Phoenix Reborn: the Prime Minister's Scheming Daughter
After watching Baili Junyi leave, Bai Ruo and Hong Ling carried the two babies over.
Looking at the two babies in bright red clothes, Shen Ninghua couldn’t help but giggle. She then gestured for the two to start their daily activities.
Bai Ruo and Hong Ling carried the two babies five or six steps away from Shen Ninghua and then put them on the ground.
Clapping her hands, Shen Ninghua called out with a smile, “Big Boy! Baby Girl!”
Upon hearing her voice, the two babies fluttered their short legs and hands in Shen Ninghua’s direction. Right now, they weren’t strong enough to prop themselves up to crawl, so they rolled over and lay on their bellies, looked up in their mother’s direction, and struggled to move with all their might.
Despite their young age, the babies’ personalities were a stark resemblance to Shen Ninghua and Baili Junyi. They were both tough and stubborn. If Shen Ninghua did not take the initiative to pick them up, they would struggle on the ground for two hours.
In the end, Bai Ruo and Hong Ling couldn’t take it anymore and each of them carried their Little Masters to Shen Ninghua’s side.
All of a sudden, the two babies were a little confused due to the abrupt change of location. They shook their little heads and looked around. When they saw Shen Ninghua who was close to them, they finally grinned, grabbed Shen Ninghua’s skirt, and began to gnaw on it.
Although Baby Girl was the younger of the twin, she was stronger than her elder brother, and she started teething before him. They were seven months old now, and she had two tiny teeth. Moreover, she had quite a delicate temperament. When her teeth hurt after biting, she pouted and shed tears, making others’ hearts ache for her.
Seeing that she was gnawing so hard, Shen Ninghua quickly bent down and picked Baby Girl up. “Little girl, don’t be naughty. Learn from your brother. How can a girl be so rough and inelegant?”
Bai Ruo and Hong Ling held back their laughter. “Miss, Prefectural Princess is still too young. It’s too early for her to learn etiquette.”
Hearing this, Shen Ninghua chuckled. “You’re right! Haha, Even I, as her mother, forget that she’s still so young.” As she spoke, she picked the baby up and started kissing her, causing her to giggle non-stop.
When Big Boy saw that his mother and his sister were having fun, he was annoyed and rolled himself over to lie flat on the ground like a pancake. Then, he smiled and waited for Shen Ninghua to pick him up.
Shen Ninghua noticed his actions, but this time, she intended to tease him, so she gestured for Bai Ruo with her eyes to ignore him.
After waiting for a long time, Shen Ninghua didn’t pick him up, so he was a little sad. However, he didn’t cry. Instead, he straightened his chubby body and turned over again with a smack. Then, he raised his head to see his mother’s reaction.
Seeing this, Shen Ninghua finally laughed out loud delightfully. Her eyes were full of tenderness and warmth as she looked at her baby, and she could feel her heart melting upon the sight.
Perhaps it was her laughter that encouraged Baby Boy. At this moment, he rolled over twice as he still had the energy. In the end, he was so tired that his chest raised and fell rapidly and he breathed heavily.
Shen Ninghua handed Baby Girl to Bai Ruo, quickly picked up Big Boy, and kissed his tender face. “Oh, my baby is so amazing. You’re a strong man.”
“Ah!”
“Ya!”
After playing with the two babies for two hours, they started to show signs of tiredness, so she let the wet nurses carry them away.
Bai Ruo approached Shen Ninghua with dessert. “Miss, please have some. You haven’t eaten much at breakfast, so you should be hungry now.”
Shen Ninghua glanced at the delicate pastries, but she had no appetite at all. “Put it aside.”
Hesitantly, Bai Ruo gently put down the tray and asked, “Miss, what’s wrong? You seem to have something on your mind.” Only when Shen Ninghua was with the babies would she have genuine and happy smiles on her face. Once Little Masters left, her eyes were filled with a bit of melancholy.
“I’m fine. I want to be alone. You can go down now.”
“Yes, Miss.” Bai Ruo carefully closed the door and waited respectfully at the door.
Shen Ninghua propped her head up with one hand, and her thoughts kept rolling.
After Bu Yunqing passed away, Baili Junyi quickly recovered from his grief. On the surface, he seemed normal, but inside him, he was more determined to get the throne.
In the past, the throne was his goal, but he was not that eager. Nevertheless, Bu Yunqing’s death had cast a shadow in his heart. He had to work hard to become stronger and strive to control everything in his hands. This way, he would not have to push the people he loved to take the risks.
With a soft sigh, Shen Ninghua curled her lips into a bitter smile. “Mother, you have achieved your goal.”
Although Bu Yunqing and Baili Junyi had only known each other for a short period of time, she had unintentionally figured out his character. Her sudden suicide could be regarded as a form of motivation for him.
Shen Ninghua would not stop Baili Junyi. She would help him take care of the things around him and urge him to slow down at the right time so that he could charge forward steadily.
Meanwhile, in the imperial court, everything was as Baili Junyi and Shen Ninghua had expected. After the royal funerals, the officials, especially Third Prince’s faction, immediately set their eyes on Baili Junyi. The Third Prince had already secretly understood Prince An’s plan, and he also had a son as his leverage now. No matter what, he had to firmly grasp the support of the Great Yue Kingdom.
Baili Junyi was the descendant of the Great Yue Kingdom’s imperial family. It could even be said that he was even more intimate than his son to the Great Yue Kingdom’s emperor. Most importantly, he was already an adult and was doted on by His Majesty. It was much easier to support such a prince than to support an infant in swaddling clothes.
