Chapter 334: Adding to the fun
The Empress Dowager and Queen Song disliked her. Whenever they heard that she had entered the palace, they would think of their own disastrous defeat and were so angry that their teeth were itching, but they could do nothing about her.
It's a pity that she is pregnant and can't go to the palace every few days, otherwise she would definitely come to eat for free often, which would make them so angry that they would shorten their lives by ten years.
The emperor asked her to accompany him for dinner. Shen Wan also liked the imperial meal, so she followed the emperor to the imperial study.
By then the imperial kitchen had already delivered the food, and this time there was even more, a variety of exquisite dishes, all delicious and luscious, just looking at them made one's stomach churn.
The seats were the same as last time, but when the emperor sat down, he said, "Don't give me so many vegetables this time."
Shen Wan exclaimed, "Ah," "Doesn't the emperor like to eat vegetables?"
The emperor frowned and asked, "Who told you that I like to eat vegetables?"
Xie Jingyu's heart skipped a beat.
Shen Wan was smart enough not to say it directly, but she glanced at a certain master, but unfortunately, this glance was seen by the emperor.
Then someone got miserable.
He dared to take advantage of the emperor, his father-in-law, and made him eat a meal without meat. He was very courageous.
Just as Xie Jingyu was about to sit down, the emperor said, "Today's memorials have not been approved yet. Go and approve them for me."
Xie Jingyu, “…”
He knew it was no good, but why was he asked to review the memorials?
Is this something he can do for you?
Xie Jingyu said, "Your Majesty, please find something else for me to do. This memorial is of great importance, and I cannot..."
The emperor said, "There's nothing else for you to do. Perform a sword dance to entertain me and Wan'er."
Xie Jingyu, “…”
"I will review the memorial right away."
Being held in the grasp tightly.
Chen Wan didn't dare to persuade the emperor, so she could only think of other ways, "Let's wait until my husband has had lunch with the emperor..."
Although she was angry because Xie Jingyu had cheated her, she did not want to and did not dare to dine with the emperor. Having Xie Jingyu around could give her courage.
The emperor said, "Bring him this plate of vegetables and two steamed buns."
Shen Wan, “…”
Xie Jingyu, “…”
At least there is an extra plate of vegetables than the first time.
A certain gentleman was reading memorials while eating steamed buns.
Shen Wan sat there trembling, answering every question the emperor asked. She didn't dare to pick up any food for the emperor, but she couldn't resist the look from Eunuch An.
Not only did he ask her to pick up food for the emperor, but he also kept his eyes on the vegetables.
Shen Wan, “…”
There was always a feeling that these people were going to put her head into the emperor's hands.
What kind of hatred or grudge is that that makes you want to trick her like this?
But thinking about the fact that the emperor said that he couldn’t give him so many vegetables this time, it seems that it’s okay to give him a little.
Shen Wan then picked up some meat dishes for the emperor and a piece of green vegetables with chopsticks.
A combination of meat and vegetables.
Excellent.
Eunuch An was all smiles, pleased for the imperial physician.
The emperor's tone was gentle, giving Shen Wan the feeling of having dinner with her father. She hadn't eaten with her father for a long time, and she became bolder unconsciously, talking and laughing.
Halfway through lunch, the eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Yuzhang wishes to see you."
Why is Prince Yuzhang here?
"Let him in."
The emperor had already forgotten that Xie Jingyu was still helping him review memorials, and it was too late for Eunuch An to stop him.
However, Eunuch An knew that Prince Yuzhang and Xie Jingyu had a good relationship. Even if he knew, he would not betray the Prince of Jingbei, so he did not dissuade him.
When Prince Yuzhang walked in and saw Xie Jingyu sitting there reviewing memorials, his eyes almost popped out.
Is he blind?
Why is Brother Jingyu helping the Emperor review memorials...
Seeing Xie Jingyu reviewing the memorials, he was so shocked that he couldn't recover. Then he saw Chen Wan accompanying the emperor to have a meal. The emperor picked up some food for Chen Wan.
