The guard swallowed hard, "The prince said... his carriage is no longer available, and he sent me to ask Your Majesty... if I could ride in your carriage."
"This is nonsense!"
Before the old emperor could speak, he heard the eunuch Liu Zhongyi standing at the carriage door scold him, "What nonsense! How can you sit in the emperor's carriage casually? The prince did this on purpose. Please punish him, Your Majesty."
Shen Wangshu: "..."
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. As expected, it was still the Prince Chen. He had the nerve to make such an unreasonable request so confidently.
When the old emperor heard this, his expression became uncertain.
I even felt that what Liu Zhongyi said made sense, and that the Prince of Chen clearly did it on purpose.
How could anyone ride in his carriage? As a minister, he didn't fulfill his duties as a minister, and even tried to take advantage of this opportunity.
This is simply audacious.
Besides, if he disagreed, so many people were watching, and rumors would spread that he, the emperor, neglected his meritorious officials and had no magnanimity.
So, should he be allowed to get on the carriage or not?
The old emperor was still hesitating when he heard a cold voice from outside, "Since Eunuch Liu says I'm being ridiculous, how about you go and fix my carriage? Or, you can serve as my mount for the whole journey?"
Liu Zhongyi: "..."
Old Emperor: "..."
Shen Wangshu: "..."
Liu Zhongyi was so angry that he was shaking all over.
"Prince Chen, although I am only a eunuch, I am still serving the emperor. Isn't it a bit too much for you to say that?"
"Oh, yes, I would have forgotten if you hadn't told me. You're just a eunuch. The emperor hasn't even spoken yet, but you, a servant, are making the decision. What's going on? Are you planning a rebellion?"
"you!"
Liu Zhongyi gritted his teeth and said, "Prince Chen is indeed born with a good mouth. He can turn white into black and death into life. This old servant admires him."
"Oh, thank you for the compliment. You're the only one in the world who dares to speak of me like that. If it were anyone else, I would have silenced them long ago."
Shen Wangshu: "..."
The old emperor said: "Alright, shut up. Stop arguing, both of you!"
Prince Chen: "Oh. So the Emperor agrees?"
Old Emperor: "..."
After the old emperor reminded him, Eunuch Liu finally realized that he had almost fallen into a trap.
The Prince of Chen's eloquence was much more powerful than he had imagined. Even an old man like him couldn't win an argument with him!
If they continue arguing, he might choke to death one day.
The old emperor looked depressed, but he really had no good excuse to refuse. After thinking for a moment, he set his sights on Shen Wangshu.
Yes, why didn’t he think of it?
"My beloved, you heard it too. Prince Chen wants to come up with us. I'm afraid it's not convenient for you. If it's not convenient, then I will refuse him on your behalf."
The old emperor's words sounded high-sounding, and he also acted like a compassionate and selfless person.
He believed that this woman would definitely not reject him.
But he never expected that Shen Wangshu actually shook his head without hesitation, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so troublesome, I don't mind."
The old emperor: “…”
The excuse he had prepared was swallowed back when it reached his lips.
