The row of guards waiting in full formation was actually blocked by the King of Banquets. No wonder the princess almost shouted at the top of her lungs inside, and no guards came in. With such a giant Buddha standing in the way, who would dare to rush in without risking their lives? When Xiao Tingyan heard the footsteps, he turned back his gaze and turned to look at the noble disciple. With a frivolous look on his face, he asked casually: "Is something wrong?"

The noble boy was so frightened that his face turned pale. His knees softened and he knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowing to Xiao Tingyan. "Yan...His Royal Highness King Yan..." "Yes...it's the princess...she's calling the guards..." "Xiao Tingyan sneered coldly. Without looking at the aristocratic children, he asked Shi Li to stand outside, "Watch them. No one is allowed to enter the palace without my order. Anyone who disturbs without permission will be shot without mercy..." Shi Li He nodded softly and responded softly: "I obey..." Xiao Tingyan stepped forward and walked step by step in front of the noble children. He stood still and stared at the noble children condescendingly: "Aren't you here to attend the princess's birthday banquet? Stop kneeling and go in together to congratulate Princess Jiarong on her birthday."

The noble boy was so frightened that he did not dare to say a word. He raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He obediently got up from the ground, softened his legs, and followed Xiao Tingyan into the palace. Jiarong The princess was still shouting. When she heard the footsteps, she didn't even raise her head. She directly picked up a small bench in front of her and threw it towards the door of the palace. "A bunch of useless trash... I shouted for a long time before you guys came in. Do you want to die?"

The noble boy's eyelids jumped. Seeing that the bench was about to hit Xiao Tingyan, he exclaimed and without thinking, he stepped forward and blocked Xiao Tingyan. The small bench hit him hard. He was so painful that he fell to the ground. Xiao Tingyan raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that this playboy would actually block the attack for him. His eyes were meaningful, and there was also a bit of approval. Although a noble boy, although he was It hurt a little from being hit, but when he saw Xiao Tingyan's approving eyes, he felt that blocking the bench was worth the pain. All the guests at the banquet were shocked. The princess almost hit the king of the banquet just now. The princess was so Suddenly they were in big trouble. They all stood up and knelt down to salute Xiao Tingyan. Xiao Tingyan raised his eyes and didn't let those people get up. He looked coldly at Princess Jiarong, who had turned pale and was almost stunned. "Princess Jiarong, you are so arrogant. For those who don't know, I thought you were the emperor, and that you were the superior king of the Southern Crown Prince. What's the matter, are you trying to kill even me?"

Princess Jiarong's heart skipped a beat. She shook her head quickly, her eyes turning red: "Yan...Uncle Yan, this is all a misunderstanding. I...I just thought the people who came in were those stupid people." Where are the guards who are like pigs? I...I am angry at them, not at you, uncle emperor."

Xiao Tingyan curled his lips and smiled mockingly. "Oh, it turns out that in your eyes, you still have me as your imperial uncle."

"I thought that since you got the favor of the emperor, you have become so arrogant and ignorant that your eyes have reached to the sky. Since you still recognize me as the emperor's uncle, shouldn't you bow when you see me? ah?"

Princess Jiarong's cheeks were extremely red. In full view of everyone, she quickly walked up to Xiao Tingyan and blessed him. Xiao Tingyan narrowed her eyes and sneered coldly: "A princess of the same country, she actually doesn't even know the royal etiquette." Can’t even do it?”

Princess Jiarong was extremely panicked. She didn't spend much time with this imperial uncle. She had only seen him remotely a few times before, and had never had such a tit-for-tat confrontation with him. In terms of seniority, The crushing forced her to lower her head temporarily to the imperial uncle. Princess Jiarong lifted up her complicated dress and respectfully gave Xiao Tingyan a three-kneeling and nine-kowtow ceremony. Xiao Tingyan did not let her get up, but He walked straight to Yun Luan. He stretched out his hand towards Yun Luan. Yun Luan didn't know why and looked at him with some confusion. Xiao Tingyan curled her lips and smiled softly. He took the initiative to grab Yun Luan's hand and held her. Walking towards the high position in front. When passing Princess Jiarong, she raised her head in disbelief and stared at Xiao Tingyan holding Yun Luan's fingers tightly. Xiao Tingyan stopped in front of Princess Jiarong. "Just now, I seem to have heard that you want the Lord of Taiping County to kneel down and salute you, right? Jiarong, have you forgotten that the County Lord is already my princess?"

