Chapter 214 Father, Your Majesty, I Request You to Abdicate 29
Inside the Jianzhang Palace, Emperor Cheng'an bent over his desk and wrote two large characters "Read" in a flamboyant style on a memorial. Then he casually threw the memorial aside and took another one.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he turned his gaze to Xia Sheng who came in with a tray. He seemed unchanged, but he was extremely dangerous.
"Just bring him back because the Queen asked you to?" Emperor Cheng'an's words were light and his tone was unusually gentle.
However, beneath this gentle tone, it seemed as if there was a man-eating beast hidden, which made people shudder.
Xia Sheng only felt that the clothes on his back were soaked with cold sweat, and he felt that the gentle tone seemed to devour his soul.
"Send the things to Lin'an. My Lin'an is the most noble child in the world. No one except me has the right to make her follow the rules, and no one has the right to teach her the rules. Others can only bow down to her and greet her."
Emperor Cheng'an's voice revealed undisguised arrogance and coldness, as if announcing to the world the dignity of Lin'an.
Queen? Only the one he recognized was the queen. Otherwise, she was just a senior butler. How dare she act so arrogantly?
"Yes." Su Qin looked at the sweaty Xia Sheng silently and sighed in her heart. This stupid disciple, if it weren't for the prince and the eldest princess, who would the queen be?
"Lin'an will attend the Luming Banquet, right?" Emperor Cheng'an's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He glanced straight at Su Qin. It seemed like he was asking, but in fact, he was expressing his unquestionable affirmation.
"The eldest princess will definitely attend." Su Qin answered without hesitation, fearing that she would be late and lose her head.
"Yes." Emperor Cheng'an signaled with his eyes that Su Qin could leave, and then looked at the open memorial in his hand.
Walking on the palace road leading to Wuyou Palace, Xia Sheng trotted to catch up with Su Qin, his eyes full of confusion and anxiety.
"Master?" His eyes were full of doubt. Is His Majesty trying to slap the Empress in the face? They sent this thing to Wuyou Palace with such fanfare, how could anyone not know?
"As a servant, the most important thing is to know who your master is. No matter if you are a servant in front of the emperor or a master or lady in the harem, they all have only one sky for each other. You have to learn from them well." Su Qin's words were meaningful.
If the queen can use filial piety to suppress the princess, then your majesty can do the same. Moreover, there are many tricks involved.
"This still requires the guidance of the master." Xia Sheng showed a flattering smile, looking like a lackey, but he kept Su Qin's words in his heart.
"Go and get the thirty lashes of the cane later." Su Qin said lightly, with disgust written all over his face. If this wasn't his nephew, he really wouldn't want to see him, idiot!
"Yes, I'll take note of it." Xia Sheng's smile became more sincere, and he knew clearly in his heart that the matter was over.
Su Qin was a scheming person. She paraded through the city with the rewards, as if she wanted the entire palace to see it clearly.
The ceremony was carried out with great fanfare and fanfare; the news had already spread throughout the inner court before anyone even stepped into Wuyou Palace.
Every time I come to Wuyou Palace, I feel like my eyes are not enough to see the priceless yet low-key furnishings.
In my heart, I couldn't help but sigh with admiration for His Majesty's favor towards the eldest princess, which was truly incomparable.
One thousand followers, each of them is carefully selected and elite, one is worth ten, that is a treatment that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not even have.
"Eunuch Su, why are you here?" Mei Ruo came out from the inner room with a frown on her face, but when she saw Su Qin coming over, she still showed a smile on her face.
"His Majesty ordered me to come and see the eldest princess. Is everything okay?" Su Qin said, pointing behind her. "Those are all carefully selected by His Majesty for you."
Meiruo looked in the direction of Su Qin's finger, and saw at the top a complete set of black formal clothes with black bird patterns. The specifications were so high that they could be worn by the prince as court attire, except for slight differences in the details.
The few pieces that the queen said she wanted to get rid of in the morning were also among them, but they were pressed at the bottom. All the other accessories were exquisite and looked like something the princess would like.
"Your Highness is safe and sound. Eunuch Su, please take a rest first. I will report to Your Highness immediately. As for whether I can meet Your Highness, it is not up to me to decide." Mei Ruo said softly, with a frown on her face.
"It's okay. If I disturb Your Highness, it will be my fault." Su Qin said, and did not stop Mei Ruo from entering the inner room.
Meiruo walked briskly around the screen and saw Jiuli leaning on a soft pillow, reading a secret letter disguised as a gossip.
"What's the matter?" Jiuli didn't even raise her head, her white fingertips slowly turned the pages of the book, her tone was irritable.
"Eunuch Su in the imperial court has brought people here to deliver clothes and jewelry to Your Highness. I heard that His Majesty has another order." Meiruo picked up the round fan on the footstool and waved it gently.
"Change clothes." Jiuli destroyed the secret letter and stood up.
Two quarters of an hour later, Jiuli walked out of the inner room. Her steps were slow but seemed to step on people's hearts, giving people inexplicable pressure.
"I pay my respects to His Highness." Su Qin quickly put down the teacup in her hand, stood up and bowed in the direction of the visitor.
"No need to be so polite." Jiuli gave Meiruo a wink.
Meiruo understood and walked out from behind Jiuli. Before Su Qin finished her greetings, she helped her up and stood up.
"His Majesty has ordered me to give you a gift and tell you that the Luming Banquet will be held at the Imperial Garden in the suburbs at 5 p.m., and I hope you will attend." Su Qin said after slightly changing Emperor Cheng'an's words. "The Crown Prince and the Second Princess will also be there."
"I understand. Is there anything else?" Jiuli took a look at the robe that was taken by the eunuch under the command of Meiya, and understood what was going on.
"Your Majesty asked whether the princess is doing well these days?" Su Qin lowered his eyelids and spoke in an extremely gentle voice. In his heart, there was only the master favored by His Majesty, and he did not recognize anyone else.
"Of course it's great. Tell Dad that I like it very much." Well, in that case, she might as well change the plan a little.
"That's good. Your Majesty is worried about the princess. There were too many things to do in the harem before the dynasty, so he couldn't spare time to see the princess. But he asked the imperial physician every day, and he was relieved that the princess was fine." He embellished it a little. As for whether Emperor Cheng'an asked? That's not important.
"Your Majesty still needs my service, I will take my leave." Su Qin bowed slightly and slowly backed away before turning around and leaving.
Xia Sheng was very surprised when he heard the conversation between his master and the eldest princess. He exclaimed that he had learned something. No wonder his master was able to stay with His Majesty for so long. What a powerful statement!
Before she had walked far, she heard Mei's voice from behind her. Then a thick purse was stuffed into Su Qin's hand, and Mei disappeared in a few seconds like a little rabbit.
Su Qin opened the purse in her hand and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"One copy per person, and what happened today must not be spread outside." He put away his own copy and threw the rest to Xia Sheng.
"I understand." The remaining few people said with joy flashing in their eyes.
"Put it away," he paused before continuing, "Wear this casual dress with the black bird pattern today," he said with a smile in his eyes.
"Yes." Meiruo responded and personally put the things away and registered them in a book so that she could look them up later.
