Although the fourth prince was not scolded, everyone knew that he and Lao Liu had always been inseparable, and there was no difference between talking about Lao Liu and talking about him.
After this experience, those who got the gifts were all smiles. As for those who didn't get the gifts, they pretended to be calm but were embarrassed in their hearts, and did not dare to make any accusations.
At first, those who didn't get the gifts felt embarrassed. Later, when they found that most of the people in the palace didn't get the gifts, everyone no longer felt embarrassed. Even the seventh prince didn't get the gifts. What should they be embarrassed about?
.
It's just a somewhat expensive gift from two unimportant people, so what's the big deal?
It doesn’t matter if they don’t have gifts, they have integrity!
The queen felt her chest tightening as she watched Hua Yanxi move around the entire hall with ease.
She planned to let Hua Yanxi, a businesswoman with no identity, see the backgrounds of other princes and concubines so that she would be ashamed to death, but she was not brought here to seek connections.
Seeing the happy smiles of those who received the gifts and their good sister-in-law looks, the queen frowned and looked at the emperor aside: "Your Majesty, this is not appropriate for the fifth prince and concubine to do this."
When the emperor heard this, he looked serious and nodded: "That's right."
The queen was delighted when she heard this. Is the emperor on her side?
Then she won't flatten and round Hua Yanxi today?
While he was getting excited, he heard the emperor say with displeasure: "When you see your brothers and sisters, you know that you need to give gifts when we meet for the first time, but why didn't you think of giving gifts when you first met me?"
There was a bit of resentment in her eyes when she looked at Hua Yanxi, and even more pitiful when she looked at Ye Yibai.
He also wants gifts from his son, daughter-in-law, and even his grandchildren.
The queen's mouth opened, and her whole body suddenly became a little depressed.
Her original intention was to say that it was inappropriate for a businesswoman like Hua Yanxi to use expensive gifts to win people's hearts, but she did not expect that the emperor's focus was that she failed to get the gift.
Does he really care about those gifts? He is the emperor and cannot get anything he wants.
What he cared about most was that man's son!
Even though he is now so stupid that he can't even call anyone.
When Hua Yanxi heard the emperor's words, her pupils dilated slightly, as if she had heard something unbelievable.
An emperor asks for a gift from one of his ministers, what's his face?
But she could antagonize the prince, but she didn't dare to antagonize the emperor. So, Hua Yanxi turned her head, looked at Ye Yibai, and gave him a slight signal: Come on.
Ye Yibai blinked at her, then looked at the man on the high platform and said impatiently: "Who are you?"
Hua Yanxi's originally peaceful face suddenly froze, and she looked at Ye Yibai as if she had seen a ghost.
Brother, are you trying too hard?
If Hua Yanxi just froze, then everyone in the hall, including the other princes, princesses and concubines, suddenly held their breath.
This fool is here again.
In the past, this fool would cause trouble every time he entered the palace.
Originally, they thought that there would be no accidents today, but they did not expect that they would go one step further and directly ask who the emperor was.
Who else can be the person who can chop off your head without asking why?
When the emperor heard Ye Yibai talking to him, his face softened and he couldn't help but feel happy. However, looking at the frightened eyes of those around him, he immediately suppressed his expression and said solemnly and indifferently: "I am your father!"
Ye Yibai sneered: "I don't know."
How could the emperor not know that he did it on purpose, so he could only ignore him, looked at Hua Yanxi, and said dissatisfied: "Is this how you take care of him, so that he can't even shout?"
Ye Yibai heard the words and protected Hua Yanxi behind him: "Old man, if you dare to scold her again, believe it or not, I will beat you up. She is my wife, why should she give you gifts? You are crazy to want to take advantage. Poor
You can’t even open the pot, but you still have so many concubines, and you have grandchildren and you still can’t stop.”
Ye Yibai just faced the emperor in front of everyone and scolded him and everyone in the palace.
When Hua Yanxi saw the gloomy expression on the emperor's face, showing signs of anger, she was so frightened that her back stiffened. She immediately stood up, grabbed Ye Yibai's arm and slapped him on the back several times.
"I let you be naughty, I let you fool around, I let you joke with your father. I teach you how I usually teach you. When you meet your father, you should say hello and build a good relationship."
Hua Yanxi's slaps were loud these times, but she controlled the force, raising them high and gently lowering them. They looked fierce, but in fact they were just like slapping Ye Yibai away.
But Ye Yibai did it very realistically. After being beaten by Hua Yanxi, he immediately jumped on his feet and started to run away. However, he was grabbed by Hua Yanxi and couldn't break away. The two of them started spinning in circles in the main hall.
All the concubines and the princes and princesses couldn't bear to look at him.
Those nephews and nieces opened their mouths, it turned out that Uncle Wu was so pitiful.
The children of the eldest prince Ye Chenxiao were particularly fond of the glazed horse, so they also liked the fifth uncle very much. When they saw the fifth uncle being beaten, they were so anxious that they almost cried.
Several little guys discussed how to save Uncle Wu, and suddenly rushed to the main hall.
One of them hugged Hua Yanxi's legs, while the others protected Ye Yibai.
With tears in his eyes, a child held Hua Yanxi's legs and looked up at her pitifully: "Aunt Five, please let Uncle Five go. He is already stupid. If you keep beating him, he will become even stupider.
Even less obedient."
The other one hugged the other leg and sobbed: "Fifth Aunt, I am willing. I am willing to give my gift to Grandpa Huang. Grandpa Huang will not be angry after receiving the gift. Please don't be angry either, okay?"
