The surroundings were completely silent.
All eyes were on the Emperor and Empress.
What was being stopped was the emperor's most beloved concubine.
Will the emperor spare Su Ruxue for her sake?
The boy, with a languid and aloof expression, glanced indifferently at the girl.
"Let her off this time?"
Fu Sang still had a faint smile on his face and said, "How about demoting her to a palace maid and sending her to the laundry room?"
Su Ruxue's face darkened.
There are several of the dirtiest and most tiring jobs in the palace, and the laundry room is one of them.
In the hot summer and cold winter, if you accidentally don't wash your clothes properly or soil someone important's clothes, you will be punished.
This woman is truly vicious!
The ministers, however, had different opinions.
Although the work in the laundry room was tiring and demanding, compared to losing a life, this punishment was as lenient as could be.
Would the emperor agree?
Puyang Tang leaned towards Fu Sang, bent down and stretched out his long, strong arms to pull her into his embrace.
Fu Sang struggled uncomfortably for a while.
The young emperor held her even tighter, his thin, beautiful lips pressed against the girl's fair earlobe.
This is the second time.
The boy's warm breath sprayed onto her neck and earlobes, bringing a strange, tingling, itchy sensation.
Fu Sang paused for a moment.
Then, things became somewhat absurd and comical.
Why would he care about such things? Does he even get jealous of a woman?
I was just thinking that.
The boy's next words came.
"Next time, I will throw her to feed the wild dogs."
The tone of his words sent chills down one's spine.
Fu Sang's body trembled slightly, and his smile faded a little.
No one could hear what the young man was saying, but they saw him embracing the imperial concubine as if she were a precious treasure.
Such an intimate and possessive posture is too much for one to bear looking at.
Puyang Tang realized that his tone had been too harsh and had frightened the girl, so he quickly kissed her cheek.
"Don't be afraid, no one can hurt you in the slightest."
After speaking...
His gaze swept across the air indifferently, looking at Su Ruxue without any emotional fluctuation.
"Take her away and send her to the laundry."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The guards gagged Su Ruxue and quickly took her away.
The farce has come to an end.
The banquet continued, and the palace dancers took to the stage again to perform. In between, some noblewomen showcased their talents.
The young men were attracted by these beautiful girls and fell in love with some of them.
After several rounds of drinks...
A woman dressed in unusual clothes stepped forward from the envoy's side and asked the guards to unfurl a long scroll.
"Your Majesty, this 'Landscape and State Map' is presented to express our nation's respect..."
The woman was staring intently at the emperor.
Fu Sang's eyes flickered slightly, and his expression was somewhat tense.
Forget about respect; what it all means is a marriage alliance, or to put it more bluntly, sending women to the emperor.
Thinking about this...
Fu Sang turned and glared at Pu Yangtang a few times.
Just then, the young emperor looked at her.
Their eyes met in mid-air.
Fu Sang's beautiful, bright eyes revealed a hint of displeasure.
A smile flickered in the depths of Puyang Tangmo's dark eyes.
The envoy appeared to be a princess from some country. Seeing that the emperor wasn't listening to her at all, she looked embarrassed.
"emperor?!"
Puyang Tang's exceptionally handsome face remained expressionless as he coldly stated, "I will accept this painting. As for the princess..."
"Let's return home with the envoy tomorrow."
The princess of the vassal state blushed and then turned pale.
Her gaze was sharp and cold as she looked at Fu Sang.
"I would like to know, what virtues and abilities does the Imperial Concubine possess that make Your Majesty so fond of her?"
