Chapter 176 Shame
As soon as the wine glass was picked up, the prince knew it was broken. The weakness of his entire hand made it too late for him to react, and the wine glass fell.
咣 is a crisp sound, which is particularly clear in the hall.
There was silence in the hall, and countless lines of sight came over and saw a white jade wine glass rolling around.
Originally, it was a trivial matter to drop the glass, but this was at the reception banquet for the envoy Yuliu, and it was the prince who threw the glass. Down the hall spread.
The prince forced a smile: "Sorry, I accidentally slipped my hand just now, everyone continue, continue."
Baiguan's eyes were subtle, and he couldn't help but quietly glance at the prince's left hand.
The rumor is actually true, the prince's left hand is really broken!
This discovery made all the ministers feel different and speechless for a while.
Emperor Tai'an's eyes were as deep as abyss, he glanced at the prince, and then raised a glass to Prince Yuliu: "This journey is a long way, the prince has worked hard."
Prince Yuliu raised his glass with a smile, as if nothing had happened: "To appreciate the beautiful scenery of your country all the way, Xiao Wang doesn't feel hard at all."
Several courtiers also raised their glasses and took turns toasting to the Yuliu envoys, and the scene resumed lively.
After the banquet was over, Emperor Tai'an called the prince to the imperial study: "You have lost your respect in front of Prince Yuliu, you really lost Da Zhou's face!"
The Crown Prince was originally worried, but being scolded by Emperor Tai'an like this, he felt aggrieved: "My son doesn't want to, who made my son's left hand abolish."
Emperor Tai'an didn't feel distressed after hearing this, but became more angry: "I know there is a problem with my left hand, why do I use my left hand to hold the cup?"
The prince was suffocated by the question, and said embarrassingly: "It is inevitable that there will be a time to forget-"
"Huh!" Emperor Tai'an sneered and interrupted the prince's sophistry, "I was distracted by watching Princess Yuliu, so I forgot?"
The prince's face immediately turned into a pig's liver color: "Son didn't—"
Emperor Tai'an was too lazy to listen to the prince's weak rebuttal, and said coldly: "You are the prince of Dazhou, the heir of a country, have you seen so few stunning people? It is too embarrassing to be seduced by a woman on this occasion and lose her temper in front of others. disappointed!"
These words are not too serious, the prince's face is extremely ugly, and he is very unconvinced. .
I have seen a lot of stunning people, but very few of them belong to him, let alone the newly married crown princess with a big cake face, which makes me unappetizing.
He suspected that his father was dissatisfied with him and deliberately tortured him.
The anger in the prince's expression made Tai'an feel cold.
Being embarrassed in front of the Gentiles does not know how to introspect, but instead feels wronged, this **** really can’t support the wall.
The scene of King Wei Yan Xiaoyan at the reception feast flashed through his mind, and Emperor Tai'an couldn't help but be fascinated.
The prince quietly observed Emperor Tai'an's expression, inexplicably flustered, lowered his head and said indifferently: "Father, my son knows it's wrong."
Emperor Tai'an returned to his senses, and watched the prince who bowed his head to admit his mistake, whose shaky mind stabilized, and solemnly warned: "You are the prince, and during Prince Yuliu's visit, it is inevitable to deal with each other, and today's incident must not happen again."
The prince promised again and again that when he returned to the East Palace, it was another attack.
Prince Concubine is too ugly and doesn't want to go. In the end, the prince hid in the dormitory, and Wang Fu served and served Wu Huixun, so he put his unhappiness behind him.
Prince Yuliu and his party were accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple to the arranged Honglu Guest House. After waiting for the outsiders, Princess Lingque sank: "Brother Wang, did you see that Da Zhou Prince? Always stare at me in the face, with a wretched look!"
Prince Yuliu smiled slightly: "The prince of Da Zhou is not very good. If he is smart, capable and self-control, it will not be good for us Yuliu."
is not limited by his strength. Which country would like to be a younger brother forever?
Princess Lingque nodded in agreement, and said happily: "Fortunately, the father and the king have no plans to let me marry the Prince of Great Zhou."
Prince Yuliu glanced at his sister and said something: "If you really have this plan, won't Wang Mei not listen to her father?"
Princess Lingque curled the corners of her lips and said lightly, "Of course I will listen to what your father says."
Prince Yuliu smiled: "No wonder the father loves his sister the most."
This time, he and his sister came with a mission. He wanted to see the truth of Da Zhou for his father, while his younger sister wanted to use her marriage to stir up trouble. When the most suitable target is selected, it can be chosen by the younger sister, perhaps the target is not as good as the Prince of Zhou.
"Don't worry, Brother Wang, I know the severity." Princess Lingque's facial features are delicate and agile, with a soft and sweet temperament, but at this moment she is cold.
In Yuliu, women are particularly contemptible, even if she is a much-loved princess, when she gets married, she can only obey her husband. It is rare to have such an opportunity to serve the country. Her father and king also promised to give her a status no lower than that of her brothers. She will only try her best to seize it, and she will not feel wronged.
The news of Princess Yuliu's stunning beauty spread quickly with the end of the reception banquet. When the princes and ladies of various prefectures received the news that they were going to hold a banquet in Fuxiang Garden, it was inevitable that they would expect to see the beauty of an exotic princess.
In the General's Mansion, Mrs. Lin was complaining to her daughter, who was dressed up for the banquet: "Who made the rules, why are only you little girls going?"
She also wanted to see how good-looking Princess Yuliu was.
The old lady's face sank: "You don't want to join in the fun. The yamen has asked you twice about the headless female corpse in Tianyuan Temple."
Lin's embarrassment: "I'm just talking. By the way, the young sons of each government should also go to accompany Prince Yuliu. Although there will be separate banquets at that time, but after all, it is in a garden. Ah, you have to remind Prince Jing of Prince Jing. , don't walk around."
Some things have to be guarded against.
Lin Hao smiled: "Mother, don't worry, the prince is unwell, this banquet will not be able to go."
Having troubles in his previous life, Qi Shuo directly chose to avoid it, and the reason is easy to find. After all, everyone knows that Prince Jing is weak and sick is a common occurrence.
Lin's expression changed slightly.
Son-in-law is sick again?
Then she is even more worried!
"Ah good-"
"The little princess is still waiting for me, I'll go first." Lin Hao knew what his mother wanted to say, so he left quickly.
The carriage of Prince Jing's mansion was parked outside the gate. The second son, Qi Huan, was standing beside the carriage with his horse. When he saw the carriage of the General's mansion coming out, he knocked on the wall of the carriage: "Sister-in-law is out."
Qi Qiong lifted the curtains of the car and waved at Lin Hao who was looking out of the car window: "Well, why don't we take a carriage, we can still talk on the road."
"OK."
Seeing Lin Hao agree, Qi Qiongli got off the carriage: "Second brother, I'm going to sit with Ah Hao."
"Hey—" Before Qi Huan could speak, he saw that his sister had already entered the car of the General's Mansion.
He looked at the empty carriage beside him, and then at the horse he was leading, suddenly feeling a little sad.
Sister-in-law hasn't even come in yet, and his status has dropped again!
