"No, Your Majesty, how can I apologize to a lowly commoner?" Situ Xianjing said unwillingly, "I am a believer who summons gods, and if the Azure Wolf Star God knew, he would absolutely not allow it!"
“Your Majesty, it was clearly this child who insulted me first. She should be the one apologizing,” Situ Xianjing said angrily to Xiao Wanwan.
"ah--"
Before Situ Xianjing could finish speaking, Tianfeng flew up and bit the hand that Situ Xianjing had just pointed at Xiao Wanwan.
Blood gushed out instantly, splattering onto her red and white wedding dress. The shocking sight of blood stung Situ Xianjing's eyes.
"You dare bite this princess?" Ignoring the shocked look in the eyes of the Azure Wolf Emperor, her face contorted with rage, she wished she could devour him alive.
Tianfeng shrank back into Xiao Wanwan's arms in fear, trembling with dread.
'My god, this woman is terrifying.'
'When she gets angry, she's like a she-wolf!'
Xiao Wanwan reached out her little hand and patted Tianfeng's head, saying in a childish voice, "Bad woman, you are a bad woman. You not only tried to drive us away, but you also cursed at us and said you would hit me."
“We came in after saying auspicious words, we’re not here to eat and drink for free. The brothers outside all said it was the head of the family’s decision.”
"My older brother said we can't be dishonest, and we have to listen to our elders..."
Situ Xianjing was already displeased with being scolded by the Canglang Emperor, and now she was being lectured by a three-year-old child. Her face was already losing its composure.
She shouted angrily, "Your Majesty, have her beaten to death immediately!"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone around gasped and held their breath.
They sat in their seats with their heads down, not daring to even touch their chopsticks.
"Situ Xianjing, how dare you!"
"Gentle and kind, virtuous and prudent, I bestow upon you the title of Princess, hoping that you will treat others with courtesy and be virtuous and benevolent."
"Instead of using the title of princess to put pressure on the people everywhere!"
"Since you do not cherish your status as a princess, then I will revoke your title. I believe your father would agree if he knew what you did today!"
Situ Xianjing had never seen the Azure Wolf Emperor so serious before.
She panicked and tried to defend herself, "Your Majesty, no, I was just speaking on your behalf..."
"Your Majesty, she changed your surname for you," Xiao Wanwan added, seemingly unafraid of death.
By the time Xiao Rui'an covered her mouth, it was too late.
The Azure Wolf Emperor paused, "Change surname?"
Does this child know something?
Emperor Canglang was already wary of the Situ family, but since they could summon gods, he had no choice but to turn a blind eye to them for the sake of Canglang Kingdom.
However, if the Situ family's behind-the-scenes maneuvering truly exceeds his expectations, he will not spare them.
“She has a dragon robe in her mansion, which is even more beautiful than the one you’re wearing.”
Xiao Wanwan bit her little finger and repeated to Canglang Emperor every single word that Tianfeng had told her.
As soon as he said that...
The entire venue fell into a deathly silence, with only the whistling wind in their ears. All of the hundred or so people in the venue knelt on the ground in fear.
Situ Xianjing's eyes were filled with panic, her whole body trembled uncontrollably, and she stammered, "Your Majesty... please don't listen to... listen to this child's... nonsense."
"Father was... utterly loyal to you..."
Xiao Wanwan said quickly, "That's right, as for loyalty, there's also an underground palace, a miniature version of your main hall!"
"He didn't steal the big ones; he built them himself!"
The Azure Wolf Emperor's eyes shone brightly as he slowly turned his head in shock to carefully examine the child before him.
The baby was born fair-skinned and chubby, holding an animal that was hard to tell whether it was a chicken or a bird, with a grain of rice still stuck to the corner of its mouth.
Her little mouth was moving, making smacking noises.
"Guards, prepare the carriage for the Prime Minister's residence. Today is the Prime Minister's daughter's wedding, and he will surely be reluctant to part with her."
"As the matchmaker for this bestowed marriage, I should go and take a look!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Upon seeing this, Situ Xianjing's pupils dilated, and she turned to glare at the maid Suona beside her.
Sona understood immediately and walked out of the crowd.
"Anyone who dares to step in front of me will be killed without mercy!"
Sona paused, stiffly pulling back.
The common people and officials who were originally enjoying the feast, now have no mood for it at all.
After casually munching on a couple of bites of food, they left the Duke's mansion, praising their meal.
The most shocked person was none other than Duke Zhuang, who was already dissatisfied with the marriage and stood there at a loss.
Treason?
Traitor?
How could he possibly be related to someone like that?
He winked at his son, and Zhuang Chengze understood and followed.
Situ Xianjing was not idle either. She followed behind Canglang Emperor and tried to explain, but Canglang Emperor simply did not listen to anything she said.
And so, after leaving the Duke's mansion, the group headed straight for the Prime Minister's residence.
Yao Qianshu and Xiao Wanwan followed suit, one pulling Xiao Rui'an and the other pulling Shi Zai Ren, and they also headed straight for it.
If Prime Minister Situ knew at this moment that the person he offended yesterday was someone of great importance, he certainly wouldn't have acted so rashly.
But it was all too late...
"Where is Prime Minister Situ?"
Without notifying anyone, the Azure Wolf Emperor entered the Situ Mansion and stood in the front hall, asking with a dignified expression.
The gatekeeper's legs had long since gone weak.
His Majesty's arrival without prior notice is a momentous occasion.
"Your Majesty, I... do not know."
The Azure Wolf Emperor swept a fierce gaze over, and the maid standing at the door went weak in the knees and knelt down with a thud.
"The Prime Minister is in his study."
"lead the way!"
