The emperor didn't say anything, and the others didn't dare to speak either. They all hoped that Prime Minister Li would speak.
[The tyrant asked them to stay because he wanted to put on a show in front of the King of Yueqing. If I'm not mistaken, the tyrant is waiting for the King of Yueqing.]
[I'm such a genius! Prince Yueqing's jade pendant was taken away. I'm afraid he didn't sleep well last night.]
emperor:"……"
Why are you still bragging about yourself?
He was indeed waiting for Prince Yueqing. Prince Yueqing liked to put on a show, and so did he.
The imperial study was quiet for a moment, and someone came to report that Prince Yueqing had arrived.
Soon, Prince Yueqing was brought in. He bowed and said to the people in the imperial study, "Your Majesty, I have something to discuss. I will step aside for now."
The emperor asked Prince Yueqing to stand up, gave him a seat and said, "Your Highness is not an outsider, so please sit here. I summoned you here today to ask about the jade pendant."
Prince Yueqing didn't expect that the emperor would mention the jade pendant in front of these people. He hadn't figured out how to get the jade pendant back yet.
"Excuse me, my royal brother."
The emperor took out the jade pendant and said, "Last night, you drank with me and insisted on giving me this jade pendant as a token of your loyalty. I thought it was something my father had left for you and didn't intend to accept it, but you kept persuading me to accept it. Otherwise, I would be sorry for your loyalty, my royal brother."
The tyrant has also learned to speak nonsense in a serious manner. The Prince of Yueqing is not stupid. Haha, he must be feeling sick to his stomach right now.
Give him the jade pendant to show your loyalty?
Prince Yueqing's face changed. He was not mentally ill, so how could he give the jade pendant to the emperor?
The Emperor seemed oblivious to Prince Yueqing's displeasure and continued, "I was worried that my brother would wake up without the jade pendant, so I summoned you to the palace."
[You're quite considerate, haha.]
"Brother, this jade pendant..."
Prince Yueqing was interrupted by the Emperor before he could finish his words. "Last night, my brother, you said that only those with ill intentions would need this jade pendant. I understand your loyalty, but you were a little drunk at the time. If you don't want to give it to me now, take it back."
Looking at the jade pendant right in front of him, Prince Yueqing subconsciously wanted to reach out and take it, but the emperor added another sentence.
"I believe in your loyalty, my brother. You have no ill intentions. If you regret it, take the jade pendant back."
After hearing this, Yu Yiluo laughed out loud in her heart.
[No, where did the tyrant learn this tea-talking? You're following the path of the King of Yueqing, leaving him with nowhere to go.]
Prime Minister Li was a little surprised to hear what the emperor said. He had previously suggested that the emperor take back Prince Yueqing's jade pendant, but the emperor directly refused. Now the emperor has figured it out?
Judging from Prince Yueqing's appearance, it doesn't seem like he took the initiative to give the jade pendant to the emperor.
After hearing the emperor's words, Prince Yueqing silently retracted his raised hand and pretended to tidy up his clothes.
If the emperor hadn't said so much, it would have been more credible for him to say that he would give him the jade pendant.
Even though he said he would give it to him, if he really took the jade pendant back, wouldn't it mean that he took it back with ulterior motives?
"Before, some people said that it was inappropriate for the prince to bring the jade pendant into the palace casually. Now that the prince has given the jade pendant to the emperor, these people will definitely stop talking nonsense."
Prime Minister Li was worried that Prince Yueqing would really take the jade pendant back, so he spoke quickly.
When the others saw that he had spoken, they also followed suit and praised King Yueqing.
"Thank you, my Royal Brother. I'm a man of my words. I should have given you this jade pendant when I left for my fiefdom, but I left in a hurry, so I delayed it until this time."
Prince Yueqing said this with a rage, and his heart ached with anger.
Could it be that the emperor has some expert guidance? He used to say whatever he wanted, but now he has learned the tricks of the women in the harem.
"Alright," the Emperor put away the jade pendant and did not forget to give Prince Yueqing a final blow. "In that case, I will summon you to drink with me another day. Now we need to discuss other matters."
[You're not the one who hurts me so much. I'm afraid the Prince of Yueqing won't dare drink anymore.]
[Look at how angry he is, afraid to speak out. I bet his back teeth are broken.]
Prince Yueqing stood up and watched the emperor put away the jade pendant. He felt as if his flesh and blood were being torn apart. He reluctantly looked away until he could no longer see the jade pendant.
"I'll take my leave."
…
Prince Yueqing returned to the palace in anger, and his subordinates knew from his expression that things were definitely not going well.
So after the tea was served, I didn't dare ask any more questions and just walked to the side quietly.
"Damn it." Prince Yueqing raised his hand and punched the table hard to vent his anger.
But it's of no use.
He gave him the jade pendant, what bullshit is that.
The emperor must have taken it from him while he was drunk, and he said it so righteously. He had clearly promised his father that he would take good care of him, but he treated him like this.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
Prince Yueqing glared at his subordinates, then stood up and went to Shen Yu's yard.
When Shen Yu was thinking about how to get out, she heard footsteps and quickly returned to her silly look.
Prince Yueqing actually wanted to vent his anger on Shen Yu, but he stopped at the door.
Mrs. Yao will inevitably send someone to see Shen Yu. If he beats Shen Yu, he will probably be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Prince Yueqing turned around and returned to his study.
"Why is Meng You's progress so slow? Let him come and see me."
He hadn't heard any good news in so many days, and instead was filled with anger. He really wanted to chop off the emperor's head right now.
…
In fact, not only the King of Yueqing was anxious, but Meng You was also anxious.
Judging from the Sixth Princess's attitude towards him, he thought that he would soon be able to get a date with the Sixth Princess, but there was no movement from the Sixth Princess.
While he was hesitating whether to go find the Sixth Princess, Yang Jin walked in with a smile.
"Brother Meng, there's a girl outside looking for you."
Now the two of them have no jobs and can only live in an inn.
Meng You thanked him after hearing this, raised his hand to straighten his clothes before walking out.
"Mr. Meng, my young lady is waiting for you at the restaurant. Let me come and call you over."
The maidservant beside the Sixth Princess walked up to Meng You and said.
Meng You was a little disappointed that he didn't see the Sixth Princess. He thought it was the Sixth Princess who was looking for him, but she only sent a maid.
At this time, the Sixth Princess took the Fourth Prince to the restaurant.
She originally wanted to call the Fifth Princess, but she met the Fourth Prince halfway and dragged him over.
"Are you up to something?"
The Fourth Prince stared at the Sixth Princess and suddenly said that he would take her to the restaurant for dinner. He must have been holding it in for a long time.
The Sixth Princess rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "What can I possibly do to you? You have no money and no friends. I just wanted to bring you out for dinner."
With the fourth prince, a foodie, here, let's see how she tricks Meng You and Prince Yueqing.
If you still want to plot against her, you can just dream on.
The two of them went upstairs and asked for a private room.
The Fourth Prince's hand had healed. He poured a cup of tea and held it, asking uncertainly.
"Sixth sister, are you okay today? I eat a lot and I like to pack it up."
My grandfather really liked the dishes I brought back last time. When paired with a little wine, he could sneak out to play when he was drunk.
So he plans to continue this time.
