I traveled to the era of female supremacy and became a bad woman

Chapter 143 Birthday Banquet 1

There were many carriages at the gate of the palace.

The ministers entered with their families. Everyone was dressed up carefully for today's holy banquet.

Prime Minister Jiang's carriage and the Royal Guards led the way, attracting everyone's attention.

The carriage stopped, Jiuyi and A Zi opened the door, Bai Mohan got out of the carriage, followed by Feng Zhaoyun.

When the officials and noble ladies present saw this, they all stopped in their tracks.

A noble lady from an official family asked, "Who...who is this?"

Everyone started to discuss. Prime Minister Jiang walked towards Bai Mohan and said, "Your Highness Prince Mo, please follow me."

After hearing the Prime Minister's words, everyone realized that it was actually Prince Mo. However, those who had seen Prince Mo at the welcoming banquet before did not dare to approach him.

They also saw clearly that day that this was not someone who could be easily provoked.

Feng Zhaoyun followed behind Bai Mohan, his eyes occasionally glancing at the guards in the palace.

Feng Yaoyu was indeed on high alert. The number of royal guards increased several times, and the rooftops of each palace were filled with archers, waiting for Feng Zhaoyun to join the game.

Arriving at the main hall of the imperial palace, Bai Mohan sat down in his seat after entering the hall, while Feng Zhaoyun knelt beside him and served him closely.

Jiuyi had already disappeared, leaving only A Zi standing behind him.

Bai Mohan sat down, glanced at Feng Zhaoyun, and then said softly, "Zhao'er, pour me some tea."

After hearing this, Feng Zhaoyun hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Yes, Your Highness." Then he reached out and poured a cup of tea for Bai Mohan and presented it to Bai Mohan.

Bai Mohan did not take it immediately, but after a few minutes, he reached out and held Feng Zhaoyun's hand.

Feng Zhaoyun was very helpless. He raised his eyes and glanced at him secretly, only to see that this person was looking at him with an evil smile on his face.

Feng Zhaoyun whispered again, "Your Highness, please have some tea."

Bai Mohan raised his eyebrows, and suddenly became interested. He held her hand, fed the tea to his mouth, and then took a sip.

Ah Zi watched intently from behind, and had to admit, it was indeed beautiful...

He looked like a romantic prince, attracting everyone around him to watch him secretly.

Feng Zhaoyun withdrew his hand, lowered his head, and stopped looking at him.

Several fearless ladies from official families came to offer him tea, and Bai Mohan responded gently, without any fierce look, as if he had become the possessed body of Bai Jin.

Feng Zhaoyun had stains on her hands from the tea. She looked at Bai Mohan's robe and quietly wiped her hands with his robe while he was dealing with the official lady.

After dealing with the noble ladies of Shang State, Bai Mohan suddenly turned to look at Feng Zhaoyun, stretched out a finger, lifted her head up and made her look directly at him, with a gentle expression.

In a voice only the two of them could hear, he said very gently, "Zhao'er, do you like this dress of mine?"

Feng Zhaoyun was confused by his open and aboveboard actions and did not answer.

Bai Mohan moved closer to her and leaned over to whisper in her ear, "The clothes I wear underneath are even better looking. Zhao'er, do you want to see them?"

Feng Zhaoyun was helpless... and glared at him while no one was paying attention.

Seeing her like this, Bai Mohan chuckled.

At this moment, Zhou Fuhai walked out from beside the Queen.

Zhou Fuhai had not appeared for several days. When the ministers saw him appear, they straightened their clothes and prepared to kneel down to pay homage to the empress.

Zhou Fuhai shouted, "His Majesty has arrived!"

At this time, several eunuchs were carrying a chair. The empress was wearing a hat and sitting on the chair, but her face could not be seen. She was carried in.

Following behind him were Huang Fujun and Feng Yaoyu.

Everyone straightened their appearance and knelt down, "Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

The empress did not say anything. Feng Yaoyu said, "Please stand up, my lords."

Everyone was stunned. How could the Ninth Princess say such a thing? But she still said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Feng Yaoyu sat beside the empress and looked at the people below. On either side sat several imperial sisters, emperors, and envoys from two countries. Further down, the ministers filled the seats.

