The soft beauty is so good at teasing, the villain prince asks for a kiss

When they entered the room, someone shouted, "Princess Changle and the Second Prince of Annan are here—"

Rong Heqing was caught off guard and was startled, almost losing his composure.

In a flash, the two heads that died with their eyes open on the guillotine that day flashed through her mind. She calmed down immediately and walked in with dignity and composure.

When she reached the center of the hall, she raised her arms and crossed them, then slowly knelt down. Rong Qiao followed closely behind her and said in a loud voice: "Your servant Rong Heqing (Rong Qiao) pays homage to Your Majesty and the Empress. Long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, and live Your Majesty a thousand years, a thousand years, and a thousand years—"

The moment his head rested on the back of his hand, Ronghe Qingzhen truly felt like he was being manipulated by others.

[Host, come on! I'm with you.] 999 saw that she was scared and couldn't help but comfort her.

Rong Heqing: [Can you give me another shield? I feel like one isn't enough. ]

999: […]

【Get out! 】

After teasing Xiao Jiujiu, Rong Heqing's nervousness eased a lot.

"No need to be polite, just raise your head and let me see."

The emperor was worthy of being an emperor. She could hear a kind of majesty from such a simple sentence.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." She stood up carefully, and after standing straight, she raised her eyes to look up. She restrained her gaze from falling on the emperor's eyes, and only looked at the lower half of his face.

Just looking at his jaw, if he shaved his beard, he would be somewhat similar to Qin Yunxian.

Thinking of this, she glanced to the left and saw the familiar wheelchair.

Just now she came in and took a peek. In addition to the emperor and the empress, there were four other people in the hall. One was Qin Yunxian, one was wearing a dragon robe and should be the crown prince, and the remaining two were probably princes judging by their clothes, but she didn't know which two they were.

Two heavy, tangible gazes pressed down on her head. She immediately calmed down and lowered her eyes.

After a long while, the emperor chuckled softly, "I haven't seen you for many years. The naughty little girl has grown into a graceful young lady. She looks like a princess, and even more like a virtuous concubine."

The queen narrowed her eyes upon hearing this and waved her hand, "Changle, come forward and let me have a look."

Rong Heqing responded obediently and walked forward. The queen leaned forward slightly to look at her for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "She does look a bit like Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian and Princess Annan are sisters from the same mother, so it's normal for them to look a bit alike. Princess Annan and Concubine Xian were both famous beauties in Yundu back then, and now I think Changle is even better than them."

The emperor nodded and said, "Remember to pay your respects to Consort Xian later. She heard that you are here and has been thinking about you."

"Yes." Rong Heqing lowered his head obediently.

Hearing the words "virtuous concubine" again, she felt mixed emotions.

In order to protect Consort Xian, the Jiang family offered their daughter to the southern border. She married a girl thousands of miles away from home and suffered all kinds of grievances. How could her mother not feel resentful?

As a daughter, she would definitely stand on the side of the princess, but she was also very grateful to Concubine Xian for helping her get the title of princess.

For now she can only take one step at a time and see how the other party treats her first, then she will think about how to treat her.

While she was deep in thought, the emperor shifted his gaze to Rong Qiao, who was suddenly startled.

Rong Heqing looked at him and her heart began to lift. She was not the highlight of this entry into the palace; Rong Qiao was.

This little bastard must not let you down!

"Rong Qiao, come forward."

The emperor was obviously more majestic when facing Rong Qiao. Rong Qiao took two steps, and Rong He clearly saw that his legs were shaking, and his hands hanging at his sides were clenched tightly.

If you didn’t know, you would think he was going to go up and punch the emperor twice.

The queen looked at him for a while and said with a smile, "This child doesn't look like the King of Annan. Does he look like his mother?"

Rong Qiao stammered, "Yes, I look more like a concubine."

"I heard that Concubine Wu was deposed and killed for trying to commit an inappropriate act. Is this true?"

Unexpectedly, the emperor would bring up such a topic. Rong Qiao's face turned pale, his legs softened, and he knelt down, his lips trembling as he said, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."

He wanted to speak but couldn't, as if his tongue and teeth were fighting, and he was so anxious that he was sweating.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became heavy.

"Isn't it said that King Annan is nine feet tall and very brave? Why is your son so cowardly?" A slightly immature voice sounded, breaking the deadlock, but the words it said were not so pleasant to the ear.

Rong Heqing raised his eyes and met Qin Yunxian's gaze first. He paused before looking at the person who was speaking. The other person was sitting at the end.

In such occasions, the seating arrangement must be based on status. He was in the last seat and looked young, so he probably hadn't been crowned a king yet and was just a prince.

But the one who could be here at this time must not be an ordinary prince. She had inquired before coming, and she knew that the current queen had two sons, one was the crown prince and the other was the fourteenth prince, and the fourteenth prince got along best with the tenth prince.

The identities of the two people are about to be revealed.

She had an idea in her mind and was about to speak, but Qin Yunxian spoke first, "I don't think this is cowardice. It's just that this is the first time I've seen the emperor's face and I'm overwhelmed by his noble demeanor. I'm a little afraid. This is human nature."

The prince smiled gently, "Ninth brother, what you said is absolutely right. Besides, Second Young Master Rong is still young, one year younger than you, Little Fourteen. How can you, as an elder brother, laugh at him?"

Rong Heqing didn't expect the prince to help them out, and couldn't help but look at him. The prince had the same facial features as the queen, and looked handsome and gentle, like someone who could be easily approached.

The fourteenth prince looks more like an emperor, with a bit of arrogance between his brows. He is quite similar to Rong Qiao before, with the same temperament of asking for a beating.

"Fourteenth brother was just speaking casually and had no ill intention. Princess and Second Young Master, please don't take it to heart." The remaining prince tried to smooth things over.

They all gave Rong Qiao a way out by talking to each other. Logically, if Rong Qiao had any brains, he should have stepped down quickly, but unfortunately he didn't have that brains.

Rong Qiao was trembling and unable to speak, not even a word of thanks. I don't know if he was frightened.

The emperor's face darkened again.

Rong Heqing was so disappointed with her son that he really wanted to dig Wu Caixue out of her grave and ask her how she had raised her son to be such a bad person.

He is a boss at home and acts like a grandson when he goes out.

She stood up helplessly and said to the Emperor and Empress, "Your Majesty, Rong Qiao is not deliberately keeping silent because he despises the Emperor's majesty. As the saying goes, a son should not criticize his mother's mistakes. As a son, he feels guilty when his mother makes mistakes, but he cannot judge whether his mother is right or wrong, so he is in a dilemma."

As she spoke, she used her skirt to cover her legs and kicked Rong Qiao's calf, giving him a wink.

Oh my god, please say something!

Maybe it was because there was someone around him, Rong Qiao suddenly felt confident, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, what the elder sister said is very true, my biological mother was bewitched and made a mistake, I feel guilty, it's hard to say..."

He was crying as he spoke, and it looked really painful.

In this case, the emperor did not ask any more questions, and only said: "Since this is the case, you should take it as a warning and don't make the same mistake again in the future."

"Yes, I will obey your Majesty's teachings!"

Rong Qiao kowtowed heavily.

Seeing that this matter had been exposed, Rong Heqing breathed a sigh of relief. With a glance, he saw Qin Yunxian seemed to smile.

Before she could think about what this smile meant, the emperor asked again: "Do you know why I summoned you to the capital this time?"

After what happened just now, Rong Qiao seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians opened up, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty's summons are a grace, and I dare not make any assumptions."

"Heh——" The emperor laughed with an ambiguous tone.

Ronghe Qingxin was hung up again.
