Chapter 154 Are you ready to be punished?
"Thank you, Father, for your grace."
The voices of Xiao Ji and Xie Yao interrupted Xiao Ning's confused thoughts.
What followed was the guests' congratulations, and those who were more thoughtful were already thinking about the deeper meaning of His Majesty's action.
Although the prince has a noble position.
However, although he has been an adult for several years, he has never officially held an office in the court. Instead, the former second prince and now the third prince have both entered the court.
Some people had speculated in the past that the Crown Prince might not be liked by His Majesty.
But now it seems...
Xiao Ji didn't care about what others thought. He just stared at his daughter in the emperor's arms.
Daughter, his!
He had been struggling with the name of his daughter for a long time, but he couldn't think of the "best" one. Suddenly...
His naming rights were taken away.
Xie Yao took advantage of the cover of her wide sleeves to stretch out her fingers and gently scratch Xiao Ji's palm.
She hooked her soft fingers around one of Xiao Ji's fingers, but his big hand grabbed her small hand and held it tightly.
Xie Yao didn't break free.
She turned her head and glanced at Xiao Ji with anger. Xiao Ji raised the corners of his lips and secretly squeezed Xie Yao's hand.
His Crown Princess is very considerate and cares about him so much...
His mood instantly improved.
The emperor held Sui Sui in his arms the whole time, and his eyes were full of love and care when he looked at her.
Until the third day of bathing is over.
When the emperor was about to return to the palace, he finally handed Sui Sui back to the wet nurse and said to Xie Yao with a sigh, "The Crown Princess gave birth to a good daughter."
Xie Yao keenly sensed something and lowered her eyes and smiled.
She naturally discovered that the emperor's attitude towards her had changed dramatically...
Just at this moment.
The steward of the Prince's Mansion walked in from outside, holding a letter in his hand, and said loudly: "Your Highness, it's a letter from Master Wufa!"
Instantly, everyone's eyes fell on the letter.
After all, everyone still remembers that it was Master Wufa who predicted the flood in Nanzhou last time.
now……
Xiao Ning's mind was still a mess and she was shocked by these words. She subconsciously looked at Song Wenbo among the guests.
Song Wenbo's face was also filled with astonishment and shock, and his hands under his sleeves subconsciously clenched into fists.
No, that's not the case...
I saw Xiao Ji opened the letter and started reading it.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Song Wenbo's forehead. His heart was in his throat and he cursed Xie Yujiao a thousand times.
If Xie Yujiao hadn't kept him hanging, he wouldn't have...
"Father."
Xiao Ji's voice rang out.
Everyone saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a serious expression on his face and he quickly presented the letter in his hand to the Emperor.
All of a sudden, everyone's heart was lifted...
I'm afraid something has happened.
The emperor took the letter from Xiao Ji, read it... and fell silent.
He raised his eyes and looked at Song Wenbo.
Song Wenbo's face was covered with sweat and his complexion was pale.
At this moment, Song Wenbo only had two words in his mind: It's over...
The incident happened suddenly, and the emperor did not stay any longer. He immediately set off to return to the palace. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and said, "The prince is here too."
The emperor left with several princes and important ministers.
The Prince's Mansion was still bustling as always, after all, the women from various families were still there.
Xie Yao had just given birth, so she didn't stay long and took Zhao Zhao and Sui Sui back to the main courtyard. The guests were entertained by the maids and stewards in the mansion, so she didn't need to worry about it.
"Cousin."
Wei Chan accompanied Xie Yao and said, "Master Wufa predicted the flood in Nanzhou last time. Will it happen this time as well..."
Xie Yao said: "Maybe."
She naturally knew what was written in the letter.
Although the letter was written in the name of Master Wufa, it was a decision made by His Highness after consulting with Master Wufa.
What was written in the letter was about the earth dragon that turned over in Shu in March.
Just look at Song Wenbo’s expression today and you’ll know…she and His Highness guessed right.
She saw clues from Song Wenbo's attitude towards Xie Yujiao, while His Highness saw it from the dynamics of court officials and the situation in the court.
Although your Majesty today cannot be considered a wise ruler throughout history, he does care about the world.
Your Majesty ordered people to prepare a lot of supplies years ago. If you knew the exact time and place, you would not have stayed in the capital.
Today it seems that the bet was right.
…
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The emperor handed the letter to the prime ministers on his left and right, and then circulated it to each court official, and the expressions on their faces became solemn.
Of course, some people are not very surprised.
When Song Wenbo "predicted" this matter earlier, the emperor had already informed several important ministers.
Because of the flood in Nanzhou, the court officials did not doubt the truth of this matter at this moment.
Quickly formulate a plan to deal with this matter.
Now there is still more than a month left, so the main focus is on evacuating the people. Since a lot of arrangements have been made in advance, the discussion is going very fast.
at last.
The emperor looked at Xiao Ji and said, "The Crown Prince will be in charge of this matter, and the Marquis of Zhenbei will assist him."
There was a sudden silence in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Xiao Ji frowned slightly, and Zhenbei Marquis Pei Chen stepped forward and said loudly: "I accept your order."
"Everyone, please leave."
The emperor's eyes passed over the crowd and fell on Song Wenbo, the last one standing. "Song Aiqing, please stay."
Song Wenbo closed his eyes slightly.
Here it comes.
As soon as the door of the Yangxin Palace was closed, he knelt down immediately, "Your Majesty, I am guilty..."
The emperor looked down at Song Wenbo, his tone mixed with emotion, "What crime have you committed, my dear minister?"
Song Wenbo prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to move, and said honestly, "My skills are not good enough to calculate the location in advance. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
silence.
Song Wenbo felt that his legs were almost numb and he could not feel the passage of time.
Finally, the emperor's voice was heard, "It is not easy for you to calculate the time and natural disasters."
"But this kind of thing... I don't want it to happen again." The emperor said in a majestic voice.
Song Wenbo immediately said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Get up." The emperor waved his hand. "My dear minister, you are tired today, so go back and rest."
Song Wenbo left the Yangxin Palace and breathed a sigh of relief.
A cold sweat broke out on his back.
Xie Yujiao, that bitch!
Xie Yujiao said that she had to have him, but she was always on guard against him. If Xie Yujiao hadn't kept him hanging, he wouldn't be so passive today!
It seems...
It's time for him to take the next strong dose!
As soon as Song Wenbo left the palace and got on the carriage, he found someone sitting in the carriage.
The golden dress made her look noble and dignified.
It was Xiao Ning.
Song Wenbo immediately knelt at her feet and carefully held Xiao Ning's raised feet. At her signal, he slowly moved his hands upwards...
But it just touches the calf.
Xiao Ning raised her leg and stepped on Song Wenbo's face. "What happened today?"
Xiao Ning's feet were as smooth as cream. Song Wenbo tilted his head and kissed Xiao Ning's toes. Then he said, "It is my fault for not doing my job well. Please punish me, Your Highness."
Xiao Ning stepped on his face with a little force, almost deforming his face.
A cold light flashed in her eyes as she listened to Song Wenbo's account of the whole incident with a slight gasp.
Then he said slowly: "You are not doing your job well, so you should be punished."
"Are you ready to be punished?"
"My little...puppy."
