Want to tease the prince, the cat is soft and delicate

Chapter 164: Everyone is at peace

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was silent.

Everyone present opened their eyes wide in astonishment.

Pet?

Is this the cat that the late queen was rumored to have left for the prince?

With a loud "bang", Xuanyuan Feng slammed the table and stood up.

Angry eyes widened.

"I remember now! It was that little bastard! The little bastard who caused the imperial sister to be wronged!"

Before he finished his roar, Emperor Shunde looked displeased and snorted coldly.

"Shut up! Who is wronged? Tell me, who is wronged?"

The third princess Xuanyuan Yue was ordered by Emperor Shunde to be sent to the Taimiao to repent for slaughtering innocent palace maids, but it was told to the outside world that she had committed a serious crime.

She was wronged by the cat, so what about the order issued by Emperor Shunde himself?

These words are simply a slap in the face of Emperor Shunde.

But Xuanyuan Feng was so angry that he didn't react to this matter. He took over the conversation of Emperor Shunde and said, "My sister is innocent! Father, do you know how my sister lived in the Imperial Ancestral Temple? If it weren't for that little beast, my sister wouldn't have ended up like this!"

Emperor Shunde had a dark face and said nothing. Zhao Shun, who was standing beside him, understood what he meant and said, "Third Prince, please stop talking. Your Majesty is still in his prime and can still distinguish right from wrong in some matters."

As soon as Zhao Zhen finished speaking, Xuanyuan Feng glared at him angrily and spoke in a vicious tone.

"You little dog slave! I am talking to my father, what does it have to do with you? Don't you know your own identity? Slap your face!"

Zhao Shun quickly lowered his head and retreated to the side of Emperor Shunde.

The meaning is self-evident. I dare to speak because it is the emperor's intention. I am the emperor's man, and what you, a prince, say, does not carry enough weight.

If you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner. If you beat me, you have to see if the emperor agrees.

Zhao Zhen's action made Xuanyuan Fengqi's face turn red.

He realized that anyone could bully him now, and even a dog slave dared to openly show him disdain because he had someone to back him up.

"What? Do you think that with your father backing you up, I can't do anything to you? As long as..."

With a crisp "Pa!" sound, Xuanyuan Feng's head was slapped to the side, and the words he had not finished saying were slapped back into his stomach.

Emperor Shunde had a gloomy face, and his big hand was aching from fanning people. He put his hand back into his sleeve and said to Zhao Zhen with a dark face, "Pass on my imperial decree. The Third Prince Xuanyuan Feng has been punished by being confined to his palace for one month for being disrespectful to the palace. His name will be removed from the list of foreign audiences at the palace banquet."

Emperor Shunde knew that his third son was not in line with the norm, but this was the first time he saw him acting so absurdly.

Look at what he said and what he did in front of so many ministers. Does he have the upbringing of a prince at all?

"Father?"

Xuanyuan Feng was slapped in the face and now he sobered up a little. He immediately realized what he had just done.

He was arrogant and domineering one moment, and regretful the next.

"Father, I just lost my mind because of my sister. It's my fault. Please have mercy on me and don't confine me."

The Prime Minister has always had a close relationship with Xuanyuan Feng. He used to think that he was a talented person with great potential. But he didn't know when he became so absurd.

If he didn't have the support of the Cao family, the Prime Minister really didn't want to hand over his life and property to such a person.

But even if she felt disgusted by his cowardly appearance, this was about to be a palace banquet.

Looking at the overall situation, Xuanyuan Feng must not be confined to his home, otherwise he will have no role to play in the future fight for the throne. Even if he sits on the throne in the end, it will be a stain and no one will be convinced.

If you fail to win the hearts of the people, you will be pulled down sooner or later.

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince is also a pure-hearted person. Seeing the princess suffer, he was so excited that he lost his composure. I understand."

As the prime minister spoke, he glanced at everyone present with a sharp look in his eyes. Except for the ministers of the prince's party who did not agree, the rest of the ministers understood his meaning at a glance and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we understand your Majesty. As a brother, it is inevitable that you will lose your sense of propriety when you see your sister suffer."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the friendship that the Third Prince has for the Princess is truly precious."

......

Seeing that Emperor Shunde was hesitant, the Prime Minister quickly struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Besides, the palace banquet is very busy, and Your Highness will definitely be overwhelmed that day. If the Third Prince is here, he can also help Your Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince to share some of the burden."

