Chapter 426 The Feast (Part Two)

Luo Qingyan had been wearing a cold face all the time. He didn't say a word from beginning to end as if he was watching an irrelevant farce.

Hearing the empress' words, he raised his head and glanced at the empress. he sneered and said, "are you blaming your majesty for having three thousand women in the imperial household so you can not be the only woman of his majesty?"

Hearing that, the empress' face changed slightly, but in an instant, she put on a smile again. "Why did you say that, Prince rui? I am only admiring your love for your wife, but I also know that it is a crime for women who are jealous and can't tolerate other women of her husband. Of course I didn't mean that."

Prince Jing sneered coldly and retorted, "actually, my wife is not jealous of anyone at all. It's just that I'm so jealous that I don't allow anyone to get any attention from her. I don't want my wife to distract her attention on other things that she can't stay with me all the time. "

When the banquet was quiet for a while, Luo Qingyan's cold voice sounded again, "I'm always having a bad temper. If someone always likes to harass my wife in my mansion, then don't blame me for being rude to you."

The empress was embarrassed by Prince Jing twice. She kept silent for a moment and said, "Your Highness has just arrived at the state of Xia. Don't be so cold to us. Be careful not to frighten the delicate ladies here." Then she added, "Your Majesty, didn't you ask us to have a small competition together? Will you reward the person who wins a lot?"

Xia Huanyu nodded his head with a smile. "The state of Xia has always worship a man who worships the literature, so let's play the flower poem

highness! I didn't mean it! Please forgive me!"

There was a sudden silence at the table. With a "snap", Luo Qingyan's glass was thrown on the table and he looked at the maid with a hostile look. The maid trembled more and more.

Yun Shang saw that the atmosphere was a little cold, so she smiled softly. She turned and helped that maid stand up, "I'm fine. It's not your fault. Did his highness frighten you?"

The maid stood unsteadily, and the empress said slowly, "She should be punished for what she did."

"Your Majesty, it is clear that the sudden order of Prince Jing scared the maid. If the maid were to be punished, his highness would be punished more severely. The maid is innocent." Yun Shang looked up at Luo Qingyan, who sat opposite her with a cold face.

Xia Huanyu pondered for a moment before he said, "it should be a good thing for Prince Rui to return. Since it is a good thing, we should not spoil the atmosphere because of a small thing. Just get the maid out of here."

The maid kowtowed to them and withdrew quickly. Yun Shang's eyes darkened when she looked at the spilled wine on the table.
