Chapter 496: The Imperial Concubine Is Pure and Elegant (Two Hundred and Twenty-Six)

Without even looking up, the man said, "Xicheng, you're getting impatient. Be patient. When the time comes, we'll naturally break into the palace."

Princess Xicheng rubbed her brows and sighed, "How can I not be anxious? I can't stand the thought of Qi Baoping, that loser, sitting on the throne. Although my father was increasingly absurd in the past, he also understood the mind of an emperor and would not use the treasury's funds carelessly. He checked and controlled the court officials and kept power firmly in his hands. He is nothing like Qi Baoping. The Great Qi Empire will be destroyed in his hands!"

The man could tell Xicheng was defending his father, and he couldn't help but sneer, "What's the difference between these two brothers? Neither is a good emperor, a good husband, or a good father. They're cruel and inhumane, and they love to be lazy."

Princess Xicheng wanted to refute, but when she thought about her father's every move, it seemed that none of them had ever been competent.

Not to mention her royal brothers who were killing each other, nor the fact that her father intended to marry her to the Ji Kingdom when he was alive, just look at this royal brother in front of her. He has been living in exile since he was a child and has suffered so much. Isn't all this thanks to her father?

Princess Xicheng was the old emperor's favorite daughter. Her biological mother was just a palace maid. What made her stand out from many princesses was that she had a pair of eyes that resembled the late Empress Nian.

Although Princess Xicheng had never seen the late queen, she knew that after the late queen passed away, the prince disappeared and the entire Nian family was executed, which was a tragic story.

Her father quickly appointed a new queen, but did not reappoint a crown prince. Firstly, he wanted to maintain a balance between the concubines and the court, and secondly, he felt that these sons were not as good as the original crown prince, so he looked down on them.

Princess Xicheng's childhood was not easy. Her mother, a mere noble lady, lacked the emperor's favor and was often ill, causing her to be bullied by the other princes and princesses. After her mother died of a serious illness, Xicheng's life became even more difficult. She was left in the care of a nanny by the second empress.

Xicheng was always unhappy when she was young because no one loved her. But one day she met the emperor by chance. The emperor looked into her eyes and did not speak for a quarter of an hour. After that, he asked Princess Xicheng to move to the palace and visited her often.

Two months later, the emperor registered Princess Xicheng under the name of the late queen, making her the sister of Crown Prince Qi Yu and the legitimate princess of Da Qi, and awarded Xicheng as her fiefdom.

Princess Xicheng had no idea why her father suddenly cared about her and doted on her, so she asked her father directly. The emperor looked at Xicheng and said wistfully, "Your eyes are very similar to your mother's, so crystal clear and bright. I haven't dreamed of her in many years. I feel guilty towards Yu'er and Yueru."

Princess Xicheng finally understood that her father treated her well because he wanted to make her feel at ease, not because he had a fatherly heart for her, so she was very grateful to the late queen. After her father's death, when her brothers were fighting for the throne, she thought that her brother, the crown prince Qi Yu, was the most qualified to succeed him. Unfortunately, her brother did not show up.

When Qi Baoping slaughtered the palace, he left behind the most favored princess, Xicheng. Although she survived, she felt very depressed in the palace. She was extremely terrified after stabbing Qi Baoping. To avoid being tortured, she dismissed the palace servants and set fire to the palace. She thought she was going to die, but she was unexpectedly saved!

Xicheng didn’t know how much his eyes resembled his mother’s, he only knew that his eyes were very similar to his brother’s.

Those similar eyes made Xicheng identify the man holding the prince's token as his own royal brother Qi Yu as soon as he saw him.

Xicheng was very happy to follow her royal brother to fight in all directions. Life in the military camp was very enjoyable and much more meaningful than being confined in the palace.

After a month of rest, the rebel army set out towards Anding City, the capital of Da Qi.
