This was the right thing for Young Master Ying to do. Not only did it speak Bu Jinghua's heart, it even spoke Long Yan's heart. Was this considered a steward? They were basically teaching these lords a lesson as if they were children. It was fine for someone to pretend to be a fool and a child, but they were all adults, and they were even managed by the steward.
"The fourth prince's consort, these rules weren't set by me. They were set by the empress and approved by the emperor personally so as to better ensure the health and safety of the fourth prince. If you have any doubts about this, you can think about the empress or even what the emperor has said. I, Long Meng, am only loyal to the Empress and the Emperor's orders! " Long Meng had a stern expression on his face, his words not leaving the empress and the emperor's side. Even if the young master was angry, he had no words to refute.
Who are the empress and the emperor? Who would dare to question the rules they set? To find the empress and the emperor to reason? "Hmph …"
The young master looked at her with a profit as he smiled and said, "Hmph, I will go. Since I am the fourth prince's consort, everything in this house should be under my control." The empress and the emperor probably wouldn't object to this.
"As you wish …" Long Meng replied indifferently. He didn't seem worried at all.
"Alright, young masters. We still need to enter the palace. You all, go back with your masters and prepare well!" Long Meng sternly commanded the maidservants. The maidservants immediately followed behind their masters, not daring to show the slightest bit of negligence. It seemed that they had already received a lesson this morning.
Under Long Meng's lead, Bu Jinghua's group of three entered the imperial palace. Once again, Bu Jinghua arrived at the emperor's Golden Cliff Palace. The empress and emperor were already waiting there, smiling merrily as they sat on the dragon and phoenix throne.
As soon as he entered the Golden Crag Hall, Bu Jinghua's eyes never left the two massive amethyst stone pillars … Her small silver iron spear already had cracks on it. If she could exchange it for two small silver spears made of amethyst stone … Wow, what a monster!
Staring at the amethyst stone pillars, Bu Jinghua almost drooled.
"Greetings, Your Majesty! Long live the Empress!" Long Meng, Long Yan, and Young Master Ying all knelt down to greet the Emperor. He hadn't thought that Long Meng would actually be able to enter. From this, it could be seen that his status wasn't ordinary.
"Everyone, rise!" The Emperor smiled as he raised his hand. The four rose to their feet and stood respectfully in the great hall. Long Yan lowered his head and obediently stood there.
"Yan'er, once you're married, you'll grow up. In the future, you won't be as mischievous and playful as before, do you understand?" Dragon Shield smiled as he looked at his son. He looked just like an ordinary father.
"Yan'er understands!" Long Yan lowered his head and nodded his head. That sort of childish seriousness was indeed a bit like underestimating a person.
"Hahaha, that's right, Yan'er. You will be a father very soon after marriage. In the future, you really must set a good example for your child. You absolutely cannot be mischievous or mischievous!" The empress agreed with a smile, looking very happy.
"Father?" However, Long Yan still didn't seem to understand this word. He finally looked up.
"Ahaha!" Yan'er, that's right, you're my father, just like you and your royal father! " The empress explained with a smile, her eyes curving with the aura of a loving mother.
"Father! "Wow …" Immediately, Long Yan's face lit up, that kind of joyous expectation, was as if he was really going to be a father, "I want to be a father, I want to be like the royal father, be a powerful father! Let my children worship me like I worship my royal father … " Long Yan looked forward to a beautiful future, as if he really wanted to be a father.
The meaning behind Long Yan's words was something only he himself understood. He wanted to be like his father, a 'father' that everyone revered.
"Right, just be a father that all the children admire! "Hahaha!" After hearing Long Yan's last sentence, the slight annoyance in Long Yan's heart completely dissipated. Long Yan's words just now seemed to be a bit of a usurper!
It was just an unintentional remark from a fool. There was no special meaning to it.
"Hahaha, Yan'er is able to think like this. She really has grown up!" The empress echoed him, but …
"Yan Er, why is your face …" Only now did the Queen notice the two red marks on Long Yan's face. Those two red marks were like a big X, spanning across Long Yan's entire face and completely negating him.
The Queen anxiously walked down from the Phoenix Seat and came to Long Yan's side. She carefully examined the two whip marks on Long Yan's face, "This, who did this? Who beat you up like this? "That makes sense!" The empress flew into a rage. She was like a mother who cared for her son and would never allow him to be bullied, let alone beat him up like this.
"I …" Long Yan's face darkened and his mouth flattened. He looked aggrieved at the Queen before shifting his aggrieved gaze to Gongzi Ying, who looked as pitiful as a frightened little white rabbit.
