Chapter 1172: Prince Mingxuan's fall
Prince Xiao's expression remained unchanged after hearing his subordinate's words.
He was not worried that what he lent out was genuine and what came back was a fake.
Because it is impossible for someone to forge such a masterpiece in just a few days.
Not to mention whether it can be drawn, the drawing paper alone cannot be faked.
What's more, who has the ability to make a painting that has been passed down for thousands of years look real?
Prince Xiao didn't know that some of his cognitions would often be refreshed.
"Of course you can." Prince Xiao ignored his subordinate's words and said with a hint of meaning, "Originally, this Ten Thousand Buddhas Painting was the betrothal gift I brought. As long as the Queen Mother agrees to my proposal, this Painting can be enshrined in the royal temple of Dayan. This will also be a great merit for you, the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother did not express her opinion on the great merits that Prince Xiao mentioned. She only said, "Thank you very much, Prince Xiao."
After saying that, he signaled Nanny Chen to take people and put away the Ten Thousand Buddhas Picture.
"Why are you guys still kneeling? Get up quickly?" The Queen Mother looked at Xuanyuan Jin, Tang Bao and others and said.
As for Tang Bao's disobedience, it naturally became a small matter and nothing happened.
Tang Bao's face was filled with joy when she heard this.
"Thank you, Grandma."
After saying that, he rubbed his sore legs and tried to stand up.
But my legs are really numb.
So, a trace of pain appeared on the little face.
"What's wrong? Are your legs numb?" Xuanyuan Jin asked.
After saying that, he naturally reached out his hand and wanted to massage Tang Bao's legs.
"Cough cough!" Emperor Tianxi coughed twice.
What it means is: How can you behave in public?
Even if they are siblings, at this age, they still have to pay attention to the differences between men and women.
Tang Bao looked up at Emperor Tianxi.
Why is the emperor coughing?
However, Tang Bao ignored it.
Then, he pounded his leg, lowered his head and said, "Brother, I'm fine."
After saying that, he subconsciously waved away Xuanyuan Jin's hand.
What a joke! My legs were numb, and if the little brother touched them, they would definitely sting.
Tang Bao would rather recover slowly on her own.
Xuanyuan Jin was stunned, as if he had not expected that Tang Bao would open his hand.
Su Laowu looked at Tang Bao with heartache and blamed himself for not taking good care of his sister.
Princess Huaning hurried forward and helped Tang Bao up.
"Sister Fuya, slow down." Princess Huaning said with concern.
"Oh, okay, Sister Ning...hiss..." Tang Bao sighed in pain.
When Xuanyuan Jin saw this, he immediately squatted down and slowly massaged Tang Bao's calves with both hands.
People around: "..."
Isn’t this relationship too close?
The people around them couldn't help but look at Tang Bao and Xuanyuan Jin with some inexplicable expressions.
Originally, people didn’t think too deeply about it because Tang Bao was young.
Now that Prince Xiao has proposed to her, the way he looks at Tang Bao is no longer just looking at a little girl.
This is clearly a marriage opportunity.
Thinking of this, many people couldn't help but look at Prince Xiao.
Prince Xiao's eyes darkened, but there was no sign of surprise.
"Brother, no need..." Tang Bao said, trying to dodge.
This feels so sour and refreshing!
She doesn't want it!
"Don't move!" Xuanyuan Jin said.
Tang Bao: “…”
Woohoo...it hurts so much...
Tangbao's little face was wrinkled into a little bun.
"Quickly bring a chair," the Empress Dowager ordered, "Put it next to me and help Fuya over."
After saying this, he glanced at Emperor Tianxi with dissatisfaction.
Emperor Tianxi: “…”
Well, his fault.
But, wasn't he the one who asked the little girl to kneel down?
Emperor Tianxi felt that he was wronged.
It was obvious that the little girl disobeyed the emperor's order and brought shame to him in front of all the ministers.
I haven't punished her, so why not let her kneel for a while?
Could we ask her to get up right away? There had to be a reason for her to get up, right?
As an emperor, don’t you have any shame?
Emperor Tianxi was muttering to himself, feeling very aggrieved, while Tang Bao was helped to sit down next to the Empress Dowager.
The Queen Mother said distressedly: "Poor thing, you've been kneeling for such a long time at such a young age, your legs are numb. If you have any problems in the future, go and tell Grandmother, so that you won't suffer..."
As he said this, he glanced at the emperor with dissatisfaction.
Emperor Tianxi: “…”
Emperor Tianxi touched his nose awkwardly.
I feel a little uncomfortable.
I feel like my son was adopted, and my granddaughter Fuya is my biological one.
The civil and military officials, as well as their families, were once again filled with envy and hatred when they saw this scene.
Isn't the Empress Dowager doting on Princess Fude too much?
Sure enough, from now on, no matter who you mess with, you must not mess with Princess Ford.
Look, with the Empress Dowager’s support, even the Emperor can’t do anything to her?
The Empress Dowager came here solely to support Princess Fude.
After Tang Bao and the others stood up, Su Laowu was the only one kneeling on the ground.
Princess Huaning looked at the Empress Dowager with a pleading look.
The Empress Dowager sighed and said, "Master Su, please get up too."
Su Laowu did not move, still kneeling on the ground, and said: "Thank you for your grace, Queen Mother. I admire Princess Huaning so much, and I hope you will grant me your blessing!"
Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Mingxuan immediately said, "Your Majesty the Queen, I sincerely wish to marry the Princess of Dayan. I hope that our two countries will have an everlasting friendship. I beg your Majesty the Queen to consider this matter."
"Grandmother, the Emperor has already issued an edict granting the marriage between the Second Prince and Princess Mingli." Tang Bao said crisply, "Dayan and Xiqin have already formed an alliance, so Sister Ning doesn't need to marry far away. It's still most appropriate for her to be my sister-in-law."
Tang Bao confidently campaigned for votes for her brother.
Upon hearing this, Su Laowu quickly expressed his determination and said, "Empress Dowager, if I am able to marry Her Royal Highness, I swear to heaven that I will only have Her Royal Highness in my heart for the rest of my life!"
Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Mingxuan, unwilling to be outdone, also shouted, "Empress Dowager, Mingxuan also swears that after marrying the princess, I will definitely send all the women in the Crown Prince's residence away. From now on, only Her Majesty the Princess will be by my side, and I will never take another concubine!"
As soon as Prince Mingxuan finished speaking, an exclamation of disbelief was heard from the Western Qin envoys.
A slim and frail maid sat down on the ground with a grief-stricken face, as if she couldn't believe what she heard.
"Your Highness, how could you... 嘤嘤嘤..."
The maidservant burst into tears before she could finish her words.
The voice is mournful and tortuous, which makes people feel sympathy.
The maid cried and spoke incoherently, "Your Highness, you clearly said that you loved Lianyue and wanted to take Lianyue back to Xi Qin...嘤嘤嘤... You also said last night that you would give Lianyue a status, make Lianyue a concubine, let Lianyue bear children for you, and be with Lianyue for the rest of your life. Even Your Highness...嘤嘤嘤...can't stop you..."
“Boo, boo, boo… Lianyue doesn’t dare to compete with the princess for favor, but you can’t abandon Lianyue. Lianyue’s belly might already be pregnant with your flesh and blood… boo, boo, boo…”
Following the maid Lianyue's words, everyone's eyes on Prince Mingxuan changed.
