Hearing those words that should not have come out, although Old Emperor still had a smile on his face, his eyes did not have a hint of a smile.
The Sixth Marquis of the Chenxi Kingdom, Dongling Liusu, shifted his gaze slightly as he looked at the man dressed in a big red black robe, and then at... Beside him was a young man wearing an official's robe.
The water in the depths of his eyes rippled slightly. Dongling Liusu curled her lips and smiled faintly.
Regardless of which country, their highest authority would not allow royal members to have any special preferences.
Naturally, this special hobby referred to the hobby of breaking one's own sleeve and the good thing about Long Shiyang …
Today was the day of the two empires' meeting, and under the eyes of many, this Seventh Prince was actually befuddled by an official …
What kind of thoughts were these?
He had come from afar to represent the image of a great nation with Chenxi Kingdom, representing Chenxi Kingdom, and this Seventh Prince was the main person who had sent him off this time.
But now, he was acting this way. Could it be …
You want me to see a joke from the Ranqi Imperial Family?
Smiling gently, Dongling Liusu tactfully decided not to speak anymore about pleasantries with Old Emperor, and quietly watched the situation unfold.
Since today was the day of the two empires' meeting, the Sixth Prince was present for Chenxi Kingdom. Old Emperor stared at Shen Hancheng with a gloomy face, but continued to hold it in and did not say anything.
But Princess Xiwei was not so easy to talk to.
She used the silk handkerchief in her hands to cover her slightly curved lips and said: "Seventh Brother, today is an important day for the two empires to meet. Even if you are interested in City Lord Su, you should settle it in private. It was not when Royal Father and the Sixth Prince of Chenxi Kingdom were happily chatting, or when he was flirting with each other. "
"Now the Seventh Brother has said and done... Where is the Sixth Prince supposed to be at, where is the Ranqi in my dynasty, and where is the current Son of Heaven, our Royal Father?! "
The Crown Prince continued, "Mingyue is right. Seventh Brother, your way of doing things is really... "This is too improper!"
Even if he didn't say anything, or even denied it, it didn't affect the people's guesses about him.
Shen Hancheng clearly knew that the people of the imperial family could not have any special tendencies, yet still dared to demonstrate it on the spot on such an important day. This was not only slapping the face of the Old Emperor, it also slapping the faces of the people of Ranqi!
As one of the people involved, Su Jinruo hurriedly kneeled on the ground, bowed his head and cupped his hands: "This humble subject is terrified."
His gaze swept across the empress and Princess Xiwei, and finally landed on the crown prince. He said, "From the crown prince's tone, it sounds like it's time for this king to return to the palace for four years, and have become proper?"
When the crown prince choked, Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng did not even put the current Son of Heaven in his eyes. He did not beg for his gentleness and gentleness, but only begged him to not be so rampant and impudent, looking down on everyone with a smile.
Who cares if he is unruly...
The crown prince said, "But today is the day that I meet the Chenxi Kingdom envoys, could it be that Seventh Brother can't restrain himself either?
Noble Consort Xiang raised her eyebrows. Her beautiful eyes turned slightly as she said: "Seventh Brother is like this, wanting the Sixth Prince to see the jokes of my imperial family so that you won't be able to touch a woman. You, who have been despised since you were young, can live a bit more comfortably.
Seeing her own two children at this time, she did not cover up Shen Hancheng's actions for peace, and left behind the face of the Ranqi royal family.
He still wanted to cause a bigger ruckus. Did he want the world to know that the prince he valued the most was someone with special interests?!
It is said that those who are not of my race will have a different heart. This is the same surname, and there are always scheming and scheming!
Old Emperor's face was dark and gloomy.
The empress smiled.
As the mother of a nation, she was naturally dignified and elegant, unbeatable to others.
The empress had always understood the general situation, so she spoke without hurry, "Mingyue, stop messing around, your Seventh Brother only saw that the atmosphere in the great hall was heavy, it was just a joke with us to adjust the atmosphere in the great hall, which one of us is as serious as you say?!"
Princess Xiwei was about to retort, but was forced back by the Queen's gentle smile.
The Queen looked at the Old Emperor, and laughed: "Your majesty, do not be angry, it was just a child's play, if there is anyone who takes this matter seriously, then it can only be said that they misunderstood. Honored officials, do you think so?!"
The empress's words were neither salty nor light, and her voice was warm and cozy. However, to everyone listening, they knew that the empress was warning them not to spout nonsense!
Prime Minister Su hurriedly greeted the empress with his words. He stood up and bowed respectfully as he replied, "Reporting to the empress, it's a matter of everyone's eyes that the crown prince and prince are making a ruckus. This humble subject doesn't dare to argue."
Everyone followed Prime Minister Su and stood up, respectfully saying to the Old Emperor and Queen, "This subject does not dare to argue rashly."
Seeing that everyone agreed with his words, Old Emperor looked at the empress deeply. He was very satisfied with how she actively protected his dignity.
Old Emperor looked at the people who were bowing, and said, "Everyone, get up."
