The prince can read minds! I just want to be a princess and have a bad time

The store was completely silent, and all the ministers remained silent, and no one dared to take the lead.

They have already seen clearly that Prince De was deliberately killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, and Princess Zhuo's words were just a cover. No matter how harsh her words were, they were just a mother's simple venting of anger.

But King De directly issued a secret order. He was warning them with practical actions. He was serious!

The Princes of Licheng and Yuncheng, who had been standing at the back and watching the show the whole time, said that they enjoyed watching the show very much! !

Not to mention Lu Feifeng, the prince of Youcheng who follows Prince Zhuo silently. His own younger brother is still in the hands of the princess. He is definitely a member of Prince Zhuo's party.

Because of what happened last time, the Prince of Yuncheng also turned from neutrality to dissatisfaction with Luocheng. Even the Queen Mother, a woman in the harem, dared to ask for money from the officials of their fiefdom. It is conceivable how much of a failure this Emperor of Luocheng has suffered.

There is no need to say more about Licheng Prince Lu Chuchen. Although he has no friendship with King Zhuo, he is a close friend of Ye family's eldest brother Ye Xiuzhuo. Most of their businesses are involved together, and they are as close as wearing the same pants.

Xiu Zhuo's only dear sister married Zhuo Cheng Gu Commander. Even if he didn't help Lu Yingxing, he wouldn't have to help the emperor, right? Besides, his wife had business dealings with Princess Zhuo.

In their view, Prince Zhuo and Princess Zhuo were the truly smart people. A cruel and inhumane emperor and an unreasonable princess, once their reputation spread, they would naturally lose popularity among the people.

They don't intend to usurp the throne, so why do they need public support?

Princess Zhuo became famous in one battle today, and she has offended all the people in the palace. But this is obviously what the emperor wants to see. She has lost the support of the people and the officials in the main city. Even if Prince Zhuo really rebels, it will not be justified.

What's even more amazing is Prince De. His last words were clearly intended to plant the seeds of doubt in the emperor's heart...

Even those two little kids are no pushovers. This year's state banquet, haha, is worth it.

The palace banquet was held as usual afterwards, and all officials above the fourth rank in Luo City were invited to attend the banquet. Because it was also the Queen Mother's birthday, each minister was able to bring their family members.

The fight in the Hall of Supreme Harmony just now ended in nothing. In the end, Lord Xu had to bear everything. The Emperor sentenced him to dismissal and investigation on the grounds of dangerous alarmism and attempting to murder the royal heir.

The ministers did not even have time to change into their official uniforms as they had to rush to meet up with the women of each family for the banquet. However, each of them warned their wives not to offend Princess Zhuo.

Prince De left first, and Prince Zhuo also walked slowly towards him with his wife and children.

When the group arrived at the banquet palace, the sunset glow had quietly appeared in the sky, like the brocade left behind by the Weaver Girl, gorgeous and gentle.

The lanterns on the roadside were lit one by one. From a distance, they looked like stars scattered inadvertently in the night sky, adding a different sense of ritual to the arrival of the family of four.

The dinner was held in a hall surrounded by the "Five Dragon Pond", which was named after the five dragon-shaped stone platforms standing in the middle of the pond. The pool was connected to the shore by a winding stone bridge. The largest of the stone platforms extended all the way into the hall and was the performance venue for dancers and musicians. The graceful singing and dancing, the harmonious sounds of stringed instruments, and the lively but not noisy atmosphere made the night scene of the palace particularly dazzling.

The palace maids led the guests to their seats one after another. The emperor, empress, and queen mother sat on the top steps. The next step was for Prince De and several princes. The third step was for the royal lords of the other four cities. The fourth step was for the princes with titles.

Mu Ruilin, Su Wei and others had also sat down early in this row, with Xiao Mogu beside him. As the former King of Mohe, he was actually not qualified to attend the palace banquet. After all, in the eyes of the emperor, he was just a surrendered foreigner. But in order to give face to Lu Yingxing, an exception was made to allow him to attend.

Lu Yingxing's family of four made a high-profile entrance and became the focus of everyone's attention from the moment they entered the hall. They were brought to a low table with four seats, on which snacks and fruits had been prepared in advance. The palace servant who was waiting on the side was Sui Yu, one of the three major guards beside Prince De?

Prince De was telling them: Eat with confidence, I have arranged it.

Sui Yu's appearance also established the favorability of Princess Zhuo. Almost everyone in the powerful circle in Luocheng knew that Prince De had adopted Shen Yu as his adopted daughter, and even adopted one of her adopted brothers as his son. It was not just an ordinary recognition, but the kind that allowed the prince to inherit the title and be recorded in the royal family tree.

This made all the noble families in Luo City want to know who Lu Mu was. It would be best if they could form a marriage alliance.

I don’t know if it was an intentional arrangement or a coincidence today, but the person sitting one level above Lu Yingxing was actually the Second Prince?

Lu Junling's mother died early, and he has no relatives from his mother's side. He is an older unmarried man, so he did not bring his family with him tonight. He was the only one sitting at the huge table, which was really sad and miserable.

When he saw the twins, his eyes lit up immediately. He sat in his seat and kept making faces, trying to seduce the little kids.

"Long time no see, Xiao Tiantian, Xiao Chenchen, do you miss your uncle?"

