The Minister of Hubu embezzled disaster relief funds and resigned in embarrassment. The Crown Prince and Prince Ning fought openly and secretly to send their confidant to the position of Minister.
The cabinet was constrained and the three parties were in a stalemate.
But there is still a pair of hands stirring up the situation behind the scenes.
The eldest princess Xu Rong is delicate and frail, with bones torn apart due to illness. She is the most vulnerable Magnolia in this cannibalistic palace.
But it was just such a seemingly harmless flower that secretly stirred up the entire court.
Cheng Yunshang had heard about Xu Rongyao's reputation when he was at the border. He always thought that this rumored highness should be as stunning, talented and charming as he had seen the noble ladies from the capital.
But when he saw her for the first time outside the Golden Palace, Xu Rongyao was frail and unable to hide her fatigue.
She bumped her head against Cheng Yun, responded without raising her head, and walked around him.
It was Cheng Yun who apologized.
That day it was windy and snowy outside the palace, and the snowflakes fell down like cotton wool.
Her Royal Highness the Princess's plain green cloud-patterned cloak was fluttered by the wind, but she did not stop, like a green branch going up against the trend, disappearing around the corner in the blink of an eye.

The eldest princess's invitation was stopped before it was delivered to General Cheng's desk.
Along with this news, the disrespectful slang of reckless men was also spread to the ears of the eldest princess.
Xu Rongyao lowered her eyes, the newly brewed tea by the stove was cold, and she picked up a piece in the chess game.
"If the chess pieces disobey."
Xu Rongyao let go casually, and Bai Zi fell into the fire.
"Just change it."
Xu Rongyao×Cheng Yun, 1v1
The eldest princess who looks weak but is actually very clever × the little general who is brave and tough but occasionally lacks a brain
Probably a Machiavellian essay
Purpose: People first