"Her identity is now Princess Yan. In terms of seniority, she should be your imperial aunt... How dare you let your imperial aunt kneel down and salute you?"

Princess Jiarong's body stiffened, and a bit of panic flashed through her eyes. She didn't know how to answer. Only now did she remember that Yun Luan and Prince Yan seemed to have been given a marriage by their father. Then Yun Luan...she Already Princess Yan? Her heart suddenly fell to the bottom. Yun Feng held a tea cup and sneered and replied: "The prince is right, the princess really wanted Luan'er to kneel down and salute to her just now. Luan'er didn't listen to her, so she got angry and shouted to call the guards, asking them to give Luan'er fifty big sticks."

Chen Yonghe's wife sang and then added: "We have never had any grudges with the princess, and we don't know why the princess has so much resentment towards our general's mansion... Those who don't know will think that Luan'er is rude. , did not salute the princess. In fact, it was clearly the princess who was deliberately targeting Luan'er to embarrass her..." Yun Feng smiled brightly, his eyes full of sarcasm: "Fortunately, the King of Yan showed up in time, otherwise Luan'er would be embarrassed today. , he should have walked out of the princess mansion safely without his life, right?"

Princess Jiarong's face suddenly turned pale. She wanted to explain, but she didn't seem to know how. "No, that's not it. I didn't want her life?"

Xiao Tingyan looked at her coldly, his eyes filled with overwhelming anger. "Princess Jiarong, you are so majestic today. It is true that you are favored by the imperial brother now. This banquet was held for you by the imperial brother. "Yes, that's not bad. However, you can't get carried away and forget your identity and the royal rules..." "The Princess of Taiping County is your royal aunt. You can just salute her, but you dare to ask her to do it." Kneel down? Jiarong, do you think you can withstand her kneeling down?"

Princess Jiarong's eyes were red, and she felt very wronged. But she could not resist Xiao Tingyan. Although she was a princess, and she had received the favor now, Xiao Tingyan was one generation older than her, which was something she could not overcome or overcome. A big mountain. She was very unconvinced in her heart, but she had to bow her head in submission. "I...I forgot about the marriage between her and the emperor. Uncle, please calm down. I was confused and did something ridiculous." Can I just apologize to the head of Taiping County?"

"There is no need to apologize. I don't think you will be too sincere. Since you like to kneel, then keep kneeling until the emperor comes to the princess's residence."

Without looking at Princess Jiarong, Xiao Tingyan took Yun Luan's hand and found a spacious and comfortable first-class seat to sit down. Princess Jiarong was so angry that she was shaking. She was a majestic princess of a country, in front of so many people, She actually has to kneel on the ground all the time? What does Xiao Tingyan mean by this? Is this to punish her to kneel down to vent her anger on Yun Luan? Princess Jiarong was really about to explode with anger. She clenched her fists, but she dared to get angry She dared not say anything. She couldn't resist Xiao Tingyan, so she could only suffer the loss of being dumb for the time being. When her father and Empress Wan came, she would make Xiao Tingyan and Yun Luan look good! This couple, wait for her! All the guests were watching. , everyone was silent, no one dared to speak for Princess Jiarong easily. Xiao Tingyan looked gentle, smiled and asked the guests to sit down... No one dared to disobey Xiao Tingyan, they thanked each other and sat down, not daring to breathe. Prince Duan was there. At this time, he led Feng Hai and Fang Qingci into the main hall. When he saw Princess Jiarong kneeling in the center of the hall, who dared to be angry but dared not speak, a bit of darkness flashed across his eyes. Pretending to be confused, he asked casually : "What's wrong with Jiarong? Why are you kneeling on the ground? Today you are the birthday princess..." Princess Jiarong turned around and saw Prince Duan, who was not familiar with her. Her eyes couldn't help but turn a little red. She He pouted, glanced at Xiao Tingyan timidly, and replied in a low voice: "I did something wrong, and the emperor punished me by kneeling down to apologize."

Prince Duan suddenly came over, he smiled, looked at Xiao Tingyan, and pleaded for Princess Jiarong in a gentle voice. "Uncle, Jiarong is young and she doesn't do some things right. You should be more generous and don't argue with her." .She is the birthday girl today, you ask her to kneel down and get up, so as not to let outsiders see the royal joke."

