"Mother, I will leave first...!"
After Ying Zheng left, Ying Shiman and others bowed respectfully to Lian'er and then left one after another.
The entire homecoming ceremony is over, and it’s time for them to return home!
As soon as she left the Huayang Palace, the little princess Ying Yiman tilted her head, looked at her husband Cao Shen, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Husband! Why do you think my father is angry? At the beginning of the banquet, we were talking to the little one so well. The emperor's brother is quarreling!"
The quarrel between Ying Zheng and Ying Feiyu is nothing new in the palace.
Not only Lian'er, the girls and the princesses are used to it, but the maids and chamberlains don't find it strange either!
It seems that they are a father and son who are enemies, and they will quarrel when they meet!
But no matter how fierce the two people quarrel, they are still father and son, and it will not affect their relationship.
"It's because of these quarrels!"
Cao Shen showed a knowing smile.
"You mean...my father is really angry with his younger brother this time?"
Ying Yiman listened in confusion.
"I'm not angry with His Majesty, but I'm angry with Manager Feng!"
Cao Shen smiled.
"Huh? What does the quarrel between my father and my younger brother have to do with Guanshi Feng?"
Ying Yiman was puzzled.
"Old Cao, do you think Feng Quji can really steal the Emperor's food?"
Before Cao Shen could reply, Meng Yun on the side asked, making Ying Yiman on the side even more puzzled.
"What do you think?"
Cao Shen didn't answer the question.
"Probably...not right?"
Meng Yun was a little unsure.
Judging from Feng Quji's behavior, it was definitely not the case.
But that's what His Majesty meant, even if he didn't want to believe it!
"Feng Quji has been honest all his life. He won't accept gold and silver as gifts, so how could he steal a few vegetables?"
Wang Li shook his head helplessly and said with a smile.
"Then your Majesty...what does this mean?"
Meng Yun was really puzzled.
This is obviously a false accusation against Feng Quji.
If the Supreme Emperor is angry, failure to protect everything will lead to catastrophe!
"I don't know what your Majesty means, but I know that your Majesty does things in a measured way. Feng Quji will definitely be fine, and he must have offended your Majesty recently!"
Cao Shen was both civil and military, and he had some accomplishments in understanding people's hearts.
Based on a few words from everyone today, these things have been analyzed!
…
"Master! Master! The Supreme Emperor has arrived! The Supreme Emperor has arrived!"
After the morning court, Feng Quji changed his clothes and tended the green vegetables in the greenhouse near the mansion.
Anyway, it’s idle time, it’s bright and cold outside! It's not as good as here, not to mention warm as spring, everywhere is green, and I feel relaxed and happy just looking at it!
But after just staying there for a while, the boy outside ran in in a panic to report!
"Who? The Supreme Emperor? No way?"
At this time, Feng Quji was holding scissors to trim the excess branches of the tomatoes.
When I heard the news, I couldn’t believe it at all!
"Today is the day when the princesses will return home after three days. At this time, the Supreme Emperor should be hosting a banquet in the palace. How could he be here?"
If he said that he had nothing to do and came here to hang out, he might still believe it.
But today is a day to host a banquet for several uncles, and there is no way he can come!
"No! No, sir! The real Emperor is right outside the shed and will come in soon. You'd better pick him up quickly!"
The boy was sweating anxiously, and his eyes fell on the scissors in his hand.
If you don't let go, when His Majesty comes, you will be holding a sharp knife to pick him up, which is a capital crime!
"really?"
"Absolutely true!"
Seeing the boy so anxious, Feng Quji became somewhat convinced.
He slowly put down the scissors, dusted himself off, and walked out of the ground.
After walking a few steps, he saw a huge body walking towards him in the light.
His whole body exuded a unique aura, and he knew it was the Supreme Emperor without even having to see the person coming!
"He is truly the emperor!"
After confirming the identity of the visitor, Feng Quji smiled and ran forward faster.
As the distance between the two grew closer, the smile on Feng Quji's face gradually solidified.
Because he found that something didn't seem right about the Emperor's expression!
It doesn’t look like you’re here to hang out… but it looks like you’re here to settle a score with him!
After realizing something was wrong, he gradually slowed down.
But it was too late, Ying Zheng had already arrived in front of him.
"Old minister, see your Majesty!"
Although I don’t know what exactly happened, the etiquette that should be given must not be wrong.
"Hmph! You also know that you are an old minister...?"
Ying Zheng stood firm, put his hands on his hips, and scolded sternly, "I really didn't expect that you, who have been with me all my life and are my most trusted minister, could do such a thing behind my back!"
"Um?"
The sudden curse made Feng Quji confused.
I don’t seem to have done anything harmful to God, so how could I be scolded so badly by His Majesty?
"How dare you pretend to be stupid with me...?"
Looking at his honest face, Ying Zheng became even more angry, "I was deceived by your honest expression. It's a shame that I trust you so much! I don't know how many things you did behind my back!"
"Your Majesty clearly knows that I was wronged!"
Feng Quji didn't know what happened, but he was suddenly labeled like this. He immediately frowned with an innocent expression.
"Unjustly accused? Do you still dare to cry out?"
Ying Zheng's old face turned red with anger and he scolded angrily.
"I have devoted my life to the Qin Dynasty and have done my duty faithfully. I have never done anything to disgrace the Qin Dynasty, the court, or the people! I really don't know what your Majesty is referring to!"
Feng Quji bowed his head, not daring to raise his head.
Although he believed that he was right, His Majesty was harsh and he could only do this!
"Hmph! You still dare to speak harshly? Then I will explain it clearly and let you know...!"
Ying Zheng grimaced and shouted angrily: "I ask you, have you ever secretly picked the fruits in my vegetable greenhouse?"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty already knows?"
Hearing this, Feng Quji suddenly raised his head with a look of horror on his face.
I used to think that the Supreme Emperor was referring to matters related to being honest as an official and accepting bribes.
I didn’t expect it to be about vegetable greenhouses!
"Humph! Does this mean you admit it...?"
Ying Zheng snorted coldly and squinted his eyes like a tiger, "I trust you so much that I built a vegetable greenhouse in your field! I didn't expect you to hide your selfishness and steal my fruits!"
This voice really frightened Feng Quji, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I am also temporarily obsessed. I hope your Majesty will forgive me!"
"Excuse me? Just because you picked the fruits, there was a lot missing in today's banquet. I sent people to Feiyu's garden to pick some, and then I made up for them all! And I was beaten by that kid Sarcasm, what he said was that I sent people to pick vegetables but didn’t inform him! In the end, it was that guy who reminded me, and I finally reacted!"
The more Ying Zheng talked, the angrier he became, and he raised his leg and kicked him.
"Your Majesty? That's not the case, right...?"
Hearing this, Feng Quji suddenly felt something was wrong. He rubbed his buttocks and said aggrievedly: "I did steal His Majesty's tomatoes! But it was my grandson who came to play and saw the red tomatoes and got greedy. I picked one! It won’t affect the banquet, right?”
