Chapter 275 Handing over the Imperial Seal to Prince Changle
The eldest princess was completely infuriated by the two of them, and her roar echoed throughout the palace.
"Grandma, what you said is wrong. From my perspective, it seems that you are the one who is always causing trouble for us."
"Brother, you can marry whoever you like. Father hasn't said anything yet. It's not right for you, a princess who has already married into the Fang family, to make irresponsible remarks here, right?"
"By the way, my grandson's words have no intention of teaching an elder a lesson. I just want to remind my aunt not to make a fool of herself in front of the whole court."
Li Tianzhuo could not only confront the eldest princess, but also say all the words she wanted to use to fight back against them.
Say her lines and leave her speechless.
When she brought up the civil and military officials present in the court, the princess's face turned red with shame.
All the ministers present lowered their heads and did not even dare to look at them.
The eldest princess, who had originally wanted to cause trouble for them, could no longer sit still.
I’m already this old, but Lao Liu still talks about me like this!
Fang Yiluo beside her was also very angry and questioned Li Tianzhuo dissatisfiedly:
"Sixth cousin, there is something behind your words. What does it mean?"
"My grandmother is just worried that my eldest cousin's new wife has a bad family background and will lead him astray. Sixth cousin, there's no need to be so sarcastic, right?"
"Thank goodness my grandmother had such good intentions, but when my sixth cousin spoke, her sincerity was trampled upon. It seems my grandmother was meddling in other people's business!"
Although Fang Yiluo had to always maintain the dignity and elegance of a lady from a noble family, she was willing to do it for her grandmother.
Li Tianzhuo followed her words and muttered softly, "You still know that you are meddling in other people's business?"
He spoke in a very low voice, and the Princess and the others couldn't hear clearly, but Fang Yiluo, who was not far away from him, could hear it.
She was stunned.
After returning from Dongji, her sixth cousin's personality had changed so much that she could hardly recognize him.
His tongue is as sharp as a sword and he never gives in even when he is right!
If I really married him, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to withstand even a single word from him, right?
Although Deng Youning was just watching the fun the whole time and staying out of it, she was thinking about what Yi Wang had just said in her heart.
Since the eldest princess did everything she could to break up the couple, could it be that the affair between Emperor Nanxin and Empress Dowager Dongji was also related to her?
"Hey, what did I miss?"
“So lively?!”
At this moment, the weak voice of Emperor Nan Xin came from outside the palace.
He finally came. If he didn't show up, his two sons would fight with his aunt!
Everyone saluted him.
He obviously knew that the eldest princess would come today, and he was not too surprised to see her.
"Emperor, you are finally here. If you hadn't come, your two good sons would have eaten me!"
The eldest princess was busy complaining.
"My grandson doesn't dare."
King Yi bowed respectfully.
"My grandson wouldn't dare either."
Li Tianzhuo also followed suit and became obedient.
"Auntie, you're joking. You're an elder, don't bother with the kids."
Emperor Nan Xin sat in his seat, and after briefly calming the eldest princess, he signaled that the meal could begin.
Countless palace maids and eunuchs carried plates of exquisite dishes and served them with graceful steps.
Deng Youning looked at the dishes and felt that the banquet was quite good.
Yi Wang and Deng Xuelian also enjoyed their meal very much.
It seemed that no one cared about the eldest princess anymore.
"A Zhuo, I shouldn't be interfering in your Nan Xin's family affairs, but I always feel that this lady is not here with good intentions. You and King Yi must be extra careful and vigilant."
Deng Youning whispered to Li Tianzhuo about the eldest princess.
Li Tianzhuo pretended not to understand and asked, "What exactly is wrong with it?"
Deng Youning: "I think she is most likely aiming for the throne, or the position of queen!"
Having said this, her eyes fell on Fang Yiluo.
Coincidentally, Fang Yiluo was also looking towards them.
Li Tianzhuo followed Deng Youning's gaze and obviously noticed Fang Yiluo as well.
What he was thinking was similar to what Deng Youning was thinking.
"The dishes in our Nanxin Imperial Kitchen are not as good as those made by Ying'er, but the taste of this mango pastry is very unique. Come on."
Li Tianzhuo personally took a piece of cake and fed it to Deng Youning.
Deng Youning glanced at Fang Yiluo and took a bite.
The outer skin is very crispy, and the mango filling inside is sweet and full of fruity flavor.
It’s really good.
Deng Youning was enjoying the meal and her eyes were sparkling as she looked at Li Tianzhuo.
Li Tianzhuo smiled at her lovingly.
Seeing a piece of puff pastry on the corner of her mouth, he kissed her without hesitation and put the puff pastry into his mouth.
This unexpected kiss startled Deng Youning.
This is a palace banquet, in front of so many people!
Her face turned red instantly and she looked at Li Tianzhuo in disbelief.
Li Tianzhuo licked his lips disapprovingly and murmured, "So sweet!"
Of course, except Deng Youning, everyone who saw this scene was shocked.
As expected, he is the King of Changle who has always been unruly!
Emperor Nan Xin sighed, feeling very disappointed with his friend.
The eldest princess glared at Deng Youning and Li Tianzhuo with shock and disgust.
Fang Yiluo's heart paused, and the naive girl also blushed along with them.
Yi Wang and Deng Xuelian had a look of being used to it, with no reaction at all.
The ministers, eunuchs, and palace maids around them all felt shy and clicked their tongues.
Yuan Gu’s fist was almost broken!
He also secretly swore in his heart that he would snatch Deng Youning away from King Changle!
Fortunately, Min Nanqiu, who was of low status, was sitting at the back and did not see it, otherwise he would have fainted on the spot.
Li Tianzhuo's kiss was like a dragonfly touching the water, fleeting.
"Azhuo, you are so brave!"
Deng Youning patted his arm shyly.
Li Tianzhuo grabbed her hand directly, held it tightly, placed it on his chest, and said mischievously:
"If I wasn't brave enough, how could I have chased you for two lifetimes?"
He smiled gently, and the love for Deng Youning in his eyes was as turbulent as the sea, difficult to control.
“Ahem~”
Emperor Nan Xin coughed twice, probably to attract the attention of everyone present.
At this time, the banquet was halfway through.
Everyone was drinking and talking happily, eating and drinking to their heart's content.
Emperor Nan Xin stood up and said to everyone, "I have invited you all to come here today. I believe you have already guessed the reason."
"I have been feeling increasingly unwell these days. The position of crown prince of Nanxin has been vacant for a long time. I have six sons, and at the moment, the sixth son, Tian'er, is the most suitable."
"Today, I will hand over this imperial seal to Prince Changle."
"But, before I run out of energy, I still need to test King Changle more. If he gets annoyed and confused, I will not forgive him!"
Eunuch Cai has also presented the imperial seal.
Li Tianzhuo was a little flattered. What Prince Yi said was right. The emperor's banquet today was really to announce to the world that he would be made the crown prince.
"Tian'er, come forward."
Emperor Nan Xin asked Li Tianzhuo to come over and take the imperial seal.
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on Li Tianzhuo.
This star that everyone is paying attention to.
Before standing up, he did not forget to glance at Deng Youning.
Deng Youning just smiled at him lightly, as if giving him strength.
This smile was like armor to Li Tianzhuo, making him fearless.
He stood up, flicked his sleeves, and strode forward.
