Chapter 310 Thinking You've Won
When a son succeeds, his father will naturally feel proud.
The happiest person was Mrs. Yan Sanshao.
Her husband is the confidant of the Second Prince and also the favorite nephew of Concubine Yan. As a result, the status of the wife of the Third Young Master Yan has also risen, and she is very much loved by Concubine Yan. At this moment, she is accompanying Concubine Yan.
The Second Prince hunted bears and many wolves, which shows that he is really capable! You should know that most of the people who entered the hunting ground today hunted other animals, not many who hunted wild beasts. But the Second Prince and his group hunted all wild beasts!
The Second Prince was praised by others, and her husband who accompanied her was naturally proud, and she also felt proud!
More importantly, the bet! She no longer had to worry about the bet.
Although she was very confident in the Second Prince from the beginning and felt that he would definitely win, she was still worried.
"Your Majesty! In this case, according to their earlier bet, wouldn't the engagement between the Duke of Liguo's son and the eldest daughter of the Zhao family be void?"
Madam Yan Sanshao deliberately screamed loudly.
The word "again" was used very cleverly! It was clear that they all believed that Zhao Liya and Zhou Hansheng had previously broken off their engagement, but they were just stubbornly insisting that it hadn't happened.
Humph, who are you trying to fool!
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at each other, and the emperor also frowned slightly.
Many people looked at Zhao Xiang. Zhao Xiang was calm and composed, with no other emotions on his face.
Another lady covered her mouth and laughed, "Oh, what should we do? This kind of bet is really, really..."
Madam Yan Sanshao sneered, "Whoever made the promise in the first place shouldn't go back on their word. Breaking one's word is no different from being a beast. Since you've agreed to the bet, you should bear the consequences, no matter what. Otherwise, wouldn't that be too much of a bully? Don't you agree?"
Everyone saw that Imperial Concubine Yan did not scold the wife of Young Master Yan, and they knew that the two sides were not on good terms. If they didn't flatter the Imperial Concubine now, when would they wait? For a while, flattery was everywhere!
"Mrs. Third Young Master Yan's words do make sense. Since you've agreed to the bet, you shouldn't go back on your word."
"Yeah, if you knew it wasn't right, you shouldn't have agreed to it in the first place!"
"That's right!"
"Breaking promises? Doesn't that make you a villain? Only villains break their promises!"
"That's right, such a family is despised by others."
"Ah, it shows how important it is for people to have self-knowledge. Otherwise, in the end, you will make a fool of yourself and no one will sympathize with you."
"That's right, this is what you asked for. You deserve it!"
“.”
Madam Yan Sanshao became increasingly proud and overjoyed, "That's right! It seems that all the ladies are sensible and can see things clearly!"
Concubine Yan waited until everyone had finished mocking her until she coughed and said softly with a smile, "Alright, no more talk. The final outcome of this matter is up to the Emperor. The Second Prince has always been filial and will listen to the Emperor's words. We'll talk about it later."
Madam Yan Sanshao smiled and said, "Your Majesty is kind and gentle, and Your Highness is also a filial son, but some people just can't go back on their words! Otherwise, they shouldn't have made the bet. Since they've made it, there's no reason to refuse to accept the loss! Could it be that they were so sure the bet would go nowhere that they just casually agreed to it? What kind of person is that? Isn't that a mean person?"
Concubine Yan looked at the emperor apologetically and gently scolded the wife of the Third Young Master Yan: "Don't say that again."
However, she did not refute what Mrs. Yan Sanshao said.
The emperor had just dismissed Yan Qi today, and now the wife of the Third Young Master Yan was putting on a smug and unyielding face, which made the emperor feel very uncomfortable.
The imperial concubine is a good person. She has always been kind and considerate, but the people of the Yan family have really gone too far.
In front of him and the imperial concubine, each one of them was more domineering than the other!
If they were not in front of him and the imperial concubine, one could imagine how arrogant they would become.
If Mo'er inherits the throne in the future, won't the Yan family be even more desperate? This is absolutely not allowed!
The emperor suddenly felt a little irritated.
The Second Prince joyfully led his hunting team forward to pay his respects to the Emperor. "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father, and to your Mother! I've had quite a harvest today, and I haven't embarrassed you, Father!"
The emperor still doted on the second prince very much. Seeing the prey laid out on the ground, the little eunuch whispered the results of the count: sixteen wild wolves, one bear, and five wild boars. This result would be particularly impressive no matter where it was placed!
It can be said that we have taken the lead today.
The young eunuch added with a very attentive smile: "Your Highness only brought fifty guards with him."
Such a small number of people hunted so many ferocious beasts. This ability is really extraordinary!
"Okay, okay! Hahahaha! You're worthy of being my son, hahahaha!"
The emperor laughed heartily and all the ministers congratulated him.
Concubine Yan hurriedly ordered the Second Prince to step forward, and said with a loving smile, "My dear boy, if you are hunting, just hunt some ordinary prey. Why do you hunt all these ferocious beasts? It's scary to look at them! What if something goes wrong?"
Those wild boars, each with thick mane, long and sharp fangs, and staring eyes as if they were about to die, are not to be trifled with.
The Second Prince raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Don't worry, Mother. I know my limits! I won't do anything I'm not sure of. I've learned horseback riding and archery from Father for so many years. What are a few ferocious beasts to? As long as Father and Mother are happy, I'll be completely satisfied!"
Concubine Yan smiled even softer and more lovingly: "My son has always been filial, the emperor and I naturally know that!"
The emperor gave face to the imperial concubine and nodded in agreement with a laugh.
Madam Yan Sanshao was also beaming, her lips almost curled up to the sky. After enduring a long while of flattering the Second Prince, she could no longer hold back and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, now that His Highness has returned, shouldn't this bet be successful?"
Everyone looked towards the wife of Young Master Yan Sanshao in unison, feeling speechless.
The Third Young Master's wife's unabashed gloating was clearly written all over her face, and her impatience was truly unmannerly. Even those on the Second Prince's side felt she was being a bit too impatient!
Whether the bet works or not, shouldn't both parties be present to verify the result first?
Of course, they all believed the Second Prince would win! But, the necessary procedures had to be completed, right? He was sure to win anyway, so what was there to be afraid of?
It's really embarrassing to be so anxious and pale at this moment.
The Second Prince felt that this was exactly what he wanted, and he smiled triumphantly, "That's right! This bet will definitely work. Humph, I'm sure to win!"