Feng Yaoyu was wearing a dark red official robe today. This robe was only worn by a princess, but she had already put it on. Her hair was tied up with a gold crown and rubies, looking very luxurious.

Feng Yaoyu knew that the Queen was not awake, but she pretended to lean over to her side, then stood up and said, "Your Majesty has decreed that the banquet begin!"

At this time, a ceremonial officer came out and began the birthday banquet ceremony.

The empress didn't move or say a word throughout the whole process.

Feng Yaoyu sat high and mighty beside the empress, looking down at the officials present as if she were the emperor. When she saw Bai Mohan, she smiled gently at him.

Bai Mohan smiled back, which frightened Feng Yaoyu so much that she shuddered and quickly looked away. This guy's smile was even more terrifying.

The Queen's birthday banquet lasted for half a day. After lunch, it was time for the gift-giving session.

After Huang Fujun and Feng Yaoyu presented their gifts first, members of the royal family came forward to present gifts according to their rank. Then came the envoys from various countries and the first-rank minister of the Shang Kingdom.

The empress didn't say a word throughout the whole process, it was just Feng Yaoyu who spoke for her. To those who didn't know, it was like someone was celebrating Feng Yaoyu's birthday.

After presenting the gift, Feng Yaoyu glanced at Zhou Fuhai.

Zhou Fuhai trembled, then reluctantly took out an imperial edict from a box and presented it to Feng Yaoyu.

Feng Yaoyu stood up, holding the imperial edict in her hand, and said, "Your Majesty has been suffering from a serious illness for many days, unable to speak or attend court to handle state affairs. Furthermore, the Crown Princess Feng Zhaoyun has been murdered several days ago. Reports have arrived from the border that the Crown Princess has passed away."

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked. They began to cry out in grief, "How could Her Royal Highness be like this!......"

Feng Yaoyu's face was filled with grief, and she pretended to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. "This king is also deeply saddened. The country cannot be without a ruler to manage state affairs for a single day. Before His Majesty became seriously ill, he issued an imperial decree. If Your Highness passes away, I will read this imperial decree. Today is His Majesty's birthday banquet, and all officials and envoys from various countries are present. I will read this decree."

After saying this, Feng Yaoyu picked up the imperial edict in her hand and said, "My Lords, please accept my order!"

In the main hall, everyone except the envoys knelt down, including Xiao Yushan and Duke Feng who were standing below them.

Feng Yaoyu: "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that I am afflicted with a serious illness. My will is there, but my strength is lacking. To protect the stability of our country, I must issue this decree of abdication. Ninth Princess Feng Yaoyu is a person of noble character, a role model for all other princesses. I abdicate the throne to her as the new Emperor! I decree this."

After Feng Yaoyu finished reading the imperial edict, no one spoke for a moment. They just looked at each other, and the place suddenly became quiet...

At this time, Prime Minister Jiang glanced at Duke Feng and General Xiao Yushan. Seeing that they were unmoved, she did not say anything.

Minister Gu led his followers to kneel and kowtow, saying loudly, "Long live the emperor! Welcome the new emperor!"

But they found that only their voices were heard, and the other ministers did not speak.

Feng Yaoyu narrowed her eyes slightly. Great! These old immortals actually refused to accept the imperial edict!

Xiao Yushan patted her clothes, snorted, and stood up. Seeing her like this, all the generals stood up.

At this time, Zhuo Yueli, the envoy from the Western Regions, saw this situation and suddenly sneered, "How interesting..." It seems that Feng Yaoyu is not popular in Shang Kingdom. Now that Feng Zhaoyun is dead, there are still people who do not submit to her.

Bai Mohan continued to look at the audience with gentle eyes and did not make any movements.

Duke Feng, Prime Minister Jiang and others also stood up but did not accept the order.

There was a sharp contrast on the scene. All the governors of the states that Feng Zhaoyun had visited stood up and expressed their dissatisfaction with Feng Yaoyu.

Minister Gu was shocked. He seemed to have not expected that the princess was dead. He did not know why these people did not accept the order. So he pointed at them and said, "Why don't you accept the order? Are you going to rebel?"
