King Xuan gritted his teeth, his eyes becoming fiercer. "You are quite courageous."
Suddenly, the young eunuch shouted again at the top of his voice: "Your Majesty, come! The Queen, come!"
The hall immediately fell silent, and everyone stood up and saluted: "Welcome Your Majesty, the Queen."
The emperor walked in with a somewhat unsteady gait, but his face was unusually energetic, and there was a hint of joy between his brows. He walked to the dragon throne at the center of the Golden Palace and sat down. "No need for formalities."
The queen also sat down on the phoenix chair. She turned around and looked at Xie Xianyu with a slightly serious expression. How dare he come?
He looked at Xu Wanruo who had recovered beside him and was also surprised. She had recovered without any fuss.
The emperor smiled and said, "The Prince personally organized the Sun Palace Banquet. Thank you for your hard work."
Crown Prince Xiao Meng immediately stood up and said, "It is my duty as a son to worry about your father."
Chen Qinghan sat quietly beside him, not saying anything. How could Xiao Meng have the patience to do all this? She was the one who organized all the palace banquets on Sundays.
King Xuan appointed a crown prince, and Chen Qinghan Ruo became the crown princess.
"I am relieved that you are so virtuous." The emperor nodded with satisfaction.
As he spoke, he looked at Xie Xianyu, who was sitting on the left, and asked, "Xie Xianyu, is he healed?"
Xie Xianyu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am now fully recovered."
"Now that you've recovered, don't stay idle at home. You'll need to assist the Crown Prince in the future."
As soon as these words were spoken, King Xuan sneered inwardly.
Assist? He is not worthy!
Xie Xianyu remained calm and composed, "Yes."
King Xuan was delighted. What if Xie Xianyu returned to the court?
Now that he controls the real power, the whole court follows his lead. Even if Xie Xianyu comes back, he has to look at his face and be humble, which makes it easier for him to humiliate him!
King Xuan was so proud that he lost his composure, but the Queen felt vaguely uneasy in her heart, thinking that Xie Xianyu was "too easy to bully".
The Queen had originally prepared a perfect response plan to prevent Xie Xianyu from biting back in front of the Emperor, but Xie Xianyu not only did not do so, he even took sick leave and went home.
He didn't even publicize Xu Wanruo's injury, only saying that she was ill, without mentioning a single word about her being punished in Fengyi Palace.
How could he be so tolerant?
The emperor coughed twice, felt weak and a little tired, so he asked the prince to take charge and he went back to his bedroom to rest.
Singing and dancing began, the sounds of stringed instruments and the graceful movements of the dancers broke up the slightly stiff atmosphere in the hall. The banquet began, and the court officials toasted each other and exchanged pleasantries, making the atmosphere lively.
Xiao Meng's table was surrounded by people, and a group of court officials were vying to toast him, and even Chen Qinghan was surrounded by people.
Xiao Meng was named the Crown Prince, Chen Qinghan naturally became the Crown Princess, and Jiang Xuejun was named Liang Di. However, everyone knew that in Prince Xuan's Mansion, Jiang Xuejun was obviously the most favored.
Therefore, she was more popular at the table than Chen Qinghan.
Xie Xiangli whispered to Xie Xianyu, "Brother, why don't you go and toast the Crown Prince now and show your goodwill? Perhaps he will show some leniency and resolve some of the rift."
Of course, it was impossible to eliminate the estrangement. If the emperor was not dead yet, the prince would have wanted to kill Xie Xianyu immediately.
But if Xie Xianyu could be made to bow to the prince, the prince would definitely be happy, and he would also be happy.
He also wanted to see what it was like for this arrogant big brother, who had been the center of attention since childhood, to be humble and subservient.
Xie Xianyu didn't look at him, his fingertips rubbing the golden wine cup in his hand. "No need, go ahead. The prince is looking after you, so you should do your best."
Xie Xiangli was slightly stunned, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether he was serious or sarcastic.
Xie Xianyu looked calm and composed, not revealing any emotion at all, so he could never see through his emotions.
Xie Xiangli curled his lips and said, "Then I'll go toast to the prince and help my elder brother with some words of advice."
Xie Xianyu raised the corners of his lips slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
Xie Xiangli stood up and went to the prince.
Su Yan hurried over and whispered to Xie Xianyu, "Everything has been arranged. Shall we start now?"
Xie Xianyu glanced at the prince surrounded by the crowd and said calmly, "That's enough."
"Okay." Su Yan was about to leave.
"etc."
"What's wrong?"
"The Crown Prince's men are probably targeting you. You don't need to show up in person in the future. Let the young eunuch stationed in the palace pass on the message. Now..."
Xie Xianyu paused, then glanced at Li Jingzhao, who was sitting in the chief seat on the right. "Let's go and exchange pleasantries with the Northern Liang Crown Prince."
Su Yan did this for him, so his actions naturally represented Xie Xianyu's thoughts.
"Looking for him?" Su Yan was puzzled. He didn't even recognize him.
"Divert the princelings' attention."
King Xuan is a fool, and the Queen is a little more suspicious than him. Xie Xiangli must be uneasy too. Instead of letting them suspect him in advance, it is better to find something for them to do.
Also find something for Li Jingzhao to do.
Su Yan's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but say, "You are really mean."
He picked up the wine glass and took a sip. When he raised his eyes again, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Su Yan picked up the wine glass and slowly went to find Li Jingzhao.
Xie Xiangli watched the commotion from afar, his expression slightly changed, and he lowered his voice and said to Xiao Meng, "Your Highness, my eldest brother has been acting a bit strangely lately. I suspect he's trying to take advantage of Beiliang Sheng."
"Keep an eye on them! Also, check on the people from Beiliang immediately to prevent them from getting hurt."
"yes."
Suddenly, a young eunuch announced, "Chen family of Yuhang!"
Su Yan's back stiffened, and he tightened his grip on the wine glass, but he didn't turn back.
Chen Qinghan looked up in surprise, only to see her father, mother, and brother walking in together, bowing respectfully to the prince.
