Fu Sangxian spoke first, followed by Puyang Tang.
"Of course, it's because of my stunning beauty."
The girl's beautiful face was adorned with a smile, her features exquisitely beautiful as if bestowed by heaven, every smile and frown could be breathtaking.
Such a vibrant and captivating beauty is almost too beautiful to look at directly.
The princess of the vassal state choked on her choking dread.
Judging by appearance alone, the girl is indeed dazzling when she smiles, and everyone else pales in comparison.
The only person in the world who could stand beside her without being overshadowed was the handsome, aloof emperor.
The Imperial Concubine's answer left everyone speechless.
However, throughout history, monarchs who were obsessed with women were never good emperors.
The emperor would certainly refute the concubine's words, using polite language to say that she was virtuous and intelligent.
Hmph, when the time comes, she'll ask to compete with the Imperial Concubine again.
How could the pampered imperial concubine compare to her?
The ministers were somewhat worried, all sharing the same thoughts as the princess of the vassal state.
The handsome prime minister frowned unhappily, almost unable to hold back his words.
At this moment—
The young emperor stretched out his slender, white fingers and gently stroked the delicate tip of the girl's nose.
"Naughty."
Then, his thin, handsome lips curved into a smile.
"I have only one Consort, and that is enough for me."
Isn't this a tacit admission of what the Imperial Concubine said?
It is evident that the young emperor had clear eyes, an exceptionally handsome face, and a languid and nonchalant expression.
He seems to care nothing about himself and will be seen by everyone as a tyrannical ruler obsessed with beauty.
The officials were abuzz with discussion.
In the past, people would have thought it was a good thing that the emperor was finally willing to favor his concubines.
Seeing that he only favored the Imperial Concubine, he immediately felt uneasy.
How could an emperor be so obsessed with women, favoring only one concubine instead of extending his affections to all his descendants and ensuring the continuation of the imperial family?
The princess of the vassal state laughed boldly.
"Beauty is a curse! But she is not even half as good as me!"
Prime Minister Liu suddenly stood up, his handsome face covered with frost, and spoke coldly.
“The Imperial Concubine has been well-versed in the histories of the six kingdoms since childhood, and was already famous throughout the world in her prime. How can she be inferior to you, a woman from a barbarian land?”
The ministers immediately began to protect their lord.
How could a princess of a small vassal state compare to a royal concubine?
The Imperial Concubine was the favored daughter of Prime Minister Liu, and she had been famous throughout the land for many years. Countless young men regarded her as the bright moon in their hearts.
The imperial concubine was merely joking that the emperor was infatuated with good looks, but this princess from a vassal state actually took it seriously.
The princess of the vassal state blushed again.
"You, you all..."
Fearing the princess might utter another outrageous statement, the envoy quickly pulled her away and forced her to smile apologetically at the stern-faced emperor.
The young emperor stood up and said coldly, "Disperse."
The messenger left the banquet covered in cold sweat.
Wolong Hall.
Fu Sang lay on the bed flipping through books to pass the time.
A moment later.
Footsteps could be heard inside the hall.
Fu Sang turned around and gave a faint smile.
"You're back."
Puyang Tang walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed her arm, and pulled her up to hug her.
Fu Sang leaned against the boy's chest and asked, "What's wrong?"
Puyang Tang said sullenly, "I want to kill them."
Fu Sang hugged him and said, "This is not appropriate, Your Majesty."
Puyang Tang said with some displeasure, "No one can say anything about you, they all deserve to die."
Although the boy's tone was fierce, it inexplicably revealed a hint of grievance.
Because he and Fusang made a three-point agreement to try their best to control themselves from indiscriminate killing.
Fu Sang stepped out of his arms and said, "Aren't we going on the autumn hunt tomorrow?"
They were to receive the envoys within half a month, followed by various competitions with prizes.