Princess Jiarong was grateful and choked up with tears in her eyes. "Thank you, the eldest brother, for interceding for me... It was just a misunderstanding between me and the Lord of Taiping County. Uncle Huang was really too harsh on me..." Prince Duan sighed helplessly. He looked at Xiao Tingyan and ignored him. He seemed to regard him as a breath of air. His face couldn't help but darken a little. "Uncle, you are definitely going to make trouble. This banquet will not end happily." Are you going to leave? My father is coming soon, even if you don’t look out for my sake, you should do it for my father’s sake, right?”

Xiao Tingyan raised his eyes impatiently and glanced at Prince Duan lightly. "Eldest nephew, why didn't I notice before that you were so nosy? Jiarong did something wrong. As her imperial uncle, I Why can't we punish her?"

"Speaking of rules and etiquette, you have not greeted me since you entered the palace. I think you should take care of yourself first and then worry about others..." Xiao Tingyan's words made Prince Duan angry. , and was immediately speechless. His face changed again and again, extremely ugly. He secretly gritted his teeth, suppressed the anger in his heart, cupped his fists and bowed to Xiao Tingyan. "Greetings to the emperor uncle..." Xiao Tingyan ignored him. Prince Duan didn't say no courtesy. He was minding his own business, poured a cup of tea for Yun Luan, and brought it in front of her. "The tea is warm, not hot..." Yun Luan's eyes flickered and he glanced at Prince Duan. With an ugly expression on her face, she almost couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud. Being senior seems to be very useful! Even though Prince Duan is now the Prince of Five Pearls, he still has to bow his head and bend down when he sees Xiao Tingyan... This kind of thing It is estimated that only he can feel the frustration. Xiao Tingyan did not say goodbye, Duanwang kept bending over, and his waist gradually became a little numb. Fang Qingci stood behind, frowning slightly, and a flash of light passed through his eyes. A bit angry. This banquet king has gone too far. How could he humiliate her prince like this? The scene was in a stalemate. Someone outside was singing to announce the arrival of the emperor and Concubine Wan. Everyone at the banquet stood up one after another. Welcoming the emperor and Concubine Wan. The emperor was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and Concubine Wan was wearing a light purple brocade dress. They walked into the palace hand in hand with the emperor. As soon as she walked in, she saw Princess Jiarong kneeling on the ground. Her eyes were red and she was looking at her aggrievedly. Concubine Wan frowned, and couldn't help but feel a little worried in her eyes. She let go of the emperor's hand and walked quickly to Princess Jiarong: "Jiarong, what are you doing? Alright? Okay, why are you kneeling on the ground?"

"The ground is cold. Get up quickly and don't break your body from your knees."

Princess Jiarong saw that Concubine Wan felt so sorry for her, and she could no longer control her grievances. All of them came flooding back. She threw herself into Concubine Wan's arms and burst into tears. "Oh, Concubine Wan..." You're here. If you and my father don't come here, I'm afraid I will die on my knees here today."

"I knew that I had some conflicts with Emperor Yan and the Lord of Taiping County, but I had already knelt down and apologized to them. As a result, they still refused to let me, a princess, kneel there all the time. Make people look like a clown..." Concubine Wan's face darkened slightly. She glanced at Xiao Tingyan, who was sitting not far away and did not stand up at all, saluting her and the emperor. She held the handkerchief and said: Princess Jiarong wiped the tears on her face and sighed as she asked Xiao Tingyan. "Prince Banquet... what happened to make you angry at this little girl Jiarong? If she did something wrong, as an elder, you , you should be more understanding. She is the birthday girl today, how can you make her kneel down in front of everyone?"

"You did go a bit too far in this matter."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a heartbreaking coughing sound from King Duan. King Duan's body tilted, his face was pale, and he leaned on Feng Hai's shoulder. He covered his mouth and kept coughing. In the eyes of the emperor A bit worried: "Jing'er, you're not in good health, it's okay if you don't come to Jiarong's birthday banquet... Since you're not feeling well, just find a side hall and have a good rest."

