo Xuan, and said, "Mo Xuan, go arrange for someone to keep a close watch on the princess. There must be no mistakes."
"Yes, I will make arrangements immediately." With that, he took his leave from Dongfang Hao and Luo Bingbing.
Seeing Mo Xuan, Luo Bingbing suddenly remembered her Nursemaid. So she said to Dongfang Hao, "Dongfang Hao, when are you going to send my Nursemaid back? I have already fulfilled my promise."
After hearing the Little One's words, Dongfang Hao walked over to her side and asked, "What's wrong? Do you miss your Nursemaid?"
"So what if I do? Is there a problem?"
"Not at all. Since you miss your Nursemaid, I will have someone bring her back right now."
After saying this, Dongfang Hao left Phoenix Palace and returned to his own Dragon Blossom Palace. He then fired a signal flare into the sky.
Needless to say, it was the signal flare for Asura Gate.
Since Dongfang Hao began preparing for the grand wedding, he had instructed Mu Xi not to enter the palace at night; he decided to drop his disguise.
Thus, during this time, Mu Xi had been practicing and recuperating in the Asura Gate's stronghold in Silver City, enjoying himself immensely!
Upon seeing Dongfang Hao's signal flare, he immediately made his way to the palace and went straight to Dongfang Hao's chamber.
"Xi, you've come?"
"Yes. What’s going on? You summoned me to the palace in broad daylight."
"It's nothing much. The Little One misses her Nursemaid, so I need you to make a trip back to Asura Gate and bring her Nursemaid here!"
"Ah, is that all? You called me here in broad daylight for this?"
"What's wrong? Do you have any objections?" Having grown accustomed to the catchphrase of the Little One, he replied without thinking.
Mu Xi quickly responded, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. I'll go to the Asura Gate to fetch someone right away, shall I?"
"Yes, hurry up!" Dongfang Hao nodded slightly.
Then, Mu Xi disappeared through the entrance of the hidden door. Seeing that he had left, Dongfang Hao went to the Phoenix Palace to find the Little One.
Although Eastern Spirit was reluctant to marry, she could not escape her fate, nor could she evade Luo Bingbing's grasp.
Thus, three days later, she was married off in a grand ceremony to Ouyang Chen. However, from the moment she was forced into the bridal sedan chair, her heart died, leaving only a deep-seated hatred.
At that moment, she silently vowed that she would use her own strength to destroy the Silver Moon Kingdom that had brought her such despair, especially Luo Bingbing; she wanted to ruin her completely.
That same night, Mu Xi brought the Nursemaid back to the palace.
When Mu Xi returned to the Asura Gate and found the Nursemaid, informing her that the Little One had come back and was about to take her home, the Nursemaid was overjoyed.
However, when the disciples of Asura Gate heard that she was leaving, they were very reluctant. They all hoped that the Nursemaid would stay, but with their Deputy Gate Master present, they dared not say a word to keep her.
Having spent over two years with them, the Nursemaid had developed feelings for Asura Gate and felt a bit reluctant to leave.
But thinking of the Little One made her eager to fly back immediately. Therefore, she wouldn't linger too long at Asura Gate.
Mu Xi led the Nursemaid directly to the courtyard of Phoenix Palace and gestured for her to walk ahead and find the Little One in the main hall before quickly leaving Phoenix Palace to find Dongfang Hao in the Imperial Study.
Although the Nursemaid knew her Little Princess was right there, she stood frozen at the door.
Having been apart for so long, she didn't know what to say when she finally saw the Little One.
Suddenly, the door of the main hall opened from the inside, and a palace maid appeared. Upon seeing the Nursemaid standing at the entrance, she asked, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
"I..." Just as Nursemaid was unsure how to respond, a clear and youthful voice came from within.
"Xiaoyu, please let her in."
"Yes, Your Highness." After saying this, she gestured for Nursemaid to enter with her.
Hearing that longed-for voice, Nursemaid felt a surge of emotions and nearly stumbled while walking.
When Nursemaid reached Luo Bingbing, she hurried to her side and asked, "Little Princess, you..." As she spoke, tears began to flow.
