The emperor didn't speak, and several people didn't dare to speak. They all expected Prime Minister Li to speak.
[The tyrant asked them to stay because he wanted to put on a show in front of King Yueqing. If I guessed correctly, the tyrant was waiting for King Yueqing. 】
[I’m such a genius. The King of Yueqing was given a jade pendant. I’m afraid he didn’t even sleep well last night. 】
emperor:"……"
Why are you so boastful?
He is indeed waiting for King Yueqing. King Yueqing likes to act, and he can too.
The imperial study was quiet for a moment, and someone came to report that King Yueqing had arrived.
Soon, King Yueqing was brought in. He bowed, looked at the people in the imperial study and said, "Brother Huang has something to talk about. Please stay away for now."
The emperor asked King Yueqing to stand up, gave him a seat and said, "My brother is not an outsider. He is just sitting here. I announce that you are here today to ask about the jade pendant."
King Yueqing did not expect that the emperor would mention the jade pendant in front of these people. He had not yet figured out how to get the jade pendant back.
"Brother, please ask."
The emperor took out the jade pendant and said, "You drank with me last night and insisted on giving me this jade pendant to show your loyalty. I thought that my father left this jade pendant for you and had no intention of accepting it. But you kept trying to persuade me, so I could only Accept it, otherwise I will be sorry for your loyalty, my dear brother."
[The tyrant has also learned to talk nonsense seriously, and King Yueqing is not stupid, haha, he must be sick in his heart now. 】
Give him the jade pendant yourself to show your loyalty?
King Yueqing's expression changed. His mind was not broken. How could he give the jade pendant to the emperor?
The emperor seemed not to notice that King Yueqing was unhappy, and continued: "I was worried that my younger brother would be anxious when he woke up without seeing the jade pendant, so I specially sent you to the palace."
[You are so considerate, haha. 】
"Brother Imperial, this jade pendant..."
King Yueqing was interrupted by the emperor before he finished speaking, "Last night, my dear brother, you said that only people with evil intentions need this jade pendant. I understand your loyalty, but you drank some wine at that time. If you don't want to give it to me now, , just take this jade pendant back."
Looking at the jade pendant in front of him, King Yueqing subconsciously wanted to reach out for it, but the emperor added another sentence.
"I believe in your loyalty, my dear brother, and you have no evil intentions. If you regret it, just take the jade pendant back."
After hearing this, Yu Yiluo laughed in her heart.
[No, where did the tyrant learn tea talk? You are taking the path of King Yueqing and leaving him with nowhere to go. 】
Prime Minister Li was a little surprised when he heard what the emperor said. He had previously asked the emperor to take back the jade pendant of King Yueqing, but the emperor refused directly. Now the emperor has figured it out?
It didn't look like King Yueqing had given the jade pendant to the emperor on his own initiative.
After hearing the emperor's words, King Yueqing quietly retracted his hand, pretending to straighten his clothes.
If the emperor didn't say so many words, it would be more credible to say that he gave him the jade pendant.
He said to give it to him. If he really takes the jade pendant back, wouldn't it mean that he took it back with evil intentions.
"Before, some people said that it was inappropriate for the prince to enter the palace casually with a jade pendant. Now that the prince has given the jade pendant to the emperor, these people will no longer talk nonsense."
Prime Minister Li was worried that King Yueqing would really take the jade pendant back, so he quickly spoke.
Seeing him, everyone else started talking and also praised King Yueqing.
"Thank you, Brother Emperor. I keep my word. This jade pendant should have been given to Brother Emperor when I went to the fiefdom, but I was in a hurry, so I delayed my return until this time."
King Yueqing said this while holding back his anger, and his heart ached with anger.
Could it be that the emperor had some advice from an expert? He used to say whatever he wanted, but now he has learned the trick of hiding needles in the back of the house.
"Okay," the emperor put away the jade pendant and did not forget to give King Yueqing a touch-up. "In that case, I will tell you, brother, to have a drink with me another day. Now we have to discuss other matters."
[It's not you who pricked your heart like this. I'm afraid King Yueqing won't dare to drink anymore. 】
[Look at the way he dares to be angry but dare not speak. He must have broken his back molars. 】
King Yueqing stood up and looked at the emperor putting away the jade pendant. He felt so uncomfortable that he was separated from his flesh and blood. He didn't look back reluctantly until he could no longer see the jade pendant.
"My dear brother, please retire."
…
King Yueqing returned to the palace angrily, and his subordinates knew from his expression that things were definitely not going well.
So after serving tea, I didn't dare to ask any more questions and just walked to the side silently.
"Damn it." King Yueqing raised his hand and punched the table hard to vent his anger.
But it was of no use.
What nonsense did he say when he gave him the jade pendant.
The emperor must have taken it away from him while he was drunk, and he said it so grandly. He had promised his father that he would take good care of him, but he actually treated him like this.
"Your Majesty, please calm down."
King Yueqing glared at his subordinates and stood up to go to Shen Yu's courtyard.
When Shen Yu was thinking about how to get out, she heard the sound of footsteps and she quickly returned to her silly state.
King Yueqing actually wanted to vent his anger on Shen Yu, but he stopped when he reached the door.
Mrs. Yao will inevitably send someone to see Shen Yu. If he beats Shen Yu, he will probably be in trouble.
Thinking of this, King Yueqing turned around and returned to the study.
"Why is Meng You's progress so slow? Let him come and see me."
He hadn't heard any good news after so many days, but he was so angry that he really wished he could chop off the emperor's head right now.
…
In fact, not only King Yueqing was anxious, Meng You was also anxious.
Based on the Sixth Princess's attitude towards him, he thought he would be able to wait for the Sixth Princess to ask him out soon, but as a result there was no movement from the Sixth Princess.
When he was hesitating whether to go to the Sixth Princess, Yang Jin walked in with a smile.
"Brother Meng, there is a girl outside looking for you."
Now the two of them have no jobs and can only live in the inn.
Meng You thanked him, raised his hands and straightened his clothes before walking out.
"Mr. Meng, my lady is waiting for you at the restaurant. Let me call you over."
The maid next to the sixth princess walked to Meng You and said.
Meng You was a little disappointed when he didn't see the Sixth Princess. He thought the person looking for him was the Sixth Princess, but he didn't expect that he just sent a maid over.
At this time, the sixth princess took the fourth prince to the restaurant.
She originally wanted to call her the fifth princess, but she met the fourth prince halfway and dragged him over.
"Are you planning something weird?"
The fourth prince stared at the sixth princess and suddenly said that he would take him to a restaurant for dinner. He must be holding it back.
The Sixth Princess rolled her eyes and said disgustedly: "What can I do with you? I have no money and no friends, so I just want to bring you here for a meal."
With Brother Four Emperors here, a foodie who likes to eat, let’s see how she cheats Meng You and King Yueqing.
If you still want to plot against her, go ahead and have a big dream.
The two went up to the second floor and asked for a private room.
The fourth prince's hand had already healed. He poured a cup of tea and asked uncertainly.
"Sixth sister, are you okay today? I eat a lot, and I also like to pack food."
Grandpa liked the food he brought back last time very much. If he paired it with some wine, he could sneak out to play when he drank too much.
So he plans to continue this time.