As he spoke, he asked Eunuch Zhou to send someone to arrange a place for Prince Duan to rest. Fang Qingci secretly gritted her teeth and boldly said: "Your Majesty, originally my prince was in very good condition today. Who knew that the prince was just for Princess Jiarong just said some words, and the King of Banquet vented his anger on my prince..." "The prince greeted him, but he didn't say goodbye for a long time. The prince's health was not good, and he felt a little uncomfortable after standing here for a long time. Can’t stand it any longer.”

King Duan scolded fiercely and interrupted Fang Qingci: "Shut up, is it your turn to speak here?"

Fang Qingci's eyes turned red with grievance: "I...I'm just worried about the prince and feel aggrieved for the prince."

King Duan clenched his fist and pressed it against his thin lips. He couldn't help coughing a few more times. He supported his body and looked at the emperor with a smile on his lips: "Father, don't listen to her nonsense...Uncle Yanhuang didn't It’s half of the intention to embarrass my son and minister.”

"There are some things that, after all, we juniors lacked consideration and somehow offended the emperor's uncle. The emperor's uncle was angry and reprimanded us. This is what we deserve..." Xiao Tingyan curled his lips and smiled softly. He smiled and clapped his hands. "What King Duan said is really beautiful... I admire you for being such a broad prime minister and having such a big heart. Even though I am your elder, I admire you so much." I'm not as tolerant as you..." "I like to care about every detail and will retaliate. Anyone who dares to be disrespectful to me will be repaid a thousand times a hundred times! Jiarong offended my princess, and I will retaliate. Of course I want to get it back... King Duan wants to pretend to be a good person and show his virtuous and tolerant side, wouldn't it be a pity if I don't give you a chance?"

Prince Duan's expression changed, and he clenched his fists tightly. How could he not know before that Xiao Tingyan, a sick man, could be so eloquent? Yun Luan's eyes flashed, and he glanced at Xiao Tingyan with a smile. After all the fuss, Yaizhen must repay this, they The two had the same idea. Xiao Tingyan felt Yun Luan's gaze, and he felt the connection, so he turned to look at her. The two looked at each other and smiled, quite a bit of understanding. King Duan noticed them. His eyes darkened at the ambiguous look between the two of them, and a touch of jealousy flashed in his eyes. He lowered his head and apologized: "It was my fault, it was me who was meddling in other people's business!"

The emperor's face looked a little ugly. He frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Why did Jiarong offend Princess Yan?"

The left prime minister Song Hui immediately went out and explained the cause and effect of the matter in a very objective manner. No one present raised any objections. Originally, in their opinion, today's matter was a good one at the beginning. Princess Rong just went too far. Even if Yun Luan is not Princess Yan, just because of her status as the county head, and because the general of the country and the eldest son just died, Princess Jiarong should not rely on the princess's pretensions to give The General's Mansion is such a huge embarrassment. The General's Mansion is full of loyal ministers and good generals who have made great contributions to the Southern Reserve. In such a General's Mansion, let alone a princess, even the emperor would not dare to be there. In full view of the public, she bullied the General's Mansion in this way. If the people knew what Princess Jiarong had just done, she would definitely have offended the public. Nowadays, no one in Kyoto City knows that the people support the General's Mansion, and their hearts are full of it. Towards the General's Mansion. If anyone dares to bully the General's Mansion, the common people will be the first to refuse. Just because they thought of this, the emperor and Concubine Wan's expressions did not look good. Especially when they heard that , Mrs. Liu knelt down and kowtowed to Jiarong, their expressions even more ugly. Concubine Wan's eyes flashed with anger. This Jiarong really has no brains. Neither she nor the emperor dared to blatantly bully the general. Mansion, where did she get the courage to dare to challenge the General's Mansion so openly? Concubine Wan's face was filled with anger. She had more important plans tonight. She must not let Jiarong, Ruining her plan. There was a coldness in her eyes, she let go of Princess Jiarong's arm, raised her hand without saying a word, and slapped her: "It turns out that you disrespected the general's wife first. Although you are a The princess, but the general’s wife, is a first-class wife. When she was young, she was also a female general who was not inferior to men."

"Whether it is the husband's family or the mother's family, they are all loyal and loyal families to the Southern Crown Prince. It is too late for me and your father to respect her. How dare you, a little princess, let the general's wife kneel down to you? Let alone He said, you also asked the head of Taiping County, the prospective princess, to give you a big gift. Jiarong, you really don’t know what to say, and you do evil things just because you are a princess."