The prime minister's words were well-reasoned, and the ministers echoed him. Emperor Shunde hesitated for a moment with a dark face, and finally softened his heart.

He looked at Xuanyuan Feng and said angrily, "You are not a child anymore. As a prince, you should shoulder the responsibilities of a prince, assist the crown prince, and handle government affairs. Don't think that I don't know what stupid things you did in that palace. This time the prime minister pleaded for you, so I will forgive you. If there is a next time, no one will speak for you!"

Someone kicked Xuanyuan Feng, and he, who was still in a daze, felt pain in his knees and knelt down.

The moment he knelt on the ground, he immediately clasped his fists and kowtowed, saying in a clear voice: "I, your son, thank you, father. Long live the emperor."

"Alright, regarding the foreign audience and the palace banquet, you all have your own responsibilities and should prepare well. I will also go to Chaoyang Palace to take a look."

Emperor Shunde glanced at Zhao Zhen after saying this, and Zhao Zhen immediately understood what he meant. He nodded at him, indicating that he had written it down.

Then he passed Xuanyuan Feng, led the way, and followed Emperor Shunde out of the hall with his body half bent.

As soon as the emperor left, Xuanyuan Feng stood up from the ground.

The ministers saluted Xuanyuan Feng and the prime minister, then left one after another.

Before long, Xuanyuan Feng's men were the only ones left in the huge hall.

The prime minister was naturally among them.

"Were you the one who kicked me just now?" Xuanyuan Feng looked at the prime minister.

Since there were no outsiders around at the moment, he didn't behave politely and his tone was full of questioning.

The Prime Minister clasped his fists and said, "It was indeed this humble official who kicked me. Your Highness, do you want to bring an army to investigate?"

Xuanyuan Feng smiled at his submissive appearance and quickly reached out to help the prime minister up.

"What are you talking about, Prime Minister? I am grateful to you, so how can I blame you? If it weren't for you, I would have really ruined this banquet. Without your kick, I would have been slow to react and angered my father, and things wouldn't have ended so smoothly."

The Prime Minister smiled slightly, and was not moved by his words of gratitude. His expression was calm, neither humble nor arrogant: "This is what I should do. Your Highness and I are mutually beneficial. Helping Your Highness is helping myself."

Xuanyuan Feng looked at him with satisfaction: "Okay, I have to go to my mother's palace, so I won't chat with you any more. Prime Minister, do you want to go to Changchun Palace with me?"

The Prime Minister took a step back and politely declined Xuanyuan Feng's invitation: "Outsiders are not allowed to enter the harem without permission. I have something else to do in my house, so I will not go with His Majesty the Third Prince. I will visit the Empress another day."

"Hey! That's enough, that's enough!" Xuanyuan Feng waved his hands, looking impatient: "Then Prime Minister, please go back. If you have anything to ask, just ask someone to come to the palace to find me."

After saying this, Xuanyuan Feng flicked his robe and turned to leave.

"Your Highness is here to be seen off."

After Xuanyuan Feng walked out of the door, a minister came forward with a frown and said, "Prime Minister, this Third Prince looks like this, can we really follow him?"

Look at the nonchalant look of His Highness the Third Prince, can he really shoulder such a big responsibility?

The Prime Minister also looked distressed: "Go check if there are any unclean people around the Third Prince. Why has he changed so much?"

Before following Xuanyuan Feng, the Prime Minister thought for a long time.

Compared with Xuanyuan Che, who has no one to rely on and only has the title of prince.

Obviously, Xuanyuan Feng, who has an army of 500,000 and the great support of the Cao family, is superior.

He remembered that when he first met Xuanyuan Feng, the ambition in his eyes was frightening.

It was also from that time that the Prime Minister knew that if Xuanyuan Feng had not given in, the next person to ascend the throne would definitely be him.

So since he was able to follow Xuanyuan Feng, the Cao family's 500,000 troops were one thing, and he had naturally considered Xuanyuan Feng as well.

When he saw Xuanyuan Feng a few days ago, he felt that his condition was a little strange.

Although he used to be a playboy, he was definitely not such an impulsive person. How could he make such a low-level mistake today? He might have to check carefully whether there was someone around him who disturbed his mind.

If that person really exists, he would probably have to meet the Queen and discuss what to do next.
