The emperor's tall figure stood before everyone, with a noble lady in gorgeous clothes standing beside him. In the distance, doors were opened one after another, and ministers and envoys bowed down one after another, with cheers shaking the sky.
The young ladies in the corridor turned pale, beads of sweat dripped from their foreheads, and they shivered.
Only then did they remember that 'Maoyuan' was where His Majesty entertained envoys, but they did not know the rules and made a noise here, even if it was the Eighth Princess who instigated this matter... When they thought about being laughed at by the envoys and how furious His Majesty would be, they were frightened and broke out in cold sweats, their hands and feet went limp.
The Eighth Princess remained calm and smiled: "I didn't expect that my brother is here too. It's my fault for disturbing your pleasure. I'm here——"
Xiao Huaiyu glanced at her and said, "Shut up."
The Eighth Princess was about to shut up, but when she turned around, she saw a foreign man at the end of the corridor staring at this side with great interest.
I guess that person should be the Prince Baru that my mother mentioned, who is coming here to marry the prince. She has made up her mind that since she is going to marry the prince anyway, the emperor can no longer control her, so why should she suffer?
He glanced at Xie Wan'er who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes showing disdain, and said loudly:
"Royal brother, this woman actually dared to publicly express her close relationship with you, slandering your reputation and deceiving Xian'er. How cunning she is! She deserves a slap in the face!"
He actually confused right and wrong and put the blame directly on Xie Wan'er.
Xie Wan'er couldn't help but look up in surprise.
The Eighth Princess's voice became increasingly high-pitched. "If she had bullied someone else, it would have been fine. But for her to focus on you and Xian'er, I cannot allow this! After all, Xian'er has been coming to the palace every day for so many years, and we have a very close relationship. How can I bear to see her being humiliated? My Royal Brother, you must stand up for Xian'er."
She just wanted to make a big deal out of this, and let everyone know the Meng family’s obvious ambitions!
The ministers shrank their heads and wished they could close their ears, secretly hating themselves for joining in the fun just now. Couldn't they just pretend not to hear anything? Now, they have heard such a private matter of the royal family. Who knows how the Prime Minister will deal with them when he gets back!
The smile on Xihe's face slowly faded, and she finally understood what the Eighth Princess meant.
This girl hated Xian'er so much that she was determined to put the Meng family on the position of treacherous ministers who were plotting to take the throne, and force the young emperor to oppose them!
How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?
After all, Xiao Huaiyu was pushed to the throne by the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister's Office.
Over the years, he has cleared many obstacles for him in the court, and his power is overwhelming.
Now, many ministers have privately advised him to be more careful, or to directly start dealing with the Prime Minister's Office and the First Minister's Office... This voice is getting louder and louder.
It's not surprising that the Eighth Princess thinks so, but...
Xi He glanced at Xiao Huaiyu. This was the child she had raised herself. She knew him better than anyone else.
Xiao Huaiyu stared at the Eighth Princess coldly, staring until she trembled inwardly. Her eyes flickered, and she looked away, not daring to look directly at him. Then she looked at Meng Xian: "Xie'er, what do you say?"
Meng Xian: "Brother, this matter has nothing to do with Wan'er! Eighth Princess, if you have any dissatisfaction with me, just say it directly. Why bother with outsiders? You won't make a fool of yourself!"
Do you really think she only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and doesn't understand the ways of the world? She just disdains to participate in these things.
Meng Xi looked at her coldly, helped Xie Wan'er up and handed her to the eunuch: "Go find the imperial physician to check on Wan'er." Then she walked to the Eighth Princess. The Eighth Princess was startled and subconsciously closed her eyes.
