Chapter 1210: Maybe He Deserves a Beating
The kitchen moved very quickly. Before long, a group of eunuchs and palace maids came in, carrying plates of exquisite dishes in their hands. Lu Xingwan felt her appetite increase just by smelling the fragrance.
Although this meal was served in the cold Longsheng Palace, it was inexplicably warm.
Wanwan didn't even care about the Emperor of Chu's feelings. She just focused on her own and ate with relish.
She didn't even notice that the Great Chu Emperor had put down his bowl and chopsticks at some point. He just looked at his happy daughter in front of him with eyes full of doting, and the smile spread unconsciously.
"It is my blessing to have you as my daughter."
This time when he spoke to Wanwan, he did not call himself "Zhen" in front of Wanwan, but said the word "I" naturally.
But neither of them noticed this subtle change.
Just when the father and daughter were enjoying this rare warmth, Eunuch Meng walked in from outside again with a troubled look on his face.
Lu Xingwan looked up and found it funny to see Eunuch Meng looking uneasy.
It seems that someone else is coming to see the emperor, and it is someone who makes Eunuch Meng feel a little embarrassed.
When she came to see her father before, Eunuch Meng blocked her outside. He must have had the same embarrassed look on his face, right?
Seeing him like this, the Great Chu Emperor was rarely angry. He knocked on the table lightly, and the table made a dull sound. Eunuch Meng knelt on the ground hurriedly.
The Great Chu Emperor spoke coldly: "You are doing a better job now. You don't learn from the good things, but just imitate your master and speak hesitantly."
"If you have anything, just tell me!"
Because of Lu Xingwan's presence, the Great Chu Emperor finally lowered his tone.
Since he was already angry, how could Eunuch Meng dare to say anything more?
He spoke tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the Seventh Princess and the Seventh Prince are here. They said they want to pay their respects to Your Majesty. They are waiting outside now. Does Your Majesty want to see them?"
The reason why Eunuch Meng was so hesitant was because he knew that since Princess Yong'an returned to the palace, there had always been some discord between the Seventh Princess and Princess Yong'an.
Of course, he knew a little about the trivial matters in the palace.
So he knew that the reason why the Seventh Princess treated Princess Yong'an like this was because the Seventh Princess was in love with Duke Anguo, and Duke Anguo treated Princess Yong'an differently from others.
He followed His Majesty and heard from himself that on the day Princess Yong'an returned to the palace, she scolded the Seventh Princess and the Seventh Prince outside the palace.
I heard that the Seventh Prince went to apologize to Princess Yong'an afterwards, but the Seventh Princess has been targeting Princess Yong'an.
Fortunately, Princess Yong'an was magnanimous and did not discuss these matters with the Seventh Princess. Moreover, most of the time, she deliberately avoided the Seventh Princess.
Therefore, the servants knew that they should try to keep the two princesses from meeting each other as little as possible.
In order to avoid any conflict between the two, the servants would be the ones to suffer in the end.
Your Majesty is aware of all these things.
His Majesty is even aware that the Seventh Princess is in love with the Duke of Anguo.
But judging from His Majesty's attitude, it seems that he has no intention of marrying the Seventh Princess to the Duke of Anguo.
Although these palace maids did not dare to talk about their masters behind their backs, they also had their own ideas.
As for Eunuch Xiao Meng, he also felt that the Seventh Princess was not worthy of Duke Anguo.
To be honest, a talent like Duke Anguo is probably only worthy of the most noble princess of the Great Chu State, Princess Yongan.
The two of them looked like a perfect match.
But from what I see on a daily basis, it seems that Princess Yong'an doesn't have any such thoughts about Duke Anguo.
After all, Princess Yong'an is only twelve years old now. She is just a child and may not have too many thoughts about these things.
In the future, when the princess grows up, maybe she will have feelings for Duke Anguo.
After hearing what Eunuch Meng said, the Emperor of Great Chu turned his head and looked at Lu Xingwan beside him. His gaze lingered on Lu Xingwan's face, but he saw that she just had a calm expression.
The Great Chu Emperor smiled and said, "Well, since they are here, let them in."
After saying this, Eunuch Meng hurriedly left the hall as if he had been pardoned.
Go and summon the Seventh Princess and the Seventh Prince to meet the emperor.
After Eunuch Xiao Meng left, the Emperor of Great Chu looked at Lu Xingwan in front of him with a serious expression.
"When your father leaves the palace, you and your brothers and sisters will live together in the palace. Although you need to get along with them, you don't have to deliberately accommodate them."
"You are my Princess Yong'an, my most honorable princess. If any of them dare to disrespect you, you can punish them according to palace rules."
After saying this, he touched Wanwan's head again and said, "If you were to say it, you should be more domineering."
After hearing what the Great Chu Emperor said, Lu Xingwan's lips curled up into a faint smile, but that smile did not reach his eyes.
"Don't worry, Father. Everyone treats me very well on weekdays, so there won't be any conflicts."
Of course, she lied in saying this.
This smile is nothing but a fake smile.
When she thought that Lu Xingyan would come to her father's palace under the guidance of Eunuch Meng, she felt a bit of a headache.
She really didn't want to confront Lu Xingyan.
She still remembers clearly what happened in the martial arts training ground!
If Lu Xingyan had any thoughts about her again this time and wanted to insult her again, she would not be able to stop her from going to the senior brother's place.
She didn't want to fight anymore.
She'll only behave herself if she's given a good beating.
Just like Lu Xinghui, he deserves a beating.
Lu Xingyan lowered her head and followed Eunuch Meng into the palace. When she raised her head to salute her father, she realized that Lu Xingwan was actually in Longsheng Palace today.
And she actually had her meal here.
Naturally, she was filled with confusion and a bit of embarrassment for a moment.
She blamed Eunuch Xiao Meng for not telling her about this.
Compared to her, the Seventh Prince was much calmer.
In fact, Eunuch Meng had just told them that Princess Yong'an was in the palace.
But Lu Xingyan was so focused on what he was thinking about that he didn't even hear his voice.
The Seventh Prince has actually always been a little afraid of his Ninth Sister.
So when he heard that the ninth sister was in the palace, he subconsciously wanted to pull the seventh sister away, but the seventh sister rejected him without a second thought.
Now that he's here, he just has to be careful.
Lu Xingyan couldn't control her emotions for a moment. Her face instantly turned gloomy, and her heart was filled with jealousy towards Lu Xingwan.
Having been in the palace for so many years, she naturally knew her father's temper.
Normally, the emperor was always serious with children like them. Perhaps he only smiled when he was with the eldest sister.
Not to mention having a meal with them in such a pleasant mood, this was something they could not even imagine.
But now, my father is so special to Lu Xingwan.
