Chapter 340: Dull Idiot
Rong Yu raised his lips slightly, stood up and pulled her into his arms, kissing her forehead gently: "Thank you, Princess, I like it very much."
The people in the flower hall had different reactions to this.
Xuanyuan Qi raised his eyebrows, and suddenly felt that he was sitting here in vain. Maybe he should go to his little ancestor to have a heart-to-heart talk.
Xie Jin turned his head to appreciate the scenery outside the flower hall, and found that the scenery of the imperial garden in winter was also good. In the future, he could often go to the palace to stroll around, and maybe he could meet a smart little beauty - although the chance was very small.
Xuanyuan Yao's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but grab the teacup and drink a sip of the already cold tea. He felt that this Princess Feng was too outrageous. She flirted with the regent in public, completely ignoring the reserved dignity and majesty that a crown prince should have. Look at what she flirted with the calm and steady regent?
The cold and self-sustaining regent smiled like a fool.
Mo Lingan and Chu Nanyi looked at each other, not knowing whether to sigh that Princess Feng was important to Rong Yu, which made this cold and self-respecting man start to smile gently in front of so many people, or whether to say that beauty is indeed a disaster, no wonder there has been a saying that beauty is a disaster for the country since ancient times.
However, they could only think about this sentence in their hearts. If they really dared to say it out loud, they were afraid that this gentle man would instantly turn into a tyrant and tear their bones apart without mercy.
Others had different expressions, but no one spoke.
"I have already roughly met the people who entered the palace today. You can move around on your own." Nan Xi turned her head and glanced at the young masters, and looked around the hall. "The scenery in the plum garden is nice. If you have nothing to do, you can go for a walk. I am a little tired, so I will go back to the East Palace to rest first."
After saying this, the young masters naturally stood up and saw them off.
Nan Xi saw a man between a teenager and a young man in the corner, about seventeen or eighteen years old, handsome and outstanding—the facial features of the children of the Xuanyuan family are actually somewhat similar, and their appearances are all outstanding, but the difference in status between legitimate and illegitimate sons has caused a difference in temperament.
Of course, their temperaments are also different.
Nan Xi has seen Xuanyuan Qi, Xuanyuan Yan, Xuanyuan Hua, Xuanyuan Yu, Xuanyuan Chen, Xuanyuan Yao... Among these young men of the younger generation, Xuanyuan Qi's appearance is the most dazzling.
But none of the others are ugly.
It's just that the young man in front of him has an unhealthy pale face. Since entering the garden, he has been standing in an inconspicuous position behind everyone. With the help of the crowd, he has successfully made himself invisible. After entering the flower hall, he also chose a corner farthest from the main seat where he would not be noticed. It seems that he came to the palace today just to complete a task, and when he left the palace after the palace banquet, the task would be completed.
However, during this mission, someone assigned him another more important mission, but he seemed to have forgotten it. He didn't even think about what he was going to do, and didn't even say a word.
In order not to arouse suspicion, Nan Xi's eyes only fell on his face briefly, and soon turned her eyes away, smiling faintly: "I just came back not long ago, and I don't know the brothers of the imperial uncles' families well. Today, the East Palace is holding a banquet. Please go to the imperial brothers. I will talk to you and deepen our understanding of each other."
Then, she added casually: "Whether it is a legitimate son or a bastard, it's the same today. I hope you will give me this face."
"Your Highness, you are too kind." Fu Chen smiled humbly, "Your Highness spoke, it was the order of the crown prince, who dares not give this face?"
"That's right." Xuanyuan Yao touched his nose and muttered softly, "I don't want to be beaten with eighty military sticks again."
Rong Yu said in a faint voice: "You talk a lot?"
Xuanyuan Yao was silent immediately.
Seeing this, the others were all surprised. They all said that the King of Huainan was in charge of a large army, which made people fearful. This young prince was even more unruly. He caused a conflict between the two armies on the day he returned to Beijing. After being punished by the Regent Rong Yu with a military stick, everyone thought that the two would have a grudge.
In the following days, they were all waiting to see the King of Huainan make trouble.
However, after waiting for a long time, the King of Huainan did not make any movement, as if the person being beaten was not his son, and it was normal for the young prince not to provoke a conflict because he had been recovering from his injuries.
It was just that after entering the palace today and seeing him appear at the palace banquet, they thought they could see a good show, but they didn't expect to be disappointed. Xuanyuan Yao not only behaved very "knowing the times", but also his attitude towards the Regent of the Great Zhou was really puzzling.
As the son of a military general, he grew up in the barracks since he was a child. It is impossible that he would be scared by a military stick, right?
But this is the fact.
Xuanyuan Yao behaved like a loyal subject in front of Princess Feng and the Regent, and he did not even hide his reverent and submissive attitude.
Until Rong Yu took Nan Xi away from the flower hall, there were still several pairs of eyes in the hall staring at Xuanyuan Yao, as if they were thinking about something, as if they were secretly pondering something.
The unruly young prince raised his eyebrows: "I am not a beauty, why do you stare at me like this?"
"I thought the prince would be dissatisfied with the Regent, but I didn't expect..." Su Hanyu smiled gently, "But it's good this way. After all, we are all Dongling's subjects. It is our duty to be loyal to the king. Even if we are military generals with military power, we should be more obedient to make the king feel at ease. What do you think, young prince?"
"I say?" Xuanyuan Yao raised his eyebrows, "I say Su Hanyu, we are cousins in name."
Su Hanyu was stunned, then smiled and nodded.
Although the King of Huainan has been guarding the border of Huainan for many years, Xuanyuan Yao is not familiar with the princes and brothers of the imperial capital, and has no feelings for Su Hanyu, a nominal cousin, but the mothers of the King of Huainan and Su Hanyu are siblings, so their cousin blood relationship does exist.
"This prince feels very depressed." Xuanyuan Yao walked up to him and looked him up and down, "Why do you have anything to do with someone as stupid as you?"
Su Hanyu's smile froze: "Cousin..."
"Don't." Xuanyuan Yao quickly raised his hand to stop him, "Don't try to be friendly. This prince feels miserable enough. If I really have something to do with you, I will be even more unlucky, so you'd better stay away from me."
Su Hanyu's expression completely sank: "What does the young prince mean by this?"
"It means that you are stupid, can't you hear it?" Xuanyuan Yao sneered, "It seems that you are still a slow-witted idiot."
Su Hanyu was about to get angry, but a hand was placed on Xuanyuan Yao's shoulder from the side, and Xie Jin smiled charmingly: "Young prince, if you can talk, say more, I love to listen."
Xuanyuan Yao glanced at him: "Take advantage of me?"
