After the death escape, I became the white moonlight of the crazy tyrant

In the days when the rumor came out, the ministers grumbled to each other privately many times, but they could not figure out when His Majesty had started to have feelings for Lord Wen.

He even found a substitute and imprisoned the girl in the palace, not allowing her to leave.

It sounds ridiculous.

It was so absurd that it reminded them of the style of the previous emperor.

The ministers couldn't help but look sad. If only the imperial tutor was still there, he would be able to control His Majesty.

It's all the fault of those traitors. Why did they choose to assassinate the Imperial Teacher? Alas, it's too late to say anything now.

The ministers had been frowning for a long time, and had been secretly discussing ways to persuade His Majesty. But now they were told that Lord Wen was not dead and had returned to the capital.

Not only that, the girl that Your Majesty imprisoned in the palace is Lord Wen - what is going on?

The ministers all felt similarly devastated, and some of the victims turned their gazes to Ye Zhaoxuan, having already thought about how to question them after the banquet.

Ye Zhaoxuan: “…”

He hugged himself in fear.

Rumors can hurt people!

Xie Lang withdrew his gaze and calmly announced the start of the banquet.

Seeing that someone was helping him share the firepower, Wen Hemian breathed a sigh of relief and began to look around at the people present.

There were many familiar faces and many unfamiliar faces. She had learned about these in advance and there was nothing surprising about them. She had been gone for three years and it would be strange if nothing had changed.

It is worth mentioning that Wen Hemian saw two female officials at the end of the banquet. Although their official ranks were not high, it was at least the first time he saw women in the court. There should be more of them in the future.

In addition, there were also the princes who were invited.

Among them, Prince Jia Xie Yong was the closest to the royal family and had a higher status, so he sat in the front seat.

Unlike Ning Hechu who was smiling but had a dagger hidden behind his smile, Xie Yong looked more aggressive. Apart from being a member of the royal family, he had a good-looking appearance, but his pair of eyes with three white spots seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and he looked straight at him, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

Wen Hemian could clearly feel his inquiring gaze on him, which was sinister and ambitious, in short, it had no good intentions.

The ceremonial officer sang the ceremony and the process proceeded in an orderly manner. The weird atmosphere that had just become due to the appearance of Wen Hemian finally eased a little. Fine wine and delicious food were served, and the whole banquet was filled with laughter.

At this moment, Xie Yong, who had been sitting still, suddenly stood up and said, "I am far away in my fiefdom. When Your Majesty ascended the throne, I was unable to send you gifts. Today is Your Majesty's birthday, and I am celebrating with the heavens. I have prepared birthday gifts. I heard that Your Majesty's harem is happy, so I am offering them to you."

When these words were spoken, everyone at the table was stunned.

After what happened just now, everyone knew that the movements in the harem were related to Lord Wen. Even though people grumbled about it in private, no one dared to speak out openly.

Prince Jia looks respectful and sincere, so how could he be so bold in such a matter? Is he afraid that Your Majesty will not punish him?

Wen Hemian paused in drinking, his expression unchanged. In fact, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect this man to take action so soon. What did he want to do when it involved her?

Xie Lang is no longer the impulsive boy he used to be. After several years of training, he could remain calm and said easily: "Prince Jia is thoughtful."

Xie Yong smiled and signaled his men to bring up the birthday gifts. They were all local specialties, indeed rare and precious. Even some knowledgeable ministers could not help but show surprise when they saw this.

Of course, these gifts are not the point.

The point is...

Along with the birthday gifts came several beauties, some plump and some slender, with charming eyes, who looked very charming.

"Your Majesty is now over the age of adulthood, and is now in good health, and it is a good time to have children. I heard that your Majesty's harem is declining, so I specially sent a few beauties to you, hoping that your Majesty will have children soon."

When saying this, Xie Yong's expression was very natural, as if he really had good intentions and was thinking about the emperor's offspring, and his eyes were full of concern.

However, the ministers' faces changed, and they looked at Xie Lang and Wen Hemian in shock and suspicion, thinking that Xie Yong was even more audacious.

No matter what happens in the future, at least you can't be so tactless now!

Xie Lang had expected this to happen, and he smiled calmly: "I will make my own decisions on matters concerning the harem, so Prince Jia doesn't need to worry about it. I am not a lustful person like the late emperor, and Prince Jia has a leisurely and elegant life, so he should just enjoy it himself."

The late emperor's style has been criticized more than once or twice. Everyone knows Xie Lang's background, and there is actually no way to blame him for disrespecting his ancestors. However, no one expected that he could respond to Prince Jia in this way.

Wonderful!

Hearing that he was lumped in with the late emperor, Xie Yong's face darkened, but he didn't dare to say anything to his face, so he could only reply dryly, "Yes."

With this precedent, all the princes who came forward later became well behaved and did not dare to continue making trouble.

Halfway through the wine, a cool breeze began to blow.

Xie Lang frowned slightly and was about to ask Lai Xi to bring a cloak to Wen Hemian, but he saw him get up and go outside to get some fresh air.

The palace was heavily guarded, and with secret guards following him, there was no need to worry about anything going wrong. Xie Lang restrained himself for a long while and did not rush to follow him out.

He had long realized that he couldn't keep her by his side forever, so this time he let her appear in front of everyone just to express his attitude.

He knew it, and Wen Hemian knew it too.

Wen Hemian didn't go too far.

Tonight, most people's attention is focused on the banquet. There are undercurrents among the vassal kings. From time to time, some of them try to inquire about the situation in the capital through chatting. Most of their methods are not sophisticated, and it is estimated that not many of them really want to take action.

The garden was quiet and peaceful. Wen Hemian stood in the corridor looking at the scenery. A little palace maid came up behind her and put a cloak on her. She knew who gave the order without even thinking.

Perhaps knowing that she wanted to be alone, the palace servants quickly left and everything was quiet.

Then after a while, Wen Hemian heard another pair of footsteps. He didn't know whose footsteps they were, but it was definitely not Xie Lang's.

"Master Wen."

The person who came was Prince Jia.

Wen Hemian turned around, his eyes calm, "Your Highness Prince Jia."

There was a hint of surprise in Xie Yong's eyes.

It is said that beauty is best seen under the lamp. When he learned the truth about the substitute at the banquet just now, he was really shocked. However, even if he was watching from a distance, he could confirm that the imperial teacher who had changed into women's clothes was an absolute beauty. Just sitting there, she made people feel that she was not to be desecrated.

No wonder the little emperor was thinking about it.

He had a rough idea that his gift offering would fail, but he didn't expect Xie Lang to completely ignore his offer and reject it so decisively.

However, with such a more beautiful woman in front of him, the refusal is understandable.

Wen Hemian frowned in disgust: "May I ask what business His Royal Highness Prince Jia has with me?"

"Master Wen is your Majesty's teacher." Xie Yong said with a smile, "I guess Master Wen may not be willing to stay in the palace. If you want, I may be able to help you deal with it."
