Just imagine, what would the people around you think of someone who was treated with courtesy by the king of a country? They would definitely think that they could climb up, so it is conceivable that within a day, An Tingyu's life would no longer be comfortable, and there would definitely be a group of people, both known and unknown, coming to her door to curry favor.
However, even though she knew Long Xunyi did it on purpose, he was the king after all, so An Tingyu could only admit it, "Your Majesty is serious! I am simply unworthy of this."
On the other side, Sun and An Rong glared at An Tingyu with jealousy. This little bitch was so ungrateful after getting the advantage, saying that she couldn't afford it and was unworthy of it. In fact, she was secretly happy to be called that by Long Xunyi.
"Whether you dare to accept it or not, I have the final say. Since everyone has heard it, I will make it clear today. The eldest lady of the An family and I are sworn sisters. I heard that Sister An has suffered a lot of grievances recently, and I am very unhappy." After saying this, Long Xunyi's originally indifferent expression became cold and sharp, and a cold aura enveloped his whole body, even the air became cold.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!" All the civil and military officials lowered their heads, not daring to breathe. Only An Tingyu stood upright.
At this moment, An Tingyu didn't know how to describe her feelings. The moment before, she even suspected that Long Xunyi was deliberately making trouble for her, but at this moment, she suddenly had a feeling that although Long Xunyi did it on purpose, he might be doing it for her own good. He was telling everyone in the world that she, An Tingyu, had Long Xunyi's protection, but why?
In the past, An Tingyu was just a cowardly and incompetent idiot, but not only did the Queen Mother arrange the marriage for her, but the King of a country also loved her so much. How could she have such virtue and ability?
"An Chengxiang!" Long Xunyi spoke coldly.
"I am here!"
"Today I will make it clear. Your eldest daughter is a princess. Don't treat your pearls as a wooden fish and let some unpresentable people ruin your future. Do you understand?"
Long Xunyi's words were obviously an indirect criticism. Everyone knew that in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the only ones who could make An Tingyu suffer any injustice were the Second Madam Sun and An Rongxin. Long Xunyi's words were clearly telling An Donglin not to let Sun and An Rongxin bully An Tingyu, otherwise his future would be ruined.
"Yes! I will keep the emperor's teachings in mind." An Donglin nodded quickly in response.
Here, An Donglin nodded, and Sun and An Rongxin were secretly angry. If it weren't for the emperor's presence, they would have blamed him long ago!
"Okay, Your Majesty, today is the little prince's hundred-day banquet, so let's not be angry. Be careful not to get sick from anger. And you see, you are so angry that Prince Jing and Prince Feng are standing at the door and don't dare to enter the hall!" At this time, Concubine Feng was whispering beside him.
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that Jing Aotian and Feng Beijian had arrived, and the guard beside them was about to report, but the emperor was furious, so the guard didn't dare to say a word.
Long Xunyi glanced at Jing Aotian and Feng Beijian, and said lightly, "The banquet begins, please take a seat!"
Jing Aotian and Feng Beijian walked in at the same time, bowed to Long Xunyi before sitting aside. When they were seated, music started playing, the aroma of wine filled the air, and singing and dancing were heard.
Seeing such a boring banquet, An Tingyu soon found an excuse to run out, but...
"Why are you following me?" An Tingyu frowned and glanced coldly behind her.
Jing Aotian shrugged and said lightly: "Breathe!"
"Just to get some fresh air? Then you can take your time here, I'm going back."
"This king has something to say."
Turning back, An Tingyu gave him a fake smile, then glared at him, "Can't you just be honest? This is the imperial palace, and you're the one who said you didn't want others to know. Now you're the one approaching me. I don't know what you're planning in your mind."
"You appeared as a healer, didn't you? Since you are the one who healed this king, it would be abnormal not to make contact, right?"
"Okay, let's assume what you said makes sense. Then tell me, what do you want to say?"
"Emperor, stay away from him."
An Tingyu was stunned. "What do you mean? Are you trying to tell me that Long Xunyi had a conspiracy behind what he did just now?"
"I don't know if there's a conspiracy, but I don't think the king of a country would care about you. Maybe what he cares about is just something in you."
Hearing this, An Tingyu fell silent, because she knew that Jing Aotian was right. Although she had thought that Long Xunyi might just want to protect her, she didn't think she was a hot commodity, so why would the emperor of a country treat her so well? So there must be something about her that Long Xunyi liked, otherwise he wouldn't be like this.
"You came out here just to say these things? Don't you have anything else to say?" An Tingyu suddenly said meaningfully.
"What do you mean?" Jing Aotian was a little confused.
An Tingyu raised her lips lazily, her beautiful eyes half smiling. "It doesn't matter what it refers to. What matters is that someone seems to have some thoughts about the jade I'm wearing, and I want to know if they are a friend or foe."
