Chapter 177: Female Dominance: The Dark and Seductive Empress x the Delicate and Soft Prime Minister (15)



"Your Majesty, the Second Princess's residence has sent a sign requesting the imperial physician to come and treat the Princess."

The bedroom suddenly fell silent.

But the next moment, the emperor's voice with a faint smile was heard.

"My sister is not feeling well. Please ask the imperial physician to treat her. Please inform me of the situation after returning to the palace."

The eunuch looked at the two overlapping shadows on the screen, his eyelids trembling, and he immediately lowered his eyes, not daring to look any further, and replied in a low voice:

"yes."

After the horse riding and archery ceremony, two things happened in the court that shocked the ministers.

The first thing was that one day at a palace banquet, when all the ministers were present, the emperor proposed to the prime minister in a grand manner.

At that time, countless brilliant lights shone on the emperor's beautiful eyebrows and eyes. His fiery red dragon robe was dazzling and scorching. The ever-lasting candlelight at the palace banquet added an indelible color to it.

When the court officials' eyes fell on the Prime Minister, they discovered that both the Emperor and the Prime Minister were wearing red clothes today.

The young man, who had always been cold and restrained, stood up and bowed from a distance, with a faint smile on his serious face.

"Your humble servant obeys your order."

All the ministers were stunned.

The Prime Minister has always been wise and virtuous. As a man, he ranks first among all officials and has always been a role model among court officials. A few years ago, Lord Yan was already old, and the doorstep of his house was even broken down by the queen of the capital. However, Lord Yan was an outstanding man with an incorruptible character, and he frankly stated that he would never marry in this life.

This burning oath responded to those who mocked the Prime Minister for not knowing which girl he would marry, and it also broke the hearts of many girls from prominent families.

All the ministers thought that he would refuse the emperor's marriage proposal as he had done in previous years, but they did not expect that this immortal-like figure who seemed to be out of this world would actually agree.

Anyone who was around the emperor was used to it, but if this group of people knew how gentle and obedient Lord Yan was when he was with the emperor in private, they would probably be even more shocked.

But when Yan Tingjing was led by Qingdai and stood beside her, the ministers suddenly realized.

This familiar figure and familiar scene confirmed a certain picture in their minds.

Isn’t this the man who accompanied the emperor when he was traveling a few days ago?

I see.

The court officials smiled knowingly. It turned out that their king and the prime minister had been in love for a long time. No wonder the prime minister, who was not tainted by the worldly affairs, would step down from the altar for the king.

So in the second half of the palace banquet, the Prime Minister sat beside the emperor without changing his expression, facing the gazes of the court officials.

Qingdai took advantage of the cover of the table and reached out from her sleeve to hold the hand of Yan Tingjing next to her.

When court officials came forward to toast her, the empress accepted them all without batting an eyelid and drank one cup after another. Noticing the worried look in Yan Tingjing's eyes, she turned around to comfort him.

"The banquet was full of strong liquor. I asked them to bring you some nourishing heart soup."

The empress lowered her head, retracted the fierceness between her brows, and used a gentle tone to remind the young man sitting next to her. Then she turned her head and returned to her original voice to instruct the palace maids serving beside her.

"Replace the food on my table with what I asked you to prepare."

After the people brought the food up, Qingdai picked up the wine pot, which had been replaced with Yangxin Soup, then picked up the wine cup, poured it out, and placed it next to the young man.

The two of them had become accustomed to each other these days, or rather, Yan Tingjing had become accustomed to the emperor's meticulous care. He did not feel anything unusual and naturally picked up the wine cup. The warm feeling softened the coldness between his brows, and he also became more patient with the ministers who came up to talk to him.

As more and more ministers came to toast, they seemed to have discovered that the emperor was intentionally or unintentionally blocking the wine for Mr. Chengxia, so they directed all their criticisms at the emperor.

Yan Tingjing frowned and tugged at Qingdai's sleeve.

"Your Majesty, please drink less."

It has to be said that even the ministers next to him felt that the Prime Minister's words were effective.

Lord Yan only said this lightly in the emperor's ear. The emperor waved his hand and stopped drinking. His response to the ministers' words made them smile knowingly.

"I dare not disobey Ah Yan's words. My lords, please go back."

The ministers sitting below looked at this heartwarming scene with a faint smile. They were surprised and lamented the emperor's favor for the people around him.

Yan Li helped the second princess to the side hall to rest.

The second princess narrowly escaped death under the horse's hooves that day, but she was also seriously injured. There was a scar on her cheek that ran through her entire face, which looked extremely horrifying. Because of the pain, she became moody.

"Get out! Get out of here!"

The second princess looked at the little palace maid who was obviously frightened by her appearance, and her temper immediately flared up, as she could not control herself to begin with.

Even Yan Li was frightened by his angry look.

He involuntarily took a step back, and this small movement was noticed by the Second Princess. She immediately became furious, stretched out her hand and roughly pulled the man's clothes, and clamped her tiger's mouth around his neck.

"What's with that expression, Ali? Could it be that you dislike me just as much as they do?"

*******

La la la la, my family, yesterday was Mid-Autumn Festival, and tomorrow is National Day. I wish you all a happy double holiday in advance! (σ≧?▽?≦?)σ. [Heart]
