"My God, is that a tiger? Tigers are so tall and so big!"
"Look at their fangs and claws! If they bite or scratch you, you're dead instantly!"
The men were buzzing with discussion, and the ladies and wives of Kyoto were no less chattering:
"What is that girl riding? It's so cute!"
"Yes, it's so cute and adorable! I really want to have the same mount!"
"Ninth Prince, do you need any more concubines?"
"Nine Sons, consider having a baby. My family's secret recipe guarantees a son!"
As soon as the young woman said she would guarantee to have a son, a middle-aged woman next to her rolled her eyes and scolded her, "Superficial!"
Finally, the middle-aged woman suddenly pulled a dark blue floral cloth from her vegetable basket and frantically waved it at the carriage that Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao were riding in, yelling, "Ninth Princess, do you need any more maids? Big-shouldered, strong, and especially good at beating people!"
duang~
A large number of people around immediately collapsed in shock.
Ji Fengyao: "..."
This lady, are you a monster?!
Although they were bandits, they were super civilized bandits!
Lin Shuang had just returned to Kyoto yesterday and was staying at a fine inn next to the main street, with the window of her room facing the street.
At this moment, she was standing by the window, looking down at the passing of the Ninth Prince's procession.
At first, she didn't think much of it.
She had experienced a similar scene when they returned to Beijing from their great victory in the Northwest.
She told herself it was no big deal.
But when she saw the fierce and majestic beast mounts beneath Xique and Bailu, and the cute and adorable beast mounts, she finally couldn't keep up the act and became a sour lemon.
Holy crap!
How could that bandit be so lucky to have the honor of getting close to the Ninth Prince!
And those two crude and stupid girls!
In what way are they better than her? Why do they deserve such a good mount?
At this time, the civil and military officials in the palace were in power.
Shang Xiche sat firmly in the Golden Palace. His pale face had changed from its usual listless and mediocre appearance. His eyes gleamed with a cold and sharp light, exuding a chilling and oppressive aura.
A struggle would occasionally appear in his eyes, and his pale face, still bearing traces of bruises, would sometimes twitch uncontrollably.
However, due to his sudden surge in immense power, the lowly civil and military officials...
Neither Crown Prince Shang Dongyang nor the Second Prince Shang Nanjue dared to look him directly in the eye, so no one noticed these subtle abnormalities in him.
The civil and military officials were still wondering:
Could it be that the Emperor's body was opened and stolen by an assassin?
Or was he simply angry and embarrassed, putting on a show of authority to save face?
But regardless of which one, as subjects, they dared not and should not have made any comments.
Shang Xiche's indifferent gaze fell upon the Crown Prince, who was pretending to be meek and listless. Suddenly, unexpectedly, he spoke up: "I have heard that the Crown Prince has been studying diligently and earnestly recently, which is commendable. He should be punished for his mistakes, but he should also be rewarded for his ability to correct them. After court, you will go to the national treasury and collect two boxes each of gold and silver as encouragement."
These words shocked the entire court!
Everyone knows that the Emperor has always been wary of the Crown Prince, and is just short of issuing an edict to depose him!
Suddenly, two chests of gold and silver were bestowed upon him. What kind of show is this?
Shang Dongyang was completely bewildered and couldn't react for a moment:
this……
Holy crap, did the sun rise in the west?
"What, Your Highness thinks it's too little?" Shang Xiche's tone was indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger, but his next words were even more alarming: "If you think it's too little, then each of you can take four boxes."