Everyone sat down again, and only Su Jinruo was still kneeling on the ground. Old Emperor glanced at her, and said to Dongling Liusu with a smile.
"Today is the day of the meeting between the two empires, but my child was pestering me. He did not see the big picture and almost ruined this good day, making the Sixth Prince feel embarrassed."
Dongling Liusu laughed, then said indifferently, "Your Majesty is joking. This king knows what happened just now, and it was just a good show in advance for this king. This king has not misunderstood anything."
The Old Emperor only smiled, but Dongling Liusu continued to speak, "Your majesty, this king has travelled a long distance and is unusually tired. I only want to rest now, and hope that your majesty does not make fun of this king's weak physique.
When the Old Emperor heard this, he hurriedly said, "The Sixth Prince's body is weak, and I have been keeping you here for a while. I have been careless, Crown Prince, send the Sixth Prince to a relay room, you have to ensure his safety."
The Crown Prince stepped forward and said, "This son accepts your orders."
Old Emperor nodded his head and said: "Sixth Prince should rest well. For tomorrow's palace banquet, we must invite you to attend."
Dongling Liusu nodded towards Old Emperor, "This king will take his leave."
With that, Dongling Liusu's wheelchair was pushed forward by the crown prince and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The Queen looked at Su Jinruo who was kneeling on the ground and laughed: "All of you are scaring City Lord Su, even now he is still kneeling on the ground and does not dare to move, get up quickly City Lord Su, Mingyue is unintentional, don't take City Lord seriously."
Su Jinruo looked at the Queen, and then at Old Emperor, and said: "Yes."
Su Jinruo slowly got up, and just as he sat back down, Old Emperor slapped the dragon throne and said angrily: "Princess Xiwei is a woman, and the role model of the princess, yet you do not see the big picture, and have forced yourself out, and ruined the image of the Ranqi woman. In this regard, I have to plunder the Women's Scripture a hundred times, and deduct your salary for three months!"
"Seventh Prince was rude to me, had been disrespectful to me, and had not put my dignity in his eyes, thus committing an unforgivable crime. After the meeting between the two dynasties, Seventh Prince was punished to close his doors and reflect upon it, and his salary was deducted for half a year."
After reaching the inn and exchanging a few pleasantries with the crown prince, Dongling Liusu smiled and watched the crown prince leave.
When he could no longer see the crown prince, one of his personal guards came forward and asked, "Master, do you want to see the wangfei?"
The smile on Dongling Liusu's lips slowly withdrew, as if he was thinking about something.
After a long while, he sighed. "Forget it. Right now, it is not suitable for me to see her, and she is even more unsuitable to see me."
Even if...
His feelings for her had already seeped deep into his bones. He wished that he could grow wings, so he could immediately fly before her eyes and tightly embrace her, to tell her the pain of having a heart full of love.
Available...
The one who was deeply in love was only him, and she only hated him to the bone!
She was afraid that she wanted nothing more than for him to die. She wanted nothing more than for him to turn into ashes. She wanted nothing more than to die …
How was it possible for these two people to meet each other?
Dongling Liusu turned his wheelchair, and his body that was originally facing away from the light slowly became exposed to the light.
He looked out the window of the inn. The sky was so blue, and the sun was so bright. Why …
But his heart … was that desolate?
When Old Emperor spoke, even though she was unwilling, she did not disobey and ignore him like Shen Hancheng had done. She knelt on the ground and begged: "This son will follow Royal Father's teachings, please calm your anger Royal Father."
Unexpectedly, Old Emperor did not respond to her. After waving his dragon robe, he took the lead and left the hall.
Seeing that, the Queen got up, and said to Princess Xiwei: "If you know you're wrong, then go back and think about it, and make a joke of yourself. Mingyue, don't say anymore, Mingyue will remember this in the future."
A joke that can't be played on the stage, you might as well say...
Was he referring to her?
Or was it the Seventh Brother?
Without a doubt, it was the latter.
The empress was indeed dignified and generous. She was in charge of the imperial harem and had instructed those imperial concubines that had received the Old Emperor's favor overnight to serve the Old Emperor well.
Some of the imperial concubines had come over to congratulate her with a smile on their faces, saying that they had Long Si. As such, she smiled and chatted and laughed with the imperial concubines, giving them experience as she sent them precious ingredients to comfort them, telling them to be extra careful and prudent so that they could safely give birth to a healthy prince in Old Emperor.
She was not like the previous empress when it came to a concubine being pregnant due to being pampered. She was extremely jealous, and could be said to be a generous person.
But...
The Queen was magnanimous, but definitely not to the Seventh Brother.
It was only because — — Seventh Brother was the dead son of Consort Ning.
Princess Xiwei lowered his head and smiled, "This son will remember this. Thank you for your teachings, mother."
A welcoming banquet silently closed the curtains.
Do not ask the Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng about his emotions after being punished, for him, these small matters were nothing to talk about.
At that time, he had already slowly returned to the Seventh Prince's Mansion in the expensive carriage.
