Your scumbag application has been returned

The status of the queen was not affected by the dethronement of the crown prince. She was still the most honorable woman in Liang State. Others had to bow properly and call her the queen when they saw her.

But the prince's affair was too much of a blow to her. If a country's prince had his property confiscated and was exiled to a bitter and cold place, people would think she was talking crazy if she told anyone about it. It couldn't be more miserable than this.

She had nightmares every day, dreaming that the prince was beaten, scolded and humiliated on the road. However, her mother's family had lost power, and so she also lost power, so she couldn't even do anything for the prince.

Now the real power in the harem is in the hands of Concubine Jing. She can only be a mascot in name only. Like now, even if she knows that many people are laughing at her, she has to pretend not to know.

When she attended the event today, the thick powder on her face could not hide her fatigue. Her originally well-maintained face looked as if she had aged by more than ten years in an instant, and was stained with traces of time.

In sharp contrast, Emperor Liang, who had taken the elixir of immortality, looked like a young man in his thirties, with a ruddy complexion and radiant looks.

The Empress sat on his right, and on his left was his recently favored concubine, who clung to Emperor Liang as if she had no bones.

She picked up a grape with her slender fingers and passed it to Emperor Liang's mouth. The beauty's voice was soft and tender, and it touched people's hearts. "Your Majesty, have a grape."

Emperor Liang leaned forward and deliberately bit her fingertips, saying meaningfully, "The grapes peeled by my beloved concubine are especially sweet."

The beauty smiled coyly, leaning against Emperor Liang's arms like a willow in the wind, rubbing her beautiful little face against his chest, looking up at him in a reproachful and charming way, "Your Majesty, please don't tease me."

Emperor Liang grabbed her hand and placed it on his lips, kissing her. "If I say it's sweet, it's sweet, my beloved concubine..."

He pretended to go forward and kiss her, but the beauty blocked him with her index finger and said delicately, "Your Majesty, there are so many people here, I am shy."

"It would be better if they were all dead. I wonder if any of them dare to say a word more." Emperor Liang said indifferently.

"Ahem..." Chen Yuenian couldn't bear it any longer. If he let it go, Emperor Liang might want to perform a live sex show in front of them.

This disappointing voice extinguished all his anger, and Emperor Liang leaned back on the dragon throne lacking interest. Seeing this, the beauty began to feed him again. A smile appeared on Emperor Liang's face again, but his movements were not as wanton as before.

The queen sitting next to them is even less of a background than a backdrop, with no sense of presence at all.

Chen Yuenian breathed a sigh of relief. "He wanted to perform an action movie for us for free, but we were not happy to watch it. It was so shocking. He was an old man. Did he still think he was a teenager?"

Nan Yuan's mouth twitched, "How dare you say that to your Majesty? Aren't you the same?" He started teasing him as soon as they had a disagreement, as if he had achieved some kind of achievement by seeing him blush.

Chen Yuenian refused to admit it and argued: "I just said it, but did you see that I did anything substantial? In the end, I just kissed her face. There were other things that can only be done behind closed doors. How could I do that outside?"

Nan Yuan wanted to refute, but after thinking for a long time, he finally gave in. It seemed that what Chen Yuenian said was right. As long as there was a third person, he would never do anything wrong. In a way, this also protected his privacy.

Should he also thank Chen Yuenian?

Not long after the banquet was over, the queen made an excuse to leave. She probably felt uncomfortable staying there, and not many people cared about her departure.

Nan Yuan spent the whole night worried about what questions Emperor Liang would ask him.

Emperor Liang flirted with the beauty beside him the whole time. Whenever someone came up to toast him, he scolded them back, saying that they were tactless. If he wanted to drink, he would drink the wine poured by the beauty.

After a while, Emperor Liang probably couldn't wait any longer, so he left with the beauty in his arms and went to a side hall. Nan Yuan could vaguely hear some sounds, maybe it was a psychological effect.

Nan Yuan drank his tea expressionlessly and said, "As expected, art comes from life." No wonder there are so many secrets of the palace.

"Hmm?" He spoke in a low voice and Chen Yuenian didn't hear clearly.

Nan Yuan waved his hand: "No, I'll tell you when I get back."

The night banquet had not yet ended, so it was not convenient for them to leave. Many people at the banquet made excuses to go out and get some fresh air.

However, a few military generals came to toast them, saying that they were not present at Chen Yuenian's wedding last time and wanted to make up for it.

After drinking several cups, even though it was “low-proof” osmanthus wine, Nan Yuan still felt dizzy and saw two Chen Yuenians swaying in front of him.

Chen Yuenian touched his hot face with amusement: "I just told you that I would drink for you, but you insisted on being stubborn. We will go home later."

Nan Yuan grabbed Chen Yuenian's shoulder, fiercely but without any power: "It's just a few cups of osmanthus wine, I'm not drunk, I can still drink."

Chen Yuenian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and grabbed his hand that was causing trouble: "Okay, okay, you're not drunk."

Nan Yuan nodded heavily, but his body swayed: "I'm really not drunk."

Chen Yuenian was still cooperating with him: "I know you are not drunk, you are just a little dizzy, right?"

Nan Yuan opened his misty eyes and said, "Yes."

Chen Yuenian really wanted to kiss him unconscious on the spot. Chen Yuechu looked resentful and said, "If it really doesn't work, you and your sister-in-law should go back first."

Chen Yuenian agreed, "It's still early, we'll leave in a while."

He was fine, but Chen Yuenian had a romantic encounter.

This was the little time Chen Yuenian wanted to wait for Nan Yuan to sober up.

The cause was that Princess Fengyang wanted to toast Chen Yuenian, and Chen Yuenian drank a glass symbolically. Then she wanted to toast Nan Yuan, and Chen Yuenian asked him to drink, and he leaned on Chen Yuenian.

Nan Yuan felt dizzy, but he could still clearly see the sadness in Princess Fengyang's eyes. It was enough to show how sad Princess Fengyang was, and even a drunk man like him could see it.

Princess Fengyang left after paying her respects without further ado, and it looked more like she was fleeing in panic.

Nan Yuan sobered up immediately and asked embarrassedly, "Can't you see that she likes you?"

Chen Yuenian admitted openly: "I can see it."

"Then you still..."

Chen Yuenian said puzzledly: "What's wrong with me? I didn't respond to her, and she didn't say she liked me. If I said to her, 'I have someone I like, don't like me', and she said she didn't like me, then I would be self-indulgent. Anyway, I should just play dumb."

Nan Yuan thought about his words carefully and found them to be quite reasonable. "That's true. After all, you are so outstanding, it's normal that many people like you."

Chen Yuenian snorted proudly, "It doesn't matter whether others like me or not, as long as you like me, that's enough."

Chen Yuechu, who was forced to listen to the conversation: "..."

I really wish I were deaf and blind.

After a while, the maid beside Princess Fengyang came to ask Chen Yuenian to go out for a while.

Chen Yuenian put down his wine glass and naturally pulled Nan Yuan up, just in time to go home after meeting Princess Fengyang.
