Chapter 1124: The Arrogant Prince Cheng'en
Tangbao was naturally very happy to get so many delicious foods.
After thanking the emperor and the concubines, I secretly decided in my heart: I must give the concubines a good manicure tomorrow.
After all, they even paid the fee in advance, right?
As for the Emperor—
How about... a snake and insect repellent purse?
Anyway, I made a purse for my little brother, and there is another one...
Tang Bao was just thinking about it when she saw Eunuch Liu hurriedly walk to Emperor Tianxi and whispered a few words.
Emperor Tianxi's expression changed.
All the courtiers sitting in the front are shrewd people.
When it comes to observing people's words and expressions, he has reached the pinnacle of cultivation.
At this moment, seeing the emperor's face change, their hearts began to beat fast, wondering what big thing had happened.
Emperor Tianxi waved his hand and Eunuch Liu retreated.
Emperor Tianxi looked at Xuanyuan Jin calmly.
Then, he swept over the four concubines.
Finally, he looked at Tang Bao.
"Fuya, I heard that you made purses for several ladies yourself?" Emperor Tianxi said with a smile.
Tang Bao quickly stood up and said, "In reply to the emperor, my embroidery is just passable. The ladies have always been kind to me, and I have no way to repay them, so I embroidered a few purses myself as a gift to them."
Emperor: "...So, I've treated Fu Ya poorly?"
Tang Bao: “…”
Why does the emperor's tone sound a bit resentful?
"Of course not! The emperor has always been kind to me, and I am extremely grateful! I am willing to sacrifice my life for you!" Tang Bao said sincerely and righteously.
Emperor Tianxi waved his hand and said, "You are just a little girl, so it doesn't matter if you sacrifice your life for her. As long as you are filial, that's all that matters."
Emperor Tianxi deliberately emphasized the word "filial piety".
Tang Bao: "...Yes, Your Majesty."
Emperor Tianxi nodded with satisfaction.
The ministers were confused by what they heard.
Tang Bao looked thoughtful.
"Hahaha... little miracle doctor!" King Cheng'en picked up the wine glass and laughed a few times out of habit before saying anything. "This king offers a toast to the little miracle doctor!"
Tang Bao quickly picked up the fruit wine on the table and said, "Your Highness, please."
"Hahaha...Okay! I'll drink first as a sign of respect. Little doctor, please feel free to do as you please!"
After King Cheng'en finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Tang Bao took a sip delicately.
Because Prince Cheng'en is older in seniority, he sits very close to the front.
On his left and right sat members of the royal family.
"Twelfth brother, what's wrong with you today?" asked an old prince.
As soon as the old prince finished speaking, the others immediately echoed him.
Prince Cheng'en glared, but the corners of his mouth were still upturned.
"Can't I be happy?"
"Sure! Why not?" someone said, "You're so happy you're going crazy. Who's going to hold you back?"
"That's right! It's only because the Emperor and the Empress Dowager are so generous that they don't bother with you. Otherwise, do you think you can still sit here and drink?"
"You look like you want us to ask you something. Now, if you don't tell me, you're like you're possessed..."
The royal relatives nearby spoke up and joined together to attack King Cheng'en.
King Cheng'en was not angry, he just grinned.
It's like saying: Ask now, I won't tell you!
Seeing him like this, everyone was speechless.
As the banquet continued, people gradually relaxed.
Since it is spring hunting, we naturally have to talk about some things related to hunting.
Of course, the civil officials who were not good at riding and shooting were not included, as they came to accompany the emperor on his outing.
The generals were all beaming with joy and talking about it, eager to show off their skills and win the first place.
Especially when they are drunk, they are full of energy and heroic spirit.
Emperor Tianxi was also in high spirits and started to make chicken soup.
"My dear ministers, tomorrow we will be hunting in spring. I hope you will all demonstrate your abilities and bravery to demonstrate the prestige of Great Yan..."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Prince Cheng'en immediately stood up and apologized, "Your Majesty, hahahaha... I can't participate in the horseback riding and hunting this time. I will accompany Your Majesty. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me!"
Emperor Tianxi: “…”
Why does Prince Cheng'en look like he deserves a beating?
If you are confessing your crime, why are you grinning?
Besides, with your skills, who would expect you to participate?
Even if you participate, you are not qualified to be with me!
"Is Uncle Wang feeling unwell?" asked Emperor Tianxi.
Prince Cheng'en waved his hand and said with a beaming expression, "No, I'm in good health, very strong, hahahaha... I just can't kill, can't create karma, and want to accumulate blessings for my son, hahahaha..."
Emperor Tianxi: “…”
The corners of his mouth twitched.
I feel like I would be doing King Cheng'en a disservice if I don't punish him.
wrong!
Emperor Tianxi figured out what was going on.
I couldn't help but look at King Cheng'en and then at Tangbao.
So, this is intentional showing off...
Emperor Tianxi figured it out, but some members of the royal family still hadn't figured it out.
"Your Highness, you sound like you have a son." Someone said meaningfully, "Could it be that you dreamed of having a son?"
"Speaking of which, the fact that Prince Cheng'en has no children is a serious matter," said a member of the Xuanyuan clan. "He should have adopted a son from within the clan early on to carry on the family line..."
"That's right... Anyway, the twelfth prince can't give birth to a son..."
"Who said I can't have a son?!" King Cheng'en roared, "You're plotting against my title and property, wanting me to adopt a kid. Am I stupid?! Let me tell you, my son will be born soon! Hahahaha..."
King Cheng'en raised his head and laughed, being very arrogant.
Everyone: “…”
Are you thinking about your son and the devil?
The Empress Dowager asked happily, "So, is there a woman in the mansion who is pregnant?"
Prince Cheng'en grinned and said with a smile, "In reply to the Imperial Sister-in-law, the court physician took Concubine Liu's pulse this morning and found out she was pregnant! Hahahaha..."
Originally, a woman should not speak out about her pregnancy until she is three months pregnant and the fetus is not yet firmly established.
That's why King Cheng'en looked like he wanted others to ask, but he didn't want to say it, trying hard to hold it in.
But now, I really can't hold it in anymore.
In fact, when he heard the news from the court doctor, he wanted to run around the capital shouting.
So that everyone knows that he, the prince with no descendants, has a son!
As for why it is a son?
He thinks he is his son!
The old monk said that he was destined to have a son!
When the opportunity comes, my son will come!
The little miracle doctor is his chance, so the baby in Concubine Liu’s belly must be a son!
Everyone looked at King Cheng'en, who was smiling proudly, with shock on their faces.
This actually happened?
For a moment, many people looked at King Cheng'en, and then looked at Tang Bao in unison.
At the beginning, King Cheng'en's act of carrying a bundle of firewood to apologize was known to everyone.
Many people knew that King Cheng'en did that in order to invite a young doctor to treat the people in his mansion.
Especially the families of the imperial concubines and others in the palace, they are all keeping their eyes on Prince Cheng'en's Palace.
After hearing what King Cheng'en said, the families of the concubines in the palace all felt their hearts beating faster.
It was as if I could see the bright future of my own daughter marrying into the palace, pregnant with a prince...
