The prince is very cruel

Perhaps this is something that other people would not even dare to think about, but for Guan Ning now, it is actually not difficult to steal an inconspicuous concubine out of the palace.

As we talked, the sky gradually darkened.

At least a dozen people came to Guan Mansion, including Chen Tu, Xiao Changhe, Old Xiao, and Abbot Yang Wen of Jing'an Temple, who also came in a low-key manner.

Pei Nanyin also came.

He also brought Yuan Xiang with him. As soon as they met, this unruly and hot-tempered female man chased Guan Ning and beat him up, cursing him for being unfaithful and saying that he had promised to wait for her in the capital but went back on his word.

Guan Ning was chased all over the yard. This girl was really brave enough to take action. Lou Xinyue and others looked like they were enjoying the show, and no one else dared to go up and pull her away.

Finally, it was only after Guan Ning gave in and apologized that the furious Yuan Xiang was appeased, and she finally calmed down after he agreed to play with her for at least seven days.

At this moment, the night is falling and thousands of houses in the capital are lit up.

"Husband, it's time for dinner. Everything is ready." Qin Yao said with a smile.

"Oh?"

"It smells so good! I can smell it from so far away!" Guan Ning sniffed hard.

"There are prawns sent by the Huangye Chamber of Commerce." Qin Yao said.

Guan Ning's eyes suddenly lit up. During the time since he left Shu, the news that shrimps can be eaten has gradually spread and even set off a craze. From then on, there was a new dish on the table of every household, that is, boiled shrimps.

For ordinary people, this allows them to eat meat without spending any money.

"Hahaha, good!"

"Everyone, please move into the hall. We won't go home until we are drunk tonight!" Guan Ning laughed loudly, full of passion.

Chen Tu and the others were all very excited: "I've heard that people in Shu eat shrimps and insects, so we must try it today."

"Yes, I heard that restaurants outside the city have already started selling this dish."

"Some people eat this every day and grow stronger."

"What a marvel!"

"go!"

"Your Majesty, please!"

A huge crowd of people bowed and gathered together, as if it was New Year's Day, and they were very happy. Both the ladies and the servants seemed very hospitable.

Laughter and joyful chatter accompanied their footsteps as Guan Ning was about to lead the way into the dining room. Qin Yao and the others, along with their servants, had already prepared a large table of feast. The aroma of the food could be smelled from a long distance away.

Guan Ning's stomach was rumbling and he couldn't wait any longer.

But at this moment, an inopportune voice sounded, instantly shattering the entire atmosphere.

"The imperial edict has arrived!!"

Three sharp words broke the tranquility of the night and spread from the gate to the inside. Then, a team of palace guards walked in, escorting an old eunuch.

And this old eunuch Guan Ningke is very familiar to me. He is an old acquaintance, the Green Steward.

Suddenly, the whole palace was shocked. An imperial edict?

Lou Xinyue, Shengqi and the others all looked stern and tensed up.

Guan Ning signaled everyone not to panic. Judging from the situation, it didn't look like they were going to fall out and arrest people directly.

He quickly led people to meet them.

"I, Guan Ning, kneel to receive the imperial edict!"

"Long live the emperor!" Everyone in the palace followed suit and saluted.

Yuan Xiang frowned, looking unhappy, and muttered through her cherry red lips: "Who is this? Why come at this time instead of earlier? How annoying!"

Princess Nanyin on the side was so scared that she covered her mouth. This girl really dared to say anything.

The Green Steward walked forward with a smile, opened the imperial edict, and shouted in a sharp and feminine voice.

"It is destined to be carried by heaven, the emperor decreed."

"Exhort Guan Ning to enter the palace immediately. I decree this!"

As soon as the words fell, the whole yard fell silent.

"That's all?" Everyone was confused. It was the first time they heard such a brief imperial edict. What could have required such a summons?

"Prince, please accept the order."

"The carriage is waiting outside."

"Your Majesty has set up a table for you in the Weiyang Palace. I have followed Your Majesty for so many years, but this is the first time I have seen Your Majesty set up a table alone for a young person." Eunuch Lu smiled and looked friendly. It was impossible to tell that there was nothing wrong with him, as if it was a banquet to commend him.

But Guan Ning was not happy at all. The more this happened, the more it showed that it was not simple. It might even be a Hongmen Banquet.
