Quickly wear it! Fight with the heroine for the man? I'll do it!

His face stiffened, and a hint of unnaturalness flashed in his eyes.

Is it really because of my old age that my eyesight is blurry?

He sighed softly, trying to force his attention elsewhere, but his eyes couldn't help but drift away.

However, this time he did not look at Yu Xin, but at Yu Miao.

The lake blue dress was covered with a thin layer of gauze, which looked particularly hazy under the candlelight and moonlight.

Too beautiful to be true.

At this moment, Yu Miao seemed to have noticed something. She met his gaze without avoiding it. Instead, she picked up the wine glass in her hand and smiled at him.

With a loud bang, it turned out that the emperor himself overturned everything on the table.

At this moment, he didn't care about his image or the dignity of the emperor, and pointed his trembling right hand at Yu Miao.

"You, you're back?"

Everyone was obviously frightened by this sudden change. They quickly put down their wine glasses and knelt down.

Li Sheng was really good at playing the piano. He was completely intoxicated by Xiao Jinan's melodious piano music, but was interrupted so abruptly and rudely that he looked at the emperor with a bit of contempt.

It's true that mangosteen can't handle fine chaff, and Xiao Jinan's piano is wasted.

but……

This old man is quite interesting. He cares about her more than he thought.

I wonder what he would think if he saw this face again. Would he be overwhelmed by fear or regret?

Haha, Li Kangren, this is the retribution you deserve.

Li Sheng thought so, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he met Xiao Jinan's eyes, and the two of them understood each other tacitly.

He turned sideways and said something to the person next to him.

Leaning lazily on the cushion behind him.

Today’s “main show” has finally begun.

Yu Miao knew that his acting skills were good enough, and he knelt down in fear when the emperor "identified" him.

"My daughter, my daughter..."

Seeing this, Xiao Jinan stood beside Yu Miao and was about to kneel down in fear like her, but she felt her knees being lifted up by a mysterious force.

Yu Miao shook his head at him.

He could only bow and salute: "This is my first time attending a palace banquet. I didn't know the etiquette and offended Your Majesty. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Yu Xin was distracted for a while. How come the emperor noticed her sister and made such a loud noise?

Ignoring Li Jing pulling her hand, she immediately knelt down beside Yu Miao and pleaded, "Your Majesty, this... lady is my sister. Please forgive me."

She had been in the palace for so long that she naturally knew that except for being extremely tolerant towards Li Sheng, the emperor was extremely strict towards everyone else.

Although it was not clear how my sister had displeased the emperor, if the emperor got angry, the consequences would be serious.

Yu Miao finally saw his sister after many years. The moment she approached, he still had an urge to protect her.

But reason told her that in terms of means, the heroine was more capable than her, and in terms of status, how could a commoner like her compare to her, a concubine?

Don't look away from her.

When Yu Xin saw her expression, his heart sank.

My sister still hasn't forgiven me after all these years...

Li Jing sat at the table feeling uneasy. Why did Yu Xin run away?

Didn't she know that if the emperor got angry, people could be killed? She was a woman with no family background and no connections. Did she really think that the emperor would spare that woman for her sake?

I struggled internally, wanting to plead for her, but when I thought about how my father didn't even care about my mother's face, would he...

The Crown Princess was sitting next to him, and every subtle expression of his was clearly seen by her.

I was speechless.

“I thought you loved her so much, and this isn’t a capital crime, so you won’t even plead for her?

What Li Jing can't stand most is being provoked by others.

"Go and go!"

As he said this, he strode quickly and knelt down beside Yu Xin: "Father...if you have anything to say, come to me, don't embarrass Xin'er!"

idiot……

Li Sheng almost laughed out loud.

What does he think he is doing? Saving the damsel in distress?

Little did he know that what his father hated most was damaging the royal family's reputation for women.

His kneeling not only ruined his father's good impression of him, but also greatly reduced the trust of all the court officials in him as the "crown prince".

"Heaven" is a great and mysterious force.

Rather than saying that the "Son of Heaven" is a person, it is better to say that the "Son of Heaven" is an individual that people place the power of "Heaven" on.

If one wants to sit on the dragon throne, one must be ruthless, desireless and have no thoughts. However, today, Li Jing actually knelt down and begged the emperor for a woman in front of all the civil and military officials.

What a bad move.

After this commotion, the emperor slowly calmed down.

There are no ghosts or gods in the world, and he is the true dragon emperor, blessed by dragon energy, and no evil creatures can get close to him.

Yu Xin and Yu Miao kneeling in front of him at the same time reminded him of the sisters he met in Yangzhou three years ago.

They are all human beings, real people...

"Alright, so many people kneeling here, how can this be allowed?"

The overturned tables and chairs were quickly restored to their original state by the servants. The emperor sat at the table and waved his hand, restoring his imperial majesty.

He rubbed his temple in distress.

"I suddenly feel physically and mentally exhausted today, everyone please go down."

"Yes."

Upon receiving the order, all the ministers hurriedly withdrew.

Afraid of being affected.

"Keep your head up."

Yu Miao listened to the order and slightly raised his chin, but his eyes were still flustered and confused, like a clear and ignorant deer caught in the hunting ground.

She is three points more like that man than Yu Xin.

No, she and she are cut from the same cloth.

"May I have your name."

"Yu Miao."

"Yu Xin, Yu Miao? Your parents gave you a nice name."

Yu Miao didn't know what this meant. Maybe he was just trying to flatter himself?

The emperor turned to Li Sheng, who was standing aside and had nothing to do with the matter, and said, "Send them back. I am sorry for scaring the two distinguished guests today. I will give you 100 taels of gold as compensation."

"Father is so generous!"

Li Sheng smiled and walked over quickly: "Let's go, Mr. Xiao, Madam Xiao."

When the emperor heard this surname, his brows suddenly frowned.

"This gentleman's surname is Xiao? Which Xiao is it?"

"Your Majesty, I am the 'Xiao' in 'Chinese Zodiac'."

"This surname is very rare..."

"Yes."

"Sheng'er, please see the distinguished guest off on behalf of your father."

……

After the few people left, Li Kangren was the only one left in the huge palace, sitting quietly, chewing food mechanically.

Is it a coincidence?

Or, did someone do it on purpose?

Sheng Er...
