After swaggering out of the Eastern Palace, Lin Yilan saw that there was no one around and immediately carried the bastard into the bushes.
"Hero, why did you take so long?”
"Haven't you been playing for a long time?" Xiao Qingying rolled his eyes at Lin Yilan and continued to check his belongings. His eyes were almost fixed on them…But, why did these notes feel different?
"Hero, is your weapon a sword or a flute?”Lin Yilan's attention was attracted by the item in Xiao Qingying's hand again. She had heard of a flute and a sword traveling in the martial world, but a flute…wasn't it a little short when played?
"You ask too many questions." Xiao Qingying put the bag on her back and hung the flute on her waist. Then, she grabbed Lin Yilan with one hand and jumped onto the roof.
Lin Yilan was already prepared for this sudden eccentric movement. She didn't want to say anything to Xiao Qingying. Anyway, it was as good as saying nothing. She could only close her eyes and hug Xiao Qingying tightly.
However, after a few jumps, Xiao Qingying stopped and pulled her into the bushes.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yilan opened her eyes strangely. She seemed to have entered the imperial garden. The flowers were gorgeous and the autumn water rippled. Compared to the garden of Wanzhi Courtyard, it paled in comparison. There was a pavilion near the grass they were hiding in. At this moment, several rows of imperial guards quickly surrounded the surroundings.
Lin Yilan was shocked. From the looks of it, these people didn't see them. The only possibility was…
As expected, a few palace maids soon entered the pavilion and laid out pastries and fruits, and a soft couch was placed on the chair. Immediately after, the woman's delicate laughter accompanied the young man's laughter from time to time. The two of them walked into the pavilion and sat down.
There was nothing to say about the man's appearance that year. The long years of luxury had caused his muscles to begin to relax, and his slightly chubby body was wrapped in a bright yellow dragon robe. There was no need to guess his identity. The woman beside him was much younger in comparison. If one removed the foxy charm in her eyes, she could be considered a gentle, delicate beauty.
Lin Xiao looked at each other and sighed at his bad luck. He continued to hide at the side and was forced to peek.
"Emperor, ChenQie is so happy today!”The beauty smiled sweetly and brought a soft cake to the man's mouth. Her eyes were filled with charm. Of course, if Xiao and Lin were not wrong, there was also a trace of pride.
"My beloved consort is happy, but it's hard to say for those two brothers. Aren't you making things difficult for zhen?”Although she said this, the Emperor still touched her slender hand lecherously before eating the pastry she fed him.
"ChenQie knows that Zhuo Qing and Yi Feng have a lot of dissatisfaction with ChenQie, but no matter what, ChenQie is their elder, but they never greet ChenQie when they see her. They even look at ChenQie coldly and speak ill of her. Emperor, you must seek justice for ChenQie!”
Lin Yilan, who had begun to understand what was going on, secretly pursed her lips. She didn't think much of this woman just now, but when she heard this, she despised this woman from the bottom of her heart. This kind of thing had to be brought up in front of the emperor. Did the emperor have the time to care about such a trivial matter?
"Good, good, good! Beloved consort, don't be angry. Didn't zhen send someone to call them over?”The Emperor saw that the beauty was angry and quickly carried her to sit on his lap and coaxed her gently," But Beloved Consort, don't be too willful. Just let them bow. Don't let them kneel. After all, you were the one who let them down first."”He had to make things clear first so that the situation wouldn't become awkward. If the two brothers became stubborn, even he wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
"Emperor, is ChenQie an unreasonable person in your heart?”After receiving the promise, even the woman's eyebrows were smiling. How could she care about what the Emperor said again? She nodded repeatedly in agreement. When she thought of the two annoying brothers 'submissive appearance in front of her, she was happy. She had spent a lot of effort to get the Emperor to agree!
"Look at how happy you are."
"Of course. Zhuo Qing and Yi Feng are the emperor's outstanding princes. The emperor loves them.”
