"Your Highness, please speak your mind. I will definitely speak my mind." His aura suddenly weakened. Ever since he found out that Song Xiangsi was different from what he imagined, the Emperor began to reflect.
Especially now that he was in the limelight, he was still a little shy. Sometimes, when he thought back to that day, he felt that it was really too excessive to treat a girl like this.
"Alright, although this is a question I've asked, I still want to know the reason why." Why does the emperor hate me so much? " Song Xiangsi felt that even if the Emperor hadn't said anything, he would've guessed that they had some sort of secret.
"My wife, I'll explain this to you later." Before the Emperor could reply, Meng Huaxuan had already spoken.
However, Song Xiangsi could not understand why he could not say it now. Could there really be a secret?
"It's fine, it's fine to say it now. "The Crown Princess should know Shangguan Xiong, right? He used to whisper about you in my ear, so I …" At this moment, the Emperor revealed a regretful expression.
Song Xiangsi finally understood, so this was Shangguan Xiong's intention. However, the Emperor seemed to be around the same age as Meng Yuan Xuan, and they were all brothers. Could it be that the Emperor was so suspicious of his bros?
Thinking up to this point, Song Xiangsi could not help but feel regret for having wanted to meet the emperor earlier. Fortunately, the first person she knew was Meng Ling Xuan. Otherwise, she might have been angered to death by the people of this world.
"See, isn't the misunderstanding resolved now? Then let's raise our glasses and celebrate. " It was Bai Ruo who broke this awkward moment at the crucial moment.
However, he overlooked one point. These people were eating pastries, and there was no wine either. They were all just tea.
"Alright, then we'll use tea in place of wine. Everything from before shall be written off." Song Xiangsi did not want him to go overboard. He just needed to scare the emperor.
The key point was that the emperor was actually frightened of him. If this were to happen in the modern world in the future, no one would believe him even if he told others about it.
"Alright, I appreciate your courage. I don't believe in the words of that old cunning fox Shangguan Xiong anymore. I only believe in my own eyes. " When he said this, everyone laughed.
After all, his bros were on fairly good terms with his wife, and this made him feel very gratified.
It was as though they had agreed beforehand that no one would bring up the matters of that day. Including the part where Song Xiangsi told Bai Ruo, she didn't tell anyone.
"Oh yeah, since you've moved out, don't you want to ease the relationship with Prince Dingdong's side? Do you need me to help you? " The emperor now knows his identity. In order to make up for his previous mistakes, he offered to help.
Meng Fangxuan shook his head. At the same time, Song Xiangsi said, "Sure."
Bai Ruo and the emperor didn't know whether to laugh or cry from this action. They didn't know what to think either. If one was willing and the other wasn't, then of course they would listen to the imperial concubine.
"What are you thinking? Aren't you listening to your wife?" "At this time, he actually rebelled?" Bai Ruo smiled and teased Meng Ling Xuan. However, she was only joking, she didn't have the slightest intention of ridiculing him.
"That's right, no matter what my wife says, it's all good." "Since my wife asked the emperor to mediate for her, then I'll have to trouble you, your majesty." Originally, Meng Ling Xuan had shook his head because he was worried about his wife. He knew that she didn't like to beg.
However, everyone was rather surprised by Song Xiangsi's agreement this time. The emperor had only wanted to speak carelessly, but he hadn't expected that he would be held responsible.
"Alright, I will deal with this matter properly." Although he said this, his heart was thinking of how to do it.
Although he was the emperor, it was not appropriate for him to interfere with the matters of the emperor. After all, that was his own uncle, so the emperor had to have a sense of propriety when doing things.
"Thank you, my wife." Meng Ling Xuan must have thought about it. His wife must have agreed to this for his sake, and didn't want him to make things difficult for her and his parents.
Looking at the woman standing beside him, Meng Liangxuan felt that everything was worth it. He was willing to do anything for Song Xiangsi.
"I say, sister-in-law, I heard from the emperor that you danced a song at the princess' birthday banquet that day. I wasn't there that day, when can sister-in-law dance for me again?" This was the first time that Bai Ruo regretted her decision.
Song Xiangsi was someone he was interested in to begin with. He originally wanted to avoid her for the sake of his brother, but he found that he couldn't do it.
"That depends on the opportunity. I usually don't dance very much, so I always have a chance in the future." Song Xiangsi felt a little awkward. Every time she spoke to Bai Ruo, she would be as nervous as ever.
Meng Ling Xuan also saw all of this. Although he didn't know what had happened between the two of them, he must have seen it before. Otherwise, he wouldn't have this subtle feeling.
If his wife wasn't willing to tell him, he wouldn't ask her about it.
"Mm, I understand. "Then I'll go back with the emperor first. It's getting late, we'll meet again in the future." Bai Ruo was very happy today, her face filled with smiles.
Originally, he could have been the first to arrive, but that day, Meng Liangxuan had sent someone to inform him that they would meet again. He didn't say that Meng Liangxuan had moved out.
However, he didn't go for nothing. When he saw Crown Prince and Crown Princess, he said a few words and left.
Of course, she wanted her son, so she asked Bai Ruo to find a way to persuade him to go home. Now that the task had been handed over to the emperor, Bai Ruo wasn't worried.
"You brat, why are you so anxious to pull me out? "You don't know, the crown prince's consort is really secretive. That osmanthus cake is really delicious." Unlike most men, the emperor has an inexorable hobby of eating dessert.
It wasn't that the people at the palace didn't know how to make osmanthus cakes, but none of them were as delicious as the Crown Princess.
"Your Majesty, could it be that just for the sake of eating one mouthful, you want to stay at someone's home and not leave? "You still don't know what time it is for Tian'er, and besides, are you sure it's delicious?" Bai Ruo was a little suspicious of life. She stopped eating after eating just one piece. This was the first time in her life that she had eaten a spicy osed osmanthus cake.
Song Xiangsi probably never would have thought that the osmanthus cake that she prepared for the emperor would actually be eaten by Bai Ruo.
She had thought that the Emperor had eaten something that moved her, which was why her attitude had changed. She didn't know that Bai Ruo had eaten the waffle cake, otherwise she would have been even more flustered.
