After Hua Lingyi finished speaking, he turned around and bowed respectfully to the princess.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I was late and failed to meet you in time! I'm sorry for humiliating you!"
He Yuqing was surprised to find that the lobby was full of people.
Everyone knew that this young and beautiful woman was actually a princess. They all bowed.
Only He Yuqing and his men were left standing there.
He thought of Hua Lingyi's words again, and was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would use them to make trouble, so he could only salute reluctantly.
I thought to myself, Her Royal Highness the Princess is indeed spoiled.
"Meet the princess!"
Huang Meng was a little reluctant and just stood there. When her father was a local official, she was the most noble daughter in the area.
When other daughters saw her, they all flattered her. When did she need to be polite to others?
Besides, her father is now the Shangshu, a second-rank official.
The emperor is still relying on her father to do things!
Hua Lingyi glared at Huang Meng and said angrily.
"In this world, only the royal family can avoid performing formalities when meeting Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"Why, you ugly girl, are you also a member of the royal family? Or does Mr. Huang want to be the emperor?"
Huang Meng's face darkened. She thought she was pretty, but this rude man actually said she was ugly!
Huang Meng was so angry that her teeth itched. She didn't even want to salute anymore.
He Yuqing was standing aside, frowning as he watched. He suddenly felt that Huang Meng was a little stupid, so he could only quickly pull her back.
Huang Meng saw that He Yuqing looked unhappy and could only bow reluctantly.
"Princess, be safe!" Then he quickly stood up.
The old emperor, who was standing at the corner, twitched his mouth when he heard Hua Lingyi say that Huang Meng's father wanted to be emperor.
I thought to myself, this young man really has no control over what he says!
But listening to it, I felt relieved. He knows how to protect the princess. He is a good guy.
He asked the eunuch Lian beside him, "Whose child is this? He's tall and strong! He looks good! He's very honest!"
Even the eunuch quietly poked his head in and took a few looks.
"It seems to be the second son of Duke Anguo, named Hua Lingyi!"
"He is not good at writing, but his martial arts skills are truly inherited from Duke Anguo, so they are quite amazing!"
"I heard this morning that Duke Anguo wanted him to join the army. It seems that he was planning to serve under the command of Prince Yan. He probably wanted to train him."
The old emperor nodded. "It's enough to learn a little about calligraphy. If you learn too much, you may become a fool!"
His words had a hidden meaning.
Lian Gonggong knew that this was a scolding of He Yuqing, so he responded with a few words.
"This boy is not bad. He should go to King Yan to hone his skills. He will be a fierce general in the future!"
"What a pity! If the princess didn't have to marry, this boy would be a good consort!" sighed the old emperor.
Eunuch Lian nodded repeatedly.
The old emperor looked at He Yuqing again and frowned.
"I think the one who should be trained more is the kid from the He family!"
"He thinks he's the princess's cousin, and his eyes are on the top of his head!"
"You will go and pass on the order later. Ask him to go to King Yan to hone his skills! He should start from a small soldier!"
Eunuch Lian nodded, thinking that this was a disguised way of venting the princess's anger!
"And that Huang Meng! As soon as I saw that he was doing that, I knew that Huang Li was not well educated!"
"If you can't manage your own house, how can you manage the whole world?" the old emperor said quietly. "Let him be a local official and see what happens later!"
Even the eunuch was shocked. Huang Li had only been in office for a month, and he was already dismissed! This was the fastest Shangshu to be demoted in history!
"By the way, since the two families are so compatible, let's demote He Tailiang to an official position! Just make him a county magistrate! Just assign him to any place you like!"
Even the father-in-law wiped his sweat frequently and nodded quickly.
Seeing that the old emperor had no more instructions, he quickly retreated to pass on the emperor's order.
Soon, He Tailiang of the He family received an imperial edict, which sent him to a remote area to be a small county magistrate.
He collapsed directly to the ground.
He worked diligently for so many years and finally became the Minister of Rites, so how come he was suddenly demoted?
He hasn't done anything bad, has he? How could...
He couldn't figure out what went wrong.
So he spent a lot of money to get some information from the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict.
"Well, you too, whether the princess goes to marry or not is none of your business! You can just go around chatting!"
He only told this to his wife! And he asked her to keep it a secret? No outside news!
"Now that's good, your son actually ran to the princess and yelled! And was bumped into by the emperor! He must be fed up with life!"
After saying this, the eunuch snorted coldly and left. Anyway, he knew that the He family would probably never be able to return to the capital in this lifetime!
When he reached the door, he seemed to remember something and said coldly.
"The emperor has issued an oral order that your family members are no longer allowed to enter the palace or see the princess! And don't even think about seeing the King of Yan! Do you understand?"
The last bit of light in Mrs. He's eyes also went out!
Wait until the eunuch leaves.
He Tailiang just let out a roar.
"That rebellious son!"
"Go and find that rebellious son! Send him to the King of Yan's army tonight!"
Mrs. He was startled.
"The child is weak! He can't go! He is a scholar, not a reckless man!"
"Are you trying to disobey the order? The Prince of Yan is going, but he cannot go! Is he more valuable than the Prince of Yan?"
He Tailiang was so angry that his liver ached. He pointed at Mrs. He.
"It's all your fault. You turned him into a nerd! That's why he talks nonsense outside! It's all your fault..." He Tailiang was so angry that his heart ached and he fainted.
Mrs. He started to sob.
"Master, Master, what's wrong with you..."
…
On the other side, Huang Li was still admiring the courtyard he had just moved into. This was a five-courtyard house that only a second-rank official could live in.
He also found someone to buy a lot of flowers, plants and antique furniture, almost spending all his family's savings.
Because he felt that now that he was the Shangshu, welcoming and seeing off guests must be a common occurrence.
It is never good for a house to be too shabby.
Suddenly someone came to report that the eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict had arrived.
He excitedly rushed out to greet him.
"You are honored to be here, Eunuch. I wonder if the emperor can do anything for you?" The smile was so warm.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict had a forced smile on his face.
"You will know when Master Huang hears the imperial edict! Hurry and accept the order!"
Huang Li quickly knelt down with his family, waiting to receive the order.
But after hearing the contents of the imperial edict, he almost fainted.
Like He Tailiang, he also spent a lot of money to get some information from the eunuch.
"Your lady is really amazing! She didn't even bother to greet the princess, and even dared to mock her!"
"If you don't know, you'd think she's a princess!" He changed the subject and said coldly.
"Could it be that Master Huang wants to go a step further and sit in heaven?"
