Chapter 176: Such a great joy, why hide it?

emperor:……

"Royal sister, if you went to Dong Liao at this time, then the Third Prince of Dong Liao would come to propose marriage. Wouldn't that mean you wouldn't be in Shengjing City?"

The emperor suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise.

"What's wrong with not being in Shengjing? Dong Liao voluntarily gave their prince to me as a concubine. Could it be that a concubine is just a concubine and I still need a sedan chair to marry him? My dear Huo Baobao and Lu Baobao haven't received such treatment. Could it be that our Great Xia still needs the help of Dong Liao?"

emperor:……

Of course not!

How could Daxia be compared with Dongliao? In terms of land area alone, Dongliao is less than a quarter of Daxia, not to mention products and resources.

Otherwise, how could a prince be willing to be a concubine?

The emperor's sister usually

"Okay, sister, as for the person who will escort you, I have a choice in mind."

Paused.

The emperor continued.

"There are ministers coming to discuss matters later. If you don't have anything else to do, please go back first."

Seeing that the matter was settled, Su Yunyao could hardly suppress the corners of her lips. "Ah~~~, Royal brother, you still have things to do, then Royal sister will not disturb you, I will go back first. When you confirm who it is, you must tell me the first time!"

The emperor waved his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Don't worry, sister!"

After Su Yunyao left, Wu Jixiang poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of the emperor.

He asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, do you really agree that the eldest princess should go to Dong Liao at this time?"

"Agree?" The emperor paused, holding the teacup. "Do I agree?"

Paused.

He continued, "I seem to really agree."

The emperor thought more and more that something was wrong. He turned around in surprise and looked up at Wu Jixiang. "How did he promise her this?"

Wu Jixiang: ...

Why did he feel that the emperor was spared by the eldest princess?

Compared with the eldest princess, the emperor is still...

The moment Su Yunyao came out of Xuan Zheng Hall, she couldn't stop smiling!

"Princess, you are smiling without any concealment at all!" The expression on Pearl's face was hard to describe.

"Such a happy event, why hide it?"

The smile on Su Yunyao's face deepened a little.

Pearl was bewildered.

Did the princess like General Huo so much before?

How come she didn't notice it at all!

Su Yunyao reached out and gently pinched Zhenzhu's face. "What are you thinking about? Why are you so lost in thought?"

Pearl's face turned red with embarrassment. "I was just wondering why you were so happy, Princess!"

"I was just thinking about who the emperor might ask to escort me to Dongling Pass."

Pearl raised an eyebrow, "Princess, who is it?"

Su Yunyao leaned over to her ear and whispered a name.

Pearl's eyes widened almost instantly. "Princess, is this true? How did you guess that? How come I didn't understand what the Emperor meant just now?"

As the two were talking, Lu Mingfeng walked over from a distance. Seeing Su Yunyao and Zhenzhu, the master and servant, standing at the door of Xuan Zheng Hall, talking and laughing, he was slightly stunned.

Su Yunyao seemed quite surprised to see him here, "What a coincidence!"

"Greetings, Princess." Lu Mingfeng knelt on one knee and saluted.

"Get up!"

Lu Mingfeng frowned slightly when he saw that she was in a good mood.

The princess usually doesn't like to sleep until noon, so why did she get up so early today?

And it looks like.

The princess seemed to have just come out of Xuan Zheng Hall.

Could it be that the princess had already woken up when he went to court?

"Okay, go in now."

Su Yunyao patted his shoulders twice and left with light steps, seeming to be in a good mood.

Lu Mingfeng looked at her back with a little confusion in silence for a while, then turned and entered the Xuan Zheng Hall.

As Lu Mingfeng stepped into the door of Xuan Zheng Hall, a tea bowl fell directly at his feet and almost hit him on the head.

Lu Mingfeng instinctively took a half step back, his expression serious.

His heart skipped a beat and he had a bad feeling.

Lu Mingfeng knelt on the spot, "Your Majesty."

The emperor snorted coldly, "Lu Mingfeng, do you admit your guilt?"

Lu Mingfeng's brows furrowed even tighter. "Your Majesty, please forgive my ignorance. I don't know what crime I have committed."

The emperor's expression was gloomy and unclear, but there was a strong sense of oppression that made the entire Xuanzheng Hall silent and silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"I heard early this morning that Linglong Pavilion summoned the imperial physician last night. What's the matter?"

Lu Mingfeng's eyes narrowed, "I acknowledge my guilt!"

"snort!"

The emperor snorted coldly, "My sister values ​​you, and this is how you treat her. You only care about your own pleasure and don't care about her health at all?"

Lu Mingfeng's brows were almost twisted into a river.

How could he not care about the princess's health?

He was extremely restrained every time.

I was afraid of making the princess uncomfortable or accidentally hurting her.

Obviously, last night was not like before.

He himself didn't know why the princess suddenly felt anxious.

But no matter what, the eldest princess was not feeling well when she was with him.

Then it must be his fault!

"I will die a thousand times. I know my crime, and Your Majesty will punish me!"

Lu Mingfeng buried his head a little deeper.

"So, you're admitting that last night was all your fault? It was you who caused the Imperial Sister to summon the Imperial Physician late at night?"

"Your Majesty, the princess felt unwell while she was with me. It is naturally my fault. I have no way of refutation."

"Is it because there are other men around my sister that you feel resentful?"

There was a hint of anger on the emperor's face.

Lu Mingfeng's expression was extremely solemn. "Your Majesty, I absolutely do not have any such intentions. I love the princess, so how could I possibly resent her?"

The emperor stared at him in silence.

"Your Majesty, my feelings for the eldest princess are obvious to all. I am definitely not the kind of despicable person who would hurt the eldest princess on a whim. If that is the case, I am willing to experience all kinds of punishments in the Dali Temple!" Lu Mingfeng said righteously.

The emperor suddenly smiled, "My dear minister, there is no need to talk about the severity of the various criminal laws of the Dali Temple. As long as you are sincere to my sister, I have nothing to worry about!"

Only then did Lu Mingfeng slowly breathe a sigh of relief.

He was not afraid of being punished, but he did not want anyone to misunderstand his feelings for the eldest princess.

"Oh, right." The emperor pinched his brows, "One more thing. My sister is going to Dongling Pass. Who do you think is the most suitable person to escort her?"

The princess is going to Dongling Pass?

Why has he never heard the eldest princess mention this matter?

Thinking of the eldest princess I saw outside the Xuanzheng Hall just now, her face was full of energy.

Lu Mingfeng felt a pang of pain in his heart, "Your Majesty, I believe that I am the most suitable person to escort the eldest princess."

"You?" The emperor raised his lips, "Why do you think you are the most suitable?"

"Your Majesty, I love the princess so much that I will do my utmost to protect her and prevent her from getting into any mishap." Lu Mingfeng was stunned. "Furthermore, I cannot rest assured that the princess's safety will be in the hands of anyone else."