Prince of Yuzhang, “…”
Did he forget Xie Jingyu's instructions and was still dreaming in his own home?
Prince Yuzhang pinched his thigh.
pain.
My forehead was trembling with pain.
The Prince of Yuzhang stepped forward and saluted the emperor.
The emperor saw his bruised face and frowned, "What's wrong with your face?"
The Prince of Yuzhang entered the palace wearing a mask, but he was not allowed to meet the emperor with a mask, so he came with a bruised face and nose.
In order to make his complaint more effective, he didn't even take medicine.
Prince Yuzhang said, "I was beaten by my father."
The emperor asked, "What trouble have you gotten yourself into again?"
Prince Yuzhang said, "He was beaten innocently..."
The emperor laughed, "Does your father ever wrong you?"
Prince of Yuzhang, “…”
There's no way to file a lawsuit.
But since I'm here, I must get the job done. I can't just get beaten up for no reason.
The Prince of Yuzhang said, "Yesterday, I saw someone on the street using soybeans to plot against the Third Young Master of the Jingbei Palace and the daughter of the Left Prime Minister. I thought he was acting suspiciously, and I accidentally noticed the tattoo on his neck. It looked exactly like the assassin that Brother Jingyu mentioned before, who was going to kill him and the Crown Princess. So I chased him, hoping to catch him. He went into Tianxiang Tower, and I followed him in..."
"My father thought I entered Tianxiang Courtyard to seek pleasure, and without explanation, he beat me up. I tried to explain, but he refused to listen. There is no place for me in the palace anymore. I have no choice but to come to the emperor..."
When the emperor heard that it was the assassin who wanted to kill Shen Wan and Xie Jingyu, his face darkened.
Xie Jingyu came over and said, "Those assassins have tried to kill me and my wife more than once. They are most likely hiding in Tianxiang Tower."
The emperor ordered Xie Jingyu, "Immediately bring people and seal off Tianxiang Tower."
Xie Jingyu said, "Let the Prince of Yuzhang handle this matter. Only if he personally seals off Tianxiang Tower will Prince Teng believe that he was really doing his job yesterday."
The emperor glanced at the Prince of Yuzhang and said, "Alright."
The Prince of Yuzhang accepted the order and withdrew.
Xie Jingyu and Prince Yuzhang went out together.
Prince Yuzhang looked at Xie Jingyu, then at the imperial study, and asked in a low voice, "Is the emperor your biological father?"
Xie Jingyu said, "Don't talk nonsense."
Prince Yuzhang lowered his voice and asked, "He's not your biological father, how dare you help the emperor review memorials?"
One who is not afraid of the emperor being jealous.
One who is not afraid of his subjects plotting rebellion.
Xie Jingyu said, "Can't you see that the emperor treats his wife differently?"
Prince Yuzhang's eyes widened as he blurted out, "No way, you're selling your wife for fame?"
real.
Xie Jingyu was almost choked to death by Prince Yuzhang.
Xie Jingyu gritted his teeth and said, "My wife and the emperor are father and daughter!"
Prince of Yuzhang, “…???”
There was a rumor before that the Crown Princess of Jingbei was not the biological daughter of Duke Dingguo, but wasn’t that debunked?
How could he be the emperor’s biological child?
Wouldn't that mean she's his cousin?
Prince Yuzhang grinned, feeling a little painful.
He patted Xie Jingyu on the shoulder and said, "You have to call me cousin from now on."
Xie Jingyu slapped Prince Yuzhang's hand away in disgust.
"Don't let the assassin escape."
After saying this, the gentleman resigned himself to his fate and went on to review the remaining memorials.
Seeing Xie Jingyu enter the imperial study, Prince Yuzhang also left, but after walking a few steps, the corners of his mouth and eyes twitched even more.
The son-in-law of the emperor cannot hold military power or even real power, let alone help the emperor review memorials.
Is the emperor planning to train Xie Jingyu to usurp the throne?