Sitting on the throne, Baili Qingcang looked coldly at the kneeling officials. His expression was calm and did not reveal any emotion.
“Royal Prince Yi, what is your opinion on this?”
Baili Junyi turned his head to look at the official who had proposed to impeach him. His eyes flashed with a cold light like a sharp sword, scaring the official until he tensed up nervously and felt a chill down his spine.
“Just now, Lord Zhou said that I am the descendant of another kingdom, and my mother is from another kingdom. He claimed that it is inappropriate for me to occupy a high position as a royal prince with such a status. Father Emperor, had this not been the imperial court, I would have killed my way to Lord Zhou’s house with my sword.”
“What…” Witnessing Baili Junyi’s indifference, many officials shook their heads in dismay. “This is outrageous.”
“How can he be so rude?”
Lord Zhou, whose name was mentioned, was flustered, and he looked at Baili Junyi with a reddish face full of indignation, “Royal Prince Yi, how dare you say such arrogant words in front of His Majesty?! How can you be so contemptuous and threaten the imperial court’s officials!”
Baili Junyi sneered, “Lord Zhou, when you impeached me just now, why didn’t you look up at His Majesty? You impeached me right in front of my Father Emperor. Shouldn’t I kill you for ruining our relationship like this?”
Lord Zhou’s expression changed and he quickly knelt down to beg for forgiveness. “Your Majesty, I didn’t mean it, I swear.”
“Lord Zhou, you change your attitude so quickly. Yes, my mother is from the Great Yue Kingdom, but don’t forget that she is the Great Yue Kingdom’s princess. She comes from a royal family and has a noble status. So what if I’m her son? Are you saying that I’m not Father Emperor’s son? Are you implying that my ancestors were of lowly status?”
Upon his remark, all the chirpy officials immediately stayed silent as if their tongues had been cut off. No one dared to offend the royal descendants. No one dared to insult even the Sixth Prince, whose mother was a palace maid, let alone Baili Junyi, whose mother was the Great Yue Kingdom’s princess.
Baili Junyi looked at the officials around him with a mocking gaze and asserted in a cold voice.
“If you have nothing better to do, please look around with your noble eyes and care about the people. There is a drought in the northwest this year, and a large number of victims are waiting for relief. There are some places in Jiangnan that are flooding, and thousands of people are homeless as we speak. If you have time to study my ancestors, you might as well think about how to make some contributions for the country and the people!”
Many officials who took a neutral position sneered at their colleagues who were scolded by Baili Junyi. These people had not learned their lesson after what happened a while ago. His Majesty had recently eradicated the Crown Prince’s faction and the Zhao Family, who was the Crown Prince’s biggest supporter. It had only been a few days, and some people started to make a scene.
Baili Qingcang finally spoke, “Junyi is right. There are so many victims waiting for your assistance, but here you are, arguing about my son. Why are you so interested in the matters of the royal family?”
“We dare not.”
Baili Qingcang paused for a moment and continued.
“Since you are concerned about my sons, let’s talk about the Crown Prince. All of you have witnessed the incident in Ningkun Palace the other day. Old Lady Feng has verified that Madam Zhao and the Crown Prince are innocent. If you think about it seriously, not only are they innocent, but they have also contributed. Now that the funerals of the Empress and Noble Consort Xian have been completed, it is time to deal with Crown Prince’s matter. What do you think?”
“Well…”
The officials knelt on the ground, not daring to raise their heads, afraid of being called by Baili Qingcang.
Baili Qingcang narrowed his eyes slightly. “Dear Associate Zhou, didn’t you just impeach the Fifth Prince? Tell me, how should we deal with this?”
Lord Zhou, who had just been sharp-tongued, was now stuttering.
“Uh… Your Majesty… In my opinion, this is your family matter. Furthermore, Royal Prince Yi is right. I should pay more attention to the people instead of Your Majesty’s family matters.”
“Hmm? Crown Prince’s deposition is related to the foundation of the country. This is not my family business. Don’t worry. Just state your thoughts.”
Lord Zhou was so anxious that his head was covered in sweat. He knelt on the ground and did not dare to look up. “Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I do not dare to.”
With a cold snort, Baili Qingcang turned to Baili Junyi and asked, “Junyi, what do you think?”
Baili Junyi sneered at the dumbfounded officials around him and quipped, “Father Emperor, I thought of an easy way to deal with this.”
“Oh? An easy way?”
“Yes. The Crown Prince has always been particularly loyal and filial. He is very respectful to Father Emperor and cares for the people. In the Da’an Kingdom, he has a very respectable reputation. Initially, this matter was full of doubts, but fortunately, Old Lady Feng has uncovered the mystery. It turned out that the Crown Prince has been wronged. In that case, we should announce it to the country and restore his damaged reputation.”
“Announcement to the country?” Baili Qingcang frowned slightly and asked.
“That’s right. The Crown Prince sacrificed himself and saved thousands of people, protecting Da’an Kingdom’s safety. Not only was he not rewarded, but he was also punished and grounded. Even his mother was misunderstood and deposed. This is so unfair to him. However, he never complained. I suggest that Father Emperor set up a feast in Chengqian Hall to uphold his reputation!”
Hearing this, all of the officials were astounded, and they only had one thing in their minds.
Royal Prince Yi went crazy!

What he needed to do was to push Baili Junyi out of the court. As long as Baili Junyi had no power in his hands, Prince An would not have any other schemes.Sitting on the throne, Baili Qingcang looked coldly at the kneeling officials. His expression was calm and did not reveal any emotion.
