Prince Rui was so angry that his face turned black. All the guests present knelt down immediately, not daring to breathe. They all thought that the two brothers of the Xiao family were simply crazy. They accused the prince in such a sarcastic way, and they probably didn't want to live anymore!
"Xiao Qilang, how dare you disregard this king..."
Prince Rui was about to get angry.
"Bang".
The prince slowly put down his teacup, and the sound made Prince Rui's heart skip a beat.
"Instead of showing off here, Third Prince should practice more with the troops. Your father has paid for your training from the national treasury, and you must not waste his kindness. Seventh Prince has done a great job. This fake prince has been hiding in the court for more than 20 years without being discovered. If it weren't for him, you and I would still have to tolerate this father and son stepping on the reputation of our royal family. They deserve a reward." Ying Huaiji looked at Xiao Cunyu with appreciation.
Prince Rui gritted his teeth secretly.
The reason why Xiao Qilang dares to be so bold is because he relies on the prince to make decisions for him.
Even a prince like him doesn't take him seriously...
Prince Rui's heart sank. Suddenly, his eyes swept over his own imperial sister. He looked at Xiao Cunyu with great enthusiasm and immediately said, "This prince wants to reward him! How about... I reward him with a marriage! The third imperial sister is still waiting to be married, so why don't you go back and ask for an imperial decree to grant Xiao Cunyu the title of Third Prince Consort!"
After saying this, King Rui felt that his idea was very good.
As long as Xiao Qilang becomes his sister's man, will the prince still be able to trust the Xiao family wholeheartedly in the future?
The prince frowned slightly, and a coldness emanated from his body.
Xiao Jingyun immediately looked up in shock. Meeting the smug gaze of Prince Rui, he panicked and said immediately, "No! I'm used to my freedom and lack of rules. I'm afraid I'm not worthy of the Third Princess!"
At this time, Prince Qin also immediately stood up and said, "Third brother, don't forget that the second princess hasn't married yet. Even if a marriage is to be granted, I'm afraid the second princess should be married first. There's no rush for the third princess's marriage, right?"
"I promised to give him a reward, how can I go back on my word?" Prince Rui insisted. "Third sister, what do you think of Xiao Qilang?"
Xiao Cunyu didn't expect that Prince Rui actually had this idea in mind.
Her gaze naturally fell on Princess Baoyi's face, and she was startled to see the sparkling eyes she was looking at her.
"I will listen to my third brother." Princess Baoyi said immediately.
She had heard of Xiao Qilang a long time ago. They all said that in terms of appearance, Xiao Qilang ranked first. Not to mention in the capital, there were few people who could compare with him even in the whole world!
She also heard that Xiao Qillang loved to play but had a kind nature, and she did not expect the future prince consort to be very talented. After all, as a prince consort, unless he was trusted by his father and occasionally entrusted with important tasks, in most cases, he could not hold an important position. In this case, it would be better for him to be more playful and live a more comfortable life.
Seeing him today was even better than she had imagined!
"It's not your turn to decide the Imperial Sister's marriage. Do you intend to destroy her innocence in public?" The Crown Prince was very displeased and said in a cold voice, "Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. I see that you are usually arrogant, and now you have lost your father in your heart. Why don't you go back to the palace and write a few pieces of filial piety to atone for your sins?!"
The prince became more and more arrogant and even punished Prince Rui in front of everyone.
Upon hearing this, Prince Rui blushed and was very dissatisfied: "I said I would ask my father for permission!"
"You said that? Why do I feel like this is a case of beheading first and reporting later?" Ying Huaiji sneered, "If you have your father and brother in your heart, you shouldn't be so impulsive. Don't worry, I will report everything that happened today to my father truthfully. If I really made a mistake in the punishment, I will apologize to my father."
