Chapter 151 Why don’t you leave?
"My Lord, Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived."
As soon as Lin Zhaoyue followed the others in, she saw Xiao Tingye sitting in the hall and talking with her grandfather.
Seeing her come in, both of them slowly looked at her and stood up at the same time.
Xiao Tingye lowered his eyes: "Your humble servant greets Her Royal Highness the Princess."
The Duke of Zhenguo also wanted to bow, "I greet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Lin Zhaoyue immediately stepped forward to support him, sighing, "Grandpa, please don't be so polite. We are all family, so why should we be so polite?"
Xiao Tingye bowed and raised his eyes to Lin Zhaoyue's face.
Qiao Qingfeng raised an eyebrow. "Master Xiao happened to come over today to sit down and talk to me. He just arrived a short time ago, and Zhao Hua is here too. Could it be that you two made an appointment?"
Lin Zhaoyue smiled: "Of course not, it's just a coincidence."
Why would this old fox Xiao Tingye come to see the Duke for no reason?
She didn't believe that he just came here to sit.
Lin Zhaoyue also sat down slowly, sitting opposite Xiao Tingye.
After Lin Zhaoyue arrived, Xiao Tingye, who had just been chatting and laughing with the Duke, stopped talking. He just picked up a cup of tea and took a sip without making any expression.
Lin Zhaoyue frowned slightly. Why didn't he leave?
Then he looked at Qiao Qingfeng, "Actually, I've been wanting to visit Grandpa since I returned to Beijing, but I've been so busy that I can't spare the time. I haven't thanked Grandpa for taking care of Yue'er and Lu Chenzhou's matter yet."
After saying this, Lin Zhaoyue stood up and bowed deeply to Qiao Qingfeng.
Qiao Qingfeng immediately stood up, his face sullen: "You are Her Royal Highness the Princess, how can you bow to me? Sit down quickly."
Lin Zhaoyue shook her head. "This is what Yue'er should do. She should have come earlier, but she was delayed for several days. It's Yue'er's fault."
Qiao Qingfeng sighed, "I don't know you yet. You're so busy with so many things, how can you spare some time? What's more, you're the one who's been suffering the most these days."
Now that the crown prince has been deposed, Princess Zhaohua will have to deal with more related matters.
Not to mention, there was an assassination incident before.
Although he is a military general, he is not stupid. The affairs of Xiling are not simple.
The assassination of the princess was a difficult matter, as the three judges held a joint trial.
He didn't know what his granddaughter was thinking or what she wanted to do.
But I understand that she has her own plans.
Today, His Majesty has announced in court that Princess Zhaohua is to appear in court.
Not just one day, but from now on, Princess Zhaohua will be able to attend court and attend government affairs, and will be the head of all the ministers.
Many ministers had already guessed what this meant.
Although Princess Zhaohua had attended court before, the emperor had never issued such an order specifically, nor had he announced it in front of all the court officials.
Only Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaohua was given the privilege of attending court.
But the nature of this imperial decree is completely different.
Although he was a little shocked, since she was his granddaughter, it seemed nothing was wrong.
"Besides coming to see grandpa today, Yue'er, I also have some things I want to ask him." When she said this, she glanced at Xiao Tingye.
But Xiao Tingye seemed not to hear it and did not react at all.
Qiao Qingfeng also looked at Xiao Tingye and coughed lightly.
Zhao Yue obviously wanted Xiao Tingye to stay away.
Lord Xiao, who has always been immersed in the court, should have noticed it...
Lin Zhaoyue's voice was slightly cold: "Master Xiao, why don't you stay here and wait for dinner? Are you planning to stay overnight?"
She had never seen anyone as unconscious as Xiao Tingye.
Xiao Tingye seemed to suddenly realize something, and then he slowly stood up, bowed, lowered his eyes and chuckled, "This humble servant is stupid. I remembered that I have something else to do at home, so I will not disturb Your Highness and the Duke from reminiscing about the past. Your Highness, Your Highness, the Duke, I bid you farewell."
After saying this, Xiao Tingye took a few steps back before turning around and leaving.
Lin Zhaoyue frowned.
Did this bastard do this on purpose?
If Lao Xiao hadn't been teasing the princess, I would have pooped upside down.
[Hahaha, how could Lao Xiao be so tactless? He just wanted the princess to say a few words to him.]
[I'll make another bet. Lao Xiao won't leave. He will definitely wait for the princess to come out and leave together.]
[Tsk… Top-notch Princess Love Brain]
Qiao Qingfeng watched Xiao Tingye's departing figure and sighed softly, eyes full of admiration. "This man is truly a man of unparalleled talent... Over the years, this Lord Xiao has been the person I admire most. It's just a pity. He could have continued to lead troops on the battlefield, unleashing his abilities to the fullest. In the end, he chose the imperial court and became a manipulator..."
As he spoke, he seemed to feel a little regretful.
Lin Zhaoyue frowned slightly. "Even though he's a powerful official, he's done better than anyone else, isn't he? Whether in the court or on the battlefield, he's done what he's supposed to do, and he's already a pillar of the Great Xia..."
Having said this, she suddenly realized that she seemed to be speaking for Xiao Tingye.
She continued calmly, "But this person is extremely cunning. Who knows what evil things he has in mind?"