The two of them chatted and laughed, completely unaware that someone in the grass was about to vomit blood from hearing their conversation.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Qingying quickly stopped Lin Yilan's hand that was about to take the medicine bag and whispered into her ear.
"Don't worry, no one will show up." She had to teach him a lesson…
"Emperor, His Highness the Crown Prince and King Jing have arrived.”Just as Lin Yilan was about to make a move, a sharp voice that was between the two genders froze her in mid-air.
"Emperor, you have promised ChenQie, you are not allowed to go back on your word!”When the woman heard this, she was overjoyed and leaned into the Emperor's embrace.
After that, three people came in-Huangfu Zhuoqing, Huangfu Yifeng, and an old man in his teens whom they didn't know.
The two brothers who were brought into the pavilion did not even look at the woman, only simply bowing to the Emperor.
The old man beside him sighed. After bowing to the man, he greeted the woman on behalf of the two of them."Official Bai Zhengting greets Consort Jing!”
"Lord Bai, why are you here? The Emperor only summoned the Crown Prince and King Jing. If they were to discuss state secrets, what would you do?”Consort Jing looked at Bai Zhengting with a smile, but her eyes were filled with disdain and disgust. This old man always spoiled her plans and protected the two brothers! One day, she would make him kneel and beg her!
"This…I was negligent. When the Emperor summoned His Highness and King Jing, this minister was there and followed. I hope the Emperor can forgive me.”Bai Zhengting was shocked. He had a bad feeling that Consort Jing was in such a hurry to chase him away. It must be because of that matter…
"Minister Bai, you don't have to blame yourself. Zhen was only looking for my son to reminisce about the past. As my son's teacher, there's no harm in listening.”The Emperor hurriedly spoke to smooth things over. Huangfu Zhuoqing and Huangfu Yifeng stood in front of him. His mood was not as relaxed as before.
"Emperor, ChenQie is just discussing the matter and has no other meaning. ChenQie knows the rules, so Lord Bai should also know?”Consort Jing acted coquettishly to the Emperor with an aggrieved expression.
"Beloved Consort, don't be angry. Zhen has wronged you!”Even though he had never blamed her, he had to coax her first!
Huangfu Yifeng's expression was as cold as ice. He looked coldly at Consort Jing, who could still smile when she was 'angry', and smiled disdainfully."You know the rules? If it's really a discussion of state secrets, why did you?”
"You!" Concubine Jing was so angry that her face turned green. She wanted to glare at him, but she was attacked by four icicles at the same time. She did not dare to look at Huangfu Yifeng's sharp eyes at first, but later, even Huangfu Zhuoqing glanced at her expressionlessly and immediately turned around to ask for help." Your Majesty! Look! He didn't even use honorifics and even treated ChenQie as an outsider. Are you deliberately trying to anger ChenQie!”
Huangfu Zhuoqing snorted coldly. She was flattering herself. Outsiders? They were treating her as an enemy! Only this fatuous ruler would treat her as one of his own!
" Your Majesty, didn't you say," hurt by the two brothers 'cold air, Concubine Jing leaned into the Emperor's arms, not daring to look at their expressions," to let them greet me?" ChenQie is an elder, so I won't argue with them. If they say hello, ChenQie won't take this matter to heart.”
"Beloved Consort is really sensible!" The unreasonable Emperor praised with satisfaction. Seeing that Consort Jing had already "conceded", he quickly raised his head and said to the two brothers who had been building themselves up to be icebergs since they came in,"Zhuo Qing, Yi Feng, one of you is the Crown Prince, and the other is King Jing, but you have never bowed to Consort Jing. Two outstanding princes do not know etiquette. After all, she is your elder. Today, you should bow to your beloved concubine and put aside your grudges. Isn't that good?”
"Imperial Father, do you still treat your son as your imperial son?”Huangfu Zhuoqing had already guessed the Emperor's purpose for summoning them here today, so when the Emperor said this, he was not too shocked and asked in a neutral tone.