Shen Yu found it funny when he saw his perverted look. Lu Junling went to Zhuocheng to attend the wedding of Gu Liu and Ye Muan. During that time, he only focused on one thing: snatching the baby from Gao Yong!

Because he is willing to spend money, Gao Yong is the favorite of all the other kids in the palace. You can imagine how popular he is!

Even though the children in the palace often teased Gao Yong, they really doted on him. It was hard to say who played with whom, but the people of Zhuocheng were already used to seeing Gao Yong with a cute baby by his side.

This made the second prince, an "outsider" who was also a wealthy man, extremely unhappy. He considered himself to be an "insider" of the Zhuo Palace, and had joined the palace much longer than Gu Liu. Therefore, in the month before and after the wedding banquet, in addition to staying with Gu Liu to prepare for the wedding, he spent most of the time in the Zhuo Palace taking care of the children.

Chenchen and Tiantian naturally knew him, and they were very excited to see an acquaintance in Los Angeles. After getting their father's consent, they sat at his table, and the "three" children went to talk in whispers.

Shen Yu naturally had no objection. It was obvious that this seat was arranged by Prince De. Anyway, apart from the eldest prince, the second prince, and the second princess, she was not familiar with the emperor's other children.

"It's very sweet, ma'am, would you like to try it?"

While she was lost in thought, Lu Yingxing suddenly handed a peeled lychee to her mouth.

Shen Yu, "..."

Brother, what are you doing here? Can you please stop adding extra scenes at the last minute?

He rolled his eyes in his heart, but on the surface he still cooperated by opening his mouth and taking a bite of the fruit.

For some reason, she felt that this guy did it on purpose...

Lu Yingxing even used a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, and asked affectionately, "Madam, isn't it sweet?"

Shen Yu, "..."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, she could only respond with a coy expression, "Yeah, very sweet."

"Hahaha, Prince Zhuo and the Princess are indeed in love!" A hearty laugh came from the next floor.

Most of the guests in the hall have arrived. Most of them are sitting in their seats waiting, but there are always some people who like to socialize.

Lu Yingxing smiled and raised his eyes, "Mr. Cheng En, you are joking. How can feeding your wife a piece of fruit be considered loving? Isn't this what a husband should do?"

"Oh, I didn't expect that our King Zhuo is actually a wife slave? Hahaha!" The words were said with a smile, but anyone could hear the ill intentions in them.

There were many female relatives from various families at this banquet, but there was indeed no minister like Prince Zhuo who sat in his seat and served his beloved wife.

He was peeling grapes for the princess, feeding her snacks, and even had to test the temperature of the tea before drinking it! ?

Ministers of low official positions and their wives were forced to eat dog food because they did not dare to move around freely.

Shen Yu raised his eyes and looked at this Uncle Cheng En, and finally remembered who this man was. Wasn't he Xue Zhenzhen's biological father?

Thinking of his daughter who was killed by his own hands... She lowered her head shyly, thinking about the fact that Xue Zhenzhen was reborn. Did anyone else in the Xue family know about it?

Apart from the four city princes, Lord Cheng'en, as the brother of the current empress dowager, is considered to have the highest status among the princes.

This man looked to be in his early fifties, with a fat body, a small face and narrow eyes. He looked like he had indulged in excessive sexual activities. The look he gave Shen Yu was both provocative and playful, and it was obvious that he wanted to cause trouble.

After Lord Cheng En stepped onto the third step, the guests nearby basically stopped talking and looked towards Prince Zhuo at the same time. Mu Ruilin was no exception, with worry in his eyes.

He looked around at this strange fat man and could tell from his brother-in-law's attitude that this guy didn't get along with their family...

Among the people on the upper four floors, except for the eldest uncle of the Ji family and the uncle-master of the Lu family who are relatively older, the rest of the princes can be regarded as young talents. The royal lords of the three cities still sent their princes to the banquet this year, which resulted in that among the upper floors, only the Earl Cheng En looked anxious.

Although the two uncles from the Ji family and the Lu family are relatively weak, they are still handsome uncles in Shen Yu's eyes!

A wretched fat guy suddenly mixed in with a group of handsome guys, it was really a bit eye-catching...

Everyone was standing at the forefront, waiting to see how Prince Zhuo would fight back. After all, he was well-known for loving his wife, and they didn't believe he could tolerate it!

Lu Yingxing did not disappoint everyone and replied calmly, "So what?"

"My apologies. The name of Prince Zhuo's beloved wife is well-known. I thought everyone was deliberately smearing the prince's reputation, but I didn't expect it to be true? Hahahahaha."

These words made the eldest prince sitting opposite frown, but the second prince couldn't help but retort.

"How can the reputation of loving your wife be smeared? Your father also loves your mother very much. According to what Lord Cheng En said, is this also someone deliberately smearing your father's reputation?"

"... Second Prince, you are joking. The Emperor is wise and brave, and he and the Empress are in harmony with each other. Hey! Look, it was me, the Emperor's uncle, who drank too much and talked nonsense. Don't blame me!" After saying that, he smiled and went to talk to other ministers.

The second prince rolled his eyes at him and ignored him, continuing to feed the baby with his head down.

Bah! He dares to call himself the emperor's uncle? Are you worthy?

Not long after, the Emperor and Empress came on stage holding the Queen Mother's hand, looking very happy, and the dinner was officially announced to begin.