Seeing Nursemaid cry, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but think, "Here we go again; this Nursemaid really is made of water!"
Though she thought this way, she understood that Nursemaid was crying out of pity for her, so she didn't harbor any dislike towards her.
"Nursemaid, how have you been these past two years?" Luo Bingbing asked slowly.
Upon hearing Luo Bingbing's question, Nursemaid's tears finally stopped. "I've been well; the people arranged by the Emperor have treated me very kindly."
The two of them were chatting happily here, but it surprised the other palace maids in the grand hall. They couldn't help but think to themselves, "So she's the Empress's Nursemaid! And she's been living under the Emperor's arrangements for these two years."
After learning this news, they all thought about how they should curry favor with her in the future to gain the Empress's favor.
When Mu Xi arrived at the Imperial Study, he directly said to Dongfang Hao, "Senior Brother, I've brought the person back for you; she's at the Phoenix Palace."
"Mm, thank you for your hard work. I've taken too much of your time over these years. From now on, you're free; go wherever you want!"
"What? Senior Brother, are you feeling okay?"
"What's wrong? You always complain about wanting to go Wandering the World, and now that I've set you free, you don't want to leave?"
"Are you serious? You're not joking? You're not teasing me?"
"When have I ever lied to you?" Dongfang Hao said coldly as he looked at Mu Xi.
Seeing the icy gaze from his senior brother, Mu Xi quickly replied, "No, no, I was just kidding. Well then, senior brother, I'm off!"
As he spoke, he began to back away and soon disappeared through the entrance of the hidden door.
"Kid, you sure run fast," Dongfang Hao muttered to himself as he watched Mu Xi vanish.
Afterward, Dongfang Hao also left the Imperial Study and returned to his Dragon Blossom Palace. He knew that Nursemaid had returned and that Luo Bingbing would have much to discuss with her, so he decided not to visit the Phoenix Palace that night.
Time passed quickly in the calm days, and before long, Luo Bingbing had been in the palace for over two months and had explored the entire Silver Moon Kingdom palace, except for a few special places.
The ladies from Prince Luo's Residence, including Su Yan, had long since left and returned to their respective homes.
One day, while Luo Bingbing was admiring the flowers in the Imperial Garden, she suddenly felt a bit bored. Since entering the palace, she had ordered the concubines not to come and pay their respects every day, claiming it disturbed her sleep.
As a result, no one had come to pay her respects, and she hadn't seen any concubines.
Recalling some palace drama she had watched before, she immediately thought of a way to bring herself some amusement: by having those concubines come to pay their respects every day.
So, early the next morning, all the concubines gathered in the hall of the Phoenix Palace.
Since Luo Bingbing had not yet arrived, everyone was chatting and laughing. Meanwhile, Luo Bingbing intentionally delayed her appearance to make them wait.
Half an hour passed, an hour passed, two hours passed; they even sent maidservants to urge her several times, but the figure of that Little One still did not appear before them.
Although they had long heard of the legend of the Little One and felt some fear towards it, they were all high-ranking individuals who had never waited so long for anyone.
As a result, some began to complain, and among them, Consort Mei was their leader, so she was the first to suggest leaving.
As soon as she spoke, the others quickly echoed her sentiment, with only a few remaining quietly seated.
Observing from the shadows, Luo Bingbing noticed this situation and paid special attention to those few individuals, discovering that one of the Talents seemed to be quite deep in thought.
Just as they were about to reach the door, Luo Bingbing suddenly appeared before everyone and coldly said, "Is this how you greet me?"
Upon hearing this, Consort Mei quickly signaled a nearby Noble Person with her eyes, indicating that she should speak up in rebuttal.
Receiving the hint from her gaze, the Noble Person addressed Luo Bingbing, saying, "Sister Empress, I have been waiting here with the other sisters for quite some time. Seeing that you had not come out for a long while, we thought we would first go pay our respects to the Empress Dowager, so we..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the Little One shot her a cold glance, causing her to immediately fall silent.
"Is that so? That reason seems acceptable; however... I do not like it." After saying this, Luo Bingbing shouted towards the door, "Someone, take these disobedient people out and give them twenty heavy lashes."