"This…"
"Your Majesty!" Seeing his hesitation, Concubine Jing panicked and urged him.
"Imperial son, zhen knows that it is not easy for you to forget that matter, but at that time, my beloved consort was also confused for a moment. Since she had the intention to repent, his son should give her a chance.”
Fasting and reflecting? Intentional repentance?
Huangfu Zhuoqing and Huangfu Yifeng looked at each other. They had thought that this old man was an ingrate when it came to matters of state. It turned out that he was also extremely stupid in the areas he was good at.
"If Imperial Father only summoned your son for this matter, then your son will take his leave first.”Huangfu Yifeng bowed and turned to leave.
"Your son will also take his leave." Huangfu Zhuoqing didn't want to stay any longer. He didn't want to see the two people in the pavilion.
" This... Your Majesty, Concubine Jing, His Highness and His Royal Highness were just too angry..." Bai Zhengting, who had come with them, quickly knelt down and pleaded for the two brothers. Not to mention Concubine Jing, the Emperor's face was getting uglier and uglier. It seemed like he was about to turn stiff. These two brothers were good in everything, but as long as their mother was involved, they would not even put the Emperor in their eyes!
"Stop! Do you still treat me as your father?”The Emperor was furious, and his submissive attitude towards Consort Jing changed as he shouted sternly. These two people were really getting more and more daring. He had persuaded them nicely, but they actually completely ignored him. No matter what, he was the emperor. How could he tolerate such disregard?
Bai Zhengting hung his head weakly. He had told them many times not to anger the Emperor no matter what happened. They just had to endure for a while. The world was the most important, but they just didn't listen. How could they deal with them now?
The two brothers, who had already walked out of the pavilion, stopped in their tracks and looked at each other.
As a father? Obviously, he didn't! Therefore, this sentence should be translated as 'Do you still want this Crown Prince?”The answer was still very obvious, yes!
Suppressing their anger, the two turned around, but they didn't look at the person in the pavilion. Huangfu Zhuoqing looked into the distance through the two of them, and Huangfu Yifeng turned his head elsewhere.
With this turn, he saw the two people in the bushes. A hint of surprise flashed in his dark eyes, but it was soon replaced by a bottomless darkness.
When they met Huangfu Yifeng's gaze, Lin and Xiao were shocked beyond words.
That gaze was cold, arrogant, deep, disdainful, and helpless.
Power…
At that moment, the two of them suddenly knew what the throne was.
Lin Yilan blinked her eyes lightly. Under such circumstances, Huangfu Yifeng actually did not capture them to divert everyone's attention…She had a feeling that she seemed to have come into contact with something that he had buried deep in his heart and refused to show it in front of others…
With her usual bright smile, Lin Yilan secretly cupped her fists at him to thank him for not telling her. Then, she threw a disdainful look at Concubine Jing and made a cheering gesture at him. Then, she was dragged into the grass by Xiao Qingying.
He was a little surprised to see that strange action in one go. His handsome face was no longer as tense as before, and a hint of a smile flashed across his black eyes. After she made such a fuss, his previous unhappiness eased a lot.
As for the reason why she was here, he would go back and settle the score.
He turned around and looked at the woman who was looking at them with her head tilted up, but there was an unknown smile in his eyes.
"Quickly come over and bow to my beloved consort. If you don't do it well, no one can leave today!”The Emperor's anger had not subsided, and his tone was still not tough.
"Just do it!" Bai Zhengting and the others whispered anxiously.
"I won't leave there…"
" Father." Huangfu Zhuoqing was about to reject him when he was stopped by Huangfu Yifeng. He sneered at Consort Jing, who was using her authority as a fox, and his eyes were cold." I've thought about it. She's considered an elder, so I should indeed pay my respects to her."”
"Wind!" Huangfu Zhuoqing shouted in confusion.
"You're still the sensible one!" The Emperor nodded in satisfaction. This younger brother was more frightening than his older brother!
