The emperor looked at Xiao Hanqi in front of him and said, "Ah Qi, the queen wants to hold a Hundred Flowers Banquet in a few days. You should also bring the eldest lady of the general's mansion."

Xiao Hanqi cupped his hands, "Yes, my royal brother!"

His Majesty saw that Xiao Hanqi didn't want to say anything more, "Then how do you think we should deal with what happened just now?"

Xiao Hanqi knew that His Majesty must think that this matter had something to do with him, or even with Liyue. "This is my brother's family affair. My brother must have made up his mind!"

The emperor looked at Xiao Hanqi who was unwilling to say more, then turned to look at Wang Ping who was standing beside him, "Wang Ping, go call that rebellious son in!"

Wang Ping on the side looked at Xiao Hanqi, quickly bowed and said "yes", and walked out!

Xiao Tianming walked in with sweat all over his face. Because of what happened yesterday and the fact that he had to kneel for a long time during the morning court session this morning, his body could not take it anymore.

Xiao Tianming limped to the hall, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father and Uncle!"

His Majesty glanced at Xiao Hanqi, but Xiao Hanqi didn't even look at Xiao Tianming who was kneeling below.

The emperor saw Xiao Tianming's pale face and said, "Get up!"

"Wang Ping, please take a seat!"

Wang Ping had someone bring a chair and helped Xiao Tianming sit down. Wang Ping knew that although what the Third Prince did yesterday was immoral, he was still the Emperor's son after all, and he was also Duke Xu!

Xiao Tianming quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, father and uncle!"

As soon as Xiao Tianming sat down, he looked at Xiao Hanqi with a face full of grievance, "Uncle, what happened yesterday was really not arranged by my nephew. If it was really, how could I count myself in it!"

When Xiao Hanqi saw Xiao Tianming's expression, he suddenly felt that Xiao Tianming had become sarcastic in his speech since what happened yesterday.

Xiao Tianming saw that Xiao Hanqi didn't seem to want to respond, so he continued, "Uncle, you have to help your nephew!"

Xiao Hanqi raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Tianming, "How do you want me to help you?"

Xiao Tianming continued, "Uncle, after all, the Second Miss of the General's Mansion is involved in this matter. Whether it's for my nephew or for the General's Mansion, uncle must help!

As long as the emperor's uncle helps suppress the rumors outside, that's all! I wonder if the emperor's uncle is willing to do so?"

Xiao Hanqi could tell that Xiao Tianming was setting a trap for him. Xiao Tianming knew that the emperor was suspicious, but he still mentioned the General's Mansion.

This was clearly intended to make His Majesty more suspicious. Xiao Hanqi glanced at Xiao Tianming and sneered, "Okay, but you can no longer have any relationship with Miss Li Er, do you agree?"

When Xiao Tianming heard Xiao Hanqi asking him to have any relationship with Li Meng again, although Xiao Tianming didn't want to have anything to do with Li Meng after what happened yesterday, Xiao Hanqi's words severed his relationship with the General's Mansion.

However, Xiao Tianming thought again that as long as the emperor did not interfere and care about Li Meng's affairs, he still had a way to get Li Meng to help him!

Then Xiao Tianming seemed to have figured it out, and said to Xiao Hanqi, "Okay, I'll listen to my uncle!"

The emperor saw that the two had reached a consensus. He had always known that his son was not an easy person to deal with, but he was still his son after all, so the emperor could only do this. "Okay, let's stop here with what happened yesterday."

The emperor looked at Xiao Tianming seriously and said, "You should be careful in the future. Don't let this happen again!"

Xiao Tianming quickly cupped his hands, "Yes, I will remember this!"

Xiao Hanqi took one look at Xiao Tianming and knew what Xiao Tianming was thinking.

Xiao Hanqi sneered in his heart, and said to His Majesty with his hands clasped, "Brother, something has happened. In order to get the Third Prince out of this situation, I can only ask His Majesty to order the son of the Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture to marry the second daughter of the General's Mansion, Li Meng!"

When Xiao Tianming heard what Xiao Hanqi said, he stood up excitedly, "Father, no!"

As soon as Xiao Tianming finished speaking, he found Xiao Hanqi looking at him with a sneer, and suddenly realized that Xiao Hanqi was taking revenge on the trap he had dug for him just now!

When His Majesty heard what Xiao Tianming said, his expression instantly turned ugly. Xiao Hanqi looked at Xiao Tianming with a sneer, "Why is that? Wouldn't it make people think that it's just a matter between Master Hong and Miss Li? Why are you unwilling, or is it that the Third Prince is reluctant?"

Xiao Tianming didn't know what to say when he heard this. He could only watch the emperor looking at him angrily, "It was my nephew who made a mistake. I hope your forgiveness will come to you! Your uncle will handle everything!"

When His Majesty heard what Xiao Tianming said, his expression eased a lot, and he said to Xiao Hanqi, "Okay, then my brother will issue an order to let the eldest son of the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture marry the second daughter of the general's mansion!"

After that, he asked the two to leave. After they left, the emperor glanced at Wang Ping beside him and said, "You said that my third prince really wants to..."

Wang Ping understood what the emperor meant and knelt on the ground in fear. "This, this, I dare not say."

The emperor saw Wang Ping's expression, shook his head and said, "Okay, I don't really think so, I just asked casually, do you really need to do this? Okay, go down and tell the Queen's Palace that I will be there in a while!"

Wang Ping said "yes" and hurried away. The emperor shook his head and muttered, "Old man, do you think I really believe it?"

Wang Ping walked out, patted his chest and let out a long sigh. When his apprentice saw Wang Ping coming out like this, he hurried forward and asked, "Master, what happened?"

Wang Ping saw that it was his apprentice Xiao Zhaozi, and he quickly hit Xiao Zhaozi with his dustpan, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. You forgot what I taught you!"

Little Zhaozi immediately raised his hands and begged for mercy, "Master, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Wang Ping glanced at Xiao Zhaozi again and said, "Come on, follow me to Kunning Palace to pass on the message!"

In Kunning Palace, the queen wore a gorgeous dragon robe with exquisite dragon and phoenix patterns embroidered on it. She wore a green jade necklace around her neck, and each jade was like a bright eye, flashing a mysterious light. The queen wore a gold belt with gemstones around her waist, which made her figure more graceful. Her makeup was very elegant, with only a thin layer of rouge on her lips and a light pearl powder on her cheeks, which made her beauty more natural and fresh.

Although the queen has the eldest prince, the eldest prince is timid and submissive by nature, so the queen has nothing to fight for.

Nanny Li, who was beside the queen, came in and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Ping is here!"

The queen put the book in her hand aside and asked, "Wang Ping, what is he doing here?"

Nanny Li knew that the Queen was not competitive, and also because the eldest prince did not like to fight for anything, the Emperor would only come on the first and fifteenth days of the year, and would never set foot in the Queen's palace at other times.

Seeing the Queen's expression, Nanny Li knew that the Queen did not want to see him, but Nanny Li still persuaded her, "Wang Ping must have brought the Emperor's order, Your Majesty should still meet him!"

The Queen nodded and signaled to Nanny Li to let someone in.
