The emperor didn't hold back and laughed. It was the kind of smile that came from the bottom of his heart, and there was even a bit of doting in his smile.
My father used to laugh like that when I accidentally did some hilarious things. Of course, this analogy wasn't really suitable for the emperor, but I felt that the emperor's smile was very similar to my father's.
"I originally thought that you would come find me. I didn't expect that you would come first yourself. Moreover, it seems that you have caused quite a sensation. You are really restless." The Emperor spoke slowly.
Her voice was very soft, without the slightest hint of blame.
"I wasn't thinking about how busy your country is, so I didn't feel like looking for you. I thought that I came here first, but I didn't expect that I would still be rejected." I smiled awkwardly and sat on the floor to reply.
By the side, Xiao Yue looked at me in shock. The gazes of the surrounding people were also a little strange. Some of them simply had their mouths wide open as they looked at me and the emperor.
"Stand up, you still want to sit on the ground. You're already a princess, why are you still acting like a little kid." The Emperor held out his hand to me.
The sun's rays coated the emperor's body with a layer of golden light. This scene was similar to what I saw on television before. The female lead was bullied, while the male lead descended from the sky like a peerless hero, extending his hand.
The current Emperor is an angel in my eyes. His whole body is glowing.
I didn't hesitate to directly place my hand in the emperor's palm. With a slight tug, the emperor pulled me up from the ground.
I stood where I was, then dusted myself off and looked down at the people who were still kneeling, staring at me with wide eyes.
"Get up."
Only then did those people stand up shakily. Even though she had a lot of courage, after seeing the emperor, she still restrained herself. When I helped her up from the ground, her hands were trembling a little.
"No way, you're scared like this, aren't you always so bold?" I couldn't help but laugh at her.
"What do you know? This is the emperor! He's someone who can take our lives just because he doesn't like us. I haven't married yet, so I don't want to die! I just thought we were going to play." As she spoke, she patted her chest in fear, calming herself down.
"You said earlier that your relationship with the Emperor was so good, is there a need for us to suffer?" She Yue reprimanded.
"I didn't have the time to say it, and didn't I just take out that jade pendant at the entrance of the palace? I thought you knew about it." I said, embarrassed.
"Was it the princess who scolded your young lady just now?" The Emperor walked in front of Su Su, his eyes filled with fierceness.
"Reporting to the Emperor, it was this servant who was blind and did not know that she was the Princess of Rong. That's why she bumped into the Princess. I hope the Emperor can atone for his sins." Su Su was so scared that he directly collapsed onto the ground, his eyes filled with fear.
"Your majesty, it was for my sake that Su Su was like this. I hope your majesty can be merciful, I am willing to be punished together with Su Su." Qiu Yi followed suit and kneeled down.
Then, she knelt in front of me again, "Princess, since you are so magnanimous, please spare Su Su."
"Why didn't you stop her when she was humiliating us earlier? Now, you know to beg for mercy."
"May I know who this lady is?" The emperor looked at Jiang Yanyue doubtfully.
"Reporting to the Emperor, this subject is Jiang Yanyue. My father is the Minister of Public Administration, Minister Jiang Zhennan." Without a trace of fear, she calmly replied with the demeanor of a Miss Venerable, neither humble nor haughty.
"So you are the famous Miss Jiang in the capital." The Emperor smiled and nodded.
"Why are you guys arguing with them?" the Emperor asked.
I dragged Yanyue over this morning, hoping to pick a few people to prepare for palace feast's show. But when we just arrived, we were stopped by this girl at the entrance, and before we even spoke, she already thought that we were from some palace. She wanted to chase us away, so I got angry and started arguing. I spoke frankly, without a hint of awkwardness or fear.
"Is that what happened?" The emperor looked at the two people kneeling on the ground with a somewhat unsightly expression.
Su Su's face was ashen, obviously frightened, while Qiu Yi started to cover her face and cry, crying her heart out.
"Your majesty, I didn't know it was the princess and Miss Jiang. I thought it was just some random person, but I just wanted to advise them to leave since I couldn't interrupt everyone's training."
I looked at Qiu Yi contemptuously. Initially, I thought that she was a fairy who had transcended the mortal realm but later, I thought that she was probably just a talented girl with a tragic fate.
The two of you didn't seem to be trying to persuade us just now. You were clearly trying to coax us, were there so many people watching? I sneered.
I know very well what kind of person Princess of Rong is, she would not go and target someone for no reason, and I also have heard of Qiu Yi and Su Su's actions in music-shop before. Back then, when Inspector Jiang Nan offered you up, and you played the ancient zither well, I arranged for you to stay in music-shop, but you need to know that we are generous to you, and that does not mean that we are special to you. In our hearts, you are only a zither master of music-shop, that is all. When the Emperor spoke, his voice was ice-cold without a trace of emotion.
"Your majesty." Every extra word from the emperor caused Qiu Yi's face to turn paler. Qiu Yi looked at the emperor with fear and disbelief.
The music-shop Zither Master Qiu Yi disobeys the rules of the palace, being disrespectful to the music-shop musician first, and then charging into the Princess of Rong and the Miss Jiang.
From beginning to end, the emperor didn't even look at Qiu Yi. Qiu Yi no longer cared about her image as she desperately pounced at the emperor's feet and grabbed his clothes. "Your majesty, I was wrong. I was wrong. Please don't chase me out of the palace, your majesty."
Qiu Yi's tearful voice didn't cause the Emperor to feel even the slightest bit of pity. Instead, he frowned and his face was filled with disgust.
"Princess, Princess, please save me. I won't dare to do it again, I'm begging you." The Sword Emperor was indifferent, so he threw himself on top of me and hugged my leg as he prayed.
"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have done it this way." I just said it lightly.
"Men, take us down." The emperor was getting a bit annoyed by her, so he immediately ordered his attendants to follow.
