The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly-Chapter 1074 - 409: My Husband Is the Supporting Male Lead (Part 8)

Chapter 1074: Chapter 409: My Husband Is the Supporting Male Lead (Part 8)

The Emperor is not an ignorant child, nor a fool!

On the wedding night, the groom gets drunk?

It’s simply absurd!

The guests attending the wedding feast, unless they have a grudge against the groom, wouldn’t do such a thing!

Zhou Jin is a transparent figure in the Imperial Palace, almost forgotten by the Emperor before bestowing him in marriage.

But, he is still the Emperor’s own son, and having been favored by He Jing, the Emperor decided to investigate.

It wasn’t a very detailed investigation, the Emperor only simply learned about his seventh son, who has a humble maternal family, yet did not develop a timid and cowardly nature.

He can’t be said to be fully competent, but he’s not entirely useless either.

The strongest impression he gives is likely one of elegance and honesty.

For an unspoiled Prince, being simple and dutiful is best.

The Emperor isn’t highly satisfied with Zhou Jin, but doesn’t particularly dislike him either.

However, at this moment, looking at the Seventh Prince, whose face is pale and whose forehead emits cold sweat, the Emperor can’t help squinting his eyes.

Drunk on his wedding night?

Even delaying such an important matter as consummation with the bride?!

Was it unintentional, or deliberate?

Laoqi, does he have an opinion on the marriage I bestowed upon him?

Pretending to be drunk, avoiding consummation, thereby embarrassing the bride?!

Well, it’s possible that Zhou Jin really was made drunk by others.

After all, he was a transparent Prince before, without a powerful maternal family, without imperial favor, yet able to marry the beloved daughter of General He who holds military power.

Perhaps some Prince, out of jealousy or hidden hatred, deliberately found someone to target Zhou Jin.

But, no matter how unspoiled Zhou Jin is, he is still a Prince.

Others look down on him, but does he not know to stand up for himself?

Being made drunk at one’s own wedding feast shows such incompetence! Such uselessness?

...Therefore, whether Zhou Jin pretended to be drunk or was truly made drunk, it displeases the Emperor.

The former is an attitude problem, the latter a capability issue.

The Emperor himself is mediocre and has no outstanding political achievements in his twenty years of reign.

Yet he values capable people greatly.

Among the ministers, there are brave and battle-skilled people like He Jing.

Among the Princes, the Emperor also favors the literarily and martially capable Crown Prince and the confident and outspoken Sixth Prince.

The Seventh Prince Zhou Jin... alas, he indeed draws disdain.

The Emperor silently sighed within his heart.

Originally, he still wished to give the chance to Laoqi, allowing him to learn well under his father-in-law He Jing.

Perhaps in the future, he could share the He Family’s military power and become the ’War God’ of their Zhou royal family.

But now, just one wedding night has turned out like this, the Emperor no longer has any expectations for Zhou Jin.

Forget it, let him be a carefree Prince, living well with the Third Lady from the He Family, serving as a bridge between the Royal Family and Marquis Nanning’s Mansion!

"Thank Your Majesty for the grace!"

Just as these thoughts flashed swiftly through the Emperor’s mind, He Tiantian had already respectfully knelt down, solemnly thanking the Emperor.

"Haha!"

Seeing He Tiantian’s eager look, the Emperor, who had been a bit depressed earlier, was instantly amused.

"Good! I’ll grant you this grace!"

Alas, rather than worrying over an ungrateful son, it’s better to joke around with the precious daughter of He Jing.

At least this child is sincere and pure; even when facing the Emperor, she shows no pretense or scheming.

Having seen many with complex thoughts and deep schemes, a straightforward little troublemaker like "He Tian" seems somewhat charming.

Moreover, there’s a Great General He Jing behind her.

It’s nearing autumn, and once autumn and winter arrive, the Hulu will invade.

The Northwest Army led by He Jing is the largest barrier for the Dayuan Dynasty, with the Northwest Army present, the Hulu dare not act too recklessly.

Thinking of the border troubles, the Emperor’s good mood dropped a bit.

Forget it, it’s a joyous day, don’t think about these things.

"I’ll issue an edict immediately, letting those guests from last night taste the feeling of being drunk!"

Whether it’s fondness through association or finding it fresh, today, the Emperor’s impression of "He Tian" is particularly good.

For He Tiantian’s mischievous request, he surprisingly cooperates well.

He delivered the verbal order on the spot and presented more than ten jars of excellent Hundred-Day Drunk.

This is the strongest liquor at present, said to be able to knock a person out with just one cup.

Maybe it’s exaggerated, but Hundred-Day Drunk indeed gets one drunk more easily than ordinary alcohol.

"Great! Hmph, let those people bully our family’s Prince!"

He Tiantian continued portraying an arrogant and domineering daughter.

Zhou Jin: ...It’s over! This time I really offended half of the nobility!