He didn't directly say that it was Young Master Ying's doing. Instead, he stared at him with a frightened expression.
"Butler, what is going on?" The emperor also walked down. As he saw the wounds on Long Yan's face, he already had a plan in his heart. He looked at Long Meng with a severe gaze as he asked in a low voice.
"Your majesty, esteemed empress, I believe the fourth prince's consort knows this much better, don't you? The fourth prince's consort?" Long Meng stood there respectfully, his tone was completely different from before.
He really had only placed the Emperor and Empress in his eyes.
At this moment, she felt a little regretful that she had struck Long Yan. She had not only survived, but she had also struck him in the face. What a coincidence that she had entered the palace today and had been seen by the emperor and empress.
Although she was beating up her own husband, she was also his son at the same time. What's more, she really didn't care.
"Zi Ying? "What exactly happened to the wound on Long Yan's face?" Dragon Shield and Empress cast their gazes at Young Master Ying at the same time.
Young Master Ying stood there, his back perspiring profusely.
"Imperial Father, Imperial Mother, I …" What should he say? Young Master Ying smiled sweetly. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he started to narrate, "Actually this is the case. I woke up early to practice the whip art, and since Fourth Master found it interesting, he forced me to teach him. Then, when he wasn't careful …" "Then …" From the corner of his eyes, he stole a glance at Long Yan, only to see that Long Yan was currently looking at him with a slightly surprised and cowardly expression. Then, she fiercely glared at him, causing him to timidly shrink back.
As he stood there, listening to his son's nonsense, a cold smile appeared on his face. Would they believe his words? However, whether she believed him or not had nothing to do with her. She only cared about watching the show.
"Practice with whips?" Is Yan'er really like this? " The dragon shield looked at Long Yan and asked in a deep voice.
"No …" Long Yan wanted to speak the truth, but he didn't expect that Young Master Ying to ruthlessly pull at the corner of his shirt. He used his eyes to threaten him, causing him to flinch once more, and then said, "This matter doesn't matter, only because Yan'er was careless. I hope that Imperial Father and Mother don't blame the main imperial concubine. If you want to blame, blame Yan'er!" Long Yan lowered his head and said in a low voice.
"This …" Since the person in question had already said so, even if they didn't believe him, they wouldn't blame him.
Bu Jinghua stood there, quietly sizing up Long Yan beside him. He still didn't know what kind of heart he had, but didn't he intentionally endure the pain and leave scars on his face? Didn't he purposefully show it to the emperor and empress? As long as he cried and said that it was Gongzi Ying who bullied him and that it was Gongzi Ying who beat him up, the empress would surely stand up for him and scold him.
Feeling Bu Jinghua's measuring gaze, Long Yan silently looked back and gave a faint smile. There was a deeper meaning to this.
"Hahaha, Yan'er, you've really grown up. You now know how to cherish others, not bad, not bad!" As the dragon shield praised Long Yan, it was as if he were a child.
"Mm, Long Yan has grown up. Imperial Mother is very pleased!" "However, Ziying, no matter what, Yan'er is your husband, and she's your god. So, even if you're not worried, you can't let him get hurt, you know?" The empress's words were quite strict. She looked at Young Master Ying Ying and said in a measured voice, "How could she not know the reason? She knew that the emperor must also know. And she was only speaking on his behalf."
Everyone knew that Long Yan was the most beloved son of Dragon Shield. If Long Yan hadn't become a fool, then the position of Crown Prince would have already belonged to him.
"Such a dangerous thing, stop playing in the future, do you understand?" "Yan'er?" The Queen suddenly looked worriedly at Long Yan and solemnly taught him.
"Yan'er understands. Imperial Mother, in the future, Yan'er will not be injured again, and will make Imperial Father and Imperial Mother worry." Long Yan nodded obediently.
"Ziying, Jinghua, I'll leave Yan'er in your care. You two must definitely take care of him wholeheartedly, do you understand?" The empress took out her dignified mother's command, but when her gaze landed on the chubby girl beside her, it froze in shock.
This chubby girl? Who was it? Why are you standing here? She hadn't really noticed this person before. Now that he saw it, he felt that it was even weirder … Where was Bu Jinghua?
"Butler? Who is this? What about the fourth prince's consort? "Where did you go?" Dragon Shield asked in a calm voice. He had seen Bu Jinghua before, and he had a deep impression of her. She was definitely not that fat, could it be that the old man, Bu Batian, wanted to find someone to fool him just because he didn't want to give his granddaughter to anyone? He actually found someone like this.
Wasn't this old fellow looking down on him too much?
